Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde -
Chapter 481-490
Chapter 481
Ellis Wilson kept feeling that something was wrong with Daniel Sullivan today. Usually, he rarely interacted with women. Whether it was.
Sheyenne or other business partners, Daniel always maintained the right distance and would not overstep.
But today, Daniel was being so nice to this Saintess. Not only was he so close to her, but he also kept her around and chatted with her for a long time.
Even after Saintess Flores left, Daniel was still in the mood.
Ellis’s heart skipped a beat.
Daniel wasn’t going to cheat, was he?.
As soon as this thought popped up, it went out of control. Ellis’s heart almost stopped beating. After the Saintess left, she immediately took out the information she had gathered about the Flores family’s women between the ages of 20 and 30 and sent it over. “Daniel, this is the information you wanted.”
Daniel lowered his eyes and looked at the thick stack of documents. His voice was casual as he said, “Shred it. I don’t want it anymore.”
What?
Ellis was dumbfounded. Wasn’t Daniel the one who had instructed her to collect the information on the Flores family’s women of suitable age? Why did he not want it now?
Ellis could not figure out Daniel’s thoughts, but she did not dare to refute. She could only leave with another stack of documents.
When she reached the door, she was called back.
“Wait.”
Ellis quickly turned around and looked at Daniel expectantly. Was he changing his mind and planning to read this information?
Daniel walked to the mirror and sized up his reflection. No matter how he looked at it, he was not satisfied.
Too thin, too pale!
Daniel frowned and said coldly, “Is there a mall nearby?”
Ellis did not react for a moment. “Daniel, are you preparing clothes for Mr. Andrew?”
Billiamsim’s Mitong Darling
“No.” Daniel lowered his eyes. His dark and beautiful eyes were filled with frustration. “I didn’t bring enough clothes. I need to buy some.”
Ellis was speechless. “…”
What exactly happened? Why was Daniel preening now? Wasn’t he going to look for Miss Olivia?
As soon as Olivia Taylor returned to her residence, she received news that Daniel had sent a message, hoping that the few of them would go stay at Daniel’s Maple Villa like the servants.
So they were going to live there?
Olivia bit her lip. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. On one hand, she did not like Daniel being too close to other women. On the other hand, she wanted to be closer to him.
Sigh…
Olivia asked Charlee to pack her things while she went to the Maple Villa first. When she arrived, Lucy Lopez, Irene Dale, and Joey Sprout had already arrived and were sitting in different places, ignoring each other. Maple Villa was very big. It was a three–story building. Daniel lived on the third floor. Personnel like the bodyguards lived on the second floor. And the servants lived on the first floor.
The rooms were almost full. Now that Olivia and the others were here, they needed to shift around to make space.
Ellis came in a hurry. She put her hands together and apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I had to trouble you four ladies to come. over. Daniel wants to know more about the Star Competition, so I’ll have to trouble you all.”
Irene smiled lightly, “Ms. Wilson, you’re too kind. This is what we should do.”
“Daniel is an esteemed guest. We naturally have to entertain him well,” Joey echoed.
Lucy didn’t say anything. Her eyes were clear and cold, but between the two fawning girls, she looked even more elegant and refined. Even Ellis looked at her more than once.
“There are three rooms on the second floor and one on the first floor. Please follow me to the second floor and choose a room.” Ellis said.
Lucy did not move. “I’ll go with whatever arrangements you make, Ms. Wilson. I’m ok with any room.”
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Irene and Joey also nodded gently.
There was only Olivia left.
Ellis looked at her. “Where would you like to stay, Saintess Flores?”
Olivia sat on the chair. She was not someone who could let herself suffer. Since she could choose, she naturally wanted a good room.
The room on the first floor was not well lit and damp. As they were next. to the other servants, who had to wake up early to tidy up the room and prepare three meals, so it might be noisy. Comparatively, the rooms on the second floor were better. However, the second floor was filled with bodyguards, and if she went there, she’d be among a group of men, so it would be really inconvenient.
Olivia frowned and asked, “Are there any empty rooms on the third floor?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone looked over in surprise.
Lucy couldn’t help but ask, “Berry Flores, don’t tell me you want to stay on the third floor?” That was Daniel’s territory.
This woman was really crazy. She dared to say anything!
Could it be that she thought that the entire world would give in to her just because she was the Saintess of the Flores family? It would be fine if she just acted bossy within the Flores family, but here at Daniel’s place, how could she be so audacious?
Lucy sneered and retracted her words, waiting for Berry to be rejected. Irene and Joey looked at each other. They both felt that Berry was being too reckless, but this was also good. If she provoked Daniel, it would be more beneficial to them, so they remained silent.
Ellis sized up Olivia. Suddenly, she slapped her own forehead and appeared to be vexed. “I almost forgot. There’s an empty room on the third floor. If not for the Saintess’s reminder, I really wouldn’t have remembered.”
With that, Ellis made an inviting gesture. “Saintess, you can stay on the third floor.”
Both Lucy and Joey were dumbfounded.
Is that allowed?‘
Irene stood up and quickly said, “Ms. Wilson. I want to stay on the third
Fiscaire Missing Darling
floor too.”
Ellis looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, Miss Dale. There’s only one empty room on the third floor.”
Hearing this, Irene bit her lower lip, her delicate face full of disappointment.
She wanted to be closer to Daniel.
Previously. Irene had never left the Dale family before. She had thought that the Dale, Flores, Lopez, and Sprout families were the most powerful. Later on, the Dale family had raised the Golden Voodoo King and so gained even more confidence to looked down on everything else.
