The laughter in the living room was in stark contrast to Michael Marshall’s mood.

A sense of irritation welled up within Michael Marshall and a flicker of anger danced in his eyes.

Having finished the late-night supper, Michael went to observe Olivia’s true personality for himself, unwilling to let this seemingly nälVe woman continue to deceive the Marshall Family.

Michael stood behind Olivia, observing her playing cards.

Everyone knew that Michael was present, but nobody said a word.

After watching Olivia for a while, his restlessness grew. His frustration was so intense that he wished he could play in her place. Who on earth played cards like that? It would be a miracle if she didn’t lose.

With years of experience, Michael concluded that not only did Olivia not know how to stack cards properly, but she also seemed flustered and uncoordinated. She seemed to play cards randomly.

A moment later, unable to contain his frustration, Michael intervened and pitched a card for Olivia.

Olivia tilted her head to reflect, and concluded his card play was appropriate.

In her next move, she drew the very card she had planned to discard, which was stacked right next to it. Luckily, she hadn’t discarded it, or else it would have been a waste.

As Matthew Marshall drew his card, Olivia saw she had a pair and could perform the “pung” manoeuvre, but she was slow to respond. Michael Marshall called out “Pung” for her.

If it wasn’t for his reminder, Olivia wouldn’t have even noticed her winning combination.

“Look, after you get your Pung, you can draw another card and call out ‘Mahjong’. If you had discarded the card as you initially planned, you might not have won even tomorrow, ” commented Michael.

Olivia found Michael’s strategy reasonable and nodded in acknowledgment.

She had only grasped the basics of the game and could barely manage to hold the tiles, let alone strategize.

If and when she could call Mahjong, she needed time to figure out.

She had to separate and look at every combination of three in order to understand it, unlike the others who could discern it instantly.

Both Alexander Marshall and Daniel Marshall sneaked glances at Olivia and Michael. They wisely kept silent, savouring the harmony in the family, the peace, and the absence of any sharp words or glaring looks.

Eventually, under Michael’s instruction, Olivia was finally victorious in a round.

Michael had one of the servants bring him a chair, and he sat down next to Olivia, teaching her how to play the game.

this woman wasn’t pretending to be naive, she genuinely didn’t know how to play Mahjong. Michael grew increasingly anxious and wished he could play the game for her.

Olivia’s occasional clumsiness while playing Mahjong was amusing and rather cute, not to mention entertaining, unlike her annoying chatter.

Watching the whole family having fun, Daniel rarely called Mahjong. He basically let others win.

The aim was to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves. Not all things required a vigorous pursuit of victory.

Upon hearing the report from her informer, Bella Thompson was filled with an uncontrollable rage.

Bella desperately resented the old man for banishing her from the Marshall family while solidifying his influence at home and fostering harmony among the family members. He was brainwashing both Matthew and Michael, and forcing them to swallow down the humiliation that she and her son had endured.

The old man was also assisting that despicable woman, Olivia, to build relations within the family in order to improve their perception of her. So that they wouldn’t criticize her at every turn. He was damn biases!

His favoritism towards her infuriated Bella to the point where her eyes turned bloody red and her rage nearly overflowed.

The harmony within the Marshall Family must be disrupted. There was no way Bella would allow Michael to change his perspective of Olivia, nor was she going to allow them to brainwash Matthew. She was determined to create chaos within the family and thus have an excuse to kick Olivia out.

Fearing that her son may fall victim to those despicable people, fearing that her son may continue his duties without contesting the Marshall Corporation, Bella immediately called Matthew as soon as she heard from her informer that the game had ended and Matthew had retired to his room.

“Matthew, Olivia Jenkins and Daniel Marshall are the worst, don’t trust them,” warned Bella..
