Chapter 113


    Chapter 113


    After Lindsay ran away, ke’s calm expression instantly vanished from her face. She pursed her lips


    and did not speak. She was so angry that her body trembled slightly. It took her a while to calm down.


    She apologized to Olivia. “It’s my fault. I didn’t teach her well.”


    As ke said this, her gaze was filled with regret, her face full of apology. Olivia did not mind. Instead,


    sheforted ke, saying, “It has nothing to do with you. You’ve only been taking care of her for a


    few years. Besides, you haven’t spent much time together.”


    Upon hearing Olivia’s words, ke felt somewhat relieved, but the guilt still lingered on her face.


    “Ultimately, it’s all my fault. I’m not capable enough.”


    Olivia leaned back, resting on the sofa with her attractive, long legs lifted and casually draped over the


    sofa. She exuded azy charm.


    There was also a hint of mischief in her demeanor.


    She did not say anything. Instead, she raised her gracefully contoured chin slightly, gesturing for Yanis


    tofort ke.


    Upon receiving the order, Yanis hurried forward and sat down before ke, patting her shoulder. He


    said, “It’s not your fault. We know you’re in a difficult position. Lindsay has a special status. Moreover,


    she is older now. She has her own ideas, and it’s not easy to teach her.”


    Olivia had been listening with her head slightly turned. At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but when


    she heard the phrase “special status,” she raised an eyebrow subtly and asked, “What’s her


    background?”


    Yanis quickly exined, “Lindsay’s grandfather is the head of Healix Pharmaceuticals. Although Healix


    Pharmaceuticals is also a part of the Smith family’s business, Mr. Isaac doesn’t hold much stock in it.


    The real power lies in Lindsay’s grandfather’s hands. The Smith family isn’t a conventional family but


    more of an interdependent rtionship. To put it simply, Healix Pharmaceuticals is no longer connected


    to Mr. Isaac. It’s the loyalty and support of the Smith family members that they keep referring to him as


    the family head.”


    ke continued, “Lindsay’s original name was Sally Smith. She was given the name Lindsay to signify


    her role as the right hand to the next head of the Smith family. Healix Pharmaceuticals is influential,


    and with their


    M


    support, your position as the family head would be more secure.


    At this point, ke’s tone turned somber. “Lindsay isn’t a bad person. She’s just been spoiled by the


    family. She’s a bit delicate and has a bad temper. I’m sorry you’ve had to endure this.”


    ke genuinely felt sorry for Olivia. Initially, Olivia didn’t have to concern herself with the affairs of the


    Smith family. She didn’t have to shoulder these responsibilities, However, the Smith family needed her


    to take on their burdens.


    Olivia wasn’t greedy for the wealth of the Smith family. It was that the Smith family desperately needed


    her.


    Without Olivia, the Smith family would be in dire straits.


    In the 21st century, society increasingly valued individualism, power, and freedom. Hence, it was


    exceedingly difficult for the traditional Smith family to survive.


    Most kingdoms in history fell apart after a couple of centuries. A n like the Smith family was even


    more vulnerable.


    As time passed, changes in circumstances affected many things, causing what was once considered


    exclusive or high–status to decline.


    By the time it reached Isaac’s generation, the situation was already one of struggling and being unable


    to muster sufficient strength. The members. of the Smith family were scattered all around the world,


    with a significant number having emigrated abroad.


    The reason they referred to Isaac as the head of the family was twofold. On one hand, it was a matter


    of habit, considering some of the older generations were still present. They inherently respected


    ancestral traditions and felt a sense of belonging to the Smith family.


    On the other hand, Isaac possessed exceptional medical skills. Everyone would eventually fall sick one


    day. Even if someone didn’t experience illness, their family and friends might have. Hence, it would do


    them good to befriend a renowned doctor.


    This was why Isaac insisted that Olivia should study medicine. The Smith family would continue to


    respect and rally around her only if she possessed excellent medical skills. This would unify the Smith


    family and keep them strong.


    After all, when it came to Lindsay’s generation, they were all young and rebellious, seeking freedom


    and unconventionality. They cared little


    Bilbonaire’s Missing Darling


    about traditional family values. They even found it bothersome when rtives visited during family


    gatherings and were reluctant to entertaint them.


    Some of the young people in the family had received education abroad and felt no attachment to the


    Hushe Republic, let alone the Smith family.


    How could these young people possibly support the head of the family?


    Only the sessor who took up the mantle of the Smith family had iparable strength, exceptional


    wisdom, and profound medical skills to subdue these headstrong and unruly young individuals.


    Among all people, only Olivia could achieve all of this.


    Others simply couldn’t.


    In the past, Gillian always felt that her grandfather was favoring Olivia over her and Jarron by intending


    to pass on the leadership of the Smith family directly to Olivia. In reality, it wasn’t Isaac showing


    favoritism, but Gillian and Jarron had inadequate medical skills and couldn’t uphold the Smith family.


    ke advised Olivia to be more patient with Lindsay and gave her guidance. Of course, she would also


    pitch in a little help.


    Olivia leaned against the sofa. She tossed the remains of an eaten apple into the trash bin with an


    indifferent expression. Calmly, she said, “Ms. ke, why make things difficult for yourself? She’s just


    an assistant. You can rece her if you want.”


    Upon hearing this, ke paused for a moment. She anxiously said, “Miss Olivia, Healix


    Pharmaceuticals is very important, and Lindsay isn’t bad. She just has a strong personality.”


    Olivia didn’t pay much heed to ke’s advice. She squinted and seemed to be a little sleepy. She said


    unenthusiastically, “Tell her to leave. I don’t


    want to see her!”


    “Miss Olivia!” Due to her excessive emotion, ke’s voice became somewhat sharp.


    She walked over to Olivia’s side, looking anxious. She said, “I know Lindsay isn’t the best, but you


    need to give her a chance. I believe she’ll improve in the future. The most crucial thing is Healix


    Pharmaceuticals. She…”


    Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Olivia, who yawned and looked tired.


    .


    She had been performing treatment on Isaac these few days, which took a lot of effort. She had not


    slept properly for days.


    It was noon, and the warm sunlight shone on her body, making her feel a little sleepy.


    Olivia remained an indifferent expression. She did not care about the significance of Healix


    Pharmaceuticals mentioned by ke. She also didn’t want to exin much. However, she respected


    ke and didn’t want to see her distressed.


    She exined, “Ms. ke, you need to understand one thing. Healix Pharmaceuticals relies on the


    recipes of the Smith family, not the other way around. There’s no logic in subordinates threatening their


    master.”


    With a touch of coldness in her tone, she continued, “If Healix Pharmaceuticals doesn’t want the


    recipes, the Smith family can just give them to someone else. In this vast country, are there no other


    pharmaceuticalpanies?”


    Both ke and Yanis were shocked and stared at Olivia, unable to speak for a moment, but their


    emotions were churning within them.


    They had underestimated her!


    At this moment, the two looked at Olivia and had only one thought in their minds. Indeed, only Olivia


    could sustain the Smith family. Only she could be so dominant.


    It was because she truly had the capability.


    Manypanies were after the licensing for her neurodrug that had won the Lasker Award. Besides,


    Olivia was still young, and her potential was limitless.


    She wasn’t begging others to gather around the Smith family. She was the shining beacon herself. With


    her presence, the Smith family had a powerful centripetal force because everyone in the Smith family


    knew that following Olivia meant they would have benefits.


    Chapter 114


    Olivia took an afternoon nap. When she woke up to do a bit of reading, she received a phone call from


    Andrew.


    “Olivia, sorry for calling now. Am I disturbing you?” This little guy was exceedingly polite.


    Olivia pressed the phone to her ear and listened to the child’s soft


    breathing. She felt her heart soften. She fiddled with the ballpoint pen between her fingers and spun it


    in a beautiful circle. She asked, “Andrew, why are you calling? Is something the matter?”


    Upon hearing this, Andrew looked up and stared at Daniel.


    Daniel raised his eyebrows and nced at him.


    Seeing that his father had no intention of leaving, Andrew walked to the other side of the room with the


    phone. He stood a little further away and said softly and shyly, “Olivia, I miss you.”


    Before he could finish speaking, a scarlet blush spread over his cheeks. They resembled the gorgeous


    red petals of roses.


    So he missed her, was it?


    Hearing the child’s innocent and sincere words, Olivia felt an


    indescribable sweetness. It was like she had candy in her mouth. The sweet taste spread to her heart.


    She replied, “I miss you too. Can I treat you to something to eat tonight?” “Okay!” Andrew immediately


    agreed. He ran to his father’s side and tugged at his sleeve. He said excitedly, “Olivia invited me to


    dinner.” Daniel nced at his son. With a light turn of his well–defined and slender fingers, he scooped


    the phone from Andrew’s chubby hand into


    his own.


    Then, he ced it by her ear and said calmly, “Olivia.”


    Olivia felt goosebumps all over her as the low, dulcet tones of a man’s voice crept into her ear. His


    voice reminded her of a cello’s tunes.


    She smiled and held the phone with her beautiful fingers. Her fingertips were extremely white under the


    bright light, almost transparent.


    “Yes,” she whispered back.


    Neither of them spoke, but the tension was palpable. It manifested itself. in the thick static thrumming


    through the phone.


    euk Mong Turing


    After a while, Daniel said, “I know a private restaurant. It’s delicious. I’ll pick you upter”


    He lowered his eyes and ced a slender arm on the armrest. His sleeves were slightly rolled up,


    revealing a thin but muscr wrist. The silver watch around it was low–key but appeared to be


    luxurious.


    Alright. Olivia nodded. Her long and slender legs fell to the ground, and her lovely, hooded eyes were


    open in rapt attention.


    The restaurant Daniel was talking about was in a quiet corner of the bustling city. It looked very


    ordinary and did not have many customers. When passing by, one would think that it was an unopened


    restaurant.


    However, the truth was revealed when they entered the restaurant. After passing through a dark


    corridor, they entered the main hall, where loaded dishes sat atop tables.


    Soon, a waiter came over and took Daniel’s coat and Olivia’s bag.


    Olivia looked around and thought this ce was quite interesting. It was perfectly hidden in a corner of


    the city. No one would notice it unless they were looking out for it.


    “Why don’t I see the restaurant’s name anywhere?” Olivia asked. Daniel helped Olivia into her chair.


    When he heard this, he said indifferently. The Smith Cuisine Hall.


    The Smith Cuisine Hall?” Olivia leaned back in her chair, her narrowed in deep thought. “What an


    interesting name.”


    eyes


    Seeing that Olivia was interested, Daniel added, “This restaurant is famous for its medicinal cuisine. It’s


    not an ordinary restaurant and doesn’t receive many customers.”


    Medicinal cuisine. Olivia nodded and soon turned her attention to other things.


    Andrew liked this ce very much. He sat beside Olivia and whispered endlessly to her. He told her


    that he loved the pig trotter soup here very much. It was delicious.


    The dishes here were indeed fantastic, especially the cold cucumber


    soup.


    It tasted fresh and sweet. More uniquely, it was devoid of the usual bitter medicinal taste.


    Just as they were leaving after dinner, the waiter suddenly came over. “Please wait for a moment. The


    head chef will be here in a while.”


    The head chef?


    Billionaire’s Misung Darling


    Olivia was a little surprised. Usually, guests requested a meeting with the head chef if the food was


    good so they could thank him. No head chef had ever taken the initiative to meet the guests.


    Just as she was wondering, a gentle–looking and beautiful woman walked over. The woman was very


    young, only in her twenties. She wore a white chef’s hat, tightly binding her hair. Not a single strand of


    hair fell outside.


    However, her tight outfit did not affect her appearance at all. Instead, she stood out from the crowd in a


    good way.


    The woman did not seem to notice Olivia. Her gaze was fixed on Daniel as if he was the only person in


    the room.


    “Daniel,” the woman greeted with a gentle smile. A gleam appeared in her eyes, and she said


    coquettishly, “Why didn’t you say anything when you decided to drop by today?”


    Andrew knew this woman. As soon as she approached, he called, “Aunt Cynthia!”


    “My dear Andrew.” The woman’s eyes curved into crescents. “Did you miss your Aunt Cynthia?”


    Andrew was an honest child. He shook his head when he heard that. “I’m sorry, Aunt Cynthia. I didn’t


    miss you.”


    The woman was amused. She pointed at him and said, “Andrew, can’t you say something nice to coax


    me for once?”


    Andrew tilted his head in embarrassment and walked to Daniel’s side. “Daddy, I want to go to the


    washroom.”


    Daniel swiveled the chair around and bent his long legs. His gaze was indifferent. “Go and find the


    waiter to help you.”


    “No.” Andrew was shy and grabbed his sleeve tightly.


    Daniel did not have much patience. Just as he was about to lift Andrew and throw him to the waiter, he


    met Olivia’s. gaze.


    Daniel froze. He thought about how he had treated Andrew. When Olivia regained her memory in the


    future, she would be taking revenge for the


    poor guy.


    He stered a gentle expression onto his face and nodded at Olivia before bringing Andrew to the


    washroom.


    Only Olivia and the woman were left at the dining table.


    After Daniel left, the woman slid shamelessly into his seat. She even


    Vibes Aiving farling


    picked up the eup he had used to drink a ss of water. Then, she looked up at Olivia provocatively. “I


    know who you are.”


    Olivia looked at the cup and did not say anything.


    The woman continued, “You’re the missing daughter of the Taylor family, the one who disappeared 18


    years ago. Do you know why Daniel is with you?”


    Before Olivia could answer, the woman continued, “Because you came from a good family and are


    compatible with him. However, you were lost for 18 years and were raised in poverty. That’s why you’re


    timid and don’t understand the games the wealthy y. You’re simple–minded and can take care of


    Andrew.”


    She sighed. “Speaking of which, Daniel is impressive. He found someone sopatible with him. Both


    your background and your identity are wless matches for his.”


    These words were hard to hear. The woman was insinuating that Daniel was with her because she was


    weak and easy to control.


    This person was really good at riling up others and sowing discord. Unfortunately, Olivia did not fall for


    it.


    She lowered her head and took a sip of the cucumber soup. Then, she looked up and said indifferently,


    “This soup isn’t good.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the woman was instantly enraged. She mmed her palm on the


    table, her eyes burning with fire. She stared at Olivia and said in a dangerous tone, “What did you


    say?”


    “Can’t you hear me?” Olivia slowly put down the spoon. Her long eyshes caressed her cheek slightly


    as she wiped his mouth with a napkin. Then, she repeated calmly, “I said that this soup is not good.”


    Her voice was low, but because her voice had an attractive quality and was unusually prating,


    almost all the guests around heard her words. They turned in shock and looked at her in disbelief.


    Someone said that the cucumber soup at the Smith Cuisine Hall was not good!


    This was the signature dish of the Smith Cuisine Hall!


    Chapter 115


    Olivia’s remark was akin to a drop of water hitting a sizzling hot pan of oil. It created an immediate and


    explosive reaction, scattering shock and surprise throughout the room.


    Gasps, murmurs, and startled expressions spread like wildfire through the crowd.


    Diners who frequented the Smith Cuisine Hall were affluent people, including many influential


    businessmen. They held the cuisine in the restaurant in high regard.


    They especially loved the restaurant’s signature dish, seared salmon with herbed couscous, a


    nourishing and delicious dish.


    Some customers consumed the dish to regte their bodies and found it to have excellent effects on


    their health.


    They immediately frowned when they heard Olivia’sment that the dish was not good. However,


    they did not want to say anything unpleasant due to their high standing in society. It was apparent that


    they were displeased. Their expressions conveyed an unspoken consensus of disdain for her.


    The more outspoken customers mocked, “What an ignorant girl. Where did shee from? How dare


    she criticize the food at the Smith Cuisine Hall? What a joke.”


    “She’s just trying to seek attention by pretending to be knowledgeable about the food in the Smith


    Cuisine Hall. She wants to prove that she is different to attain a fleeting moment of fame. She doesn’t


    know anything


    at all.”


    Some of them red at Olivia. “This woman is not bad–looking. She’s probably a mistress. Her sugar


    daddy must have brought her here. She thinks she can behave arrogantly just because she has a rich


    man as backing.”


    “That must be it. Such a woman only knows how to sell her body. She iscking in social manners and


    doesn’t know how to appreciate the food at the Smith Cuisine Hall.”


    Soon, the discussion became more heated. They ignored Olivia and continued toment at the top


    of their voices.


    In the beginning, the head chef, Cynthia Brown, was infuriated at Olivia’s


    ons Missing Darling


    unfavorablements about her food. When she heard what the crowd said, she felt vindicated. A


    self–satisfied smirk appeared on her face.


    She sat back in her chair and tapped her index finger knuckle on the table. The chatter gradually


    subsided as a hush fell over the crowd. Cynthia looked at Olivia with contempt. “Ms. Taylor, is this your


    first time here?”


    Olivia nodded. This was indeed her first time at the Smith Cuisine Hall. Cynthia regarded Olivia with a


    disdainful re. “This must be the first time eating this dish. Am I right?”


    Olivia did not nod. She leaned back in her chair and folded her arms, looking calm.


    Cynthia frowned. She sensed an extraordinary yet familiar aura from Olivia. Her indifference and


    confidence were very simr to Isaac, whom she revered.


    However, she swiftly dismissed that thought. Isaac was a renowned doctor who was well respected by


    the rich and powerful. How could shepare someone like Olivia to him?


    Cynthia shook the thought away and refused to entertain that notion. She must be overthinking.


    grow


    After gathering her thoughts, she looked icily at Olivia and sneered, “It’s no surprise since you are


    raised with a lowly upbringing. You didn’t up in the Taylor family. You’re used to in, home–cooked


    meals. How dare you criticize the delicacies here with your unrefined pte? Who do you think you


    are? Are you fit to eat the food here?”


    She stood up and looked down at Olivia arrogantly. “An unsophisticated like you are not worthy to eat


    the dishes in the Smith Cuisine Hall. Guys, remove all the dishes. Also…”


    She paused and looked at Olivia with a spiteful gleam in her eyes. “Hang a sign at the door stating that


    Olivia Taylor and dogs are not allowed to enter this ce.”


    After saying that, the crowd instantly burst intoughter. Someone even apuded Cynthia. “Chef


    Brown is really clever. That’s right. This is how we should deal with crude people like her. I agree with


    Chef Brown. Going forward, all hotels under my name will bear the same sign as Chef Brown’s


    restaurant.”


    “Me too. I’ll do the same.”


    Bulionaire’s Missing Darling


    “Count me in.”


    The atmosphere in the dining hall became more intense. In just 15 minutes, more than 10 restaurants


    and hotels indicated they would hang the same sign as the Smith Cuisine Hall.


    Just then, Daniel returned to the restaurant. He was holding Andrew’s hand. When he first stepped into


    the restaurant, his eyes widened, as if he had stumbled upon something utterly unexpected and


    baffling.


    He was wearing a meticulously tailored suit of an Italian artisanal brand. The lightweight fabric clung to


    his body, outlining his impable physique. His strong and sensuous body emanated a hint of


    restrained allure.


    The restaurant’s slightly dim lights fell upon his face, entuating the contours of his exquisite


    features. His appearance was peerless, akin to a celestial being.


    Daniel did not say a word. Immediately, everyone’s attention turned to him when he entered the


    restaurant.


    At that moment, the people who rallied together and proimed that their restaurants and hotels would


    bear the same sign as the Smith Cuisine Hall fell into a hushed silence. Their expressions shifted from


    audacity to apprehension in an instant.


    They had forgotten that Daniel was the one who brought Olivia to the


    restaurant.


    Some of the more frightened customers turned pale at the thought of how powerful Daniel was. They


    regretted attacking Olivia with their malicious remarks.


    There were also customers who were unfazed by Daniel’s appearance. They regarded Olivia as some


    lowly mistress and were confident that Daniel would also treat her with disdain when he saw her true


    colors,


    Someone spoke up from the crowd, “Mr. Sullivan, who is this woman you brought here? She’s so


    ignorant and has the cheek to criticize the signature dish of the Smith Cuisine Hall. It’s such a


    disgrace.”


    That person then started recounting what happened to Daniel. He repeatedly made disparaging


    remarks about Olivia, portraying her as a despicable person.


    Daniel looked unperturbed, but his gaze became intense as if he was holding back his emotions. An icy


    aura enveloped him, seemingly on the brink of devouring those around him.


    The more perceptive customers detected the subtle change in Daniel’s expression and curried out of


    the restaurant without taking their coats. They did not want to be consumed by his fury.


    Indeed, Daniel was on the verge of losing his temper. His expression tightened.


    Just as his temper was about to erupt, Olivia quickly held his hand and pulled him to his seat. “Sit


    down. Why are you standing?”


    Daniel turned to look at her, his expression instantly turning gentle.


    Cynthia witnessed how the entire scene yed out and darkened her gaze. She tapped her fingers on


    the table twice to catch Daniel’s attention. “Daniel, your taste in girls seemed to have gotten worse. You


    are mingling with all sorts of people, regardless of their status.”


    She was making an insinuating remark.


    Daniel frowned when he heard what Cynthia said. “Cynthia, there is a limit to my patience. Don’t test


    my patience.”


    A hint of surprise flickered in Cynthia’s eyes, and she immediately changed her attitude. From her


    previous air of haughtyposure, she suddenly looked dejected and sad. There was a tinge of self–


    mockery on her face.


    “Daniel, we’ve known each other for almost ten years. Are you going to condemn me without asking me


    what happened?”


    She lowered her gaze with a trace of choking emotion lingering in her eyes. With a quivering voice, she


    said, “You should know how seriously I take my culinary skills. She humiliated me today by criticizing


    my food. I was just trying to uphold my dignity. If you insist on judging me, so be it. I admit it’s my fault.


    She can say whatever she wants.”


    She then gave Daniel an imploring look before turning around to leave. She walked away, looking


    vulnerable and downcast


    Chapter 116


    Cynthia had perfected this move of retreating in order to advance.


    Not only did she lower her head in front of Daniel and act pitifully to make him feel guilty towards her,


    but she also created an image of herself being infatuated and forbearing in front of everyone.


    As the sessor of the Smith Cuisine Hall, she must master excellent culinary skills, but her character,


    image, and conduct were also of great importance.


    As expected, seeing Cynthia like this, some customers, who were anxious for justice, soon could not


    stand it anymore and criticized Daniel.


    “Are you still a man? How could you treat Chef Brown coldly without forethought? Do you know that it


    was the woman beside you who started it? She was the one who bullied Chef Brown!”


    The man was filled with righteous indignation. As he was a small business owner, not at the level of


    Daniel, he did not know Daniel at all.


    When Cynthia heard this, a trace of smugness shed across her eyes. She lowered her head,


    pretended she was hurt, and was about to dissuade the man. “There’s no need to say anything. It’s all


    my fault. I made Ms.Taylor dissatisfied. I’m not good enough at cooking.”


    As she spoke, she smiled sadly. It seemed like she was self–deprecating and helpless at the same


    time. “I didn’t expect that anyone could actually insult me although I have learned how to cook for 20


    years. My hands. were covered in scars and all nights were spent learning culinary skills. and I won


    manypetition gold awards.”She muttered in a low voice,


    After she finished speaking, her body trembled slightly as if she could not take it anymore.


    In this spacious and antique–looking hall where she stood, her figure looked so slender as if she was a


    delicate and weak flower that couldn’t withstand the violent wind, which made people pity her.


    Finally, no one on the spot could stand it anymore.


    “Mr. Sullivan, you have to be reasonable. Everyone here knows who’s right and who’s wrong. You can’t


    bully Chef Brown just because of your status and her feelings for you!” An old man frowned as he said.


    “A man’s magnanimousness lies in his open mind and clear distinction between right and wrong. We


    don’t have the right to judge who you like


    and we won’t care. But if you don’t know what’s good for you and take advantage of Chef Brown’s


    feelings for you to bully her, such a weak woman, we definitely won’t tolerate it, even if we’re weak and


    can’tpare to the Sullivan family!”


    From the beginning until now, Olivia had been sitting on the chair leisurely. No matter how everyone


    discussed and ndered Daniel, she didn’t react. It was only when she heard the old man’s words that


    she slowly looked up.


    Her clear and light gaze sized up everyone and then she chuckled. Hearing herughter, everyone was


    stunned and furious. This woman was really arrogant. At a time like this, she still dared tough. She


    really did not take everyone seriously.


    The old man was even more determined and he directly questioned. “What are youughing at?”


    Olivia casually ced her left arm on the table and her right elbow on the tabletop. Her fingers casually


    pointed at the camera in the corner of the ceiling. Her voice was faint, which seemed to be mocking,


    but also seemed to be stating the truth.


    “Are you bullying me because you have the advantage in numbers? I didn’t do anything from the very


    beginning. I only said a few words. Don’t tell me that I don’t even have the right to judge the dishes as a


    customer! Or are you bullying people overbearingly and you don’t allow others to have different


    opinions? Don’t allow others to say that the dishes are not good? There are cameras here. They record


    it very clearly.” As she spoke, her gaze wandered slowly and indifferently toward Cynthia.


    Feeling Olivia’s gaze on her, Cynthia felt a chill in her heart for some reason. She suddenly had a bad


    feeling and wanted to stop Olivia from speaking.


    However, before she could stop her, Olivia had already started. “The top chefs did not stop the diners


    from judging the food. They even humbly asked the diners what they were dissatisfied with. I don’t


    know where this Chef Brown came from. She can’t stand a single judgment!”


    Olivia paused for a short while and then her tone suddenly became sharp. Her aurapletely


    changed, as if a thousand pounds were pressing down and a storm wasing.


    She nced at everyone coldly. “Everyone here prides themselves on


    Mishing Daching


    being righteous and is anxious to stand up for justice when I only judged the soup and not the person. I


    didn’t even say anything overboard, nor did I nder Chef Brown herself. But you directly attacked me,


    ndered me, maliciously spected about me, and even distorted the truth. What a strong and


    unyielding righteous person!” She said in a disdainful tone. These words were like a downpour,


    instantly waking everyone up. Whether it was the old man or the man who spoke first, all of them.


    blushed and were extremely embarrassed. After all, Olivia had only said This soup is not good, while


    they, who prided themselves on being righteous, had spouted all kinds of dirty words and even said


    that Olivia and dogs were not allowed to enter.


    How ridiculous!


    Most of them were rational and immediately reflected on themselves when they heard what Olivia had


    said.


    However, some stubborn people refused to admit it.


    “What right do you have to say that the soup made by Chef Brown is not good?” They questioned and


    asked Olivia.


    Olivia was puzzled, her long and narrow phoenix–style eyes widening in confusion, her pupils clear like


    a clear spring.


    She was very puzzled. “This soup is not good itself.” The heat was too high and one of the ingredients


    had been added toote. Besides, there was a little too much salt… It was simply contradictory


    everywhere. Couldn’t they tell?


    The interrogator seemed to have caught Olivia in the act andughed proudly. “Look, you admit it,


    right? You deliberately found trouble with Chef Brown. You’re just a bad person who bullied her. Chef


    Brown was the winner of the golden award in thest National Chef Competition. Seared salmon with


    herbed couscous is the signature dish of the Smith Cuisine Hall. Everyone who has tasted it liked it.


    Moreover, this soup is good for health. You said that the soup is bad for no reason, and you still dare to


    say that it’s not nder!”


    Upon hearing this, Olivia was even more baffled. She frowned as if she was surprised. “This soup is


    indeed not good. Can’t you tell?”


    The interrogator sneered. “Which part did it taste not good? I think you’re making trouble on purpose!”


    Cynthia’s expression was also unchanged. Although she wanted to show weakness in front of Daniel, it


    did not mean that she could tolerate


    others criticizing her culinary skills.


    She learned how to cook when she was a child and was her master’s proudest disciple. She was also


    the future sessor of the Smith Cuisine Hall What right did Olivia have to say that her soup was not


    good?


    At this point, she was already furious. She didn’t care about Daniel that much. She only wanted to


    make things clear with Olivia.


    She took a step forward and looked at Olivia with a serious expression. “It’s not that I didn’t ept the


    criticism. Indeed, my culinary skills can’tpare to my Master’s, but that doesn’t mean that anyone


    can humiliate me and criticize me!”


    Cynthia looked cold, and her tone was firm. Shepletely put away her pretense of being delicate


    and weak and looked straight at Olivia. She just wanted to defend herself.


    If you really think the soup is not good, then point it out, so that I’ll be convinced


    As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd cheered. Everyone was impressed by her boldness and


    felt that this was the style of a famous chef. She was neither servile nor overbearing. She was totally


    upright in her temperament.


    She faced up to the criticism but at the same time deserved praise.


    Chapter 117


    The circumstances changed and everyone stood in favor of Cynthia. They believed that diners were


    qualified to taste and judge the dishes, but they could not judge blindly and spout nonsense. If you felt


    that the soup


    1. it. was not good, you had to give some reasonablements to prove


    Olivia looked up and did not say anything.


    Andrew was still young and did not know these things, but his mind was sharp and smart. He could


    sense that the atmosphere was unusual.


    The little boy jumped off the chair and ran to Olivia. He hugged her arm tofort her.


    Olivia had got tired of all the quarrels today. She was unwilling to get involved at all. She had retorted


    previously only because Cynthia had gone too far.


    But now, backed with her little one’sfort, boundless power suddenly rose in her heart.


    If she still flinched before challenges as usual and was unwilling to defend herself, then others would


    think that she was spouting nonsense.


    Olivia did not care about other people’s opinions at all. Other than a few family members, she did not


    care about anyone else in her life.


    However, things were different now. She cared about Andrew’s thoughts. She did not want to leave a


    bad impression on him.


    Thinking of this, Olivia carried Andrew on herp and asked him softly, “Do you think that seared


    salmon tastes good?”


    Andrew felt that it was delicious, but he was determined to stand on the same side as Olivia.


    Hence, he tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, “It doesn’t taste good. It’s too


    salty.”


    Olivia’s eyes lit up. She did not expect the little boy to be blessed with a sharp gustation.


    “You’re amazing!” Olivia scratched his little nose.


    Andrew was a little shy. He lowered his fair and tender little face, but his heart was blooming at Olivia’s


    praise.


    He was also awesome.


    Since he was so capable, did Sister Olivia like him more?


    Stop it Cynthia sneered. Her gaze was mocking. “Don’t hide behind a kid.


    Olivia ignored Cynthia’s sarcasm. Instead, she hugged Andrew and


    recalled. “Andrew, did you feel good when you took the first sip, but feel sweet after swallowing it all


    Andrew nodded. ‘Yeah. That’s sweet.


    Olivia petted his soft head. “It shouldn’t be just sweet. It should be a faint sweet. It seems to be sweet,


    but actually, there should be a slight difference. Because two of the ingredients were added in the


    wrong order, the taste is wrong as a result.


    Hearing this, Cynthia was shocked. She didn’t watch her cooking. How could she know? That’s


    impossible.


    When she chose to make seared salmon with herbed couscous, she heard that Daniel would be here,


    so she was a little distracted and added the ingredients in the wrong order. At that time, she was


    flustered, but when she took a sipter, the taste was not much different and nobody could not discover


    it. Only then did she feel relieved.


    Even the assistant in the kitchen didn’t know about such an ident. Why Olivia could find it?


    Olivia continued speaking. “There’s still one more ingredient that hasn’t been put in for too long, so it


    tastes a little bit tense. Or the taste would be better.”


    She talked as if she was having a ss with Andrew. “Seared salmon with herbed couscous is reputed


    to be good for health, but health doesn’t mean a bad vor. However, because it’s not cooked properly,


    this dish lost its original taste as it should be.”


    Olivia pointed out every shoring of this dish one after another and made an exnation for the


    causes,


    Andrew’s eyes widened as he listened with earnest attention. He kept eximing. So this dish was not


    a good one.


    However, the color drained from Cynthia’s rubicund face bit by bit. Herplexion was extremely pale,


    and she felt like standing on the verge of à cliff, about to copse.


    Some of the drawbacks that Olivia mentioned were known to her, while others were exactly what she


    was unaware of. Because this was how her


    Paffionirs Missing Darling


    master had taught her, she did not know whether Olivia was right.


    However, there was no denying that this soup was indeed not good enough.


    She lowered her head, too ashamed to speak. She lost her wits and had no idea how to react to


    Olivia’sments.


    Cooking was her life. She would not tolerate any sphemy against this sacred career. She did not


    want to lie, but she did not dare to admit that Olivia was right and embarrass herself in front of Daniel.


    Her heart was torn apart in a tumult of feelings. She didn’t know what to


    say.


