chapter 13 Olivia Lin regretted it

On Saturday night at eight o'clock, Olivia Lin arrived at the City of Tianfu as scheduled!
Today, she was dressed in a black low-cut evening gown, with fiery red lips, looking extremely alluring.
At first, she was reluctant to dress this way, but under the urging of Emma Chen, she put on this sexy outfit.
The hotel, towering over 300 meters, was splendidly decorated, with a large number of luxury cars parked. The people moving around were all the high and mighty wealthy and celebrities she usually found unapproachable.
In Olivia's heart, there was both nervousness and anticipation.
"Miss Lin, you're remarkably punctual!" Looking up, she saw Albert Meng, who had been waiting there for a while. At this moment, he had a full smile on his face, showing no signs of anything unusual. It was just his balding head and unattractive face that made Olivia Lin feel quite uncomfortable, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Mr. Meng, hello!"
"Hehe, Miss Lin, you're too kind. The banquet starts at nine, let's go inside!"
Unlike his usual casual demeanour, Albert Meng seemed to be very formal today. Olivia Lin, noticing this, let down her guard a little and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
However, beneath that formal expression, there was a lecherous and urgent heart.
Whilst walking beside Olivia Lin, his eyes constantly glancing at the exposed areas of her, his inner restlessness rising like waves.
Little girl, you used to ignore me, but today, I'll make sure to have my way with you!
In the top presidential suite of City of Tianfu, Alan Xu, Bert Shen, and Ava He looked down at the crowd below the hotel, which appeared no larger than ants.
"There are quite a lot of people here today, and there's no shortage of wealthy people in Jiang City!" Alan Xu was somewhat surprised.
"Young Master, Jiang City is located in the coastal area and is inherently rich. There are countless people with assets exceeding a billion. I deliberately cut off more than seventy percent of them for this banquet. Everyone who can come is undoubtedly the cream of the crop among elites!" Bert Shen, standing next to Alan Xu like a respectful follower, explained.
"It seems I underestimated Jiang City. It's a prosperous place by nature. I think most of the guests have arrived. I should go down and meet them, shouldn't I?" Alan Xu stood up and adjusted his clothes.
Today, Alan Xu was wearing a light blue suit, exuding an air of nobility, looking handsome and entirely different from his previous unimpressive appearance.
"Brother, you're the limelight of this banquet. You're the brightest star among them all. There's no need to go down now. These people, though they don't know your true identity, have come with the intention to flatter you. You can let them wait a bit longer. It won't be too late to go down at nine o'clock!" Ava He walked over, pressed Alan Xu back onto the sofa, and handed him an apple. "Brother, just relax here and enjoy. When the time is right, you can go down!"
"Young Master, Miss is right. Going down early might actually lower your status!" Bert Shen chimed in. "Besides, with your distinguished status, they can wait for a year if necessary."
Taking the apple, Alan Xu shrugged. He really wasn't adept at dealing with these things. He might as well heed their advice. He half-lay on the opulent and spacious sofa, starting to eat the apple.
The venue for this banquet was in the grand hall of Tianzi No.1 in City of Tianfu. Upon entering, Olivia Lin was deeply impressed. It wasn't the spaciousness of the hall that amazed her, but rather the people inside, all of whom were prominent figures rarely seen even if one tried hard outside.
She observed for a while. The guests had been here for quite some time, but the host hadn't shown up yet. This was clearly a display of prestige.
The grander the display, the higher the host's status.
She couldn't help but wonder who the host of the banquet was, to wield such immense power!
In addition to being awestruck, her mood was now extremely good. It even swept away all the previous anguish and discontent. In the depths of her heart, she began to envision a bright future, believing that she would definitely find the opportunities she desired here.
She had worried too much before coming. At this moment, Albert Meng hadn't shown any lecherous behaviour. Instead, he was very earnest in discussing cooperation with her. Along the way, they had already agreed to sign the contract tomorrow and buy all the high-quality tiles.
The price he offered was twice what she had estimated, giving their company a profit of 23 million. In this case, even if other companies severed ties, she would hardly incur a loss and might even make a small gain.
At this moment, her crisis had been effectively resolved.
Furthermore, on their way, Albert Meng introduced her to several bigwigs. He promised that if the transaction was completed with both quality and quantity, he would introduce her to even more influential figures in the future.
He even mentioned that after the host of the banquet appeared later, he would help introduce her to them!
Thinking about meeting such influential figures, Olivia Lin was thrilled. She felt that her beautiful life was truly about to begin!
This was the wonderful life she had, after leaving Alan Xu, and it was all based on her own capabilities!
"Miss Lin, we've discussed everything we needed to. Shall we have a drink to celebrate?" Albert Meng smiled very gentlemanly.
"Alright!"
Olivia Lin was also happy. There were about a hundred or so people in the hall, and Albert Meng wouldn't dare to do anything to her after a drink. Besides, Albert Meng's behaviour just now had greatly reduced her wariness, so she felt even more comfortable having a drink.
"Waiter, please bring two glasses of whiskey!" Albert Meng waved his hand.
"After you, sir!" The waiter quickly brought two glasses of whiskey.
Albert Meng picked up one of the glasses from the tray and downed it in one go. Seeing that Albert Meng was fine, Olivia Lin, imitating the elegant demeanour of other women at the banquet, also picked up her glass and downed it.
