"Olivia, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Will you marry me?"

As soon as Evan Nolan's words fell, everyone's gazes focused on them.

"That's Olivia Carlson? The former young lady of the Carlson family? She's so beautiful!"

"I remember seeing her half a year ago. Wasn't she quite ordinary? Did she have plastic surgery?"

"How could that be? I've watched Miss Carlson grow up. She was stunningly beautiful when she was young, but after her parents were gone, it was like a pearl covered in dust! Until today, suddenly it feels like the former young lady of the Carlson family is back..."

"Oh right, speaking of this, the Pearson family is really lucky. I heard that Olivia transferred her 35% of the shares to her uncle, and now the Carlson family's company is all in the hands of the Pearson family!"

"Doesn't Olivia have a younger sister? I heard she still holds 35%."

"Do you think that 35% can be kept safe?"

"That's true. The Pearson family is so sneaky. It's really a pity for these two sisters!"

"Shh, keep your voices down. Now the Pearson family and the Nolan family have an extraordinary relationship. There seems to be some power behind the Nolan family that we're not aware of..."

Amidst the low discussions of the crowd, Olivia also walked onto the stage with a smile.

The moonlit flowing dress had a very light misty color as its base, and the tailoring was fitting, outlining the girl's slender figure.

On top of the base color were embellishments embroidered with silver thread. This kind of thread was very special. Under the light, it would reflect a moonlit texture and flow along with the person's curves.

Evan Nolan watched as Olivia got closer and closer, his heartbeat involuntarily speeding up a bit.

When did this girl, whom he had always only used, become so beautiful?

She completely outshone Stella Pearson!

And he had only discovered Olivia's beauty now. A few days ago, he had even handed her over to that pervert Damien Thorn. It was simply too much of a loss!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his teeth itch with hatred.

He stretched out his hand, waiting for Olivia to place her hand in his palm.

However, Olivia stopped three meters away from him.

The girl's hair was casually tied into a small bun, with a few strands of hair falling at her temples. Her face was only lightly made up, yet it was dazzlingly radiant.

She walked up to Mason Pearson and smiled. "Uncle, I can't steal the spotlight at my cousin's birthday party. After Stella's party is over, I'll invite friends to witness my engagement!"

Mason Pearson immediately smiled. "Olivia is so considerate! Then let's have Stella perform a piece for everyone first..."

So, Stella, wearing a champagne-colored evening gown, walked over and sat down at the piano.

She was about to play when she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned her head. "Olivia, let's play together."

Olivia sneered in her heart. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in her previous life!

In her previous life, at this birthday party, Stella had prepared too many things for her, and her reputation had started to take an irreversible turn after this birthday party!

Now that she had a second chance, she was determined to turn the tables and make this the starting point for the Pearson family and the Nolan family's road to ruin!

Olivia had just sat down at the piano when she heard Stella say, "Olivia, let's play 'Star Ember' together. You've practiced this piece for a few years too."

Upon hearing this, Olivia's expression stiffened slightly, seeming a bit hesitant. "Oh, okay then."

The corners of Stella's lips curled up.

Olivia was really putting on airs. This piece was composed a year ago, but Olivia hadn't touched the piano for two years!

She took the lead in playing the prelude, just waiting for Olivia to embarrass herself next.
