Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde
Chapter 221-230

Chapter 220

Samuel left after the posts were sent on Reddit and became trending topics.

He didn’t have time to keep an eye on this matter. He didn’t spend so much money to hire so many people while he still had to do the work.

When he returned to the Taylor family’s place, Amelia came up to him and asked anxiously, “Samuel, how is it?”

Samuel raised a finger and glanced at Liam in the living room. He shushed her. “We’ll talk later.”

Liam looked at his sneaky expression and had a bad feeling. “Stop right there.”

“Dad.” Samuel sat on the sofa. “Don’t always look gloomy.”

Liam looked suspicious. He sized Samuel up for a while. “Did you go to find trouble with Olivia?”

“Please don’t wrong me.” Samuel spread out his hands. “I can’t even see her. How can I find trouble with her?”

Liam was impatient. “Alright, get lost. Don’t be an eyesore in front of me.”

Samuel gave Amelia a look and stomped upstairs.

After a while, Amelia came in.

She leaned against the door and looked at Samuel nervously. “How’s it going?”

“I’ve already sent the posts,” Samuel said in a deep voice. “But I didn’t use Twitter. The trending topics there been suppressed by the Sullivan family.”

For some reason, when Amelia heard this news, she suddenly relaxed. Then, she was a little worried. “Are the other platforms as influential as Twitter?”

“Don’t underestimate other platforms.” Samuel pointed at a short video platform on his phone. “It will affect the entire world.”

Amelia was stunned for a moment before she walked to the sofa and sat

down.

She felt like her stomach was churning and she wanted to throw up.

She forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit and muttered, “Samuel, don’t

go too far. I just want to save Emma, not kill Olivia.”

This afternoon, she couldn’t control herself at all. She couldn’t help but check what happened to those who had been subjected to cyberbullying. Those people committed suicide or went insane. All these shocking cases made Amelia terrified.

She was so afraid that Olivia would be forced into such a situation.

No matter how distant they were and how many conflicts they had, Amelia never wanted Olivia to die.

She was the one who gave birth to Olivia.

During this period, she kept dreaming about the past. Her memories of the past became clearer and clearer.

She remembered many things that happened when Olivia was young.

“Don’t worry.” Samuel placed his hand on Amelia’s shoulder. “She’s my daughter too. I feel the same way as you.”

After a pause, Samuel continued, “Don’t check your phone for the next few days in case you can’t take it anymore. I’ll get Lynn to stay with you.”

After some thought, he added, “I won’t be ruthless. As long as Olivia lowers herself, I’ll stop immediately.”

“Okay.” Amelia looked down.

After a while, Samuel made a video call to Emma.

Emma was online with a rare look of joy.

When she saw Samuel’s call, the first thing she said was, “Dad, have you sent the posts?”

Samuel nodded.

Emma frowned. “Then why didn’t I see them?”

“I didn’t send them on Twitter,” Samuel explained.

“I see.” Emma pursed her lips.

Samuel reminded her, “Don’t stare at your phone tonight. It’s the early stages of hyping. Everyone is arguing and saying everything. It will affect your emotions if you read those comments. Turn off your phone and laptop and have a good sleep. We’ll get the results tomorrow morning.”

Emma squeezed the mouse, not really wanting to turn off the laptop.

Samuel sighed. “I’m doing this for your good. We still have a tough battle to fight tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Emma looked down. “I’ll rest well and not read the comments.

Samuel heaved a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the call, Samuel went downstairs and turned to the dining room.

He did not eat much at night and was now a little hungry.

In the dining room, the chef was comforting his five–year–old daughter. During this period, the chef’s wife was sick and could not take care of the child. He had to bring the child to the Taylor family’s place. The chef specially explained the situation to the head of the family.

The Taylor family was not an unreasonable family. Moreover, the chef had worked for the family for a few years. They had some feelings for him, so they agreed.

However, this was the first time Samuel had seen this little girl.

The chef was very sensible. He usually brought his child to the servant’s bedroom and asked the familiar servant to help take care of her. She never appeared in front of the family.

The little girl was five years old and had been locked up for a few days. She was clearly not very happy. Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.

The chef was a man of 6 feet and 3 inches. His heart ached for her. He sat in a low position and pretended to be a dog and a gorilla. He made the little girl laugh in all kinds of ways.

Seeing this, Samuel was stunned.

He seemed to have done the same thing before, making faces to amuse his daughter.

However, such emotions only lasted for a moment.

Samuel quickly became indifferent again. He could not be soft–hearted toward his disobedient daughter. He had to teach her a lesson so that she would be obedient.

Moreover, he wasn’t trying to kill Olivia.

He just wanted to make her suffer at a certain point.

As long as she was obedient and not so stubborn, Samuel was still willing to offer her a place at the house.

After a simple meal, Samuel left the dining room.

As soon as Samuel left, the chef hurried to the servant’s cramped bedroom to fetch his daughter out.

The little girl had clearly cried. The tip of her nose was red. She was originally amused by her father’s grimace, but when Samuel arrived, she was told to go back to the bedroom.

In a moment of grievance, she cried.

“Be nice.” The chef was clumsy and coaxed his daughter gently.

The maid who was close to him felt her heartache when she saw this. “Isn’t her grandmother around? Let her take care of the girl. Why bring her to the Taylor family’s place? If she’s always locked in the small bedroom, she won’t be able to take it.”

The chef chuckled. “Her grandmother is old. I’m afraid she will lose the girl.”

“How could that be?” The maid had just spoken when she thought of the family head’s matter and hurriedly held back the urge to say the rest.

Then, she lowered her voice. “You’re right. You have to be more careful. If this child is lost, you won’t be able to find her again. Even if you find her, you will be distant.”

As she spoke, she pointed at the floor, hinting at the Taylor family.

The chef didn’t say anything, but he couldn’t understand at all.

If his daughter was lost and he found her, he would definitely dote on her even more. He would love to bring all the good things in the world to her.

How could Samuel be so heartless?

The chef sighed inwardly. “Alas. Perhaps the rich are more cold–blooded.”

Samuel lay down very early today and slept soundly until dawn.

He took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Previously, he had been depressed while dealing with Olivia. Today, he could finally feel carefree.

He took the phone from the bedside table and wanted to check his messages, but the phone was switched off.

The phone was dead.

He took out the charger and plugged it in. As soon as he turned his phone on, countless messages popped up.

They were all sent by the person in charge of the operations team.

Samuel couldn’t be bothered to read the messages and directly called.

The moment the person in charge picked up the phone, he said with a trembling voice, “Mr. Taylor, bad news. Our boss has been arrested!”

“What do you mean?” Samuel did not quite understand.

The person in charge calmed himself down and said truthfully, “Last night, when we first sent the posts on Reddit, they became quite popular, but after a while, they were blocked. Our boss called a certain manager of Reddit, but the manager didn’t answer at all. We had no choice but to change our accounts and continue sending posts. In the end, we were banned. After asking for almost two hours, we didn’t even get to send a single post.

“Unfortunately, we can only switch to short video websites.” The person in charge licked his dry lips with a terrified expression. “We got to upload videos on short video websites, which had a certain amount of popularity. The views were very high, but not long after, the videos were banned. We were unwilling to accept this and decided to make it big. We uploaded the videos with hundreds of accounts and then-”

The person in charge shivered. “Then, the police rushed in, detained everyone, and took our boss away.”

Samuel’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What do you mean? Are you with the police now? Then why are you calling me?”

The person in charge’s voice was soft. “Of course. I’m with them to confess. Mr. Taylor, get ready. The police will be at your place soon.”

“Bastard!” Samuel was furious.

“Hahaha.” The person in charge looked crazy. “You dragged us down with you. Do you still want to get away with what you’ve done? Do you know why the police arrested us? Do you know the crime of leaking information?

“Olivia Taylor is not an ordinary person at all! There are cyber police especially watching her news. All the information related to her on the Internet has been screened!

“Samuel Taylor, you’ve killed us!”

Chapter 222

It was in Gorshire.

Olivia was sitting on the sofa with her eyebrows half–lowered. She was holding a top hat in her hand and listening to the etiquette teacher teach noble etiquette.

It was not that she needed to learn it well.

It was just that for the sake of respect, she did not have to be rude. “People need to wear a top hat and gloves for high tea, but you’ll just be attending a banquet, so there’s no need for that, Ms. Taylor. The banquet is the most important moment, so you need to dress up in the grandest way. Although you don’t need to wear a top hat, you need to spend more effort on your hairstyle…”

As the etiquette teacher spoke, she glanced in the direction of Olivia.

Before she came, Mia had reminded her several times that Ms. Taylor was not familiar with the etiquette and asked the teacher to take care of her manners and behaviors.

When she did not see Olivia, the etiquette teacher thought that she was a young lady from a nouveau riche family. She frowned and was worried that it would not be easy to teach Olivia.

In the end, the etiquette teacher was stunned the moment she saw Olivia.

There was no need for Ms. Taylor to learn manners. Her every move was standard, and it was completely different from the stiffness of a Goshiren aristocrat. She had a casual, noble temperament.

There was only a slight difference between casualness and elegance.

Although Ms. Taylor’s expression was casual and a little lazy, there was no trace of vulgarity. Instead, she was elegant and impeccable.

The etiquette teacher did not know what she needed to teach. She could only say some conventional etiquette about the Gorshiren aristocracy.

