Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde -
Chapter 341-350
Chapter 341
‘It’s been a while?‘
Olivia was slightly stunned. She looked up at Margaret, who was indeed looking straight at her. However, Olivia was very sure that she had never met Margaret and she did not know her at all.
Olivia frowned and was about to ask.
Daniel, who was beside her, suddenly sneered and hugged her even tighter with his right hand.
The man looked down slightly. His gaze was calm and composed, and there was a gentle smile on his face, but his words were merciless. “You said that it’s been a while. Are we very familiar with each other? It’s not appropriate to act like a natural socializer, Miss Turner.”
When he finished, he even snorted.
His snort contained indifference, ridicule, and mockery. All kinds of emotions were contained in it, which displayed his contempt to the extreme.
It made one’s imagination run wild.
Margaret’s face burned with embarrassment and anger.
There were so many people around, and many of them were rich businessmen and celebrities in Evervale. Daniel actually didn’t show her respect and embarrassed her in public.
All along, Margaret had thought that she had some ties with Daniel, which was why she chose this method of probing.
Unexpectedly, Daniel did not leave her with any prestige.
If it weren’t for the fact that Margaret had been training overseas for so many years, she would’ve found it unacceptable to stay there and fled long ago.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled awkwardly and found a way out for herself. “Mr. Sullivan, you sure know how to joke.”
Daniel blinked, spread his hands, and made a mocking expression. His look seemed to be saying, “Whatever. Anything you say wouldn’t matter to me.”
Margaret was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.
She really didn’t want to bother with Daniel anymore. She would just do nothing as he was ruined by the Grant family.
Olivia then realized that what Margaret said was not meant for her but for Daniel.-
Kelly had also come to the charity auction. She was in the most popular girl group recently and was invited to do the warm–up performance.
Olivia informed Daniel and went over for Kelly.
Only Daniel and Margaret were left.
Margaret stared at Daniel with a gloomy expression. “Mr. Sullivan, is it convenient for us to talk?” Daniel tilted his head and made an inviting gesture. His eyes and brows were filled with charm. When the two of them arrived at the lounge, Margaret immediately frowned. “Daniel, what was the deal with you just now? Why didn’t you let me greet Olivia? Could it be that she still misunderstood what happened back then? But…”
Margaret looked puzzled. “It doesn’t look like it. There seems to be something wrong with Olivia. Why is she so unfamiliar with me?”
Daniel sat on the sofa in an unrestrained manner. He propped his chin and stared at Margaret.
He looked like he was quietly watching her act cool.
Soon, Margaret felt that something was wrong. She looked at Daniel inquisitively and asked him softly,

“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”
The corners of Daniel’s lips twitched as he sneered. “Margaret, you’ve been overseas for so many years. Don’t tell me you went to learn acting. Your acting skills are not bad.”
As he spoke, he even gave her a thumbs up.
His expression was mocking.
Margaret maintained her composure. “Daniel, what do you mean by that?”
“Stop pretending.” Daniel looked at Margaret with a faint smile. “Margaret, since you’re such a smart person, how could you not know that Olivia has lost her memory? Also, I guess Winona knows about it too, doesn’t she? I remember that she picked you up the day you got off the plane.”
At this point, Daniel seemed to have thought of something funny. He suddenly laughed and his shoulders trembled for a long time before he stopped. He looked at Margaret without moving. “You two aren’t trying to use this to threaten me and drive a wedge between me and Olivia, are you?”
He found it hilarious of her to actually dare to show off in front of him with such a small trick.
Was it because he was used to being a humble gentleman and was used to being reasonable? Did these people treat him as a pushover?
Margaret actually dared to use such a childish trick on him.
The expression on Margaret’s face froze, and her eyes were filled with shock. She looked at Daniel in disbelief. “You, you actually monitored me?”
“Not really.” Daniel lowered his head. “I just don’t like accidents. Back then, you were the only one who saw Olivia at the bottom of the cliff. I have to stay on guard.”
Actually, Daniel did not care much about what happened back then. Even if Olivia regained her memory, there might be some twists and turns between them.
However, this was all within his control. What he hated was that someone had used Olivia’s amnesia to come to her and spout nonsense.
This was something he could not tolerate.
“Margaret.” Daniel took a deep breath and his expression became serious. “Back then, you helped me. I’ve always remembered this favor and have been helping the Turner family all these years. If you behave yourself, we can still be friends.”
Margaret’s heart softened when she heard what Daniel said.
She looked at the man in front of her. He was so outstanding and powerful. No matter how he encountered, he could still get back on his feet.
many setbacks
She had liked this man for more than ten years. Why was he unwilling to take her seriously? Margaret took a deep breath and suddenly said, “Daniel, are you sure you really love Olivia? You only spent a year together back then, and under such circumstances, she was only indebted to you. You only relied on her.
Let’s not talk about the past. Let’s talk about the present. Have you been together for a year? Do you know her well? Do you know what kind of person she is? Do you know how complicated and dangerous
er identity is?
Does she understand you? The two of you are doing your own things. You haven’t spent a long time ogether, nor have you encountered any obstacles to test your relationship. Are you sure your love is trong enough?
If what a couple has between them is true love, they would have to go through countless trials together. Only then can their love be considered a deep relationship.
As for you guys, you don’t have a deep relationship. She doesn’t even remember you.”
Margaret shook her head as she spoke. Her tone was filled with doubt.
Daniel was not a person who liked to explain, much less to an outsider like Margaret.
However, since she was questioning his relationship with Olivia, he would explain it a bit.
“What do you think love is?” Daniel looked up. Before Margaret could answer, he continued, “To me, love has never been a complicated thing. It’s you, or rather, the people of the world who think too highly of love and think it’s something sacred.
“Actually, in essence, love is just a biological instinct. It’s just an outburst out of hormones.
“To me, love is actually very simple. It’s just that I love Olivia. I am happy whenever I see her and smile when I think of her. If something happy or sad happens to me, I want to share it with her at the first possible moment.
“When she’s around, I would laugh and feel that the world is really beautiful. When she isn’t around, I would feel uncomfortable and feel that everything is very boring,
“I love her. I only love her. That’s all.”
‘I love her. I only love her. That’s all
Margaret was completely stunned. Her heart trembled slightly. She somewhat understood the meaning of Daniel’s words, but she did not quite understand.
After a moment of silence, Margaret looked up and said firmly, “Daniel, the love you’re talking about is not serious enough. You don’t really love Olivia. Will you die for her?”
Daniel got a bit impatient. “How interesting. Why do you know love better than I do? I hate arrogant people like you the most.
“Do you think you’re some philosopher? Do you think what Olivia and I have is not true love? ‘Heh, I’ll tell you now. I’m not sure if I’ll die for Olivia since we have never gotten to the point of real danger, but I’m very sure that if you cause trouble again, I’ll definitely kill you!”
With that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Margaret subconsciously wanted to stop him, but from the corner of her eye, she saw Olivia at the door. he had an idea in mind as she pounced at Daniel.