    Before she could make a decision, someone spoke up for her. It was an old customer. His tone was


    mocking. “Stop pontificating on cooking as if you’re an expert in cuisine. Seared salmon with herbed


    couscous is an exclusive specialty created by the Smith Cuisine Hall. It’s not avable anywhere else.


    It’s not a normal dish that you can enjoy at other restaurants. Be humble!”


    “That’s right,” the other diners echoed one after another. “We’vee here quite a few times, but we


    didn’t find any difference at all.”


    People’s support gave Cynthia courage.


    This dish was indeed not perfect, but it was not as worthless as what Olivia imed. There were


    several ws that she had never heard of. Her master had always been cooking it in the same way.


    That so–called reasonable faint sweet theory was simply made up by Olivia.


    It was probably because she had a sensitive tongue so she could taste the subtle differences in taste.


    At the thought of this, Cynthia’s heart was filled with boundless courage. She looked at Olivia with a


    faint smile and said in a mocking tone, “I didn’t expect Ms. Taylor to be talented in making up stories


    and telling nonsense in a logical way as if you’re a connoisseur. You almost deceived all of us.”


    Her tone changed as if she could not bear to expose Olivia. “However, it’s a pity. This dish is the Smith


    Cuisine Hall’s secret recipe. Only we know how to cook it. Ms. Taylor doesn’t even know how to make


    it, right? So how dare you to talk bullshit here! Shame on you!.”


    The customers all echoed. “That’s right! Shame on you!”


    “Look at her pretentious face. I have to admit that she’s an amazing actress. If it weren’t for the fact that


    this is a secret dish, we might really have been fooled by her.”


    “Ms. Taylor graduated from the Film Academy, right? She really knows


    how to act.”


    Everyoneughed at Olivia with mockery.


    Cynthia lowered her eyes and flicked her sleeves as if she did not care about Olivia at all. “Since you


    came here with Daniel, as long as you apologize to me today, this matter will be over. I will forget it and


    never pick it up again.”


    “Chef Brown is so magnanimous!” The old man praised.


    Then, he turned to Olivia and frowned. “Ms. Taylor, hurry up and apologize. Chef Brown is a decent


    person. She is giving you a chance. Don’t be stupid. Hurry up and make an apology. There are so


    many people here watching you”


    Olivia did not even look at him. It was as if he was a dog barking on the roadside. Instead, she lowered


    her head and touched Andrew’s head. Her expression was nk. “That’s weird. When did seared


    salmon with herbed couscous be a secret recipe? When did it be the Smith Cuisine Hall’s


    exclusive dish? The recipe was supposed to be open to the public.”


    As soon as she dropped her words, all the customers burst intoughter. Cynthia looked displeased.


    “That’s nonsense! What are you talking about? Stop messing around here.”


    “I’m messing around?” Olivia suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Cynthia with a piercing glint.


    She was on the verge of anger.


    She chuckled. “What a surprise. Seared salmon with herbed couscous, a dish I created, had be


    someone else’s secret!”


    Ming Darligin


    Chapter 118


    These words were like a thunderp that struck the ground, causing everyone present to be shocked.


    Cynthia was flustered. Her fingertips trembled crazily. It took her a while to stabilize her emotions, but


    she still maintained herposure.


    That’s impossible!


    She suddenly looked up. There was a storm starting in her eyes. That’s a violent, surging, and raging


    storm. She was extremely shocked.


    Somehow, Cynthia felt that Olivia was just lying and boasting. However, for some reason, when her


    gaze met her indifferent and cold eyes, her entire body stiffened.


    Olivia was just a lost daughter that the Taylor family had just found. She heard that she was not treated


    well and nobody respected her. Judging from her appearance, merely 200 dors could buy all her


    wearing from head to toe.


    How could such a person have tasted the Smith Cuisine Hall’s signature. dish? As for creating this


    dish, that was even more ridiculous!


    In Cynthia’s eyes, Olivia’s words made her look like an ignorant,cent, and shameless woman.


    But there was a strange aura around her. She was indeed a calm, magnanimous, and noble person.


    It was as if she was born to be dignified, and there was honorable blood flowing in her body.


    It made people instinctively believe her and submit to her.


    Other diners present also had the same feeling. Previously, Olivia was silent. They picked up the side


    of Cynthia.


    But now, Olivia was sitting leisurely on the chair with a rxed and unrestrained posture, with a trace of


    indifference in the corners of her


    eyes.


    They started to believe that such a dignified woman would not embarrass herself through lying.


    Cynthia suddenly became the underdog because the diners‘ opinions were wandering.


    At this moment, a tall man with fierce eyes walked over from the kitchen.


    The moment they saw him, the customers became excited and said,


    This ang baling


    Chef Hopkins! Chef Hopkins is here!”


    Charlie Cynthia also turned to look at the man in a daze. Her voice was low, with a hint of guilt and


    dependence.


    Charlie nodded at Cynthia and patted her shoulderfortingly. Then he turned to Olivia with a


    disgusted expression as if he had seen something dirty.


    He nced at Olivia coldly and did not speak. Instead, he looked at Daniel. His tone sounded


    respectful, but there was dissatisfaction in it “Mr. Sullivan, are you here to make trouble?”


    He didn’t deign to talk to Olivia. “She was just a so–called Ms. Taylor who couldn’t provide any


    resources. The Taylor family did value her at all” thought he


    Charlie was not often in the Smith Cuisine Hall. He had his ownI


    restaurant in Evervale. It was the top of Evervale’s catering industry Ne everyone could book a seat


    there. The customers all came from the upper ss.


    He maintained close connections with all the bigwigs in Evervale so he was well–informed. He knew


    that Samuel and Amelia were sick of this


    ninvited daughter and even wanted to chase her out.


    Olivia was crowned as Ms. Taylor, but that only remained in name. didn’t have any connections or


    wealth. Even an illegitimate child deserved more attention.


    “She must y some dirty tricks to get close to Daniel.


    “Hmph!” thought Charlie as he sneered.


    Men loved beauty. When they were free, they would find some girls to have fun. However, once it


    involved their fundamental benefits their women lost value instantly and would get dumped like mash.


    Cynthia was too silly. Daniel was the one who could have an equat tomunicate. Olivia was just a


    nominal toy for him. If she got ang with her, she would embarrass herself


    He had to talk to Daniel. Charlie did not believe that Dawned


    up with the Smith Cusine Hall merely for this valuri we


    Thinking of this, Charlie became even more confident. At the water he looked at Olivia with despise


    Unexpectedly, Daniel sneered. “Make trouble“*


    His tone was mocking with undagused coldne


    tages Mong ng


    crack a nut with a hammer. It’s just a restaurant. I don’t have to be present to make trouble.


    He was in favor of Olivia.


    Charlie narrowed his eyes as shock appeared on his face. He never expected Daniel to be so


    disrespectful.


    At the thought of this, fear shed across his heart. His thoughts changed. It took him a while to think of


    a solution. He forced a smile and maintained his posture. “So, please obey the rules of the Smith


    Cuisine. Hall and have a match with Cynthia.


    “To be honest, not everyone is qualified topete with Cynthia. However, Ms. Olivia was brought


    here by Mr. Daniel. I think that’s a respect to you.” He paused and turned to everyone present. “And


    hope all the guests can be the witness.”


    After saying that, he walked up to Olivia and extended his arm politely. “Ms. Olivia, please.”


    Olivia was holding her phone and doing something. When she saw Charlieing over, she slowly


    looked up, her innocent eyes filled with confusion. “What should I do?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, everyone immediately burst intoughter.


    “She must be afraid, right?”


    “That’s for sure. She was so eloquent just now and made herself look somebody capable. In the end,


    she cowers at the idea of thepetition. How embarrassing it is!”


    “Yeah! It’s so embarrassing. And she even ys the fool.”


    Upon hearing this, Charlie’s eyes shed with pride. He said in a mocking tone, “Ms. Olivia, are you


    afraid?”


    Afraid of what? Olivia really didn’t know what was going on. She was looking at her phone just now and


    didn’t pay attention to what he said.


    She raised her phone with her fair wrist and exined calmly, “I’m sorry, I was looking at my phone and


    didn’t hear you.”


    “Wow! You’re ying with your phone. That sounds so reasonable. What a decent excuse!” Everyone


    was teasing, “You can y with your phone even on such an asion? Stop it! You’re a liar!”


    Someone even jeered, “You said you’re looking at your phone, so tell me what you’re doine on it


    Olivia lowered her eyes. Her thick eyshes covered the thoughts in ber eves, and she exuded a


    casual and cold murah.


    Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Charlie became impatieN and raised his voice. Ms.


    Olivia, please. Since you’re the one whoes here to cause trouble, don’t drag it out, and don’t give


    us such andcolous excuse! If you were really ying with your phone just now, rity yourself”


    Olivia curled her lips, and a wisp of sharpness flowed out from the corners of her eyes. It seemed to be


    a nonchnt look but was also filled with a prating power.


    She repeated the question. “Do you really want to know?”


    Her casual tone made Charlie feel enormous pressure.


    He frowned and suppressed the frustration in his heart. “Ms. Olivia, don’t stall for time.”


    “Alright.” Olivia sighed softly with a helpless expression. She waved her phone. “You can check


    Twitter’s trendings. The second topic.


    She looked down at her phone and shook her head as she spoke. No, it’s number one now.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, they quickly took out


    their phones and clicked Twitter.


    The old man was old–fashioned and did not know much about these new things. He did not know how


    to do it, so he turned his head and looked at his son’s phone.


    His son opened Twitter and checked the trendings.


    The first was “How to Cook Seared Salmon with Herbed Couscous“!


    Millions of people were engaging in the discussion.


    The third trending topic was “Nutritionist Verified the Recipe“!


    Mixing Datings


    Chapter 119


    “How is that possible?” When Charlie saw the trending topic on Twitter, he was dumbfounded. In an


    instant, the blood seemed draining from his face, leaving only a pale and lifeless countenance.


    He rubbed his eyes twice, unable to believe what he was seeing, but no matter how many times he


    rubbed his eyes, the trending topic remained. Charlie, in disbelief, took a few steps back, his lips


    trembling as he looked at Olivia with a gaze filled with shock.


    Cynthia did not even nce at her phone. Seeing Charlie’s strange expression, she took a step


    forward and looked at the phone in his hand. When her gaze fell upon that line of text, her whole body


    shuddered, including her teeth, which began to chatter incessantly.


    She was not just surprised, she was terrified. She struggled to control her emotions, snatched the


    phone from Charlie’s hand, and with trembling fingers, looked at the trending topic and thements


    below it, shaking her head repeatedly.


    She couldn’t ept all of this. She believed the seared salmon with herbed couscous was a recipe


    written by Isaac. How could Olivia know about it? Hang on! She suddenly seemed to realize something,


    her body trembling like a leaf, and she looked at Olivia in shock.


    Gillian, Jarron, and Olivia… Cynthia suddenly recalled that the three of them all shared the same


    teacher of traditional medicine, Isaac. So, could it be that Olivia was the person Isaac had been talking


    about? In that instant, Cynthia felt her scalp go numb, goosebumps forming on her skin, and her


    temples pulsating in pain. It was over. She was really in trouble if Olivia was the one mentioned by


    Isaac.


    The astonishment of the diners present was no less than that of Charlie and Cynthia. They all stood


    there in a daze, looking at the trending topic in disbelief. One moment they looked up at Olivia; and the


    next, they lowered their heads to check the trending topic. It felt like their worldviews were being


    completely reshaped.


    The seared salmon with herbed couscous was truly created by Olivia. This fact was mind–blowing!


    They were witnessing this incredible scene in person. One excited young man could not contain


    himself and let out a shout as he quickly logged into his Twitter ount, saying, “Oh my god, we’re

    Charlie and Cynthia were nothingpared to her


    Seeing Track, the diners all showed great respect, but the incident they bad experienced was just too


    bizarre, and they all wanted to know the muh,


    The elderly man who had previously stood on Cynthia’s side because he selt that Olivia had gone too


    far in disrupting the restaurant. However, the situation had now evolved to a point where it had


    completely exceeded hisprehension. He did not know whom to believe. But out of respect for


    Tracy, he earnestly asked. “Chef Smith. I’d like to seek your advice. What’s the story behind the closely


    guarded secret, the seared salmon with herbed couscous at the Smith Cuisine Hall?”


    Tracy gently patted Cynthia’s hand to calm her, then turned to the elderly man with a mild and clear


    tone, saying, “It’s not a big deal.” Then, she exined with finesse. “It’s just a storm in a teacup. We’re


    all close to each other.”


    Being close to each other? This statement left everyone dumbfounded. Seeing this. Tracy lightly


    chuckled, walked up to Olivia, and spoke in a gentle and affectionate tone, “You must be Olivia


    mentioned by Isaac Olivia raised her eyebrows, squinted her eyes, and then suddenly smiled,


    addressing Tracy by her first name.


    Tracy was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Olivia to remember her. Thest time she had seen Olivia


    was over a decade ago when thedy before her was only seven or eight years old. It had been so


    long, yet Olivia still had a memory of her. Regardless, the fact that Olivia remembered her indicated


    that there was room for reconciliation.


    Buhoonire’s Missing Darling


    Tracy had been informed about the events at the Smith Cuisine Hall by the restaurant manager on the


    phone, so she knew the details. The diners were even more puzzled when they saw the two parties


    recognizing each other. What was going on? How did they go from arguing to addressing each other so


    warmly?


    Tracy exined to the onlookers, “I apologize for the confusion. This soup is indeed exclusive to the


    Smith Cuisine Hall, and it’s true that Ms. Taylor created it. However, Cynthia has never met Ms. Taylor,


    which led to today’s incident. It’s our fault for not handling the situation properly. This meal is on the


    house, consider it my treat.”


    In a few words, Tracy rified the situation and then invited Olivia to have a private conversation in the


    back room. Olivia leaned back in her chair, holding Andrew’s hand. Her expression was indifferent as


    she casually shook her head, saying, “I won’t trouble you now. I have other matters to attend to.”


    Tracy was taken aback by Olivia’s refusal for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her demeanor and


    smiled warmly and affectionately at Olivia. “Alright, you have your own matters to attend to. Visit us


    often, and we’ll have plenty of time to talk.”


    Olivia nodded, her expression cool, but her gaze softened when she looked at Andrew. “Let’s go,” she


    said, turning to Daniel.


    Throughout this time, Daniel had been quite reserved, with a cold and distant demeanor, as if he did


    not want to get involved. He left the stage to Olivia, but he immediately responded when she needed


    him.


    “Alright.” Daniel stood up and adjusted Olivia’s cor, speaking affectionately, “Ok, Olivia.”


    Afterward, he held Andrew’s hand and turned to Cynthia, his expression as calm as water. “Goodbye,


    Chef Brown.” His stance was firm, and his attitude was clear.


    Cynthia seemed to want to say something but hesitated. However, Daniel acted as if he hadn’t seen


    anything, turning away nonchntly.


    As they walked out of the Smith Cuisine Hall’s door, Olivia suddenly turned her head and nced at


    Daniel, teasingly. “Did you see that just now? She wanted to say something to you but then held back.”


    “What?” Daniel looked innocent as if he did not understand. “What did you say? Did you want to say


    something to me?”


    This man could certainly shift the conversation. If it weren’t for him,


    Cynthia wouldn’t havee looking for trouble. Looking at the man with his striking and attractive face,


    Olivia suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and a suppressed frustration that was difficult to express.


    Hmph, how could one be so attractive like this?


    In the Smith Cuisine Hall.


    After Olivia and the others left, Tracy’s previously gentle and affectionate expression instantly turned


    cold, like a frigid winter wind that chilled the heart and lungs.


    “Chef?” Cynthia was taken aback, unconsciously calling out, “What’s wrong with you?”


    Tracy’s eyes were ice–cold, and her expression was frigid. She took out her phone and dialed a


    number. “Gillian, it’s me. You said the seared salmon with herbed couscous was your exclusive recipe.


    How does Olivia know about it? She even ims to have created it herself?”


    Chapter 120


    When Gillian received a call from Tracy, she was in the middle of seeing a patient.


    Since she was a child, she, Jarron, and Olivia had learned traditional medicine together from Isaac.


    However, when she went to college, she switched to modern medicine and specialized in pediatrics.


    Due to her exceptional medical skills and gentle nature, she was highly regarded by parents and


    children alike and was a well–known pediatrician in the area. At less than 30 years old, she had already


    be an associate chief physician. There were many people who sought her out for


    appointments, and there were often long queues that stretched through the night.


    Gillian reached out and gently touched the soft, rosy cheeks of the 5–year–old girl in front of her. She


    kindly advised the parents for a few moments, issued a medical prescription, and then let them leave.


    After that, she walked to the door and locked it. When she made sure that she was the only one left in


    the room, she spoke, “Tracy, what’s going on?” Gillian’s voice was incredibly gentle, like a clear spring,


    instantly soothing Tracy’s agitation. She didn’t get angry at Tracy’s questions, and she didn’t even


    furrow her brow. Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, it flowed like a gentle breeze, carrying an


    indescribable sense offort. “Don’t be upset for now. Take your time and tell me what’s going on.


    I’m here to listen.”


    Hearing such a gentle voice, Tracy’s anger diminished by half. Then, thinking of Gillian’s tender


    expression, a hint of guilt welled up in her heart. She softened her tone and exined the whole


    situation, including the conflict between Cynthia and Olivia, as well as the current top trending topic on


    Twitter.


    After finishing, Tracy asked curiously, “Wasn’t this recipe created by you? How can Olivia im it as


    her own?”


    Tracy was genuinely puzzled. She believed Gillian deep down, but she couldn’t exin how Olivia


    knew the recipe so well.


    “So Olivia ims she created the recipe?” Gillian asked, her tone tinged with mild surprise./


    “Yes, that’s what she said.” Tracy nodded.


    Hearing this, Gillian sighed, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and


    Chat with her smith peraconality, gentle as war, like a spring turke, Anchetanding, and exceptionalle

    A hunt of madness appeared in Cillian’s eves.


    Ever since she was young, everyone always praised her for having a good personality and being gentle


    and considerate. However, Gillian despised those words the most. She hated it when people praised


    her for having a good temper


    From childhood to adulthood, she and Olivia were by Isane’s side. Everyone who saw them would


    praise Olivia. People praised her for being beautiful, saying she was stuming and that they had never


    seen such a pretty youngdy before. They alsoplimented her for being intelligent, having an


    excellent memory, being quick to learn, filial, imaginative, and capable. People could only see Olivia,


    and Olivia was all they saw.


    However, when faced with Gillian, everyone found themselves at a loss for words, not knowing what to


    compliment. After struggling for a while, all they managed to say was that she had a good


    temperament. Thinking of this, a hint of irony thickered in Gillian’s eyes. How absurd! Even though she


    hated being praised for her good temperament and kindness, she had to put on a gentle facade


    because it was the only way she could surpass Olivia. It she lost her gentleness, she would be truly


    worthless.


    She hung up the phone, walked to the window, and gazed at the blue sky outside, lost in thought.


    A few days ago, Isaac had returned from Evervale, but ke and Yanis did not renum with him. At that


    timent, Gillian had a bad feeling. Jarron went to inquire, and bac said they stayed in Evervale with


    Olivia. At that moment, Gin’s heart sank. She knew her grandfather wanted to


    consumed by a towering rage and unwillingness. She was on the verge of copsing.


    Why? Why? Why?


    Why was her grandfather so biased? What was so good about Olivia? She had even given up studying


    medicine, so why should she inherit the family legacy?


    Gillian did not understand what was wrong with her and Jarron. Both of them had worked hard to study


    medicine and diligently treated patients. They were respectful towards Isaac and obeyed his every


    word, but he could never see them.


    Gillian was the first child Isaac had adopted, and she had spent the most time with him. Therefore, she


    did not know why Isaac chose to leave the family legacy to Olivia in the end. Why was he so biased?


    She could not understand it and she was even more unwilling to ept it. She was determined to


    obtain the family legacy. It was rightfully hers and hers alone! Only she could elevate the family’s


    medical expertise and. make it renowned worldwide.


    Gillian believed her grandfather had grown old and muddle–headed. Otherwise, why should someone


    like Olivia, who did not practice medicine, inherit the Smith family? She would not allow it, and neither


    would other members of the family!


    Chapter 121


    It was the afternoon break. Gillian’s temples throbbed with pain. She wanted to go back to the office to


    rest. Just as she reached the door, Tracy called again.


    At the sight of the familiar phone number, impatience shed across Gillian’s eyes. Her gaze was


    frighteningly cold.


    However, when she grabbed her phone and pressed the answer button, she suddenly became gentle


    and refined.


    “Mrs. Smith?” She asked gently, “Is there anything else?”


    Tracy said over the phone, “I almost forgot. Olivia has revealed the secret recipe of seared salmon with


    herbed couscous. The Smith Cuisine Hall needs a new recipe.”


    Upon hearing this, a slight frown appeared on Gillian’s face. However, her tone was still as gentle as


    before. “Mrs. Smith, wait a few days. I’ll find another one.”


    After getting an answer, Tracy heaved a sigh of relief and said in a much warmer tone, “Sorry to trouble


    you, Gillian. The dividends for this month will be affected by the disclosure of seared salmon with


    herbed couscous. You might not get what you expected. I’ll transfer it to you in a few days.” Gillian said,


    shaking her head, “How can I still have the cheek to ask for this month’s dividends? It’s all my


    negligence that made you and Cynthia suffer. Forget about it.”


    “How is this your fault?” Tracy frowned. “It’s all Olivia’s fault. It’s the Smith family’s recipe. It’s one thing


    that she shamelessly took it for herself, but she actually publicly announced it on Twitter, showing no


    consideration for the Smith family.”


    At this point, Tracy’s tone was filled with anger. She snorted coldly and said, “I’ll have to talk to Mr.


    Smith. It doesn’t matter if he dotes on his granddaughter, but he can’t affect the Smith family’s


    foundation. Although he’s the head of the Smith family, the Smith family doesn’t belong to him alone.”


    Finally, there was something that pleased Gillian. She narrowed her eyes, and with amusement


    gleamed in her eyes, she said in a gentle and


    4/5


    Billionaire’s Missing Darling


    impulsive. She didn’t mean to target you.”


    “You!” Tracy was exasperated. “Why are you still speaking up for her at a time like this? You’re too kind.


    You’ve spoiled your younger siblings to the point that they are unscrupulous. They’re rude and


    inconsiderate.”


    Gillian smiled faintly and said in a helpless tone, “Well, I’m an elder sister, after all.”


    After hanging up the phone, Gillian originally wanted to go back and rest, but since she had promised


    Tracy, she decided to find another medicinal cuisine for her.


    The recipes were all with her grandfather. She didn’t have them with her, so she had to find Isaac.


    Isaac had a special resting room and was having lunch. Seeing Gillianing over, he quickly waved


    and said happily, “Come quickly and eat with me.”


    Ever since Olivia agreed to take over the Smith family, Isaac’s mood had been lifted. Moreover, he had


    gotten over with the thing that he did not send Olivia back to the Taylor family when she was young.


    Without the guilt purged from his mind, his body was much stronger than before. Gillian sat opposite


    Isaac and subconsciously scooped food and soup for Isaac. She picked up some food for him and only


    picked up her bowl when he was almost done eating.


    She picked up a mouthful of food and put it into her mouth. It was filled with bitterness.


    Gillian thought back to the past. She was the most meticulous and considerate one. She took great


    care of her grandfather. She was always there for him when eating and would always fill his bowl with


    food.


    On the other hand, Olivia had never done all of this before. When she ate, she would only focus on


    herself and enjoy all the delicious dishes without leaving anything for Isaac. She always asked Ms.


    ke to make her favorite dishes and did not care about others.


    However, Olivia believed that Isaac only praised Olivia for being a filial girl and turned a blind eye to her


    own efforts.


    Thinking of this, Gillian could not help but sneer in her heart. How was Olivia filial? What did she do?


    Gillian swallowed the food in her mouth ada.


    over her words and said, “Grandpa, do you see the news on Twitter?”


    “What Twitter?” Isaac shook his head. “How would I know that? That’s something you young people


    y. I’m too old to follow it.”


    Gillian put down her te with a serious expression and said, “Grandpa, I have something important to


    tell you.”


    Isaac nodded. “Go ahead.”


    Gillian nced at Isaac and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Grandpa, you promise me you


    won’t be angry if I tell you. You can’t be angry.”


    Did something happen?


    With a nervous expression, Isaac stared at Gillian and nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t be angry.”


    Gillian frowned and looked worried. “It’s about Olivia. She made the Smith family’s recipe public.”


    Isaac was stunned for a moment before he immediately refuted in a firm tone, “Impossible, absolutely


    impossible!”


    Gillian was taken aback. She did not expect her grandfather to trust Olivia so much. He was still


    protecting her at this time!


    That was the Smith family’s secret recipe. It didn’t matter if the Smith family used it themselves, but


    Olivia made it public regardless of everything. Did she think that she owned the Smith family?


    Moreover, it was an indisputable fact that Olivia revealed the Smith family’s secret recipe, but Isaac


    was actually protecting her!


    Resentment surged in Gillian’s heart. She could barely suppress and anger in her heart as she roared


    at Isaac.


    She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips sinking into her flesh, barely managing to maintain her


    rationality.


    Heh…


    Gillian took out her phone, opened Twitter, and handed it to Isaac. Her eyes were filled with the joy of


    revenge.


    She could not wait to see Isaac’s disappointed and angry expression.


    Didn’t he favor Olivia? Since he trusted her and was so protective of her, Gillian would show the


    evidence in front of him and see how he would continue to protect her.


    ‘Grandpa.” Gillian endured theplicated feelings in her heart and pointed at the trending topic. “See,


    that’s it.”


    Isaac put on his reading sses and held his phone with both hands. He took a closer look at it. Upon


    seeing the words ‘seared salmon with herbed couscous, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief.


    “This, he exined. “This isn’t the Smith family’s recipe.”


    Then, he looked up at Gillian in confusion and exined, “This is a medicinal cuisine that Olivia figured


    out herself. Have you forgotten that she figured it out because you were weak? This is Olivia’s own


    recipe.” Isaac had thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be seared salmon with herbed


    couscous.


    Isaac heaved a sigh of relief. He was freaked out just now.


    Although Olivia was the future head of the Smith family, he had never given the Smith family’s secret


    recipe to Olivia. How could she know? Sure enough, anxiety made one lose his mind. He didn’t even


    think of this and was actually on tenterhooks.


    Isaac reflected on himself, thinking that he shouldn’t have doubted Olivia. Olivia was able toe up


    with such an amazing recipe as seared salmon with herbed couscous at the age of 12 and make the


    food and recipe work so well. How was it possible that she coveted the Smith family’s recipe? The


    Smith family’s recipes were all iplete and could not be used. They had to be verified one by one


    before they could be used.


    Unlike Isaac, who was rxed, Gillian was overwhelmed by hatred.


    At this moment, she was filled with anger and couldn’t wait to bite Olivia to death. She even had the


    itch to grab Isaac’s shoulder and shake him hard to wake him up.


    He was too biased! Gillian used Isaac of favoritism inwardly.


    That was the recipe of the Smith family. Even at a time like this, Isaac was still protecting Olivia. He


    remained calm when hearing that Olivia made the recipe public, saying that she was the one who


    created the


    prescription.


    Why!


    Gillian’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Anger was surging over her.


    Chapter 122


    Olivia was sitting in the car, and the calm and rxed expression instantly disappeared, reced by


    coldness.


    Daniel was driving in front. Andrew was sitting on a child’s safety seat with his head lowered. He had


    fallen asleep.


    The child was energetic, but he needed to replenish his energy. After ying for the entire afternoon,


    he was already exhausted, so he quickly fell into a deep sleep.


    Hence, no one noticed Olivia’s expression.


    She propped her chin on her hand and leaned against the back of the seat. Her posture waszy and


    casual as if it was casual, but her light amber eyes wereplicated and unreadable.


    She looked straight out of the window, thinking about something. Daniel was in the front driving. As he


    held the steering wheel, he observed Olivia’s expression through the rearview mirror.


    His expression was calm, and his movements were elegant and practiced. Seeing that Olivia didn’t look


    well, he was not in a hurry to ask. Instead, he waited quietly for a moment. When she turned her head,


    he asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”


    Olivia looked up indifferently and remained silent.


    Upon seeing this, Daniel gave a smile. His beautiful eyes curved like the crescent moon in the quiet


    night sky.


    Tapping his index finger on the steering wheel, he slowed down and parked the car by the side of the


    road. When he spoke again, his tone was a little more serious. “You were not yourself at the Smith


    Cuisine Hall just


    now.”


    Daniel understood Olivia. She was not someone who usually rocked the boat. Even if Cynthia provoked


    her, Olivia would not make the recipe public rashly.


    This didn’t seem like something that Olivia would do.


    A few years ago, when they first met, Olivia was only 18 years old. She was vivacious as a young girl


    and did not have much money on her, obliged to work part–time for a living.


    15


    But even so, she was still noble and extraordinary.


    She was like an aristocrat who had wandered among themoners, carrying with her an innate pride


    and nobility.


    ording to her original personality, if Cynthia messed with her, she would not even give Cynthia a


    look. She would let Ms. ke and Mr. Yanis deal with it.


    It was just like how ancient emperors dealt with things.


    There had long been courtiers and guards blocking those who caused trouble. They would not let those


    troublemakers have the chance to appear and be an eyesore to the emperor.


    It was just Cynthia. It was not worth Olivia’s time and effort.


    She thought nothing of someone like Cynthia.


    However, it was very strange that Olivia confronted Cynthia today in the Smith Cuisine Hall.


    Unexpectedly, Daniel could sense something wrong with her. Olivia turned her eyes and looked over.


    Then, she lowered her eyes and raised her hand to support her forehead. She let out an imperceptible


    sigh, seemingly tired.


    After a long while, she said, “That seared salmon with herbed couscous is the recipe I specially made


    for Gillian. It is a medicinal cuisine that works with food and can treat illnesses and conserve health.”


    At this point, she couldn’t help but chuckle and say in a self–deprecating tone, “It took me three years


    to work it out and the draft was revised several times before it was finalized. I tried it myself, and my


    stomach was almost destroyed because of it. I didn’t expect it to end up like this…”


    She treated Gillian as her biological sister.


    Olivia wanted to bond with her. She cared about her and was worried about her health and her results.


    She would give up almost anything Gillian wanted.


    As a result, Olivia was pushed off the cliff by Gillian, whom she treated as her family!


    The moment Olivia fell off the cliff, a trace of confusion came into her eyes.


    She was puzzled. If Gillian wanted the Smith family and wanted the


    125


    hospital, she could just tell Olivia about it and Olivia would give them to her. Why did Gillian go through


    so much trouble to trick her to the top of the mountain and push her down?


    It was onlyter that Olivia slowly grew up and began to look at her rtionship with Gillian from an


    objective perspective that she understood the reason behind Gillian’s actions.


    It was all because of her jealousy!


    The moment she was pushed off the mountain peak, Gillian roared, “Why did Grandpa only pass on


    miraculous treatments of the Smith family to you? Why?”


    Why?


    Olivia’s eyes flickered. She suddenly felt that it was ridiculous.


    The so–called miraculous treatments of the Smith family were something the three of them had learned


    together. They had memorized the acupuncture points when they were young and personally practiced


    them when they were in their teens. Each of them had a set of silver needles. However, in the end,


    Olivia was the only one who mastered it. Gillian imed that Isaac was biased and did not pass on her


    miraculous treatments of the Smith family, but the truth was that Isaac had taught her long ago.


    It wasn’t that Isaac didn’t want to teach them, but they couldn’t learn it at all!


    Because Olivia was the only one who had mastered miraculous


    treatments of the Smith family, Isaac had the idea of handing the Smith family to her. Before this, he


    doted on Gillian more than her and valued Jarron more.


    The sadness onlysted for a moment. Olivia quickly regained herposure. The unhappy things in


    the past wouldn’t cast a shadow on her. It was just that she felt a little bitter when she thought about it


    asionally.


    Olivia turned to Andrew.


    The little guy was sleeping soundly. His face was pink and tender. When he closed his eyes, his


    eyshes were thick and curly.


    Andrew seemed to be dreaming. His red and moist little mouth smacked, and then he muttered softly,


    “Olivia, you eat, you eat too.”

    He was actually thanking abour Oüvua even in his dreams.


    Olivia was shocked for a moment. Then, her heart softened and she felt a wave of happiness flooding


    her

    Perhaps Olivia gave too much attention to Andrew which made Daniel a little dissatisfied. Hu muttered


    and then uttered a cry of astonishment. Olivia subconsciously turned around. There was a hint of


    urgency in her eyes as she asked, “What’s wrong?*


    Daniel said in a pitiful tone, “There’s something in my eyes. It hurts.” As he spoke, he turned his head


    around and faced Olivia.