Daniel came down from upstairs. Hearing the noise, the etiquette teacher subconsciously looked up.

Then, she was stunned again.

The man in front of her seemed to have walked out of the famous painting of the East. As if he was a born noble, he appeared elegant with every move of his.

Daniel sat beside Olivia. His voice was low and slow. “Do you need to take a rest?*

Olivia looked up at the etiquette teacher.

The etiquette teacher immediately understood. She nodded and

retreated to the other side with the top hat.

There was no news of Olivia in the Hushe Republic, which made Daniel feel a little more at ease.

However, suppressing the trending topics was only a temporary measure. The best way was to take the initiative.

Therefore, Daniel came over to ask Olivia if she needed to register an account on Twitter.

“Twitter?” Olivia took out her phone and pointed at the account on the screen. “I have an account on Twitter.”

Daniel looked down.

There were three words on the nickname, which were “Traditional Medicine Science.”

The account had almost 10 thousand followers.

“That’s not what I meant.” Daniel was amused. His well–defined fingers tapped on the nickname. “I want to use your real name to register an account and get your followers.”

Daniel had always liked to take the initiative. It was not his style to be passive.

Previously, because of Olivia, he could not go too hard on the Taylor family.

Now, if the Taylor family members still didn’t know how to restrain themselves, he would show them no mercy.

Daniel told Olivia about the benefits of operating a Twitter account. As long as she developed her fan base, her followers would naturally trust her. By then, no matter what the Taylor family did, no one would easily believe them.

Only by seizing the position of public opinion first could Olivia have the upper hand.

Olivia understood what Daniel meant.

She smiled and leaned forward. Her beautiful eyes seemed to contain the stars in the sky. “Are you worried about me?”

11:50

Daniel didn’t speak.

Why did he feel like he was being teased?

However, he was so happy.

He wanted to suppress his smile, but unfortunately, he couldn’t. He smiled radiantly.

Daniel was a very rational person. Even at such a happy moment, he was still thinking about serious matters.

He explained his worries about the Taylor family. Regardless of whether Samuel and Amelia had raised Olivia or not, as parents, they naturally had the advantage in regard to public opinion.

When Olivia dealt with them, she could not avoid being restrained. It wouldn’t work if she used an insignificant counterattack. If his

counterattack was too serious, she would easily be criticized.

Daniel did not want Olivia to be passive, nor did he want her to resist the attacks from her biological parents alone. Therefore, he decided to shield her.

Olivia looked at Daniel with wet eyes.

She wondered, “Why is this man so adorable?

“I love him!”

She raised her hand and tapped the tip of his nose. Olivia’s expression was indifferent, but there was calm arrogance in her leisurely voice.

“Don’t worry. They can’t hurt me.”

Twitter followers meant nothing to her. No matter how many followers there were, they were just relying on the platform and were limited.

Samuel and Amelia wanted to use public opinion to coerce Olivia, but she did not need to fight with them in regard to public opinion at all.

She did not like to expose her background and privacy to the public and let others point fingers at her.

The public only needed to know her name was Olivia Taylor, what results she had gotten with her research, and what awards she had won.

As for her background, others didn’t need to know it.

Olivia smiled. Her eyes were gloomy, and her tone was terribly indifferent. “Who said I’m a member of the Taylor family? I have nothing to do with Samuel and Amelia.”

In the past, she was the one who missed the Taylor family and yearned for her parents‘ love. That was why they could get her information and reach her. They could use these threats to limit her.

Now that she had given up on the Taylor family, they could no longer control her.

The Taylor family did not understand the most important thing at all. When she wanted to acknowledge the family, they were her family. If she did not want to acknowledge the Taylor family, they were nothing to her. They could forget about having anything to do with her.

No matter what she would do in the future, no matter how much she had achieved, she only had one relative in her profile, and that was Isaac.

As for those people from the Taylor family, none of them had anything to do with her.

Daniel was completely stunned and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

Olivia blinked and thought that Daniel looked so cute that way.

She raised her finger and lifted Daniel’s well–defined chin. She said in a low voice, “With me around, no one will be able to hurt you any longer.” Daniel was speechless.

He was really caught off guard.

He wondered, “She seems so domineering and powerful!

“What should I do? Should I act like a delicate husband and rely on her?”

When Amelia received the news of Samuel’s arrest, she seemed to have lost her pillar and panicked.

The Green family members were worried about her, so Mr. Green, Cathy, and Maddie followed her over.

It was cold and silent at the Taylor family’s place.

The servants held their breaths and wished they could curl up into a ball.

Liam sat in the living room. It was as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

When Mr. Green saw this, he was stunned and could not speak for a long time.

“What happened? How did Samuel leak state secrets? Is it a misunderstanding?” Mr. Green frowned.

This matter was too ridiculous. How could Samuel leak state secrets? It was absolutely impossible.

“And about Emma. How could someone report her? Dad, have you asked your guys about it?” Amelia looked anxious.

Liam slowly looked up and glanced at Amelia. His gaze was deep and complicated.

Amelia was stunned.

For some reason, she was a little afraid of Liam’s gaze and

subconsciously tugged at her mother’s sleeve.

Cathy shielded her daughter behind her and said with an unhappy expression, “Liam, Samuel is in trouble. I know you’re in a bad mood now, but you can’t take it out on our Green family.”

“Heh.” Liam sneered. “Your Green family? I can’t believe what you just did. Since she’s from your family, hurry up and take her away. Our Taylor family can’t handle your people!”

What was going on?

Cathy was originally unhappy that Liam vented his anger on Amelia, but when she heard what he said, the expression on her face instantly froze.

Mr. Green also looked up, his eyes filled with shock.

The Taylor and Green families had been in–laws for many years and had always been on good terms. This was the first time Liam had not shown respect to the Green family.

Mr. Green frowned.

It seemed that Samuel was really in trouble.

Moreover, he was in big trouble.

Mr. Green, reacted very quickly and realized that something was wrong. He immediately turned around and reprimanded Cathy, “Shut up! Right now is not the time to argue about that.”

Then, he looked at Liam with a cold expression. “Liam, tell me in detail what happened to Samuel so we can try our best to come up with a plan.” Liam remained silent.

Mr. Green waited for a long time, but Liam did not say a word. Thus, Mr. Green suddenly became anxious, and his tone became worried. “Liam, say something. What happened to Samuel?”

Liam was still silent. His eyes were dim, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Maddie looked at William and frowned. “William, go ahead.”

William tilted his head and looked at Maddie seriously. “I don’t know.”

“He doesn’t know?” Maddie and Mr. Green were both shocked and thought.

They thought Liam did not say anything because Samuel’s matter was too complicated. To their surprise, Liam simply did not know anything. After the initial shock, Maddie’s expression turned even gloomier.

The less information there was, the less room for interference they had.

William explained in a low voice, “The information was given by the National Security Bureau, and that’s not a place one can penetrate easily. Dad doesn’t dare to do anything at all. He doesn’t even dare to contact his connections. Besides…”

William paused and looked at Maddie. “We have to keep Dad’s arrest a secret, too. Don’t let anyone know.”

Mr. Green’s expression darkened. “So, there’s nothing we can do?”

William nodded. “We can only wait.”

At this moment, Amelia, who was hiding behind Cathy, poked her head out and whispered, “What about Emma?”

Cathy turned around and glared at her.

Then, she said, “That’s not your issue. I’ll get Maddie to find out what exactly is going on with Emma. If…”

Speaking of this, Cathy was suddenly stunned. She seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, “Could Samuel’s accident have something to do with Emma? This is too much of a coincidence.”

Then, she stared at Amelia and asked, “Tell me, did Samuel do something before the accident?”

Amelia looked confused. “He didn’t. We only wanted to apologize to Olivia online and ask her to forgive us.”

Olivia!

Cathy keenly caught a keyword. She looked up and instructed Maddie, “Maddie, don’t you have her contact information? Give her a call.”

Maddie hesitated. “I thought we can’t leak the news? Olivia is overseas now. Should we really call her?”

Cathy said, “Don’t mention Samuel. Just talk about Emma and ask if she was the one who reported Emma.”

Maddie hesitated.

Seeing this, Cathy was furious. She raised her hand and pinched Maddie. “This is not the time to hesitate! Hurry up and call her.”

Maddie dialed the number.

Cathy frowned. “Put it on speakers.”

Maddie took a deep breath and pressed the speaker button.

Olivia picked up the call very soon. “Aunt Maddie.”

Maddie glanced at her mother and said, “Olivia, I have something to ask you. Did you report Emma?”

Olivia was wearing home clothes and reading a book on the bed.

It was a book about Gorshire etiquette.

Her reading speed was really quick, turning a page in almost less than 10 seconds. It did not take long before she already finished more than half of the book.

When she received the call from Maddie, she was looking at the outfit etiquette.

After flipping a page, she said casually, “I told you not to provoke me.”

Maddie paused and subconsciously grabbed her phone tighter.

She wanted to turn off the speakerphone.

Amelia had already snatched the phone away. At this moment, she had

almost gone berserk. “Olivia, it’s really you. How dare you? How dare you report Emma? Your father is right. You have no conscience at all!”

“My father?” Olivia rolled her eyes and closed the book. “Madam Taylor, you knew my father, too?”

“What?” Amelia thought. She was confused and did not understand what Olivia meant.

