Chapter 367
As Tracy arrived, she remained seated in her car, wrestling with a tumultuous internal conflict and a
profound sense of unease.
Over the past year, the Smith Cuisine Hall had experienced remarkable growth and maintained a
robust momentum. She was determined to avoid any unexpected disruptions, particrly when dealing
with someone as egocentric as Jarron.
She thought, ‘Hecked a clear understanding of the Smith Cuisine Hall’s current situation.
Nevertheless, he clung to Gillian’s data and rushed to me with unfounded chatter. It was truly
contemptible. At the very least, he needed to do his due diligence. Investigating the state of affairs at
Smith Cuisine Hall was a prerequisite before he could engage me.”
In fact, he arrived without making any prior preparations.
Tracy couldn’t discern whether it was due to his lower ability inparison to EQ, or if he had grown.
excessively confident, underestimating Olivia’s significance with the Grant family’s backing.
However, regardless, he failed to make a positive impression on Tracy.
However, even though Tracy held a secret favor for Olivia, he still harbored reservations about the
Grant family.
Olivia was undeniably intelligent andpetent, but it remained a fact that she was rtively young
and not as powerful. She might not measure up to the Grant family.
Sigh, what a predicament.
Tracy sighed.
When Tracy arrived at the Smith family’s vi, she spotted Olivia the moment she stepped into the
living
room
She sat on the carpet, engrossed in y with a charming young boy, Wrapped in a cozy, furry
housecoat, her long hair was neatly arranged in a bun ar the nape of her neck. A cute little bear clip
adorned one side of her ear, and her feet sported a unique pair of rabbit–eared socks.
Olivia appeared with a makeup–free face, resembling a sweet 18 or 19–year–old girl.
Upon witnessing this, Tracy was left in astonishment.
In Tracy’s perception, Olivia had consistently projected an image of an icy fairy or a self–assured
queen. He had never before witnessed her in such a tender and endearing light.
She resembled an innocent and unassuming young woman.
For a moment, Tracy experienced a sense of unease, growing even more uncertain. She harbored
genuine concerns that Olivia might not be able to prevail against Jarron.
“Tracy, you are here. Take a seat,” Olivia gestured, gracefully flipping her hair. Her eyes formed
crescent–shaped slits as she smiled.
Her excessive gentleness visibly unnerved Tracy to the point that he nearly slipped off the sofa.
In her thoughts, Tracy pondered, ‘Oh my god, is this really Olivia? That formidable and awe–inspiring
family leader! When did she be so tender?”
This is Aunt,” Olivia lowered her gaze and introduced her to Andrew.
Andrew was a well–mannered young boy. Upon hearing this, he rose from his seat and hurried
barefoot to Tracy’s side. With a serious demeanor, he tilted his head and greeted, “Hello, Aunt.”
He even introduced himself, saying. “My name is Andrew Sullivan. You can call me Andrew,”
“What an endearing youngd, Tracy observed Andrew with keen interest. The longer she looked at
him, the more the found herself drawn to his charm.
After Andrew greeted Tracy, he returned to Olivia’s side and considerately asked, “Olivia, do you need
to have a serious conversation with Auntie? Should I go upstairs to y?”
It’s okay, Olivia said as she lifted Andrew onto herp
Tracy observed how well the two of them got along and sighed inwardly. It was clear that Olivia
genuinely cared about young Mr. Andrew.
Then, she thought of Daniel and concluded that Olivia and Daniel made a highlypatible couple. It
was regrettable that Daniel had a child.
Andrew was still young and inexperienced, having a strong bond with Olivia. As he grew older, he
would gain a deeper understanding. Particrly when Olivia had his own child, there was no guarantee
he wouldn’t be disloyal.
The more she dwelled on it, the more distant her thoughts became.
Tracy promptly redirected her thoughts and shared the information about Jarron with Olivia, her tone
tinged with concern.
“Ms. Taylor, it appears that Jarron is involved in something dubious this time, and he has ties to family.
You need to exercise caution, Tracy cautioned.
the Grant
Olivia was helping Andrew building blocks. When she heard this, she raised his head and asked in a
tone of surprise, “Are you saying that Jarron came to seek your assistance even after everything?”
“Yes, Tracy nodded, his response swift and resolute. “But don’t worry. I’m firmly on your side. I won’t
allow myself to be drawn in by him.”
As they discussed this, Tracy’s worry deepened. “Ms. Taylor, you need to devise a n promptly.