Chapter 342
Margaret was very smart. She would not jump into Daniel’s arms directly and deliberately provoke Olivia while acting innocently.
This method was too low–end and stupid. Only brainless people would misunderstand such a small
matter.
Margaret turned around and pounced at the sharp corner of the coffee table.
The sharp coffee table’s corner was about to hit her abdomen when someone suddenly stretched out their hand in midair.
It was Daniel.
Since Daniel had always been a gentleman, he wouldn’t watch a lady fall in front of him.
He pulled Margaret’s arm and pulled her away.
Margaret staggered for a moment before leaning on Daniel’s shoulder.
She leaned slightly and left Daniel quickly before he could react. Then, she looked at Olivia at the door in a panic. Her expression was uneasy and her eyes were filled with guilt. “Please don’t get it wrong, Ms. Taylor. Daniel was just afraid that I would get hurt.”
After saying that, she looked at Daniel with a pleading expression. “Daniel, explain to her now. Don’t let Ms. Taylor misunderstand.”
Daniel had his back to the door. When he heard Margaret say that, he realized that Olivia had come over. He turned around immediately. When he saw Olivia, his eyes instantly lit up like fireworks.
He subconsciously wanted to go to Olivia, but just as he moved, he suddenly realized that Margaret’s hand was still on his arm.
Daniel frowned and looked up at Margaret thoughtfully.
Margaret immediately retracted her hand and lowered her head, pretending to be aggrieved.
Margaret’s move was very brilliant and flawless.
he thought that under normal circumstances, Daniel, as a man, would not realize what he and Margaret ad just done would mean to his girlfriend. He might not even understand why Margaret was pologizing. He had only pulled her casually. Why would his girlfriend misunderstand?
f Olivia kept harping on this question, Daniel would definitely be impatient. Margaret knew him well. ven if he liked Olivia, he would still feel that Olivia was being unreasonable out of a man’s pride.
Olivia let this matter go and did not hold Daniel accountable, she would keep thinking about it and ould not get over it.
nyway, no matter what Olivia did, she could not solve the problem.
ne couldn’t blame Daniel for saving Margaret. That would be too vicious.
his was exactly what Margaret wanted to do. She intended to distance Olivia from Daniel slowly and ibtly.
was a perfect plan.
owever, what happened next was not within her expectations.
aniel dodged her and ran to Olivia with a wronged expression. “Olivia, why are you only here now?”
ivia was still in a daze when she saw Daniel pointing at Margaret with an accusing expression. “She’s llying me!”
‘hat?” Olivia felt helpless and quite confused.
hen she first came over, she saw Daniel pull Margaret up. Although she knew that he did it out of idness, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Margaret lying on his shoulder.
As she was wondering how to ask Daniel about it, he ran to her and said that Margaret was bullying him. ‘What’s going on?‘
Daniel explained to Olivia with a serious expression, “Just now, Margaret wanted to pounce on me. Fortunately, I was agile and turned around to dodge. However, I’m still a gentleman. I couldn’t just watch her hit the coffee table, so I reached out to pull her.
“I didn’t expect…
At this point, Daniel’s expression changed. He looked displeased. “I didn’t expect her to take the opportunity to lean on me.”
Daniel raised his hand and brushed his shoulder in disdain as if he was brushing away some dirt. Then, he said seriously, “Olivia, did you hear what she said just now? She’s pretending to be an innocent angel by asking you not to misunderstand. I heard that both guys and girls would use this bitchy method. Olivia, you have to be on guard. Perhaps there will be some guy who will do this to drive a wedge between us. You have to learn from me. You’ll do what I did just now and remain by my side firmly.” Olivia was speechless.
Margaret’s expression turned darkened.
“Olivia, are you tired? Take a seat and rest for a while.” Daniel pulled Olivia’s hand and sat on the sofa. “You must be very curious about my relationship with Margaret. Let me tell you about it now. Our families have been friends for a long time. She helped me a lot back then, but I’ve already returned her favors after so many years. I don’t owe her anything anymore.”
Olivia nodded, indicating that she understood.
Daniel continued, “Margaret liked me before and even gave me gifts. But don’t worry, Olivia. I didn’t take them. I don’t like her either. If she comes to you to drive a wedge between the two of us, don’t ever believe her. She-”
Before he could finish, Margaret flew into a rage. Her face was livid and her eyes were gloomy. “Daniel, you’re over the line!”
She had never met someone like Daniel.
He was clearly not like this in the past. He used to be noble, indifferent, and quite carefree. How did he become like this?
Besides, shouldn’t a man be proud and secretly happy that a woman liked him? Why was it completely lifferent when it came to Daniel?
Margaret had never seen someone like Daniel. He did not give another girl any chance to be with him. Daniel…” Margaret looked helpless as she looked at Daniel pitifully. “Do you really have to do this? You’re ot leaving me with any prestige at all. You directly exposed my love for you in front of her. It makes me mbarrassed.”
Daniel frowned slightly and said calmly, “If I didn’t expose you, would I just do nothing as you sowed iscord between me and Olivia?”
aniel had always done things openly. He was blunt with his feelings and didn’t have so many omplicated thoughts.
e and Olivia were one. Bullying Olivia was bullying him. How could he respect Margaret as she was cheming against Olivia?
e would never allow anyone to do that.
aniel held Olivia in one hand and looked at Margaret lazily. “Margaret, the way you look is just isgusting. Can’t you find someone who likes you? Why do you keep pestering me?”
fter speaking to Margaret indifferently, he turned to Olivia and said gently, “Olivia, don’t worry. No one in drive a wedge between us. I love you the most.”
livia found it sweet and got very happy.
> one had ever said to her with such a clear and firm stance while presenting their determined love to

her.
Nothing in this world could diminish Daniel’s love for her.
All along, the love Olivia received was incomplete and impure. Whether it was Amelia or Isaac, she was not the most important to them.
But she was the most important to Daniel.
The auction was about to begin. Daniel held Olivia’s hand and left. Before he left, he turned around and looked at Margaret. “Margaret, do you remember what I said? I’m a very stubborn person and blunt with my feelings. I don’t like you, and this will never change. So, stop splitting hairs, or you’ll only reach a dead end.”

Chapter 343
The style of the auction was very classy, and many wealthy merchants and celebrities were invited.
Olivia and the others were sitting in the center of the first row. Bettany did not go to the first row but sat behind Olivia.
Her seat was still very close to the front.
The auction started at seven o’clock in the evening, but a few minutes had passed, and the host still hadn’t announced the start of the auction.
Everyone was whispering, curious about what was going on.
Olivia also found it strange. This kind of event had always been handled by professional companies. The process was very strict and there would not be any mistakes. What was going on today? It was already five minutes past seven, but the auction had yet to start.
Just as she was feeling puzzled, there was a commotion at the door. It seemed that some big shot had arrived.
Olivia looked up and saw Alexander walking forward unhurriedly.
The man was wearing a well–tailored black suit, revealing his slender and perfect figure. The bright light above his head shone on his face, stressing his facial features and outlining his well–defined figure.
This man had a strong aura and was extremely good–looking.
Alexander was very low–key but had high prestige. Many people knew him.
Alexander’s arrival caused the discussions to become even louder.
“Who is this man? What a grand display,” someone asked.
The person beside him said cautiously, “Do you know about the Grant family? This is Mr. Alexander from the Grant family.”
‘The Grant family on the television news?” Someone was shocked.
The person beside him nodded. “Yes.”
After that man gave an affirmative answer, a series of gasping sounds immediately sounded.
Oh my god. Why would such a big shot come to this auction?‘
t was not that Alexander’s status was too high or no one present could compare to him. It was just that ie was not in the same loop as them.
The Grant family and Book family engaged in political business and kept
articipate in such an event that was exposed to the public.
a low profile. They would not
lexander’s arrival caused a small commotion, but the organizer was experienced and immediately almed everyone down.
‘he staff member carried a chair over and was about to add a seat for Alexander in the first row. le placed the chair next to Daniel.
Mr. Alexander, would you like to sit next to Mr. Sullivan?” the staff asked Alexander carefully. lexander raised his eyebrows. He did not say anything, but his gaze was fixed on Olivia.
he staff followed his gaze when his heart skipped a beat.
To way. What’s happening now? Are the two men fighting over a woman?‘
he staff member was in extreme despair. He did not dare to make any arrangements on his own and urriedly reported what was going on to his superior.
‘hen the supervisor heard this, he immediately felt the same despair as his subordinate.
fter thinking for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. “Let him sit next to Ms. ylor.”
“Will that be appropriate?” The staff member cried.
The supervisor wiped away the sweat on his face. “I don’t care. It’s all between the big shots. As small fries, we won’t get involved. Just do as I said.”
“Alright!”
Soon, the lady beside Olivia left, and Alexander took her seat.
Daniel initially did not take Alexander seriously. Although the Grant family, where Alexander was from, was a famous family in Capitol City, he was not afraid.
Even when Alexander sat next to Olivia, Daniel did not take it seriously until he looked up at Alexander. Both of them froze when they looked at each other.
Alexander was wearing the exact same tie as Daniel.
Daniel’s face darkened, and so did Alexander’s.
The people at the side bit their lower lips at the same time and held back their exclaims.
It was incredible that Mr. Alexander of the Grant family was actually wearing the same tie as the richest
man.
Daniel was the first to react. With a gloomy expression, he raised his hand and tugged at the tie on his neck. He nimbly pulled it off and threw it to Ellis.
Just as he was about to have Ellis throw it away, he remembered that Olivia had bought this tie for him from Layfield. He couldn’t bear to have it discarded, so he said, “Put it away.”
Alexander pulled off his tie and threw it to Damian. “Burn it.”
He was totally pissed.
Alexander had never been so embarrassed in his life.
Previously, he had waited confidently for a day in Layfield, believing that Olivia would return. In the end, he didn’t get what he wanted and was embarrassed.
She really did return to Evervale. She didn’t care about him at all and had no intention of spending more time with him.
During this period, Alexander had been angry and wanted to ignore Olivia.
There were so many women in the world, so why should he only stick to her?
Since she didn’t have feelings for him, he would just give up on her.
He was not a shameless person.
Unfortunately, Alexander’s determination did not last long before he began to waver. Not only did he rush to Layfield, but he also bought the tie that Olivia had stopped to watch for a long time. He even put it on and rushed to the charity auction happily.
He just wanted to see her.
In the end, he got himself embarrassed by wearing the same tie as Daniel, which he found unacceptable. The atmosphere in the venue was very strange. It was as if there were two huge air–conditioners above, blowing cold air, making everyone’s teeth chatter.
The auctioneer on the stage couldn’t speak properly and stuttered a few times.
Fortunately, as the auction items continued to be auctioned off, things lived up, and the atmosphere became better.
Bettany hid in the back and flipped through the auction catalog. It was filled with the items donated by various famous big shots.
Before coming, Bettany had always thought that the painting that Mrs. Liebsig was offering was not bad, but after coming to the auction, Bettany changed her mind.
It was because there was actually a very famous artist’s original work in the auction catalog.