Cathy pressed down on Amelia and took the phone from her hand. Then, she tried to talk down to Olivia as an elder. “Olivia, how can you talk to your mother like this? No matter how wrong your mother is, she gave birth to you, and you owe it to her.

“I’m not asking you to be filial and considerate. I just hope that you won’t make her angry. Can’t you even do that?”

“You know my mother, too?” Olivia was interested. Her tone became sad and bleak. “Unfortunately, I don’t know my parents much. They passed away when I was five…”

What the hell?

Everyone was dumbfounded and stiffened like statues.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Cathy’s face froze, and her eyebrows twitched. “Your mother is still alive and well. You’re not holding a grudge against Samuel and Amelia for not recognizing you, are you? No matter how angry you are, you can’t curse them like this!”

“I’m sorry, you must have misunderstood. I have nothing to do with the Taylor and the Green family, and I’m not the Taylor family’s lost daughter.” Olivia’s tone was cold. It was obvious that she did not want to talk about it anymore. “There’s an interview about me on the New York Times. If you have any questions, you can go take a look.”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Cathy was stunned for a moment before calling again.

But Olivia did not pick up anymore.

William moved quickly and took out a laptop very soon. He opened the New York Times website and searched for Olivia’s exclusive interview.

All six people looked over in unison.

On it was a clear description of Olivia’s background. Her father was Jonathan Taylor, Layfield Hospital’s surgeon. Although Jonathan’s surname was also Taylor, he was not a member of the Taylor family. Olivia’s mother was Jessie Taylor, an ICU nurse at the Smith Hospital in

Layfield. After Olivia’s parents died when she was five, she was adopted by the Smith Hospital’s director, Isaac.

How could this be?

This time, the six of them were all completely dumbfounded.

With the New York Times‘ confirmation, in the future, even if they told people that Olivia was a member of their family, no one would believe them.

Amelia sat on the sofa in a daze. She just froze there and did not know

how to react.

Her mind was blank right now.

“Is Olivia really not my child?”

As soon as Amelia said this, Liam denied it. “Impossible. Olivia is the Taylor family’s bloodline. The paternity test result is still in the study.”

As he spoke, he looked up and instructed William, “Bring the report over.”

William turned around and went upstairs. After a while, he came back empty–handed with a strange expression. “The report is missing.”

Liam could not believe it. The report had always been upstairs. No one ever took it. How could it have disappeared all of a sudden?

Impossible, this was absolutely impossible!

Seeing that his grandfather was anxious, William became worried about Liam’s health. He quickly said, “Don’t worry. The test center should have the records. I’ll call them now and ask them to check.”

Liam’s face turned pale. “Hurry up and call them.”

William immediately called the test center. He knew someone there. When that person heard that William wanted to check the records, he immediately agreed. “Wait a moment. I’ll check it now. It’ll be quick.”

“Thanks a lot.” William turned to Liam and said in a comforting tone, “Grandpa, see, don’t worry. There’s a record.”

Fifteen minutes later, William’s friend’s puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone. “Strange, strange. This is so strange. Why can’t I find anything? The records are gone. There’s no trace at all.”

Both the paper files and the electronic files were all gone!

How could this be?

The entire Irving room fell into dead silence.

Liam’s lips moved. He wanted to say something, but it was as if something was stuck in his throat, and he could not utter a single word. Cathy was still holding Maddie’s phone in her hand. Her eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, and she had an extremely confused expression

She recalled her tough tone and words to Olivia.

She said that the parents were always right. No matter how bad or how wrong the parents were, they gave birth to the child, and the child should be filial

But now…

Cathy gripped the phone tightly, her face full of embarrassment.

Mr. Green and Maddie lowered their eyes. Shocked by this sudden change, they were at a loss for words for a long time.

Amelia was even more confused, and her mind was completely blank.

She panicked, and she was helpless.

All along, she had always treated Olivia as her daughter. Even if she did not like or dote on her, she had never denied the fact that Olivia was her daughter.

She took all of her requests, instructions, and orders to Olivia for granted. To her, they were only right and proper.

Olivia was her daughter. She gave birth to Olivia. She was Olivia’s mother.

As a mother, of course, she had the right and reprimand to teach her daughter.

The thought of Olivia not being her daughter had never even crossed her mind at all!

All of Amelia’s self–righteousness dissipated at this moment.

Apart from that, there was also a faint pain in her heart.

This pain was very tiny, but it silently expanded and fermented from her heart. In the end, it slowly spread to her entire body, making even her

bones ache.

Amelia bit her lower lip hard. She felt as if a piece of her heart had been dug out.

The girl that she had ever had any expectations of, and even hated, finally had nothing to do with her!

Amelia slowly curled up her body. Her heart ached so much that her vision turned black.

Finally, no longer able to endure the palpitating pain, she suddenly fainted.

“Mom!”

“Amelia!”

After a series of exclamations, people came and went in a chaotic

manner.

After an unknown period of time, Amelia gradually woke up. In a daze, she heard an argument.

“Mom, are you crazy? At a time like this, you still want to talk about

Olivia? She’s no longer the Taylor family’s daughter. The Taylor family doesn’t want her to be part of the family, right? Isn’t this situation exactly what we wanted?”

“Maddie!” Cathy was furious. Her face was enraged. “Whose side are you on?”

Maddie crossed her arms and said coldly, “I’ll stand on whichever side is right. The New York Times has already come to a conclusion, so what’s the point of dwelling on it? Do you think it’s so easy to do a paternity test? If Olivia doesn’t agree, you won’t be able to do it!”

Cathy’s face darkened. “I don’t care. Think of a way. Don’t you have a good relationship with Olivia? Go to Gorshire and think of a way to get her hair. We must do a paternity test!”

Mr. Green also said, “Maddie, we’re not forcing you. Your sister may sometimes say harsh things, but you know she’s soft–hearted. She keeps saying that she doesn’t care about Olivia, but in fact, she still misses her daughter very much. She’s not in good health to begin with. If anything happens to her because of this, won’t you feel guilty?”

Maddie was at a loss for words.

“Maddie,” Mr. Green continued. “Your sister has already lost Olivia once. Can you bear to let her lose Olivia a second time?”

The anger accumulated in Maddie’s heart exploded with a bang when Mr. Green said this.

Her expression became serious. She looked up at her father and said word by word, “I can bear it. Why can’t I? At your birthday banquet, she personally said that Olivia is not her daughter. How can she go back on her words now?

“When Olivia cared about her, she ignored Olivia and treated Olivia cruelly and coldly. When Olivia became utterly disappointed in her, she regretted it and felt terrible. Why is she so shameless? Now that Olivia doesn’t care about her at all, she suddenly acts like Olivia is so important to her!”

“Smack!” A loud slap was heard.

Cathy’s chest heaved violently, and her eyes were extremely sharp and furious. “Maddie, how can you say that about your sister? Do you have a conscience? A heart? She’s your sister, and she’s sick. You should take care of her and understand her. How can you say such things? You disappoint me!”

Maddie tilted her head and did not move for a long time.

After a while, she slowly turned her head.

Looking at her furious mother, she laughed self–depreciatingly. “Am I not understanding enough? Have I not given her enough understanding?”

Maddie blinked, wanting to blink away the tears in her eyes. However, her eyes only became more and more wet.

She took a deep breath and said with difficulty. “Mom, I’m already in my forties. I’ve been in charge of the Green family for more than a decade. Do you still think of me as a child?”

Maddie did not want to be so direct about it, but she could not help it.

“Why don’t you let the Taylor family find Olivia? Why don’t you let William find Olivia?” Maddie sneered. “Because you know that this matter is very strange. To be able to take the paternity test report from the Taylor family without leaving a trace, erase the records of the identification center, and let the New York Times confirm the matter means that the person behind Olivia is very powerful. It is so powerful that the Taylor family is unwilling to go against it, let alone dare to fight it.

“So, you’re telling me to go find Olivia. Even if I anger her, I can still use the relationship between her and me to ease things. If I really can’t, then you’ll push me out to take the blame. Anyway, Yosef and Calvin are already old enough to enter the Green Group.”

These words were too hurtful.

However, Maddie had been holding them in for more than 20 years. She had to let it out.

Back then, she already had a boyfriend of equal status and was about to get engaged. In the end, something happened to her father, and he injured his leg.

Her oldest elder brother Dennis liked to draw, was lazy and naive, and could not support the Green Group at all. Her second oldest elder brother Tony loved to play and mess around, was wild, and did not want to be restrained by responsibility.

Thus, what choice did she have? She could only step up and take charge!

She was forced to break up with her boyfriend because her father was worried that after she got married, she would side with her husband’s family and give the Green Group to them.

She loved to play piano so much, but she stopped playing because she did not have the time nor the energy to. She had to put all her focus on the Green Group.

Initially, Maddie did not think too much about it. Even though she realized that her parents were biased towards her sister, she did not take it seriously because she loved her sister and everyone in the Green family.

However, the longer she took charge of the Green Group, the more conflict she had with her father. As time went on, her heart gradually turned cold.

Tony had never given her the slightest respect at home. He even got physical and wanted to chase her out.

Maddie refused to believe that her father did not know about that.

She was certain that he just pretended not to know and allowed Tony to humiliate her.

In the past two years, after her nephew Yosef had returned from studying abroad and entered the Group, the conflict between her and Yosef had only become more and more intense.

