Chapter 149


    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!”