Olivia turned around and glanced at Bettany and Kelly. She said in a low voice, “If there’s anything you like, tell me. I’ll auction it for you.”
Bettany immediately shook her head. “No, thanks. I’ll just watch.”
Kelly did not stand on ceremony. She held Olivia’s little finger and whispered, “Olivia, I want that emerald ring.”
“Alright.” Olivia nodded and agreed.
Bettany quietly flipped through the catalog and found the page that introduced the emerald ring. When she saw its initial bidding price, she inmediately gasped.
The initial bidding price was 240 thousand dollars.
How dare Kelly ask for it?”
While Bettany felt that Kelly was bold, she was also quite envious.
She regretted it. If only she had also asked for one just now. Kelly did.
Unfortunately, it was too late now.
The atmosphere during the auction was not bad. Olivia had bought a total of two items. One was the emerald ring, and the other was an emerald bracelet. Both pieces were given to Kelly.
Kelly was overjoyed as she smiled brightly and asked, “Are these both for me, Olivia?”
“They’re for you.” Olivia nodded.
“You’re the best!”
Bettany watched the interaction between Olivia and Kelly with envy and some disappointment.
She thought that Olivia would bid something for her, but she didn’t. She did not ask Bettany what she liked after that.
It made Bettany very depressed.
Things went smoothly for Olivia during the auction. No one raised their signs to bid against her. Basically, she got everything she wanted.
However, things didn’t go so well for Daniel and Alexander.
The two of them looked at each other. When their gazes met in midair, the air was immediately filled with tension.

Chapter 344
Daniel took a fancy to an antique vase and offered a bid that no one could
compete with.
The others immediately knew what they should do. No one fought with him. Seeing that Daniel was about the get the vase, Alexander lazily raised his sign. “460 thousand dollars.” Daniel looked up at him with gloom in his eyes.
Alexander smiled back. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sullivan. Our tastes are very similar.”
“Heh.” Daniel replied indifferently.
The surrounding people immediately grew silent.
The auctioneer on the stage was even trembling with fear.
While the big shots were fighting, the small potatoes feared.
The bidding went on. The antique,vase was worth a bit more than 400 thousand dollars, but now the two even offered more than 1.8 million dollars. They were even about to offer more than two million dollars. The auctioneer didn’t even dare to drop his hammer.
Daniel was sitting on the chair without speaking. His thin lips were pursed tightly, and he exuded a dignified aura. Just by sitting here, his aura enveloped the entire auction hall, making people tremble in fear.
Alexander, who was sitting on the other side, was not inferior either. His eyes were deep and gloomy, and his aura was powerful and majestic.
The two of them seemed to be targeting each other, neither of them giving in.
The vase on the stage seemed to be more than just a vase now. It had some symbolic meaning while either of the men was willing to give in.
The competition had reached its climax.
lexander had already raised the price to 2.4 million dollars.
he auctioneer on the stage did not drop his hammer. Instead, he looked straight at Daniel, waiting for im to bid.
[owever, this time, Daniel did not raise his sign. Instead, he stared gloomily at Alexander with a livid *pression.
lexander sneered. His voice was neither loud nor soft, and it was just loud enough for the people around im to hear. “What’s wrong, Mr. Sullivan? Do you not have enough money to continue the bidding now?” aniel did not say anything but kept his face straight.
eing this, Alexander smiled even more wantonly. He looked at Olivia’s face and said meaningfully, “It ems that Mr. Sullivan doesn’t like this vase so much. He’s not even willing to offer merely 2 million ›llars.”
eh…” Alexander sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.
is time, he did not wait for Daniel to bid but just raised his sign again. “4 million dollars.”
1 my god, 4 million dollars!
- r. Alexander is spending 4 million dollars on a vase. He values this vase too much!‘
eryone present was shocked. It was not that they could not afford to offer 4 million dollars, but the vase the stage was really not worth it. Buying it was equivalent to spending 4 million dollars on nothing.
r a moment, everyone’s gazes shifted back and forth between Alexander, Olivia, and Daniel. They were thinking about what was happening.
eemed that Mr. Alexander had won the competition between him and Daniel.
e auctioneer counted to three and brought down the hammer.
In the end, Alexander got the antique vase.
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Daniel, his eyes filled with pride.
After Alexander successfully got the vase, the resentment on Daniel’s face immediately dissipated, turning into a calm expression.
Alexander’s heart skipped a beat when he noticed that.
He frowned and thought to himself, ‘Is Daniel trying to scam me? He bade on purpose and made me bid for this vase at ten times the price.
Just as Alexander was letting his imagination run wild, Daniel suddenly placed his chin on Olivia’s shoulder. He sounded aggrieved when he said, “Honey, he’s bullying me.”
Olivia was slightly stunned. She turned to look at Daniel and happened to meet his watery eyes. They were so clear. He looked so pitiful and cute like a kitten that had been wronged which came over to its owner to ask them to stroke its fur.
Olivia’s heart instantly softened.
She was actually not used to being close to others. Even though she liked Daniel now, she still clearly distinguished their relationship and her business.
She would hide her identity as the dean of the Capitol Research Institute and prioritize her career. She would never think of discussing anything that was related to her career with Daniel. She rarely interfered with Daniel’s affairs.
She had always adhered to a principle that even if they were husband and wife, they needed a sense of distance. They would do their own things and stay out of each other’s business.
She was too rational.
Because she was too rational, she would rarely be sentimental.
However, Daniel always broke her principles.
In fact, Olivia could tell that Daniel and Alexander were competing. Naturally, she was biased toward Daniel. However, in such an occasion, she could not do much to interfere. For Daniel’s sake, she remained ilent.
However, looking at the aggrieved look on Daniel’s face, Olivia instantly felt for him. She couldn’t care ess about her principles and comforted him gently. “I’m here. What can I do for you? I’ll avenge you.” When Daniel heard those words, his eyes instantly lit up.
What Olivia said was what he had been waiting for.
Daniel rested his head on Olivia’s shoulder and glanced at Alexander. He felt that Alexander was really :upid.
s the two men were fighting over Olivia while bidding for the vase, it didn’t matter which one of them ot the item. What mattered was who won Olivia’s heart.