    Olivia leaned over and gently pressed his lower eyelids with her fingertips. She then blew on them and


    asked with concern, “Does it still hurt?”


    “Yes” The man sounded aggrieved. “Blow on them again.”


    Olivia lowered her head and carefully examined Daniel’s eyes, where she did not find any sand or


    eyshes. She blew on them a few times, but it didn’t work Daniel kept shouting


    “Could it be that something has entered your eyes? Olivia frowned. With a worried look, she suggested.


    “Let’s go to the hospital.”


    Daniel shook his head and said with certainty. “There is something in my eyes. I can feel it Look


    carefully and get closer…”


    He said thest few words in a whisper, carrying a hint of romance, which was so tempting


    Olivia began to see the light. She looked up suspiciously with a probing gaze and said, ‘Are you. Umm*


    Before she could finish speaking, the back of her head was suddenly grabbed by arge hand. Before


    she could react, the handsome face in front of her suddenly erged, and then her lips felt hos


    Daniel’s lips covered Olivia’s and he kissed her lightly before moving


    away


    He was actually thinking about Olivia even in his dreams.


    Olivia was shocked for a moment. Then, her heart softened and she felt a wave of happiness flooding


    her.


    This was a wonderful and magical feeling!


    There was such a little cutie in the world, who liked her, was attached to her, and was thinking about


    her.


    Looking at the little guy’s sleeping face, Olivia felt so sweet as if a gust of happiness swept through her.


    Perhaps Olivia gave too much attention to Andrew which made Daniel a little dissatisfied. Hu muttered

    away.

    He leaned over. His voice was low and hoarse as if he was suppressing the heat in his body.


    “Why weren’t you looking at me? Am I not as good–looking as Andrew, huh?”


    Chapter 123


    Olivia was stunned for a moment before her face instantly turned blushed.


    The space was so close that almost their noses would collide. The ambiance rose up and crackled like


    a matchstick that would burn with a stoke.


    It could get ignited right away.


    A sense of soft numbness spread from her lips to her waist. Olivia’s entire body went limp.


    At this moment, Daniel was like a prisoner who had broken free. His eyes were ming with desire as


    he looked at Olivia with a gaze that wanted to devour her.


    It had been five years, 1,825 days, 43,800 hours, 2,628,000 minutes, and 1,576,800,000 seconds!


    Daniel couldn’t imagine how he endured such a long time. It was like an


    eon.


    The longing had long been carved into his bones. It was deep and seeped into his bones. With every


    breath he took, the longing increased.


    If it weren’t for the fact Andrew was here, he would have stripped her down and surrounded her body.


    Only by fusing her into his bones and blood would the endless ck space in his heart be filled.


    Olivia looked up unintentionally and saw Daniel’s eyes. She was shocked! His eyes were filled with


    thirst, hope, and longing. They were overflowing with desire.


    “Daniel, what’s wrong with you?”


    Olivia looked up. For the first time, confusion appeared in her calm eyes for the first time. At the same


    time, her heart kept beating.


    The affection in Daniel’s eyes was too strong, so emotional that she was afraid that she could not bear


    it.


    She ced her fingertips on Daniel’s cheek. Olivia wanted to say something, but at that moment, her


    phone suddenly rang.


    Billionaire’s Missing Darling


    The sudden ringing brought Daniel back to his senses. He closed his eyes and suppressed his


    tumultuous feelings. He warned himself that it was not the time yet.


    Livy had already forgotten about him. He had to take it slow and not scare her.


    Daniel regained his rationality and turned around, leaning back in his seat dejectedly. He pursed his


    lips and chuckled. It seemed he would lose his wits and get out of control before this woman.


    Daniel heaved a sigh of relief. When he opened his eyes again, the vision had already regained rity.


    He had already waited for five years. There was no need to rush. He was willing to wait for Livy to fall in


    love with him again!


    The call was from Amelia. Olivia looked at the caller ID. She frowned slightly and picked it up. “Hello?”


    “Olivia?” Amelia’s voice was a little nervous. Her tone was slightly trembling.


    “Yes. Olivia’s voice was cold. “What’s going on?”


    Amelia did not seem to know how to talk to her. She didn’t have the demeanor of a noblewoman,


    speaking fast and anxiously as if somebody was holding a knife against her neck. “This weekend is


    your grandfather’s 80th birthday.”


    “I got it.” Olivia nodded. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”


    Before she could continue, the other side had already left.


    Amelia was stunned for a moment. She was holding her phone and stared at it in a daze.


    Maddie happened to push the door open and enter at this moment. She was holding two cups of


    coffee.


    Seeing Amelia staring at her phone in a daze, a shaft of light shed across her eyes. Maddie asked,


    “Have you called Olivia?”


    Amelia nodded, looking like she was out of her mind.


    Maddie took a sip of coffee before continuing to ask, “What did she say? Is sheing or not?”


    Amelia frowned and said in an uncertain tone, “I’m not sure. She only said that she knew it. She didn’t


    say whether she wasing or not,”


    -5 vouchers


    “She must be angry with you,” Maddie said firmly. “It’s Friday today. Dad’s birthday is in two days. Why


    didn’t you tell her earlier? Now she doesn’t have time to prepare a gift.”


    Seeing that her sister was ming her, Amelia looked aggrieved and defended herself. “I forgot. I didn’t


    do it on purpose.”


    “Oh my god, how could you say that?” Maddie was so angry that her chest. heaved. “Don’t you know


    how to be a mother? If you cared about her a little, you wouldn’t have forgotten such an important


    thing. Why didn’t you forget to tell Emma?”


    Speaking of Emma, Maddie’s tone became more serious. “You have to remember that Olivia is your


    real daughter. Emma is adopted.”


    “Alright, alright. I know.” Amelia sounded impatient. She hated such a banal theory about blood.


    So what if Emma was an adopted daughter? To Amelia, Emma was her biological daughter!


    Maddie was upset about Amelia’s impatient expression. Seeing that she was stubborn and impervious


    to other voices, she sighed and softened her tone. “I’m not saying that Emma is not a good girl. I also


    love Emma very much. Indeed, all these years, Emma has always been staying with you. But you can’t


    choose between your kids. Even if you can’t treat them. equally, at least you have to act like that.


    “Olivia has been adrift outside without a family for nearly 20 years. She suffered a lot. As her mother,


    you have to take care of her, understand her, and educate her,” Maddie advised earnestly.


    “I know, I know. I want to care about her.” Speaking of this, Amelia still felt aggrieved. At first, she really


    wanted to treat Olivia well. She wanted to find an etiquette mentor for her, give her some shares, and


    pick up a good husband for her.


    However, Olivia did not appreciate her efforts at all. Sheined, “Maddie, you don’t know her. She


    is a strange girl. She’s conceited and inferior. She’s not obedient at all. She takes advantage of her


    beauty to hang around with Ethan and seduce the man Emma likes. Now, she’s with Daniel. That’s


    unbelievable. What a shame to our family.”


    “What’s going on?” Maddie frowned.


    Amelia sighed. “To tell you the truth, I do have a barrier against Olivia. Previously, because I


    misunderstood that she harmed Emma before, I


    wanted to teach her a lesson. However, when I found out that she had been learning the violin and


    writing songs, I changed my mind. I tried to ease the rtionship with her and find a good marriage for


    her.”


    “Then do it,” Maddie said.


    “Just do it? You thought it was an easy job to find a man for her?” Disdain shed across Amelia’s


    eyes.


    She believed that Olivia had no self–respect. She seduced Ethan, then Ryan, and now Daniel. This


    was not what a decentdy would do.


    Every new man was in a higher status than the previous one. It was obvious that Olivia was utterly a


    naughty gold digger. She was greedy and overreached herself.


    She was an ugly duckling who was dreaming about bing a swan one day. And the way she


    realized her dream was through targeting a better


    man.


    Did she know who Daniel was? Even if Olivia had been raised in the Taylor family and had never been


    lost since she was young, she still couldn’t deserve to be Mr. Sullivan, not to mention the current Olivia


    in reality.


    Amelia knew what his father–inw was up to. They did not expect Olivia to marry into the Sullivan


    family properly. They just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to build a rtionship with


    Daniel, with the Sullivan family.


    As for Olivia, no one cared about her feelings or future, not to mention. whether Daniel would treat her


    well.


    Amelia was confident that she was a good mother. Anyway, normal families would abandon their


    daughter if she behaved like Olivia. But Amelia was still trying to find a decent husband for her.


    Thinking of this, Amelia suddenly said, “Maddie, do you still remember Mr. Sampson, that painter?”


    It took Maddie a moment to realize that Amelia wanted Olivia to marry Mr. Sampson.


    She immediately frowned. “That’s not appropriate, right? Mr. Sampson has already been divorced three


    times, and he’s also ten years older.” Amelia felt that it was a very suitable match. The age was not a


    problem at all as long as he could treat her well. As for divorce, Olivia was not a clean


    sheet, too. She was also hanging around with three men. That’s perfect. Most importantly, Mr.


    Sampson was a famous painter. He needed to walk around the world to sketch, so he could take Olivia


    away.


    Amelia did not know how to get along with this daughter. Anyway, she did not like her either. Out of


    sight, out of mind.


    Chapter 124


    After Maddie left, Emma immediately went to Amelia’s room and asked tentatively, “Mom, why is Aunt


    here? What’s going on?”


    Amelia was still in a daze. She was stunned for a moment before replying, “It’s about your


    grandfather’s birthday. I forgot to tell Olivia. She came to remind me of that.”


    No surprise!


    Emma’s eyes shed with malice. her fingertips dug into her palm tightly, barely maintaining her


    expression to prevent herself from losing herposure.


    She lowered her head to hide her eyes so that Amelia would not notice anything wrong.


    All these years, she had tried her best to please Amelia and the Green family. She tried her best to be


    a considerate daughter and treat Amelia as her biological mother and the Green family as her family. In


    the end, she was still inferior to Olivia.


    Why! It’s not fair!


    Emma was indignant. Her dark eyes were filled with resentment. She had done so much. She cared


    about Amelia and her grandparents. She called them every week. She gave them gifts every festival


    and often visited them.


    But this was how they treated her! After more than ten years of living together, she still couldn’t hold a


    candle to Olivia, a woman whom nobody met even now!


    Emma’s heart was filled with indignance. She hated the heartless Green family and the appearance of


    Olivia.


    She felt that her sincerity for so many years had been in vain. The Green family was simply a bunch of


    jerks who were not worth her caring.


    It took almost all of her willpower to suppress the anger in her heart. She forced a smile with all her


    energy and said in a guilty tone, “Mom, it’s all my fault. I should have reminded you earlier.”


    “Don’t say that! My girl, how can I me you? It’s my mistake. I have a bad memory now. It’s not your


    problem.” Amelia patted Emma’s hand


    and thought to herself, “The daughter living together is an angel who’s better.”


    Emma’s eyes were dark. She had expected that Amelia would belittle Olivia and refuse her toe.


    But she only said that she had a bad memory.


    It turned out that she really nned to bring Olivia to the birthday banquet.


    After all, she was not her daughter and nobody could deny this fact. Amelia did not care about her at


    all. It’s her grandfather’s birthday, so Ethan would definitely attend. If he met Olivia, he must discover


    the truth that she set Olivia up.


    Thinking of this, Emma panicked. She could not let Ethan know that she had framed Olivia.


    “Mom.” Emma seemed to be implying something. “Is Oliviaing? It feels like she doesn’t have any


    affection for the Taylor family or the Green family?”


    Amelia frowned. That girl was indeed indifferent and did not have any kinship in her heart. If not for


    Liam’s call, she would not havee to the Taylor family.


    As for the Green family, she had not even mentioned a visit. It had been almost half a year since she


    returned, but she had not even seen the Green family in person.


    The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. Amelia’s tone was a little dissatisfied.


    “Forget it. I don’t care.”


    Seeing this, Emma’s mood became brighter. She leaned closer to Amelia and hugged her arm. “Mom,


    it’s Olivia’s fault for noting, but we have to be well–prepared so that other families won’t


    misunderstand us.”


    She talked like she cared about Olivia, “She probably doesn’t have much. money and never knows a


    designer. It’s Grandpa’s birthday two dayster. She definitely won’t have time to prepare a good dress.


    I still have a few gowns. Why don’t I give them to her?”


    “You’re so kind, my good girl.” Amelia felt warm. The more she looked at Emma, the more she loved


    this considerate daughter. She raised her hand and scratched her nose. “I know you’re a good girl, but


    your gowns are all haute couture by international designers. They haven’t been worn yet. They’re


    brand new. It’s a waste to let her wear them.”

    At this point, Amelia paused for a moment. When she thought of the scene where Olivia was wearing a


    white T–shirt and ck pants, she felt disgusted. “A good dress needs a good owner. Olivia doesn’t


    know fashion. at all. It’s a waste for her to wear those custom–made gowns. Why don’t you keep them


    yourself?”


    “But what about Olivia?” Emma sounded worried. “I don’t think she has a suitable gown. If she doesn’t


    have one, she won’t even be able to enter the banquet. That would be so embarrassing!”


    An image conjured up in Amelia’s mind. As the master’s granddaughter, Olivia would get blocked


    outside because she did not have a suitable


    gown.


    That’s a joke. No, she couldn’t let that happen.


    Amelia said, “You should have some old clothes over there. Let her wear your old gown.”


    “Alright.” Emma nodded. “I’ll get the servants to pack up a few more clothes for her selection.”


    “She must be overjoyed!” Ameliaughed. “Your wardrobe is just like a treasure ind. She probably


    has never seen such expensive clothes before.”


    With that, Amelia made a call to Olivia.


    Olivia had already returned home. It was not the apartment near the school, but the Smith family’s


    mansion in Evervale.


    Since she had decided to take over the Smith family, she should learn to handle its businesses.


    The Smith family’s mansion had been left idle for many years. Only some maids and nannies had been


    living here to watch over it. Now that the new owner had arrived, the mansion seemed to get


    revitalized, and all the servants were smiling at her arrival.


    Olivia was reclining on the sofa with her eyes lowered. Her posture waszy. She was enjoying a rare


    moment of leisure.


    In the spacious cloakroom, ke was leading the servants to pick out gowns for Olivia. These clothes


    were all newly made by the Smith family’s workshop. These handmade clothes were the epitome of


    exquisite skills and the current modern youthful style.


    “Miss Olivia, how about this one? Do you like it?” ke picked out a


    it vouchers


    modified ivory gown, with dark white stripes embroidered on it. At first look, people would think that it


    was a pure–colored gown. When they got closer, they would discover the amazing embroidery.


    This gown was madest year. It took five top embroiderers three years toplete the work.


    Such a gown could no longer be called a dress, but a work of art, a masterpiece, and a priceless


    treasure.


    A few years ago, the Sotheby’s had auctioned off a gown that cost an astronomical sum of 550


    thousand dors. Half a million dors just for a gown! That gown was made by three of those five top


    embroiderers. Olivia leaned against the sofa. When she heard this, she causally raised her eyelids and


    said expressionlessly, “It’s too simple.”


    “What about this one?” ke picked out another one.


    Olivia bent down. It was hard to tell if she was happy or angry. “Not good.” “Look at this.” ke chose


    more than ten gowns. Some were traditional designs and some met current fashion trends. Every one


    of these clothes could make Evervale’s socialites scream in surprise.


    However, in Olivia’s eyes, these were just ordinary clothes. She had seen these things quite often


    when she was young. Not a piece of them could attract her eyes.


    At this moment, Olivia received a call from Amelia.


    Amelia’s tone was colored by condescension. You don’t have any suitable gowns over there, right?


    Emma has a few old clothes. Come here and take themter. They are all good gowns. You must be


    spoiled for choices when you see them. Remember, just take one. Emma is a kind girl and this is her


    idea. She shares them with you but you can’t go too far Good gowns? That’s funny!


    Olivia held the phone in one hand and fiddled with the ivory gown with the other. she suddenly


    chuckled. Thank you for your kindness, but t don’t need it.”


    Without waiting for Amelia’s response, she hung up right


    Chapter 125


    Amelia did not expect that Olivia would reject her so decisively. She was stunned for a moment. Her


    face turned ashen, and her hands trembled in


    anger.


    “This Olivia is so disrespectful to me!”


    She mmed her phone on the floor. A cloud of warning settled over her features.


    Emma carefully picked up the phone and observed the look on her mother’s face. Then, she asked in a


    soft voice, “Does Olivia think that the clothes are too old–fashioned, so she doesn’t want them? I still


    have…”


    Before Emma could finish the sentence, Amelia suddenly interrupted her in a harsh tone. “What an


    ungrateful brat! Don’t bother with her. Let her make a fool of herself tomorrow.”


    Amelia was so angry that her head was spinning. A swell of irritation vibrated in her chest as if it would


    burst through her lungs.


    After sitting on the sofa for a long while, she finally cooled off.


    Amelia regained her senses and turned to gaze at Emma, thinking, “Olivia would definitely make a fool


    of herself and embarrass both the Green and the Taylor families the day after tomorrow. Therefore,


    Emma could not make a mistake. To salvage our reputation ruined by Olivia, Emma has to be the star


    of the event.”


    Thinking of that, Amelia said, “I heard that Mr. Abel Dubois is in Evervale these days. He has designed


    a unique diamond gown which is currently on exhibit in the country. I’ll contact himter to buy the


    dress.”


    “Abel? A diamond gown?”


    Emma’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her heart was beating fast. “Is Mom talking about the dress named


    Angel? It’s a unique white–colored long train diamond gown which costs several millions of dors.”


    It was the first time Emma wanted a piece of apparel so desperately.


    She had never worn such an expensive gown before.


    It wasn’t that Emma couldn’t afford it, but it wasn’t worth it. Several millions of dors could buy a luxury


    car or a mansion. Using that much money to buy a garment that she would only wear a few times was


    a bit


    extravagant for her.


    Moreover, these kinds of dresses were normally created by designers to participate inpetitions and


    not for sale.


    To buy one, other than money, one also needed connections.


    “Mom.” Emma tried to control her slightly trembling voice. “Isn’t it too. morous? I…


    “How can it be too morous?” Amelia looked at Emma fondly. “Not matter how expensive the gown is,


    my daughter is worthy of it.”


    Amelia’s voice became gentle. She stroked Emma’s head lovingly and said with sorrow, “My Emma


    has suffered. Ever since Olivia is back, you haven’t had a single day of peace. You put up with


    everything and yield in every way. Even Ethan Turner was stolen from you. It’s really been hard on


    you.”


    Emma threw herself into Amelia’s arms, her eyes moist and her voice choked, like an aggrieved little


    girl. “Mom, I’m not afraid of hardship. Even if you want me to go back to the orphanage, I’m willing to.


    I’m just afraid that you don’t want me.”


    “Silly girl.” Upon hearing this, Amelia’s heart ached. “How can I not want you? You’re my daughter.”


    Afterforting Emma, Amelia called Abel and requested to buy the dress.


    Abel agreed without hesitation.


    Amelia was delighted. “That’s great. My daughter is going to wear Angel to her grandfather’s birthday


    party the day after tomorrow. Can youe over and help with the fitting?”


    Much like haute couture clothing, the unique dress required the designer to fit it personally.


    Amelia thought that since Abel had agreed to sell the gown to her so readily, he woulde over to


    help with the fitting and make necessary alterations. But unexpectedly, the designer rejected her.


    “Why?” Amelia was surprised.


    Top fashion designers like Abel were very particr about their works and pursued perfection in every


    detail. Under normal circumstances, Abel would engage in extendedmunication with the buyer and


    make multiple alterations.


    “I’m really sorry, Mrs. Taylor. I should alter the gown ording to your daughter’s size, but I’m really not


    avable these days,” Abel said apologetically,


    “You really don’t have time?” Amelia frowned in confusion. “I thought your exhibition was over?”


    Abel smiled, unable to hide the joy in his voice. “No, no, it’s not about the exhibition. I’m making a gown


    for a distinguisheddy these days.


    Coincidentally, she will also be attending a party the day after tomorrow. So I’m sorry, I really can’t find


    the time.”


    “A distinguisheddy?” Amelia looked puzzled and couldn’t understand for a designer, what could be


    more important than his own creation?


    Amelia was about to make an issue out of it, but Abel seemed to have anticipated her actions and


    spoke first. “I know this is my fault. Mrs. Taylor, if you’re not satisfied, you can choose not to buy the


    gown.” “No, no, no.” Amelia was anxious and immediately said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Mr. Dubois, you


    can go ahead with your work. As for the gown, I still want it.”


    Abel nodded. “Alright, my assistant will contact youter and send Angel to the Taylor family. I have


    something to attend to here, so I’ve got to go.” Without waiting for Amelia’s response, he hung up.


    Olivia was standing in front of the mirror, trying on clothes. When she saw Abel walking over, she cast a


    nce at him, then quickly averted her gaze and looked at herself in the mirror.


    “This gown looks great. It suits you perfectly.” Abel’s eyes were filled with admiration.


    Olivia frowned slightly. “It’s too sexy.”


    Abel looked at it and examined the details before saying, “I can alter it.” “Will that be too much trouble?”


    Olivia hesitated. He saw that Abel seemed to be very busy on the phone.


    “No trouble at all.” Abel shook his head and looked at Olivia. His tone was sincere. “I’ve freed up my


    schedule these two days to serve you.”


    “Isn’t that gown on exhibit?” Olivia recalled that Abel had a gown named Angel which was on disy.


    “Oh, you’re talking about Angel?” Abel’s expression was indifferent. “It has


    10:56]


    Billionares Missing Darling


    been sold.”


    “Sold?” Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise.


    Abel nodded. “Angel was specially designed for you. Since you don’t need it, there’s no point in


    exhibiting it.”


    Abel sounded nonchnt as if he was talking about a piece of trash. Meanwhile, Emma was talking to


    L on the phone in her room. Her face was red and she was extremely excited. “L, L, do you


    know? I bought the gown, Angel!”


    L was lying on the bed, watching dramas listlessly. After hearing Emma’s words, she sprang up and


    shouted in excitement. “What did you say? What did you say? Say it again. What did you buy?”


    Emma took a deep breath and steadied her emotions. Her lips trembled slightly as she said, “Angel,


    I’ve bought Angel!”


    “Oh, my goodness!” L eximed. “Where is it? Where is it? I want to see it and touch it.”


    L pleaded, “Emma, my dear Emma, can you let me try it on? Just for a minute.”


    Emma leaned against the sofa with a proud expression and paused for a moment before saying,


    “Okay, just one minute.”


    “Ah, ah!” There was another round of exmations. L was exhrated. “Emma, you’re so incredible


    and amazing. Angel is not for sale, right? I remember Abel saying that the gown is a gift from him to an


    angel. I can’t believe he sold it not long after he said that.”


    “I don’t know.” Emma shook her head. Her eyes flickered as if she had thought of something happy.


    She raised her chin slightly with acent expression. “Perhaps Abel thinks that I am an angel?”


    The gown that no one else could buy was now in her possession.


    The gown that an internationally renowned designer had said was designed for an angel would be worn


    by her.


    Thinking about how she was going to knock everyone’s sock off with the gown and attract envious or


    jealous gazes, Emma felt ted.

    Comment


    Chapter 126


    Amelia was one of the Green family members, so she arrived very early at the event.


    Emma followed behind her mother, disying a graceful demeanor. Her slender neck was as elegant


    as that of a white swan. When she arrived, she instantly attracted many admiring eyes.


    There were people who gasped and covered their mouths as they eximed softly, “Oh my god, the


    gown she’s wearing is Mr. Abel’s Angel. It has just been disyed to the public, and she’s wearing it


    now. The Taylor family really showers her with love.”


    As more and more guests arrived, more and more gazes fell on Emma.


    All of them were captivated by her unresistible charm.


    “This must be the eldest daughter of the Taylor family. She’s so beautiful. She’s even prettier than a


    celebrity,” someone murmured.


    Suddenly, the person beside him tugged on his wrist and said in a low voice, “She’s the younger


    daughter. The eldest is Olivia. The Taylor family has just found Olivia and reunited with her recently.”


    “Oh, right.” The person suddenly realized it. “I almost forgot. I just attended Miss Olivia’s wee party


    earlier this year. That’s strange. Mrs. Taylor and Miss Emma are both here. Why hasn’t Miss Taylor


    arrived yet? The Green family is her maternal family.”


    “Well, I guess they’re probably too ashamed to bring her out,” someone sneered. “I heard that


    compared to Miss Emma, Miss Olivia is distinctly inferior to her sister. She can’t hold a candle to Miss


    Emma.”


    “Of course. Miss Emma graduated from a top university overseas and worked at the United Nations


    before. She established her own beauty brand when she was just a teenager. On the other hand, Miss


    Olivia grew up away from her family, having no money or resources. How can she possiblypare to


    Miss Emma?”


    When Emma heard everyone praising her and disparaging Olivia, her eyes sparkled with pride.


    “In the 19 years before Olivia came into the picture, I’ve always been the center of everyone’s attention.


    Even among the many socialites, I always stand out.

    Emma’s eyes suddenly turned grim when she thought about it. There was a hint of resentment on her


    face.


    “It’s all Olivia’s fault. She’s a bitch! Why did shee back? She threatens my position and takes away


    the Taylor family’s assets. Apart from that, she also captures Ethan’s attention.”


    Emma had endured enough. From that day onwards, she would put Olivia down and trample on her,


    making her disappearpletely from the upper ss.


    Amelia was busy entertaining the guests at the side. Most of them were her close acquaintances and


    shared a degree of closeness with her. However, closeness did not mean that their rtionship was


    based on emotional connections and mutual respect. Rich women like them lived their lives in constant


    comparison. Before they got married, theypared their families‘ wealth and their educational


    qualifications. After they got married, theypared their husbands‘ and their children’s achievements.


    Theypeted against each other all the time.


    “By the way, Amelia, where is your eldest daughter? The one called Olivia,” A woman asked. appearing


    somewhat puzzled.


    A woman next to her chimed in and teased Amelia. “Don’t tell me you can’t bear to bring her out? Why


    are you hiding your daughter? Are you worried that we’ll say something bad about her?”


    Hearing them talking about Olivia, Amelia’s face stiffened. When she thought about Olivia’s simple


    sportswear and casual shoes, wearing not a single piece of branded clothing, she felt embarrassed.


    She forced a smile and said. “Olivia is shy.”


    “I can imagine that.” Another woman immediately added, “She’s probably not used to such a big


    asion and feeling nervous.” Her tone sounded friendly, but her words were mean. “How would a girl


    raised by a humble family know what the life of the upper ss is like? She probably doesn’t even


    know any etiquette. I know an etiquette teacher. Amelia, would you want to hire one for Olivia?”


    This is so humiliating.


    Amelia had never been so ashamed in her life


    Ever since she was young, she had always been the most dazzling and envied person among her best


    friends. Unexpectedly, when she was old, she was being shamed because of her daughter.


    An evil thought suddenly appeared in Amelia’s mind.


    She wished Olivia was dead.


    “If she were dead, I wouldn’t be embarrassed by her. If she were dead, she would always be as


    innocent and cute as when she was five years old and wouldn’t bring disgrace to me.


    “Why didn’t she just die?”


    Amelia gnashed her teeth.


    Just as she was seething with resentment, a sudden exmation could be heard at the door.


    The attendees of the birthday party were all prominent figures in Evervale. Even if they were in shock,


    they would maintain their


    One could imagine how shocked everyone was that they could help eximing.


    “Has an important guest arrived?” Amelia wondered.


    She looked at the door. The other women also directed their gazes at the


    entrance.


    Under the dim lights, a tall and slender woman slowly walked in.


    She moved against the light, like a gracefuldy who had stepped out of a ssical painting.


    There was no makeup on her face. Her bright eyes, pearl–like teeth, and radiant skin required no


    cosmetics to enhance them. She was also not wearing any essories. Her medium–length hair was


    casually tucked behind her ear.


    It revealed an exquisite round ear. Under the contrast of her dark–brown hair, her earlobes gleamed


    white.


    She was dressed in an apricot slim–fit dress. There were no decorations on it, but as she moved, it


    seemed as though a golden mist was emanating from her, and it was dazzling.


    Shemanded everyone’s attention


    She was so stunning. It was hard to say exactly what was beautiful about her, but people couldn’t take


    their eyes off her.


    After a while, a woman beside Amelia finally looked away. She covered her chest and mouth and


    eximed, “Who is thisdy? She has such a strong presence, like…”


    “Like a queen,” someone answered.


    Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads silently.


    They thought that only a queen would possess such a powerful presence. These women were used to


    seeing fine things. They had sophisticated taste and high aesthetic standards. They were amazed by


    Emma because of the gown. But they were impressed by that woman’s beauty purely because of her


    own beauty.


    Even though Angel was morous, Emma couldn’t carry the gown well. It didn’t tter her. Instead, the


    dress made her look like a stic


    mannequin.


    The first thing other people noticed was the gown. They would only look at Emma afterward.


    However, the woman before them was different. No one paid any attention to her clothes and


    essories at all. They could only see her.


    “Who is this?”


    Everyone regained their senses and began to wonder about the woman’s identity.


    “She’s so gorgeous. Oh my god, I waspletely in awe just now.”


    “No, no, she’s more than being gorgeous. Gorgeous can’t describe her beauty at all. She has a unique


    charisma. The strong impact makes me feel like I’m about to die.”


    The beautiful woman’s arrival sparked a heated discussion. Even the women beside Amelia began to


    discuss softly who that was.


    Only Amelia had aplicated expression on her face. After being in a trance for a moment, she


    muttered, “Olivia.”


    “What did you say?” Her voice was so soft that no one around her could hear her clearly.


    Ameliaposed herself and said in a clear voice, “She’s Olivia.” “What?”


    “Olivia?”


    “It is Olivia?”


    “The country pumpkin who had been raised away from her family for 18 years? The ignorant who had


    just been found?”

    Chapter 127


    Emma and a few of her friends stood there. The moment Olivia appeared, her originally proud


    expression shattered, and she couldn’t believe it.


    Olivia! It was her again!


    Emma suddenly tightened her grip on the small bag in her hand and lowered her head to hide the


    expression in her eyes.


    However, no matter how hard she tried to control herself, her body could not help but tremble slightly.


    She should have been the center of attention.


    However, the appearance of Olivia ruined everything.


    Jealousy spread from the bottom of her heart like a poisonous snake, making Emma’s entire body


    twist.


    “She’s as dazzling as a diamond. No wonder Daniel likes her so much,” L mumbled as if she was


    obsessed with Olivia. Her eyes were infatuated.


    As soon as she finished speaking, two sharp gazes shot straight at her.


    L felt a chill down her spine. She looked at Emma and ine and quickly changed her words. “She


    just has a pretty face. In terms of beauty, there are many female celebrities in the entertainment


    industry. We don’t win with our looks at all. We rely on our inner strength.”


    Afterforting Emma, L continued tofort ine. “E, you don’t have to care about Olivia.


    Her background is not as good as yours. No matter how good–looking she is, it’s useless. Mrs. Sullivan


    won’t let her marry into the Sullivan family.”


    At this point, she chuckled. “Mrs. Sullivan will be here soon. At that time, she will definitely look down


    on Olivia and might even embarrass Olivia.”


    Hearing this, the girls felt much better. They chuckled and looked at Olivia mockingly.


    So what if Olivia was good–looking? Her background was her original sin. Without the refinement of the


    elite aristocracy, even if one was good–looking and able to get into a prestigious school, their


    perspective would undoubtedly be narrow. With such an uncultured background, the


    Billionaire’s Missing Darling


    upper–ss society wouldn’t even give them a second nce.


    Thinking of this, Emma’s face became smug again, and a hint of arrogance shed across her eyes.


    One wrong step and every step would be wrong. Olivia would never be able to catch up to her.


    A gentle smile appeared on Emma’s face. She lifted the hem of her dress. slightly with her fingertips


    and walked toward Olivia. “Let’s go and greet my sister.”


    The girls cooperated and walked toward Olivia with meaningful smiles on their faces.


    At this moment, Olivia was standing beside Amelia. She nodded slightly and greeted Amelia.


    Her attitude seemed respectful, but there was a faint sense of alienation. Amelia was stunned. She was


    very surprised by Olivia’s actions. She never thought that Olivia would walk toward her immediately.


    In the previous few encounters, Olivia had always been cold to her. Olivia rarely got close to her and


    kept a certain distance from her. However, there was an indescribableplicated emotion in Olivia’s


    coldness as if she was filled with anticipation.


