Chapter 141-150
Chapter 141
It was already completely dark when Olivia came out of the birthday banquet. The sky was pitch–black, 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 Blake 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 but laugh out loud.
The tinkling laughter echoed in the car. It seemed like a long time since she had laughed like this. It had been so long that she had almost forgotten how to laugh.
Daniel looked sideways at her intently. His deep eyes were filled with

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 play 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, she comforted 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,

Olivia was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously blinked twice. She

Olivia was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously blinked twice. She

was flustered that she had been seen through.

However, her panic only lasted 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 place 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 playboy. He was backed by his father, and his uncle had taken over Sullivan Group. He started his own business in the Internet field. He had already decided not to take over the Sullivan family’s business, so he was free of pressure and was very playful.
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–black in front of her, but she was not afraid at all. She only trusted Daniel completely 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 played, 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, “Cinderella, 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 place 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 placed 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 a large 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 become 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 played with her while Gillian smiled gently at the side.
When she was tired from running, Gillian would bring over a glass of cool lemonade. After Olivia took a sip, she could feel the chill. It was so refreshing that she felt comforted 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 play 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 replace 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.
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
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 exclaimed, “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 glanced 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 Zoila 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.
Zoila accompanied Olivia and secretly sized up Olivia along the way. Occasionally, Olivia noticed her and turned to look at her. Zoila smiled foolishly and said sincerely, “You’re Ms. Taylor, right? You’re so beautiful, like a fairy.”
Olivia’s eyebrows relaxed, and her tone was mischievous. “Have you seen a fairy?”
Zoila 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 occasionally echoed.
After changing her clothes, Olivia sat on a chair with a stylist helping her with her hair.
Zoila sat at the side and held her chin. She looked at Olivia. “Ms. Taylor, do you know how I met Mr. Sullivan?”
Olivia glanced at her and nodded slightly, indicating that she was all ears. Zoila’s voice was gentle as if she was recalling something beautiful. “I didn’t come 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 a large 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.

There was no pity or sympathy, nor was there any disdain. It was as if it was just an ordinary matter, which made Zoila 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 dollars.
“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 leaning lazily 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 my last 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?” Zoila 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.”

“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.” Zoila’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, Zoila 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 slap this bitch and kick her out!
“Damn her!”
Olivia did not expect Zoila to ask her that. She blinked twice, thought for a moment, and nodded. “You’re so lucky!”
Zoila’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…”
Zoila 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 glanced at Zoila. She knew what Zoila 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
Billionaire’s Missing Darling

why novels were novels was that the plots in them were fictional and rare. In reality, Zoila 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 Zoila 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 Zoila 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 Zoila and said gently, “This is your memory. You don’t need to apologize to me.”
Zoila 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 was completely 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, Zoila 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? Zoila 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, Zoila 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 glanced at her and did not say anything.
Zoila 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 Zoila, the sharpness in her eyes making people afraid to look at her directly. “Are you sure you want to continue?”
Zoila bit her lower lip, a hint of unwillingness hidden in the corners of her eyes.
Olivia’s eyes were bright as she looked at Zoila 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 Zoila’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 accepted,” 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 the law, and only caring about their own thoughts, will taint that beautiful memory.”
Zoila’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’ll come 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 eyelashes 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.
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Chapter 144
While Olivia was being intimate with Daniel, trouble was going on in the Taylor family.
William went to the banquet later. At that time, there was an urgent matter at the company that had to be dealt with. He apologized to his grandfather in advance and said that he would be late. 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 so late? It’s too late to deal with anything now.” After saying that, she sniffled and could not help but complain. “Why didn’t you answer the phone?” William took out his phone belatedly 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 the company’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

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 delayed 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 accidentally 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 place 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 relationship 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 could come 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 account 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 in lawsuits.”
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.

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 the lawsuit. I’ll kneel to her!”
It was Amelia. She was back.