He frowned and thought for a long time before realizing that Daniel was showing their affection, just like those loving couples did in TV shows.
Daniel surely knew how to show off their affection and make others jealous.
Alexander ground his teeth and suddenly felt the desire to punch Daniel’s smug handsome face.
The auction continued. Later, Alexander continued to bid for a few more items, but every time he raised his sign. Olivia followed.
With a gloomy expression, she looked like she was going to get even with him since he had bullied Daniel
In any case, she was deliberately causing trouble and bullying Alexander.
Alexander was angry and aggrieved. His face was pale and darkened.
He gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, almost crushing it.
Daniel was admiring Alexander’s crazed expression. He would occasionally turn to Olivia and smile brightly. “You’re the best, Olivia.”
Alexander was so pissed that he gritted his teeth. He could not help but say gloomily, “Daniel, don’t you feel ashamed? You’re actually living off a woman!”
“What’s wrong with living off a woman? It feels great. You can’t get to live off a woman even if you want to.” Daniel did not feel any pressure at all. Back when he was at the bottom of the cliff, his heart belonged to Olivia. He was already used to living off a woman, so he did not feel any pressure when he said this. The surrounding people heard Daniel’s words and looked stunned.
They found it hard to believe that as the richest man, Daniel actually said that he was living off a woman so confidently and bluntly.

Chapter 345
Alexander was in a bad mood. Even after the auction ended, his face was still darkened.
As a result, many people who wanted to compliment him did not dare to step forward. They surrounded him from afar and sized up his expression.
Unfortunately, Alexander did not look happy until he saw the necklace tied with a whistle on Bettany’s
wrist.
“That necklace!‘
Alexander’s eyes widened. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bettany’s wrist.
Because Alexander was too agitated, his voice was a little hoarse. He stared at Bettany and enunciated each word clearly, “Where did you get this whistle?”
Bettany was shocked by the anger in Alexander’s eyes. She did not dare to make a sound and was about to
cry.
Just as Bettany was at a loss, Daniel wandered over.
When he saw Alexander grabbing Bettany’s wrist, he sneered. “Mr. Alexander, you’re so Domineering. What are you doing? Are you trying to rob a girl by force?”
Alexander looked a bit uneasy when he heard the words “rob a girl by force” and the probing gazes of the >eople around him. He let go of Bettany, but he kept standing in front of her. His gaze was fixed on her as f he had to get an answer out of her.
Daniel also noticed the whistle. He suddenly realized something. “So this whistle means a lot to you, Mr. lexander. Were you looking for this whistle? Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
aniel’s tone was filled with regret.
lexander felt a bit touched. He was a little surprised by Daniel’s tone.
ould it be that Daniel knew about this whistle?
e turned to Daniel with anticipation in his eyes.
owever, Daniel continued, “If you had said so earlier, I would have told Bettany to destroy the whistle so at you would never find it.”

drivers had already driven the cars over. Olivia and Daniel still took the front car, while Bettany got the car behind.
>re getting into the car, she suddenly turned around for some reason.
Alexander was still standing on the spot with a powerful aura. A lot of people surrounded him. They ned to want to approach him, but they didn’t dare to.
in Alexander saw Bettany turn around, his eyes lit up, and he subconsciously stepped forward.
ng this, Bettany was startled. She quickly lowered her head and got into the car.–
When she got into the car, her heart was still beating wildly.
Ellis, who was in the front passenger seat, turned around to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid. With the Sullivan and Taylor families around, he won’t dare to do anything to you.”
Bettany held the whistle on her wrist and nodded casually, looking distracted.
After a while, she suddenly looked up. “Ellis, who is that Mr. Alexander?”
“Do you mean Alexander Grant?” Ellis did not think too much about it and said directly, “You know that he’s the Mr. Alexander of the Grant family, right? His uncle is the head of the Grant family, the one who often appears on the news.”
“He has a very high status.” Bettany nodded. Then, she frowned and looked puzzled. “Is there a conflict between him and Mr. Sullivan? I feel that Mr. Sullivan doesn’t like him very much.”
Ellis shook his head. “I don’t know.”
He didn’t dare to make wild guesses about his boss.
Bettany could not ask anything else. She lowered her head and kept thinking about something.
In the car in front, Daniel was lecturing Olivia and explaining to her what it meant to be husband and wife.
‘Olivia, you did a good job standing up for me at the auction just now, but your previous performance wasn’t satisfactory.”
Olivia looked up and looked at Daniel seriously.
Daniel pointed out Olivia’s mistakes and even listed them. “Olivia, we’re a team. We’re on the same side. How could you do nothing when Alexander bullied me? I’m so sad.”
Daniel looked so sad and aggrieved. He grabbed Olivia’s hand and placed it on his chest. Aggrieved, he aid, “I need your comfort.”

livia nodded and learned her lesson seriously. She felt very sorry. “I’m sorry that I failed to take elings into consideration enough. I thought you would solve the conflict yourself.”
livia reflected on herself and wondered if she was too aloof and distant.

f course, I could solve it myself. However, you still could’ve helped me.” Daniel gestured. “We are one, d we’re family. As a family, we should help each other.”
this point, Daniel began to praise Olivia. “Look, you did very well after that. You stood up for me. ‘xander’s face was even twitching from anger. You deserve a rewarded.”

none of them were satisfied, which made Olivia feel very helpless.
iel hugged Olivia and patted her head. His tone was low and gentle when he said, “Olivia, you didn’t nything wrong. You’re just too reserved. Your effort clearly deserves ten points, but your performance showed one point out of them. This is too disadvantageous.

misunderstand you.
“Of course, I know you well, Olivia, I know that you have the most tender heart and are most sincere to others. I would never misunderstand you. But others don’t know you well, so those people may
misunderstand you.”
At this point, Daniel even gave an example. “Take Gillian as an example. You almost did everything you could to treat her well. You secretly sent over everything she wanted and gave her a chance every time. However, she didn’t know your intention. Instead, she felt that you were showing off and wanted to snatch her things.
“This is the danger of only doing things without showing your meaning.”
Olivia looked down, deep in thought.
When Daniel noticed that Olivia was frowning and did not seem to be in a good mood, his heart began to ache again. He regretted saying too much.
At this moment, Daniel was like a worried old mother who had to educate her child but was also worried that if she said too much, her child would be sad.
He touched Olivia’s head and said gently, “I know that you’re the best person in the world, Olivia. Those
people don’t understand you because they’re narrow–minded. Could you stop being sad and ignore them from now on?”
“Okay.” Olivia nodded and smiled brightly.