It wasn’t until Leanna of the Dale family had angered Daniel Sullivan from the Hushe Republic and got taught a lesson by Daniel, that Irene realized how ignorant she had always been before. And she realized that there was such a powerful force in the world.
Back then, Leanna had been so glorious. She was First Elder Raymond Dale’s granddaughter and had been on par with Lucy of the Lopez family. She had been the goddess in the hearts of all the youths of the four great families.
However, Leanna Dale, and even First Elder Raymond, who had been supporting her, could not even make a move against Daniel.
In an instant, everything was destroyed.
In just a few days, the Dale family had changed completely. Raymond Dale’s lineage had completely withered and was replaced by the Fourth Elder’s lineage.
Irene couldn’t help but yearn for this man, Daniel, who had demonstrated such power over the fate of the Dale Family.
Unfortunately, she was a step too late. The room on the third floor had been taken by Saintess Flores.
Irene stomped her feet in frustration. If she had known earlier, she would have asked first.
Who knew Ellis would be so easy to talk to?
Olivia followed Ellis to the third floor and found that her room was only one wall away from Daniel’s room.
She was a little surprised and stood at the door of the room for a long
time.

Ellis seemed to have seen through her doubts and explained, “Saintess, please understand. I arranged for you to stay here for my own reasons. You might not know this, but Daniel has always been in poor health and needs someone to take care of him 24 hours a day. However, he has a stubborn temper and won’t let anyone take care of him. I had no choice but to arrange for you to be beside him. If something happens in Daniel’s room, you can help take care of him.”
‘I see.
Olivia nodded. Her doubts dissipated and then turned into worry and heartache.

He was in such poor health, yet he had still come all the way here to look for her.
Olivia’s fingertips felt numb. Her heart ached terribly. At this moment, she suddenly had an impulse.
She wanted to run to Daniel and tell him everything.
However, when her gaze landed on the mirror on the dressing table, she calmed down.
No, no, she shook her head. She couldn’t appear in front of him like this. Daniel’s Livy was the brightest sun. She was smart and beautiful. She wanted to appear beautifully.
The urge in her heart subsided. Olivia sat by the bed and used silver needles to trap the poison in her face to prevent it from spreading. Then, she checked her pulse and confirmed that the child in her belly was well and safe. She heaved a long sigh of relief.
Because of this series of actions, her forehead was covered in sweat. Olivia walked to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. After drying her face, she put on her veil and was about to go out when there was a thud from ne
door!
It was Daniel!
Olivia’s heart skipped a beat. She did not have time to think about it and rushed to the next room.
The door next door was actually not closed. It opened with a gentle push. Olivia rushed in and saw Daniel lying at the bathroom door. His bathrobe was scattered, revealing a large part of his firm chest.
Concern gave rise to panic. Putting every other thought aside, Olivia straightaway went forward to help Daniel up and took his pulse. “It’s alright. He just fainted.”
Olivia heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to carry him to the bed.
However, in the next second, the bathrobe around Daniel’s abdomen slipped off, revealing the pink underwear beneath. It was tightly wrapped around his body, revealing a lump of… the shape was very clear.
Olivia’s face felt like it was on fire!
A memory suddenly flashed across her mind…
That day, Daniel had propped up his chin and moved closer to her. “Livy, since you like pink so much, can I wear pink too?”
Olivia had smirked. “Do men wear pink too? Pink coat? Pink shirt? Aren’t you afraid that others will laugh at you?”
“I’m fine.” Daniel had shaken his head in all seriousness. Then, he had blinked twice, his dark eyes suddenly becoming deep, and his voice tinged with dreaminess. “I’ll only wear it for you to see,”
Then, that night, Olivia had seen Daniel in pink underwear.
She had not expected this man to still be wearing this color!
Olivia felt both embarrassed and touched. She half carried him to the bed, took out her silver needles, and inserted it into a few acupuncture points in his body. After confirming that he was completely fine, she put away the needles and left.
As soon as Olivia left and closed the door, Daniel opened his eyes. He looked down at his body and sighed. “Don’t you like pink?”
She had actually not done anything to him? She hadn’t even touched. him!
Daniel was disappointed. Was he no longer seductive?
What should he do? He could not hold it in anymore. His longing was about to break through his body and overflow. If Livy still did not acknowledge him, he would not be able to restrain himself from pouncing on her. Every pore on his body was clamoring…
Pounce on her, kiss her, bite her, press her down, and eat her!
Daniel knew that this was not right, but he really could not control himself.
When he had first opened his eyes at the bottom of the cliff, he had decided on her!
In order to make Livy like him, accept him, and fall in love with him, he had done his best to pretend to be a modest gentleman, sunny, upright, and hopeful.
He knew that Livy liked this kind of person, so he had worked hard to become this kind of person.
He had carefully hidden the darkness in his heart and restrained the clamor of passion running through his veins. He had tried his best to
onaires Missing Darling
disguise his desire to devour her.
In Livy’s eyes, Daniel was an upright, sunny, confident, modest, and polite gentleman.
However, in reality, Daniel was dark, stubborn, cold, and ruthless. He was not interested in anything and did not care about anything in the world.
When he was young, he had been sad that Brad Sullivan had stolen his parents‘ love. However, when he grew up, Daniel completely did not care about all of this anymore. He no longer cared about the so–called
Sullivan family or the so–called parental love at all. Whoever was willing to take it could take it.
A pile of trash!
It wasn’t until he met Olivia that Daniel gradually had desire again. He wanted to earn money, he wanted success, he wanted to bring the most beautiful things in the world to Livy.
