"Hmm? Is there sothing else?"
"Could you... could you wish a happy birthday?"
Listening to her cautious request, Thomas felt even more heartbroken.
This girl has been pampered since childhood, getting whatever she wanted, yet now she had to be so careful just to ask for a birthday wish.
Thomas’s heartache was accompanied by even more resentnt towards his parents.
"Olivia, Happy early birthday, big brother will give you a gift on your birthday."
"Mm. Receiving big brother’s birthday wish is enough for , as for the gift, I don’t care about that."
Thomas comforted her on the phone for a few more monts before reluctantly hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Olivia’s previously anxious expression turned into a cold smile of triumph.
She knew Thomas too well, just a few words could stir up trouble between him and the Smith Family.
Although he promised her not to cause trouble, it was clear he was just being dismissive.
He’s bound to go to the parents and raise the issue of the birthday party, if the Smith Family wants peace, they’ll have to agree to his request and throw a similar birthday party for her as well.
If not, one can never assure they won’t do anything reckless and uncontrollable.
The Smith Family values Helen lendy, this newly acknowledged daughter, don’t they?
Unless they want to cause a scene at the birthday party, they can only do as Thomas demands.
By then, at the Smith Family’s daughter’s birthday party, she’ll make sure to see whether she, who has been in the elite circle for thirty years as a false heiress, would appear more graceful, or the real heiress raised in an orphanage with no worldly experience would be more acceptable.
Tossing her phone onto the bed, she leaned back, satisfied.
"Helen lendy, what does it matter if you’re the true Smith Family daughter? As long as I’m Olivia Smith, the Smith Family’s daughter can only be ."
anwhile, as Olivia anticipated, after hanging up the phone, Thomas stord off to find Evelyn Taylor.
At that ti, Evelyn was trimming so plants in the backyard, and seeing him approach with a stern face, she guessed what he was up to, frowning imperceptibly.
"Mom."
Thomas stood in front of Evelyn, calling her with a stiff tone.
"What is it?"
Without raising her head, Evelyn casually asked.
"Is the birthday party in half a month only for Helen lendy?"
Evelyn paused her actions, looked up at his face, and with fake innocence, asked:
"Otherwise, is there anyone else whose birthday requires to throw a party for?"
Thomas was irritated by Evelyn’s question but forced himself to stay calm, saying:
"What about Olivia? She has the sa birthday as Helen lendy. Since you’re throwing a party for Helen, why not also include Olivia? It doesn’t need to be separate, they can share the sa party."
Evelyn was amused by Thomas’s presumptuous demand.
She put down the scissors, looked directly at Thomas’s self-righteous face, and laughed:
"Who is Olivia to the Smith Family? The family money was earned through your father and elder brother’s hard work, and there’s no obligation to throw a birthday party for soone not related."
Thomas was caught off guard by Evelyn’s words, and the anger he had been holding in check was thoroughly unleashed.
"But Olivia lived as your daughter in the Smith Family for thirty years, does thirty years of sentint not outweigh the cost of a birthday party?"
