A Sweet Sinister Smile

Stella held Olivia's gaze for a moment before taking her hand, a reassuring smile slowly spreading across her face.

"Your father is going to guess we are behind it and take it out on us but who cares? He has to bring the evidence if he wants to accuse us."

Instantly, the smile reached Olivia's eyes. "Thank you, Mum. You are the best!" she praised, immediately enveloping her in a hug.

"Now, go back to your party and keep your guests entertained." Stella patted her on the back twice and pushed her away gently.

Feeling the success of her own party, Olivia was unable to wait until the end before going to meet her father.

She sat next to him and asked, "Dad, what do you think about my launch party?"

Adam withdrew his gaze from the people partying and turned to her. "It's too early to know what I think."
