Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 8

Olivia was currently contemplating experiment*l data, and her attention was divided, which caused her not to notice Linda’s tone of language. She only heard the question.

“This statement truly does not resemble a compliment, as it seems to carry a sense of mockery,” said Olivia inwardly.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned her gaze toward the direction of Linda, trying to confirm what she had just heard.

“Is she simply asking a question, or is she really mocking me?” Olivia wondered.

“Ms. Taylor.” Linda adjusted her sleeves and resumed her gentle demeanor as she continued, “Please don’t mind me. I was just testing the waters and trying to get a sense of your personality. Teaching requires a method, and it varies from person to person. I’m sure you understand.”

Olivia glanced thoughtfully at Linda without saying a word.

“I saw everything in the dining room just now.” Linda suddenly brought up the previous incident. “Ms. Taylor, do you know why I’m here? The list waiting for me to teach etiquette is fully booked until the year after next, so technically, I shouldn’t have the availability. But Emma pleaded with me to come. We’re good friends, and I couldn’t refuse her request.

“Emma sincerely wants to apologize to you. In private, she has done many things for you that you may not be aware of. As individuals, we must not be too one–sided. It is not fair to judge someone based on only one aspect of their character. It is possible that you, being accustomed to the commoner’s way of life, may not fully understand the customs of high society.

“For a respected lady, the most important thing is to have grace and not be petty!

“Being well–mannered is just scratching the surface. The true valuable. quality lies deep within one’s heart. Being kind and composed. Ms. Taylor, you are too narrow–minded, unable to see others‘ strengths and disregarding their good intentions…”

In the end, it sounded like an admonition.

“A complete stranger who is not even an acquaintance has the audacity to lecture me.

“Man, there really are all kinds of people in the world,” thought Olivia. She touched her forehead and gestured to Linda with her finger. “Have you ever heard a saying?”

Linda furrowed her brows.