In fact, it gradually got so bad that it became almost irreconcilable. Although her father appeared to be impartial on the surface, he privately gave all his shares to Yosef. He even reprimanded her several times in front of everyone at the shareholders‘ meeting to damage her prestige. It was not that Maddie did not want to let go of the Green Group, She was already 44 years old this year and had never been married, let alone had children. To her, her nephews were no different from her own children.

She really wanted to nurture her nephew to inherit the Green Group, but Yosef was too young now, and his methods were too immature. Thus, she was worried and could not let him take charge of everything.

Unexpectedly, because of this worry, she was hated by Yosef and suspected by her father.

Cathy did not expect her daughter to have so many complaints.

“Maddie…” She called out with a helpless expression. “Why would you think of your father and me like that? I just thought that you had a good relationship with Olivia and could get her hair, so I told you to go. Moreover, I only hit you because I was too anxious and worried about your sister. I didn’t plan to let you be the scapegoat and take the blame.” “Also, about Ronald,” Cathy explained anxiously. “You know how much of an idiot he is. You’re so sensible. Why lower yourself to his level?”

Maddie lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered. After a while, she said, “I won’t look for Olivia.”

“Maddie…” Cathy frowned. “What happened to you? Why are you so selfish now? Your sister is sick. As her sister, why aren’t you willing to help her with this?”

Maddie looked up and said calmly, “Haven’t I helped her enough? She’s already in her fifties and is no longer a little girl. Some things should be handled by herself. She can’t rely on others anymore.”

Hearing this, Cathy was even more disappointed. She just pointed at Maddie, but could not come up with a single word to say even after a long time.

At this moment, Mr. Green, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.

“Maddie, you have to understand that without me, without the Green family, you wouldn’t be who you are today.

“Don’t get cocky just because people treat you as the president of the group. Sometimes, the platform is more important than one’s ability. “Also, let me remind you that if I can give you the president of the Green Group. I can also take it away from you.

“You say I’m unfair and biased towards Yosef, right? In that case, I’ll show you what true bias is,”

Mr. Green’s tone was cold and merciless.

Maddie was stunned. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at her father.

Then, she looked down and said in a low voice, “Alright, you don’t have to do it. I’ll resign.”

With that, she pushed the door open and left.

“Maddie!” Cathy called out. She wanted to chase after Maddie, but she was worried about the unconscious Amelia on the bed. Thus, she could only stomp her feet comprehensively.

She complained to Mr. Green, “Why did you have to say those things? You clearly know that your daughter has a grudge in her heart. Why did you have to provoke her?”

Mr. Green was also very surprised.

He had said those words on purpose to provoke Maddie and force her to give in. After all, he always thought that she had a soft personality and would always end up apologizing.

He did not expect her to resign directly.

After recovering from his shock, Mr. Green felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, he was really enraged.

“Let her leave. I want to see what she can do if she leaves the Green Group.” Mr. Green snorted coldly. Clearly, after letting her take charge of the Green Group as the president for so many years, it seemed that it had fed her ambition.

So much so that she had forgotten that she would not be where she was today without the Green family!

Plus, how dare she blame Ronald? If it were not for the fact that Rolnad was not interested in the family business, she would not even have had the chance to enter the Green Group.

What an ingrate!

Chapter 225

“Mom.” When Amelia woke up, the first thing she did was grab Cathy’s hand and ask to visit Emma.

Cathy was still worried about Maddie and was visibly distracted. However, when Amelia shook her wrist, her mind returned to Amelia. She pressed down on Amelia’s shoulder to let her lie down and comforted her. “Don’t worry, your brother Roland and William have already gone over. We’ll hear news from them very soon.”

Amelia was still worried. She held her mother’s hand tightly. “Mom, doesn’t Dad know the police chief, Leonard? Let’s call and ask.” Cathy raised her hand to wipe away the sweat on her daughter’s forehead. Her heart ached. “Don’t worry. The Taylor family and the Green family families will go over personally. Leonard will certainly consider their request.”

“Mom…” Amelia was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Cathy looked at Mr. Green helplessly.

Mr. Green sighed. “Alas, children never let me rest.”

With that, he took out his phone and called Leonard. “Leonard”

Leonard interrupted Mr. Green before he could say anything and pleaded, “Mr Green, Mr. Green, please don’t make things difficult for me. I really can’t do this.”

Mr. Green froze and subconsciously looked at Cathy.

The couple looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, Mr. Green said, “Leonard, I–I haven’t said what it is yet.”

Leonard sighed. “What can it be? It’s about your granddaughter, Emma, isn’t it? Let me tell you the truth. She’s definitely going to jail. No one can do anything for her, not even the chairman of the state!”

At this point, Leonard took a sip of water and calmed himself down. He continued, “Mr. Green, you know we’ve been friends for many years. There are too many things involved, and I can’t tell you too clearly. But on account of our many years of friendship, I’ll tell you what I can. Don’t interfere, no matter what. Don’t involve the entire Green family.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

What did Leonard mean?

This time, Mr. Green was completely stunned and could not come back to his senses even after a long time.

Cathy had to call out several times before Mr. Green looked up in a daze.

Then, his expression suddenly turned serious.

He warned Amelia, “Just wait for the court to decide on Emma’s matter. Don’t use any connections.” He also instructed his wife, “Keep an eye on her. Bring a lawyer over later to see Emma. You’re not allowed to go again after that.”

“Dad! What are you talking about?” Amelia could not believe what she had heard and could not help but shout.

Mr. Green, who had always doted on her, did not show any mercy this time. His expression was cold. “Amelia, your sister is right. You’re already in your 50s. You should know some things. Do you want to drag the entire Green family into this for an adopted daughter?”

Mr. Green was willing to dote on his daughter and pamper Amelia, but the prerequisite was not harming the Green family. Once it involved the Green family, even if Emma died, he would not even bat an eye.

All these years, he felt that he had done enough for Amelia. He did not owe her anything.

Although Cathy felt sorry for Amelia, she had always been on the same side as Mr. Green. She turned to persuade Amelia, “Amelia, I know you feel sorry for Emma, but you should also think about me and your father. You can’t drag the entire Green family down for Emma and disregard the Green family’s reputation.”

Amelia had always been soft–hearted. When she heard her mother’s words, she immediately did not know what to do anymore. Suddenly, she was lost.

“Then, what about Emma?”

Cathy comforted Amelia. “Don’t worry. Let’s hire a good lawyer for Emma and try to reduce her sentence as much as possible. Moreover, even if she really goes to jail, it doesn’t matter. There are many ways. We can get her medical parole, create an invention under her name, or do something to give her a chance to sacrifice herself to save someone or something like that. That way, her sentence will be reduced very quickly. At most, she will be in jail for a few months.”

Amelia was quickly appeased.

Cathy took Amelia and her lawyer to the police station to see Emma.

Emma had already met William, so she had a rough idea of the situation. Therefore, she did not have any special reaction when he saw Amelia, especially when Cathy was there too.

She only had one request. She wanted to call David, who was in Gorshire.

The lawyer went over to negotiate. Amelia shook Emma’s hand across the table, her eyes filled with apology.

“Emma, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Emma lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before saying, “Where’s Dad?”

Until now, Emma was still in a daze. She was still at a loss.

She did not understand. Her family was already clearly prepared to attack. She had successfully persuaded her parents to use public opinion to force Olivia into a corner. Everything was prepared.

She only needed to wait quietly and would be out of the sanatorium

soon.

Why did everything change all of a sudden?

There was nothing about Olivia on the Internet. Olivia was not forced into a corner at all. Instead, Emma was reported and thrown into jail.

How in the world did things turn out like this?

Emma could not figure it out and felt even more helpless.

After a while, David’s call went through.

The lawyer handed the phone to Emma.

On the other end, David had only said, “Hey.”

And Emma already could not control her emotions and cried out. “David, David…”

Since reaching Gorshire, David had not contacted Emma for a long time. When he first heard Emma’s voice, he was a little stunned. It took him a while to react and realize it was her.

He hurriedly comforted her. “Emma, don’t cry. What’s wrong? Don’t cry.”

Emma cried her eyes out for a while before sniffing and saying, “David, something happened to me. Someone reported me for falsifying my medical records.”

“How did this happen? Who reported it?” David frowned.

Emma sneered. “Who do you think? Who else could it be?”

David was silent. In his heart, he felt that it should not be Olivia. If Olivia wanted to report Emma, she would have done so long ago. Why would

she wait until now?

However, Emma was in a bad mood, so David did not want to argue with her about this and could only remain silent.

“David…” Emma’s voice was helpless. “I have no other choice right now. Help me beg her. Beg her to me go. I promise I won’t fight with her for anything in the future. I don’t want the Taylor family either. Please, I really don’t want to go to jail.”

“Beg who?” David could not react in time.

Emma said, “Olivia is now in Gorshire. She’s with Daniel.”

David frowned. He wanted to say something, but before he could,

William snatched away the phone from Emma.

He walked to the side and said in a low voice, “Just study. We’ll handle the rest. You don’t have to interfere.”

“William.” David felt terrible. “Was it really Olivia?”

William was stunned. He did not expect David to have doubts.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that this was good. Now that the Taylor family and the others had already fallen out with Olivia, Olivia probably would not take her anger out on David since David was still young. It was good to have him in the middle to ease their relationship.

He said, “Emma’s matter is very complicated. I don’t know who reported her either. But no matter who it was, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don’t get involved.”