Chapter 346
When they almost reached the villa. Bettany realized that Elena was not in the car She was very surprised. “Ellis, where’s Elena?”
Ellis turned around and glanced at Bettany. His voice was flat and emotionless “Miss Wayne stayed ta wait for Miss Kelly. Miss Sebastian is a member of the girl group. She can’t leave until the a Han t completely over.”
Bettany was surprised. “Is Kelly coming here too?”
Ellis nodded. “Miss Sebastian will be staying at the villa for a few days”
“I see.” Bettany was deep in thought.
When Bettany arrived at the villa, she quickly returned to her room to rest. Although she had nothing to do at the auction tonight, she had to maintain her composure at all times. She was afraid that the media would take photos of her in a bad state. She had been very nervous, so she was especially tired.
Bettany collapsed on the bed almost as soon as she returned to her room.
After a while, she felt hungry and struggled to get up.
She decided to go into the kitchen and get something to eat.
As soon as she went out of her room, she saw someone coming in and out of the room next door
She wondered if it was Elena and Kelly.
Bettany stopped a maid and asked about it.
The maid replied, “They’re not back yet. Miss Sebastian is coming over to stay tonight, so we have to the
up
the room in advance.”
Bettany nodded. Without much thinking, she walked straight to the next room and took a casual loods
However, just by looking at it casually, Bettany could tell the difference.
She had lived in the Smith family’s villa for a period previously. The butler and servants had done their best to take care of her, but the room she stayed in was basically the same as a hotel room. The bed, pajamas, and toiletries were all disposable. The room was pure white without any decora
However, Kelly’s room was completely different..
The room was decorated like a home. The bedsheet was warm yellow, and there were dolls beside the pillow. The carpet decorations were yellow, which made the room appear very warm.
That was not all. The cabinet was filled with clothes. Some of them looked like old clothes, but most of them were brand new. Even the tags had not been removed.
Bettany flipped through the tags on the clothes and was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, the maid explained, “The family head bought these clothes for Miss Kelly”
Did Olivia buy the clothes for Kelly?
Upon hearing what the maid said, Bettany felt some jealousy.
Previously, she had lived in the Taylor family’s place for so many days and had borrowed her daily clothes from Elena. Olivia had never offered to buy her clothes.
Bettany had always been grateful to Olivia. She was grateful to Olivia for saving her from great trouble and for treating her so well.
But now, as Bettany compared what she got with what Kelly got, she suddenly felt less grateful to Olivial ‘Actually, she isn’t that nice to me. She’s even a bit aloof.
‘Perhaps she likes Kelly better!
Realizing this, Bettany suddenly thought of the auction. Olivia asked her what she liked and wanted to buy it for her.
Actually, Olivia wasn’t asking her at all but was asking Kelly. Olivia merely asked her out of courtesy. ‘How hypocriticall
‘If she really wanted to buy something for me, she could’ve just done it. She didn’t need to ask at all!‘ Bettany pursed her lips with a gloomy expression.
She would treat others the way they treated her. From now on, she would keep a polite and distant relationship with Olivia.
She also liked the expensive auction items at the auction just now. Just because she didn’t have money now didn’t mean that she wouldn’t get rich in the future. One day, she would take the first row and raise her sign casually. She would be just like Mr. Alexander, who spent 4 million dollars at will.
When Bettany thought of Alexander, she had an idea and ran upstairs to Olivia.
Olivia was reading in her room. She was a little surprised to see Bettany. “What’s up?”
Bettany sat beside Olivia and held the whistle in her hand. “Olivia, do you really not want this whistle anymore?”
“It’s just a whistle.” Olivia smiled calmly. “I won’t take back what I gave away.”
“Really?” Bettany asked nervously. “What if this whistle is very significant? What if it represents fate or can bring about a huge opportunity? Do you still not want it?”
‘Opportunity?‘
Olivia sneered. Her smile was filled with calmness and pride. “In this world, I’m the only one who brings opportunities to others. No one has ever given me opportunities. Keep the whistle. If you don’t like it, throw it away. Don’t ask me about it again.”
Bettany stared at Olivia and thought to herself, ‘I’ve already asked you, and you’ve expressed that you don’t want this!‘
She held the whistle and left. Coincidentally, she bumped into Daniel, who was holding a glass of milk at the door.
“Mr. Sullivan.” Bettany lowered her head in panic.
Daniel looked at the whistle and suddenly said, “I remember that Mr. Alexander seemed to be asking you about the background of this whistle at the auction house’s entrance just now.”
Bettany got a bit flustered. She subconsciously pressed the whistle against her chest and said nervously, “This is mine. Olivia said she doesn’t want it anymore.”
“I know. It’s just a lousy whistle.” Daniel did not care. “I’m just reminding you that Alexander is a very smart person. Lying and playing tricks on him is a very stupid thing to do.”
Bettany was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she felt the whistle in her hand burning. She looked up at Daniel with a blank gaze. “Then, then what should I do?”
“What a silly girl.” Daniel understood Bettany’s intention too well. He had no intention of stopping her vanity. After all, it was human nature to get to the top.
He even felt like praising Bettany for being ambitious.
However, it was not a good thing to be ambitious but idiotic.
He tried to enlighten Bettany. “You can play dumb.”
“Huh?” Bettany did not understand.
Daniel sighed and said earnestly, “If you don’t have any ideas about him, stay away from him. If you do, then you can play dumb. You can say that you don’t remember the origin of the whistle. Anyway, you won’t be lying. The rest will just be his own imagination and misunderstanding.”
Bettany’s eyes lit up.
Daniel carefully instructed Bettany. Before he left her, he reminded her, “Remember to be smart and protect yourself.”

Bettany nodded heavily and looked at Daniel with sparkling eyes.
She wondered, ‘Mr. Sullivan is so nice. He’s patient, gentle, and never looks down on me. Even if I’m just an inconspicuous person, Mr. Sullivan pays attention to me and instructs me seriously.
In comparison, Olivia is too aloof and does not care about me at all.
After Bettany left, the gentleness in Daniel’s eyes instantly dissipated, leaving only a hint of mockery.
“Tut–tut, I didn’t expect her to ask for trouble!
‘Is Alexander that easy to fool? He’s unbelievably scheming and smart. On the other hand, Bettany is quite confident in herself.
‘Since she’s so confident, I don’t mind giving her a push, lest that guy keeps pestering Olivia.’
At the thought of how Alexander stared straight at Olivia at the auction, Daniel got furious and upset. His eyes were filled with hostility.

