Chapter 478

• Julius Adler lacked eloquence, so with a casual remark, I easily defeated him. He paused for a moment and angrily retorted, "Don't be too pleased with yourself."
• What a feeble statement. I chuckled and remained silent.
• Olivia Yarlett sat beside me, and from the corner of my eye, I noticed her slender right hand tightly gripping her fork. The force she exerted was unusual, prompting me to turn my head and look at her. She lowered her eyes as if she hadn't heard our conversation. She appeared unaffected, but her fingertips turned pale. Knowing her well, I could tell that Olivia Yarlett was furious. She wasn't angry at what I said, but rather at her own husband's incompetence. He had only spoken to me for a few moments and had already lost face.