Jarron must not have approached me alone. With the Grant family’s backing, things could take a turn
for the worse if all the n members side with him.”
Olivia lifted an eyebrow, maintaining a gentle expression without a hint of coldness or indifference. Yet,
the words that escaped her lips sent a shiver through Tracy’s heart.
“Why don’t you consider aligning with Jarron? You ought to support him,” Olivia suggested.
Tracy was taken aback by Olivia’s suggestion. She feared that Olivia didn’t trust her, so she hastened
to exin and swore her unwavering loyalty, vowing never to betray her.
“Ms. Taylor, rest assured, I stand firmly by your side. Nevertheless, the current circumstances appear
quite dire. You must swiftly devise a strategy to prevent the other n members from falling under his
influence. You should meet with them before he does and offer them incentives, Tracy advised.
“It doesn’t matter,” Olivia looked at her and spoke with indifference. “We don’t need to engage in a
direct conflict with Jarron. If he’s so eager to have you on his side, perhaps you should seriously
consider supporting him.”
“Why?” Tracy was utterly bewildered.
Olivia exined calmly, “Didn’t you mention that the Grant family intends to provide you with benefits?
Simply support him and secure those benefits for yourself.”
Tracy was utterly bbergasted. “Could it be that such an opportunity truly existed?‘
Olivia spoke in a hushed tone, “The Grant family’s arrogance knows no bounds. They’ve always
belittled others. This time, let’s make them face a significant setback. Reach out to the other Smith
family nsmen and initiate discussions. We’ll collectively demand benefits from the Grant family.
“Aren’t the Grant family powerful, wealthy, and influential? Just seize the opportunity, Don’t let go of the
eagle until you’ve caught the rabbit.”
Olivia was highly pleased with the block building. Leaning on her chin, she surveyed the surroundings,
and gestured toward Tracy. “Aren’t you considering opening a branch? There happen to be several
vacant spots on East Street. The location is prime, and the spaces are sizable – a fantastic opportunity.
You can ask to Jarron, and if you’re interested, set up a branch.
“As for Healix, he can inquire whether the Grant family would be willing to allocate a piece ofnd in
Layfield, near the train station, for Healix Pharmaceuticals.
“There are garment factories and food factories as well. Feel free to request what you need. I’ll
organize a team ofwyers to facilitate the process, making sure your demands are both fair and
legally sound. Tracy was left speechless, repeatedly asking. “Can this really work?”
Olivia looked up and cast a reassuring nce at her. “Don’t fret. My grandfather has always wished for
me to look after the Smith families. Lately, I’ve been swamped and haven’t had a proper chance to
attend to their needs. With the Grant family stepping in, let him handle them on my behalf for the time
being.
Musing on this. Olivia chuckled “The Grant family truly arrived like a timely rain for me.” Tracy was left
without words, uncertain of what to say After a pause, he expressed his concern, “Ms Taylor, we’re
asking for so much. Will the Grant family truly provide us with all these reques “Don’t be concerned.
They will secure it for you, Olivia asserted confidently, idly toying with the building blocks.

Once Tracy left and returned to the Smith Cuisine Hall, the first action he took was to call Jarron.
Jarron was aligned with Tom’s faction. He was updating Tom about his encounter with Tracy earlier in
the day.
Jarron exuded confidence. “Don’t fret. Mr. Grant. Tracy will unquestionably back me.”
While speaking. Jarron’s phone rang. He nced at the caller ID and grinned. Tracy is calling been
long, but it seems she has made up your mind already. She is quite shrewd, it appears.” With that,
Jarron answered the phone. Tracy, I see you’ve made up your mind.” Tracy conveyed her request.
Jarron was momentarily taken aback and involuntarily nced at Tom.
It hasn’t
As it was a public broadcast. Tom caught wind of Tracy’s request. He furrowed his brow impatiently and
nodded. signaling Jarron to acquiesce.
The markets that Tracy mentioned happened to be registered under Tom’s name.
Tom paid little attention to the rtively small sum of money involved. So long as it could be arranged,
he didn’t mind granting Tracy some benefits.
Tom was wealthy. In addition to the consistent dividends from the Grant family, he had also
umted substantial earnings from his ventures in the entertainment industry over the years.
The entertainment industry was renowned for its rapid wealth generation. With his strong connections
and the backing of the Grant family. Tom had acquired an abundance of valuable resources and
amassed significant wealth.
