In this luxury store, the Harrises were the only ones who could ask people from the Pearces to give up something
for them.
Sophie was at a loss for words when the store worker spoke to her.
Olivia held Tyler's hand. “Never mind. | don’t like it anyway.”
Hearing Olivia's words, Tyler handed the bag back to the store worker. He said, with a hint of coldness, “Hmm,
let's go hsince you don't like it.”
Linda, carrying shopping bags, made her way to the door.
“Let's get going,” Tyler told Olivia.
He walked to the door, and Olivia followed beside him. Colleen, also laden with shopping bags, said in a muffled
voice, “Tyler, you have to bringback here when they have new stuff.”
As Tyler and Olivia were leaving, Tyler turned to Sophie and said, “I'm sorry, Sophie. | didn’t realize it was yours. |

His manners were impeccable.
Sophie was too intimidated to really accept his apology. “I-It’s fine, Mr. Tyler. If Olivia wants it, she can have it,”
she stuttered.
“There's no need. I'll find her something else,” Tyler assured.
Sophie replied awkwardly, “O-Okay, Mr. Tyler.”
He continued on his way out, with Olivia following.
Sophie stood still, then asked, “D-Did the employee say Olivia is Tyler's wife?”
Jacob clenched his fists, his face grim.
After walking a bit, Tyler glanced at Olivia, who seemed unfazed and calm. He then looked away, thinking she
had gotten over her past issues with Jacob.
Curious, Colleen asked in the car, “Who were they, Tyler?”
“You don’t know them,” Tyler said flatly.
‘Of course | don’t know them. That's why | asked, Colleen thought. But she got the hint that he didn’t want to
talk about it.
Sophie was still stunned, while Jacob’s anger was building up.

She looked up. “What's wrong, Jacob?”
He glanced at her and replied, “Nothing. Let's go.”
But Sophie stopped him. “What happened with Olivia? How did she becTyler's wife? Wasn't his fiancee
supposed to be her sister, Naomi?”
She sensed Jacob knew something.

“Didn’t you know that she fell for him? She got what she wanted and is now his wife. Why else would she leave
me?” Jacob remarked bitterly.
He scoffed, “What a b*tch... It’s just like something an illegitimate child would do. After all, wasn’t her mom a
mistress too?”
Seeing Jacob get more upset, Sophie tried to calm him down. “Jacob... How can you talk about Olivia like that?”
“Are you defending her?”
She held his hand. “No.”
Jacob caressed her cheek. “Soof, you've shownhow beautiful a person can be, unlike her.”
Sophie felt herself drawn to Jacob even more, despite the pain of hearing such things about Olivia, her
best friend.
So, to him, she was beautiful.
When Tyler and Olivia got home, Tyler had a maid take their purchases upstairs.
“Thank you, Tyler,” Olivia said to him.
