Chapter 236: Miranda’s Birthday Celebration
(Olivia’s POV)
After a moment of tenderness, my phone rang with Miranda’s distinctive ringtone. Connor glanced at the screen displaying her name, his ice–blue eyes turning cold as winter frost.
“Hang up,” he said, his Alpha voice carrying unmistakable command.
I reminded him gently, “We are here to attend her birthday party.” Then I answered the phone before he could protest further.
Miranda’s voice bubbled through the speaker, not sounding unhappy at all. “Livvy, don’t stay in the room all the time, come out and play. I also invited Rebecca Frost and Lily. I just saw that they have boarded the ship p>
Relief flooded through me at hearing my friends were here. “Okay, I’ll be right there p>
I hung up the phone and turned to Connor with a smile. “Let’s go out and play. Rebecca and Lily are also
here p>
Being disturbed from our intimate moment, the Alpha’s eyes were clear and cold. There was no expression on
his handsome face as he hummed in acknowledgment.
As Connor walked toward the door, his phone rang. He picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, then said to
me, “Livvy, I’ll take a call. You go find them to play first, and I’ll come find you later p>
I nodded, understanding pack business often required his immediate attention. “Okay p>
Connor answered the phone and walked toward a quiet corner of the ship, his voice already shifting into
Alpha mode.
I walked toward the main deck hall, my heels clicking against the polished floors. The Moonlit Voyager was
even more impressive inside, with crystal chandeliers and elegant furnishings that spoke of Miranda’s family
wealth.
When I arrived at the hall, I looked around but did not see Miranda. Today she was the main character and
had to receive many guests, so she could be anywhere on this massive ship.
Lily and Rebecca Frost were also nowhere to be seen. I took out my phone and was about to call Rebecca to
ask where she was.
Suddenly, someone pushed me hard from behind. I was caught off guard, and wearing high heels, I staggered and my body swayed. I was about to fall when a pair of hands caught me.
“Thank you,” I gasped, steadying myself.
“You’re welcome,” came the gentle reply.
The man’s voice was very familiar. I was slightly stunned and turned to look. It was Adrian Sinclair, looking as elegant as ever in his perfectly tailored suit.
Why was he here? Seeing the doubt in my eyes, Adrian said with a smile, “Miss Blackwood invited me here p>
I It was
I nodded, understanding dawning. It was reasonable that Miranda invited Adrian. She had mentioned inviting

Miranda had entrusted their law firm to handle a case, and Adrian was a partner in the firm. It wasn’t strange that they became familiar after working together.
Whether Adrian came as Miranda’s “friend” or was invited as my friend, it was all reasonable. I nodded slightly and borrowed strength to stand firm.
“Thank you just now,” I said gratefully.
Adrian let go of me and stepped back, maintaining proper distance. His manner was elegant and gentlemanly. “There is no need to be so polite between you and me p>
At this moment, a strange, mocking female voice came from behind. “Oh, isn’t this my fake sister? I really can’t tell that you can board this cruise ship. I really underestimated you p>
I turned around and saw that mean, spiteful face. Victoria Sterling crossed her arms, glanced at Adrian
beside me, then looked at me with contempt in her eyes.
She mocked, “I said, how could a poor ghost like you be able to get on this cruise ship? It turns out you are hooking up with a man p>
My face sank, and I said coldly, “It seems that detention is not enough to make you remember p>
Speaking of detention, Victoria’s face twisted with anger. She had suffered a big loss at the shopping center
last time and had been brooding about it ever since.
If Brandon Cole hadn’t had a strong background and found someone to bail them out, they would still be in
the detention center.
Victoria glared at me and said angrily, “You dare to mention detention? I was worried about not being able to find you to get revenge, but you delivered yourself to my door p>
Adrian looked coldly at Victoria. “This lady, you are an adult and must be responsible for what you say. If you
continue to slander and insult my friend like this, I will pursue your legal responsibility p>
“Oh, I’m so scared~” Victoria rolled her eyes, grinning as she said in a strange tone, “Then go sue me, go
ahead p>
Victoría dared to be so arrogant today because there were several of her friends on this cruise ship. Those friends were all young masters and young ladies from the Shadowmere upper class circle.
They looked down on women like me who they assumed were poor and vain. Moreover, I had a feud with
Brandon, and she knew he wanted revenge.
Besides, she had noticed that Sophie wasn’t here this time, so she dared to be provocative.
There were already people watching the excitement. Victoria was still worried that this matter wasn’t big enough, so she raised her voice and shouted.
“Everyone, come and see! This is the poor and vain woman who offended Young Master Brandon, and she
even dared to board the cruise ship to die p>
Some of the people on the cruise ship were Miranda’s classmates, and some were young masters and young ladies from the same class she met in the study abroad circle.
Miranda’s mother was from Shadowmere, and she used to go there often, so she had many friends in

Shadowmere. But I had never been in contact with anyone from the Shadowmere upper class circle.
Brandon was a notorious second–generation heir in Shadowmere, who was unlearned and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Victoria had hooked up with Brandon with her plastic surgery face and entered the upper–class social circle in Shadowmere. Then she felt superior and often looked down on others, playing the trick of a dog relying on
its master very well.
Many of the onlookers were from Shadowmere, and when they heard Victoria mention Brandon, their eyes
toward me showed sympathy.
Some people whispered among themselves. “It’s a pity for such a beautiful woman. She offended whoever she shouldn’t have, but she had to offend Brandon. Her life is over p>
“Yes, who doesn’t know Brandon? No one who offends him has a good ending p>
“It is said that Brandon pursued an internet celebrity but failed. The girl somehow offended Brandon, and her nude photos were posted all over the internet. Later it was said that the girl committed suicide because of depression p>
“I also heard about it. That incident was quite big at the time, but it was suppressed by the Cole family. The girl’s company claimed she had depression due to work pressure p>
“Many fans who didn’t know the truth were scolding the company, but they didn’t know that the culprit was
Brandon p>
“Looking at Victoria’s appearance, Brandon must have formed a feud with this woman. With Brandon’s nature, he will definitely not let this woman go p>
“It’s so pitiful. A good – looking beauty will definitely have a miserable end p>
At this moment, Brandon Cole appeared, wearing a floral shirt and triangular sunglasses. He walked over with a beauty on each side, one on his left and one on his right.
Victoria’s face turned cold when she saw Brandon walking over with two beauties in his arms.
Brandon walked over, and his face suddenly became gloomy when he saw me. He put away his nonchalant
look and took off his sunglasses.
His eyes flashed with sinister cold light as he stared at me, gritting his teeth and saying word by word, “You are looking for death p>