His Livy was so good and beautiful. How could she be made to wear cheap clothes and worry about the price of buying something?
He wanted to give her the best of everything.
Therefore, he had secretly contacted Margaret Turner, wanting to pretend to be married to her in exchange for support.
In Daniel’s eyes, this was nothing. It was fake. He and Margaret would just be taking what they needed. It was not a big deal at all.
However, Livy cared. Livy did not like it.
Since Livy didn’t like it, he wouldn’t do it.
Without relying on marriage, and just relying on himself, Daniel still had a way to get the Sullivan family back and create his own business.
Perhaps because he had been too busy at that time and had neglected. Livy, it had led to a misunderstanding and Livy had left.
The moment he had found out that Olivia was missing, Daniel had to use all his strength to restrain his own desire to kill Margaret.
He couldn’t do that. Livy wouldn’t like it.
Daniel did not want to do what Olivia would not like him to do. He
wanted to become a good person praised by the world and make Livy proud of her. Therefore, he had taken back the Sullivan family, created a business empire, and expelled Brad. He had also secretly threatened the Turner family folks and forced Margaret to leave the country.
Later Daniel had become the richest man. He stood in the highest and brightest position, waiting for his Livy to come and find him.
Five years, five years. Daniel had almost been driven crazy by his
- g. He almost couldn’t hold on anymore. If Livy hadn’t come to hini soon, he would have ruined everything.
What was the use of keeping a world without Livy!.
Fortunately, Livy had appeared.
So Daniel became the approachable and modest gentleman again. He accompanied Livy cautiously. To prevent himself from leaking any negative traces, he tried his best to restrain himself and not interfere with everything Livy did. He had thought that this way, he would be with Livy for a long time.
Unfortunately, the powers that be just couldn’t bear to see him feel. comfortable, and they just had to increase the suffering between them.
He had lost Livy again.
Fortunately, this time, he was no longer the poor kid who had nothing. He was the richest man in the Hushe Republic. He had an honorable identity and was nurturing his own people in various places around the world. He was rich and powerful, and he had quickly found Livy.
This time, he would not lose her again. Never!
Daniel did not know why Livy did not acknowledge him, but so be it. No matter what she wanted to do, he would support her unconditionally. Livy did not want to acknowledge him, feeling that the time was not right.
Then he would behave himself, pretend he didn’t recognize her, and wait for her quietly.
Thinking of this, Daniel got up and walked to the study room. He picked up his pen and wrote one word in a flamboyant manner: Endure.
He had to endure it. He had to endure the longing that seeped into his bones and the crazy desire to devour her.
Chapter 483
When Olivia returned to her room, she was worried. Daniel’s body was just too weak.
He had not recuperated well at all. Otherwise, he would not have become. so terribly drained.
At the thought of this, Olivia’s heart became sore again. It was an uncontrollable heartache.
She had to nourish him well. Otherwise, if this continued, it would affect his lifespan.
Olivia hurriedly went to the kitchen to make some health supplements. When she went over, Lucy and the others were all there, busy preparing dinner.
Joey sneered when she saw Olivia. “The great Saintess is here too!”
She had thought the great Saintess would be some kind of aloof. In the end, she was still the same as everyone else. She had to cook personally to please Daniel.
Hmph, Joey pouted..
Olivia did not want to waste time arguing with the young lady. She directly instructed the servants to prepare the cooking materials she needed.
The ingredients required for medicinal cuisine were especially diverse and tedious to get. Many kitchens did not have them. If they were to go out and buy them, they would not have enough manpower.
Because the servants were all from the Flores family, they would definitely prioritize the Flores family’s Saintess. Olivia’s order directly caused the others to have insufficient manpower.
Joey stomped her feet in anger. “Berry Flores, you called away the servants who were helping me cut the vegetables!”
Olivia glanced over indifferently. “Cut it yourself.”
Irene also frowned. “What about my soup?”
“Can’t you watch over it yourself?” Olivia was fed up. Her beautiful eyes. were extremely sharp.
The two of them didn’t dare to speak further and just looked at her indignantly.
Biblionaire’s Missnig Darling
Lucy watched everything quietly. Suddenly, she sneered, threw down the ingredients, and walked out.
Irene and Joey looked at each other and then chased after her.
Lucy, where are you going?” Joey stopped her.
Lucy did not stop walking. She straightened her back and said coldly, “Go back.”
“You’re not cooking anymore?”
“No.” Lucy’s eyes were cold. “Can’t you see? The servants are all from the Flores family. They all listen to Berry’s orders. It’s pointless for us to
stay” “Berry Flores is too much!” Irene stomped her feet in frustration. She had. specially learned how to make a bowl of Hushenian style soup and had wanted to give it to Daniel to try. Now, it was all ruined by Berry. She was a little indignant. “If we leave just like that, won’t we be letting Berry off easy?”
Upon hearing this, Lucy stopped in her tracks and said with a mocking gaze, “Berry is too obsequious. Men are not interested in women who are too eager to court them. Moreover, she is so arrogant and despotic that she chased us out of the kitchen. I don’t believe that Daniel doesn’t know about it.
“Do you think Daniel will have a good impression of an arrogant person like her?”
Daniel had come to the Wayne Country to look for a partner for cooperation. The other party’s strength, integrity, and sincerity were the top considerations. Berry had gone in the wrong direction.
“Oh!” Irene and Joey looked at each other. “I see.”
The two of them surrounded Lucy and said respectfully, “Lucy, you’re too smart. If you hadn’t reminded me, I wouldn’t have thought of it.”
