Chapter 447
Xavier found an elegant Italian restaurant and booked a table on the beach with a night view.
After ordering, he poured her a glass of red wine and shook his glass:
“I didn’t realize you have a daughter, Ms. James.”
Olivia snorted coldly. “There’s a lot you don’t know.”
“Where’s Lyla’s daddy?”
She was silent for a moment before looking up into the night and replying coldly, “Dead.”
Xavier froze slightly. “Is he really dead, or just dead to you?”
“What do you think?” Olivia narrowed her eyes, lowered her head, and took a sip of red wine. “The
wine’s pretty good.”
Xavier laughed dryly and clinked her glass with his. “Alright, forget about it. Anyway, I don’t mind that
you were married, and I don’t mind that you have a kid.

Olivia almost spilled the wine she had just drunk. She looked at the man opposite her in shock. “Mr.
Hemsworth, don’t you think you’re being flirty? We’ve only met a few times.”
However, Xavier looked calm. “Ms. James, do you believe in love at first sight?”
‘Love at first sight…’
Olivia was suddenly lost in thought.
She believed it. She eventually crumbled to pieces for that light, unable to recover.
Therefore, she no longer believed it.
Love at first sight was unreliable, too ethereal, and too unreal. There was no way they could last
forever.
Endless suspicion and sudden betrayal would always confuse people.
After a long time, she said, “Love at first sight is the worst. Over time, you’ll find they’re not who you
thought they were.”
Xavier put down his glass and looked at her. “Have you ever been hurt in love?”
She burst into laughter. “Mr. Hemsworth, you’re asking a divorced woman. What do you think?”
“Was that man last night your ex?”
Olivia’s smile froze as she remembered last night, and her grip on the glass tightened.
Suppressing the panic in her heart, she replied perfunctorily, “The man last night mistook me for
someone else. I’m not who he thought I was.”
“Really?”
Olivia looked up at Xavier warily. “Weren’t you drunk last night? How do you remember this?
“I was drunk, but I woke up in the middle to see you being pestered by a man who called you ‘Liv’.”
With that said, Xavier carefully observed Olivia’s expression before saying with a smile, ” Then I
pretended to be your boyfriend to get rid of him. How could I forget something so important?”

She could not tell which of Xavier’s statements was true and which was not.
“Then I have every reason to suspect that you pretended to be drunk and deliberately didn’t give me
your home address.”
“I’m innocent. I swear I don’t remember
you asking for my address.”
Olivia smiled with mock ease. “Forget about it. But find someone else when you’re drunk.”
Not far away, a tall figure passed by and entered the innermost private room.
They could see Olivia and Xavier through the window.
Instead of ordering, John looked blankly at the two and asked, “How did the investigation go?”
“Phoebe James, 30, is a partner at TO Atelier-mainly focused on custom-made rings. Here’s their
website.”
As he spoke, Wes turned on the tablet and handed it over.
His long fingers swiped randomly before turning off the tablet.
“What about the man?”
“The man’s last name is Hemsworth. He’s probably not anyone famous.”
After a long pause, he frowned and asked, “Wes, do you think she’s Olivia?”
