Helena subconsciously asked, "Who is this other friend that you speak of?”
Olivia laughed and said, "This friend of mine is a Russian oligarch, Aman Ramovic."
Helena had already learnt that Olivia intended to sell her off to Aman Ramovic from her two attendants. So, when she heard this, she was stunned in her heart.
However, she tried her best to control her emotions, and she pretended to be surprised as she asked, " Olivia, when did you become friends with such a vulgar person?"
Olivia squinted her eyes to size Helena up as she said," Helena, didn’t anyone mention anything about Aman Ramovic to you?”
Helena shook her head blankly and said, "No one has mentioned him. Why?”
When Helena had left Olivia's two subordinates behind and come back alone, Olivia knew that her subordinates identities had already been exposed.
Now, Olivia did not know whether her two subordinates had already told Helena about her plan either.
This was because earlier, Olivia had already authorized her two subordinates to trick Helena into
going to the airport before sending her off to St. Petersburg directly.
But now, based on the puzzled and bewildered look on Helena's face, Olivia thought that Helena might not have learnt about it yet.
So, Olivia then smiled brightly as she said, "Aman Ramovic is quite a good person. He is rich and gentlemanly, but it's just that he's a little older. He is not as crude as people say he is."
Helena pretended to smile as she casually asked, "In m y impression, most of the nobles in Western Europe seem to be quite repulsed by him. Why did you still invite him to come over?"
Helena felt more or less uncomfortable. As for Olivia, who was standing next to Helena, she smiled as soon a s she saw that Aman seemed to have an infatuated look as he stared at Helena. "Mr. Aman Ramovic, this i s my elder sister, Princess Helena."
Aman immediately extended his hand to Helena. As h e was expecting to kiss her hand to greet her, he also spoke in a gentlemanly manner, "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Royal Highness, the honourable Princess Helena!"
Helena did not want to let Aman kiss her hand. She had already guessed Olivia's motive for inviting Aman to come here, and she was disgusted. So, she nodded slightly at him and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr.
Aman Ramovic. My fiance is an Oskian man and so, I will have to observe the Oskian customs. I cannot conform to the hand-kissing greeting. Please forgive m e!"
Aman felt a little awkward, and he forced a laugh. After that, he quickly withdrew his hand and smiled a s he said, "It's okay! It's okay, I understand!"
Olivia glanced at Helena and sneered in her heart,' Helena, why are you still pretending to be so reserved? It won't be long before you're Aman Ramovic’s woman!’