    But today, Olivia was different.


    That indescribable andplicated emotion disappeared. She no longer treated Amelia coldly and


    indifferently. Instead, she treated Amelia with respect.


    However, for some reason, Amelia felt a bone–chilling cold.


    It was as if something had beenpletely lost.


    In the past, although Olivia was cold to her, she was special because Olivia was not close to her alone.


    Her emotions wereplicated.


    However, now, Olivia respected her, but this respect was the same as everyone else’s.


    Amelia was no longer special. She had be like everyone else.


    She originally wanted to ask Olivia about her gown, but for some reason, she held back the words she


    wanted to say.


    At this moment, it was as if Amelia truly knew Olivia for the first time.

    In her opinion, Olivia was probably introverted, not good at socializing, with a touch of awkwardness


    and a sense of inferiority and sensitivity. She also carried a bit of arrogance as a scientific researcher.


    Additionally, she was like someone who had been sheltered andcked exposure to the world, making


    her easily intimidated.


    However, the current Olivia seemed to be very good at socializing.


    She just stood there gently and nodded slightly, but her aura was fully released and suppressed


    everyone.


    Even the wealthydies around her, who had been through a lot, were suppressed by her aura.


    Olivia nodded and greeted Amelia, showing Amelia respect as her birth mother without withholding or


    adding even the slightest bit.


    That was all.


    Coincidentally, Emma walked over and hugged Amelia’s arm affectionately. The smile on her face was


    gentle. “Olivia, you’re so beautiful today.”


    Amelia’s previously empty heart was instantly filled and fulfilled by the presence of Emma.


    She turned to look at the daughter whom she was proud of and was very satisfied.


    The other noblewomen also came back to their senses and sized up Olivia. When they got closer, they


    realized that the dress Olivia was wearing looked inconspicuous, but it was verypatible and


    beautiful. It was luxurious but did not overshadow others or conceal her own beauty.


    “This dress is really beautiful. Is it a new product from some brand?” a richdy said.


    Another richdy beside her added, “Yes, why haven’t I seen it in the new product list? What brand is


    it? Is it Chanel?”


    Olivia did not care much about clothing brands. She had people around her who handled these things.


    When she heard everyone’s question, a hint of doubt shed across her eyes. “Chanel?”


    Emma saw her confusion and the mockery in her eyes intensified. She covered her mouth and said,


    “No way, Olivia. Don’t tell me you don’t even know Chanel.”

    The others also eximed in surprise. They felt that Olivia was such a country bumpkin.


    Amelia’s body stiffened. Feeling the ridicule of the people around her, she felt ashamed and


    embarrassed.


    Olivia was too disgraceful. She didn’t even know about Chanel.


    Someone refused to give up and asked, “Ms. Taylor, you haven’t answered which brand your dress is.”


    Olivia took in everyone’s mocking and disdainful gazes. She looked at the noblewoman in front of her


    and felt that it was ridiculous. It was just a brand. Was it worth it?


    With a slightly puzzled expression, she shook her head and said calmly, “It’s not a brand. It’s just a gift


    from an old friend.”


    “Oh, so it’s clothes from a tailor’s stall.” Upon hearing this, a richdy immediately covered her mouth


    andughed.


    The others responded one after another. Someone even pointed at Amelia and said, “Hey, Amelia,


    you’re too stingy. Why can’t your eldest daughter even afford a gown?”


    “That’s right. She even went to the tailor’s stall to sew clothes. Amelia, why didn’t you check?”


    Amelia gritted her teeth and red at Olivia.


    Olivia did not bring her any glory and only brought her pain and embarrassment.


    It wasn’t like Olivia didn’t have money. It was fine even if she bought an ordinary branded gown. Why


    did Olivia have to wear clothes that didn’t even have a brand to embarrass her?


    Amelia was so angry that her body was trembling. She felt that her pride was being stepped on


    ruthlessly. If Emma had not supported her, she would have rushed forward and pped Olivia hard.


    Unlike Amelia’s embarrassment, Emma’s eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.


    Previously, when she was suppressed by Olivia, she thought that the gown Olivia was wearing was a


    masterpiece. She did not expect it to be sewn by


    a tailor.


    She was so excited that her hands were trembling. She forced herself to


    calm down and said kindly, “Olivia, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you didn’t have a gown? I still


    have a spare gown here. Take it and wear it.”


    Comment


    Chapter 128


    The gown Emma was talking about was a pink tutu. The style was very gaudy. She had specially


    brought it over today to find an opportunity for Olivia to change into it.


    Unexpectedly, the timing was just right. The birthday banquet had just begun, but Olivia could already


    change into it.


    Yes, yes. After hearing Emma’s words, Amelia quickly reacted. Before everyone arrived, Olivia should


    quickly change her gown so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself.


    She hurriedly said, “Olivia, follow Emma to the room upstairs and change your clothes.”


    “Change?” Olivia lowered her eyes slightly. Her gaze stopped on Amelia’s face for two seconds, and


    her eyes were filled with confusion. “Why should I change my clothes?”


    She felt that the gown she was wearing was very good.


    It was a gown that Abel had designed for three years and had never been revealed to anyone.


    Everything was ording to her preferences.


    Olivia really liked this dress.


    Amelia was about to go crazy.


    Why didn’t this girl have any self–esteem at all? Didn’t she feel embarrassed?


    Amelia took a deep breath and barely managed to calm herself down. “What kind of asion is this?


    How can you mess around? You can’t wear all kinds of messy clothes here. Hurry up and change.


    Don’t be


    ungrateful.”


    “Mom, don’t be angry.” Emma patted Amelia’s back tofort her. “Olivia might not know the rules of


    the upper–ss banquet. I’ll tell her slowlyter. She’ll understand.”


    Amelia’s anger had been suppressed, but when she heard Emma’s words, it was instantly ignited


    again.


    Olivia was really too disgraceful. She did not know anything and was not decent at all. How


    embarrassing!


    Olivia did not understand why Amelia was angry until now.


    1/5

    It turned out that it was because her clothing brand was not famous enough.


    Olivia turned around and took a ss of red wine from a passing waiter. Then, she leaned against the


    railing and shook the ss.


    The crystal wine ss was spotless, clear, and transparent. It could clearly reflect the mellow red color


    of the red wine.


    What a beautiful ss of wine.


    Then, she turned her wrist slightly and the red wine was sshed on Emma’s dress.


    “Ah!” A scream was heard.


    Emma lowered her head and looked at the red wine stain on her dress. Her body trembled slightly, and


    her usually gentle eyes were about to pop out. There was not a trace of blood on her face, and it was


    as pale as a ghost’s.


    Olivia was courting death!


    L and the others quickly surrounded Emma. As theyforted her, they red at Olivia. “You’re


    crazy!”


    Amelia was so angry that her entire body was trembling. The veins on her forehead were trembling as


    she tried her best to restrain herself. “What are you doing?”


    The other noblewomen also looked at Olivia in surprise. They found it difficult to understand. “This is


    Angel. It’s Mr. Abel’s work. It’s a gown worth several millions of dors.”


    It was ruined by a ss of red wine just like that!


    “Are you crazy? You’re jealous of Emma’s dress just because you’re wearing ordinary clothes.” A rich


    lady pursed her lips and felt that Olivia was really narrow–minded. She couldn’t afford a luxury brand,


    so she was jealous of others.


    Hearing everyone’s ridicule, Olivia chuckled and raised her hand to hand over the wine ss.


    There was no waiter beside her, and a socialite who was watching the show happened to be standing


    there.


    She actually subconsciously took it!


    When she took the ss in her hand, she was shocked. What was wrong


    tollionaire’s Missing Darling


    with her just now? Was she a waiter? Why did she take the ss from Olivia?


    It was iprehensible.


    “It’s just a dress,” Olivia still said with a confused expression as if she didn’t understand why everyone


    was so mad.


    A richdy could not stand her expression. She pointed at Emma’s dress. and shouted, “What do you


    know? This is Mr. Abel’s work. It’s the one and only dress in the world, Angel. Do you know how much


    this dress costs? Several millions of dors!”


    “Oh.” Olivia understood. “So it’s because it’s expensive.”


    She walked to Emma’s side and lowered her eyes. After sizing Emma up for a while, she suddenly


    chuckled. “So, you judge a person by how expensive their clothes are? You’re proud of yourself when


    you wear luxury brand clothes and think that you’re very impressive. You’re ashamed of yourself when


    you wear ordinary clothes.”


    Her voice suddenly became sharp as she said, “So, all of you in the so–called upper ss, socialites,


    and nobles, are nothing more than objects wrapped in pretty packaging, devoid of your own


    personalities! Your worth is only defined by brand names!”


    After saying that, she lowered her head and nced at the gown she was wearing. Her tone was


    gentle and happy. “I like this dress very much.” After finishing her words, she raised her gaze and


    scanned the crowd with a clear and prating look, as if scrutinizing and yet indifferent. “Do you know


    why Marilyn Monroe’s dresses are expensive? Because she wore them. Do you know why ancient


    porcin used by emperors has be antiques? Because they were used by emperors.


    “These things are expensive not because they are valuable in themselves, but because the people who


    used them are valuable.


    “Even if I were to wear ragged clothes, a hundred yearster, I would still be revered by others. But all


    of you, even if you put on dresses that are worth several millions of dors, are nothing more than


    stic models showcasing the dresses!”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the entire ce fell silent.


    Everyone was stunned as they stared at her.


    Someone came back to her senses first and whispered. “Who is she? She is


    so arrogant!”


    The person beside her replied, “Do you know Olivia? Do you know the Lasker Award? She’s a Monel


    Prize candidate. She’s someone who will be mentioned in textbooks and remembered for eternity.”


    Monel Prize…


    Everyone was speechless. It was indeed possible to leave her name in history.


    “Olivia! You’ve gone too far!” Just as everyone was shocked and speechless, an angry voice sounded.


    Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Ethan parting the crowd and striding over with a cold


    aura.


    Ethan strode to Emma. Looking at her disheveled expression and pale, face, his heart ached.


    Although he did not have any feelings for Emma, they were still childhood sweethearts. In his


    impression, Emma had always been proud, confident, and elegant. She had never been in such a sorry


    state before. It seemed that all her embarrassment was because of Olivia.


    With these thoughts in mind, Ethan’s expression grew more resentful as he red at Olivia. He angrily


    said, “Olivia, the renowned scientist of the Taylor family, do you think that just because you have fame,


    you can bully others at will? Whether it’s the person adorning the clothes or the clothesplementing


    the person, this outfit was ruined by you. Do you really think you can get away with it without


    compensating even a single penny?”


    At this point, he let out a cold chuckle, his gaze chilling to the bone. “Or is the prize money you’ve


    received nowhere near enough to afford such an expensive dress? That’s why you felt jealous and


    decided to ruin it with spilled wine. And now you’re trying to escapepensation by using some


    superficial and meaningless theories!”


    As expected of the best of the younger generation. With just a few words, Ethan had turned the


    situation around and changed everyone’s thoughts. Previously, everyone felt that Olivia was right.


    These noblewomen were indeed worthless to wrap themselves in branded clothes, but she could


    be famous in history.


    However, Ethan’s words changed everyone’s thoughts.


    15 vouchers


    Just because she had a high IQ didn’t mean that she had a good character! Who said that the scientific


    community wasn’t jealous? No matter how good Olivia was, she was just a young woman in her


    twenties. It was normal for her to be jealous of others and like beautiful clothes.


    Moreover, although the title of scientist sounded nice, scientists were actually very poor.


    Chapter 129


    “Why don’t you say something, Great Scientist? Could it be that you can’t afford it?” Ethan stared at


    Olivia with a sharp gaze.


    The others began to whisper.


    “Oh my, don’t tell me she doesn’t want to pay for it?”


    “I heard them talking just now. They said the dress Olivia is wearing is made from a tailor’s shop. She


    can’t even afford a proper gown. I bet she doesn’t have much money.”


    “That’s for sure. Didn’t she make a righteous remark just now? I thought she was some outstanding


    scientist whose name would go down in history. As it turns out, she couldn’t pay a single cent. How


    embarrassing.”


    No matter what they said, Olivia just leaned against the railing quietly with an indifferent expression.


    Seeing this, Ethan sneered. “Does she think that she could get away by ying dumb?


    He stroked Emma’s hand tofort her. Then, he smirked and was about to speak to Olivia.


    Right then, a dignified and elegant middle–aged woman in a gown made her way through the crowd


    and walked up to Olivia. “Miss Olivia.”


    Olivia nodded. “Is he here?”


    The middle–aged woman replied, “Yes, he is.”


    Just as everyone was wondering what they were talking about, a stylish old man rushed over.


    After looking at him for a while, they said in shock, “Abel! The world–renowned designer, Mr. Abel


    Dubois!”


    It was understandable that people didn’t recognize Abel right away. He used to dress very fashionably


    whether at a show or a party and had a unique and quirky style that stood out among many celebrities.


    However, other than the face, the old man in front of him looked nothing like Abel.


    His hair was t, looking as if he had just randomly applied hair gel on it. Instead of wearing umon


    outfits as he did in the past, he was d in


    10.8


    an ordinary suit, exuding an air of simplicity,


    But he was indeed Abel.


    Seeing the old man, Olivia’s face brightened up a little. She nodded at him and said, “Sorry to trouble


    you toe all the way here.”


    Abel waved his hand anxiously. “No, no, you’re being too polite. It’s my honor to be able to assist you.


    It’s no trouble at all.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.


    “Gosh, is this really Abel? The insufferably arrogant and confident Abel?” “And what is Olivia’s


    rtionship with him? Why is Abel so respectful to her?”


    The crowd was confused.


    Abel took a deep breath and walked to Emma’s side. After examining the gown carefully, he concluded,


    “It can be fixed.” Then, he turned to look at Olivia. “Miss Olivia, don’t worry. This dress can be fixed.”


    “Okay, thank you,” Olivia said politely. Afterward, she pointed to the middle–aged woman and said to


    Abel. “If you need anything, you can talk to ke.”


    Ethan did not expect a sudden turn of events. He frowned and questioned Olivia, “What are you


    doing?”


    Olivia slowly raised her head. Before she could reply, Abel spoke with annoyance, “Can’t you see?


    Miss Olivia is trying topensate for the damage of the gown.”


    Ethan choked on his words and looked at Abel with hostility. But he kept his manners and asked, “Mr.


    Dubois, are you paying thepensation on Olivia’s behalf? May I ask what is your rtionship?”


    The crowd’s curiosity was instantly aroused by Ethan’s words.


    “Oh, gossip.”


    Some people who had improper thoughts shifted their gazes between Olivia and Abel, weaving a


    romantic fantasy in their heads.


    Abel was originally checking the gown. When he heard that, he suddenly straightened up his body and


    said in a serious tone, “I’m not obliged to tell you about my rtionship with Miss Olivia. But you are


    questioning her character. In order to dispel your doubts and indecent thoughts, I’m going to exin


    everything to you.”


    Abel paused and turned to look at Olivia with gratitude. “Six years ago, my granddaughter fell seriously


    ill. It was Miss Olivia who came forward and saved her life. So, Miss Olivia is the Dubois family’s


    savior.”


    Abel’s words were like a p to Ethan’s face and a condemnation of his evil mind.


    Ethan’s face darkened, but with great effort, he managed to maintain hisposure. He nodded


    reluctantly and said. “Oh, I see. So, Mr. Dubois, you came to fix the dress to repay her kindness?”


    Abel shook his head. “No, I’m not repaying her kindness by fixing the dress, but by making this dress.”


    “What do you mean?”


    Emma’s face stiffened and she subconsciously clenched her fists.


    Abel nced at the gown Emma was wearing and slowly exined why he made Angel.


    “This gown is my gift to Miss Olivia. Every diamond was personally selected by me which symbolizes


    Miss Olivia’s pure and empathetic heart. The gown was meant to be given to her, so it’s only for


    exhibition and not for sale.


    “However, a few days ago, Miss Olivia saw the gown and didn’t like it very much. She didn’t want to


    wear it. The gown thus lost its purpose. And it just happened that Mrs. Taylor wanted to buy it, so I sold


    it to her.”


    As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted with exmations. They didn’t expect that there


    was such a story behind the gown.


    It turned out that Olivia had rejected it. However, after Emma had gotten it, she treated it like a treasure


    and couldn’t stop showing it off.


    “How is this possible?” Emma muttered in disbelief


    Then, she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes widened with surprise. Without caring if


    she was acting with proper decorum, she grabbed Abel’s sleeve and said, “Mr. Dubois, we asked you


    to fit the gown on me two days ago, but you said you didn’t have time. Were you altering a dress for


    Olivia?”


    Abel nodded. “Miss Olivia doesn’t like Angel. Fortunately, I’d designed two gowns for her at that time.


    One was Angel and the other was Autumn…”


    Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a woman. “Mr. Dubois, the Autumn that you’re


    talking about, is it the dress Mss Olivia is wearing?”


    Abel nodded. “Yes, this is the one.”


    “Oh my god!” The woman covered her mouth, her hand trembling.


    She couldn’t believe it was actually Abel’s work. They had all been saying it was a shabby dress from


    an amateur tailor.


    The woman’s face turned red when she thought of the sarcastic words she had said. She felt extremely


    embarrassed and wished to find a hole and hide in it.


    Amelia’s face was gloomy. She was not only embarrassed but also very puzzled. “Since it is Mr.


    Dubois’s work, why didn’t Olivia say it?” Frowning deeply, Amelia looked at Olivia in bewilderment.


    “Why didn’t you just say it is Mr. Dubois’s work? Why didn’t you exin it?”


    She questioned, “Did you do this on purpose to embarrass us?”


    Amelia had the tendency to specte Olivia’s intention with maximum malice.


    “Exin what?” Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly. Her eyes were cold. “This isn’t a branded dress,


    and it was indeed a gift from an old friend. Have I misled you in any way?”


    Olivia chuckled. Her cold eyes revealed a trace of mockery. “What a joke. When you didn’t know it was


    Abel’s work, you denigrated it. But once you found out that it was his work, you started to sing praise of


    it. Don’t you have any aesthetic sense? Or do you only judge a piece of clothing based on the


    designer’s name?”


    These words made the other women’s faces turn red with shame.


    At first, they thought that the dress was beautiful. Butter on, when they discovered that it didn’t have


    a brand name, they belittled it.


    Olivia’s eyes swept across everyone’s face. “To me, this is just a gown I like. No matter who designs it,


    it’s just a gown.” Her tone was calm but carried a strength that could not be ignored.


    She was truly domineering.


    Everyone’s heart skipped a beat as they looked at Olivia. They felt that she was nothing like what the


    rumors had said. She was not that


    self–abase. On the contrary, she was incredibly tough.


    Olivia seemed to be innately endowed with great confidence and dignity.


    Comment


    Chapter 130


    Olivia did not want to talk with those people anymore. She came to the banquet to celebrate her


    grandfather’s birthday, not to argue with them. She used to have expectations and affection for Samuel


    and Amelie, so she put up with all the ridicule and pain. But now, she waspletely disappointed with


    her parents.


    Otherwise, she wouldn’t have estranged herself from them.


    The opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference.


    In the past, Olivia had resented Amelia because she had expectations of her and longed for the


    tenderness that she remembered seeing in her mother’s eyes. However, she hadpletely given up


    after being harmed over and over again.


    She thought she probably shouldn’t have been their daughter.


    She could easily get many things in the world if she wanted to, but love was the exception.


    Her mother just didn’t love her.


    No matter how outstanding, remarkable, hopeful, and tolerant she was, Amelia just did not love her.


    The little fingers on her left hand suddenly trembled and her heart twitched in acute pain.


    Olivia slowly lowered her eyes and gently ced her right hand on her left hand to hold her left pinky


    finger.


    The unhurried movements seemed to carry a tremendous weight. It was as if she had decisively


    stripped away the longing that was engraved in her bones.


    When she raised her hand again, she had regained her appearance of serene detachment.


    Her left pinky finger trembled no more


    She turned around and prepared to leave.


    When she had only taken two steps, she was stopped by a sternmand from behind.


    “Stop right there!” The person who spoke was Ethan. His face was grim


    Billionaire’s Missing Darling


    and his gaze was cold.


    Olivia turned around and looked at him indifferently, asking in a calm voice, “What do you want?”


    Seeing that Olivia was so overbearing and showed no remorse at all,


    Ethan felt that she was literally a viper. “How could there be such a vicious woman in this world?”


    He felt disgusted that he once had an infatuation with her.


    He thought, “Not only did this woman have someone sexually assault Emma, but she also constantly


    bullied and hurt Emma. She even threw wine on Emma at such an important asion to embarrass


    her.”


    Ethan felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. His eyes were filled with coldness. “Right. You’re


    sophisticated and we’re uncivilized. I admit everything you said before. But if you want to prove


    yourself, why did‘ you have to spill wine on Emma’s dress and step on her to get to the top?” Emma


    lowered her eyes and clutched the hem of her dress as if she had suffered an unbearable blow. Her


    beautiful eyes were filled with tears.


    She quivered and said, “Olivia, why… why do you do this to me?”


    As she spoke, tears rolled down from her eyes. Her slender body swayed as if she was about to fall.


    She bit her lower lip. Her eyes filled with despair and her voice was choked with confusion. “I know you


    hate me. You hate me for taking your ce and taking away the love of your parents. But this is not my


    fault. Since you returned to our family, I’ve been giving in. I give all the good things to you first and think


    for you in everything. But not only do you not appreciate it, but you also keep picking on me. What


    exactly do you want?”


    Emma was crying her heart out. If Ethan hadn’t supported her, she would have fainted and fallen to the


    ground.


    Everyone around Emma was taken aback after hearing what she had gone through. They did not


    expect her to have suffered so much.


    With deep sorrow, Amelia held Emma in her arms and kept saying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry for making you


    suffer.”


    Seeing this, the people around them felt sorry for Emma and started to denounce Olivia, thinking that


    Olivia had gone too far for being so mean to her sister.


    One person said, “She got lost when she was a kid and only found her


    parents after 18 years. Indeed, she had endured a lot of hardships, but what does this have to do with


    Emma? It is not Emma who lost her. How could she bully that poor girl?”


    “That’s right. All these years, it’s Emma who stays by Amelia’s side, taking care of Amelia on her


    behalf. Speaking of which, she owes Emma.


    Ethan supported Emma. His expression was cold as he looked at Olivia in a condescending manner.


    “Apologize, apologize to Emma now!” “Apologize?” Olivia lowered her eyes. Her eyshes fluttered


    slightly like butterflies that were about to fly away. Her expressionless eyes grew dim. Everyone was


    curious about what Olivia would do.


    Despite the fact that she had given Emma a hard time, the onlookers didn’t echo with Ethan and


    demanded her to apologize.


    But an older person spoke up, “Miss Olivia, you bullied Miss Emma and spilled wine on her dress. Of


    course, you have to apologize.”


    “I bullied her?” Olivia chuckled as if she had just heard a joke.


    She walked up to Amelia without looking at Ethan and Emma. Staring straight at her mother, she


    asked, “Do you also think I bullied her?” Amelia was at a loss for words. Her mind went nk for a


    moment. She could not remember how Olivia had bullied Emma.


    But Emma’s heartwrenching crying pained Amelia. So Amelia was flustered and did not have time to


    think carefully. She red at Olivia fiercely and rebuked her, “Don’t think that you can bully Emma just


    because I gave birth to you. Let me tell you, I only acknowledge Emma as my daughter. Apologize to


    her now.”


    “So, you really want me to apologize,” Olivia muttered. Then, she suddenly put on a stern face.


    An oppressive and overpowering chill swept over andnded on everyone in the room.


    “If I don’t say anything and pursue the matter, you’ll push your luck and think I’m an easy meat.” She


    enunciated each word clearly, and her voice seemed to carry a bone–chilling coldness.


    “Don’t take my tolerance for granted. When I care about you, you can hurt me all you want. But if I don’t


    care anymore, you mean nothing to


    me!”


    Olivia’s gaze was intimidating as she slowly scanned the crowd. In the end, her eyes rested on Emma.


    “You said I bullied you. Tell me, how did I bully you?


    “The fact is you keep plotting against me!” Olivia snapped up at Emma, “You fainted at my wee


    party, framed me for finding someone to sexually assault you, and colluded with the Taylor family to


    restrict my freedom. Is it because I didn’t bring this up or pursue them, you’re going to pretend that


    nothing happened and think I am an easy meat?”


    Olivia’s stern confrontation shocked everyone.


    Ethan was the first to react. He red at Olivia. “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s you who


    did all of this. You’re jealous of Emma, so got someone to abuse her. If I hadn’t arrived in time to save


    Emma, I’m afraid she might have… she might have…”


    Emma went along with it and plunged into his arms. It was as if she had suffered a huge grievance. Her


    body was shaking uncontrobly.


    She was not afraid of Olivia at all. There was no concrete evidence to prove what had happened back


    then. The so–called evidence in Olivia’s hands was just a video of her text message.


    Those who knew the inside story might realize that she had framed Olivia, but those who did not know


    wouldn’t be able to figure it out. Amelia was the only person who knew the truth. As long as she took


    Emma’s side and testified against Olivia, Olivia would never be able to turn things around.


    It was not a courtroom with a judge andwyers to discern right from


    wrong.


    “Olivia, you country bumpkin knows nothing about the rules of our ss. There are things that don’t


    require justification and no one will investigate the truth. I can destroy you simply by spreading rumors.


    “Besides, rumors do not require facts or evidence. As long as everyone believes that you’ve schemed


    against me, that’ll be the truth!”


    A malicious intent shed across Emma’s eyes when she thought about that.


    “Olivia, I’m going to destroy you this time!”


    Chapter 131


    Amelia’s body stiffened. She knew the inside story. It was not Olivia who hired someone to rape Emma.


    However, it was Emma who framed Olivia.


    However, on such an asion, if she told the truth, then Emma’s


    reputation would bepletely ruined!


    However, if she didn’t say it, it would destroy Olivia!


    Everything depended on her decision.


    Amelia closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her gaze was firm.


    It was not that she favored Emma, but it was a measure of benefits. Emma needed a good reputation


    to marry into a good family and be able to live in an upper–ss society effortlessly. Olivia was


    different. She was a researcher. Researchers did not care about this. They only cared about results.


    Amelia silently told herself that she was not being biased.


    Instead, Emma needed a good reputation.


    Anyway, Olivia had lived as an ordinary person for more than 20 years and had probably adapted to it.


    She was not used to the upper ss at all, so she could suffer a little.


    After that, Amelia wouldpensate Olivia. Alright, she would give Olivia one–tenth of the Green


    family shares in her hands.


    This was really not a small amount. Even if it was just one–tenth, there would be two hundred thousand


    dors every year. It was enough for her to live.


    After making her decision, Amelia held Emma’s hand and shouted


    angrily at Olivia, “Are you done making a fuss? Do you want me to expose the bad things you’ve done


    to the public? You’re shameless, but the Taylor family still needs respect!”


    Upon hearing this, everyone immediately muttered and whispered, “Oh my god, it’s actually true! Olivia


    is really vicious. She actually wants to destroy Miss Emma!”


    “It’s because her mentality is bad. She doesn’t live well, so she takes her anger out on Miss Emma.


    However, to be honest, it’s normal for her to be jealous. However, she’s too much and too vicious. She


    actually thought of


    such a bad behavior.”


    All kinds of unpleasant words were heard.


    Olivia did not care about these spections and curses. She slowly raised her head and nced at


    Amelia.


    Amelia felt a chill in her heart as if she had been nailed by something terrifying.


    She subconsciously frowned, feeling that she was probably feeling guilty. Otherwise, why would she


    feel flustered?


    She soothed herself and thought, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”


    Just like Emma, Amelia also felt that the video in Olivia’s hands was not clear enough to prove


    anything.


    With just a nce, Olivia averted her gaze and no longer paid attention to Amelia. Instead, her gaze


    landed on Emma.


    Her tone was unhurried, without a trace of panic, as if she didn’t care about her reputation at all.


    “You’re saying that I yed tricks on you and hired someone to rape you? I wanted to destroy you?”


    Upon hearing this, Emma lowered her eyes. For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.


    She held onto Ethan tightly, still looking weak and helpless.


    Ethan was heartbroken. He raised his hand and patted Emma. Then, he looked up at Olivia with a cold


    expression. “Don’t you feel guilty at all? How can there be such a vicious person like you in this world?”


    “Vicious?” Olivia sneered. Then, she looked at Ethan coldly. She was shocked and thought, “How could


    there be such a stupid person in this world?


    “Amelia and Emma are also stupid. Do they really think that they could distort the truth?”


    Olivia could not be bothered to talk to these people. She did not like to waste time either. She turned


    around and extended her hand to ke. “Give it to me!”


    Seeing this, Emma and Amelia’s hearts skipped a beat. Olivia was going to get evidence!


    While Emma was nervous, she was secretly delighted. She had already thought of a countermeasure


    to deal with the situation about the video.


    10:59


    Emma thought, “That video could only prove that I was texting with Olivia’s phone, but they could not


    see the content of the message at all. No one present knew the situation. As long as I retort, Olivia


    could not do anything!”


    Thinking of this, Emma was calm.


    ke raised her hands and ced something that looked like a ck pen on Olivia’s palm.


    What was this? Emma and Amelia frowned. This waspletely different from what they had


    imagined. Could this thing be used to y videos?


    Just as they were wondering, Olivia took the ck pen–like thing and pressed the switch.


    A clear conversation entered everyone’s ears.


    Olivia Taylor. [It’s Emma. Your daughter directed and performed herself.]


    Amelia eximed. [Emma, you…]


    Emma. [Mom, I’m sorry. I’m afraid of losing you. Olivia is back. She snatched you, Grandpa, and Ethan.


    I really don’t want to lose you. I really have no choice. I’m sorry, Mom. I’ve disappointed you.]


    The sound quality of the voice recorder was very good. The voice that was yed was exceptionally


    clear. Everyone’s tone and even their emotions could be heard clearly.


    Everyone could hear the shock in Amelia’s voice and the fear in Emma’s


    tone.


    As soon as the recording was yed, everyone was in an uproar again. What a shocking scandal!


    It was clearly Emma who directed herself and framed Olivia. Not only did she refuse to admit her


    mistake, but she even joined forces with Amelia to bite back.


    How could there be such a shameless person in this world?


    Sensing everyone’s shocked or disdainful gazes, Amelia’s face turned pale. She wished she could find


    a ce to hide in.


    Ethan slowly let go of Emma’s hand as he was very shocked. He looked at Emma in disbelief and his


    voice was filled with disappointment. “Emma, you directed and acted in that matter? You framed Olivia,


    right?” The disappointment in Ethan’s eyes was like a knife that stabbed into


    10:39


    Emma’s heart. She went crazy and shook her head in panic. “Ethan, Ethan, don’t look at me like that.


    Listen to me!”


    She tried to grab Ethan, but he pushed her away forcefully. “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me!” It was as


    if she was something dirty.


    Emma finally despaired.


    She slowly turned around and looked at Olivia with madness in her eyes. “Isn’t your evidence a video?


    How can it be a recording?”


    Olivia was speechless.


    She thought, “Isn’t recording enough? Do you still want a video?”


    Olivia decided to satisfy her and signaled ke to y the video.


    ke was well–prepared. She took out a huge tabletputer from somewhere. It was big and high–


    definition. ke found the video of Emma crying and admitting that she had framed Olivia.


    Then, he clicked on the y button.


    Looking at this smooth operation, everyone forgot to pay attention to the truth. They only thought to


    themselves, “Fuck! Awesome!”


    This was too fucking well–prepared. There was even such a thing.


    Looking at the video about how she cried and admitted her mistake, Emmapletely broke down.


    She pointed at Olivia and shouted, “It’s not this, it’s not this. It’s the video that sent the text message!”


    “The one you sent the text message?” Olivia chuckled. Her beautiful eyes. were filled with sarcasm.


    “Can’t I think of anything you can think of?”


    Olivia walked to ke’s side and slid her perfect fingertips on the tablet. She opened the list page and


    saw a series of videos.


    “Do you want to watch it?” She turned to look at Emma and smiled like a flower. “There are many more.


    The video of you getting someone to beat you and admit your mistake, and the video of you framing


    me with aptop… Oh, there are many. Which one do you want to watch?”


    Olivia had always done things wlessly and never revealed any ws. Previously, she did not pursue


    the matter because she was toozy to pursue the matter, but that did not mean that she could not


    pursue the


    matter.


    She turned off the tablet and handed it to ke. Then, she looked at Emma and said calmly, “Do you


    remember what I reminded you? Don’t

    Chapter 132


    Emma fell to the ground like a withered flower. It no longer had any vitality and did not even care about


    the dress that she cherished previously.