David replied with a “hmm“, but no one knew if he listened to William’s words.

Chapter 226

A long time had passed since the call ended, yet David was still sitting in his chair in a daze.

His mind was in a mess, and he could not tell who was right and who was

wrong.

Two little people were jumping around and chattering in his mind.

One said, “Olivia must have reported Emma, causing Emma to go to jail.” One denied, “How is that possible? Olivia doesn’t look like someone who would do that. She has always been distant and rarely gets involved in the Taylor family’s matters.”

It was so noisy that David had a headache.

He lay on the bed with his head in his hands and kicked with his long legs.

Unable to figure it out, David called Yvonne, who was far away in Mala.

Ever since David came to Gorshire to study, he gradually grew apart from Emma. Instead, he became closer to Yvonne.

Yvonne was different from Emma’s delicate and slender appearance. Although she looked gentle and refined on the outside, she was strong on the inside and was very knowledgeable about many things.

She had helped David to figure out many things that he could not understand.

When David first arrived at Gorshire, he did not know anything. After leaving the familiar environment in the country, he was surrounded by unfamiliar people and things.

It was Yvonne who flew over and accompanied him for a while.

Only then did he gradually adapt to the environment.

“Yvonne, I have something to ask you.”

“Okay.” Yvonne nodded. “Go ahead.”

David said, “Do you know that Emma got reported?”

Yvonne paused and said in a surprised tone, “You’ve heard?”

David sat up and widened his eyes. “You know about it too? Emma said

that Olivia reported her. Is that true?”

Yvonne looked troubled and hesitated for a while. “It’s hard to say if it was Olivia who reported her. It’s just a speculation.” Yvonne sighed. “Don’t blame Emma for making such a guess. She’s too frightened. I’m sure you know what it’s like to be in jail. She’s the daughter of a wealthy family. Never mind that she was in a sanatorium, but now she’s even going to jail. How can she bear it?”

Yvonne’s tone was filled with pity. “You didn’t see Emma’s appearance. She’s so thin that you can almost see her bones. It made my heart ache just looking at her.”

David’s jaw tightened, and his expression turned cold. “Did something happen?”

Yvonne hesitated. “Don’t worry about it. Study hard. You…”

Before she could finish, David interrupted her coldly. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go back immediately and ask.”

“Don’t be rash!” Yvonne was anxious. Then, she looked helpless as she said, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll tell you, alright? It’s like this. Emma hasn’t been eating or sleeping well in the sanatorium. She has lost a lot of weight. Uncle and Aunt were heartbroken, so they wanted to find Olivia and apologize to her so that they could bring Emma home to recuperate.”

At this point, Yvonne paused for a moment. “As you know, Olivia is angry at the Taylor family. She completely cut ties with the Taylor family. Now, she doesn’t answer the Taylor family’s calls anymore. Uncle and Aunt can’t find her, so they have no choice but to apologize online.

“Unexpectedly, such an unintentional move caused Olivia to

misunderstand. She thought that Uncle and Aunt wanted to use public opinion to force her. In a fit of anger, she reported Emma.”

“Did she really report Emma?” David’s lips trembled, and his face turned ashen.

“This is too much!” David stood up and punched the pillow.

His face was filled with boiling rage.

Emma had indeed done something wrong, but she had already received the punishment she deserved and had been locked up in the sanatorium.

What else did Olivia want? Did she want to force Emma to her death?

The more David thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he was furious.

He had to meet Olivia and question her face–to–face.

Did she have a heart? Was her heart made of steel? How could she be so merciless?

“David, don’t be reckless!” Yvonne’s tone was nervous. She deliberately said, “Olivia now has the Sullivan family as her backer. You are no match for her alone in Gorshire. You can’t fight her head–on. Be careful not to anger her and hurt yourself.”

Upon hearing this, David was even more enraged. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. He wished he could rush to Olivia and question her at this very instant.

“Yvonne, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” David said coldly.

Yvonne leaned back in her chair and crossed her left leg. She tilted her head and said in a low voice, “David, remember what I said. You can’t be rash. Even if you really go to Olivia, don’t be stupid and ask directly. Daniel is by her side. In order to protect her image, she will most definitely push the responsibility to Uncle and Aunt. Moreover, you’re alone. I’m afraid something will happen to you.”

“Does she think that with Daniel as her backer, she can do whatever she wants and bully others at will?” David sneered. “Then I’ll take her backer away. Let’s see how cocky she can be by then.”

This time, David was truly enraged.

In the past, because Olivia reminded him that there was a medicine in the blood that could make him feel irritable, he had always remembered her kindness.

Even if Emma was sent to a sanatorium because of her, David did not say anything.

But now, he really could not take it anymore!

Since Olivia did not treat the Taylor family as her family, he did not mind not showing any mercy to her.

David knew that Duke Devonstern had invited Daniel to the dinner.

He had heard from his classmate, Athene, who was Duke Devonstern’s granddaughter. She had even asked him if he wanted to go.

David was not interested in such banquets. Plus, he was not familiar with Daniel.

Now that he knew that Olivia was also in Gorshire and was with Daniel,

he was certainly going to attend Duke Devonstern’s banquet.

Thinking of this, David snorted.

He knew that Olivia was only so arrogant because of Daniel, and she was invited to the banquet by Duke Devonstern because of that, too. Thus, he planned to embarrass her at the banquet!

After hanging up the call with Yvonne, David called Athene.

Athene was bored out of her mind at home. She was casually flipping through a fashion magazine.

When she received a call from David, she was so overjoyed that she jumped up high. “David, why are you calling?”

Hearing Athene’s excited tone, David curled his lips imperceptibly with a smug look on his face.

It was said that Gorshire aristocrats were arrogant and xenophobic. They basically did not interact with other international students.

The foreign students from Hushen were all in their own circles and never interacted with the children of the local nobles and tycoons.

David was the only one to integrate into the local aristocratic circle.

This was all thanks to Athene.

“I wish to attend the banquet hosted by Duke Devonstern,” David directly stated his intention.

When he first came into contact with Athene, David was still a little

cautious. He was cautious in every aspect and paid attention to his words and actions.

However, as time passed, David realized that Athene was very good to him. She would hardly refuse any of his requests and even brought him to know other nobles.

Slowly, David became egotistical and took everything for granted.

When Yvonne found out, she even teased him, saying that he was so charming that he could charm even Gorshire noble ladies.

“You want to come to the banquet? Sure,” Athene immediately agreed. Then, her tone changed, and she suddenly said, “I’ve already invited you to my house. Are you going to invite me to your house too? I heard that Hushen celebrates Christmas when all family members will gather together.”

David was stunned. Did Athene want to meet his parents?

Her face started to turn red gradually.

Chapter 227

Athene first met Olivia eight years ago, when she went to Hushen with her grandfather at the age of 12.

On the way, her grandfather had a very severe illness and could not even move. It was so serious that they did not have time to return home for

treatment.

Back then, someone recommended Isaac to her grandfather.

In the past, Athene had looked down on alternative medicine and felt that they were just lies, similar to magic.

Unexpectedly, the alternative medicine that she looked down on actually cured her grandfather.

This was the first time she had seen the wonders of alternative medicine. There was no need for surgery. It it took was a few needles, and her grandfather was magically cured.

At that time, Athene had always been by her grandfather’s side.

She knew very well.

Although on the surface, it was Isaac, the miracle doctor, who cured her grandfather, the person who actually performed the acupuncture was the girl who was only four years older than her. Isaac was only supporting that girl from the side.

That was exactly when Athene was completely dumbfounded!

She looked at the girl’s hand in fascination.

What a miraculous pair of hands. Those hands could actually treat an old man who was in critical condition in an instant.

Later, after her grandfather recovered from his illness, she was the one who chose the hairpin that was auctioned at Sotheby’s London.

Athene felt that there was no one in the world more suitable for this hairpin than Olivia.

After returning to Gorshire, Athene tried to visit Olivia in Hushen several times but was always stopped mercilessly by her grandfather.

Later, she wanted to call Olivia and invite her to come to Gorshire as a guest, but she learned from Isaac that Olivia had found her biological parents and might not have time to go abroad for a while.

Athene was not disappointed. Instead, she was sincerely happy for Olivia. She knew Olivia too well. She knew how much Olivia wanted and valued her family.

Therefore, Athene immediately searched for information about the Taylor family online. She learned everything about the Taylor family and got to know David.

After meeting David at school and learning that he had come to Gorshire as an exchange student, Athene was overjoyed and used her greatest enthusiasm to familiarize him with everything here.

She wondered. If she treated Olivia’s younger brother well, would Olivia like her more?

On the day of the banquet, because Daniel had something to discuss with Duke Devonstern, he had to go early.

“You’re going there early?” Mia squeezed the armrest of the sofa

nervously. “What about us?”

For the past few days, Mia had not been resting well, all because she was worried that something would go wrong during the banquet.

Initially, since she was supposed to go together with Daniel, she felt a slight sense of security.

Now, Daniel was actually going there early!

Mia was dumbfounded and panic–stricken.

Daniel leaned against the sofa with his eyebrows lowered. His posture was lazy, and his expression was a little nonchalant. His gaze would only brighten when it landed on Olivia.

Hearing Mia’s words, he hummed softly and said calmly, “Mia, you can come with me, or you can wait until the banquet starts.”