Chapter 347
In the room, Olivia was bent over the table, holding a pencil and sketching something on the drawing board.
Daniel came over with the milk and said gently, “Have some milk, and you’ll have a good night’s sleep.” Olivia took the milk obediently when Daniel leaned over to see the prototype she outlined on the drawing board.
“What’s this?” he asked.
Olivia held the glass and said, “It’s the draft for the drawing competition.” Due to time constraints, the competitors did not draw on the spot during the competition. Instead, they outlined and painted the drafts they brought with them.
Olivia had almost completed her manuscript. She only needed to add a few minor details.
Daniel nodded and looked down to admire her work. Then, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was beautiful. It was simply too beautiful. He could not help but praise, “It’s so beautiful. You deserve to be the best in the world, Olivia.”
Olivia was having the milk when she suddenly heard this and almost choked.
She raised her hand and punched him. “Keep your voice down. It’s so embarrassing.”
“How could it be embarrassing?” Daniel did not think so at all. “You’re just too humble.”
Olivia was speechless.
Daniel moved the drawing board to the studio on the fourth floor. Coincidentally, Ellis, who could not sleep, saw him and immediately went forward. “Let me do it, Mr. Sullivan.”
Daniel dodged him. “Stay away from me. Don’t break it.”
Ellis reacted extremely fast. When he saw that he could not move the drawing board, he immediately ran to the front and pressed the elevator button. He blocked the elevator door with one arm and turned sideways to let Daniel in. “Easy, Mr. Sullivan.”
After entering the elevator, Ellis walked around the drawing board and asked curiously, “Mr. Sullivan, is this the draft Mrs. Sullivan has prepared for the drawing competition?”
Ellis did not know much about
drawing on the drawing board wings and could not understand the draft. He only felt that the
Daniel nodded and smiled smugly.
quite nice.
“It’s really beautiful,” Ellis praised. Then, he was a little worried. “Do you think Mrs. Sullivan can win such a professional drawing competition? I heard that there are many young painters in this competition who have been famous for a long time.”
Ellis was really worried. After all, Olivia was an amateur painter and did not spend much time and effort on drawing.
To be frank, Ellis felt a little uncertain.
Daniel glanced at Ellis and felt that it was meaningless for him to worry about this. Daniel thought, ‘What does he mean by if she can win?
‘Of course, she can! She will definitely win!
‘Olivia is so powerful. Why will she fail?‘
“Don’t worry.” Daniel looked confident. “Olivia’s work is amazing.”
Ellis nodded. “I know Mrs. Sullivan’s work is amazing, but art is a very subjective thing. What if the judges think that other people’s paintings are better than Mrs. Sullivan’s?”
Daniel’s tone was determined. “If the judges think so, it must be because they are not good enough.”
He then continued, “However, what you said makes sense.” Daniel frowned. His expression was gloomy
and solemn. “I can’t let the Manson family dominate the competition.”
He called out, “Ellis, I need to sponsor this competition. Make it happen.” “Should I do it in the company’s name?” Ellis naked.
Daniel shook his head. “It’s easter to use my personal name”
Ellis understood. “How much are you going to sponsor? 2 million dollars?”
He gave a number that was quite big.
Daniel frowned. “That will be too stingy. Make It 10 million dollars.”
Ellis didn’t know what to say,
Fine. Since you’re rich, you have the final say
“By the way,” Daniel remembered something and asked Ellis, “have you gotten the black card I asked you to get?”
“It’s done.” Ellis nodded repeatedly, However, he was a little hesitant. “Boss, there’s no limit on this card. Are you sure that you will give it to Mrs. Sullivan? In my opinion, it’s better to get her a supplementary card. That’s how others do it.”
He was thinking, “That way, Mr. Sullivan will know every expense Mrs. Sullivan makes very well. Things will not be in his control if he gives her the black card directly. Moreover, there’s no limit on the black
card.
What it Mrs. Sullivan buys something worth tens of billions with that card all of a sudden… The consequences will be too severe.
Daniel was displeased. “How can you compare the relationship between me and Olivia with others‘? We’re different from other people. I earn money so that Olivia can spend it. Otherwise, why would I earn so much money?”
Spending money on Olivia was the happiest thing for Daniel.
Back at the bottom of the cliff, when Daniel saw Olivia get her necessities from the village market, he felt sorry for her.
He didn’t want her to buy the stuff at street stalls. He wanted to buy her branded goods, the most expensive and best things in the world. He would earn a lot of money and give it all to Livy and let her spend as she pleased.
Ellis muttered, “But there should be a limit. What if Mrs. Sullivan doesn’t control her spending and spends a lot? What if she uses up the money on the card?”
“If she uses up the money, it will mean that I’m not earning enough. What does it have to do with Olivia spending too much money?” As Daniel spoke, he glanced sideways at Ellis, as if it was the first time he had met him. His eyes were filled with disdain.
He looked as if he was saying, “How could a man who doesn’t earn enough money have the cheek to blame a woman for spending money recklessly?”
Ellis instantly felt ashamed.
After sending the drawing board to the studio, Daniel clapped his hands and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that he had completed an important mission.
He turned around and was about to walk back when he saw Ellis from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he had an idea.
Daniel asked a question. “What do you think of my performance at the auction today, Ellis?”
Ellis didn’t know what to say.
He thought, ‘It was totally weird!
‘If not for the fact that Mr. Sullivan were my boss, I would definitely complain about his strange behavior online. It was simply unbelievable for him to righteously say that he was living off a woman.
However, Ellis did not dare to speak his mind.

8/3
After pondering for a moment, Ellis asked, “What do you mean exactly, Mr. Sullivan?”
He wondered, ‘Oh my god, could it be that he is competing with Alexander?‘ Although he really felt that his boss was much more handsome than Alexander, Daniel’s performance today was really not good.
Not only did he claim righteously that he was living off a woman, but he also showed the affection between him and Olivia in public.
Everyone present was probably shocked by what Daniel did.
Daniel thought, ‘What do I mean exactly?‘
Daniel pondered for a moment. “Between me and Alexander, who do you think Olivia cares more about?” “You, of course! Mr. Sullivan has already stood up for you,” Ellis immediately said.
However, as a professional secretary, he still had the responsibility of advising. Hence, he said, “I think that you should pay more attention to your image, Mr. Sullivan. Your performance tonight will cause the public to misunderstand you and have other opinions of you.”
Hearing this, Daniel did not care. His expression was indifferent and arrogant. “They’re not Olivia. Why should I care about their opinions?”
He thought that people could look at him however they wanted. He had shown enough respect, yet they still dared to have opinions about him.
Daniel did not care about what others thought. He only cared about Olivia.
Chapter 348
The Manson family was very diligent in organizing this drawing competition. The news spread like wildfire. There were already many young painters participating.
As it was not an old–school competition and lacked international influence, those famous big painters did not participate. Only some young painters signed up, which was what Olivia wanted.
Elena placed the information she had gathered on the desk and reported to her about the Manson family’s opinion in a low voice, “Jonny hopes that you can treat Winona’s right hand as soon as possible. The competition is approaching. She needs to make some preparations in advance.”
Olivia nodded. She did not care much about this matter and said casually, “Arrange the time as you see fit.”
As she spoke, she leaned against the table and studied the medical information. She did not check the information about the drawing competition that Elena had brought over.
Elena sat opposite her and looked at the drawing materials piled up in the corner of the table. She hesitated for a moment and finally said, “Miss Taylor, aren’t you going to read it?”
Elena talked about the rules meticulously. “The Manson family has put in a lot of effort in this drawing competition. The situation is very disadvantageous to you. The few judges invited do not focus on techniques. Instead, they pay more attention to the emotions and artistic conception of the paintings. Other than that, the setting of the competition ratings is quite creative with public reviews involved. The selection is very flexible and has a lot of room for manipulation.”
Elena was really worried. She had been following Olivia for long and had learned a lot about how to deal with people.
Miss Taylor has always been particular about being foolproof. Why is she so casual this time and not paying attention at all?
Even if she had a high chance of winning, she could not be careless.
Many people would lose because of their carelessness and contempt.
Elena felt anxious.
Olivia put down her pen and looked up at Elena, taking in her emotions.
Olivia could tell what Elena was thinking.
Olivia raised her eyebrows and said, “Do you think I’m too careless with this competition, Elena?”
Elena was silent, but her tightly pursed lips showed her stubbornness.
“You think that I’m confident in my work and have the confidence to win against Winona, so I’m too proud, complacent, and look down on the enemy, right?” Olivia asked.
Elena remained silent.
Seeing this, Olivia curled her lips and smiled. Her long and narrow eyes showed a glint with innate pride and confidence. She was just sitting there calmly, but it made people involuntarily submit to her.
“Elena, when I said that I needed everything foolproof, I did not mean that I would surely win.” Olivia’s gaze was sharp and stern. She would limit herself to a small aspect. Instead, she controlled the overall situation. “When I said that I needed everything foolproof, I meant that if I win, I will make Winona promise never to draw again. If I lose, I will ruin Winona’s reputation.
“Actually, I don’t really care about winning or losing. I claimed that I would suppress her in the field she’s best at. It’s just to give her the illusion that I want to win. This way, they will go all out and disregard everything. They won’t even hesitate to use some shady methods to stop me.
“As long as they have the intention to use illegal means, I’ll win!”
At this point, Olivia smiled.
She didn’t like to scheme against people, but as long as she did it, no one could escape from her schemes.

