Its value was far beyond the dress Olivia was wearing.
"Jeremy, who's that woman?" asked Faye. She pressed her face against Jeremy's chest and gripped his shirt, while she looked at Olivia with hostility.
Olivia paid no heed to Faye and looked at the glass of wine in front of Jeremy, which was almost finished.
She frowned and moved her eyes on Jeremy, who looked at her arrogantly. She confronted him, "You have wounds in your back, why are you still drinking wine?"
Jeremy sneered scornfully, "Do you really believe that you're my wife?"
Olivia looked away from Jeremy and scanned around the room with a sharp look in her eyes. "You are all Jeremy's good friends. You know that he is wounded, but you just let him drink wine at his free will. Aren't you actually killing him?"
Olivia confronted his friends and ended the last sentence with an aggressive tone.
Their hearts trembled. What a horrible accusation!
No one would want to accept the charge of killing the Si family's only heir. Jeremy's friends, who were usually very bold, wanted to say something to defend themselves, but Olivia was emanating such a strong aura that they all kept silent.
They suddenly realised why Daniel had forced his son to marry this woman. This woman might be the right one to tame Jeremy... There was a good chance that this woman could bring Jeremy under control!
Faye also felt this woman was a strong rival to her. She got panicked but managed to snap, "How could you say something like that? Marvin and the others here are all of Jeremy's closest friends. They have experienced a lot together. Please don't try to stir up trouble amongst them!"
Olivia glanced at Faye and sneered, "You are a college student. You should be in school right now, but you've escaped from your classes to play around with Jeremy. Is that what your parents have taught you? Jeremy is set to get married very soon, but you are still keeping an ambiguous relationship with him just for the money. Have you no shame anymore?"
Faye got embarrassed by Olivia's words, as her face turned red and then pale. When she was about to retort, Olivia didn't give her the chance and carried on her sermon, "Don't tell me you are doing this because of love. Even if you love Jeremy, you are still loving a man who belongs to another woman. And also, don't try to tell me that you have true love between the two of you. You have already been together with Jeremy for two years. If Jeremy is truly in love with you, why hasn't he slept with you yet?"
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded by her words. They thought Jeremy had already... slept with Faye.
Faye's eyes reddened with embarrassment and explained, "That's because... Jeremy always respected me."
Faye felt so awkward to let the other people know that Jeremy hadn't had sex with her during the past two years.
In fact, in order to get Jeremy, who was such a wealthy man, Faye had taken many initiatives to seduce Jeremy, but he refused every time. Because Daniel's only rule for Jeremy was that he was not allowed to play with women irresponsibly.
If Jeremy were to violate this agreement, he would lose everything for the rest of his life.
Olivia grinned and said scornfully, "Respect you? Then why did he sleep with me in the same bed? And he even wanted to have sex with me at the middle of night, why?" If she hadn't kicked him off the bed that night, which caused him come back to his senses, they would've really had sex and their photos would have been taken by all the reporters.
Jeremy felt ashamed to hear Olivia speaking the truth, so he said, "Olivia Xia, just tell everyone now. Why did I sleep in the same bed with you? How did it happen? Tell them the whole story."
Olivia wasn't in a hurry to answer his question. She took up his glass of wine and drank the rest of wine in it. Then she casually said, "You can go ask Mr. Si and Mrs. Si. It's hard to explain everything clearly to all of you."
"You must have done something to trick Jeremy into doing it!" Faye yelled at Olivia and thought in her mind, 'If Jeremy really marries this woman, I will be the first person to oppose it!'