It had only been two hours since they last 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 in–law 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 the last 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 desolate 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 been completely ruined. After what happened today, everyone would look down on her with

disdain. She could no longer stay in the upper–class. 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 exclamation.
“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 had completely 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 not completely 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 have come 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.”

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 relationship.
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 getting late, 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 the lawsuit.”
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’t compare 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. later.”
Amelia frowned and looked impatient as she wondered, “She’s on the phone with someone. Who is she talking to so late at night?”
Pulangleze 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 so late. 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 delay her”
Emma stopped talking.
Two minutes later, 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 and compromising. 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 and complain 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 outcome.
The person who picked up the phone was not Olivia, but Blake.
“Mrs. Taylor.” Blake’s voice was gentle and pleasant. “It’s so late. 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?”
Blake explained 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?”
Blake nodded. “Yeah.”
Amelia asked, “What is it?”
Blake 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, Blake hung up the phone with a bang, completely ignoring Amelia’s angry gasp.
Chapter 147
How dare Olivia hang up on her? Amelia was furious. She wished she could immediately pull Blake over and give her a tight slap.
She thought. What an unruly slave! 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 place 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 moment later, 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 hour later, the chauffeur called and said that there was no one at Olivia’s place 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 place?”
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.

Soon, he contacted the largest 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 telecommunications operators and could get her number in a few minutes.
Five minutes later, 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 complained.
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 slap 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 related 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

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 Blake 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, Blake did not reject her directly. After a while, Blake 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
Amelia completely lost control of her emotions. When she spoke, her voice was hoarse and sharp. “That’s bullshit. You’re talking nonsense!”
Blake 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 places 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

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 too late.”
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, “Too late? Is the end of the world coming?”
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 Skynet?”
Liam frowned and said anxiously, “Stop beating around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it!”
“Alas!” His old friend sighed. “Your granddaughter, Olivia, is the person in charge of Skynet 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 explained his relationship 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 Skynet 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 black. 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 glanced 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?

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 Isabella, 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 Skynet. 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 to come out of the meeting.
The expression on her face was calm, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
A few days ago, Blake 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.
Blake 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 their command. 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.

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 bipolar 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 place in a county in Evervale to settle her down.
Amelia planned 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, Blake 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 Blake 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 was completely unaffected by Blake’s words. It was as if Samuel, Amelia, and Emma whom Blake was talking about were just irrelevant people.
After Olivia finished the last line, she put down her brush and interrupted Blake. “Forget it. Let them be.”
Blake 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 to comfort her, she heard Olivia say unhurriedly, “Don’t forget to collect evidence.”
“Huh?” Blake was still a little confused.
Olivia’s voice was calm. “Since Emma doesn’t have bipolar disorder, it means that they made fake evidence. Get this information. If they come to me and pester me again, we’ll make them all go to jail.”
She was completely 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 particular, Samuel and Amelia considered themselves smart. It was necessary to hold back in case of emergencies.
Blake was speechless.
She really wanted to go back to a few minutes ago and slap herself. How could she doubt Miss Olivia’s wise decision?
Olivia had a reason for everything she did. Blake 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 very complicated. 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 slandered 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, played together, studied medicine together, and were close with each other day and night. They treated each other like biological sisters,

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 relationship 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 placed 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.
Gillian laughed 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 planned to go home.
The Smith family’s place 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 voice coming 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
Billionaire’s Missing Darling

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 blank. Her vision turned black and she felt weak all over. She was in a complete daze.
Where was she? What had she just heard?
She must be dreaming.
Only after she comforted 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 to comfort Gillian first before explaining to her.
However, Gillian could not listen to him at all. She completely lost
control of her emotions and glared at Isaac with red eyes. “Calm down? It’s so hilarious 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 incomprehension. “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 explained, “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?” Gillian laughed 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 was completely 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 had completely 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 scutellaria 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 to come back and accuse 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 placed 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 scutellaria 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 within common sense. If Olivia was a sinart child, she might really be able to remember others‘ words by
IFFICU+77@Jk 18
accident.
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 explained, “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, they come 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 explain, 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.