    She was nk, confused, and desperate.


    Everyone had already left. Although they had watched the scene of bustle, it was still the Taylor family’s


    matter. Everyone present had status and knew how to keep a distance. They would never say anything


    that they shouldn’t interfere in.


    Coincidentally, Isabe arrived. Everyone surrounded her, wanting to say a few words to her.


    In the corner, only Emma, Amelia, and Ethan were left.


    Ethan did not speak, nor did he look at Emma. He was in a state of nkness.


    Emma in his memory was gentle, generous, elegant, and pleasant. She was very kind and tolerant.


    She could not even bear to step on an ant.


    However, such a kind Emma had done so many vicious things. It was fine. if she was vicious, but she


    still did not repent. Even though the truth had long been exposed, she still shamelessly framed others.


    How could Emma be such a person?


    Ethan’s original understanding was changed. He felt a faint pain in his heart and waspletely


    disappointed in Emma.


    “Emma.” Ethan crouched down next to Emma.


    Even at thest moment, he was still willing to respect Emma. Although the current Emma was


    unrecognizable and he no longer knew her, their past affection was still there.


    Ethan raised his hand to touch Emma’s face, but before his fingertips. touched her, he suddenly


    stopped.


    He didn’t want to touch her!


    Ethan closed his eyes and retracted his fingertips. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was calm.


    “Emma, why did you do this?”


    Emma lowered her eyes and did not say a word.


    11.00


    At this time, no matter what she said was wrong, she could only remain. silent.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Ethanughed at himself. “Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then


    don’t say it. But I have to say it. Emma, I’m sorry. We can’t go back.”


    Emma still lowered her eyes and did not speak, but her back was


    trembling violently. The intense pain made her bite her lower lip tightly to barely stop crying.


    “I’m leaving. Emma, take care of yourself!” Ethan stood up and suppressed the sadness in his eyes.


    His voice was indifferent. “Cancel our


    engagement.”


    After saying that, he left without looking back.


    Emma curled up. Her body trembled violently. It was despair from the extreme pain.


    Amelia was still immersed in her embarrassment when she suddenly turned around and saw Emma


    curled up on the ground. She was shocked and quickly helped her up.


    “Emma, Emma, don’t scare me.”


    Emma shook her head. She wanted to smile at Amelia andfort her, but she could not.


    Amelia was terrified and quickly helped Emma upstairs to rest.


    Upstairs, Emma was in a better mood. She looked at Amelia and said, “Mom, I want to be alone for a


    while.”


    Amelia nodded.


    After Amelia left, Emma immediately called Evelyn. The moment the call went through, Emma could no


    longer control her emotions and cried out, “Mom, I am painful!”


    At this moment, Amelia was still standing at the door, thinking that Emma was calling her.


    Amelia’s heart instantly ached. She wanted to push the door open andfort Emma, but after


    thinking about it, she decided to leave and leave Emma alone.


    Amelia, who went downstairs alone, felt very heartbroken. She thought, “Emma, my daughter, must be


    in extreme pain to be like this. However,


    11:00


    you are too obedient and sensible. Although you are in pain, you are unwilling to pressure me. Instead,


    you bear it alone.”


    Upstairs, Emma was hugging her phone and muttering about the pain. Evelyn remained silent and


    listened quietly. When Emma stopped talking, she said, “Emma, my good daughter, go wash your face


    and go downstairs. Don’t worry, leave everything to me. I won’t let anyone hurt you!”


    Her voice trembled at the end with a hint of harshness.


    “Is it embarrassing to go downstairs?” Emma mocked herself. “Mom, my reputation is ruined. Do you


    understand?”


    “No!” Evelyn’s tone was firm. “With me around, you will be fine. Samuel has already gone.”


    “What’s the use ofing here?” Emma was heartbroken and desperate. “My reputation ispletely


    ruined.”


    “Silly girl.” Evelyn’s tone was gentle. “You have to know one thing. All the evidence about your bad


    reputationes from Olivia. What if there’s a problem with Olivia?”


    Emma sat up, her eyes shining. “You mean…”


    “That’s right!” Evelyn looked confident. “Samuel is already gone. As long as he insists that Olivia is not


    the Taylor family’s child and says that Olivia is an ordinary woman, she’s full of lies and is scheming.


    For the Taylor family’s assets, she impersonated someone and set you up. Everything was


    orchestrated and acted by her. The so–called video was also made by her with technology. Then, she


    will have no way to make aeback and there will be no ce for her in the upper–ss society!”


    Upon hearing this, Emma’s lips quivered in excitement. She was energetic, but she still had a hint of


    worry. “About Liam…”


    “You don’t have to worry about that.” Evelyn sneered. “Compared to you, Liam will stand by Olivia, but


    when she argues with Samuel, Liam can’t give up Samuel for her.”


    Emma heaved a sigh of relief, and a hint of hope appeared in her eyes. After hanging up the phone,


    she washed her face and put on makeup again. She even changed into a pure white dress, making her


    look weak and pitiful.


    Downstairs, ine and the others were gathered together. They were all


    11:00


    +5 vouchers


    shocked by what had just happened. Although they had a good rtionship with Emma, they were also


    surprised by her viciousness. The three of them were in a daze for a long time.


    L was the first to react. She was lively and raised her hand to poke ine. “E, Isabe is here.


    Let’s go over there.”


    Mary also nodded. “That’s right. Don’t think about Emma anymore. Go and see Isabe first.”


    ine nodded.


    The three of them walked over slowly. After taking a few steps, they saw Olivia standing on the left.


    L pulled Mary and pointed. “Look!”


    Mary looked up at Olivia and frowned. Disgust shed in her eyes. “Ignore her.”


    L nodded and sighed. “Olivia is quite powerful. Even Emma is not her match. However, no matter


    how powerful she is, it’s useless. Her


    background is not good. Isabe will not let someone like Olivia marry into the family.”


    Upon hearing this, ine looked up and nced at Olivia indifferently. She did not take Olivia seriously


    at all.


    ine thought, “Olivia is just a poor girl raised by a small family. Even if she has a good background,


    she is not presentable. Now that she has fallen out with the Taylor family, she haspletely lost the


    right topete.”


    ine did not even bother to look at her.


    曲


    Chapter 133


    Isabe was talking to the Green family’s olddy, Cathy Green, who was Amelia’s mother and Olivia’s


    grandmother.


    ine and the other two walked to the corner and looked at themselves in the mirror. After confirming


    that their appearance was not wrong, they walked towards Isabe in the middle of the crowd.


    Before they could get close, they were stopped by the Sullivan family’s Aunt Lilian.


    ine was stunned. Then, she nodded slightly and greeted politely, “Aunt Lilian.” Then, she said, “I


    want to go and greet Isabe.”


    Aunt Lilian was at ease with such social events. She held ine’s hand and said enthusiastically, “Oh


    dear, you are so beautiful. Isabe will definitely dote on such a flower–like beauty like you.”


    After saying that, she paused and looked troubled. “But, girl, I have to ask you to wait a little longer.


    Isabe is talking to the Green family’s Cathy


    now.”


    ine nodded sensibly. “I’m not in a hurry. I’ll go over when Isabe is done.”


    “How sensible,” Aunt Lilian praised.


    Because Isabe was busy, ine, Mary, and L were waiting in the


    corner.


    L looked around the people surrounding Isabe. She could not help but say, “Are these all waiting


    to greet Isabe?”


    Mary nced at it indifferently and nodded. “Yes, I think so.”


    L sighed. “There are so many people. If this is the case, when will it be our turn to meet her?”


    “Well, we can do nothing.” Mary’s tone was straightforward. “Because the Sullivan family has such a


    high status! Isabe rarely attends banquets. It’s not easy to find an opportunity to greet her, so they


    have to grasp this chance to curry favor with her.”


    As the three of them were talking, they saw Olivia walking in their direction.


    L eximed, “What? Is she going to greet Isabe too? How can she be


    17:00


    Bilhonaire’s Missing Darling


    such shameless?”


    After saying that, L began to gloat. “Hey, we should get closer and take a look. She will definitely be


    stopped. She might even be mocked.”


    Mary also sneered. “Why doesn’t she think of her own status? How dare she approach Isabe!”


    ine maintained herposure and did not want to go over. However, L liked this kind of gossip.


    L and Mary dragged ine close to the crowd.


    As expected, Aunt Lilian immediately rushed in front of Olivia and blocked her way.


    Seeing this, L chuckled. “Look at it quickly. It’s time for her to be embarrassed.”


    Just as they were excitedly waiting to see Olivia being mocked by Aunt Lilian, to their surprise, Aunt


    Lilian led Olivia to meet Isabe without saying a word.


    How could this be?


    Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Coincidentally, Aunt Lilian’s daughter, Harper, was


    beside them.


    L quickly went over and said, “Harper, Harper, why did Aunt Lilian bring Olivia over?”


    Hearing this, Harper looked puzzled. “Why not?”


    L was speechless. It was still Mary who said, “There are so many guests. here waiting to see


    Isabe. Doesn’t Olivia need to queue and wait?”


    “Olivia isn’t a guest. She’s Daniel’s future wife,” Harper said


    matter–of–factly. “She wants to meet Daniel’s mother, there’s no need to queue up!”


    ine and the other two were in a daze.


    As if she felt that the blow was not enough, Harper added, “It’s so tiring for Olivia to wear such high


    heels. Isabe will definitely be heartbroken. Olivia can go over and take a rest.”


    The three of them had been standing there for more than half an hour. They also wore high heels!


    They were not tired at all!


    Knowing that Olivia was going to greet Isabe, ke expressed her


    dissatisfaction.


    “Miss Olivia, I heard from Yanis that Isabe neglected you in the Sullivan family previously. She did


    not respect you when she talked with you. Why are you still greeting her?”


    After hearing this, Olivia chuckled. Her tone was a little nonchnt and she did not care much. “It’s just


    human nature.”


    ke still felt ufortable and muttered, “She’s so picky about you. Aren’t you angry?”


    “Angry?” Olivia moved her eyes. The dazzling lightnded at the end of her eyes, entuating her


    already long and narrow eyes.


    Her calm tone was filled with unconceble pride.


    “Not everyone in this world has the ability to make me angry.”


    ke was stunned and subconsciously looked up at Olivia.


    She suddenly remembered that after taking care of Olivia for so many years, she had never seen Olivia


    angry.


    No matter how difficult it was, it would be easy and effortless for Olivia.


    To her, being angry was an unnecessary emotion.


    “Go over.” Olivia walked towards Isabe. “She’s Andrew’s grandmother after all.”


    Cathy was talking to Isabe when she looked up and saw Olivia. She frowned subconsciously, and


    displeasure shed across her eyes.


    Cathy did not have any close feelings for Olivia they had just found. Cathy did not have any ill feelings


    towards her. In fact, she even felt a little regretful. She often advised Amelia to treat Olivia better.


    However, what had happened before made Cathy hate Olivia.


    Amelia and Emma were indeed in the wrong, but Amelia was Olivia’s biological mother after all. Olivia


    did not have any affection for them. She did not care about Amelia’s reputation at all and directly


    exposed the truth. She was even aggressive. She was really too unfilial.


    Thinking of this, Cathy frowned and sized up Olivia with her turbid eyes. Initially, Cathy wanted to find


    fault with her, but after sizing her up, Cathy became more and more surprised.


    Bithomanes Missing Darling


    This girl was actually so beautiful. It waspletely a perfect


    Cathy’s heart softened, so she didn’t say anything harsh. She just sighed, “You’re Olivia, right? Come


    to me.”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    “That won’t do.” Isabe grabbed Olivia’s hand and said with a smile, “This is Daniel’s girlfriend.”


    Cathy was stunned. She looked at Isabe in shock.


    “What did you say?”


    Isabe looked around and saw that everyone’s eyes were focused on them. She grabbed Olivia’s


    hand and announced, “I say, Olivia is Daniel’s girlfriend, she is the Sullivan family’s people.”


    Isabe’s voice was not loud, but it was steady and powerful. It was clearly heard by everyone present.


    ine had been staring at Olivia in a daze. When she heard this, her grip. on the cup tightened and


    she was very shocked.


    How could this be? How could this be?


    Why would Isabe acknowledge Olivia’s identity?


    Wasn’t Olivia raised in a small family? She didn’t know etiquette and didn’t know the rules of high


    society at all. How could such a person enter the Sullivan family?


    L’s eyes widened as well. She was stunned for a while before she thought of a possibility. “It should


    be Daniel’s instructions. Daniel has been alone for so many years without a woman by his side.


    Although Olivia’s status is low, she is still the only woman on Daniel’s side. Isabe had no choice but


    to ept her.”


    Mary frowned and nodded. “Olivia is quite capable.”


    First, Olivia destroyed Emma without a trace. Then, she quietly seduced Daniel.


    How scheming.


    Chapter 134


    ine felt her hands and feet were cold as if her entire body was soaked in cold water.


    By the time Mary and L realized that something was wrong with


    ine, ine had already passed through the crowd and stood in front of Isabe.


    L and Mary’s hearts skipped a beat when they saw this. They quickly went forward and held ine’s


    hand, wanting to pull her back.


    They thought, “Don’t be rash. You can’t make a fool of yourself on such an asion!


    “If anything happened, we could settle it in private. Olivia is just a woman who has no power or money.


    Even the Taylor family does not care about her. There are plenty of ways to deal with her.”


    As if sensing their worry, ine turned to smile at the two of them, indicating that she was fine.


    ine was not an impulsive person and would not do anything that she was not confident in.


    Seeing this, L and Mary heaved a sigh of relief. Among the few of them, ine was the least


    talkative, but she was the most confident when. she did what she wanted.


    “Daniel’s girlfriend?” ine widened her eyes and looked at Olivia in shock. “Aren’t you Ryan’s


    girlfriend?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, Isabe frowned.


    Aunt Lilian stepped forward nervously and could not help but want to pull ine back. She said in a low


    voice, “What nonsense are you talking about? Ms. Taylor is Daniel’s girlfriend. What has she got to do


    with Ryan?”


    ine looked aggrieved and confused. “I’m not spouting nonsense. I clearly saw Olivia sitting in Ryan’s


    car.”


    Mary and L looked at each other and immediately understood ine’s n.


    ine wanted to ruin Olivia’s reputation. Olivia had a problem with her background to begin with.


    Relying on her looks and Daniel’s love, she


    reluctantly gained recognition from Isabe.


    If it was revealed that Olivia loved others at this time, Isabe would definitely be furious.


    L reacted quickly and immediately walked to ine. She hugged her arm and nodded heavily. She


    said, “I saw it too. I heard that Olivia’s assistant was all hired by Ryan.”


    “This is too much!” Aunt Lilian was furious. If not for her manners, she would have thrown her cup to


    the ground.


    Harper also ran to Aunt Lilian and said, “That’s right, that’s too much!”


    L and ine looked at each other and thought to themselves, “Herees a good show.”


    In their imagination, Olivia would definitely be chased out!


    Harper was like a powder. Her temper was very bad. She did not care about the asion. As long as


    she was unhappy, she would immediately


    retort.


    Today, Olivia was destined to make a fool of herself!


    They just didn’t know if Olivia was going to be cursed or beaten. ine’s eyes followed Harper closely.


    She did not want to miss a single detail. ine had been holding her anger all the time at the banquet


    today. Now, she could finally have a good time.


    As expected, Harper did not disappoint ine. Although she did not smash the cup, she threw a snack


    away. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.


    “This is too much, too much!” She stomped her foot hard on the ground.


    Seeing her action, ine looked happy.


    Harper’s wrist began to tremble with anger. She said hatefully, “Ryan is too much! How dare you!”


    The corners of ine’s mouth curled up to a mocking smile as she waited for Harper to curse Olivia.


    However, Harper’s next sentence was, “Olivia is Daniel’s girlfriend. How can Ryan snatch her from


    Daniel?”


    The smile on ine’s face froze in surprise.


    She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. What was


    25


    going on? Had she heard wrongly?


    L also looked at Harper in a daze, wondering if she had heard wrongly.


    At this moment, Aunt Lilian said hatefully, “That’s right. Ryan is too immoral. Miss Olivia is clearly


    Daniel’s girlfriend. How can he be so fawning? That’s too much!”


    Originally, Cathy was a little worried about Olivia. Although she did not like Olivia, Olivia was still her


    granddaughter. Cathy thought that it was really embarrassing to be despised and cursed on such an


    asion.


    Just as Cathy was thinking about how to plead for Olivia, she heard Aunt Lilian and Harper’s words.


    She froze and her expression changed.


    She suspected that Aunt Lilian and Harper were being crazy.


    Cathy turned to Isabe and was about to say something. However, Isabe took a ss of wine and


    walked towards Olivia.


    Seeing this, Cathy’s heart skipped a beat. She thought, “Is she going to ssh Olivia with the wine?”


    Isabe did not ssh the wine. She just handed the ss to Olivia and said, “Try it. This wine tastes


    good.”


    Olivia took the wine ss and took a sip. Then, she smiled. “It’s indeed delicious.”


    “I knew you would like it.” Isabe’s tone was smug. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Aunt


    Lilian was still angry. She immediately said, “Alright, stop talking.”


    Aunt Lilian shut her mouth. Harper was a little unhappy. She said to Isabe, “Isabe, Ryan is too


    much.”


    Isabe raised her hand and said nonchntly, “It is normal that many men like our Olivia. Olivia is


    beautiful and has a good personality. There will definitely be people pursuing her. Don’t mind it.”


    ine, L, and Mary were speechless.


    They thought, “Is there something wrong with the Sullivan family? How could they protect a woman


    who had an ambiguous rtionship with someone else?”


    The others were also shocked. They could not understand. Could it be that Isabe loved Olivia very


    much?


    Just as everyone was in shock, a deep man’s voice sounded. “Sorry, I’m


    110


    Everyone turned around and realized that it was Samuel.


    Emma happened toe down from upstairs. When she saw Samuel, she rushed over quickly and


    hugged Samuel’s arm. “Dad.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down her face. She was really


    too aggrieved.


    The busybody looked down on Emma and said to Samuel, “Mr. Taylor, you’rete. Didn’t you see?


    Emma is very evil. She directed herself and framed Olivia, and…”


    Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Samuel.


    His eyes were dark, and his voice was cold and firm. “She didn’t frame Olivia.”


    The busybody was stunned.


    Samuel turned around and patted Emmafortingly. His tone was gentle and firm. “Emma did not lie,


    nor did she direct or act by herself. She didn’t frame Olivia.”


    What kind of shocking news was this? Could it be that the matter was not over yet?


    Everyone immediately perked up. Someone asked, “What’s with the audio and videos?”


    Samuel’s expression was cold. “It’s just a fake. Technology is so advanced now. It’s very easy to make


    a few audio videos.”


    It was fake. However, since it was made by Olivia, why didn’t Amelia and Emma exin it?


    Everyone started to whisper. Even Cathy couldn’t sit still anymore. She couldn’t help but ask, “Samuel,


    why do I feel more and more confused? Hurry up and exin it to me.”


    Everyone was also stunned. When they heard Cathy


    Everyone was also stunned. When they heard Cathy’s words, they couldn’t help but look at Samuel,


    waiting for him to exin.


    Olivia was also very curious. She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Samuel without blinking,


    looking like she was serious.


    Samuel looked up and nced at Olivia. His gaze was cold, as if the person opposite him was not his


    daughter at all, but his enemy.


    “This is all a conspiracy!” Samuel closed his eyes and opened them again.


    Chapter 135


    Olivia sat on the sofa with a ss of wine handed over by Isabe. She casually ced the wine ss


    on the small table beside her. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Samuel seriously.


    ording to Samuel, Olivia was a scheming person.


    She had lived in the city since she was young. Because her grandfather, who had raised her, was old


    and did not discipline her strictly, she had many bad habits. She was very vulgar and was prone to


    jealousy. She admired vanity and liked to steal things. She did all the bad things. Because she was


    greedy for the Taylor family’s assets, she forged a paternity test report and imed that she was the


    child the Taylor family had lost 18 years.


    In order to obtain more assets, she framed Emma and forged the audio and video to ruin Emma’s


    reputation.


    She was simply scum!


    Isabe was originally sitting elegantly on the sofa. When she heard Samuel say that Olivia was greedy


    for the Taylor family’s assets, her wrist trembled and she almost dropped her wine ss.


    She coughed a few times before calming herself down. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.


    She thought, “Samuel must be crazy. What the hell is he talking about?” Seeing Isabe’s surprise,


    Samuel’s eyes were filled with pride. After today, Olivia would bepletely expelled from upper–ss


    society. Even if she was beautiful, Daniel would not be with such a vicious woman. Samuel didn’t have


    any feelings for Olivia who had been lost for 18 years. He was even a little angry because Olivia’s


    existence was a constant reminder of his mistake back then.


    If he had not been careless, he would not have lost Olivia.


    Although no one mentioned this matter anymore, every time he saw Olivia, Samuel would feel


    ufortable.


    More importantly, Olivia was not obedient at all. She always contradicted him and did not have any


    respect for him as a father. Compared to Emma, the difference was very huge.


    Samuel didn’t care about having another woman at home, but he hated a disobedient woman!


    Evelyn was right. The child that was found from outside could not be fine. Not only did she not have


    any respect for her biological parents, but she was also filled with resentment. It was like a poisonous


    snake lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.


    Olivia was a poison. If she could destroy Emma today, she would ruin Samuel’s reputation as a father


    tomorrow.


    He had to make a prompt decision and ruin Olivia’s reputationpletely.


    Amelia, who was walking over, was stunned when she heard Samuel’s words. She staggered a few


    steps and held onto a pir beside her, barely stabilizing herself.


    She thought, “What is going on? How could it be fake?


    “Olivia is my daughter, that’s right!”


    Amelia was very confused. She looked at Samuel and said, “Samuel, you…” Before she could finish,


    she was interrupted by Samuel. His tone was firm as he stared at Amelia. “Are you still going to hide it


    for her at a time like this? She pretended to be our daughter, hurt Emma, and enjoyed the Taylor


    family’s wealth. Our biological daughter is still suffering somewhere.”


    Amelia was stunned. She seemed to have understood something. Her lips. trembled violently, and her


    body trembled violently. She did not speak for a long time.


    Emma stood beside Samuel. When she saw that Amelia was silent and tacitly agreed to this matter,


    her eyes shed with joy.


    Emma thought, “Olivia, you are so pitiful. No matter how smart and cautious you are, no matter how


    arrogant you are just now, it cannot change the fact that no one loves you. Even your biological parents


    frame. you. What are you still alive for?


    “You’re the one who shouldn’t have been born. You shouldn’t exist in this world!”


    As long as they confirmed today that Olivia was not the Taylor family’s child, everything would return to


    normal.


    If Samuel and Amelia were unwilling, Olivia could not do a paternity test,


    she would be removed from the Taylor family forever. No one would acknowledge her identity.


    The people who came to attend the Green family’s birthday banquet today were all rich businessmen


    and nobles. Almost all the upper–ss people were here. With these people as witnesses and


    confirming that Olivia’s character was bad, not only would she have no ce in the upper–ss


    society, but even the scientific research world would have doubts about her character.


    The power was huge. When she was in trouble, everyone would look down on her. Even if her scientific


    research ability was really strong and she obtained the award with her own ability, many people wanted


    to harm her and use her of giarizing and cheating.


    Once she had a bad character, no one would believe her. She wouldpletely fall to the bottom of


    society and be the lowest level that everyone looked down on.


    Thinking of this, the corners of Emma’s mouth curled up slightly. Her gaze gently moved to Olivia,


    wanting to see her panic and helplessness. However, what she saw was that Olivia raised her hand to


    stop a waiter. She took some food and lowered her head to eat them deliciously.


    Olivia still wanted to eat at a time like this!


    Emma almost roared.


    Samuel also frowned and looked at Olivia coldly. He was not satisfied with her absent–mindedness.


    “Olivia,” Samuel said. “What else do you have to say?”


    Olivia, who was suddenly called, was stunned for a moment. She looked up in surprise with a puzzled


    expression. “What will I say? I don’t want to speak.”


    The corner of Samuel’s mouth moved as he shouted angrily, “Don’t y the fool! Do you think our


    Taylor family is easy to bully? You pretended to be the Taylor family’s child and bullied Emma. Aren’t


    you going to give me an exnation?”


    Emma also spoke up and said sternly, “You still want to fool us? Do you really think our Taylor family is


    stupid?”


    “It’s indeed quite silly.” Olivia put down her fork.


    Emma was speechless.


    Billioname’s Missing Darling


    At this time, shouldn’t Olivia be flustered and anxious to find a way to prove that she was the Taylor


    family’s child? Why was she so calm?


    Emma was very confused.


    Olivia handed the small te to the waiter beside her. At the same time, her fingertips slipped and she


    took the paternity test report from Samuel’s hand.


    Seeing this, Samuel sneered. He had done this wlessly. There was no omission at all. Olivia’s


    thought of starting with the identification report was probably a failure.


    Samuel thought that Olivia was looking for the omissions in the


    identification report, but he realized that after she received it, she did not. look at it at all. Instead, she


    handed it to ke and said, “Take it and make a copy. Everyone present will get a copy.”


    ke moved very quickly. She got a photocopier and carried a stack back in a moment. The waiter and


    she distributed them to others at the


    banquet and promised that everyone would get a copy.


    Samuel watched coldly from the sidelines, believing that Olivia was making a final struggle.


    This report was perfect. He was not afraid of being seen at all.


    After the report was sent, Olivia stood up and looked around calmly. She said, “As everyone can see, I


    have no blood rtionship with the Taylor family.”


    Everyone looked at the test results at the back of the report. They were not rted by blood, so they


    nodded.


    “That’s great.” Olivia heaved a sigh of relief and looked straight at Samuel. “Since we’re not rted by


    blood and you’re not my family, I don’t have to suffer because I care about your feelings.”


    What did she mean?


    Samuel and the others were confused when Olivia turned to ke and said, “Call the police. Didn’t


    they say that these audio videos were fake? Let the police judge.”


    Emma was dumbfounded by those words. When she came back to her senses, her eyes were filled


    with fear!


    Olivia, she actually…


    Chapter 136


    “Wait.” Samuel reacted quickly. He immediately stopped her and found a bunch of reasons. “Family


    scandals can’t be aired in public. This is the Taylor family’s matter. How can you call the police?” he


    said.


    Emma immediately nodded. “Yes, that’s right. This is just a family matter. You can’t call the police!”


    After saying that, she looked up at Olivia and magnanimously added, “Although you’re not the Taylor


    family’s child, Samuel and Amelia are kind and can’t bear to see you go to jail. Let’s just forget about


    this matter and let it go.”


    Olivia looked up and nced at Samuel coldly. She said slowly, “Since family scandals can’t be


    publicized, why are you publicizing it all over the banquet?”


    Samuel was speechless.


    The guests also looked at Samuel with curiosity and doubt in their eyes.


    The people who came to such an asion were not ipetent. All of them were smart people. It


    was just that this matter concerned the Taylor family’s matters and they were unwilling to get involved


    in it. They were just here to join in the fun.


    However, at this moment, Samuel’s reaction was very suspicious. Since Olivia’s evidence was fake,


    she should be afraid of calling the police. How did it be Samuel who was afraid?


    For a moment, all kinds of thoughts and guesses came out.


    Samuel became anxious when he saw everyone’s thoughts and doubts. He began to speak without


    thinking, “Why don’t you know what’s good for you? It’s obvious that you have evil intentions and are


    full of lies. You want to get the Taylor family’s assets. We’re magnanimous and won’t argue with you,


    but you won’t let us off.”


    Olivia said, “Please argue with me.”


    Samuel was speechless and he was so angry that his eyes widened. Emma was more thoughtful. She


    first scanned the crowd and bowed to everyone. Then, she said, “Everyone present is a well–mannered


    person. I believe that regarding the Taylor family, they won’t spread it around and


    1/3


    11 02


    make it known to everyone. Samuel knows this very well, so he tells everyone honestly. However,


    Olivia, if you call the police, it will really be irreversible. It might even affect the Taylor family’s share


    price.


    “Samuel and Amelia are kind–hearted. As long as you apologize today, we won’t pursue all the


    mistakes you’ve made.”


    At this point, she lowered her voice and leaned closer to Olivia. She said meaningfully, “You’re just an


    ordinary woman. It won’t be good for you if this matter blows up. Although the Taylor family is powerful,


    we don’t want to bully you. As long as you admit your mistake, we’ll let you go!”


    She was using power to threaten Olivia. Although it would be a little troublesome if she called the


    police, with the Taylor family’s ability, there was a solution.


    Whether it was Evelyn who hired someone to rape Olivia, or Emma who directed and acted herself


    later, Emma found someone to put on a show and humiliate herself. There was no evidence of


    anything. The two people, the Taylor family had dealt with them and sent them overseas.


    Although Olivia had some videos, as long as the Taylor family thought of a way to put pressure on


    others, it was not impossible to resolve it. If Olivia knew what was good for her, apologize quickly. That


    way, the Taylor family can still let her off.


    If she didn’t know what was good for her and insisted on making a scene to the point of no return, Liam


    would also abandon Olivia for the sake of the Taylor family’s reputation.


    Liam’s connections were not something a girl like Olivia couldpare


    1. to.


    When Emma thought of this, her expression suddenly turned sharp. She stared fixedly at Olivia, her


    eyes filled with threat.


    At this moment, Samuel also reacted. He said to Isabe and apologized sincerely, “Mrs. Sullivan, I’m


    really sorry. Because of our negligence, you acknowledged such a despicable woman. Don’t worry, I’ll


    give you an exnation.”


    Isabe was still a little confused. What was going on? Didn’t Samuel know about the rtionship


    between Olivia and the Smith family?


    Before Isabe could react, Harper was displeased. She stood beside Olivia with a strong aura and


    faced Samuel. “You keep saying that Olivia


    is despicable, but all of this is what you said. There’s no evidence at all. Besides…”


    Her expression was mocking. “Your Taylor family is too funny. Don’t you know how to investigate? You


    get a daughter casually. To think you still call yourself a wealthy family.”


    This matter was indeed very embarrassing. Although it would destroy Olivia, it was not good for the


    Taylor family. If they could be schemed against sessfully, it meant that the Taylor family was not


    strong enough and could be schemed against casually.


    Samuel was so angry that his lips trembled. However, as an elder, he was too embarrassed to argue


    with a teenage girl like Harper. He could only grit his teeth and remain silent.


    Instead, Amelia spoke.


    Previously, she had lowered her head and remained silent, as if she had suffered a huge blow. Only


    now did she slowly look up.


    my fault. I


    “Harper.” She looked at Harper and apologized gently. “It’s all missed my daughter so much that


    someone took advantage of me.”


    Cathy had been very worried about Amelia’s condition. Although Amelia was sad now, her eyes were


    clear. Amelia could withstand the blow and not be too agitated.


    Cathy waved at Amelia. “Amelia,e sit here.”


    Amelia nodded at Cathy and walked over. When she passed by Olivia, her body stiffened for a moment


    before she deliberately dodged.


    From the beginning until now, she did not even look at Olivia, as if she was deliberately avoiding her.


    After sitting beside Cathy, Amelia turned to Isabe and began to exin slowly, “At first, when Olivia


    came to look for us, my family said that she was suspicious. I was too persistent and insisted on


    recognizing her.”


    At this point, Amelia lowered her eyes and tears rolled down her face. “Olivia has been missing for 18


    years. I think about her day and night. I really want to find her. I…”


    Amelia couldn’t continue and sobbed uncontrobly.


    Everyone present knew Amelia’s past very well. They knew the pain of losing her daughter. When her


    daughter was lost, shemitted suicide several times and was on the verge of going crazy. If not for


    Emma’s


    11:021


    appearance tofort her longing for her daughter, she would have gone crazy long ago.


    Seeing Amelia like this, many people felt pitiful. They were willing to believe what she said.


    Amelia missed her daughter so much. If Olivia was really her daughter, how could she not


    acknowledge Olivia?


    Now that she said with certainty that Olivia was not her daughter, it must


    be true.


    Amelia wiped her tears with a tissue and continued, “Later on, Olivia gradually became abnormal. She


    often contradicted Samuel and I. She was often impatient and always bullied Emma. Gradually, I


    realized that she was abnormal.


    “Later on, Samuel went to investigate and found out that she wasn’t my daughter at all. She was


    probably a girl from a wealthy family who had lost her way. She was adopted by an old man when she


    was young. However, the old man was very old and only gave her food. He didn’t have the ability to


    teach her. The more she grew up, the more bad she became. She had been lying since she was young


    and liked violence. She was a delinquent in school. When she grew up, she was vicious.”