Seeing Olivia Lin finish her drink, Albert Meng, who had maintained a gentlemanly demeanour, revealed a mischievous smile on his old face. "Miss Lin, now we should get to know each other more intimately."
"Mr. Meng, how do we get to know each other more intimately?" Olivia Lin still had no sense of crisis.
"Hehe, of course, it means going to bed. Let me experience the taste of your body! I can't wait any longer. Now, accompany me to sleep!" Albert Meng licked his lips, revealing his true nature, his eyes lecherously fixed on Olivia Lin.
"Meng Boss, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly sleep with you?" Olivia Lin's face turned angry. She could feel that the Albert Meng in front of her was still the shameless person he used to be. She felt like she couldn't stay here any longer. "I'm leaving, goodbye!"
"After drinking my wine, do you think you can still leave? I'll take good care of you later, hahaha!" Albert Meng leered.
Just as Olivia Lin was about to leave, she suddenly felt dizzy. The Albert Meng in front of her turned into a blur, and then she felt her whole body go weak, collapsing to the ground!
Albert Meng immediately instructed the waiter who had just brought him the wine to carry Olivia Lin from the VIP hall to the security room.
Afterward, Albert Meng drove away all the security guards. In the spacious security room, there were only Albert Meng and Olivia Lin left.
It was only then that Olivia Lin understood. Albert Meng didn't actually want to cooperate with her. He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have his way with her!
Bringing her here was just a ploy to lower her guard!
She felt panicked and wanted to cry for help, but she realized she couldn't make a sound.
It was as if her calls fell on deaf ears.
"You shameless scoundrel. Last time, I tried to seduce you, but you refused. Now, things are different. You're going to be at my mercy! I've already bribed the security here. They won't come in unless I tell them to. We can take our time enjoying what a man and a woman can share, hahaha!"
Albert Meng looked at Olivia Lin's long, fair thighs, and he felt his mouth go dry.
"You’re all mine now!"
Albert Meng couldn't wait any longer. However, it was only just nine o'clock. The security room's monitor displayed that everyone at the banquet had stood up, seemingly to welcome someone!
His actions came to a halt. If so many important figures were standing up to greet someone, it must be the mysterious host of the banquet.
Enjoying Olivia Lin's body was important, but he could spare a few seconds. He wanted to get a good look at the mysterious host and butter him up in the future!
He crouched down and forcibly lifted Olivia Lin's head. "You wild woman, didn't you want to get to know the host through me? Come and see with me who the host of this banquet is!"
Olivia Lin was now in extreme fear, unable to focus on anything. Even when he lifted her head, she kept her eyes shut.
"How dare you, if you won't look at me, I'll beat you!" Albert Meng ruthlessly slapped Olivia Lin across the face a few times.
In the past year, she had been spoiled by Alan Xu. She had never been hit by anyone. Feeling the burning pain on her face, she started to cry.
At that moment, she found herself missing Alan Xu a little.
She knew that if Alan Xu were here, he would definitely protect her and not let anyone harm her.
But what good was it to think about it? Alan Xu was long gone. She had already driven him away!
The pain made her scared. She didn't dare to defy Albert Meng's orders.
But when she finally opened her eyes, she was completely shocked!
A storm of emotions raged within her!
Because the monitor showed that the mysterious host, the man she had forced to divorce her, the man she had always looked down upon - Alan Xu - stood at the center of Tianzi No.1 like the moon being worshipped by the masses!
He greeted many people, exuding an air of nobility and immediately became the center of attention at the entire banquet.
Bert Shen, the high and mighty figure she thought was out of her league, now stood behind him like a servant!
The other billionaires, each worth at least a billion, applauded warmly, welcoming his arrival!
Even the dumbest person could now see that Alan Xu was no waste, no pushover. He was a person of immense power and wealth!
Upon closer look, Alan Xu still wore the red thread she had given him when they got married!
Every scene from the past flashed through her mind like a movie.
Why did Bert Shen suddenly stop helping him!
Why did all the companies sever economic ties with him.
Why did Eric Chu disappear in Jiang City!
Why did others say she offended powerful figures!
Every question she had was answered at that moment. The only reason being that she had forced Alan Xu to divorce her!
And everything she had achieved before, all her success and accomplishments, were, in fact, thanks to Alan Xu's covert support!
When she saw the red thread in Alan Xu's hand, she finally understood!
What else could it be but his love for her!!!
And she had forced away a person who truly loved her.
If she hadn't divorced him, she might also have shared in the admiration of the masses today!
She could have enjoyed endless glory!
Wasn't all of this her lifelong dream?
"But she, on her own, strangled this opportunity, drove it away with her own hands, forfeiting her own happiness...
If she hadn't forced Alan Xu to divorce, hadn't looked down on Alan Xu, she would absolutely not have ended up in this situation today!
Even less, to be insulted by a disgusting old man!
At that moment, Olivia Lin's tears flowed uncontrollably, not because of pain, but because of regret!
She regretted everything she had done!
"Haha, cry, cry. I just love making someone like you cry. The more you cry, the more excited I get!"
Albert Meng had no idea who Alan Xu was. After getting a good look at his face, he withdrew his gaze and watched Olivia Lin cry. He became even more excited; this was exactly what he wanted!
"You wild thing, I'm going to enjoy you now!"
He laughed, unable to contain himself any longer, and eagerly pounced towards Olivia Lin."