Olivia looked up at Elena. She said unhurriedly, “Elena, I’ve taught your not to go astray. You must always remember your goal. Do you still remember my goal?”
Elena muttered, “You will make an example out of them so that those people will be afraid of you and not dare to attack Mr. Andrew,”
“That’s right.” Olivia turned her chair and said calmly, “My goal is to protect Andrew. The so–called making an example out of them is just a way to reach my goal. Defeating Winona in painting is even more minor. Regardless of whether she wins or loses, I will make sure that she will never get to hold a paintbrush again ever!”
Elena understood Olivia’s meaning.
‘So that’s it. I was too narrow–minded to stick to one method. I merely focused on winning, but I’ve forgotten our original goal.
‘Of course, it will be amazing if she wins. If she loses, she will still deal with the Manson family. All she needs to do is to achieve her goal.
“That’s what it means to make everything foolproof!‘
Jonny personally brought Winona to the Smith family’s place. These days, because of his daughter’s
matter, he was a little mentally and physically exhausted. His well–maintained face often showed signs of aging, making him look even more mean.
However, when he arrived at the Smith family’s villa, his attitude was still quite respectful.
He was polite and did not say anything unpleasant.
Olivia was very busy. It was impossible for her to treat Winona over such a small matter. Therefore, Jonny brought Winona over personally.
Jonny even brought a few doctors with him. There were doctors from the medicine orthopedics departments. They wanted to study Olivia’s technique.
Winona’s mental appearance had changed a lot after this period of hardship she went through. She had lost a lot of weight. She seemed so skinny in her dress as if she could be blown away by the wind.
The repeated disappointment had almost obliterated her willpower. Even though she was in Olivia’s place, she did not dare to have too much hope.
She didn’t want to have much hope in case she would be the one who got disappointed and suffered in the end.
Roland the butler came out of the villa to pick up the ones from the Manson family.
“Hello, Roland.” Jonny was very polite.
“Mr. Jonny Manson, please come in.” Roland led the group in and asked curiously, “Why are you here at this time?”
“What’s wrong? Is it a bad time?” Jonny was nervous. “It’s the time Ms. Taylor has agreed on.”
Roland thought, ‘So Ms. Olivia has set this time. Everything’s okay then!
Roland chuckled. “Since Ms. Olivia has set this time, come with me then. She will go out around 10 o’clock. It’s only 9:45 now. There’s still time.”
‘What the heck!‘
Jonny was shocked. There were only 15 minutes left. Why did Olivia ask them to come over at this time? Could it be that she wanted to torture them and make them come here for nothing?
When Jonny thought of this, his face darkened. Winona didn’t look happy either. She clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her palms. Only then did she restrain the urge to turn around and leave. The few doctors behind them were also discussing in low voices. With such little time, there won’t be enough time for even a checkup to see the patient’s condition. How is Olivia Taylor going to treat the patient? She’s clearly being perfunctory!‘
When the group entered the house, Olivia was indeed dressed neatly, looking like she was about to go

When Jonny noticed this, his face turned ashen. In the end, he could not control his temper and said gloomily, “Ms. Taylor, what’s the meaning of this? Since you’re going out, why did you call us over? Isn’t it too much to bully us like this just because you know medicine?”

Olivia did not plan to stay and chat with the ones from the Manson family and the others. She reset Winona’s wrist and left.
She left behind the group of dumbfounded people in the room.
A young orthopedic specialist was the first to come back to his senses. He immediately went forward to check Winona’s wrist.
After he did a careful inspection, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
“This is too unbelievable. Her wrist has actually recovered!
“There are so many experts in the country and abroad who did all sorts of tests on Winona’s wrist. We all failed to figure out what exactly the problem is. It was clearly just a simple dislocation. Why couldn’t she be cured?
‘However, after we reached here, the beautiful Ms. Taylor did a simple reset, and the wrist was cured. “This is simply a miraclel
‘Could it be that traditional medicine has already surpassed ordinary science?‘
The young expert couldn’t figure it out.
After scratching his head for a long time, he suddenly ran out of the door and caught up with Olivia. “Ms. Taylor, Ms. Taylor,” the young expert shouted.
Hearing the commotion behind her, Olivia stopped and turned around.
She stood there quietly in a khaki windbreaker. The belt around her waist accentuated her slender waist. The young expert’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly did not dare to look her in the eye.
He lowered his head and said after a long while; “Ms. Taylor, may I ask how you did it just now?”
“It’s very simple.” Olivia’s tone was distant, but it did not make people uncomfortable. “It’s the Smith family’s method. If you’re interested, you can go to Smith Hospital and communicate with the doctors there.”
“Really?” The young expert’s eyes lit up.
Olivia nodded. “Of course. I still have business to do, so I have to leave now. You can go straight to the Smith Hospital in Layfield. Regardless of whether you need to apply for a job or just need a medical exchange, you’ll be welcomed by the Smith family.”
After saying that, she nodded politely at the young expert and got into the car.
The young expert stood where he was and came back to his senses. Then, he turned around and ran toward Jonny in the house.
The first thing he said when he saw Jonny was, “I’m sorry, Mr. Manson. I can’t work in your hospital anymore. I will go to work at the place that suits me better.”
Jonny was still immersed in the joy of his daughter’s wrist recovery that he did not realize what the young expert was saying. He subconsciously asked casually, “Where will you be working at?”
The young specialist replied, “The Smith Hospital!”
Jonny got utterly pissed.
In order to compete with the Smith Hospital, Jonny was going to open a hospital opposite the Smith Hospital. He had picked the location and prepared the equipment of the hospital. He also had spent a lot of money to poach some doctors from other places.
Originally, he wanted to give Smith Hospital a great blow.
In the end, before he could open the Manson family’s hospital, his doctor was going to work for his
enemy.

Jonny was so furious that he could not speak. He pointed at the young expert and was speechless for a long time.
The young specialist was very straightforward and said directly, “Mr. Manson, you’re a nice man, so I have to say something. It’s better if you don’t open a hospital opposite the Smith Hospital. You’ll definitely lose money. You can’t even figure out a small resetting technique from the Smith Hospital, and you’re actually going to teach a fish how to swim. You’re overestimating yourself!”
With that, the young expert ran over to Roland and asked him how to contact the Smith Hospital. The group of doctors and experts behind Jonny stuck their heads out to look at the young expert. Sering this, Jonny was mad from anger. He said hatefully, “Don’t tell me you guys want to quit as well!” No one made a sound. They were not as straightforward as the young expert, but they all knew their limitations.
Before they had seen Olivia’s technique, they were still quite confident in themselves. Now that they had seen it, they began to know their limits.
They couldn’t compare with her.
Before the Manson family’s hospital was even opened, Smith Hospital’s fame was spread since Olivia had cured Winona’s wrist.
The Manson family was wealthy. They had spent a lot of money and effort to hire many great experts in the country and abroad. Now, everyone knew that Smith Hospital’s techniques were awesome. Olivia’s medical skills were superb. All of those experts wanted to go to the Smith Hospital for a medical exchange.
Meanwhile, the Smith Hospital’s reputation in the medical field had also risen to another level. It managed to keep its status ever since Isaac fainted.
After Elena found out about this, she excitedly said to Olivia, “Miss Taylor, hear me out. The hospital is receiving a lot of applicants, who are blowing up the phone there. Many people have gone to the hospital to apply for jobs, and they’re all quite famous in the medical field. The deputy director wants to ask for your opinion, saying that the hospital isn’t big enough and he wants to build a few more buildings.” “There’s not urgent for now.” Olivia waved her hand. “Tell him to wait a little longer. There’s a ready–made place.”
Elena was confused. “What ready–made place?”
Olivia said word by word, “The Manson family’s hospital.”
“Hahaha!”
Elena collapsed on the sofa laughing.
She thought, ‘Miss Taylor is just too awesome!
Jonny is really a nice person. He has made a name for the Smith Hospital and sent over talents. Now, he’s even about to give the buildings to us!‘
Because of what Jonny did, the Smith family became famous. Now, almost everyone knew that no one but Olivia could cure Winona’s wrist.
Olivia treated Winona with a special technique that she learned from the Smith family.
There were people who were at the scene revealed that on that day, Olivia casually grabbed Winona’s wrist and gently pushed it before Winona’s wrist was reset.
During this period, the patient did not feel any pain at all. Olivia’s treatment was simply magical. What Jonny did completely made the Smith family keep its position and spread its reputation.
As a result, it affected the other major families that were going to annex the Smith family, including the Watson family and the Holmes family.
They found what Jonny did simply hilarious. They had agreed to annex the Smith family together. Unexpectedly, Jonny was even losing the hospital he was building to the Smith family.

