CHAPTER 109: 109, ARIANA EVANS ONLY CARES ABOUT HER DAUGHTER’S SAFETY

,

Olivia Zane had always cared about Nathan Moore, while Ariana Evans only cared about her daughter’s safety.

Titus Zane had always kept himself locked in his room, and he even stopped going shopping.

The food delivered by Aunt Liu was eaten only when he felt hungry, and untouched when he wasn’t; often Aunt Liu would bring it in and take it out just as it was.

Additionally, Titus Zane’s alcohol tolerance had increased substantially recently; he had Aunt Liu bring up red wine every day, and several times, she saw Titus Zane sitting on the viewing terrace, drinking, with empty wine bottles scattered all around.

Though Titus Zane always secluded himself in his room, Nathan Moore visited her every night, watched soap operas with Olivia Zane for a while, and then proceeded to Titus Zane’s room, staying there for hours.

And the oxtail that Olivia Zane requested from the kitchen, he actually ate it all and even praised its taste.

As Nathan Moore’s visits to Titus Zane’s room became more frequent, Olivia Zane became increasingly uneasy.

Previously, going to Titus Zane’s room to argue and seeing her powerless to rebut had been somewhat of a solace, but now, no matter what she said, Titus Zane would just look at her indifferently, drinking her wine, and couldn’t be bothered to argue.

At first, Olivia Zane felt victorious, the sensation of conquering someone was exhilarating.

But gradually, she lost interest, stopped going to Titus Zane’s room to find faults, and Titus Zane also never left her room; gradually, Olivia Zane almost forgot about the existence of this third party in the villa.

Whether it was Nathan Moore’s idea or not, Mia Foster and Sophie Foster took turns calling Titus Zane, inviting her out to shop and have coffee, all of which Titus Zane politely declined.

But Sophie was persistent, not hanging up the phone until Titus Zane agreed, leaving her no choice but to agree to spend time with her.

When they met, Sophie insisted on treating Titus Zane to a big meal as thanks for her defending her at the nightclub.

Titus Zane knew, however, that the young girl just wanted an excuse to get her out and take a break.

Green Square, a high-end restaurant in T City, was the first time Titus Zane had dined there.

They chose a corner spot and sat opposite each other.

They ordered, and while waiting for the dishes, Sophie began her endless chatter.

She talked about the interesting events that had happened in the club recently; getting excited, she would slam her hands on the table, laughing uncontrollably.

Titus Zane, out of politeness, had to barely smile and listen to her continue.

The restaurant was crowded with many diners filling the entire hall.

Just as the waiter served the dishes, a commotion started at the entrance of the restaurant.

Curious, Titus Zane also turned her head and saw a woman in fashionable attire, wearing sunglasses, walking into the restaurant surrounded by a crowd of people.

"Wow, it looks like Hazel Rhodes!"

"Ah! It’s Hazel Rhodes! Look, it’s her!"

The restaurant buzzed with exclamations.

Sophie was originally very excited, even standing up preparing to go ask Hazel Rhodes for an autograph.

But upon seeing the woman talking with Hazel Rhodes along the way, she immediately sat back down dismissively snickering.

"Pssh, what’s so great about a minor celebrity!"

Titus Zane, having lived abroad for a long time and mostly watching foreign TV programs, was indifferent to domestic celebrities.

Hearing Sophie say this, she realized that the woman in the center of attention was a celebrity.

She was a rational person and had long passed the age of idolizing stars, so she felt no particular emotion.

However, Sophie’s reaction was somewhat peculiar, initially excited, but as if having seen someone distasteful, she suddenly lost interest.
