Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde -
Chapter 41-50
Chapter 41
Emma sat quietly on the sofa. Her expression was calm and even carried just the right amount of worry.
She was not worried about whether this was true or not, because there were some things that could not be verified.
If Olivia was Ryan’s mistress, it would be the best outcome. It didn’t matter if she wasn’t.
The Taylor family could not possibly run to Ryan and ask him if Olivia was his mistress.
As long as Olivia sat in Ryan’s car, this was enough.
Even if Olivia denied it, the detectives couldn’t find any concrete evidence. It was useless.
Because she could not prove that she had nothing to do with Ryan.
She was already sitting in Ryan’s car. Did she have the cheek to say that she had nothing to do with him?
Regardless of the relationship, as long as Olivia had such a stain, the Taylor family would not let her marry into the Turner family.
After all, a marriage alliance was for the sake of the future development of the company, not for the sake of making enemies.
Olivia didn’t dare to ignore her grandfather’s call.
Emma could guess her attitude. It was either denial or tacit agreement.
No matter what, Olivia had to come back and explain this matter in
person.
At the thought of this, Emma could not control the excitement in her heart.
There was finally going to be a good show to watch.
However, she had thought of all the possibilities, but she did not expect such an outcome.
The person who answered the phone was not Olivia, but Susan.
“Is that Liam?” Susan was very excited. “Olivia is in the laboratory. She can’t come out now. I’ll get her to call you later. What’s the matter?”

Calling back later? It was just a lousy laboratory. Olivia really treated it as
her career.
Samuel frowned and said impatiently, “Dad, ask her to call Olivia directly.”
Liam ignored Samuel and started chatting with Susan. “Are you Olivia’s assistant?”
“Yes, I’m Olivia’s life assistant. My name is Susan,” Susan introduced herself enthusiastically.
“Oh.” Liam smiled. “Previously, my family wanted to hire a life assistant for Olivia. I didn’t expect her to hire one herself.”
Upon hearing this, Susan felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, “I wasn’t chosen by Olivia. I was originally Charm’s employee. Mr. Book chose me.”
In fact, Susan was not the best. She was young and about Olivia’s age, so Ryan thought that they might have something in common, so he let her be Olivia’s life assistant.
She actually mentioned Mr. Book so easily.
Liam’s phone was not on speaker, but he was old and had poor hearing, so the volume of the call was very loud. The living room was extremely
quiet, so everyone could hear it clearly.
Samuel started to frown.
Amelia was also nervous. It seemed that Ryan was very concerned about Olivia. Could it be that Olivia was not a mistress but the two of them were in a serious relationship?
Liam paused and asked, “Mr. Book from Charm?”
“Yes, yes,” Susan explained non–stop. “It’s Charm.” She could hear Liam’s confusion, so she explained further, “Olivia is the leading researcher and developer of Charm.”
Everyone in the living room was stunned when they heard this.
They had almost forgotten that Olivia was a top student in biology. She was already a postgraduate student and would definitely cooperate with mentors and well–known companies.
However, the strange thing was that she was just a researcher and
developer. Why would Ryan assign her a life assistant? Even scientists did

not have one.
Liam also thought of this. He chuckled and asked jokingly, “Your company’s benefits are so good. As a researcher and developer, Olivia even has a car and a life assistant.”
Susan also smiled. She thought that this kind old man was joking with her. “Yes, our company’s welfare is very good, but Ms. Taylor is different.”
At this point, her tone became more serious. She no longer called her Olivia but Ms. Taylor. “Ms. Taylor is Charm’s shareholder. An important patent in Charm’s formula was discovered and extracted by Ms. Taylor’s team.”
Speaking of this, Susan might as well say more, “You can check this on Wikipedia. Ms. Taylor is an outstanding researcher. She is also known as the most outstanding young scientist in biology for the past ten years.“.
Liam was stunned.
Samuel and Amelia were shocked.
David said, “Ha–ha, how ridiculous.” After saying that, he stood up and left.
William also said that he had something on at the company and left.
Only Emma was sitting on the sofa with a stiff expression on her face. She was like a clown.
She remembered her words and actions from before and bit her lower lip hard.
How was that possible?
How could Olivia be a scientist?
She didn’t look like a scientist at all.
She didn’t know if it was to comfort herself or to verify it, but she turned on her phone and searched Olivia’s name on Wikipedia.
Soon, an introduction about Olivia popped up. It was filled with dazzling results and honors. Every one of them was a real award, unlike the foreign pheasant awards that they used to gild themselves or the honor awards given by their families.
Emma stared at a line of words.
Olivia represented her country in the International Olympic Biology Competition and won the first prize.

There were also some research awards below that she didn’t recognize. She randomly searched for one and found that they were all very professional and high–profile awards.
Amelia was also stunned. She took out her phone and started to search. Looking at the series of flashing honors on it, she suddenly felt her face burning.
Not long ago, she even called Olivia’s counselor and said that Olivia was not allowed to enter the laboratory.
That counselor must be laughing at her!
Among these people, only Liam was genuinely happy. He said nice a few times and asked Susan about Olivia in detail.
Previously, the information the Taylor family had investigated was not so detailed. It was mainly to verify their identities, so the investigation was focused on what happened when Olivia was young and about five years old.
“Olivia is so amazing!” Liam exclaimed. He was no longer as calm and steady as before. He was like an old urchin who was sincerely proud of his junior.
“Of course,” Susan said non–stop. Olivia was her idol, her goddess, and the person Susan admired the most. She knew Olivia’s achievements very well. “Charm only appeared because of the yeast that Olivia suggested. Olivia is super amazing. Not only is she Charm’s shareholder, but she’s also the most important researcher and developer.”
“Previously, there was a problem that the research and development team couldn’t solve even after half a year. Mr. Book invited Olivia. In three days, just three days, it was solved. Liam, you have to know that our company’s research and development team is famous internationally. Many of them graduated from top international universities and are all PhD students. They all admire Olivia.”
Liam chuckled. “Our Olivia is the smartest!”
Susan nodded. “Olivia is good at everything.”

After hanging up the phone, Liam was still happy. The corners of his mouth could not be closed. When the surrounding servants saw this, they laughed and praised Miss Olivia in unison.
The atmosphere in the room was harmonious. Suddenly, a hearty female voice sounded. “Dad, Olivia has been found. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Hearing this voice, everyone in the room was stunned. Then, the butler reacted and quickly brought the servants to welcome her.
Ms. Amy was back!
That was the real eldest daughter of the Taylor family, the aunt of William and the others, Amy.
When Liam saw his daughter, the smile on his face deepened. He
subconsciously said, “You still have the cheek to blame me. You went to an island somewhere to hide. How can I find you since you don’t answer my call?”
At this point, Liam seemed to have thought of something. The joy of seeing his daughter was replaced by dissatisfaction. He snorted angrily. “Wicked girl, tell me. How many years has it been since you came back?”
He was old and had not interfered in the company’s matters for many years. Liam was no longer as restrained as before. Instead, he acted like a kid.
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes became wet. He felt so sad and distressed.
This wretched girl hadn’t come back to visit him for so many years. Wasn’t she afraid that he would die?
At this moment, Liam’s emotions were very complicated. There was the joy of seeing his daughter, the resentment of not seeing his daughter for many years, and a trace of sadness and heartache.
This girl was still traumatized after so many years!
Back then, Olivia’s disappearance had dealt a huge blow to both the Taylor and Green families. Amelia’s mother raised her walking stick and beat Samuel up.

If Amelia had not had a mental problem, the two of them might have gotten a divorce.
At that time, William was still young, only 10 years old. After learning that his sister had gone missing, he locked himself in his room and did not drink a single drop of water for three days.
How could such a young child withstand such torture? He almost died.
At that time, the Taylor family was in a mess. Liam suffered a blow and was bedridden. Samuel only knew how to kneel on the ground and apologize to everyone. The Green family hated him to the core. Amelia was mentally unstable and could not recognize anyone.
The family was in a mess. Amy supported everything.
This lady, who was not even 30 years old, used her thin shoulders to carry everything.
She comforted her family while looking for Olivia. She also had to take time to deal with the company’s matters.
She remained silent and handled everything flawlessly. Everyone
commended her for her equal competence to men, stating that Liam was fortunate to have such a capable daughter.
They praised her for being steady, and calm, and had the bearing of a general.
However, only Liam knew that she did not dare to let herself stop. She was afraid that if she stopped, she would collapse.
If Amelia’s love for Olivia was her mother’s love and her nature, then to Amy, Olivia was her spiritual pillar.
When Olivia went missing, the one who suffered the greatest blow was not Amelia, but Olivia’s aunt, Amy.
Amy’s life resembled a treacherous and tumultuous journey. Shortly after tying the knot, her adoring husband tragically perished in a devastating car accident. To compound her agony, she experienced the heart–wrenching loss of a miscarriage due to the immense grief she endured.
Under the weight of this double blow, Amy found herself devoid of any will to carry on. The pain was so unbearable that she pleaded for death on multiple occasions.
It was Amelia who brought the newborn Olivia to her bed and told her

that Olivia would be her daughter from now on.