“Hehe, we’ll let Berry be smug for now. Later, I’ll report her!” Irene’s eyes were gloomy.
In the kitchen, Olivia had prepared a total of four dishes and a soup. They were all healthy medicinal cuisine, which was suitable for nourishing Daniel’s body.
After she was done, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked someone to bring it to the dining room while she returned to her room. to wash up and change her clothes.
The kitchen was too hot and the oily smoke was heavy. Even her clothes
Oulustame & Mang Darlingg
were stained with the smell.
After taking a shower and changing into light clothes, she came down and realized that there was no one in the dining room.
“Daniel didn’t have dinner?” Olivia was very surprised.
The servants shook their heads and said that they had not seen anyone. coming down.
Olivia went to look for Ellis. Just as she was about to ask Ellis why Daniel had not come down for dinner, she saw Ellis frowning and almost crying.
“What happened?”
Ellis did not reply to Olivia. Instead, she turned to the servants in the dining room and ordered, “All of you can leave. Daniel doesn’t need dinner anymore!”
“What’s going on?” Olivia was shocked. She stopped the servant while also asking Ellis, “Why isn’t Daniel having dinner?”
Ellis sighed and frowned. “Miss Flores, you don’t know this, but Daniel hasn’t eaten dinner for a long time. He hasn’t been able to eat much recently. The doctor said that he’s too worried. If this continues, his body will be ruined.”
“Why can’t he eat?” Olivia was anxious. “You have to persuade him.”
Ellis looked helpless. “How would I dare to persuade Daniel? In this. world, only Miss Olivia can persuade Daniel, but…”
Upon hearing this, Olivia’s heart felt like it was being squeezed by something. She could not breathe. After a long time, she said in a low voice, “I… Let me persuade him.”
Ellis’s expression looked like they were discussing some kind of last–ditch effort. She waved her hand and said, “I know you’re being kind, Miss. Flores, but Daniel has a very bad temper. Sigh, maybe you can try.” Olivia went to the third floor and knocked on the door of Daniel’s room. A low and pleasant voice came from inside. “Come in.”
Olivia pushed the door open and entered. She saw Daniel sitting at the desk, reading something. He was wearing a white housedress that was slightly pink, making his fair skin look even fairer. It seemed like he had just washed his hair. His wet hair hung down, making him look like a good boy,
Seeing Daniel like this, Olivia’s heart softened. She said in a low voice,
Daniel, why aren’t you going down to eat?”
Upon hearing the voice, Daniel looked up from the desk with a cold gaze. Why are you here? Where’s Ellis?”
It seemed that upon hearing her enter the room, he had expected it to be Ellis!
Olivia quickly explained, “Ms. Wilson is downstairs. I heard that you don’t want to eat, so I came to persuade you.”
Daniel frowned. He did not look good, but because he was
well–mannered, he did not flare up at Olivia.
He raised his hand and covered the things on the desk. He stood up and said coldly, “Stand there and don’t move. I’m going to change my clothes.” With that, he walked towards the bedroom.
Daniel’s room was actually a suite with a living room and bedroom. There was also a desk at one side of the living room with a pile of things on it. Olivia was not interested in these things. She glanced at them gently and then retracted her gaze. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly saw something familiar from the corner of her
eye.
She subconsciously walked to the desk and looked at the photo that was partially hidden under a book, with only one of its corners visible. Her gaze showed that she was deep in thought.
After hesitating for a moment, she moved the book away and revealed the photo below.
It was a photo of her in Phuket Village at the foot of the cliff.
She had been wearing a local outfit with a garland on her head and neck. She had been smiling happily.
So… Daniel had been looking at this photo just now.
Olivia’s fingertips caressed the photo and accidentally saw that there were words behind it.
Turning it over, she saw a line clearly written on the back: [Livy. Where are you? I’ve missed you so much.]
Tears welled up in her eyes. Olivia covered her mouth to stop herself from crying.
She put the photo away with trembling hands and found another case file. beside it. It was Daniel’s medical history, detailing the symptoms that he
16
Jarang Muding tarling
Was having these days.
Olivia did a rough scan and realized that it had been a long time since he had a good night’s sleep. Every night, he would suffer from insomnia, coughs, and cold hands and feet.
Olivia endured her heartache and restored the desk to its original state. She walked to the door and stood still, pretending that nothing had happened.
Chapter 484
Daniel changed into a thin outer shirt and came out. Perhaps it was. because the weather in Wayne Country was too hot and the shirt was extremely thin, one could vaguely see the pink spots in front of his chest. Olivia bit her lip and quickly lowered her head, not daring to let her vision wander.
She warned herself in her heart that seductive and handsome men were demons. She had to mind her own image and not be found out by Daniel.
Olivia lowered her eyes in a well–mannered way. There was not a trace of wandering in her gaze.
Seeing her like this, Daniel seemed to be a little unhappy. He had been in a low mood, and there seemed to be a dark cloud above his head. His tone was cold. “Is this how Miss Berry persuades people to eat? You only know how to lower your head. If I hadn’t known otherwise, I would have thought you were being punished to stand.”
-Was he angry?
Olivia’s heart tightened. In her impression, Daniel seemed to have had a good temper and rarely got angry. It was probably because his health was not good and his emotions were tected now.
She quickly raised her eyes and looked straight at Daniel’s chest… No, his cheeks.
Her gaze continued to move up.
Seeing her like this, Daniel seemed to be satisfied. He nodded and raised his arm to roll up his sleeve. Unexpectedly, he accidentally touched the button on his collar. A large piece of his shirt slid down just like that, revealing his firm right arm.
