Chapter 117 My Billionaire Missing Lover

• “Why don’t you say something, Great Scientist? Could it be that you can’t afford it?” Ethan stared at Olivia with a sharp gaze. The others began to whisper. “Oh my, don’t tell me she doesn’t want to pay for it?” “I heard them talking just now. They said the dress Olivia is wearing is made from a tailor’s shop. She can’t even afford a proper gown. I bet she doesn’t have much money.” “That’s for sure. Didn’t she make a righteous remark just now? I thought she was some outstanding scientist whose name would go down in history. As it turns out, she couldn’t pay a single cent. How embarrassing.” No matter what they said, Olivia just leaned against the railing quietly with an indifferent expression. Seeing this, Ethan sneered. “Does she think that she could get away by playing dumb? He stroked Emma’s hand to comfort her. Then, he smirked and was about to speak to Olivia. Right then, a dignified and elegant middle–aged woman in a gown made her way through the crowd and walked up to Olivia. “Miss Olivia.” Olivia nodded. “Is he here?”
• The middle–aged woman replied, “Yes, he is.” Just as everyone was wondering what they were talking about, a stylish old man rushed over. After looking at him for a while, they said in shock, “Abel! The world–renowned designer, Mr. Abel Dubois!” It was understandable that people didn’t recognize Abel right away. He used to dress very fashionably whether at a show or a party and had a unique and quirky style that stood out among many celebrities. However, other than the face, the old man in front of him looked nothing like Abel. His hair was flat, looking as if he had just randomly applied hair gel on it. Instead of wearing uncommon outfits as he did in the past, he was clad in an ordinary suit, exuding an air of simplicity, But he was indeed Abel. Seeing the old man, Olivia’s face brightened up a little. She nodded at him and said, “Sorry to trouble you to come all the way here.” Abel waved his hand anxiously. “No, no, you’re being too polite. It’s my honor to be able to assist you. It’s no trouble at all.” As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
• “Gosh, is this really Abel? The insufferably arrogant and confident Abel?” “And what is Olivia’s relationship with him? Why is Abel so respectful to her?” The crowd was confused. Abel took a deep breath and walked to Emma’s side. After examining the gown carefully, he concluded, “It can be fixed.” Then, he turned to look at Olivia. “Miss Olivia, don’t worry. This dress can be fixed.” “Okay, thank you,” Olivia said politely. Afterward, she pointed to the middle–aged woman and said to Abel. “If you need anything, you can talk to Blake.” Ethan did not expect a sudden turn of events. He frowned and questioned Olivia, “What are you doing?” Olivia slowly raised her head. Before she could reply, Abel spoke with annoyance, “Can’t you see? Miss Olivia is trying to compensate for the damage of the gown.” Ethan choked on his words and looked at Abel with hostility. But he kept his manners and asked, “Mr. Dubois, are you paying the compensation on Olivia’s behalf? May I ask what is your relationship?” The crowd’s curiosity was instantly aroused by Ethan’s words.