Amy watched as the baby stretched out her fair hand and grabbed her fingers. Only then did she have the will to live.
She slowly recovered and treated Olivia as her biological daughter.
It could be said that when Olivia was young, Amy had taken care of her longer than Amelia, Olivia’s biological mother.
After the Taylor family stabilized, Olivia could not be found at all. Amy went overseas alone and did not return for more than ten years.
There was also a girl in her twenties who came back with Amy. She was bright and beautiful, gentle and elegant.
When Amelia saw her, a kind smile appeared on her face. “This must be Yvonne.”
Amy, who was talking to Liam, slapped her forehead and smiled. “Look at me. I forgot to introduce her. This is Yvonne, my goddaughter.”
The Taylor family had heard of Yvonne’s name, but they had never seen her in person.
Yvonne was the daughter of Amy’s assistant. The assistant had been by Amy’s side for many years, and the two of them had a good relationship. Amy had always liked the assistant’s daughter. She had never had a child in her life, so she especially liked other people’s children.
No matter which family’s child it was, as long as they were good–looking and had a good personality, Amy was willing to pay attention to them and guide them.
Logically speaking, Yvonne was just a child of the assistant. It was impossible for her to acknowledge Amy as her godmother. However, when she was 12 years old, her mother died of liver cancer and she became a child without a mother.
Her biological father and her mother had been divorced for many years, and her stepmother was unwilling to accept her at all.
The little girl had suddenly lost her mother and her biological father was so cold and ruthless. Amy could not stand it anymore and adopted her.
It was an ordinary kindness. Amy did not expect the little girl to treat her as family. She just wanted to give the girl a place to stay. However, the little girl was exceptionally hardworking and was very filial to Amy. She was so considerate, just like a biological daughter.

Gradually, Amy accepted Yvonne completely as her daughter.

Amy was alone overseas, and the Taylor family had always been worried. Now that there was a girl by her side, the Taylor family were also very happy and did not stop her.
“She is so pretty.” Amelia grabbed Yvonne’s hand lovingly and praised her repeatedly. “She has a good personality and is steady.”
Emma sat beside Amelia. She hugged Amelia’s arm and said coquettishly, “Mommy, you’ve forgotten about me. You don’t even remember me as your daughter.”
“You’re so narrow–minded.” Amelia turned around and tapped the tip of Emma’s nose. Her eyes were filled with affection.
Amy was back, so the servants in the Taylor family were all busy preparing lunch and cleaning up the room.
Liam asked her happily, “What do you want to eat?” It was not that he did not know his daughter’s taste, but his daughter had been overseas for many years and was used to foreign food. Her taste had probably changed long ago.
Amy said, “No hurry. Where is Olivia? Didn’t you say that Olivia has been found? I came back this time for Olivia.”
She couldn’t hide the excitement in her voice. Amy almost forcefully suppressed the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Hearing this, Yvonne, who was sitting beside her, lowered her eyes. Her long and fluttering eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes.
Yvonne had been worried about this matter since she was overseas. It wasn’t because she was really curious about Olivia and cared about Olivia, but she had no choice. She was so worried. Even if she didn’t want to know anything about Olivia, someone would always remind her.
Yvonne was Amy’s goddaughter. She was adopted by Amy, but in fact, her household register was not in the Taylor family, but with her biological father.
A child with a father was not an orphan, and she was not eligible for adoption.
Although Amy liked her, she did not spend much effort to move Yvonne’s household register over.
After all, once the household registration was moved, Yvonne would be

qualified to inherit the Taylor family.

Amy had no children. Even though Yvonne’s household register had not been moved over, she had been by Amy’s side for many years. Amy only raised her as a child. Amy would definitely give her a large inheritance in the future.
However, things were different now. The child that Amy doted on the most was back!

Chapter 43
Liam called Olivia, and it was still Susan who answered. She said that Olivia was conducting a very important experiment and wouldn’t be out for a while, so she couldn’t disturb Olivia.
When Amelia heard this, she subconsciously frowned and said unhappily, “Olivia is really getting more and more insensible! What experiment is so important? Is it more important than seeing her family? Go in directly and ask her to come back.”
Having been a rich lady for many years, Amelia was used to instructing others. Since Susan was Olivia’s life assistant, Amelia felt that she was a servant who could be ordered around at will.
Susan hesitated.
Liam knew a little more about the laboratory. He was different from Amelia, who had been raised in a rich family for decades and only knew how to enjoy her life every day. He knew that a laboratory at Ember University was built for over 20 million dollars or even a few billion dollars.
Moreover, it was not just the price. Many experimental products could not be bought with money.
More importantly, something like an experiment could cause safety accidents if one was not careful. If there was sulfuric acid or an explosion, one would be dead.
Therefore, he asked, “Is it a very important experiment?”
Susan did not know much about this, but she asked the students around her and replied, “Yes, it’s very important. I heard from the students here that some substances have a time limit. They change in the air in a few seconds. If we don’t observe them in time, we won’t be able to find them later.”
Upon hearing this, Liam became nervous and quickly said, “Then don’t call her. When Olivia comes out, ask her to go home. Tell her that Amy is back.”
“Alright,” Susan replied cheerfully. “I’ll tell Olivia as soon as she comes out.”
After hanging up, Liam looked at Amy.

Amy smiled. There was no displeasure on her face. Instead, she was completely happy. “I didn’t expect Olivia to be so amazing.”
All these years, Amy had thought of many possibilities regarding Olivia’s future. The worst outcome would be to be sold to a remote village as a child bride. The best outcome would be to be adopted by a kind couple and live a peaceful and happy life.
However, she did not expect Olivia to be better than she had imagined. She was indeed the daughter of the Taylor family. She was outstanding to the core.
All these years, in order to pray for Olivia’s safety, Amy had done many good deeds and donated a lot of money to the poor mountainous areas. She had a glimmer of hope. As long as she donated more, Olivia might be able to use any sum.
Now that she had found Olivia and Olivia was living such a good life and was so outstanding, Amy would not care about such a small matter as her not being able to come back in time.
“Perfect. I’m tired too. I won’t eat lunch. I’ll go upstairs and sleep for a while. We’ll talk when Olivia comes back tonight.” As she spoke, Amy got up. Before she left, she was still worried and reminded them, “Dad, don’t rush Olivia. I heard that safety is the most important thing in an experiment. Don’t disturb her mind. It’s fine if something goes wrong. The key is not to hurt her.”
“Got it.” Liam nodded.
The servant quickly led Amy and Yvonne upstairs.
Liam watched them go up before turning to Amelia.
Just now, there was an outsider like Yvonne around, so he didn’t embarrass Amelia. Now that Yvonne had gone upstairs, he reprimanded Amelia mercilessly, “Have you become stupid from staying at home? How dare you spout nonsense!”
The head of the family must be wise. Liam was a generous head. He rarely said anything harsh to Amelia, his daughter–in–law. This was the first time he had spoken so harshly.
Amelia was dumbfounded. She looked at Liam in shock.
Liam did not want to reprimand her. It was just that she was getting more and more overboard. She was no longer young. It was fine if she was
2/5