Olivia could only stare. “…”
Daniel seemed to be a little annoyed. “What are you looking at? Don’t have any crooked thoughts!”
Olivia was so innocent. She wasn’t having any thoughts. His clothes had fallen off by themselves.
“The quality of the clothes here is too poor.” Daniel sighed softly. His tone was gentle as he turned around and walked back to his room to change into a black shirt.
Aner coming out, he passed by Olivia and said in a low and hoarse voice,
He was too close. His hot breath reached Olivia’s cars.
Olivia was a little surprised. She endured the itch in her heart and looked over, However, Daniel had already walked away as if the closeness just now had been just an illusion.
Could it be that her imagination was running wild because of her pregnancy?
Olivia touched her head and felt that she had been overly suspicious recently.
Downstairs, Daniel was already sitting at the dining table. He frowned as he looked at the dishes on the table. It was as if he was taking medicine. He only took a bite after a long time.
Olivia’s heart ached. How could his body recover without eating? She immediately went up and advised, “Daniel, these are all medicinal. cuisine. They’re good for your body. Try them.”
Daniel took a sip and nodded. “It’s delicious. Feels like it was cooked by someone I know.”
Olivia subconsciously tightened her grip on her fingertips. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Daniel’s next sentence was, “The things you cook are somewhat similar, but as people, you two are completely different. She’s very cold to me and doesn’t want me to interfere in anything. Sometimes, I don’t know. what I can do for her. I want to help her, but I’m afraid that she’ll be annoyed. I can only stand behind her carefully and not dare to do anything.”
Speaking of this, he curled his lips and smiled bitterly. “Am I very lowly?” No, no! Tr heart, Olivia shook her head crazily!
It was not that she had been cold to him. She had just forgotten. She liked. him so much. How could she bear to distance herself from him?
Daniel did not eat much. He only drank half a bowl of soup before putting it down. He wiped his mouth and said in a self–deprecating voice, “She always wanted to leave me. First, she forgot about me, then she did. not allow me to interfere in her matters. In the end, she disappeared. I don’t even know where she is.”
Speaking of this, Daniel turned to Olivia. His clear eyes looked at her
deeply, as it they wanted in probe deeply into her eyes. “Miss Berry, du you think she hates me
Nor Olivia couldn’t control her emotions. “She doesn’t hate you”
“Nol”
Upon hearing this, Dantel chuckled. His beautful eyes turned Indifferently like a lutte fox. Just a simple gaze was enough to seduce oney soul.
“Tim done eating” Daniel stood up. “Miss Beery, please enjoy”
“You ate so little?” Olivin asked.
Daniel turned around and looked at her. His voice was cold and clear. “Miss Berry, aren’t you being too nosy? Who are you to talk to me like that? Even my wife is not as nosy as you.”
After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation. Seemingly having taken too big a step, he panted slightly and stopped. breathing for a while before continuing to walk towards the living room.
After Daniel had left, Olivia squatted on the ground and covered her face. Her heart hurt like it was being pricked by needles.
What should I do? What should I do?
Why couldn’t everything in this world be balanced? Why had she regained her memory when her face was ruined?
If she had not remembered everything that happened at the bottom of the cliff back then, she would have dared to stand beside Daniel even if she was disfigured.
Olivia always felt afraid when she thought about everything that had happened back then.
She would be afraid to approach her old home.
She didn’t want to face Daniel in this state.
When liking someone, one would subconsciously ask oneself to show. one’s most beautiful side. Olivia was no exception.
Moreover, she was more rational than ordinary people. Men were visual animals. She knew that Daniel might not care about her ugliness, but
what if
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that he cared, she was unwilling to take the gamble.
Olivia restrained the uncomfortable emotions in her heart. The key now was to think of a way to nurse Daniel’s body back to health, yet he was
Villiónage & Missing Darling,
hot quite willing to eat medicinal cuisine at all.
The original Saintess Berry Flores had not possessed any medical skills. Olivia would not be able to explain why she had medical skills, so she could not openly treat Daniel and nurse his body.
What should she do?
Olivia was frustrated.
Just as she was at a loss, the sound of a television came from the living
room.
It was Daniel watching television. The latter was playing a scene from a classic fantasy series, in which the hero was becoming an apprentice to at spiritual master on a remote mountain. It just so happeried that this spiritual master knocked the hero’s head three times, hinting for the latter to go meet and learn from the master in the middle of the night. Midnight?
Olivia Taylor had a flash of inspiration.
That’s right. She could also go and nurse Daniel’s body in the middle of the night. As long as she administered her silver needles a few times at night, she would be able to get rid of the root cause of the illness. Thinking of this, Olivia heaved a sigh of relief and completely relaxed. In the living room, Daniel’s gaze fell on the hero appearing on the TV. He also curled his lips and smiled with subtle intentions.
Back then, he had taken a fancy to Olivia at a glance. He had spent a lot of effort to make Olivia fall in love with him and taken the initiative to confirm their relationship.
And when Daniel fell in love with someone, he would definitely put in his utmost effort.
He was like a mature and experienced hunter, setting up traps bit by bit and letting his prey slowly take the bait.
Olivia immediately returned to her room to prepare. She had to make a sleeping incense first so that Daniel could fall asleep before she went over and performed the acupuncture.
As soon as Olivia left, Daniel picked up the remote control and turned off the television.
It was so noisy that he had not even heard Livy’s footsteps just now!
