Although the Sherman family was small and had little influence, information circted within the circle. They only knew that the Sherman family had always had a daughter, but nothing more.
Theni, /ipointing at Cheryl and raising his voice, Simon said, “The true miss of the Sherman family is her.”
Instantly, all eyes were on Cheryl.
“Ah, so she’s from the Sherman family. I thought she was the heiress of some prestigious family. Turns out the Sherman family is such a small one.”
“She just imed she came in with the Evans family. I thought she was something special, but it turns out she’s from the Sherman family.”
“Why are you all so clueless? She’s the true heiress of the Sherman family, which makes her better than that fake one who got kicked out, right?”
“How can you call her a fake? If the Sherman family adopted and then abandoned her, shouldn’t you be criticizing the Sherman family instead? Pfft, they had their own daughter and forgot about their adopted one.”
The guests‘ opinions on the matter were mixed, with Cheryl’s face flushing red and then pale.
She was grateful to Simon for rifying her identity, but at the same time, she thought he was meddling.
Today’s attendees were all from prominent families, and the Sherman family was not impressive at all. Revealing her identity like this was just causing her trouble.
Simon’s gaze finally fell on Olivia, and upon recognizing her face, he clenched his fists again.
‘Was Olivia always this beautiful? No, I like Cheryl now; I have to help Cheryl, Simon thought. ‘Logically, Olivia shouldn’t have been able to get in. How did she manage to enter, and who brought her in?‘
Faced with skepticism and disdain, Olivia sat calmly, leisurely eating her cake.
Inside the hall, the chatter of the crowd continued.
“So she is the adopted daughter of the Sherman family? If she’s an adopted daughter, why is she so down and out? She’s still quite beautiful, but her demeanor and behavior-”
“I actually heard that Mr. Evans had a crush on a girl before. I wonder if it’s this girl?”

“It could very well be. Looking at her, I’d be tempted, too.”
“She even resembles that very popr movie star from twenty years ago.”
Simon was taken aback by the conversations in the crowd.

‘What? How could this be? Shouldn’t they be criticizing her? Why is it turning into a discussion about me?‘ he thought.
Olivia had a disdainful smile on her lips, staring straight at Simon. “Mr. Evans, I heard you had a crush on me?”
Simon was instantly struck, ring at Olivia. “Don’t talk nonsense. I wouldn’t be interested in someone like you.”
Back in middle school, during the age when Simon first started to develop romantic feelings, he had a crush on Olivia.
But that was many years ago. He was still young at the time.
“I remember I rejected you,” Olivia didn’t care whether he admitted it or not. Teasing members of the Evans family had be her new hobby.
“Was I not clear enough, or is there something wrong with your brain that you can’t understand?” she sneered.
Olivia’s eyes sparkled with a provocative air spreading in the atmosphere.
Simon took a deep breath to steady himself. “Stop talking nonsense. I’m the heir of the Evans family, and I wouldn’t like someone like you.”
He said while gazing tenderly at Cheryl, “I only have feelings for the true heiress of the Sherman family.”
‘I can clearly distinguish who is more important between a poor orphan and a Sherman family heiress,’ Simon thought.
The chatter in the crowd grew louder.
Lucas couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to get up and punch this shameless guy.
As Lucas started to rise, Olivia held him back.
“Simon, don’t you have a mirror at home?” Olivia looked up at him.