getting stupider and stupider, but she did not even have the heart of a loving mother.
“In the future, don’t get involved in Olivia’s matters. I’m not asking you to be fair. I just hope that you won’t drag Olivia down.”
Upon hearing this, Amelia’s face turned red.
Amy and Yvonne weren’t around, but there were still so many servants in the house. There was also the junior, Emma. Liam didn’t show her respect at all and reprimanded her directly. She couldn’t be more embarrassed! “Dad, why am I dragging Olivia down? I was just asking. Shouldn’t she return home immediately when Amy is back? What experiment is more important than Amy?”
Upon hearing this, Liam looked up at her with disappointment in his eyes. “Even Amy knows that safety is the most important thing in an experiment. As a mother, you only care about your own face and don’t care about Olivia at all.”
“What danger can there be in an experiment?” Amelia subconsciously retorted. “Isn’t she a biology student? She’s just observing the leaves and extracting microorganisms. What danger can there be?”
Liam closed his eyes and was extremely disappointed. “I won’t talk to you about this. Don’t interfere in Olivia’s matters in the future. Since you didn’t raise her and don’t plan to give her your shares, don’t get involved in her matters.”
Share?
Amelia’s expression suddenly changed. She thought that Liam was eyeing the Green family’s shares and immediately said, “The Green family’s shares are to be reserved for Emma.” Olivia already had the Taylor family’s shares and Emma still had nothing. Amelia had to plan for Emma.
“That’s enough.” Liam waved his hand impatiently. “Who cares? I’m just telling you not to get involved in Olivia’s business.”
If she interfered, she had to give her shares to Olivia!
Amelia did not dare to care. Anyway, Olivia was not close to her. Since Liam asked her not to get involved, so be it.
Amelia stood up and led Emma upstairs.
When they were far away, Liam suddenly became mad and threw the

pillow on the sofa at Samuel. “It’s all your fault!”
+5 vouchers
Samuel knew that he was indeed guilty according to Emma’s matter. No legitimate daughter should give her shares to the mistress‘ daughter.
However, Emma was also the Taylor family’s daughter. They were both the Taylor family’s daughters. Olivia had shares, but Emma didn’t. Moreover, Emma was so obedient and filial.
Sometimes, Samuel would be glad that he lost Olivia back then. Otherwise, Emma would not have returned to the Taylor family.
Samuel straightened his neck. “If you also gave Emma shares, Amelia wouldn’t go so far!”
“Get lost!” Liam was so angry that his neck turned red.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Emma was comforting Amelia and occasionally teasing Amelia.
“Sweetie.” Amelia was amused by her. She pinched Emma’s soft face and sighed in her heart. Emma was still the most considerate. Raised outside, Olivia was just so indifferent.
She didn’t intend to care about Olivia anymore. So be it.
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about Olivia, but that Olivia didn’t care.
Amelia was also unwilling to use her warm side to face Olivia’s apathetic side.
After making Amelia laugh, Emma heaved a sigh of relief. She leaned against Amelia and said, “It’s all my fault. I misunderstood Olivia and thought that she was related to Ryan.”
“It’s not your fault.” Amelia was angry when she heard this. To think that her heart ached for Olivia for a long while. She thought that Olivia was a young lady with only beauty and no background, so Olivia became a mistress. In the end, Olivia was very powerful.
Olivia looked weak, but she actually had another identity and deliberately hid it from them.
It was better not to have such a hidden daughter who didn’t open her heart to her mother.
“In the future, stay away from her,” Amelia warned. “You’re innocent and pampered. You don’t have so many schemes in your head. But a girl raised outside is different. She has a lot of thoughts. Perhaps she caused

the car crush on purpose this time. Otherwise, why didn’t she explain clearly at that time and let you misunderstand?”
Amelia disliked Olivia more and more. She might have a motherly heart before. However, after being reprimanded by Liam downstairs, she was furious. She no longer had any love for Olivia, only disgust.
It was all because of Olivia that she had embarrassed herself in front of the servants.

Chapter 44
When Olivia came out of the laboratory, it was already past two in the afternoon. She had not come out to eat at noon and was extremely hungry now.
Susan was an outstanding assistant. She immediately brought a warm takeaway over. Other than Olivia’s portion, she also brought food for her classmates in the laboratory.
When Susan started to work here, Mr. Book said that Olivia was a genius and that her time was tight. She might not be able to handle her social life. He asked Susan to keep an eye on it and build a good relationship with the people around Olivia.
She could not be afraid of spending money. He would reimburse Susan. Olivia sat in the lounge and ate. Susan poured her a cup of hot water and sat beside her. She whispered, “Olivia, Liam called and said that your aunt is back. They want you to go back as soon as possible.”
Aunt?
Olivia’s hand that was holding the fork paused. She had heard William mention that this aunt doted on her a lot, but she was overseas and could not be contacted.
Regardless of whether her aunt doted on her or not, her aunt was still an elder. She had to go back.
Olivia quickly finished the takeout and gathered everyone for a meeting to guide them on the next steps of the experiment. Then, she went home and changed her clothes before returning to the Taylor family with
Susan.
The Taylor family residence was near the foot of the mountain. It was very large and was surrounded by a tourist area. However, only a portion of the tourist area was open. The remaining was used by the Taylor family.
This was because the higher–ups had stipulated that the area of the private residence could not be too big.
However, since there were policies, there were countermeasures. Moreover, an old wealthy family like the Taylor family had many ways to deal with it. Since the private residence could not be too big, they would
1/5

build a tourist area. There were hospitals, resort hotels, and beautiful “office areas“.
Private hospitals and resort hotels were open to the public, and the “office area” was where the Taylor family lived. It was a certain distance from the hospital and hotel.
When Susan arrived at the gate, she was stopped. It was Olivia who rolled down the window. Only when the guard saw that it was Miss Olivia did he let her in.
The guard in the lead stepped forward. “Miss Olivia, will you take this car often in the future? If you do, we’ll register it and you can pass through directly.”
Olivia’s eyes flashed slightly. After thinking quietly for a while, she said, “I will take this car often recently.”
“Understood.” The guard nodded. “Take care, Miss Olivia.”
The car entered the scenic area and drove to a place near the mansion. The servant led the car into the basement. Olivia got out of the car and slowly walked toward the mansion.
There were electronic devices along the way, and there was no one else. When it scanned Olivia’s face from two yards away, the door opened automatically.
There were many green belts in the mansion of the Taylor family. It was surrounded by rich green and expensive trees.
Olivia was wearing soft flat shoes, stepping quietly through the grass. She walked forward slowly. Step by step, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She stopped.
“Why are you always unhappy?” The man’s voice was a little lazy.
“That’s not true.” It was Emma’s voice. She pretended to be calm.
“Cut it out.” The man chuckled. “We grew up together. I can tell whether you’re happy or not.”
The man leaned against the tree trunk casually. After thinking for a moment, he knew what was going on. “Is it because of Olivia?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Emma stopped him.
“You.” The man sighed. Actually, there was no need to ask such a thing. It was obvious. Just now, when he arrived at the Taylor family, Amy had
2/5

been grabbing his hand. She liked him very much and even mentioned the engagement between the Taylor and Green families many times. She emphasized that in the Taylor family, Olivia was the one who had the engagement.
“Are you afraid that she’ll snatch me away?” The man suddenly approached her.
Emma lowered her eyes. “She has already snatched Grandpa, Aunt, and William away. Mom and Dad also feel sorry for her. I don’t care about these things. These belong to her in the first place, but you are different!” “Don’t worry,” the man comforted her. “I won’t be snatched away, and…” His tone was suddenly sharp. “What belongs to you is yours. She can’t take anything away!”
Emma understood Ethan. Seeing this, she asked nervously, “What are you going to do?”
Ethan chuckled. “To avenge you.”
“Don’t mess around.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t mess around. It’s just that someone doesn’t know her place and is too greedy. I’m just reminding her.”
The last sentence was like a ferocious beast that devoured people. His tone was cold.
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard. The person seemed to be jogging. The footsteps were very heavy and immediately alarmed Emma and Ethan who were behind the tree.
The two turned around and saw Susan running up to Olivia. “Olivia, why haven’t you gone in yet?”
Olivia!
Their pupils suddenly dilated. Olivia was actually here. Did she hear everything just now?
Emma’s face turned pale.
Sensing that something was wrong with her, Ethan held her cold and trembling hand and comforted her silently. He was here with her.
So what if Olivia heard it? It was the truth. Olivia was too greedy. Not only
did she snatch Liam and William’s attention, but she also got the Taylor
family’s shares. Now, she even wanted to snatch Emma’s engagement!