At this moment, Ellis came over and reported, “Daniel, the elders of the
nilles and Lucy Lopez are here. Do you want to meet them?”
handel leaned back on the sofa and rested his right arm on the armrest. He said casually, “Ok, since I have nothing to do, I’ll just meet them.”
Chapter 485
As soon as the elders entered, they greeted Daniel eagerly and asked him if he was settling down comfortably here.
Daniel was facing them with his side. His good–looking side profile was cold and beautiful. Even the elders were stunned.
This Daniel was really good–looking.
Daniel was curled up on the sofa lazily. His half–squinted eyes were deep. and charming.
“I love it here,” he said. “It’s given me an unexpected but delightful surprise.”
Wow, such a high evaluation!
The few elders looked at each other. They had not expected Daniel to give such a high evaluation.
The Lopez Family’s First Elder said, “I wonder if dinner is to Daniel’s taste? Lucy and the others specially cooked a few dishes for you.”
Upon hearing this, Daniel did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Braeden Lopez with a little coldness.
Braeden instantly felt uneasy and did not know how to respond. It was Lucy who said apologetically, “Grandpa, we didn’t cook for Daniel.”
“What’s going on?” Braeden’s expression changed.
The other elders also looked over in surprise.
Lucy first smiled shyly at Daniel, then explained in a low voice, “We were preparing dinner in the kitchen, but halfway through, the Saintess went in…
“She…” Lucy made to say something but hesitated as if she was too embarrassed to criticize others.
Irene, on the other hand, couldn’t stand the grievance and interrupted, “Lucy, don’t save face for the Saintess. Daniel, you don’t know this, but the Saintess was very domineering. As soon as she came in, she called all the servants away and didn’t leave any for us, making it impossible for us.
to cook.”
After saying that, she looked at Daniel with a resentful and expectant gaze.
Daniel ignored her and lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was
thinking
After listening to Irene’s complaint, Dolph, First Elder of the Flores larrilly, couldn’t sit still. He really hadn’t expected the Saintess to be so domineering, nor had he expected Irene and the others to complain.
It was obvious that the other three families had joined forces to lay a trap for him.
He had to think of a way. He could not let Daniel misunderstand the Saintess and think that she was arrogant.
Just as Dolph Flores was sweating profusely from anxiety, Daniel spoke. He let out a low laugh, his eyes dark and beautiful. “I hadn’t expected the Saintess to be so thoughtful towards me, and thus requiring so many people for the dishes she prepared.”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and turned to Irene and the others, who were in a daze from confusion, and said in a comforting tone, “I know that you can’t compare to the Saintess in terms of thoughtfulness, but I’m not picky about these things. Just let the chef prepare the three meals.”
Irene was about to cry!
She was clearly here to complain. How did it become that her feelings were inferior to Berry’s?
Lucy and the others were also shocked. They had not expected Daniel to think this way. She stammered, “Dan… Daniel, don’t you think the Saintess is too domineering?”
Daniel glanced over indifferently and asked, “Can’t you cook without servants? Don’t you have hands? You’re so thoughtless and yet falsely accuse others. I don’t expect to eat the dishes you made yourself, but I don’t like people like you who clearly don’t want to do it yourself but still find all kinds of reasons to take credit.
“Hypocrite!”
That lightly enunciated word of judgment made Lucy and the others. blush in frustration.
They wanted to explain, but they did not know how. It was indeed as Daniel had said. Even without servants, they had their own hands. Couldn’t they have done it themselves?
It was already late. Daniel did not want to waste time with them. He waved his hand and said, “You can leave. I’m going to rest.”
Mocatie’s Maane Daiting
he corners of Braeden’s mouth twitched. It was only 8 pan. and Daniel was already going to rest? The sky was not even dark yet!
Although he cursed in his heart, Braeden did not dare to show it. He could only chuckle and leave with a group of people.
After leaving the house, Dolph was in an extremely good mood. He looked at the few people opposite him who had intended to gain an advantage only to end up worse off. He chuckled and said, “Daniel is right. You guys didn’t show genuine care towards him. You even wanted to sue the Saintess. Fortunately, Daniel is smart and didn’t fall for it.” “Hmph!” Braeden flicked his sleeves and turned to give Lucy a command. “Follow me.”
After going somewhere with no one else around, Braeden turned around and looked at Lucy with an expression of having been let down by someone he cared about. “Lucy, what’s wrong with you recently? Why do you keep disappointing me?”
“Grandpa.” Lucy lowered her head, her eyes reddened.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Braeden’s heart ached. He softened his tone and said in a low voice, “Lucy, Lucy, things are different now. You’re no longer the flawless girl of destiny from before. Although those people don’t talk about it openly, they must be laughing at you and Jason Sprout in their hearts.
“Now, you’re using the pretext of bringing glory to the family to shut the mouths of those stubborn old fools in the Lopez family. However, if you fail and don’t get Daniel’s sponsorship for the Lopez family, your status. in the family will be unstable. Even I won’t be able to protect you. “Lucy, you won’t be able to take my seat anymore!”
The First Elder sighed softly.
A trace of stubbornness flashed in Lucy’s eyes. She refused to admit defeat and said, “I won’t lose.”
Braden looked at his granddaughter. “Lucy, there’s always a bigger fish in the pond. Daniel is not simple. Have you seen the changes in the Dale family? In just a few days, the vaunted Dale family had withered to this extent. What kind of person is Irene Dale? Previously, she had been a relative nobody among the younger generation, but now she’s considered on equal footing with you. It can be seen that the Dale family is running. out of talents.