    Speaking of this, Amelia quickly wiped her tears. She seemed to be really sad and could not control


    herself at all. Her chest was twitching and she was in extreme pain.


    If Cathy had not patted her back to calm her down, Amelia would have fainted.


    Cathy was frightened by Amelia’s appearance. As Cathyforted her, she red at Olivia. It was all


    because of Olivia that Amelia had to experience the pain of losing her daughter again.


    “Girl, why are you so vicious? Do you know that your actions almost. harmed Amelia? She’s already in


    poor health. If anything happens to her because of you, I won’t let you off!”


    Olivia ignored Cathy and quietly looked at Amelia.


    As if sensing her gaze, Amelia’s body shrank and trembled even more!


    Cathy quickly hugged Amelia and red at Olivia. “Do you still want to provoke her?”


    Olivia lowered her eyes. It was as if she had been thrown into an icehouse.


    11:02


    She felt as it all the blood in her body had frozen.


    At this moment, she seemed to be unable to think, like a walking corpse. After a long time, she finally


    said, “Mrs. Taylor, did you really love your daughter?


    Amelia froze. Her body seemed to be drowned in pain. She lowered her head to prevent the guilt and


    pain in her eyes from being discovered, Seeing this, Olivia heaved a sigh of relief. She still had a smile


    on her face, as it she hadpletely let it go.


    She said calmly and confidently, “You’ve never loved her, right?”

    Chapter 137


    As soon as Olivia finished speaking, Amelia’s face became very pale.


    “No… No, L…” Amelia shook her head vigorously and tried her best to deny it. However, when she met


    Olivia’s indifferent gaze, she was like a chicken being strangled and instantly fell silent.


    The huge emotional fluctuation made her feel ufortable. Amelia struggled to breathe twice, and


    finally, her heart twitched. Her vision turned ck and shepletely fainted.


    “Amelia!” Cathy was terrified as she called out. Her body kept trembling as she hurriedly shouted,


    “Quickly, someone help me! Call an ambnce! Now!”


    Emma immediately ran to Amelia. She held her hand and eximed, “Mom, Mom! What’s wrong with


    you? How do you feel?”


    Then, she turned around and red at Olivia. “It’s all your fault. If anything happens to Amelia today, I


    won’t let you off!” she said angrily.


    Cathy was also furious. Her eyes turned red, and her finger pointed at Olivia was trembling. “You,


    you’re really vicious! Do you know what Amelia has experienced? Do you know how she survived all


    these years? For your own selfishness, you caused her to experience the pain of losing her daughter


    again!”


    Because she was too angry, Cathy almost could not breathe. She coughed for a long time before


    continuing, “Today, if anything goes wrong with Amelia, you will be the murderer! You will stay in prison


    for the rest of your life!”


    No one expected things to turn out like this. They subconsciously looked at Olivia with a look of


    reprimand.


    They nagged at Olivia’s viciousness, causing Amelia to suffer the pain of losing her daughter again.


    Everything happened too suddenly, Olivia was still in a daze for a while. When she came back to her


    senses, she immediately walked to Amelia and wanted to feel her pulse.


    “What are you doing? Don’t you dare hurt Amelia!” Emma stood in front of Olivia.


    “Move aside!” Olivia’s tone was sharp. Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her entire person was as


    sharp as a sword.


    Missing Paringe


    Being cursed like this, Emma went numb and her entire body stiffened. For a moment, she felt as if the


    person in front of her was not a person, but a ferocious beast from the wild.


    She subconsciously moved aside and reacted when she stood to the side. She could not help but look


    vexed.


    What was wrong with her just now? Why did she move aside?


    However, she did not dare to walk over now. Her legs were extremely weak.


    Olivia squatted beside Amelia and grabbed her wrist to feel her pulse. Cathy was old and slow to react.


    It was only now that she realized what Olivia was going to do. She quickly stopped her. “What are you


    doing? Stop…”


    Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Isabe. “Lower your voice. Let Olivia do it. She’s good


    at medicine.”


    Cathy was stunned. She did not understand how Olivia knew medicine. However, with Isabe’s status,


    it was impossible for her to lie. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to let Olivia feel her pulse.


    After all, the ambnce had yet to arrive.


    Olivia quickly understood Amelia’s body. She raised her hand and pressed on Amelia’s body. In less


    than three seconds, Amelia slowly woke


    1. up.


    When everyone saw this, they couldn’t help but be excited. Olivia really knew medicine, and she looked


    quite capable.


    Olivia ignored everyone’s discussion and focused on Amelia. Her tone was gentle like never before.


    “Are you feeling better?”


    Amelia had just woken up and was a little stunned to be faced with such a gentle Olivia. She


    subconsciously nodded. “Much better.”


    Olivia heaved a sigh of relief and helped her sit up.


    Her wrist was clearly very slender, but when she supported Amelia, it did not tremble at all. It was


    steady, appropriate, and reliable.


    “It’s just that your emotions are fluctuating violently and affecting your heart. You’ll be fine after resting


    for a few days.” Olivia’s hand touched Amelia’s pulse again. “I’ll prescribe you a few medicines. You’ll


    be fine after taking them for three days.”


    Amelia was stunned. She did not understand what was going on at all. However, when Olivia pulled her


    hand back, Amelia subconsciously


    grabbed it tightly.


    She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth a few times, she could not say a word.


    Her throat was painful.


    As if sensing that something was wrong with Amelia’s mood, Olivia looked up and carefully sized up


    Amelia’s expression with her gentle eyes. Seeing that she was fine, Olivia was relieved.


    “You’re fine now.” Olivia’s beautiful eyes were filled with a gentle smile. It was like a warm spring


    breeze with intoxicating softness. “It was my fault just now. I apologize to you.”


    Olivia opened her mouth and her voice was as faint as fog. “You love your daughter, but you don’t love


    me.”


    Her words were suddenly clear as if they were self–deprecating.


    Just now, just as Amelia fainted, Olivia suddenly thought of the pregnant woman that Isaac had cured.


    When the pregnant woman was pregnant, her reaction was especially strong. She could barely eat or


    sleep. She vomited acid all night and had to rely on medicine to maintain her life. Her entire body was


    swollen, and there were pits on her calves.


    Her family had advised her not to have this child. It was too scary. If this continued, her body would not


    be able to take it.


    However, the pregnant woman was unwilling. Her eyes were


    unprecedentedly firm. She loved this baby and would persevere until thest moment.


    Unless she died, she would never give up.


    Then, Olivia thought, “Amelia must have loved me so much before.


    “It is just that Amelia doesn’t love me anymore. Why should I force others to love me?


    “How could there be anything justified in this world?”


    Actually, she had to calm down and not just restrict their rtionship. Amelia did not treat her badly.


    After all, she had loved Olivia for five years after giving birth to Olivia.


    This was enough! Olivia told herself.


    “Amelia…” Olivia hesitated for a moment before quickly changing her words. “Mrs. Taylor, I’m sorry for


    making you feel ufortable because of my existence. I won’t appear in front of you again in the


    Olivia stood up and retracted her hand.


    “No” Amelia did not know what was wrong with her, nor did she know what to do. She subconsciously


    held Olivia’s hand tightly and did not let her leave. She muttered, “Don’t go. Please don’t go!”


    Olivia did not say anything. She calmly lowered her eyes and extended her left hand. Her beautiful


    fingers slowly, gently, and without any hesitation, she opened Amelia’s tightly clenched hand and pulled


    her right hand out.


    The moment Olivia pulled her hand out, Amelia felt an emptiness in her heart. It was as if a big hand


    was gripping her heart tightly.


    It was so painful that Amelia bit her wrist. Her back copsed as if someone had taken her bone away,


    and she fell limply to the ground.


    Amelia could not help but whimper in pain. Olivia, Olivia…


    Her daughter was gone!


    Everyone was shocked by Amelia’s reaction. She didn’t look angry at all. Instead, she looked like she


    had lost something important.


    Cathy quickly hugged Amelia and shouted, “Quickly, is the ambnce


    here?”


    Samuel took a few steps forward. He did not look at Amelia. Instead, he pushed Olivia heavily. His


    gaze was cold. “What did you do? Did you use some vicious method to harm Amelia?”


    “It can’t be!” A rational person said on behalf of Olivia. “Amelia looks like she has a heartache.


    However, it should be an emotional problem.”


    Samuel frowned. “She pressed her hand on Amelia’s body just now. She could do something wrong to


    Amelia…”


    Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a cry of surprise. “I remember now. I’ve seen her before!


    She’s Olivia, the Smith Cuisine Hall’s Olivia. That seared salmon with herbed couscous was created by


    her!*


    Chapter 138


    The more the person spoke, the more certain he sounded. “I was at the Smith Cuisine Hall that day. I


    saw it with my own eyes!”


    The Smith Cuisine Hall had many guests that day. The person who came was sitting far away, so he


    did not see Olivia’s face clearly. He only vaguely heard her name, but he forgot about it after that. It


    was only when he saw Olivia’s medical skills that he thought of it.


    “That’s strange. Didn’t the Taylor family say that Olivia grew up in the countryside? She doesn’t have


    any background and her character isn’t good. How is she rted to the Smith Cuisine Hall?” Everyone


    was puzzled.


    The Smith Cuisine Hall was not just an ordinary restaurant. It was said that it had a powerful


    background.


    Not everyone present knew about the miracle doctor family, the Smith. family. They only knew that the


    Smith Cuisine Hall’s background was not ordinary. Only those top people or those who were extremely


    well–informed knew the rtionship between the Smith Cuisine Hall and the Smith family.


    At this moment, when they heard someone call out the rtionship between Olivia and the Smith


    Cuisine Hall, they started to mutter in confusion.


    Seeing that the situation was not right, Emma could not care about the grief–stricken Amelia anymore.


    She looked at Olivia and asked in confusion, “Did you lie to the Smith Cuisine Hall?”


    She frowned and looked disappointed. “It’s fine if you lied to us, but why did you lie to the Smith


    Cuisine Hall? I heard that the seared salmon with herbed couscous, the brand of the Smith Cuisine


    Hall, can strengthen one’s body. It’s said that it’s an ancient recipe passed down from their ancestors.


    Food is different from others. It is really important. If you y tricks on the food and something goes


    wrong, it will be a huge sin!” Emma’s acting skills were not bad. She portrayed her pity vividly and tried


    her best to discredit Olivia’s character. She wanted to attract everyone’s attention to her despicable


    character.


    Unfortunately, the matter of the salmon with herbed couscous could not be smeared with just a few


    words.


    Someone immediately retorted, “How do you think she can lie? The


    Mmg Thing


    Smith Cuisine Hall personally admitted that seared salmon with herbed couscous was created by


    Olivia. Everyone saw and heard it on their own that day. Moreover, Olivia even publicized the recipe for


    this soup on Twitter. It has been on the trending searches for a day. It can’t be faked.”


    Emma also knew that the seared salmon with herbed couscous’s secret recipe had been publicized,


    but she did not know the details. Now that she heard it from someone else, she immediately frowned.


    It was not that she was deliberately ndering Olivia, but this matter was really strange.


    How old was Olivia? She was only 24 years old, and the seared salmon with herbed couscous had


    been the Smith Cuisine Hall’s signature dish. for eight years. If she really created this healthy soup,


    didn’t it mean that she could create a healthy secret recipe at 16 years old?


    Emma could not believe it!


    Obviously, Emma wasn’t the only one who thought of this. Samuel had also thought of this.


    He took a step forward and sneered. “It is said that Olivia is a natural liar, good at disguising herself


    and deceiving others. But no one believed it. Look, here’s the evidence! First, she deceived the Taylor


    family, and now she deceived the Smith Cuisine Hall. Everyone, think about it. The seared. salmon with


    herbed couscous appeared eight years ago. At that time, Olivia was only 16 years old. How could she


    have created such a secret recipe?”


    It was indeed a little exaggerated. Everyone nodded. How could anyone be so skillful at the age of 16?


    Those famous doctors who had master’s degrees and PhDs for ten years did not dare to say that they


    could develop any great healthy recipes.


    Seeing that everyone agreed with him, Taylor continued with a smug expression, “I don’t know what


    kind of trick you used to fool the Smith. Cuisine Hall’s master, making people think that you’re really the


    seared salmon with herbed couscous’s creator. Unfortunately, you were still negligent and actually


    made a mistake at the most critical point.”


    The more Samuel spoke, the smoother his train of thought became. At the same time, the nervousness


    and guilt in his heart dissipated.


    Previously, when he said that Olivia’s character was despicable, he was just framing her. Although his


    words were firm, he was actually very nervous. However, now that he was involved in the Smith


    Cuisine Hall’s


    matter, he realized that Olivia’s character might really be bad.


    The anxiety in his heart waspletely relieved.


    At this point, it was not that he was ndering Olivia, but that she had a bad character to begin with!


    Olivia’s attention waspletely on Amelia. After observing for a moment, she realized that Amelia


    was only emotionally unstable and that her body was fine. Only then did she look away,


    Her clear and cold gaze swept across everyone, and she saw Samuel ring at her.


    “What mistake?” Olivia only heard a few words because she was focused on Amelia. She did not hear


    everything, so she asked.


    Samuel sneered, “You’re still pretending. Have you forgotten how old you are? Eight years ago, you


    were only 16 years old. How could you have created such an exquisite healthy secret recipe?”


    Olivia raised her eyelids and nodded unhurriedly. “Yes, I was indeed not 16


    years old at that time!”


    Samuel was proud of himself. He could not help but exim, “You admit to lying!”


    However, Olivia said, “Actually, I was 15 years old when I created it.”


    Samuel was speechless.


    “She is really good at pretending. Isn’t she afraid that her secret would be exposed?” Samuel thought.


    He said sarcastically, “Do you think you’re a genius? Fifteen? Why don’t you say you are five years


    old?”


    Olivia frowned. Her beautiful eyes shed with confusion. “Oh, I just created a recipe when I was 15.


    Can this be recognized as a genius in your mind?” she asked.


    Samuel was speechless.


    The others present were also at a loss for words. If she could not be considered a genius, wouldn’t they


    be stupid?


    Seeing that everyone’s thoughts had been led astray, Emma quickly said, “You said that the seared


    salmon with herbed couscous was created by you. What evidence do you have?”


    “Evidence?” Olivia chuckled and asked calmly, “Why should I prove it to you?”


    These words were meaningless. In the past, she cared about the Taylor family and Amelia’s feelings.


    That was why she tolerated everything and allowed Emma to y tricks. Now, she hadpletely let


    go.


    She felt that even talking to them was a waste of time!


    She turned to look at Cathy. “Now, I have nothing to do with the Taylor family, so I can’t stay here.


    Goodbye.”


    Then, she nodded at Isabe and left with ke.


    She had only taken two steps when she was stopped by Samuel. “Where are you going? You haven’t


    exined it clearly.”


    Olivia looked up and nced at Samuel. Her clear eyes were filled with indifference and coldness.


    She was already unwilling to say another word to Samuel.


    ke stood in front of Samuel and said in a business–like tone, “Mr. Taylor, regarding your defamation


    of Olivia, and Emma’s hiring of a murderer to rape Olivia, I’ve already called the police and submitted


    all the evidence. Now, I’m kindly reminding you to quickly hire a goodwyer, or you and Emma might


    end up in jail.”


    “What did you say? You called the police!” Samuel was shocked and furious. His eyes widened as he


    stared at ke.


    ke was speechless. “Don’t tell me you think we’ll just stand here and let you bully and frame us


    without doing anything?”


    Samuel still couldn’t believe it. He kept shaking his head. “Impossible, impossible. You’ve always been


    here. How would you have the time to call the police?”


    Hearing his words, ke was speechless for a moment. She looked at Samuel as if looking at a fool


    and said, “We are in the information era now. I can use my phone and the Inte!”


    “Why? How dare you to call the police?” Samuel muttered.


    In his imagination, there was no such thing as calling the police. In his opinion, Olivia was just an


    extremely ordinary woman and she could not cause any big trouble. All she could do was exin,


    plead, refute, despair, and finally ept her fate.


    However, Olivia waspletely different from what he had imagined.


    Chapter 139


    Olivia didn’t want to dwell on the Taylor family’s matter. In the past, she was willing to tolerate and


    respect the Taylor family’s people because she felt that this was also her home.


    No matter what, Samuel and Amelia were her biological parents. Blood ties could not be severed.


    However, at this point, Samuel’s actions were getting more and more overboard. His methods could be


    said to be despicable,pletely exhausting her patience.


    She was already unwilling to say a word to him.


    Seeing Olivia’s indifferent expression andplete disregard for his existence, Samuel suddenly felt a


    sense of depression and resentment. The more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt.


    “She is just an abandoned daughter of the Taylor family. She has no power or money. She only has a


    little reputation, but she actually dares to look down on me!


    “It seems that if I don’t teach her a lesson, she will not know who’s the leader of the Taylor family!”


    Samuel thought angrily.


    Samuel’s tone was cold. “Don’t think that you can rest easy just because you called the police. You’re


    just a powerless orphan girl. Don’t tell me you want to fight me! I can call the police station and make


    you suffer!” Upon hearing this, Olivia looked at Samuel with a hint of doubt in her eyes. “So what?” she


    asked.


    So what? Samuel, who was waiting to see Olivia’s panicked expression, was stunned and couldn’t


    react for a moment.


    Olivia sighed softly and had to say, “So, are you telling me this purely to scare me, or are you hinting


    that you have connections and will use unorthodox methods to distort the truth to solve this problem?”


    Samuel was at a loss for words.


    Olivia only felt helpless. She really wondered if she was rted to the Taylor family by blood. Samuel’s


    IQ was really not high.


    “There are so many guests at the banquet tonight, and all of them are influential people. Are you really


    so arrogant that you don’t care and shout that you want to do bad things? Is there any problem


    with…?”


    Because of Olivia’s upbringing the dvd not pay forst few worth.


    Oh, here Olivia sighed and took out a recording pen. “You know that! ke recording, can’t you be more


    careful with your words and acond Although this recording can’t be used as concrete eftere, as long ai


    announce it, no matter what, public opinion will be diedrataprose to


    Samuel’s eyes widened. He was so angry that he couldn’t speak


    Seeing this, Olivia yed with the recording pen as if she was showing it to him. She spun it a few


    times and then threw it to ke. She said to Samuel, ‘I don’t know how to treat you now. On one hand,


    you’re framing and ndering my reputation, and on the other hand, you’re rushing to give me the


    evidence. It’s really contradictory


    As Olivia spoke, she seemed to suddenly figure it out. She turned to ke and said. ‘I understand now,


    Samuel is really righteous. It seems that he intends to defame me and use me of impersonating the


    Taylor family’s bloodline. In fact, he wants to use this matter to remind me to quickly call the police and


    there’s no need to worry about the Taylor family. I should directly bring Emma to justice


    Samuel was so angry that his body was trembling. He quickly denied, “What nonsense are you talking


    about? That’s not what I meant


    Olivia lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. She had always been cold and indifferent and rarely smiled.


    However, this smile was like a beautiful flower that had just bloomed. In an instant, it shone brightly.


    Her beautiful eyes were filled with teasing and yfulness.


    All the guests present instantly froze and stared at her unconsciously,


    unable to react.


    It was because Olivia was simply so beautiful that it was rare in the world.


    “Mr. Taylor, you’re too humble. You’re clearly helping me. Why aren’t you admitting it?” Olivia smiled.


    Samuel was so angry that his fingers were trembling. He tried his best to deny it. “Don’t talk nonsense.


    I didn’t help you.”


    Olivia nodded. “I know. You’re being polite.”


    Samuel was so angry that he almost went crazy.


    Some of the other guests could not help but burst outughing. They thought to themselves that Olivia


    was really a wonderful person. Olívia didn’t tangle with Samuel for too long. His chest heaving up and


    Because of Olivia’s upbringing, she did not say thest few words.


    “Oh, here Olivia sighed and took out a recording pen. “You know that I like recording, can’t you be more


    careful with your words and actions? Although this recording can’t be used as concrete evidence, as


    long as I announce it, no matter what, public opinion will be disadvantageous to you.”


    Samuel’s eyes widened. He was so angry that he couldn’t speak.


    Seeing this, Olivia yed with the recording pen as if she was showing it to him. She spun it a few


    times and then threw it to ke. She said to Samuel, “I don’t know how to treat you now. On one hand,

    Even Cathy was thew ked and could not understand Mrs. Sullivan, why


    shocked


    are you


    Isabe put down the coffee cup and quietly nced at Samuel. She sighed softly I didn’t expect the


    Taylor family to decline to this extent, Although Samuel can’t support the Taylor family, he still has the


    third generation, William. He can be considered to have a sessor. I thought that even if the Taylor


    family doesn’t thrive, it should be able to maintain the current situation. Who knows…”


    Cathy’s heart skipped a beat as she heard Isabe continue, “Do you know who adopted Olivia?”


    “Who is it” Everyone was curious,


    “It’s fine if you don’t know, but the Taylor family actually doesn’t know at all. Didn’t you investigate? With


    the Taylor family’s strength, you shouldn’t have been deceived by a smokescreen. You’re not a small


    family with no power or money,” Isabe said with pity.


    This was also something that Isabe could not understand. If they were in the Sullivan family, they


    would definitely be able to identify Olivia’s true identity immediately.


    The more Cathy listened, the more confused she became. Her heart was in turmoil, and he felt that


    something bad was about to happen.


    Because Cathy was too flustered, she could not even stabilize herself. She quickly asked her grandson


    to go upstairs and took Mr. Green over. Today was Mr. Green’s birthday banquet. He should have


    appeared at the most critical moment, but everyone did not expect this series of idents. His body


    was not good to begin with, and Cathy was afraid that he would be provoked, so she did not let him


    come down.


    But now, Mr. Green had no choice but toe out. Cathy was afraid that she would not be able to


    control the situation.


    As expected, Isabe’s next sentence was, “Do you know Miracle Doctor Isaac Smith?”


    Chapter 140


    “Are you talking about the Isaac we know?” someone asked carefully.


    Isabe nodded. “Who else can it be?”


    At this point, she paused and continued, “The one who adopted Olivia was Isaac. Moreover, Olivia’s


    medical skills are very good, not inferior to Isaac.”


    As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.


    Everyone could not help but look at each other. They could vaguely guess that Samuel was hiding


    something. Olivia’s character was probably not as bad as he said. However, they did not expect that


    the person who adopted her was Isaac!


    One had to know that Isaac was not that easy to meet.


    He was a quiet person and did not like to be popr. He had even said that he did not want doctors


    with good medical skills to be monopolized by rich people, so he did not want to show off his


    reputation.


    Under normal circumstances, he would hide his reputation and practice medicine in small hospitals to


    save people.


    Due to his special identity, the country had always been providing protection in secret. It was very


    difficult for people to find him. Only when he really encountered a difficult illness that could not be


    treated by doctors outside would Isaac take action.


    There was once a rich man whose father was seriously ill. He spent a lot of effort and almost used all


    his connections to find Isaac.


    In just half a month, this illness that even famous doctors in major hospitals both domestically and


    abroad were helpless against had been cured.


    Since then, Isaac’s reputation has be even more resounding.


    Unexpectedly, the godly doctor that everyone could not find was actually the old man who adopted


    Olivia.


    For a moment, everyone had different thoughts. No one knew what they were thinking.


    Samuel looked terrified. After learning the truth, he felt as if he was in confusion. He was at a loss and


    could not believe it.


    “Impossible, impossible!” He denied it tly. “Isaac doesn’t know Olivia at


    Billionaires Missing Darling


    all. Previously, Yvonne was the one who invited him for treatment. Not only that, he even gave Yvonne


    a precious pill!”


    The more Samuel spoke, the more certain he became. His tone was very firm. It was unknown if he


    was trying to convince everyone else or himself.


    Isabe sneered. “I said that the Taylor family has declined, but you still don’t believe it. Think about it.


    Yvonne is a junior who has been living overseas. How can she know Isaac? Could it be that her


    connections in the country are stronger than yours? Don’t you think about how she managed to invite


    Isaac?


    “Moreover, how precious the pill was? There were only a few dozen pills in total. Even Mr. Smith did not


    have many left. How could he give it to Yvonne, whom he had just met and was not rted to? He had


    only given it to the Taylor family through her hands!


    “If not for the rtionship between Olivia and the Taylor family, do you think Mr. Smith would have


    bothered with you, let alonee personally?


    “It’s been so many years. Even important leaders of the country have to personallye to Layfield to


    seek treatment from Mr. Smith. What did the Taylor family do to make Mr. Smithe personally?”


    Isabe said.


    Isabe didn’t even know what to say about Samuel. She didn’t expect there to be such stupid and


    vicious parents in this world. Even if Olivia wasn’t adopted by Mr. Smith, she was still their biological


    daughter. They actually did this topletely ruin her reputation.


    “If Olivia wasn’t adopted by Mr. Smith and had a higher status than the Taylor family, wouldn’t she really


    be ndered and bullied by you? “Even someone of Olivia’s status, as well as a young scientist of the


    country, who was intelligent and had a beautiful character, had been bullied and suppressed by you. If


    it were a girl with a weak personality, wouldn’t she be powerless to fight back? She might have


    committed suicide long ago!


    “With Olivia’s status, who knew how many people were fighting to be rted to her? The Taylor family,


    on the other hand, was actually pushing away the treasure that they had obtained!


    “Moreover, even without Mr. Smith’s help, Olivia was still a rising star in the scientificmunity. If the


    Sullivan family produced such an extraordinary person, we would be more than willing to respect her.


    How


    would we dare to bully and suppress her?”


    Isabe’s words were not ending. Samuel felt the blood in his body boil. It instantly rushed to his head,


    making him feel ashamed.


    At this moment, he only cared about his reputation and felt embarrassed. He had no idea what the


    Taylor family had lost.


    Emma stood in a corner that no one was paying attention to. Her body was covered in cold sweat and


    her back was cold.


    “Oh no!” Emma thought. Her face was ashen.


    She was more thoughtful than Samuel. Samuel had an experienced father and a capable son to


    support him. Although he had no talent or virtue, he was also free from pressure and lived an easy life.


    Therefore, he was a little naive and thought little.


    However, Emma was different from him. Although she was loved by Amelia and she had lived in the


    Taylor family for more than ten years, she was still trembling in fear. She knew that both Liam and


    William did not like her.


    Today, if theypletely angered Olivia because of Emma, not to


    mention that she would be imprisoned, Liam would probably be the first to not let her off.


    Samuel and Amelia could not save her at all.


    Emma suddenly felt weak all over. Even though her back was leaning against a thick and sturdy pir,


    she swayed and almost fell to the ground.


    She knew that this time, she waspletely defeated!


    Amelia had been lying in Cathy’s arms. Her eyes were nk and she was in a daze.


    Cathy looked down at his daughter and felt a chill in her heart.


    After Isabe said that Olivia was Isaac’s granddaughter, she knew that Samuel and Amelia were lying.


    For the sake of Emma’s reputation, they wanted to sacrifice their biological daughter and did not


    hesitate to frame and nder her character. They did not care if they would destroy her or


    not.


    How could Isaac’s granddaughter have a bad character? Her connections, resources, and wealth were


    all top–notch. How could she cling to the Taylor family for that bit of wealth?


    To use an inappropriate analogy, how could a rich man cling to a beggar .


    Chapter 141


    It was alreadypletely dark when Olivia came out of the birthday banquet. The sky was pitch–ck,


    with only a few stars shining.


    The white lights behind her shone on her body. Her expression could not be seen at all, leaving only


    emptiness.


    At this moment, a Cayenne drove over silently. The backseat window was rolled down, revealing a


    stunning face. The man’s facial features were perfect, his nose bridge was high, and his eyes were


    exquisite and moving.


    It was Daniel.


    “Why are you here?” Olivia asked ke to go back first and got into the


    car.


    As she spoke, her phoenix eyes curved slightly, and her originally aloof face instantly became lively. It


    was as if a hundred flowers had just bloomed.


    Daniel turned around and said in a deep and warm voice, “I’m here to pick you up.”


    Olivia pursed her lips, but she could not suppress the smile on her face. In the end, she chuckled.


    Olivia looked down and asked, “Aren’t you going up?” Logically speaking. since Daniel was here, he


    should go up and pay his respects to Old Mr. Green.


    Daniel shook his head. “I don’t have time to do that. I have business to


    do.”


    “What business?” Olivia was curious.


    Daniel said seriously, “I’m driving a pumpkin cart to pick up the princess to the ball.” After knowing


    everything that happened at the birthday banquet, he could no longer remain calm. He set aside


    everything and


    ran over.


    “Hahaha.” Olivia bit her lip and could not help butugh out loud.


    The tinklingughter echoed in the car. It seemed like a long time since she hadughed like this. It


    had been so long that she had almost forgotten how tough.


    Daniel looked sideways at her intently. His deep eyes were filled with


    heartache and pins


    Why was this wird so stupid


    On the xurtare, she was always calm, as if she would not be defeatedby


    tyy resting she hid all her sadness and helplessness deep in her heart and did not show it at all


    veryone thought that she was extremely powerful and confident. No matter how much she was hurt,


    she would not be sad and would get back on her feet quickly. They naturally begged her for protection,


    as if relying on her was a matter of course,


    But who said that intelligent and powerful people wouldn’t feel hurt? Daniel clearly remembered how


    much she had looked forward to her biological mother back in Tanser.


    She said that her mother was the gentlest in the world. Although she had lost many of her memories,


    she remembered that her mother was always smiling at her. Her mother would dress her up, brush her


    beautiful hair. teach her how to y the violin, and say to her every day, “I love you, Olivia. I love you


    the most.”


    Even after so many years, Daniel still remembered how happy Olivia looked when she mentioned her


    mother. She smiled like a happy kitten that had stolen a fish.


    Olivia must have experienced something sad back then. She told him that she had lost her home, that


    she could not go back to her home, and that her beloved sister did not want her anymore.


    Therefore, she couldn’t go back.


    She needed to find her biological parents.


    As she spoke, sheforted herself by saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay. My sister doesn’t love me, but my


    biological parents love me, I still have a family


    But now, when Daniel thought of what Samuel and Amelia had done, his eyes suddenly turned gloomy,


    and his expression was terrifyingly darkened.


    He raised his hand to cover Olivia’s eyes and said in a suppressed voice,


    Stopughing. If you’re sad, just cry. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.


    Olivia was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously blinked twice. She

    heartache and pity.


    Why was this girl so stupid?


    On the surface, she was always calm, as if she would not be defeated by anything.


    In reality, she hid all her sadness and helplessness deep in her heart and did not show it at all.

    Everyone thought that she was extremely powerful and confident. No matter how much she was hurt,

    and his expression was terrifyingly darkened.


    He raised his hand to cover Olivia’s eyes and said in a suppressed voice, “Stopughing. If you’re sad,


    just cry. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”


    Olivia was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously blinked twice. She


    Balionaire’s Missing Darling


    was flustered that she had been seen through.


    ?yours:


    However, her panic onlysted for a moment. She quickly calmed down.


    She raised her hand and pulled his hand that covered her eyes down. She smiled and looked at Daniel


    with a moving gaze. “I’m not sad.”


    Daniel looked at her slightly red eyes and remained silent. After a while, he smiled brightly and said,


    “My dear princess, we’ve arrived at the ball. May I have the honor to invite you to dance?”


    “Alright.” Olivia smiled brightly as if the panic and heartache just now were just an illusion.


    The ce they arrived at was a very private club, which had everything one could imagine and have


    fun with.


    Back then, Daniel used to be a young and frivolous yboy. He was backed by his father, and his


    uncle had taken over Sullivan Group. He started his own business in the Inte field. He had already


    decided not to take over the Sullivan family’s business, so he was free of pressure and was very


    yful.


    He had tried all the kinky things that those young masters currently enjoyed doing.


    Daniel held Olivia’s hand and entered through an ordinary–looking door. He took a green ribbon from


    the waiter and said to Olivia, “Close your eyes.”


    Olivia had just closed her eyes when she felt a ribbon wrapping around thern.


    It was pitch–ck in front of her, but she was not afraid at all. She only trusted Danielpletely and


    let him lead her forward.


    After walking for a long time, she heard a voice. “We’re here.”


    The ribbon slid down, the music was yed, and her eyes suddenly lit up..


    What happened next made Olivia feel like she was in a dream. She couldn’t regain her senses for a


    long time.