Ethan stood out and planned to confront Olivia. If Olivia heard them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Olivia would at most scold them.
With that thought in mind, Ethan walked out.
He was wearing a casual suit and had long legs. As soon as he stood up, he blocked half the way.
“Did you hear everything?” He put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin slightly. There was a hint of arrogance in his expression.
He was ready to argue with Olivia and put all the blame on himself, making Emma innocent.
Olivia raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently. Then, she passed by him and walked toward the door of the villa.
That glance was indifferent and normal, without a trace of emotion, as if it was just a casual glance at the flowers and trees.
Ethan was dumbfounded!
No one had ever ignored him like this.
He couldn’t take it anymore. He quickened his pace and stood in front of Olivia.
“Why aren’t you responding?”
Olivia looked up. She was a little confused and looked a little innocent.
“How should I respond?” she asked.
Well, Ethan choked. Yes, how should she respond? He didn’t know how she should respond either.
Ethan had always been the center of attention. He was one of the best among his peers. This was the first time he had been rendered speechless.
However, he quickly reacted and changed the topic. “Ms. Taylor, did you hear everything just now?”
Olivia thought for a moment and said, “If you mean what you said to Emma behind the tree three minutes and twenty–one seconds ago, then I did hear it.”
How precise!
Susan had no idea what was going on, so she could only sigh to herself.
Upon hearing Olivia’s admission, Ethan sneered. “I didn’t expect you to have a hobby of eavesdropping.”

Ethan was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had encountered someone admitting to eavesdropping. To be honest, it was not
eavesdropping at all. This was the path to the door. There were many people walking here and there.
Ethan deliberately said this to anger Olivia and listen to her retort. Only then would it be easier to attack her.
Unexpectedly, she admitted it just like that!
Why didn’t she play by the rules?

Chapter 45
Ethan had an indescribable depression in his heart, but even so, he still
had to continue.
“Since you’ve heard it, I can’t be bothered to look for you anymore.” His tone suddenly turned cold. “The most important thing in life is to do your job. For so many years, Emma has been the one who lives in the Taylor family. Don’t you feel ashamed that you got the Taylor family’s shares without doing anything?”
Olivia didn’t speak.
She was silent for a moment and thought for a moment. That sounded right.
Hence, she nodded. “Yes, I really shouldn’t have taken the Taylor family’s shares.”
Ethan was dumbfounded again.
Why didn’t she play by the rules again?
Ethan did not know how to continue this topic. Logically speaking, Olivia should refute him and say that she should take the shares. This way, he could be righteous and give many reasons to refute her.
In the end, she admitted it just like that!
Ethan was helpless and could only change the topic. “There’s also the engagement. The person I’ve set my eyes on is Emma. Not everyone can replace her casually. I hope you know your place. I won’t pay any attention to you.”
This time, Olivia did not admit it. Instead, she looked up and glanced at him indifferently.
Ethan immediately felt embarrassed as if he was being sized up like a good. It was as if he was not a living person at all but an object in her

However, this did not mean that she was willing to tolerate others

She had already tolerated Emma and Ethan, but they did not take her tolerance seriously. Instead, they thought that she was weak and easy to bully.
Olivia’s thoughts were simple and direct.
Since they didn’t understand what she meant and didn’t understand human nature, she shouldn’t treat them as people. She should treat them like dogs. An animal like a dog would not dare to extend its claws when it was beaten ruthlessly and in pain!
“Who were the two people engaged?”
Olivia suddenly spoke. She was still expressionless and cold, but her aura suddenly changed. She was domineering and oppressive.
Ethan’s expression changed. Feeling that he was being suppressed by Olivia, he forced himself to speak. “The ones who made the engagement

Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
Olivia was clearly impatient with him and said directly, “Since it’s just the two of us, it’s easy.”
When Emma heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She thought that Olivia was going to snatch her engagement away, but then she heard the next
sentence.
Olivia said, “Since you’re unwilling and I’m unwilling, let’s cancel the engagement!”
What was Olivia doing?
Ethan and Emma were both stunned.
Emma reacted quickly and immediately said, “Olivia, what are you talking about? This was decided by the two families. How can it be canceled just like that?”
Ethan also spoke in a mocking tone. “Who do you think you are? How can you cancel it just like that?”
Upon hearing this, Olivia suddenly lowered her eyes and chuckled. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with nobility and arrogance. “I will let you see it.”
Upon hearing this, Emma suddenly had a bad feeling. She subconsciously apologized, “Olivia, don’t… don’t be angry. It’s all my fault. You didn’t

“Emma.” Ethan pulled her over and shielded her behind him. He said disdainfully, “Let her go. I don’t believe that she, who has been lost for 18 years, has the right to interfere in the engagement between the two families.”
“I’m indeed not qualified.” Olivia looked up. “But I don’t think the Turner family is willing to accept an illegitimate daughter.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Emma suddenly looked up. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Olivia.
How would Olivia know?
Olivia ignored Emma and said, “A person without any status…”
She wanted to say that it was not presentable, but she felt that this sentence was not very appropriate. Olivia did not have the habit of humiliating other people’s mothers.
Hence, she changed her words. “Will the Turner family accept a daughter who has no status and is raised outside?”
Ethan was already dumbfounded. He stared blankly at Emma, not knowing how to react.
Emma clenched her fists tightly and stared at Olivia. She said word by word, “How did you know?”
How was that possible? It was impossible. Olivia couldn’t possibly know! Emma could not figure it out. Ordinary people would not guess her relationship with Samuel. Her looks were similar to Evelyn’s, and she did not look like Samuel at all. Those who had seen her would not consider her as an illegitimate daughter.
“Is that so hard to guess?” Olivia asked calmly. “In the Taylor family, only Samuel, Amelia, and David are biased toward you unconditionally. David is young and has a childhood friendship with you. Amelia treats you as a lost daughter because she was mentally deranged back then, but Samuel is strange.”
Men were careless and were often not at home. Adult men should be more distant from their adopted daughters. As the saying went, a grown woman shouldn’t be too close to her father. Moreover, the two of them were not related by blood.
Samuel’s actions did not make sense at all.

Emma began to tremble. She looked at Olivia with surprise and fear.
For such a long time, Olivia actually knew everything but did not say a word.
What a deep scheme!
“What do you want?” Emma could no longer maintain the gentle and magnanimous expression on her face. She revealed the ruthlessness that she shared with Evelyn. “Expose me?”
Emma sneered. “Don’t forget that your disappearance back then caused Mother to lose her mind. Aren’t you afraid of exposing the truth and hurting her again?”
Olivia lowered her eyes and seemed to be in a dilemma.
Upon seeing this, Emma was overjoyed and immediately became aggressive. “Grandpa knows my identity. Even Grandpa tacitly acknowledges my existence. Do you still want to expose it and cause trouble in the Taylor family? Mother’s body can’t withstand torture. If anything really happens, the Green family will not let you off. Grandpa and William will also have a grudge against you!”
“You’re right,” Olivia said.
Emma could not help but rejoice. She had finally convinced Olivia.
However, before this joy could spread, Olivia suddenly turned to Ethan.
“You saw it.” Olivia’s tone was calm. “Now, other than Karen, I’m sure you don’t want to marry such a scheming and thick–skinned person.”
Oh no! Emma’s heart sank.
She was so focused on preventing Olivia from telling the truth that she forgot that Ethan was also here.
In Ethan’s heart, she had always been pure, kind, educated, and reasonable. If he knew that she had long known her background and shamelessly cheated Amelia of the Green family’s shares, he would definitely hate her.
At the thought of this, Emma panicked. She subconsciously looked at Ethan pleadingly, but Ethan did not even look at her. He turned around and left.
His back view was cold and disappointed.
“Ethan!” Emma was in despair.

Emma was very smart and immediately realized. “So this is your goal!”
Olivia had never thought of exposing her. Previously, Olivia had exposed her background only to make her panic and give herself away. From the beginning to the end, Olivia’s goal was to destroy her engagement with Ethan.
Olivia ignored her and walked around her to the door. When Olivia passed by her, Olivia said, “I hope you can behave yourself.”
Olivia did not like to beat around the bush and rarely made a move. However, if she did, she would definitely hit the enemy’s weak spot!

