Chapter 431

• Now I finally understand why Mr. Adler said he got along so well with his uncle.
• Olivia Yarlett and I walked over to the dessert area and casually picked up a few delicately crafted pastries. However, as I looked at these pastries, I didn't have much of an appetite. I glanced around, but still couldn't spot Mr. Adler. It was then that I realized how much I relied on him. I always believed that as long as he was by my side, everything would be fine. I could obediently follow him and he would protect me from everything.
• Seeing me surveying the surroundings, Olivia Yarlett smiled and said, "Sylvia is probably still doing her makeup inside. When my parents held my coming-of-age ceremony, I also spent a long time doing my makeup. Looking back now, it was really silly. After this birthday, it feels like I've truly grown up."