    It was as if she was in an anime kingdom. There were Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, the Little Mermaid,


    Winnie the Pooh, the Powerpuff Girls, the Astro Boy, and so on. In addition to these cartoon characters,


    there were also huge pumpkin carts, castles, and strange flying saucers. Just as she was in a daze, a


    Little Fairy walked up to her and said, “Cindere, haven’t you changed your clothes? The ball is about


    to


    Pahorare’s Missing Darling


    begin.


    As she spoke, she pulled her hand and ran to the side.


    Olivia looked back at Daniel.


    Daniel nodded. “Go quickly. I need to change my clothes too. The ball is about to begin.”


    Olivia changed into a blue dress and tied a beautiful sapphire blue ribbon on her head. She wore


    crystal shoes and lifted the hem of her dress as she walked out.


    The cartoon characters on the road made way for her and said, “Oh my god, where did this princess


    come from? She’s so beautiful. The prince will definitely ask her to dance the first dance.”


    Mickey and Minnie stepped forward, took Olivia’s hand, and led her forward.


    The huge crowd made way for the three. At the end of the path, the prince was waiting for Olivia.


    Daniel was wearing a dark green tuxedo with golden leaves embroidered. on it. The slightly fitting


    clothes outlined his slender and perfect figure. He stood there and appeared elegant and noble.


    The ce was filled with all kinds of strange animated characters, but they still couldn’t steal his light.


    It was as if he could glow. Just by standing there, he attracted everyone’s attention, making it


    impossible for them to look away.


    Daniel walked up to her and extended his right hand. “Beautiful princess, can I ask you to dance?”


    Olivia performed an aristocratic bow and ced her fingertips on his palm.


    Just then, the music started and all the animated characters started dancing around them.


    Olivia danced with Daniel and felt as if she was in a fairytale kingdom.


    Daniel whispered into her ear, “Do you like it?”


    Olivia looked up, her eyes shining like stars in the sky. “Yeah. Thank you.”


    At this moment, Olivia finally saw the dazzling and beautiful world beyond the dark thorns.


    Chapter 142


    After the song ended, the surrounding anime characters retreated one after another, leaving arge


    space for Olivia and Daniel.


    The two were still holding hands. Olivia smiled and was about to say something.


    An orange–yellow Garfield cat ran toward the two of them. Olivia was stunned for a moment before she


    was hugged by Garfield. “Beautiful princess, are you satisfied with the ball?”


    It was Garfield’s unique and silly voice.


    Olivia chuckled. It was rare for her to have such a mischievous thought. She raised her hand and


    tapped on Garfield’s orange nose. “I like it very much.”


    It had been a long time since she had been so happy. It seemed that after returning from the bottom of


    the cliff, she rarely smiled, and her personality had be much calmer.


    Sometimes, Olivia could barely remember what she used to look like. Now that she saw so many cute


    anime images, she felt like she had returned to her childhood.


    At that time, she was naughty and mischievous. She often teased Jarron and Gillian. Every time this


    happened, her grandpa would be so angry that he wanted to hit her with a broom. Jarron chased after


    her and yed with her while Gillian smiled gently at the side.


    When she was tired from running, Gillian would bring over a ss of cool lemonade. After Olivia took a


    sip, she could feel the chill. It was so refreshing that she feltforted all over.


    How happy she was back then.


    Young Olivia stood on a tall rock and looked at her grandfather, Jarron, and Gillian. She felt that all of


    this was extremely blissful. She had to protect all of the people she loved.


    Actually, she didn’t really like to study medicine. She preferred to y the violin and paint, but she had


    to protect all of the people she loved, so she focused on learning medicine from her grandfather.


    She wanted to rece her grandfather as the next backbone of the Smith family. She wanted to keep


    all the people she loved safe. She was clearly the youngest, but she had the greatest responsibility.


    But then, when did things start to go wrong?


    Olivia had always prided herself on being sensitive, perceptive, and observant. But why did she fail to


    notice the change in Gillian?


    Did Gillian hide her intentions too well? Or did Olivia trust her too much and subconsciously never think


    that she would hurt her?


    After a moment of daze, Olivia quickly came back to her senses. She liked Garfield and could not help


    but rub its fluffy face.


    Garfield imitated the tone in the movies and eximed, “Don’t mess up my handsome face.”


    Olivia chuckled.


    Seeing her smile, Garfield seemed to be very happy. It took off the chubby toy cat’s head, revealing a


    beautiful and adorable face.


    It was actually a cute young girl.


    Olivia was stunned for a moment before she smiled and praised, “Your eyes are so beautiful like those


    of a deer.”


    The girl covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she tilted her head and looked at Daniel, “Mr. Sullivan


    said the same thing.”


    She looked at Daniel with watery eyes that seemed to contain deep emotions. “Mr. Sullivan, do you still


    remember me?”


    Daniel nced over at the girl. He had always been very good at memorizing things and people, but no


    matter how skillful he was, it was impossible for him to remember everyone he had seen. He had no


    impression of this girl at all.


    However, what kind of person was Daniel? After thinking for a moment, he guessed that the girl should


    be the new secretary in charge of this ball. Ellis had been busy with the bidding and had no free time at


    all. Moreover, the matter had happened so suddenly that she really could not spare any manpower, so


    she asked the new secretary to be in charge here. “You’re Ms. Mil-” He wondered if he was the new


    secretary.


    Before Daniel could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the girl’s excited voice. “You really


    remember me? Yes, I’m Zo Milton!”


    Daniel didn’t speak.


    Actually, he couldn’t remember her full name.


    Daniel had no impression of her at all. However, he was well–mannered and would not embarrass the


    secretary in front of everyone. Hence, he


    nodded casually.


    The ball had already ended. Daniel knew that Olivia had not eaten much at the birthday banquet. She


    must be hungry by now. The two of them went to change and went to the dining room to eat.


    Zo apanied Olivia and secretly sized up Olivia along the way. asionally, Olivia noticed her


    and turned to look at her. Zo smiled foolishly and said sincerely, “You’re Ms. Taylor, right? You’re so


    beautiful, like a fairy.”


    Olivia’s eyebrows rxed, and her tone was mischievous. “Have you seen a fairy?”


    Zo scratched her head in embarrassment. “No, but I believe that if there are really fairies, they should


    look like you.” As she spoke, her tone was a little disappointed. “I once imagined how Mr. Sullivan’s


    wife would look like. I always felt that no woman could match up to him. It wasn’t until I saw you that I


    realized what it means to be a perfect match. The two of you are really a match made in heaven.”


    The girl chattered non–stop. She was very good at talking, but because of her sincere expression, she


    was not annoying.


    Olivia listened attentively and asionally echoed.


    After changing her clothes, Olivia sat on a chair with a stylist helping her with her hair.


    Zo sat at the side and held her chin. She looked at Olivia. “Ms. Taylor, do you know how I met Mr.


    Sullivan?”


    Olivia nced at her and nodded slightly, indicating that she was all ears. Zo’s voice was gentle as if


    she was recalling something beautiful. “I didn’te from a good family. My father died early, and my


    mother wasn’t in good health, so I studied hard since I was young, hoping to get into a good university,


    go to a big city, and earn a lot of money to treat my


    mother’s illness. I was lucky. I performed exceptionally well on the SAT and got into a first–rate school.


    “Unfortunately, God didn’t favor me. Not long after I entered university, my mother was diagnosed with


    stomach cancer and needed arge sum of surgery fees. Helpless, I had to work at a strip club…”


    At this point, she paused and looked at Olivia in embarrassment. “Do you know what that means?”


    Olivia nodded. “Sort of.” Her expression was calm without any emotions.


    onure’s Missing Darling


    There was no pity or sympathy, nor was there any disdain. It was as if it was just an ordinary matter,


    which made Zo heave a sigh of relief. She continued, “Because I graduated from a famous school


    and was quite pretty, I was offered a high price for my first time, which wasn’t a lot of money actually.


    However, God favored me once again back then. I had an opportunity. As long as I could be chosen by


    that distinguished guest, I could get 100 thousand dors.


    “Before I went for the job, I thought it would be an old guest or some guy with a weird fetish, but when I


    pushed the door open and entered, I was stunned. That was the first time I had seen such a good–


    looking guy. He was young and dressed casually. He was leaningzily on the sofa, and I could tell that


    he was very impatient.


    “He didn’t pick me. He didn’t even look at me impatiently. He waved his hand and asked me to leave.


    At that time, I was very scared, but this was myst chance. I had to grab it. I didn’t know how I got the


    courage to pounce on him and hug his leg.


    “You know what, Ms. Taylor?” Zo looked up at Olivia with a glint in her eyes. “It was at this moment


    that he told me that my eyes were really beautiful, like those of a deer.”


    曲


    Chapter 143


    “After that, things went very smoothly. After he found out about me, he gave me a lot of money to study


    and not do such things again.” Zo’s voice was very gentle. She sounded as if she could not bear to


    ruin her beautiful memory. “I said that I wanted to repay him, but he said that that wouldn’t be


    necessary. He told me that if I had to repay him, I needed to study hard and work at Sullivan Group


    after graduation to create profits for the group.”


    After saying all this, Zo looked at Olivia without blinking and asked seriously, “Can you understand


    how I feel? Mr. Sullivan is like a light that dispels all the darkness in front of me.””


    Standing at the side, the hairdresser who was helping Olivia with her hair couldn’t take it anymore. She


    felt like vomiting as she wondered, “Ew! It’s so gross!


    “Why could this woman be so shameless? She actually talked about how she met the guy in front of his


    girlfriend. Now that she’s done talking about it, she’s even asking if the girlfriend can understand how


    she feels?


    “She’s too shameless!


    “If it were me, I would definitely p this bitch and kick her out!


    “Damn her!”


    Olivia did not expect Zo to ask her that. She blinked twice, thought for a moment, and nodded.


    “You’re so lucky!”


    Zo’s eyes lit up as she looked at Olivia in surprise. “Do you think so too? I really feel like I’m the


    female lead in a novel who meets a CEO that can save me from trouble and…”


    Zo suddenly paused and looked up at Olivia. She made a face in embarrassment and said, “I’m


    sorry, Ms. Taylor. That’s not what I meant. I just think that I’m very lucky. Fate is such a wonderful thing.


    I’m very grateful to Mr. Sullivan. If I hadn’t met him, I might not be where I am today.”


    The hairstylist almost gritted her teeth in hatred as she thought, “Wonderful my ass. You’re just a


    shameless and scheming bitch!” Olivia looked up calmly and nced at Zo. She knew what Zo


    was thinking, but she was not as angry as the hairdresser.


    She also felt that it was very amazing like the plot in novels. The reason


    at it


    vouchers


    why novels were novels was that the plots in them were fictional and rare. In reality, Zo would’ve


    fallen back then. No one would save her at all.


    It was a miracle that she could meet Daniel.


    Olivia could empathize with Zo since they were both girls. A handsome man descended from the sky


    like a savior. No matter who it was, they would be tempted.


    Such beautiful and wonderful memories were worthy of being treasured. Olivia had no need or right to


    stop Zo from cherishing this memory. Olivia’s personality was like this. She was magnanimous,


    gentle, and benevolent. She could understand the thoughts of others. As long as those intentions were


    not bad, she was willing to tolerate them.


    “It’s okay.” She smiled at Zo and said gently, “This is your memory. You don’t need to apologize to


    me.”


    Zo was stunned.


    As if in disbelief, she looked up at Olivia and sized her up. She realized that Olivia was not unhappy at


    all but waspletely understanding her.


    Although she wanted to test if Ms. Taylor was magnanimous and worthy of Daniel, when she saw that


    Olivia really did not care and was magnanimous and merciful, Zo suddenly felt some indescribable


    complicated feelings in her heart.


    She felt joy, relief, and a hint of unwillingness.


    Was there really such a beautiful woman in this world? Olivia was bright, intelligent, gentle, and


    benevolent.


    How was that possible? Zo looked down and subconsciously bit her lower lip.


    She thought, “No, it can’t be. She must be faking it.”


    At the thought of this, Zo looked at Olivia calmly and asked, “Ms. Taylor, aren’t you curious?”


    She wanted to ask, “Aren’t you curious if Mr. Sullivan and I did it that night?”


    Olivia nced at her and did not say anything.


    Zo was a little anxious and subconsciously said, “Are you really not curious? That night-”


    Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Olivia’s indifferent voice,


    Palmiary’s Missing Darling


    Olivia looked at Zo, the sharpness in her eyes making people afraid to look at her directly. “Are you


    sure you want to continue?”


    Zo bit her lower lip, a hint of unwillingness hidden in the corners of her eyes.


    Olivia’s eyes were bright as she looked at Zo seriously. “You’re very cute now, but after this… you


    won’t be cute anymore. I’m sure you can’t bear to ruin such a beautiful memory.”


    These words were like a knife that stabbed into Zo’s heart.


    She looked up with difficulty and looked disheveled. After a while, she calmed down and muttered


    softly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean


    to…”


    “Apology epted,” Olivia interrupted her and walked to the door.


    After taking two steps, she suddenly looked back. “It’s not wrong to like someone, and it’s not wrong to


    pursue the person you love bravely. Only those with twisted and dirty thoughts, regardless of morals,


    disregarding thew, and only caring about their own thoughts, will taint that beautiful memory.”


    Zo’s body suddenly stiffened as she froze on the


    spot.


    Embarrassment surged into her heart. Sensing the mocking gaze from the stylist, she felt as if she had


    been stripped naked and all her unbearable thoughts were exposed under the sunlight. She felt despair


    and shame.


    Olivia had just walked out of the dressing room when she met Daniel, who was waiting there. She


    could not help but be happy. She quickly walked forward and asked him, “Why aren’t you waiting in the


    dining


    room?”


    Daniel turned to look at her. The light in his eyes was even more dazzling than the starlight. “I want to


    be closer to you.” As he spoke, he held his hand and walked toward the dining room.


    On the way, he asked, “Where’s Ms. Milton? Why isn’t she with you?” Olivia said, “She’s busy with


    something. She’lle over after she figures. it out.”


    Upon hearing this, Daniel did not speak, but he looked utterly happy.


    Olivia was puzzled. “What’s up?”


    Daniel was very happy. He was so happy that he could not help but look at her meaningfully. “You must


    be lying when you said that she’s busy


    You must


    with something. You’re trying to be alone with me, aren’t you?” Olivia was speechless.


    She really couldn’t understand his train of thought.


    Olivia was both angry and amused. In the end, she could not take it anymore and raised her hand to


    punch him. “How could you be so childish?”


    Daniel blinked. He suddenly grabbed her hand and wrapped it around his neck. Then, he bent his


    knees and hugged her waist. He carried her in one go. “My dear princess, sit tight!”


    He carried her in his arms.


    Olivia subconsciously hugged his neck.


    Daniel lowered his head and looked at her. He chuckled. “How good is it to be childish? I don’t have to


    grow up, and I don’t have to hide myself. I’ll always be innocent and happy.”


    Olivia was slightly stunned. Then, he continued, “Tonight is a fairy tale night. As the princess, you don’t


    have to grow up. You will always be innocent and childish. What do you think?”


    Daniel’s breathing suddenly got closer. He lowered his head, and the tip of his nose was almost


    touching hers.


    Olivia wanted to retreat, but she was in his arms and could not retreat at all. She could only blink her


    eyshes to hide the panic in her heart.


    “Do you know what I’m going to do next?” He smiled as he approached, his scorching breath tickling


    his ear.


    Olivia remained silent.


    Daniel snorted. “You can’t avoid me even if you don’t speak. I’m going to kiss you.”


    Olivia looked up.


    Daniel blinked. “It’s useless to look at me. You’re the princess in my arms. and at my mercy now. You


    can’t escape.”


    As he spoke, he leaned down and kissed her with the refreshing scent of a


    man.


    His scent was like him. It was elegant, sexy, noble, and had a hint of roguishness.


    Chapter 144


    While Olivia was being intimate with Daniel, trouble was going on in the Taylor family.


    William went to the banquetter. At that time, there was an urgent matter at thepany that had to


    be dealt with. He apologized to his grandfather in advance and said that he would bete. Therefore,


    when William arrived, the birthday banquet was almost over.


    It was chaotic inside. Most of the guests had already left. Among the members of the remaining two


    families, which were the Green and the Taylor families, Amelia had already fainted and was resting


    upstairs. Emma seemed to have been provoked. She was squatting in a corner while crying and


    laughing. Samuel’s face was pale, and the other members of the Green family had embarrassed


    expressions.


    As soon as William arrived, his cousin of the Green family ran forward. She looked like she was about


    to cry. “William, why are you here sote? It’s toote to deal with anything now.” After saying that, she


    sniffled and could not help butin. “Why didn’t you answer the phone?” William took out his


    phone btedly and realized that there were more than a hundred calls from his cousins of the Green


    family.


    As he was in a meeting with the higher–ups and dealing with thepany’s crisis, he muted his phone


    and did not notice the missed calls at all.


    William frowned and had a bad feeling. However, he was still the next leader of the Taylor family after


    all, so he could deal with the trouble. He walked straight to Old Mr. Green and asked in a low voice,


    “Grandpa, what happened?”


    Old Mr. Green waved his hand and looked as if he didn’t want to say anything. He just said, “Take your


    dad and Emma back now. I’ll ask Adam to go with you. Let him tell you what exactly happened on the


    way.”


    William frowned and felt that it was inappropriate. He called out, “Grandpa-”


    “Say no more.” Old Mr. Green interrupted him without hesitation and said, “This matter is a family


    matter of your Taylor family. You have to resolve it yourselves.”


    After saying that, he let out a long sigh. “I can’t believe it. How did things


    0034


    end up like this?”


    When Emma heard that they were going back, she shuddered and her body trembled even more. She


    shook her head vigorously. “I’m not going back. I’m not going back!”


    Old Mr. Green looked at her deeply. “If you go back and discuss it now, you’ll still have a chance. If this


    is dyed and Liam gets angry, he won’t care about you, and you’ll go to jail for real!”


    When the word “jail” was mentioned, Emma’s expression froze. She bit her lower lip tightly as tears


    streamed down her face.


    However, this time, she did not resist and obediently followed behind William.


    On the way back, William had already learned what had happened from his cousin, Adam Green.


    For the first time, the inheritor of the Taylor family, who had always been confident and could not be


    defeated by anything, rubbed his face helplessly.


    He looked at the car in front of him. There were Samuel and Emma in the car. Looking at the blurry


    backs in front of him, William felt a wave of mental exhaustion.


    He knew Emma’s identity and that she was his father’s bastard daughter. When he was young, he did


    not know the truth and doted on his sister for a while. Later on, when he grew up and his grandfather


    began to hand over a portion of the Taylor family’s power to him, he investigated Emma’s identity.


    At that time, he was kind and wanted to help her find her family. In the end, he identally discovered


    Evelyn.


    William put on a mocking smile. He had always known that his father doted on this bastard daughter,


    but he did not expect him to dote on her to this extent. Samuel did not care about the Taylor family’s


    reputation or his own bloodline. He insisted on destroying Olivia.


    When William thought of his mother, his wrist trembled. If one day, she found out that she had forced


    her own daughter to death for her husband’s bastard daughter, how would she react?


    She would definitely break down.


    When William’s sister went missing, his mother had already suffered once. He could not let his mother


    suffer again.


    As William thought of this, his gaze gradually became firm. He definitely could not let his mother know


    the truth.


    At this moment, the Taylor family’s ce was brightly lit.


    After Liam found out about this, he could not breathe for a long time. He took a quick–acting heart–


    saving pill before he calmed down.


    When Adam came over, he had the intention of watching the show. He wanted to see how Liam would


    teach Samuel a lesson. However, when he saw this situation, he had no other thoughts. He was only


    afraid and trembled in a corner, hoping to go home early.


    “All men, good or bad, rarely illtreat their own children. Samuel, you… you’re worse than a beast. How


    could you do such a thing? Is this something a father would do? Veins bulged on Liam’s forehead. He


    seemed extremely angry.


    Samuel knew that he was in the wrong, but he still retorted, “Who knows. about her rtionship with


    the Smith family? If she had-”


    Before he could finish his sentence, he was hit by Liam’s walking stick. “Shut up! How could you do this


    as a father? Don’t tell me that the family. who adopted Olivia is not of high status and you get to bully


    her as you please!”


    The more Liam spoke, the angrier he became. He couldn’t believe that his son was so muddle–


    headed.


    He wondered, “That’s his biological daughter. How can he not care at all?”


    Not only was Liam angry at Samuel’s cold–blooded ruthlessness, but he was also angry at his stupidity.


    Was he out of his mind? How could he fake a paternity test? Back then, everyone knew that the Taylor


    family had found Liam’s lost


    granddaughter, who had been missing for 18 years. Many people who were close to the Taylor family


    knew the inside story. They knew that the Taylor family had taken the initiative to find Olivia and


    acknowledge her as a family member.


    In the end, Samuel actually announced loudly that Olivia was the one who came knocking on his door


    to impersonate his daughter.


    Was there something wrong with his brain? Did he think everyone was a fool?


    This excuse could not withstand scrutiny at all. Even if someone believed him for a moment, after a


    long time, people would discover clues.


    :


    What kind of stupid man coulde up with such a stupid idea?


    For a moment, Liam was filled with grief and indignation. He deeply doubted his son’s intelligence.


    Even if Samuel had mental problems, he shouldn’t have done such a heartless, stupid, and vicious


    thing.


    As for Emma, Liam didn’t even want to scold her. Olivia had defeated her time and time again. Not only


    did she not learn her lesson, but she also made greater trouble. She was just like Samuel. The father


    and daughter were both idiots.


    They were simply too stupid.


    After taking a sip of water and suppressing his furious emotions, Liam turned to Emma. His gaze was


    complicated and difficult to read. “You’ve caused trouble. Solve it yourself. The Taylor family won’t


    stand up for


    you.


    “The evidence of your murder against Olivia is conclusive. There’s no way to refute it. Even if I set my


    prestige aside and plead for you on ount of you calling me grandfather for many years, I’ll just be


    disgraced again. It won’t help. The Taylor family isn’t strong enough to intervene inwsuits.”


    Emma froze. Her heart sank. She knew that her grandfather was really going to give up on her this


    time.


    Realizing this, Emma felt a surge of grief and indignation from the bottom of her heart.


    After so many years, her grandfather had never really treated her as family. He did not care about her


    at all.


    Could it be that she was sinned as a bastard daughter? Wasn’t her a part of the Taylor family? The one


    in the wrong was Samuel. He couldn’t control his desire, and she wasn’t born voluntarily.


    What did she do wrong? What right did her grandfather have to look down on her?


    Anyway, things were already like this. Emma did not want to suppress herself anymore. She might as


    well cause a ruckus. She wouldn’t allow others to have a good time since she was going down.


    She would let Amelia know her identity as a bastard daughter and let her be provoked. It would be best


    if she was provoked too much and died.


    Emma would make Olivia bear the infamy of killing her biological mother.


    Bilhotare’s Missing Darling


    Emma suddenly looked up at Liam with a vicious and toxic gaze.


    “Grandpa…” She chuckled and was about to speak.


    A sudden voice outside the door interrupted her.


    “I’ll beg Olivia to drop thewsuit. I’ll kneel to her!”


    It was Amelia. She was back.


    Comment


    Billionaire’s Missing


    Chapter 145


    It had only been two hours since theyst met, but William already felt that his mother’s mental state


    was worse.


    She was so thin that she looked like she would break down if the wind blew.


    William’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously went forward to support Amelia, but she waved her


    hand and refused.


    Amelia was still wearing the long dress from the birthday banquet. She was wearing a long trench coat.


    The coat seemed to be a little big and wrapped around her body, making her look even thinner.


    As soon as she stepped through the door, she went straight to Emma and hugged her tightly.


    Amelia’s eyes were extremely swollen. It seemed as if she had cried. Therefore, although her heart


    ached for Emma, she could not cry at all now. Her eyes were extremely dry.


    Seeing Amelia, Liam became even angrier. This silly couple made the trouble happen.


    It was one thing for Samuel to be heartless, but Amelia was Olivia’s biological mother. How could she


    be so ruthless?


    However, Liam had to suppress his anger when he saw his inw from the Green family following


    behind Amelia.


    Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Liam said, “How are you going to beg Olivia? Are you


    really going to kneel to her? Are you trying to force her into a corner?”


    Liam’s voice trembled when he said thest sentence. Even he, who had lived for so many years,


    could not withstand it, let alone a young girl like Olivia.


    What kind of mother would kneel to her daughter? Amelia was really trying to force Olivia into a corner.


    “I let Olivia down.” Amelia closed her eyes. Her body was trembling violently, and her throat seemed to


    stuck with something. Every word she said made her tremble in pain, but her tone was unusually firm.


    “But I can’t just watch her destroy Emmal”


    Amelia hugged Emma tightly. “I raised Emma. I failed to teach her well. It’s my fault. I’ll bear the


    responsibility for her mistakes!”


    Jillionaire’s Missing Darling


    William looked at Emma, who was buried in Amelia’s arms without saying a word. Then, he looked at


    his mother, who had a deste expression and was filled with regret. He felt extremely suffocated.


    “Mom…” His voice paused. “Since she has made a mistake, she can only bear the consequences


    herself. No one else can bear the consequences for her. Besides, Olivia has suffered so much. She


    won’t forgive Emma.”


    “You only know how to make sarcastic remarks! Emma is your sister!” Amelia roared and casually


    picked up the bolster on the sofa and threw it at him.


    William didn’t dodge. He just let the bolster smash his head to the side. He stood where he was without


    moving, but his hands were clenched hard.


    He couldn’t let his mother make any more mistakes. He said with difficulty, “Olivia is also my sister!”


    “You evil creature!” Amelia was furious. Her chest heaved violently, and she could not breathe properly.


    The guy from the Green family, Amelia’s brother, quickly went forward and patted her back to calm her


    down. Then, he looked at William unhappily. “Stop talking. You know that your mom is not in good


    health.”


    William looked up at Amelia. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t


    say anything when he saw her pale face.


    He looked down dejectedly. He would just let it go. He would protect his mother and never let her know


    the truth.


    Amelia took a while to calm down. Her slender fingers gripped the hem. of her shirt tightly. “I know


    Emma has hurt Olivia, but Emma really can’t go to jail. It’ll ruin her!”


    When she said this, Amelia’s face turned pale. She knew that the Taylor family had let Olivia down, but


    what could she do at this point? Was she really going to do nothing as Emma went to jail?


    Moreover, wasn’t Olivia fine?


    She was not hurt at all. Not only that, but she was also the granddaughter of the miracle–working


    doctor. She was a young scientist with a bright future and an outstanding lover, Daniel.


    But what about Emma? Her reputation had beenpletely ruined. After what happened today,


    everyone would look down on her with


    t.


    disdain. She could no longer stay in the upper–ss. Was she going to jail?


    Amelia wondered why Olivia couldn’t be more forgiving.


    Despair overwhelmed Amelia.


    She stood up with difficulty and looked at Liam. She said determinedly, “I know it’s Emma’s fault. I’ll


    apologize to Olivia. I’ll beg her. She can scold me or hit me. I’ll take it. I’m even willing to kneel to her as


    long as she lets Emma off!”


    “Amelia!” Seeing his sister like this, the eyes of the guy from the Green family turned red and his heart


    ached.


    Although he knew that it was not Olivia’s fault from the beginning to the end, he could not help but take


    his anger out on her.


    He wondered, “That girl is really too ruthless. She is vicious and does not leave any room for


    negotiation. Amelia is her mother, so it’s only right and proper to scold her a little. As a child, she


    disobeys her mother and is unfilial. What can she possibly do? She might as well drop dead!


    “If Olivia were my daughter and dared to treat me like this, I would. definitely kick her to death!”


    Amelia’s brother grabbed her hand and said gloomily, “I’ll go with you and beg her to let Emma go. If


    she doesn’t find it enough, she can hit me and scold me. I’ll kneel to her!”


    “Brother-” Amelia was heartbroken. “How can I let you do that? I’ll kneel. I’ll kneel until she lets Emma


    off and calms down. I’ll do everything it takes, even if it costs my life!”


    “Stop arguing. This matter started because of me. I’ll do it.” Samuel, who had been silent all this while,


    seemed to be moved and suddenly spoke.


    Although Amelia was extremely biased and his mind was not too clear, she still had a trace of


    rationality. When she heard Samuel Taylor say that he was going, she hurriedly shook her head.


    “No, you can’t do it!”


    Olivia had no feelings for Samuel at all. If he went, he would only anger her. It would be useless.


    “Why can’t I go?” Samuel’s face darkened. “Our Taylor family didn’t let her down in the slightest. You


    brought her into this world. I lost her, which gave her an opportunity. If it weren’t for me, would she have


    been adopted by a miracle–working doctor? Would she be where she is today?”


    Bulionire’s Missing Darling


    Samuel was furious. “Although Emma went a little overboard in some aspects, Olivia is fine, isn’t she?


    Why can’t she forgive Emma? Why does she have to be relentless? I think she’s spoiled!


    “At most, she can return to the Taylor family. We’ll treat her better and let her enjoy the love of family.


    Isn’t that all she wants?


    “She’ll have it!”


    Samuel was about to continue when he was interrupted by an exmation.


    “Mr. Liam, Mr. Liam, what’s wrong?!”


    Liam fainted.


    The living room was suddenly in chaos. No one could care less about who was going. They hurriedly


    called the family doctor over.


    The family doctor was nearby and arrived very quickly.


    After a series of examinations, the doctor announced the results. “Mr. Liam fainted because he was too


    angry.”


    “Why would he be so angry?” Samuel was anxious. Then, he seemed to have thought of something


    and said, “It’s all Olivia’s fault. It’s all that wretched girl’s fault. If it weren’t for her, the Taylor family


    wouldn’t have ended up like this!”


    Liam was originally conscious. His fingers were moving and he was about to wake up. However, when


    he heard Samuel’s words, he fainted again.


    He thought, “Son of a bitch!


    “Samuel must have been sent by God to punish me!“


    Chapter 146


    Liam was angered by Samuel and fainted. He hadpletely given up on this son of his. Not only was


    Samuel stupid, but he was also unreasonable.


    He actually wanted Olivia to thank him. He said that if he hadn’t lost Olivia, she wouldn’t have gotten


    the opportunity to be adopted by the miracle–working doctor.


    How could he even say that?


    Liam was so angry that his hands trembled. He fainted for half an hour before slowly waking up.


    After waking up, he no longer wanted to care about these things. He waved his hand. “Do whatever


    you want. It’s up to you.”


    He was old and could not care so much. His children and grandchildren would have their own good


    fortune. He would let them do whatever they wanted.


    After saying that, he chased everyone away. Only William was allowed to


    stay.


    “Grandpa.” William sat beside Liam and held his hand.


    Liam retracted his hand and said in a strong voice, “Don’t make it sound like you’re visiting a patient.


    I’m not dying yet!”


    William silently retracted his hand.


    Liam looked up at his proud grandson with a loving expression. Although Samuel was a bastard, he


    was notpletely useless. At the very least, he had given birth to William.


    Liam seriously instructed William, “Let your parents do whatever they want. Don’t interfere, and don’t


    get involved.”


    William frowned. “Since you don’t agree with Dad and Mom going to beg Olivia, why don’t you stop


    them, Grandpa?”


    “Stop them?” Liam said in a self–mockery manner, “If I could stop them, things wouldn’t havee to


    this point. I’ve already said what I should say, but they’re still stubborn and act on their will. Even if I


    forbid them on the surface, they’ll secretly do it. Moreover-”


    Liam paused for a moment and continued, “I have my own selfish motives.”


    Billionaire’s Missing Dailing


    William looked at him.


    “I want to see what kind of feelings Olivia has for your mother and the Taylor family. I want to see if


    there’s still room for negotiation.”


    After all, Olivia was Isaac’s granddaughter. Liam still wanted to try his best to repair their rtionship.


    William paused for a moment and frowned. He felt that his grandfather was delusional. With Olivia’s


    personality, if she was not extremely disappointed, why would she not leave any leeway?


    However, although he thought so, he did not say anything.


    Samuel and Amelia had already gone downstairs to the living room on the first floor. It was gettingte,


    and Amelia’s brother and Adam were going back.


    After sending her brother and nephew off, Amelia went upstairs to look for Emma. Emma had changed


    into a set of pajamas. She had the


    makeup on her face removed, making her pale face look even more pitiful.


    Amelia took one look and sobbed. Her heart ached so much that she was about to cry.


    “Emma, don’t worry.” She grabbed Emma’s hand and said firmly, “I’ll go to Olivia now and ask her to


    drop thewsuit.”


    As she spoke, she picked up the phone and was about to dial Olivia’s number.


    Emma kept her head lowered and remained silent, but she was smiling secretly.