Chapter 46
Olivia walked toward the entrance of the villa. As soon as she walked in, a servant rushed out.
Olivia couldn’t dodge in time and was hit hard.
She looked up with a frown and saw the disgust in the servant’s eyes.
Olivia was stunned. She knew this maid. Her name was unclear. Everyone called her Lynn. Lynn was an experienced person. She heard that when Michelle was still alive, Lynn was here. Amy and Emma were raised by Lynn personally. Lynn had a high status in the Taylor family.
She was almost like the nanny in Downton Abbey. The juniors in the family were extremely respectful to her.
Lynn was no longer working in the Taylor family. She was practically in a state of retirement. Even the butler respected her greatly.
After Olivia returned to the Taylor family, she only met Lynn a few times and did not interact with Lynn. She did not even speak to Lynn.
Lynn ignored Olivia and rushed to the phone. She picked up the receiver and said, “Sam, drive over quickly. Drive the RV. Quick, something happened to Yvonne!”
Upon hearing the commotion, Emma took a few steps forward in a hurry and asked, “Lynn, what’s wrong with Yvonne?”
“Emma…” Lynn held Emma’s hand. Tears streamed down her face as her lips trembled. “Yvonne, Yvonne committed suicide by taking sleeping pills!”
“How could this be?” Emma was shocked.
She had not interacted much with Yvonne. They had only chatted briefly this afternoon. In her impression, Yvonne was a gentle and sensible girl. Previously, Emma thought that Yvonne was scheming. An orphan girl actually clung to Amy and made Amy treat her as her biological daughter. However, upon interacting with Yvonne, Emma came to realize that this girl possessed a remarkable gentleness. Every action, word, and gesture exuded a soothing aura, akin to a gentle spring breeze. Yvonne had a remarkable talent for caring for others.
She didn’t seem like a scheming person at all. Why would she commit

suicide? It shouldn’t be.

Hearing this, Lynn glanced at Olivia. Her gaze was like a poisonous knife, and her tone was gloomy. “What else could it be? Everything that happened to our family recently was all because of her!”
As she spoke, Lynn’s gaze remained fixed on Olivia, almost as if she were directly addressing Olivia by name.
Emma was a little stunned. What did this have to do with Olivia? Olivia had just returned. Then, she heard Lynn say, “Ms. Yvonne heard that after Olivia was found, she felt that someone could take care of her godmother. She felt that her identity would make things difficult for Olivia and her godmother. She was sensitive and thoughtful. She always thought for others, so she took sleeping pills and committed suicide.”
Olivia stood behind the two of them and did not say anything for a long time.
She really didn’t know what to say. How could she be blamed for this? She had never seen Yvonne before.
The Taylor family was already in a mess. No one cared about Olivia at all. Amy only saw Yvonne lying on the bed with a pale face and weak
breathing. She didn’t even look at Olivia.
After the car drove over, Amy followed. Samuel was worried and followed. Seeing this, Emma followed closely behind.
Olivia glanced at the door. Amelia was shocked and quickly stood in front of her. She said coldly, “Don’t follow her. Yvonne can’t see you.”
Lynn, who was standing beside Amelia, saw that Olivia was expressionless and did not look worried at all. In the end, she could not help but say angrily, “Ms. Yvonne committed suicide because of you. It’s fine if you don’t feel guilty and blame yourself, but how can you be so cold? If it weren’t for you, Ms. Yvonne wouldn’t have suffered such a disaster.”
Lynn’s heart ached when she thought of Yvonne, who was as pale as a sheet on the bed.
What a good girl. Although she had been by Ms. Amy’s side for many years and had not returned to the country, she heard that it was Lynn who raised Ms. Amy, so she often called Lynn and even sent Lynn a lot of things, saying that she wanted to be filial to Lynn on behalf of Amy.
Lynn had never seen such a meticulous, kind, and beautiful girl.

Thinking about how such a beautiful girl had committed suicide because of a selfish and cold person like Olivia, Lynn became even more resentful of Olivia.
Amelia also frowned deeply. She had always acted like a noble lady. At most, she would frown slightly. It was rare for her to frown so deeply without caring about her image.
“Your grandfather is upstairs. Go and see him, and then leave. I’m not sure what’s happening with Yvonne. The hospital is too close to this place. Don’t linger here. Go straight back to school and avoid coming over for the time being.”
Olivia remained silent, opting instead to ascend the staircase directly to visit her Grandpa.
“Wait.” Amelia stopped her after she took two steps. “Although you’re the Taylor family’s bloodline, Emma and Yvonne are both daughters of the Taylor family. If I find out that you bullied the two of them behind our backs because of your blood relationship with the Taylor family, I won’t let you off even if you’re my biological daughter.”
After saying that, seeing that Olivia did not react, Amelia became even more frustrated. She could not help but say fiercely, “You’d better behave yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter!”
This time, Olivia finally reacted. She turned around and looked at Amelia indifferently.
Thinking that Olivia still remembered their mother–daughter
relationship, Amelia felt a little smug. She threatened. “At that time, even if I fall out with your grandfather, I will chase you out of the Taylor family!”
Olivia was speechless.
Amelia thought she was very willing to stay here. If her grandfather had not called her back, she would not have stepped into this place at all.
This family was crazy.
Olivia ignored Amelia and went straight upstairs. After exchanging a few words with Liam, she returned to school overnight.
Yvonne’s condition was dire. She had experienced multiple
life–threatening episodes. If it weren’t for the Taylor family’s private

hospital, which boasted exceptional medical expertise and state–of–the–art facilities, she might not have survived at all.
After sleeping for three days and three nights, Yvonne slowly woke up. Her once full and beautiful red lips were pale and cracked, making Amy’s heart break.
“Godmother.” She had been asleep for too long, so her throat was dry. Yvonne’s voice was hoarse. “Am I dreaming?”
Amy held her hand.
She seemed to be stunned by Amy’s grip. Then, she revealed a timid, careful, but satisfied smile. “I must be dreaming! Only in dreams will you hold my hand.”
With that, she closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against the back of Amy’s hand. “That’s great. How I wish I were your daughter. Only in my dreams would I dare to indulge myself and call you mother openly…” Hearing this, Amy finally couldn’t control herself. She choked and said, “You’re my daughter.”
Yvonne instantly opened her eyes, which were as bright as stars.
“Really?” She looked at Amy expectantly.
Amy nodded heavily. “It’s true. From now on, I’m your mother.”
Yvonne’s lips curled into a blissful smile as she muttered, “Even if it’s just a dream, I’m satisfied.”
With that, she fell into a deep sleep.
Two months later, Olivia received the news from the Taylor family. Ryan had told her that Amy had moved Yvonne’s household register and changed her name to Yvonne Taylor. She also wanted to hold a grand banquet to introduce Yvonne to everyone.

Chapter 47
Since then, Olivia had not returned to the Taylor family, nor had the Taylor family called her.
The incident had nothing to do with Olivia from the beginning to the end. However, they vented their anger on her. Susan was furious and felt indignant for her. “This is too much. Amy wants to adopt a daughter. It’s such a big matter, but no one told you about it. If it weren’t for Mr. Book, you wouldn’t have known.”
Susan had never seen such a family before.
Previously, when she heard that Olivia had found her family, she was secretly happy for Olivia. In the end, Olivia might as well not have found them.
The reason why Susan was angry was not that Amy didn’t tell Olivia about Yvonne’s adoption, but that the grand banquet was about to be held, yet they didn’t even inform Olivia. When the banquet was held, if Olivia wasn’t present, how many people would criticize Olivia?
The daughter of the Taylor family who had been lost for 18 years, had already attracted the attention of the upper class.
If she had not been there that day, who knew what ugly rumors would have spread?
Susan nagged at the side for a long time, but when she realized that Olivia didn’t respond, she turned to look at Olivia. Olivia was immersed in her research again.
Some time ago, Olivia’s laboratory research had produced important results. Several internationally top scientific literature had published her papers. There were also a few universities overseas that had invited her to give a speech overseas. There was even an important award nomination. There were too many things to do, so she did not have time to pay attention to the Taylor family.
During this period of time, Olivia spent almost all her time in the
laboratory. Other than the occasional phone calls with Andrew, she spent the rest of her time writing her papers. She didn’t even have time to eat.
That was why Susan stayed here and took care of her.