Mia heaved a sigh of relief.

She decided to go with Daniel. That way, she would feel more secure.

Mia, who was more or less relieved, turned to Olivia. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Olivia look up and say casually, “I’ll go over later.”

Olivia did not like banquets and cocktail parties, but she did not really hate them either.

However, she would occasionally feel that it was better to sit down quietly and read a book instead of wasting her time on those things.

Moreover, if she went there early, she would have to stay in the Duke’s

Mansion for almost the entire day.

Of course, one would always be a little uncomfortable and not so at ease. Sitting on the sofa, Mia’s heart was already mostly at ease, but when she heard Olivia’s words, she immediately became apprehensive again.

She did not expect Olivia to say that she wanted to go later.

Mia’s heart tightened. She was puzzled and suggested in a soft voice, “Olivia, let’s go with Daniel.”

Olivia shook her head. Her expression was calm but firm.

Mia did not know what to do.

She could not understand why Olivia did not want to go with Daniel. “Why?” She asked. She felt that going alone would be so awkward. After all, they did not know anyone there.

Was Olivia worried that she would disturb Daniel’s discussion?

Or was she afraid that there would be no place for her to do her styling? After Mia thought of a few reasons, she suddenly felt that it made sense to go later.

Olivia said, “I promised Jojo that I would take it for a walk in the afternoon.”

Jojo was a pitch–black pony with snow–white hooves.

Just because of this reason?

Mia was stunned. After a while, she said, “You can take Jojo for a walk anytime, but if you go to the banquet alone, it would be so awkward. You don’t know anyone there, no one will introduce you to them, so they won’t even get to know you. How awkward would that be?”

“Awkward! Why?” Olivia asked.

She sat on the sofa with her back straight and looked at Mia seriously.

After looking at her for two seconds, Olivia suddenly understood.

She smiled and said gently, “If you want to get to know them, take the initiative to introduce yourself. If they want to get to know you, they will naturally come to you. What’s there to be awkward about?”

Olivia suddenly raised her hand and touched Mia’s forehead with her fingertips. Her voice was gentle and pleasant. “Only you can give yourself a sense of security. No one else can. You are Daniel’s sister and the CEO of the Sullivan Group’s Gorshire branch company.

11:51

“This title isn’t embarrassing. You’re already very amazing. You have to think highly of yourself,”

A ball of fire suddenly ignited in the depths of Mia’s heart.

She looked up at Olivia in a daze, her eyes moist.

Olivia saw the insecurity under her gorgeous appearance and gave her the courage to face everything head–on.

Mia suddenly came to a realization. Yes. She was no longer the little girl from the mountains who did not even have a winter jacket.

She was the CEO of the Sullivan Group’s Gorshire branch. She was a strong woman.

She should be full of confidence. What was there to be afraid of?

Mia took a deep breath and looked at Olivia seriously. “I’ll go with you.”

Daniel was at a loss for words.

He raised his hand to rub his temples and said in a teasing tone, “It’s over. I’m no longer the person Mia cares about the most.”

“Are you jealous? What are you, a child?” Mia glared at Daniel and moved to the side, wanting to get closer to Olivia.

Daniel went to the banquet after breakfast. Mia sent him out. Along the way, she said regretfully, “Daniel, why didn’t you meet Olivia earlier and be with her?”

Daniel paused for a moment. “I wish I had met her earlier.”

Mia said in a low voice, “Olivia is so amazing. You should’ve dated her earlier.”

Daniel facepalmed. Oh no. his wife’s fangirl team had grown even bigger.

He recalled the small village below the cliff six years ago.

Almost all the girls in the village liked to worship Olivia and came to look for her every day.

At that time, Daniel was not worried that a man would snatch Olivia

away. He was only worried about all the women.

She could not understand why Olivia did not want to go with Daniel. “Why?” She asked. She felt that going alone would be so awkward. After all, they did not know anyone there.

Was Olivia worried that she would disturb Daniel’s discussion?

Or was she afraid that there would be no place for her to do her styling? After Mia thought of a few reasons, she suddenly felt that it made sense to go later.

Olivia said, “I promised Jojo that I would take it for a walk in the afternoon.”

Jojo was a pitch–black pony with snow–white hooves.

Just because of this reason?

“Awkward! Why?” Olivia asked.

She sat on the sofa with her back straight and looked at Mia seriously.

After looking at her for two seconds, Olivia suddenly understood.

“This title isn’t embarrassing. You’re already very amazing. You have to think highly of yourself,”

A ball of fire suddenly ignited in the depths of Mia’s heart.

She looked up at Olivia in a daze, her eyes moist.

Olivia saw the insecurity under her gorgeous appearance and gave her the courage to face everything head–on.

Mia suddenly came to a realization. Yes. She was no longer the little girl from the mountains who did not even have a winter jacket.

She was the CEO of the Sullivan Group’s Gorshire branch. She was a strong woman.

She should be full of confidence. What was there to be afraid of?

Mia took a deep breath and looked at Olivia seriously. “I’ll go with you.”

Daniel was at a loss for words.

He raised his hand to rub his temples and said in a teasing tone, “It’s over. I’m no longer the person Mia cares about the most.”

“Are you jealous? What are you, a child?” Mia glared at Daniel and moved to the side, wanting to get closer to Olivia.

Daniel went to the banquet after breakfast. Mia sent him out. Along the way, she said regretfully, “Daniel, why didn’t you meet Olivia earlier and be with her?”

Daniel paused for a moment. “I wish I had met her earlier.”

Mia said in a low voice, “Olivia is so amazing. You should’ve dated her earlier.”

Daniel facepalmed. Oh no. his wife’s fangirl team had grown even bigger.

He recalled the small village below the cliff six years ago.

Almost all the girls in the village liked to worship Olivia and came to look for her every day.

At that time, Daniel was not worried that a man would snatch Olivia

away. He was only worried about all the women.

Chapter 227

Athene first met Olivia eight years ago, when she went to Hushen with her grandfather at the age of 12.

On the way, her grandfather had a very severe illness and could not even move. It was so serious that they did not have time to return home for

treatment.

Back then, someone recommended Isaac to her grandfather.

In the past, Athene had looked down on alternative medicine and felt that they were just lies, similar to magic.

Unexpectedly, the alternative medicine that she looked down on actually cured her grandfather.

This was the first time she had seen the wonders of alternative medicine. There was no need for surgery. It it took was a few needles, and her grandfather was magically cured.

At that time, Athene had always been by her grandfather’s side.

She knew very well.

That was exactly when Athene was completely dumbfounded!

She looked at the girl’s hand in fascination.

What a miraculous pair of hands. Those hands could actually treat an old man who was in critical condition in an instant.

Later, after her grandfather recovered from his illness, she was the one who chose the hairpin that was auctioned at Sotheby’s London.

Athene felt that there was no one in the world more suitable for this hairpin than Olivia.

After returning to Gorshire, Athene tried to visit Olivia in Hushen several times but was always stopped mercilessly by her grandfather.

Athene was not disappointed. Instead, she was sincerely happy for Olivia. She knew Olivia too well. She knew how much Olivia wanted and valued her family.

Therefore, Athene immediately searched for information about the Taylor family online. She learned everything about the Taylor family and got to know David.

After meeting David at school and learning that he had come to Gorshire as an exchange student, Athene was overjoyed and used her greatest enthusiasm to familiarize him with everything here.

She wondered. If she treated Olivia’s younger brother well, would Olivia like her more?

On the day of the banquet, because Daniel had something to discuss with Duke Devonstern, he had to go early.

“You’re going there early?” Mia squeezed the armrest of the sofa

nervously. “What about us?”

For the past few days, Mia had not been resting well, all because she was worried that something would go wrong during the banquet.

Initially, since she was supposed to go together with Daniel, she felt a slight sense of security.

Now, Daniel was actually going there early!

Mia was dumbfounded and panic–stricken.

Daniel leaned against the sofa with his eyebrows lowered. His posture was lazy, and his expression was a little nonchalant. His gaze would only brighten when it landed on Olivia.

Hearing Mia’s words, he hummed softly and said calmly, “Mia, you can come with me, or you can wait until the banquet starts.”

Mia heaved a sigh of relief.

She decided to go with Daniel. That way, she would feel more secure.

Mia, who was more or less relieved, turned to Olivia. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Olivia look up and say casually, “I’ll go over later.”

Olivia did not like banquets and cocktail parties, but she did not really hate them either.

However, she would occasionally feel that it was better to sit down quietly and read a book instead of wasting her time on those things.

Moreover, if she went there early, she would have to stay in the Duke’s

Mansion for almost the entire day.

She did not expect Olivia to say that she wanted to go later.

Mia’s heart tightened. She was puzzled and suggested in a soft voice, “Olivia, let’s go with Daniel.”

Olivia shook her head. Her expression was calm but firm.

Mia did not know what to do.

She could not understand why Olivia did not want to go with Daniel. “Why?” She asked. She felt that going alone would be so awkward. After all, they did not know anyone there.

Chapter 228

The banquet was held at the estate south of Launu.

It was just after dawn when Olivia set off. The sky was dyed with a faint shade of blade, and the grayish–blue color had a unique kind of beauty. Mia sat beside Olivia.

She was in a much better state now. She was no longer so nervous that she could not sleep at night as before.

However, it was not a whole lot better. She was still a little uneasy.