    She was thinking, “Olivia, so what if the person who adopted you has a high status? It’s useless even if


    you’re smart and careful. No matter how many great advantages you have, they can’tpare to my


    trump card. “I have Amelia. As long as she’s around, you will forever be under my control!”


    Amelia had already found Olivia’s number in her address book. She dialed it without hesitation.


    The beeping sound rang out. After a while, the prompt tone came through. “Sorry, the subscriber you


    dialed is busy now. Please try again.ter.”


    Amelia frowned and looked impatient as she wondered, “She’s on the phone with someone. Who is


    she talking to sote at night?”


    Pngleze Miestog Dinding


    Looking at the time, she found that it was already 12 in the morning, It was almost midnight.


    Seeing what Amelia was doing, Emma said carefully, “Mom, it’s sote. Olivia should be sleeping now,


    Call her tomorrow.”


    “That won’t do.” Amelia refused immediately. Her expression was extremely darkened. “It will be too


    late by tomorrow. I have to call her as soon as possible. It’s just a phone call. It won’t dy her”


    Emma stopped talking.


    Two minutester, Amelia called again. Olivia’s number was still busy. She wondered, “Who is she


    calling? Why hasn’t she ended the call yet?”


    Amelia’s patience ran out. She could not wait for even a minute. She called directly and called again


    and again. She called for more than half an hour and called more than 100 times. However, Olivia was


    still on the phone.


    What was going on? Amelia became even more frustrated. Her phone was almost out of battery.


    Just then, a servant came in to deliver milk. Amelia said, “Lend me your phone for a while.”


    As she spoke, she took the servant’s phone and dialed Olivia’s number. She thought that Olivia was


    still on the phone, but she actually got through to her after two rings.


    Amelia’s grip on the phone tightened, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged.


    Olivia had actually blocked her.


    She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, extinguishing all her confidence.


    At this moment, Amelia didn’t feel sad but embarrassed.


    She was not sad that her daughter hated her and blocked her. Instead, she was embarrassed by her


    previous confident words.


    To think that she thought that Olivia still cared about her. As long as she asked, Olivia would agree.


    Emma was also quite shocked. She did not expect Olivia to really be angry, who actually blocked


    Amelia.


    Amelia took a deep breath and softened her tone. She was not as


    arrogant and self–righteous as before. “Olivia, I have something to talk to


    before. “Olivia, l’ha


    Bullionaire’s Missing Darling


    you about.”

    Amelia was not a stupid person. It was just that she had been too arrogant previously. In her


    impression, Olivia had always been an aloof and indifferent person, but she was used to giving in.


    Amelia thought that Olivia was still the same as before, who was used to giving in andpromising.


    However, she was stunned that Olivia had blocked her number.


    She realized that she could no longer treat Olivia with the same attitude as before. She was going to


    beg Olivia, and she couldn’t be domineering when she did it.


    When Amelia thought of this, her tone became even softer.


    She felt that since she was lowering herself, there was no reason for Olivia to be stubborn anymore.


    At most, she would throw a tantrum andin about the injustice. Amelia had already imagined


    Olivia’s response. Olivia was likely to be angry, indifferent, or aggrieved at most.


    Either way, Amelia had a way to deal with it.


    However, she never expected such an oue.


    The person who picked up the phone was not Olivia, but ke.


    “Mrs. Taylor.” ke’s voice was gentle and pleasant. “It’s sote. Are you calling for me?”


    Amelia’s expression stiffened. After a while, she said with a hint of doubt, “Isn’t this Olivia’s number?”


    ke exined gently, “It’s like this. Miss Olivia said that this number is not good, so she didn’t want


    it.”


    “She changed her number?” Amelia sounded anxious. “Do you know her new number?”


    ke nodded. “Yeah.”


    Amelia asked, “What is it?”


    ke smiled. “I guess this has nothing to do with you, Mrs. Taylor. I can’t tell everyone about our young


    lady’s phone number.”


    After saying that, ke hung up the phone with a bang,pletely ignoring Amelia’s angry gasp.


    Chapter 147


    How dare Olivia hang up on her? Amelia was furious. She wished she could immediately pull ke


    over and give her a tight p.


    She thought. What an unruly ve! She pissed me off!”


    It seemed that she could not get through to Olivia. Amelia frowned and immediately instructed the


    servant to get the chauffeur to go to Olivia’s ce overnight to bring her over.


    The chauffeur hesitated and looked up. When the maid saw him, she immediately scolded, “What are


    you looking at? Hurry up and go!”


    The chauffeur was a simple–looking but meticulous person. He scratched his head and said in a


    troubled tone, “It’s the middle of the night. I’m afraid I’ll scare Miss Olivia if I go over at this hour.”


    What he said made sense. The maid nodded and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll go upstairs and ask Mrs.


    Amelia about it.”


    A momentter, the maid jogged down while panting heavily. “Mrs. Amelia said not to dawdle. She


    asked you to go over quickly. You must bring Miss Olivia back before dawn.”


    After the chauffeur left, the maid secretly muttered, “Mrs. Amelia isn’t close to Miss Olivia at all since


    she didn’t raise her by her side. She doesn’t take Miss Olivia’s needs into consideration at all. Although


    the chauffeur is an acquaintance to the family and has worked for them for a long time, one has to be


    careful in the middle of the night.


    “If I had a daughter, I definitely wouldn’t have let a man pick her up alone. in the middle of the night.


    “That’s not safe at all!”


    Upstairs, Amelia told Emma to go to bed first while she waited.


    How could Emma sleep at this time? She shook her head and leaned into Amelia’s arms with a pale


    face. She said softly, “Mom, you’ll go to sleep. I’ll wait.”


    Amelia shook her head. “You’ll go to sleep. Don’t worry about me. You need to have a good sleep.


    Don’t think about anything and don’t worry. I’m here. When Olivia arrives, I’ll tell her. You don’t need to


    see her.”


    Emma said coquettishly, “Then you will sleep with me and go downstairs when Olivia arrives.


    .


    “That won’t do.” Amelia tapped the tip of Emma’s nose and said, “If I wake up after taking a nap, I’ll


    have a headache. I won’t feel well for the rest of the day. I might as well not sleep and wait for her to


    come.”


    Emma nodded. “I’ll wait with you, Mom.”


    Seeing Emma’s firm attitude, Amelia could only nod helplessly in agreement.


    About an hourter, the chauffeur called and said that there was no one at Olivia’s ce and that he


    did not know where Olivia was.


    Amelia frowned. Thinking that Olivia had returned to school, she asked the chauffeur to pick Olivia up.


    After a while, the chauffeur called again and said that Olivia was not in school.


    She wasn’t in her small apartment, nor was she in school. Could she be at the Sullivan family’s


    residence?


    Amelia looked at the time. It was already past two in the morning. She definitely could not call the


    Sullivan family at this time. It would be too disturbing. She could only wait for dawn.


    At the thought of this, Amelia was filled with anger as she thought, “Olivia is just so casual. It’s really


    embarrassing for a girl to live in the man’s house before they get married.”


    She had wasted an entire night. She couldn’t even get through to Olivia, let alone see her.


    After settling Emma down and telling her to rest, Amelia went downstairs angrily and met Samuel on


    the way.


    After knowing what happened, Samuel frowned and said, “We can’t just wait. What if she’s not at the


    Sullivan family’s ce?”


    Hearing this, Amelia panicked. “Then what should we do?”


    Taylor thought for a moment and said, “Get a private investigator to investigate. We have to get her cell


    phone number tonight and meet her


    tomorrow.”


    This was a good idea. Amelia nodded in agreement.


    Local wealthy families like the Taylor family had a lot of local power and connections.


    Although Samuel was not the head of the family, others would still show him respect.


    1 vouchers.


    Soon, he contacted thergest detective agency in Evervale. He called the CEO of the detective


    agency and asked him to get Olivia’s number tonight.


    The CEO of the detective agency was very confident. He said that he would definitely get Olivia’s cell


    phone number tonight. He had connections with the telmunications operators and could get her


    number in a few minutes.


    Five minutester, Samuel’s phone rang.


    Samuel’s eyes lit up. He waved his phone at Amelia, indicating that he had got Olivia’s number.


    Amelia was overjoyed. She told Samuel to put the phone on speaker so that she could memorize the


    number.


    The call was connected. Samuel was about to speak when the CEO of the detective agency


    comined.


    At this moment, the CEO of the detective agency was no longer as confident and high–spirited as he


    was five minutes ago. He was utterly discouraged. He said, “Samuel, what you told me to do almost got


    me killed! Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you wanted me to investigate a confidential number?


    Not only I but also my friend got implicated. He’s already under control. The higher–ups suspect that


    he’s a spy from another country and wants to steal our country’s important scientific research results! I


    can’t even keep myself safe now. You’re such a bastard!”


    The CEO of the detective agency really wanted to go back to eight minutes ago and p himself


    unconscious. If only he couldn’t hear his phone ring at that time and didn’t answer Samuel’s call.


    There was no time to waste. He hung up and had to figure out how to absolve himself from what he


    did.


    Samuel and Amelia looked at each other. The two of them were dumbfounded. They couldn’t


    understand at all. They just tried to get Olivia’s cell phone number. How was it rted to spies?


    After a long while, Amelia came back to her senses and asked hesitantly, “Is it because of her research


    results that got her the Lasker Award?”


    Before Samuel could speak, she denied it. “It can’t be. That research paper has already been


    published. It’s not confidential at all.


    But what other reason could it be?


    Bilionaire’s Missing Tarling


    #5 vouchers


    Amelia could not figure it out at all. Could Olivia have other hidden identities?


    Samuel was also confused.


    The private investigator had no clue, so the two of them could only think. of something else.


    “We can only use a stupid method.” Samuel frowned. “Arrange for some guys to guard the school and


    her apartment outside the school. Tell them to bring Olivia here as soon as they see her. As for the


    Sullivan family, I’ll contact Daniel tomorrow.”


    Amelia nodded helplessly. That was the only way.


    She was stunned. She didn’t understand why it was so difficult for her to see her biological daughter. It


    was already the information age, but she still had to use the old method to find Olivia.


    After a busy night, she didn’t even get Olivia’s phone number.


    Amelia felt that it was unbelievable. She remembered that it was very easy to contact Olivia in the past.


    The call went through instantly and she arrived not long after.


    It was also very convenient to go to school to find her. Amelia would be able to see her after waiting at


    the entrance for a while.


    At that time, it seemed easy to see Olivia. She seemed to always appear around Amelia.


    But now, she seemed to have suddenly disappeared without a trace.


    Amelia was at a loss for a moment. She lowered her head and looked at her phone. Her fingertips


    lingered on the familiar number for a long time before she finally pressed the button.


    Although Olivia didn’t use this number, this was the only way Amelia could contact her.


    It was still ke who answered the phone.


    Amelia wanted to say something but did not know what to say. After a while, she said, “It’s so hard to


    contact her. Can you tell me her new number? Please.”


    For the first time, this proud and elegant noblewoman lowered herself and begged someone.


    This time, ke did not reject her directly. After a while, ke sighed and said, “In the past, you could


    contact her at any time because she


    cared about you and wanted you to get to her. But now, she doesn’t love you anymore. You won’t be


    able to find her anymore.”


    Amelia’s eyes stung and she subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. “What do you mean?


    What do you mean by that?”


    “Stop wasting your time. She doesn’t want to see you. You won’t get to her.


    Chapter 148


    Ameliapletely lost control of her emotions. When she spoke, her voice was hoarse and sharp.


    “That’s bullshit. You’re talking nonsense!”


    ke chuckled. Her tone was so calm that it was as if she did not care about anything. “If you think I’m


    talking nonsense, so be it. Think whatever you want.”


    With that, she hung up.


    Amelia stared at the silent phone with her eyes wide open. She did not speak for a long time, as if she


    had fallen into a nightmare.


    On the other hand, Samuel looked disdainful. He sneered and said, “Did she really say that we can’t


    get to Olivia if she’s trying to avoid us? Does she really think she’s some big shot? She’s so arrogant. I


    don’t believe that we can’t get to her!”


    Since the private detective couldn’t handle it, he would use a stupid method. Samuel directly arranged


    for dozens of bodyguards to guard the ces where Olivia might show up. He even arranged for his


    men to take turns to guard the Smith Cuisine Hall.


    He did not believe that he could not get to Olivia, who was just a young girl.


    No matter how powerful the Smith family was, the members were just doctors. They might be able to


    get to know some big shots. Those big shots would provide some protection to the Smith family.


    However, no matter what, the Smith family members were just doctors. They could not be considered


    big shots.


    Samuel was just unwilling to offend the Smith family, but that did not mean that he was afraid of the


    Smith family.


    Samuel took action aggressively. In just two days, he was called back by Liam with a livid expression.


    Liam asked right away, “Did you go to investigate Olivia?”


    Samuel frowned. “What’s wrong? If I don’t investigate her, how can I find her?


    Seeing Samuel’s matter–of–fact expression, Liam was so angry that his chest and mouth hurt. He


    pointed at Samuel for a long time but could not say anything.


    Samuel got unhappy. “Dad, I’m not doing anything excessive. I just want


    Bonaire’s Missing Darling


    vouchers.


    to see her. Can’t I do that?”


    Liam closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Now was not the time to be angry. He had to quickly


    withdraw those bodyguards.


    He did not waste his breath on Samuel. With a wave of his hand, two teams of burly men in suits came


    up from both sides. They lifted Samuel and ran upstairs.


    Samuel was dumbfounded. He turned around and shouted at Liam,


    “Dad, what are you doing?”


    Liam sneered and rebuked, “I’m not doing anything excessive. I just don’t like you and want to lock you


    up. Can’t I do that?”


    Samuel was speechless.


    He was stumped. After a while, he came back to his senses and began to struggle. “Dad, what are you


    doing? Are you senile? Why are you locking me up?”


    After all, he had lived like a prince for decades. This was the first time Samuel was in such a sorry


    state. He could not take it and kept struggling unwillingly.


    Liam closed his eyes and said indifferently, “You’re my son. I brought you into this world. Without me,


    would you have the opportunity to enjoy the wealth you have?”


    Samuel frowned. Why did these words sound so familiar?


    Before he could figure it out, he was already locked in the room on the second floor.


    William kept staring at Samuel until his gaze was blocked by the door. He frowned and looked at Liam.


    “Grandpa, isn’t this too much? Dad is just-”


    Before he could finish, Liam raised his hand to stop him.


    He recalled his old friend’s call this morning. “Brother, you’re muddle–headed. You need to keep


    Samuel in control now. Otherwise, it will be toote.”


    At that time, Liam was at a loss. After asking, he found out what ridiculous thing Samuel had done. At


    that time, although he felt that Samuel’s actions were ridiculous and a little overboard, he did not think


    much of it. He even joked with his old friend, “Toote? Is the end of the worlding?”


    His old friend did not make a sound for a long time.


    Only then did Liam realize that something was wrong. He asked, “What happened exactly?”


    His old friend sighed and asked, “Do you know about Sk?”


    Liam frowned and said anxiously, “Stop beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say


    it!”


    “s!” His old friend sighed. “Your granddaughter, Olivia, is the person in charge of Sk Technology.


    Not only does she own the core technology, but she also has great authority. As long as it doesn’t


    involve confidential information, she can use cameras and databases from all over the country. This is


    a matter that concerns the country’s information security!


    “Samuel’s rash investigation has already angered the higher–ups. They even thought that he wanted to


    steal the country’s secrets. If I hadn’t stopped him and exined his rtionship with Olivia, Samuel


    would have been secretly imprisoned!”


    “What did you say?” Liam was shocked. His temples were throbbing. He held onto the sofa with his left


    hand to prevent his body from going limp.


    “She’s the person in charge of Sk Technology?” Every word Liam said made his chest throb


    violently, making him dizzy.


    “That’s not all!” His old friend’s voice was low. “There’s something even more powerful. Do you know


    Nimbus Gaze? She’s the leader. Your granddaughter is amazing.”


    Liam was utterly stunned. He was hearing noises, and his vision turned ck. He did not know how


    long it took before he calmed down.


    No wonder Olivia always brought a recording pen and recording equipment with her. Previously, Liam


    had always thought that it was because of her cautious personality.


    Now it seemed that it was just a professional habit.


    After Liam came back to his senses, he nced at William and said in a low voice, “I can’t indulge your


    dad anymore. The Taylor family can’t take any more torture.”


    William was extremely puzzled. How could Samuel drag the Taylor family down?


    He merely ordered a few bodyguards. Was the Taylor family unable to protect Samuel?


    bullionaire’s Missing Darling


    However, no matter how William asked, Liam did not say anything. He only shook his head and let him


    go.


    At the same time, the Green family was having the same conversation. For the first time, Old Mr.


    Green, who had always doted on his daughter, told Amelia that if she dared to pester Olivia again, he


    would show no mercy and disown her.


    His words were so decisive that even Isabe, who had been through many ups and downs with him,


    was frightened and did not dare to persuade him.


    On the other side, Olivia received a call from one of the people in charge of Sk. He told her, “Don’t


    worry, the Taylor family won’t pester you anymore.”


    Olivia nodded and thanked him before hanging up. Then, she sat


    obediently on the sofa and ate some snacks while waiting for Daniel toe out of the meeting.


    The expression on her face was calm, and no one could tell what she was thinking.


    A few days ago, ke had asked her if she should think of a way to avoid Samuel and Amelia’s


    pestering. Although it would cause her some trouble, and people might gossip about her if she did it,


    she could not always be pestered by them.


    At that time, Olivia did not speak.


    ke thought that she cared about kinship and still had feelings for Samuel and Amelia, so she did not


    say much.


    Actually, how could Olivia still have feelings for them? It was just that she didn’t need to face Samuel


    and Amelia at all.


    They weren’t at the same level at all. For instance, no kings would kill a small potato in person as they


    had thousands of fierce generals under theirmand. Therefore, there was no need for the kings to


    personally take action.


    It was the same for Olivia. She did not need to face Samuel and Amelia at all. All she needed was a


    phone call to strike them at a higher level.

    Comment


    Chapter 149


    The Taylor family’s matter was very serious. Almost all of Evervale’s upper echelons knew about it.


    Emma had been convicted. Liam did as he said and did not interfere at all. It was only after Samuel


    and Amelia had secretly pulled a lot of strings and made a psychiatric assessment of her bipr


    disorder that they barely managed to get her out of jail under the guise of medical parole.


    However, even if she got out of jail, she couldn’t stay in Evervale. She couldn’t go overseas either.


    Amelia didn’t want to really send her to a mental hospital, so she could only find a beautiful ce in a


    county in Evervale to settle her down.


    Amelia nned to let Emma stay there for a few years and pretend to treat her illness. After her


    sentence was over and the rumors outside had calmed down, she would be sent overseas.


    As soon as Emma got out of jail, ke received the news and immediately told Olivia. She was


    indignant. “The Taylor family is way over the line! Do they think we’re easy to bully? Miss, should we


    deal with them…”


    Olivia was painting. Her head was lowered, and the loose hair at her temples hung down, outlining her


    perfect and smooth jawline. While ke was filled with righteous indignation, Olivia was painting a


    beautiful forest. During this period, her wrist was steady and the lines. were smooth without any pause.


    It was as if she waspletely unaffected by ke’s words. It was as if Samuel, Amelia, and Emma


    whom ke was talking about were just irrelevant people.


    After Olivia finished thest line, she put down her brush and interrupted ke. “Forget it. Let them


    be.”


    ke did not say anything. She thought that Miss Olivia still cared about the Taylor family. Just as she


    was about to think of a way tofort her, she heard Olivia say unhurriedly, “Don’t forget to collect


    evidence.”


    “Huh?” ke was still a little confused.


    Olivia’s voice was calm. “Since Emma doesn’t have bipr disorder, it means that they made fake


    evidence. Get this information. If theye to me and pester me again, we’ll make them all go to jail.”


    She waspletely fed up with the Taylor family’s pestering. Although she could strike them at a


    higher level, not everyone was smart enough to


    know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In particr, Samuel and Amelia considered


    themselves smart. It was necessary to hold back in case of emergencies.


    ke was speechless.


    She really wanted to go back to a few minutes ago and p herself. How could she doubt Miss Olivia’s


    wise decision?


    Olivia had a reason for everything she did. ke was stupid and couldn’t think of that solution, so she


    certainly didn’t need to doubt Olivia. She just had to listen to orders.


    Tracy had also heard about the Taylor family’s matter at the Smith Cuisine Hall. She called Gillian and


    told her what had happened in Evervale.


    When Gillian received the call, she was making Isaac a birthday gift. It was a maroon sweater. Every


    year on Isaac’s birthday, she would personally make a piece of clothing for Isaac.


    When Gillian heard that Olivia and the Taylor family had fallen out, she had a lot on her mind. Her hand


    paused and she made a mistake with her knitting.


    The knitting method of this sweater was veryplicated. If she made a mistake, she would have to


    remove a line of threads. She quickly stopped and began to remove the yarn, but she could not calm


    down no matter what. She could not help but think of Olivia.


    She recalled what Tracy had said just now. That day at Old Mr. Green’s birthday banquet, Samuel and


    Amelia had been aggressive and harsh. They had framed Olivia, saying that her character was inferior


    and that she had impersonated the Taylor family’s descendant. They had ndered her in all sorts of


    ways and treated her as an enemy.


    Gillian’s heart could not help but ache.


    She wondered, “Olivia must be very sad and desperate at that time!” Gillian finally could not control her


    emotions. She threw down the sweater and buried her face between her knees,


    Gillian had truly loved Olivia. During their youth, they grew up together, yed together, studied


    medicine together, and were close with each other day and night. They treated each other like


    biological sisters,


    Back then, Gillian had pushed Olivia down the cliff in a fit of anger. She had not nned it for a long


    time. After that, Gillian regretted it very


    much. She even fell seriously ill and had a high fever for three days and three nights. If not for Isaac’s


    superb medical skills, she might have suffered brain problems due to her fever.


    Although their rtionship was so tense now that they could no longer be as close as before, Gillian


    still hoped that Olivia could lead a good life. Gillian hoped that she could be happy as long as she did


    not return to the Smith family, did not fight with her for the hospital, and did not fight over Jarron.


    Gillian, who had been by Olivia’s side since they were young, knew Olivia very well. She knew that


    Olivia yearned and looked forward to her biological mother. She supposed that Olivia must be very sad


    now that her expectations had been shattered.


    Gillian wanted to call Olivia. She had already clicked open her contact list and found the phone number


    marked “Olivia“. However, she could not press the call button no matter how hard she ced her


    fingertip on it. In the end, she turned off her phone dejectedly.


    Things had changed. They were no longer close sisters. If Gillian called at this time, Olivia might


    misunderstand and think that she was calling to mock her.


    Gillianughed self–deprecatingly and felt that it was better for her not to make Olivia hate her.


    Because she was in a bad mood and could not sleep at noon, Gillian nned to go home.


    The Smith family’s ce was right next to the hospital. It was only about. 500 yards away. It was very


    close, and she could walk back.


    When Gillian arrived at the door, she took out the key and inserted it into the lock. Just as she was


    about to unlock the door, she suddenly remembered that Isaac was not at work today and was resting


    at home. He should be taking an afternoon nap at this time. She subconsciously quieted down, slowly


    turned the key, and gently pushed the door open. Just as she stepped into the house, she heard


    Isaac’s energetic voiceing from the balcony. “I’ll make it a grand one. Of course, it has to be a


    grand birthday banquet. I’m turning 80 years old this year.”


    Gillian chuckled. She knew that Isaac was calling to inform the Smith family members to attend his


    birthday banquet.


    In the past, Isaac’s birthday celebrations were simple every year. Basically, the few of them in the


    family would gather together for a meal. They


    would not even invite Tracy, Healix, and the others who were quite close to the family over for


    celebration.


    For some reason, this year, Isaac suddenly acted out of character. Not only did he have to hold a grand


    birthday banquet, but he also had to hold it in the Smith family’s old residence in Evervale.


    He had started to inform people a month in advance. It seemed like he wanted to call all the members


    of the Smith family over.


    Jarron said that Isaac was old and liked to be lively, just like a child. Gillian shook her head helplessly


    as she wondered, “He’s somewhat childish!” Just as she was about to turn around and close the door,


    she was stopped by Isaac’s proud voice.


    “Of course, I have something important to announce. Otherwise, why would I waste my time calling all


    the family members over? Hahaha, what is the important thing? I’ll tell you. It’s about the Smith family’s


    next family head. I want to have my youngest granddaughter, Olivia, take over the Smith family!”


    There was a bang.


    Gillian dropped her phone, which she had been holding.


    Hearing the noise, Isaac turned around. When he saw that it was Gillian, his eyes darkened for a


    moment. He hung up the phone and asked, “Why are you back?”


    Gillian’s mind went nk. Her vision turned ck and she felt weak all over. She was in aplete


    daze.


    Where was she? What had she just heard?


    She must be dreaming.


    Only after sheforted herself like this did her emotions gradually calm down.


    Isaac was a little worried about Gillian. He wanted to go forward, but Gillian raised her hand to stop


    him.


    She slowly stepped forward and approached Isaac.


    She tilted her head and asked softly, “Why, Grandpa? Can you tell me why?” She could not figure out


    what she had not done well enough. Was she not outstanding enough? Even if Isaac did not like her,


    she had Jarron.


    Jarron was already the youngest chief physician. If he was given another


    fonaire’s Ming Darling


    ten years, he would definitely be able to catch up to Isaac.


    Why did Isaac only have Olivia in his heart? What was so good about her?


    Rage rose from the bottom of Gillian’s heart and burned her rationality away. She wished she could


    destroy Olivia.


    She thought, “If only Olivia doesn’t exist in this world!”


    Chapter 150


    Isaac frowned when he saw Gillian’s crazy look.


    He had always known that Gillian was working hard to improve her medical skills and wanted to take


    over the Smith family. He had also taught Gillian everything he knew, but she wasn’t talented, which


    was something that could not be changed by hard work.


    Moreover, he had given Gillian and Jarron a chance, but they did not seize it. With their current level,


    they were not qualified to take over the Smith family.


    “Calm down.” Isaac wanted tofort Gillian first before exining to her.


    However, Gillian could not listen to him at all. Shepletely lost


    control of her emotions and red at Isaac with red eyes. “Calm down? It’s so hrious that you’re


    asking me to calm down. Grandpa, how can I calm down if you want to give the Smith family away and


    give my family to Olivia?”


    The more Gillian spoke, the more agitated she became. It was as if she wanted to vent all her


    grievances, all her unwillingness, and all her iprehension. “Grandpa, I don’t understand. You


    offered to adopt me, and I volunteered to give up my surname and join the Smith family. It’s fine if you


    don’t want to give me the Smith family’s surname, but Olivia’s surname is Taylor. She has only been


    thinking about her mother since she was young. How can such a person inherit the Smith family?


    “Could it be that I’m so unbearable that you’d rather hand the Smith family over to an outsider than give


    it to me?”


    When Isaac saw Gillian like this, his heart ached and he also got agitated. He hurriedly exined,


    “Gillian, don’t misunderstand. You’re not unbearable! I’m not giving you the surname Smith not


    because I despise you, but I just hope that you won’t be rash. You now have more options. Moreover,


    the surname has nothing to do with inheriting the Smith family.”


    “You always have all kinds of reasons!” Gillian smiled sadly. Her eyes were filled with despair and


    disappointment. She had an expression of extreme disappointment. “If you’re biased, so be it. Why find


    these dignified reasons for yourself?”


    “Gillian!” Isaac was helpless. “I’m not biased. I treat the three of you the


    Bonaire’s Missing Darling


    same!”


    “The same?” Gillianughed at what he said. “If you treat the three of us the same, why didn’t you


    teach me and Jarron medical skills at the beginning but only taught us after Olivia came over? Olivia is


    three years younger than me. When you found her, she was only five years old. She didn’t even know


    anything about medicine and was still in kindergarten. She waspletely ignorant. Can one learn


    medicine at such a young age? If she could learn it at five years old, why didn’t you teach me when I


    was that young?”


    Faced with Gillian’s question, Isaac was stunned for a long time. He hadpletely forgotten why he


    had taught them medical skills back then.


    He had no selfish motives for adopting the three of them, nor did he have any intention of letting them


    inherit his mantle. He just felt that the children were pitiful. Since he still had the strength to raise them,


    he adopted them.


    Therefore, he had no intention of teaching them medicine at all. He only hoped that they could grow up


    healthily and happily and choose a career they liked when they grew up.


    As for why he taught them medical skills? Isaac thought for a long time before his memory gradually


    became clear.


    It seemed to be because a patient came to him with the prescribed herbs and a prescription by chance


    and said that the prescription was useless. Not only was it useless, but it even worsened his condition.


    At that time, Isaac was very surprised. He subconsciously picked up the prescription and examined it


    carefully. Before he could see anything abnormal, Olivia had already untied the rope that tied the herbs


    with her fair and chubby hands. Her fair and chubby little finger pointed at a dry leaf. She frowned as


    she questioned, “The scuteria barbata is written on the prescription. You got lobelia chinensis lour.


    The two have different attributes. Of course, your condition got worse after you took the medicine!”


    Isaac was shocked and quickly went to look at the check the pile of herbs..


    The patient subconsciously wanted to retort, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the


    young girl’s crisp voice. “You took Grandpa’s prescription and had it filled randomly. You actually have


    the cheek toe back and use Grandpa. You’re a bad patient!”


    There were too many meanings in the little girl’s words. Isaac could not


    Balenaire’s Missing Darling

    react for a moment and was stunned. When he came back to his senses, the patient had already left in


    shame, leaving the little girl pouting and looking at the door angrily.


    She muttered, “What a bad guy! How dare he bully Grandpa!”


    Isaac, who witnessed everything, was dumbfounded. He did not even care about the patients queuing


    at the back. He picked up little Olivia and ced her on the table.


    He asked with a darkened expression, “How do you know so much? Who taught you? Did you learn


    medicine before?”


    At that time, he had just found Olivia for half a month. The little girl was very insecure because she had


    been abandoned. She always followed him. wherever he went. Even when he went to the toilet, she


    had to lean against the wall and wait.


    The little girl raised her pretty little face and was very confused by Isaac’s question. She asked in a


    childish voice, “What do you mean by know so much? Do I know much?”


    Isaac was rendered speechless for a moment and decided to ask another question. “How do you know


    about the scuteria barbata and lobelia chinensis lour?”


    The little girl blinked. “You said it a few days ago when you were drying the medicine, Grandpa.”


    “You memorized it just like that?” Isaac was shocked. Could she be a genius?


    Olivia was a little shy. She was actually not that smart. The reason why she remembered the medicinal


    herbs was because she thought that it took Isaac hard work to always dry the medicinal herbs, so she


    remembered them carefully and wanted to help him dry the herbs in the future.


    This way, Isaac wouldn’t be too tired.


    “What about the prescription? How do you know that the lobelia chinensis lour is written on the


    prescription?”


    Little Olivia frowned and thought for a moment. “When you prescribed medicine to the bad patient that


    day, you mentioned a few medicines. I remembered them.”


    Isaac nodded. He felt that it was still withinmon sense. If Olivia was a sinart child, she might really


    be able to remember others‘ words by


    IFFICU+77@Jk 18


    ident.


    The patient did not have his prescription filled at the hospital but went to another pharmacy, which was,


    however, not something that a five–year–old kid could possibly understand.


    Isaac asked how she knew,


    Little Olivia exined, “I heard from the guys in the pharmacy. They said that it’s easy for patients to


    have problems when they have their prescriptions filled privately. If there’s a problem, they don’t reflect


    on themselves. Instead, theye to the hospital to cause trouble. It’s very annoying. They also said


    that a doctor was beaten up by a patient. because of this. He was injured a lot and his head was


    broken. He bled a lot.”


    After saying that, Little Olivia lowered her head. Her eyes began to turn red. She did not want Isaac to


    be beaten up. She did not want him to bleed. That would be too painful.


    Hence, she kept it in mind.


    Not only this but there were many other things that she knew as long as it was about Isaac.


    The little girl was using all her strength to protect Isaac.


    From then on, Isaac treated Olivia differently. He began to truly love her and teach her, Gillian, and


    Jarron medical skills.


    However, although Isaac was touched by Olivia, he was an adult after all. He was rational and not


    biased. He treated the three of them equally.


    When Isaac was questioned by Gillian at this time, he wanted to exin, but he didn’t know where to


    start. If he merely defended himself with a simple denial, it would only make Gillian have a greater


    misunderstanding.


    For a moment, he was stunned.


    However, in Gillian’s eyes, his silence meant that he tacitly agreed.