Olivia rejected the olive branch offered by the university in Mala. She rubbed her sore neck and finally had the time to look at Susan. “What did you just say?”
Susan was speechless.
So Olivia hadn’t heard her complaints.
She had no choice but to reiterate that Amy had moved Yvonne’s household register to the Taylor family in the past two months and said that she wanted to officially adopt Yvonne.
“Oh.” Olivia nodded. She didn’t really care.
Seeing her calm expression, Susan couldn’t take it anymore. She leaned over and said, “Olivia, don’t you think Yvonne is so scheming? She probably committed suicide on purpose.”
Olivia’s expression was originally nonchalant, but when she heard this, she turned to look at Susan.
Seeing Olivia looking at her, Susan immediately widened her eyes like a big dog waiting for praise.
“You’re not stupid,” Olivia said.
Susan was overjoyed. Olivia had praised her.
She happily expressed more opinions. “It’s a pity that Amy can’t see through her true colors. Who would commit suicide for such a reason and insist on blaming you?”
This time, Olivia did not agree. Instead, she chuckled.
Susan blinked in confusion.
“I just praised you for not being stupid, and now you’re being stupid again,” Olivia said.
How direct! Susan’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
“Olivia…” She felt wronged.
“Silly.” Olivia glanced at her. “How can people be so easily deceived? Moreover, Aunt Amy is a strong woman who acts decisively in the business world. Yvonne’s reason for committing suicide is simply untenable.”
The more Susan listened, the more confused she became. Since Amy wasn’t deceived by Yvonne, why did she adopt Yvonne and announce it to the world?

Olivia looked out of the window and said calmly, “It’s just that people are biased.”
Hearing this, Susan suddenly understood.
In this case where Olivia was obviously not at fault and Yvonne had obviously committed suicide, Amy chose Yvonne.
Because of her bias, even though Amy knew that Olivia was innocent, she still took her anger out on Olivia.
As if something had fallen into her eyes, Susan’s eyes instantly turned red. She quickly lowered her head and rubbed her eyes.
Susan didn’t dare to imagine how sad Olivia must be. Olivia wasn’t favored and allowed others to misunderstand and slander her.
“Olivia.” Susan was on the verge of tears.
What a sentimental girl. Olivia glanced at her and found it funny.
She stood up, and her slender figure was firm and straight like a bamboo. She was humble and self–controlled, and there was strength in her gentleness. She was calm, aloof, and upright.
Susan was mesmerized by her beauty and was lost in thought for a while.
Then she heard Olivia’s cold and tenacious voice. “You underestimate me.” What was this? What was the Taylor family? These people were not worthy of affecting her mind at all.
“Olivia, are you going to the banquet in seven days?” Susan asked.
“That day, there will be something more important.”
Before Susan could guess what important matter it was, she followed Olivia to various foreign countries, to various famous schools that she had once dreamed of, and watched those internationally renowned and respected old professors seek guidance from Olivia.
She saw all kinds of famous schools and famous old professors. She could feel the vigor, the courage to do everything for science, the wisdom, the breadth and greatness…
She suddenly stopped thinking about the Taylor family.
Thinking about Yvonne’s suicide and the Taylor family’s actions, Susan felt that they were so low.
Yvonne hustled about trying to make some profits. What a small–minded
person.

Olivia’s mind was like the sea of stars. No wonder she ignored the Taylor family.
At this moment, Susan finally understood Olivia.
No matter how rich one was, no matter how powerful a financial group was, it could not compare to a scientist who had made huge contributions to humanity and left a deep mark in history.
the Taylor family announced to the outside world that Yvonne’s banquet would be held in seven days.
This banquet was even better than the previous one held for Olivia. It was even grander. There were all kinds of big shots in the business world, politics, entertainment industry, and so on.
Yvonne followed Amy like a group of stars surrounding the moon.
Amy even announced in public that she would leave her assets to Yvonne after she passed away.
As soon as these words were spoken, it instantly caused a huge
commotion in the crowd.
Amy had a lot of businesses under her name. Although they could not compare to the Taylor Group, they were not inferior either. In fact, many of her businesses were overseas and could be liquidated.
Previously, Olivia had only gotten a small share of the Taylor family’s business, but Amy wanted to hand over the business of the Taylor Group in her hands and the business she had developed overseas for so many years to Yvonne.
This girl was not a bloodline of the Taylor family.
She was really lucky.
Everyone present had different thoughts. Although they were complimenting Yvonne, they all had their own thoughts.
Some busybodies even asked about Olivia, “Why don’t I see Miss Olivia on such an important day?”
Hearing the words “Miss Olivia“, Yvonne’s face turned pale. If not for Amy holding her, she would not have been able to stand steadily.
Although Amy missed Olivia, who had been lost for many years, she cared more about Yvonne, who had been by her side for more than ten years. She had not realized it before Yvonne committed suicide.

It wasn’t until Yvonne committed suicide and was about to die that Amy suddenly realized how important this child was to her.
The feelings they had for each other for many years had long condensed into a deep mother–daughter relationship.
Seeing Yvonne’s pale face, Amy quickly said, “She has something on today.”
“What important matter?” a nosy individual probed further, wanting to get to know more. “She isn’t even present for such a significant occasion concerning Ms. Yvonne.”
Amy’s expression changed. She was about to reprimand the busybody. Suddenly, someone in the hall exclaimed.
“Look at the news. Olivia from the Hushe Republic has won the Lasker, Award!”
Lasker Award? Everyone was shocked. This was the weathervane of the Nobel Prize. Many Nobel Prize winners had won the Lasker Award before.

Chapter 48
The fact that Olivia won the Lasker Award might cause a stir in the scientific community, but it may not attract much attention in the business world.
Everyone was shocked because Olivia was the Taylor family’s daughter.
Among these wealthy families, many of their descendants had also joined the scientific and artistic world. However, most of them were artists, lawyers, and doctors. Even if there were talented descendants who entered national research institutes, they were rarely as talented as Olivia. With her achievements, she could not rely on her family background and money alone. She was really capable.
Some short–sighted families with shallow foundations were only
surprised and felt that it was unbelievable. Then, they treated this matter as an interesting piece of news and only discussed it a little, not paying much attention.
As for those family elders with deep foundations and wisdom, they thought deeper.
The term “scientist” seemed to symbolize poverty, but in modern society, it had nothing to do with poverty. More importantly, there was an unimaginable political power behind scientists.
This was especially true for the top scientists. They had something to do with the government.
In the Hushe Republic, money was not a measure of everything.
It was listed by seniority, scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. In ancient times, merchants were considered the lowest profession. Even today, despite the prosperity of commerce, scholars had a higher status than them.
Soon, someone talked to Liam and asked if Olivia was married. They wanted to match their sons with Olivia.
Liam indeed doted on Olivia in his heart, but compared to Amy, whom he had doted on for decades, the difference was not small.
A daughter was always more important than a granddaughter.
Moreover, Liam was old. He did not want to interfere too much in many
1/4

things as long as the children in the family did not go overboard and hurt the harmony.
Hence, he tacitly agreed to Amy’s actions.
Anyway, Olivia had already left home for 18 years and was living a good life outside. Since Amy did not want her to come home, she should not come back.
The Taylor family’s shares had already been given to Olivia. Liam felt that he did not owe this granddaughter anything.
Businessmen valued profits. Between Amy, a strong woman who acted decisively, and Olivia, Liam chose Amy.
But now, Olivia had shown everyone her power.
Liam started paying attention to this granddaughter again.
Almost instantly, everyone’s attention fell on Olivia.
Yvonne lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip.
Today was supposed to be her most glorious day, but it was snatched away by Olivia.
Sensing that Yvonne was in low spirits, Amy looked at her with heartache. “What’s wrong? You’re not feeling well. Do you want to rest for a while?” Yvonne shook her head and smiled weakly. “Mom, I’m fine. Miss Olivia has achieved so much. I’m very happy for her.”
“Miss Olivia? She’s younger than you. She’s your younger sister.”
Yvonne shook her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was like a small white flower swaying in the wind. “Don’t say that. I know my status is low. I’m not worthy at all, but…”
She looked up, her bright eyes filled with yearning and anticipation. “It’s just that I really hope that one day, I can call you mother openly and announce to everyone that you’re my mother. I’m looking forward to this moment too much. That’s why I was sad when the news of Miss Olivia came.”
Yvonne explained in a panic, “It’s not that I’m not happy for Miss Olivia, but today is really too important to me. I’m too yearning and have been looking forward to this day. That’s why I can’t control my emotions. I’m sorry, Mom. I’m too selfish.”
“Silly girl.” Amy held her hand and comforted her. “It’s not your fault. You