She forced herself to maintain her composure and turned to Olivia. “Olivia, follow me when we get there. Don’t be nervous. I’ll take care of you.”

Olivia tilted her head and looked out of the car window at the rapidly passing trees.

Hearing Mia’s words, she rolled her eyes and chuckled. “Okay.”

The Devonstern family’s manor was enormous. The guests‘ cars had to be parked in an empty space specially reserved for parking. Then, the servants would lead them into the banquet hall.

At this time, there were not many guests yet. Daniel Sullivan was discussing something with the Duke in the study upstairs.

Mia brought Olivia to a corner, where they drank wine and chatted.

After a short conversation, there was a commotion at the entrance of the hall.

It seemed like some distinguished guest had arrived.

The people of Gorshire were all very tall. Mia’s view was completely blocked, and she could not see anything.

She raised her hand to stop a male waiter and asked in fluent Gorshish, “What’s going on at the door?”

The waiter stopped in his tracks and replied respectfully, “It’s Athene’s friend, David. Athene seems to care a lot about this friend.”

So it was Athene’s friend.

Mia subconsciously stood on her tiptoes and looked at the crowd. Her eyes flashed with yearning.

Athene was Duke Devonstern’s granddaughter, and she was of noble

birth. Even if Mia did not mix in the socialite circles, she had heard of her name.

She was looking over curiously.

The crowd parted to the sides, and a path appeared. A thin and tall young man walked over.

Mia was stunned.

She slowly retreated and approached Olivia, then asked in a low voice, “Is he looking at me? Oh my god, he’s coming over.”

Olivia sat on the chair, her fingers holding the wine glass. There was no expression on her face, and her gaze was vacant. No one knew what she was thinking.

When she heard Mia’s words, she slowly raised her eyes and looked at the young man, David.

Her gaze did not waver at all. She only glanced at David for a faint moment as if he was just a stranger.

Not seeing Olivia’s surprised expression, David felt a little unhappy.

He strode towards Olivia.

Bruce, who was beside him, could barely keep up with him. He ran a few steps before catching up. “David, where are you going? Athena is still waiting for you upstairs. You’re her dance partner tonight and have to upstairs to pick her up.”

“Olivia!” David ignored Bruce and walked straight to Olivia.

He looked down at her with disdain.

“You’re really here!” David chuckled. “That’s right. You put in so much effort and finally got together with Daniel. A vain person like you wouldn’t miss such an occasion for the world.”

David spoke in Husheni.

The others could not understand what he was saying, but based on his cold expression, they deduced that he did not seem to like this exquisite and beautiful woman in front of him.

Bruce even asked in a low voice, his tone fawning, “David, do you not like this woman? If you don’t like her, I can get the butler to chase her out.”

David ignored Bruce and looked straight at Olivia.

This time, he spoke Gorshish. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, but the fury was still audible in his tone. “Olivia, let me ask you. Did you

report Emma?”

Olivia looked up. “Report her for what?”

+5 vouchers

“You don’t have to play dumb.” David was furious. “I know you did it. Emma just wanted to apologize to you online. She didn’t want to use public opinion to pressure you. How could you be so heartless as to want her to go to jail?”

David got angrier as he spoke.

He thought of the skinny and pale Emma and compared her to the dazzling Olivia in front of him.

He was trembling with anger.

Why? Why? Emma had suffered because of Olivia, yet Olivia was here attending such an exquisite and fine banquet. Why?

David’s chest heaved violently. His voice trembled uncontrollably as he stared at Olivia with rage.

He only felt that the world was unfair.

“Hmph. She’s glamorous and dazzling, right? Today, I’m going to chase her out like a stray dog and make her the laughingstock of the banquet.

He did not believe that Daniel would still want Olivia after she had made

such a fool of herself.

“Men.” David rolled his eyes and summoned two male waiters. He pointed at Olivia. “I don’t like her. Chase her out. Not just anyone can attend Duke Devonstern’s banquet.”

“Olivia.” Mia approached Olivia. Her voice could not help but tremble. “What’s going on? Do you know him? I heard that he’s Athene’s friend.”

‘Oh no, oh no. Why did such a thing happen again?

I have to find Daniel as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if Olivia is really chased out, it would be extremely embarrassing.‘ Mia thought.

Soon, two male attendants came over and stood nearby, but they did not

move.

Instead, they looked at David.

One of them looked to be of a higher status, and asked, “Sir, did this lady provoke you in any way?”

David ignored the waiter and looked down at Olivia. He said in a

mocking tone, “If you apologize to Emma, I can let you off today.” Olivia held her wine glass and did not speak.

+5 vouchers

This argument attracted everyone’s attention, and more and more people swarmed over.

Whispering among themselves, they wanted to know what had happened.

Those who knew some inside information explained in a low voice, “That beautiful lady somehow angered David and made him want to chase her out.”

“Oh my. That young lady is really bold. David is Athene’s friend. I heard that Athene values him very much.”

“It’s obvious that this lady is going to make a fool of herself.”

Seeing that more and more people were surrounding them, Mia was so anxious that her face turned pale, and she was about to tear up.

She grabbed Olivia tightly and whispered, “Where’s Daniel? Where’s Daniel? I’ll go find him.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and walked out.

She had only taken a few steps when David shouted, “Stop her!”

A male attendant immediately stood in front of Mia and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t walk around.”

Mia was anxious. “I’m looking for someone. I’m looking for Daniel Sullivan. We’re with him. You can’t chase Olivia away.”

The male attendant was unmoved.

David curled his lips and took another step closer to Olivia. He said in a nasty tone, “How is it? It doesn’t feel good to be controlled by others, does it?”

“Heh.” He chuckled. “This is nothing. What you’ve suffered is still far from Emma. I’m going to make you…”

Before he could finish, Olivia raised her hand and interrupted him. “You’re too noisy!”

Her tone was slightly irritated.

She did not even raise her head and did not even look at David. It was as if she was merely irritated by an annoying fly.

Noisy?

David’s face turned ashen, and he suddenly clenched his fists.

However, before he could do anything…

Olivia had already raised her hand and threw a cross–chain into the waiter’s hand. She said coldly, “Chase David out. I don’t want to see him.”

The male attendant caught the chain purely subconsciously,

However, when her gaze landed on the cross on the chain, all the hair on his body instantly stood up.

This was the duke’s token!

Chapter 229

The male attendant who received the token immediately turned around and bowed respectfully to Olivia. He said respectfully, “Please wait a moment. I’ll get the butler to come over.”

David frowned. He did not know why the male attendant’s attitude suddenly changed.

His gaze landed on the cross and paused for a moment. It looked very familiar as if he had seen it somewhere before.

However, he could not remember for the time being.

David had an impatient personality and was quite temperamental. Although he had been trying his best to restrain himself for the past half a year and had already achieved some results, when he got angry occasionally, he still could not control his emotions.

With a cold expression, he frowned and looked at the male attendant. “What’s going on? Are my words useless?”

After getting on good terms with Athene, David came to the Duke’s Mansion a few times. Because Athene valued him, the servants in the mansion were very respectful to David. Even the Duke was very kind to him.

David was used to bossing people around in the Duke’s Mansion.

At this moment, the male attendant’s disobedience caused him to frown subconsciously. He was very displeased.

The male attendant was in a difficult position.

Of these two people, one was a friend that Athene valued, and the other was holding the duke’s token in her hand, and the two of them were in a confrontation.

He was in a dilemma and did not know which side to help.

The male attendant handed the cross necklace to the attendant beside him and asked him to find the butler.

He stayed where he was and looked at David apologetically. “Sir, this is the Duke’s banquet. You and this lady are both our guests. If you have any conflicts, can you resolve them in private?”

David frowned.

Seeing this, Bruce took a step forward and approached David. He said

curiously, “That’s right, David. Why do you have to make things difficult for this beauty? It’s not good to cause trouble at the Duke’s banquet.” Hearing Bruce’s question, the others nodded curiously.

“Make things difficult?” David sneered and pointed at Olivia. “Do you know who she is? Do you know what she had done?”

Who was she? What did she do?

Everyone’s curiosity was piqued as they looked at David.

David snorted and looked at Olivia as if he wanted to tear her apart. “Speaking of which, it’s quite embarrassing. She’s somewhat related to me. She’s the child our family lost for 18 years and have just found.” As soon as he finished speaking, gasps sounded.

Even Mia went up to Olivia and exclaimed, “He’s from that Taylor family?”

David lowered his eyes.

During the time he had been overseas, he had matured a lot. He was no longer as unscrupulous as before. After all, overseas was not Evervale. There was no Taylor family to protect him.

Thus, he learned how to use scheming.

Chasing Olivia out of the banquet would only embarrass her once.

What he wanted was to ruin her reputation completely!

He was going to treat Olivia the same way Olivia had treated Emma. An eye for an eye.

He wanted everyone to know how cold–blooded and ungrateful Olivia was for sending Emma to prison.

Mia’s face was pale as he stared nervously at David’s lips.

One’s reputation was important but also not really important.

For ordinary people, being slandered only meant they had to change location, find a place where no one knew them, and start over.

However, it was a completely different thing for a famous young scientist like Olivia.

Almost everyone knew her. Plus, she was on the rise in her career.

If she was slandered and her reputation was ruined, the public would question her character and even her scientific research results.

This might turn out to be extremely deadly!

Seeing that Mia was trembling in fear, David curled his lips and sneered. He was about to speak.