Now that the Smith Hospital’s reputation had spread far and wide, the circle of Elders of the Grant family felt that the Smith family still had some strength. Now, they no longer wanted to destroy the Smith family and distribute it to other families. Instead, they wanted to find someone to take over the Smith family.
After hearing this piece of news, Jonny was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought about how he had spent a lot of money to choose the location and buy the equipment. His heart immediately ached.
“Is your information accurate? Why are you looking for someone to take over the Smith family?” Jonny frowned. “What about Olivia? Are we not going to care about her anymore? Hasn’t Mr. Alexander been spending time with her recently?”
Jeremy pouted. “That’s all in the past. Mr. Alexander already has a new lover. That’s why First Elder gets to be so unscrupulous doesn’t have to care about Olivia’s thoughts anymore. He can directly support Jarron to fight for the Smith family.”
“A new lover?” Jonny was really confused. He had been busy with the drawing competition recently. Now that the preliminaries of the drawing competition and the semi–finals were coming, he was entirely focused on the competition and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
He didn’t expect that only a few days had passed, and Mr. Alexander already had a new lover.
“Who is she?” Jonny asked curiously.
Larson said, “I think her name is Bettany Fulham. It’s said that she knew Mr. Alexander when they were young.”
“Tut–tut.” Jeremy sighed. “It’s fate.”

Jonny Manson was inside and too mesmerized to see clearly.
However, the Watson and Holmes family were not fools. They could see the deeper meaning, behind
Olivia’s actions.
Olivia was really not to be underestimated.
Her methods were strange and unexpected. If one did not see the consequences, no one would be able to guess her true intentions.
For example, when she broke Winona’s wrist, everyone thought that it was a simple grudge. The two women had a grudge, moved to fight, and even agreed to a painting competition because of Daniel. Everyone thought that Olivia was simply giving Winona a lesson.
Unexpectedly, she had set up such a huge trap behind the scenes.
Without spending a single soldier or a single cent, she used the power of the Manson family to completely make the Smith family famous and make the reputation of the Smith Hospital rise to another level in the medical world.
Previously, when Olivia treated Amelia’s body, everyone saw that the Smith family’s connections could not be underestimated. Now, they completely reappeared in front of the world,
In addition, treating Winona’s wrist injury made the Smith family completely famous in the domestic medical industry as well as the upper–class society.
This woman was really impressive.
Every step she took was steady and sudden. No one could guess what she would do next. Even if they wanted to stop her, they had nowhere to start.
In fact, all along, the Watson, the Holmes, and even the Grant family never believed in her abilities. They were all waiting to see her make a fool of herself and how she would defeat the Smith family.
Unexpectedly, she not only didn’t let the Smith family decline but instead made it even more prosperous. This was also the reason why First Elder did not snatch it directly. Instead, he used Jarron to take back the Smith family.
Olivia had already revealed her strength, and the Smith family was no longer the family that could be easily bullied.
Since they could not snatch it by force, they could only follow and support it.
“This Olivia.” Robert, the head of the Watson family, leaned back on the sofa with a cigar between his fingers. The smoke blocked his eyes, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly. They could only hear his words. “She’s truly someone chosen through layers of trials. We can’t underestimate her.”
Larson, the head of the Holmes family, nodded in agreement. He also felt that Olivia was impressive. Her scheming methods were top–notch. If she was the Holmes family’s member, he would definitely keep her close and nurture her well.
However, it was a pity that such a good talent did not know any better and insisted on going against the Grant family.
If she knew some things and was willing to lower her head, the Smith family would definitely be able to regain some of its former glory, not to mention flourishing in her hands.
Unfortunately, this young woman was too arrogant. She did not understand the concept of challenging a formidable force and insisted on fighting against the Grant family.
She would destroy herself sooner or later.
Since it had nothing to do with him, Larson said a few words of pity and put it aside to divert his
attention.

The painting competition was in full swing.
Not all participants had to participate in the preliminary round. As long as the judges recommended them, they could directly enter the semi–finals.
Olivia was recommended by Mrs. Liebsig, so she didn’t need to participate in the preliminary round. Originally, the judges were all decided by the Manson family. However, after Daniel interfered, there were a few more judges from Painting Association. The competition process was more standardized, and the Manson family did not have much space to control.
Ellis followed Daniel the entire time. Seeing that Daniel did not interfere much and did not personally select the judges, he was very puzzled.
“Boss, is that enough? Didn’t you want to guarantee Miss Taylor’s victory?”
Daniel leaned against the door and looked down casually. His expression was lazy, but he was exceptionally calm.
Upon hearing Ellis’s question, he sneered. “Hehe.
He did not need to bribe the judges like the Manson family did, nor did he need to secretly manipulate
the competition process. He only needed to guarantee a fair environment for Olivia.
As for the rest, Olivia would use her absolute strength to beat her opponent into submission.
She was just that powerful.
The competition had been going on for some time. After the preliminary round ended, a total of 20 people entered the semi–finals. They were all young people between 20 and 35 years old.
These people were either famous young painters or outstanding people who had made it out of the preliminary round.
In the second lounge, some people were looking at the semi–finals list.
Who is Olivia Taylor?” A tough–looking woman tapped her finger on the name list.
The chubby man beside her turned around and looked at her with a surprised expression. “You don’t even know Olivia Taylor? She’s Daniel Sullivan’s fiancée. Their engagement ceremony some time ago was very grand.”
“Oh, it’s her.” At the mention of Daniel Sullivan, the tough woman understood.
She frowned unhappily. “Why didn’t I see her in the preliminary round?”
“He was recommended by Mrs. Liebsig for the semi–finals,” someone said sourly.
“Why?” The tough woman muttered. Everyone had entered the semi–finals with their own abilities. Who was Olivia? Why did she have to enter the semi–finals directly?
If it was Winona or Riley, who had already made a name for themselves, it would be fine. After all, their paintings had already spread throughout the country and were publicly acknowledged as good. However, Olivia was not well–known in painting. What qualifications did she have to be recommended? ‘Don’t say anymore. She’s Mrs. Liebsig’s disciple. A great teacher produces an outstanding disciple. Her standard shouldn’t be bad,” someone said.
Upon hearing Mrs. Liebsig, everyone fell silent. She was the best painter alive in the country.
“Eh?” The tough wornan thought of something. “I remember that Bettany Fulham is also Mrs. Liebsig’s disciple. Why didn’t Mrs. Liebsig recommend her?”
“Bettany is her junior disciple. Her standard can’t compare to Olivia.”
“No, that’s not right.” Someone retorted. “I think she’s biased. I’ve seen Bettany’s paintings before, and they are incredibly spirited. I heard that she didn’t even graduate from a professional school. In the past, she was self–studying. To be able to reach this level, she’s definitely talented.”
Everyone chatted for a while and began to talk about the semi–finals tomorrow.
The semi–finals involve on–site painting with a limited time and a specific theme. The 20 participants
were divided into four groups. Then, they would draw based on the topics they drew by lots.
Based on the level of the painting, two people would be eliminated from each group.
In other words, in the four groups, two people had to be eliminated from each group. In the end, a total of 12 people entered the finals.
“It seems that the four recommended participants will be placed in different groups, so they won’t compete against each other. As for those who made it from the preliminary rounds, they’ll draw lots to decide which of the recommended participants‘ groups they’ll join,” Someone explained the rules of the competition.
The chubby man stretched out four fingers and counted. “Olivia, Winona, Riley, and Casey will each lead one of the four groups.”
“Winona and Riley are already slightly famous painters, and the participants competing with them in the same group are quite pitiful, including Casey, who is said to be a genius artist as well. Among them, Olivia is the weakest.”
“If only I was assigned to group Olivia, that would be great. We only need to eliminate two people in total, and Olivia is sure to be one of them. Then, among the remaining four, we just need to eliminate one to make it to the finals.”
The tough–looking woman covered her mouth and laughed. “Then you have to pray hard. When we go home, we have to pray sincerely that we’re in the same group as Olivia.”
At this point, the strong woman paused and felt that it was not enough. She continued, “How about this? If we draw group Olivia tomorrow, we’ll consider it a win and celebrate by treating everyone. What do you all think?”
Alright.” Everyone cheered.