don’t have to blame yourself.”
Yvonne sighed. “I think I’m a bad person. I actually guessed Miss Olivia just now and thought that she did it on purpose. She deliberately announced that she won the award today to steal my limelight.”
Although Amy’s heart ached for Yvonne, she still had her rationality. The Lasker Award was an international award, and it was the bellwether of the Nobel Prize. There was no possibility of manipulation at all. Moreover, there had been a series of processes such as review, nomination, and evaluation. It was impossible for Olivia to manipulate it.
She patted Yvonne’s hand and explained, “It’s impossible to manipulate the Lasker Award. It should be a coincidence. Don’t be too sad. I’ll hold a bigger banquet for you on your birthday in a few days.”
Seeing that Amy did not follow her words, Yvonne’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
However, she quickly adjusted herself and pursed her lips at Amy. She smiled brightly and said, “I know. That’s why I think I’m a bad person. I actually suspected Miss Olivia with ill intentions.”
The bright smile didn’t last for more than half a minute before Yvonne frowned and covered her chest. “Ah, it hurts.”
“Yvonne, Yvonne, what’s wrong?” Amy was shocked and quickly got someone to carry Yvonne to the hospital.
After a series of examinations, the doctor said that she was feeling uneasy. Due to her previous suicide, her health was not good to begin with. Today, her mood had fluctuated drastically, and her heart could not take it.
Knowing that Yvonne was affected by her emotions, Amy’s expression turned ugly. She knew that this had nothing to do with Olivia. Olivia wasn’t even here, but she couldn’t help but take her anger out on Olivia.
She felt that it was inappropriate for Olivia to win the Lasker Award at this time and disrupt Yvonne’s banquet.
The Taylor family had two consecutive banquets where people fainted. Previously, it was Emma, but this time, it was Yvonne.
For some reason, there were rumors that Miss Olivia was a jinx.
Miss Emma and Ms. Yvonne were female and weak, so they suffered because of Olivia first. If Olivia continued to interact with the Taylor

family and the others, Emma and Yvonne would not be the only ones who suffered.
Olivia had won the Lasker Award, so Liam wanted to call her to ask about the exact situation. Amy saw it and hurriedly stopped him. “Dad, didn’t you hear the rumors that she’s a jinx to Yvonne?”
Liam was surprised. “You believe in such things?”
“I’d rather believe it than not. Yvonne’s heart hurts when she hears about Olivia now. If you insist on calling her back, I’ll bring Yvonne out to stay.” Liam held the phone and looked at Amy in a daze. He did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he gave up dejectedly. He seemed to be muttering to himself and questioning, “You used to love Olivia very much. How did you become… become…”
“Dad, people change. Back then, Olivia was the motivation to keep me alive, but now, it’s Yvonne who’s supporting me.” Amy did not hate Olivia. She even felt sorry for Olivia for being lost for the
past 18
years.
However, Yvonne felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Olivia. Amy had no choice but to give up Olivia.
She hoped that Olivia could understand and not blame her. If she wanted to blame someone, she could only blame herself for being unlucky. It was her fault for being dishonest when she was young and insisting on going out with Samuel. After that, she got lost.
She could only say that Olivia was unlucky and could not blame anyone else!

The matter could finally come to an end. Olivia leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. These days, she was either on the plane or on the way to the plane.
Finally, the matter had been resolved and she had received the award. She could rest for a while.
Olivia had just closed her eyes when she received a call from the
laboratory. It was from a member who had contacted the outside. He said that a company had donated 1 million dollars and wanted to have a meal with everyone.
During this period of time, Olivia had already received several donations one after another. Because of the award, they had become famous. Some companies were very generous, but this was the first time they had received such a large sum of money.
“What time?” Olivia rubbed her temples.
“It’s at a hot spring resort. The mentor said that everyone is tired these days, so we’ll go over for a few days to rest.”
Olivia nodded. “Alright, make the arrangements.”
The entire trip to the resort lasted for two days and two nights. They only had to have a meal with the donor on the first night. After that, they were free to do whatever they wanted. Moreover, all the food and
accommodation expenses for the next few days were covered by the
donor.
Everyone was very happy to be able to come out and play.
Olivia arrived very early. She arrived at around two in the afternoon.
Just as she got out of the car and walked toward the hotel, she was stopped by a voice. “Ms. Taylor!”
It was Sean.
Sean was the blind date that her grandfather had introduced to her. They had already exchanged contact information, but they had never contacted each other. It was not until the news of Olivia winning the Lasker Award that Sean changed from being cold to being warm and gentlemanly. He often contacted her.

Sean leaned forward enthusiastically and looked at Olivia’s exquisite face. He cursed himself for being stupid. He actually believed the rumors outside and mistook Olivia for a ugly woman. If he had known that Olivia was so beautiful and talented, he would have definitely wooed her earlier.
But it wasn’t too late.
“Ms. Taylor, do you want to come and play too? The hot spring here is very good. There are also a few good sceneries. If you don’t mind, I can show you around.”
Olivia took a step back and distanced herself from the man. “I came with my classmates. I’m going to look for them later.”
“I see.” Sean was a little disappointed. He looked at Olivia and was unwilling to give up. “That’s good. Give me a chance to treat these scientists who have brought glory to our country to a meal.”
While the two of them were talking, a black Cayenne drove over quietly and stopped at the side.
The driver stopped the car and turned to look at the little boy who was sleeping soundly on Daniel. He lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Sullivan, do you want to carry Mr. Andrew over?”
Andrew was still young. It was easy for him to fall asleep after sitting in the car for a long time. In the past, the driver often carried the sleeping Andrew out of the car.
Daniel looked out of the window and saw a pair of figures not far away. His expression was a little cold as if he did not hear the driver.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and said coldly, “No need.”
No need? Did Mr. Sullivan want to carry Mr. Andrew himself? Before the driver could react, Daniel suddenly reached out and pinched Mr. Andrew’s chubby cheek.
The driver was shocked.
Mr. Sullivan was really ruthless. He felt hurt just by looking at it. Was Mr. Andrew Mr. Sullivan’s biological child?
Andrew was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a pain on his face. He was woken up by the pinch.
The four–year–old boy could not control his emotions. The discomfort of

not being able to wake up and the pain on his face made the corners of his mouth immediately curl up.
His eyes instantly turned red.
Before his tears fell, Daniel knocked on the car window with his knuckles. “Look who’s there.”
Andrew looked over in a daze. When he saw that familiar figure, his eyes widened and he instantly became energetic.
It was Olivia!
Daniel opened the door. The little guy got out of the car and ran toward Olivia.
Olivia was talking to Sean when she felt a small firecracker flying toward her. She lowered her head and saw Andrew looking up at her with his cute little face and acting cute.
“Olivia, why are you here?”
When he saw Olivia, Andrew was overjoyed. He wished he could hang onto her.
It had been a long time since Olivia last saw Andrew. She didn’t feel anything when she couldn’t see him, but when she saw him in person, Olivia felt her heart skip a beat. This was the feeling of missing him.
She really missed this little boy.
“Why are you here?” Olivia was even more surprised than him.
Andrew turned around and pointed at the black Cayenne with his chubby hand. “Dad brought me here.”
It turned out that Mr. Sullivan had brought him here.
Sean originally wanted to invite Olivia to dinner, but before he could, the little boy came here to ruin his plan.
He looked down at Andrew and asked, “Who is he?”
Before Olivia could answer, Andrew introduced himself. He turned his little head and looked at Sean with a cold and noble look.
“Hello, my name is Andrew.”
Sean was amused. “This child is quite stylish.”
At this moment, a noble and magnetic voice sounded. “I’m sorry. My son is naughty.”