Olivia suddenly said, “Shut up!”

She stood up and handed the wine glass to the waiter beside her. Then, she pinched the space between her eyebrows and suppressed the frustration in the corners of her eyes.

She could not be bothered to listen to David’s brainless words.

In the past, when he accompanied Gillian to watch TV, there was always one thing Olivia could not understand about the protagonists in the show.

Why did they not stop the villain in action? Why did they have to wait until the villain slandered them in public before thinking of a way to fight back and argue with the villain?

If it were her, she would not have given the villain a chance to speak.

She felt it was a waste of time, saliva, and emotions.

She had come to the banquet to relax, not to argue with a retard.

Olivia quickly took out her phone, opened the New York Times to find her interview, and signaled David. Her tone was impatient.

“You’ve got the wrong person! I have nothing to do with the Taylor family, and I’m not your sister. As for reporting Emma, I believe in the justice system. If you have any objections, go to the court and the police. Don’t come to me.”

Olivia was really annoyed by David. It was rare for her to say so much. “If you’re sick in the head, get it treated. If you’re mentally retarded, go see a doctor, and stay at home when the doctor confirms your condition. Don’t come out and bite people!”

“You!” David felt his blood rush to his head in an instant. He was so engaged that his head was spinning.

“Shut up!” Olivia suddenly looked up. Her tone was calm, but it was mixed with sharpness and impatience. Her gaze was like a sword as it shot straight at David. “I told you to shut up. Didn’t you hear me? Emma’s in jail because she deserved it. If you’re dissatisfied and not happy with it, go get a lawyer to defend her. Don’t run in front of me and cry.”

David’s mind buzzed and went blank.

He was anxious and furious, but more than that, he was at a loss. His gaze was fixed on the paragraph about Olivia’s parents in the interview.

Jonathan and Jessie.

Who were they? What was going on?

As he spoke, he called two male attendants to walk in front of David and said in a low voice, “Mr. David, do you want to leave on your own, or do you want us to ‘help‘ you leave?”

“Butler Aaron!” David’s face was ashen. His tone was incredulous. “What are you doing?”

The butler walked up to David. His tone was no longer as respectful as before but calm and silent. “I’m sorry, Mr. David. You’ve angered the distinguished guest of the Devonstern family. You’re not welcome in the residence. Please leave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped. Their gazes moved back and forth between David and Olivia.

Mia was even more dumbfounded. She quietly approached Olivia and whispered, “Who are you?”

Olivia winked at her. “Guess!”

Chapter 230

David had made quite a lot of friends amongst the international students in Laanu. He had quite the reputation.

There were many of his classmates at the banquet.

After being treated like this by the butler of Duke Devonstern’s residence today, he felt that he was humiliated.

Even Bruce looked at him strangely and moved away from him.

Seeing this, David felt angry and filled with hatred.

This snob!

In the past, when Athene was with him, Bruce was the one who fawned upon him the most and said all kinds of nice things to him.

However, when he was in trouble, Bruce fled faster than anyone else.

If he ended up being chased out of the banquet today, Bruce would definitely publicize it as soon as he returned to school,

At that time, facing everyone’s strange and disdainful gazes, how could he still have the face to stay in school?

David’s face darkened as he thought about what to do.

A maid suddenly exclaimed from the stairs, “Miss Athene, slow down. Be careful not to fall.”

It was Athene!

David’s eyes lit up. He shook off the male attendants on both sides and ran toward the stairs.

Athene had come to pick him up!

A ball of fire suddenly ignited in his heart, making his entire body radiant and energetic.

David hurried to the staircase and waited for Athene to run over and hold

his hand.

However…

Athene did run over, but she just passed him.

Like a gust of wind, she quickly spun over and then left.

David froze there as if rooted to the ground. His open arms trembled

slightly, and he was petrified.

Bruce, who had been following him closely, could not help but laugh out loud.

“You!” David gritted his teeth and looked at Bruce with a livid expression. Bruce ignored him and turned to look in the direction where Athene was running.

David also looked over.

Like a butterfly, Athene leaped over the others and stopped beside Olivia. Her eyes were filled with joy. “Olivia, why are you here? Are you here to see me?”

Athene was over the moon. She just circled around Olivia and did not know what to do.

She was so overjoyed that she could not control herself. She chattered non–stop, feeling like she had endless things to say.

David looked at all of this in shock. Then, a trace of unhappiness flashed across his eyes. He strode over to Athene and said with a cold expression, “Athene.”

“David, you’re here too.” It was as if Athene had just seen David.

Then, joy flashed across her eyes.

She took a few steps forward and held David’s hand.

Seeing this, David’s originally uneasy mood calmed down.

He looked up and glanced at the butler coldly.

This butler had embarrassed him in public. He was definitely going to get Athene to teach him a lesson later.

Athene held David’s hand and walked to Olivia like a little kid presenting a treasure. “Olivia, look what I have brought you! Are you surprised?”

“Uh…”

There was a suffocating silence.

Everyone looked at this scene with complicated expressions.

The butler returned to his senses and said in a low voice, “Miss. Miss Olivia asked us to chase Mr. David out just now.”

Chase him out?

Why?

Athene was stunned. She first looked up at David, then turned to look at Olivia. Then, she said in a puzzled tone, “Olivia, isn’t David your younger

brother?”

“No, no.” It was Mia who spoke. She quickly waved her hand. “It’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. Olivia has nothing to do with David.”

She had nothing to do with him!

Athene let go of David’s hand, and her expression became distant.

Then, like a child who had done something wrong, she stomped her feet in frustration.

“It’s a mistake, a mistake. This is so embarrassing. Why didn’t I learn Husheni properly?”

She blamed herself. She felt that all her hard work had been in vain as if she was winking sexily at a blind person.

Unlike his previous anger and arrogance, David completely calmed down after witnessing all of this.

His fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

He hurriedly put his hands behind his back and looked up at Athene with a complicated gaze.

Previously, he had always been straightforward with Athene. He never held and said whatever he wanted to say.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt fear.

His lips opened and closed several times, but he could not say a word.

Aaron was a very outstanding butler. Even though the topic had changed, he still remembered Olivia’s instructions.

He walked up to David and said in a low voice, “Mr. David, please leave.”

David ignored the butler and looked straight at Athene.

Athene also looked over, tilting her head with a puzzled expression. “Aaron, why are you chasing David out?”

Aaron replied, “This is Miss Olivia’s instructions. She doesn’t want to see Mr. David.”

“Oh.” Athene nodded.

David stared at her. Emotions surged in his chest, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Athene also looked up at David.

The moment their eyes met, David’s heart almost jumped out of his

chest. He did not know what he was excited about, nor did he know what he was anticipating.

However, he was certain that what Athene was going to say next would be very important to him.

Would she tell him to say? Even if she had mistaken him for someone else, did they not have any feelings for each other after spending more. than half a year together?

Would she waver?

On one side was Olivia, who made her overjoyed, and on the other side was him.

David really wanted to know who Athene would choose after hesitating.

Athene looked at David and moved her lips.

David clenched his hands behind his back nervously.

Then, he heard Athene’s calm and slightly puzzled voice. “Why are you still here? Why aren’t you leaving?”

David was at a complete loss for words.

He felt as if all the sounds had disappeared, and all the people and scenery had frozen.

It was as if his heart had been hammered by something. It was so painful that his entire body froze.

He could not speak or react, and just let the two male attendants carry him out the door.

Mia stood beside Olivia.

She should have been happy to see this scene, but for some reason, when she noticed David’s lost and blank expression, she felt some sympathy.

After all, David was just a spoiled young man in his early twenties.

Olivia was invited upstairs by the butler. Mia followed her.

Like an excited child, Athene surrounded Olivia and chattered non–stop. It was only when the butler came over and whispered a few words into her ear that she pressed her lips and left reluctantly.

“Olivia, wait for me here. I have something to do. I’ll be back in a while.” Athene went out the door, followed the butler’s directions, and turned into the adjoining room.

The butler explained in a low voice, “Miss, Mr. David said that he won’t

leave no matter what and insists on seeing you. The people who came today are all important guests. I was afraid that he would make a fuss, so I brought him up from the back door.”

They turned into the reception room and saw David sitting on the sofa.

Athene was puzzled. “Can’t we talk over the phone? Why do we have to meet?”

As she spoke, she pouted unhappily. “I finally met Olivia. I have a lot to say.”

David looked up and gave Athene a deep look.

Previously, when he was brought outside by the waiter, the cold wind made his muddle–headed mind much clearer.

He could not leave just like that. There were some things that he had to ask Athene in person.

“Athene.” David paused for a moment and said with difficulty, “You treat me well and befriended me because you misunderstood that I’m Olivia’s younger brother?”

“That’s right.” Athene simply nodded. She did not hide anything at all. Her tone was light and crisp, extremely direct.

“Why else? You’re cold and distant, have a bad temper, get angry easily, and are a little arrogant. You don’t care about anyone. You even order me around. If it weren’t for Olivia, why would I lower myself and suck up to you?”

David lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He was about to speak.

Mia’s voice suddenly came from outside the door. “Olivia, let’s go to this room. There doesn’t seem to be anyone here. I’ll change my clothes.”

“Olivia is here!”

Athene could not let Olivia see David.

Athene pulled on David’s sleeve and ran straight to the washroom next door.
