Chapter 374
The tension in the room hit its boiling point as Alexander and Ethan glared at each other. Richard even stood up and stepped toward Ethan with a threatening look, but Alexander put a hand on his bodyguard’s shoulder to stop him.
“Who is this, young man?” Stanley asked Polin and pointed at Ethan.
Polin frowned at Ethan. “That is my former son–in–law,” she answered in a flat voice.
To keep herself busy, Olivia headed to the fridge and began to create a fruit plate for the guests. As she was gathering the containers of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, Richard came up beside her.
“Can I make a suggestion?” he murmured in a low voice as he helped her carry the fruit over to the counter.
Olivia nodded, but she remained guarded. Unsure what he was going to say.
“Maybe you should send the rest of the guests away,” he said. “The air is thick with…tension.”
Olivia rolled her eyes and didn’t bother to reply. If he thought it was that easy, why didn’t he do it?
“Can you bring the coffee pot over to the table so people can serve themselves?” she asked in a bright voice.
Richard gave her a searching look, but she refused to meet his eyes. “Sure…”
Olivia kept her back turned as she prepared the plate of fruit. Five minutes later, Skylar announced that she and Aidyn must get going. She didn’t think that her son should get involved with Olivia if Alexander and Ethan were also vying for her heart. They were two of the most powerful men in New York.
Aidyn wanted to argue, but he had a surgery in the city scheduled soon anyway.
As they were walking out of the kitchen, Ethan had to open his big mouth.
“Good choice. Olivia wouldn’t want a boyfriend who lets his mommy fight his battles,” he said in
a loud voice.
The room fell silent as everyone looked between Aidyn and Ethan.

Olivia prayed that Aidyn would just be the bigger person and ignore Ethan’s rude comment, but his back became rigid, and he slowly turned around.
Honestly, she couldn’t really blame him for fighting back. She had called out her ex–husband numerous times. There have been many opportunities because he was such a jerk.
“What did you just say to me?” Aidyn demanded and took a step in Ethan’s direction.
