Chapter 363 [Bonus Chapter] Veil Of Hatred!(Chapter Preview)

"Did Leo know that he is Olivia's escort today?" Although Eli was happy to see that Arden had a lady by his side, she was a bit bewildered when it was Olivia!

"I did not know! I hav not seen Arden around Leo for a while, he had taken leave for a week as far as i remember!" Evan stood up and straightened her dress as if she was going to attack her enemy.

Eli stared at her with a conflicted gaze but in the end she did not stop Evangeline but at the same time did not join her too. She continued to sit there as a spectator.

"Thank you, but you should not go personally. I could have asked a maid to bring juice for me!" A hint of hesitation filled the eyes of Olivia but it vanished as soon as it came as she took the glass of juice from Arden and took a sip.

"Why? As your partner it is only right that I will take care of you! If truth be told, I was not expecting you to come here. So when I received your letter that you wanted me to escort you, I did not know whether I should say yes or not!" her eyes met his and she looked away and took another sip of the juice!

"Arden, were you afraid that Leo would be angry with you?" of course, he had thrown her like a pest! He would not want her back here and as his Aide, he would be worried about it!

"No! You have mistaken! I was worried that you would be hurt! I did not want to see you upset again!"

Her eyes flickered with astonishment and she stared hard at his face only to see the sincerity she had searched for her life on the face of Leo.

"Then would you help me in meeting leo! I want to apologize to him and end this chapter of my life today before he gets married!

That way even I would be able to bury my thoughts and move on!" her eyes casted and she looked at the place where Arden felt bad for the girl!

She had suffered a lot without any mistake only because she thought that Leo was going to be her husband. And if Evan would not have been there, she was the perfect candidate for that!

But he could only try. If Leo would not want, then he could not force his master since he could see Leo was worried about something!

"That.."

"If you are here to apologize only, then I can fix a meeting between you and Leo. but are you sure that you could let go?!" they both turned to see Evan standing behind them with her hands crossed on her chest and staring at Olivia with her bright eyes but there was no hostility!

"You did not need to apologize since I understand what you have done. But what is important is that you learn to let go! Loving a man who would never care about you is hurting yourself, no matter how much power he has in society!

In fact, you should look for those who care about you and can make you happy!" Evan stared at Arden who had bowed his head with embarrassment and then at Olivia who took the hint but gritted her teeth!

After getting married to the son of the duke, she was trying to show off to her and asking her to be with a count! She was definitely looking down on her!

But the eyes, Olivia felt insulted by the way her eyes were staring at her!

"You know nothing! So you do not have any right to comment!" the words came out through gritted teeth!

She was the one who had waited for him all this while, befriended his mother, sisters! Took care of things when his mother died and even supported their family in the public!

And what had Evangeline done for the family? She just came out of nowhere and took all the rights that were meant to be hers! And now she was trying to show off in front of her!

"I know, I know nothing! And I know you have had feelings for so long! But what would you achieve from these one side lingering feelings! In the end, you have to let go!" it was not because she envied or hated Olivia, she understood how it felt to lose hopes!

That was why she wanted her to learn and grow from this incident. She could see the hatred bubbling in her heart and it would only ruin her life!

"Olivia, i think.."

"Clank!" before Evan could speak further her eyes widened when she saw the blood flowing out of Olivia's hands.

The glass of juice she was holding broke and a pointed shard pierced her skin but she didn't even realize it! Her eyes were only fixated on the face of Evan with hatred! If only! If only she had not interfered! If only she had not come into their life!!

"Olivia! Are you okay?" Arden held her hand and his heart clenched to see so much blood coming out of it!

His face was full of worry and this was the first time that his hands trembled when he took a piece of glass from her skin.

She winced and guilt filled his face as if it was his mistake.

"It is okay, it will be fine. Come with me, I will bandage the wound! I am sure the blood would stop as soon as I bandaged it! Nothing would happen! Nothing would happen do not worry!" his face was so flustered as if it was not just a small wound but a fatal injury that could kill her.

He did not even notice that he was repeating the same words again and again as he held her hands so gently as if he was afraid that a minor pressure would break the frail glass.

"I am fine, it is just a minor scratch!" finally coming back to her senses, Olivia tried to take her hands away but Arden did not let her.

"It is not at all minor and I am not asking you! You are coming with me for a bandage!" he tired and bowed his head towards Evan who was looking at the whole scene with interest and nodded as if giving permission to leave when Olivia glared at her but did not declined again and followed Arden who took hasty steps as if a life was on stake.

"I am telling you it is not a serious wound!"

"Shush!! You have no idea about injuries so you better not argue and come with me!" slowly their voices were no more audible as she saw Olivia struggling to get her hand free but Arden did not let her while many nobles saw them with curiosity and started whispering while Evan shook her head!

"If only you can take the veil of hatred away and see what is awaiting for you, Olivia! Your life would have been full of love too!"