“Daddy.” Andrew turned around and threw himself into the person’s
arms.
Sean looked over and saw that it was Daniel.
“Mr. Sullivan? So it’s your son. I was wondering why he was so smart.” Sean quickly reached out his hand, and his tone was fawning.
Daniel looked at Sean indifferently and said, “On the way here, I bumped into Mr. Bryant. He’s asking me about you. It is about something important.”
Was his father looking for him?
Sean was stunned for a moment. He immediately said goodbye to the two of them and left in a hurry.
Daniel’s cold gaze turned to Olivia’s face.
It was the afternoon. The sun was bright and warm, shining on Olivia’s face. Her skin was so fair, like delicate porcelain, smooth and tender.
Daniel took a look and felt his palm itch. He used all his self–control to control himself and did not touch her face.
“Mr… Well, Daniel.” Olivia wanted to call him Mr. Sullivan, but she quickly remembered that he had mentioned she should call him Daniel before, so she changed her tone. “Why are you here?”
Daniel leaned over and held Andrew in his arms. “My company donated a scientific research team. I’m here for a meal.”
Donate a scientific research team?
Olivia blinked. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, right?
Just as she was about to talk about this, Andrew suddenly opened his arms and rushed toward her. “Olivia, hug.”
The little guy was too sudden. Olivia was afraid that he would fall, so she quickly went up to him.
Daniel seemed to be shocked by the little guy’s sudden actions and subconsciously followed.
Just like that, Olivia wrapped her arms around Daniel’s waist.
If there wasn’t a child between them, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them would be hugging each other.
“Sorry.” Olivia took a step back after catching Andrew.

The soft and fragrant embrace moved away. A hint of disappointment flashed in Daniel’s eyes, but his face was cold and distant. “It’s okay.” At the same time, Sean, who was far away at the foot of the mountain, called Jude. “Dad, why are you looking for me?”
“Oh, I won!” Jude was playing cards. When he heard this, he scolded, “Who’s looking for you? I don’t have time to care about you. Scram!”
Sean was stunned.

Chapter 50
Olivia met Andrew halfway, so she did not immediately go to the laboratory to meet the students. Instead, she held Andrew.
There was a red mark on Andrew’s face from when he was sleeping. Olivia did not notice it before, but now that she picked him up, she saw it.
“Why is your face red?” Olivia rubbed his tender little face.
Daniel glanced at him and said calmly, “He was sleeping in the car just now. He was not awake yet.”
Not awake?
Olivia carefully observed the little boy’s expression and realized that he indeed looked a little discontented, like wilted grass.
“It’s not good for a child to not have enough sleep.” Olivia handed Andrew to Daniel, wanting him to carry Andrew back.
Andrew refused. He immediately turned around and pointed his butt at Daniel.
Olivia was surprisingly patient with Andrew. When she saw that Andrew didn’t want Daniel to carry him, she said, “If it’s convenient, I’ll bring him over.”
Daniel nodded indifferently and walked forward.
This Resort Hotel was owned by the Sullivan family. Daniel had a special room here. Sometimes, when he was tired from work, he would come over to stay for two days.
When the lobby manager saw Daniel enter, he hurriedly brought the room service butler forward to welcome him.
When they arrived at the private room, the lobby manager took out the room card and opened the door. Daniel entered first. There was a pair of blue men’s slippers inside.
After taking off his leather shoes, he walked in barefooted. Then, he bent down and picked up the slippers. He placed them by Olivia’s feet. “You can wear this pair.”
This pair of slippers was clearly Daniel’s.
Olivia did not argue and put on the slippers. The men’s slippers were a

little big. After she put them on, her fair feet slid forward. She had to walk slowly to hook the slippers.
The lobby manager and the butler followed them in. The two of them were not barefooted. Instead, they took out a pair of shoe covers from somewhere and put them on.
Olivia lowered her head and looked at the slippers on her feet that were as big as a boat. Then, she glanced at the shoe covers on the lobby manager’s feet.
She was speechless. Since there were shoe covers, why didn’t he take them out earlier?
Faced with Olivia’s silent questioning, the lobby manager blinked and said with an innocent expression, “There’s only one pair left, and I’ve used it before.”
The butler was also very innocent. “I only have one pair, too.”
Alright, Olivia wouldn’t fuss about it.
The lobby manager and the guest room butler sent them to the room and asked for their request before leaving one after another.
Only Olivia, Andrew, and Daniel were left in the room.
Olivia placed Andrew on the bed and wanted to leave.
Andrew stretched out his fair and chubby little hands and grabbed the corner of her clothes. He blinked his cute big eyes and said, “Olivia, don’t leave.”
Olivia hesitated. Her mentor and classmates were still waiting.
Before she could think of an excuse to refuse, Andrew was reprimanded by Daniel. “Nonsense. Olivia still has something to do. How can she keep you company here?”
Andrew had only been acting coquettishly to Olivia out of habit and had not considered anything else. Now that he heard his father’s reprimand, he immediately lowered his head in grievance.
His big eyes filled with tears.
Why was he crying? Olivia’s heart softened instantly. She coaxed him helplessly and wanted to hug him.
However, she was stopped midway.
Daniel held her wrist with one hand and said in a serious tone, “Olivia,

you don’t have to go along with him. How can a child’s request be satisfied completely? He will cry for a few hours at most. It’s not a big deal.”
Cry for a few hours?
Olivia’s heart softened even more.
Seeing this, Daniel’s eyes darkened. His well–defined face made it impossible to read his thoughts. He said, “Olivia, you don’t have to feel sorry for him. It’s fine for a child to cry. The key is that he can’t have a squeamish personality. If it were other children, it would be fine. Andrew doesn’t have a mother, so he has to learn to be strong.”
He had hit the nail on the head.
As soon as he said this, Olivia’s psychological defense instantly collapsed. She said repeatedly, “I don’t have anything important to do. I’ll stay here with him.”
Daniel’s lips curved into a smile, and his eyes shone brightly. However, he was good at disguising himself, so he quickly returned to normal. “Olivia, thank you so much.”
Olivia lay on the bed and slept with Andrew.
Daniel did not move. He looked at the empty space on the other side of Andrew and felt that he could still lie down.
Hence, he looked at Andrew suggestively.
Andrew thought that his father was saying goodbye to him, so he waved his little hand. “Goodbye, Daddy.”
Daniel was speechless.
What an unfilial son!
He left angrily and went to the living room to sit.
This was a suite with two bedrooms and a living room. In the past, Daniel especially liked to work at a desk in the living room, but today, sitting here, he didn’t like anything.
The sofa was too soft. He didn’t want to sit on it!
The chair was too high and he didn’t want to sit on it!
The second bedroom was too desolate. He didn’t want to lie down!
In the end, only the bed Olivia was lying in was the most comfortable.
Andrew was not clever enough, so he could not lie on the same bed as

Olivia. Daniel’s face had always been unhappy like an iceberg emitting cold air. Even the surrounding temperature had dropped a few degrees. When the butler came in to deliver fruits and yogurt, she shivered from the cold air emanating from Daniel.
After leaving, she complained to the lobby manager, “It’s all your fault. You insisted that you didn’t have any shoe covers. Mr. Sullivan must be angry.” She still had a lot of shoe covers in her pocket. The lobby manager said no and kept winking at her, so she didn’t take them out.
“What do you know?” The lobby manager glared at her. “Have you seen other women enter Mr. Sullivan’s room? Mr. Sullivan even let her wear his own shoes.”
“No.” The butler shook her head. There was not a single woman beside Mr. Sullivan, not even a female fly.
“That’s right.” The lobby manager smiled proudly. “Mr. Sullivan will be in love soon. Be smart and don’t ruin Mr. Sullivan’s good plan.”
In the room, Andrew couldn’t sleep at all.
After being delayed for such a long time, his sleepiness had long disappeared. Moreover, as a child, he was energetic and could not lie down at all.
He propped his legs up and looked at his feet.
After playing for a while, he felt that he was too ungentlemanly. Would Olivia dislike him?
He turned to look at Olivia, who was beside him, and realized that she had fallen asleep with her eyes closed.
“Olivia?” He called out.
There was no response. Olivia was sleeping very soundly. She had been really tired these days and had not slept well for a long time. Now that she was lying beside the little boy and smelling his fragrant and soft breath, she relaxed and fell asleep.
Daniel was sitting in the living room sulking when he saw Daniel coming out of the bedroom barefooted.
“What’s going on?” Daniel raised an eyebrow.
“Shh.” Andrew put his chubby hand to his lips and shushed him. “Be quiet. Olivia is asleep.”

Daniel walked to the bedroom door and pushed it open. His gaze fell on Olivia’s sleeping face, and a bad thought suddenly arose in his heart!