Wilsondres MBang Darling
Don’t let preconceptions fool you when regarding Daniel.
As for that Jason, he’s considered a big shot in the Sprout Family. Sadly, es too ruthless and arrogant. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen into Berry Flores’s hands. Lucy, think carefully. Compared to Daniel, Jason isn’t even worthy of carrying his shoes.”
“Grandpal” Lucy could not stand the First Elder belittling Jason. She could not help but retort, “Jason is also very outstanding.”
“Outstanding?” Braeden sneered and questioned sternly, “Do you know how much the Lopez family’s assets add up to?”
Lucy replied, “One billion dollars.”
“What about the four families combined?”
Lucy thought for a moment. “Less than five billion dollars.”
“Heh.” Braeden sneered. “Then do you know about Daniel’s personal
assets?”
Lucy lowered her head.
Braeden said, “90 billion dollars! Just personal assets, not including the company. This is only on the surface. No one knows how many hidden assets and powers Daniel has. Now, let me ask you, who is Jason compared to someone like Daniel?”
At Braeden’s harsh words, Lucy finally could not resist and cried, “He’s nobody!”
She took a deep breath. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll definitely gain Daniel’s favor.”
“Good girl, that’s my good granddaughter.” Braeden chuckled.
In the Maple Villa, Olivia had already prepared the calming incense and. was thinking of a way to send it into Daniel’s room when Ellis knocked. on the door with a troubled expression. “Miss Berry, do you have calming incense, or some similar kind of medicine, with you? Daniel has been suffering from insomnia.”
Olivia was surprised.
This timely opportunity had just fallen into her lap. She had been so lucky recently!
Chapter 486
Olivia handed the calming incense to Ellis, she looked up at the clock on the wall. It was not even 9 p.m. yet.
Did Daniel sleep so early?
She remembered that he had always been able to stay up late. In the past, whether it was in Phuket Village under the cliff or later in Evervale, he slept very late. He had to hug her tightly every night and would only fall asleep when she fell asleep.
Seemingly noticing Olivia’s confusion, Ellis explained with worry, “Daniel’s sleep quality is too poor. He has insomnia night after night. If he doesn’t lie down early to prepare for sleep, he probably won’t be able to sleep for the entire night.
“Sigh.” Ellis sighed and took the calming incense. “I hope it works.”
After saying that, she nodded at Olivia. “Thank you, Miss Berry, for this calming incense.”
After Ellis left, Olivia sat on the sofa and waited anxiously.
She was confident that the calming incense she had made herself would definitely give Daniel a good sleep. However, because she did not know enough about his insomnia condition, she was worried that Daniel would not fall into a deep sleep.
If it was just a light sleep, he would definitely wake up if there was any movement. This way, she would not have the opportunity to perform acupuncture on him at all.
After half an hour of anxious waiting, Olivia was finally sure that the calming incense was working. She immediately stood up and rushed to Daniel’s room.
She knocked lightly on the door to make sure that no one would answer. Then, she tentatively pressed on the door handle…
Oh, the door wasn’t locked!
Olivia looked down at the wire in her hand. It seemed that she wouldn’t be needing it.
She tiptoed into the living room. There was only a dim yellow night light in the living room.
Olivia walked around the sofa and approached the bedroom.
n’s Mining Darlingt
The lights were still on inside, but there was no sound. He must be asleep!”
Olivia held her breath. Her footsteps were as light as a cat’s. She entered the bedroom with a whoosh and subconsciously looked at the bed… There was actually no one there!
Oh my god. Olivia’s heart was about to jump out!
Daniel had not gone to sleep at all. He was still washing up in the bathroom.
“What do I do?‘
It was rare for Olivia to panic. She immediately turned around and wanted to run. Unexpectedly, just as she took a step, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Daniel was coming out!
It was too late to get out of the room. Olivia used her bodily agility to instantly crawl under the bed and lie on the ground.
The timing was just right. Just as she crawled under the bed, the bathroom door opened. Daniel came out shrouded in water vapor. Barefooted, he walked towards the bed.
Olivia could clearly see the shape of his feet and ten long toes.
Olivia Taylor covered her own mouth with both hands to prevent herself from making a sound. At the same time, her gaze was fixed on Daniel.
He slowly walked to the bed while drying his hair. When he reached the bed, he raised his hand and threw the towel into the dirty laundry basket beside him.
Then, he stood still.
Olivia looked at the calf that was so close to her and was a little curious as to why Daniel had stopped. Could it be that he had found her?
Her heart inexplicably tightened.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound, and then a large white soft towel fell to the ground.
‘Aaaargh!‘
He had taken off the towel!
Olivia’s chest heaved violently and she almost lost control of her
emotions.
Daniel had not detected that someone was under the bed. After taking off his towel, he lay on the bed to sleep.
erhaps it was because of the calming incense, but in less than five
sutes, his even breathing could be heard from the bed. He must have fallen asleep.
To be safe, Olivia waited for another 10 minutes to make sure that he was completely asleep before getting out and up from under the bed. Phew! She heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She took out her silver needles and prepared to give Daniel acupuncture. He was covered with a blanket. The acupuncture had to be done on his chest and thighs, so she had to lift the blanket.
Olivia did not think too much about it and immediately lifted the blanket. Unexpectedly, Daniel was not wearing underwear!
He was sleeping naked!
Her cheeks began to warm up and feel like they were burning. Olivia used all her power of restraint to look away from a certain part of his body.
This guy!
Olivia took a deep breath and patted her cheeks to dissipate the heat. Then, she repeatedly reminded herself that doctors should treat their patients like parents would treat their children.
Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form!’
She recited this mantra several times in her heart before calming down. After some silver needles were inserted into Daniel’s body, Olivia sat by the bed and held her chin, quietly looking at his sleeping face. It was so beautiful!
His eyes were exquisite and beautiful, like a person in a painting, but at the same time his three–dimensional facial features, combined with his beauty, also added on to his masculine and handsome appearance.
Olivia still remembered the first time she had seen him. She had taken a fancy to him at a glance.
Of course, she had to bring such a beautiful boy home!
Olivia stared at Daniel intently. Then, she realized that his face was suddenly red and his body was getting hot.
Did he have a fever?
hales Missing Darling
Olivia subconsciously got up and placed her fingers on his forehead. She realized that it was shockingly hot.
How could this be? She quickly pulled out the silver needles, starting from those on his head, then proceeding to his chest, and then down to his waist and abdomen. And then her eyes suddenly widened!
Why was he having that kind of reaction?
Olivia was inexplicably shocked and did not move for a moment.
This shouldn’t be the case. Isn’t he asleep?”
Suspicion flashed across Olivia’s eyes. She raised a hand to press on a spot on Daniel’s body that would make him laugh, wanting to test him. Unexpectedly, just as her fingertips pressed on their target spot, a large hand suddenly covered her wrist. Then, the world spun and she was pressed onto the bed by Daniel.
Olivia looked up in shock and met a pair of pitch–black eyes that were suppressing madness.
“Daniel,” Olivia muttered subconsciously.
Upon hearing these two words, Daniel’s breathing suddenly became heavier for a moment, as if his body was boiling.
Pressing down on her soft body, Daniel suddenly felt a strong impulse in his heart. Every inch of his skin was clamoring, wanting to eat her up and attack her fiercely.
Olivia was confused at first and could not react in time. When she realized that Daniel had woken up, panic flashed across her eyes.
No, she could not let Daniel see her like this.
She struggled to get away.
Almost as soon as she moved, Daniel reacted. His deep eyes instantly became dreamy. He muttered like a little beast and buried his head in her neck. He whispered, “Livy, have you come into my dream?”
Upon hearing this, Olivia stopped struggling and slowly raised a hand to pat his hair. She whispered, “Yes, I’m in the dream.”
Daniel seemed to accept this fact. He snuggled against her like a little beast. “Livy, I’ve missed you so much. Where have you gone? Why haven’t you come back to find me? I’m so sad.”
Olivia could not help but tear up. She turned her head and planted a kiss on his forehead. “Wait a little longer. Wait for me. Give me some time I’ll
dionale Missing Dorling
come and find you soon.”
In a dark region that Olivia could not see, Daniel’s eyes flashed with a dim abyssal glint. He moved his body in a subtle way and stealthily pressed his right hand between his legs.
At this moment, he should be pure and not lustful.
He had to make Livy’s heart ache for him.
Chapter 487
When he heard Olivia ask him to give her some more time before she came to look for him, Daniel frowned slightly and his eyes darkened subconsciously.
How much time was “some more time? He really couldn’t take it anymore.
He didn’t want to be separated from her again. Not for a quarter of an hour, not a minute, not even a second.
He had had enough of separation!
Was it because he had been too sensible and too obedient, and given let her too little to worry about? Everyone and everything consumed her time and energy. Only he stayed quietly by her side without saying a word.
He had thought that this way, she would like him, feel comfortable, and be steady and happy with him.
However, he had forgotten that the result of being too obedient was to be overlooked.
Daniel really felt that his patience had reached its limit.
He forcefully suppressed the frustration in his heart and pretended to be talking in his sleep. “Livy, why should I wait? I miss you. I miss you very much. I want to be with you now.”
Olivia’s gaze softened as she said softly, “I’m now…
At this point, she closed her eyes and felt uneasy.
She really couldn’t say it.
Sometimes, rationality could not solve all problems. Even someone ast smart and calm as Olivia had times when she was stressed about gains. and losses.
Caring too much about something would make one fearful of losing it. She took a deep breath and forced a smile. Her tone was light. “Be a good boy. Wait a little longer. It won’t be long before I come looking for you.” No, he would not be a good boy!
Daniel’s eyes were tinted with the hue of blood.
He didn’t want to be a good boy. He wanted to make a fuss and act out.
16:53
Missing Darling
He wanted Livy to focus all his attention on him.
No one else, no one, could steal her attention.
Daniel lowered his eyes and hid all the madness and abuse in his eyes. His voice was as low as a whisper. “Livy, when are you coming back to find me?”
How long would it be?
Olivia was silent. She did not know how long it would take. The baby in her belly was already three months old. There were still seven months to go before it was born.
With a low sigh, Olivia said, “One year, at the latest.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Olivia felt a suppressive vibe. There seemed to be dark clouds above her head, and she felt suffocated.
Before she could react, Daniel suddenly tightened his arms and held her tightly. His voice seemed to be ground out from between his teeth with at bone–piercing maliciousness. “One year, just one year.”
Olivia was a little frightened. She had never seen Daniel like this. In her heart, Daniel had always been a humble gentleman, calm and gentle, always thinking for others‘ sake first.
She had never thought that he would be like this. She was stunned for a moment and did not dare to speak for a long time.
Then she said carefully, “Yes, just for a year. No matter what the outcome is after a year, I’ll come and see you.”
Daniel’s eyes were silent. His expression was calm, but there was a gloominess that was about to come.
He said casually, If you don’t come a year later, I’ll die here, and take Andrew with me.”
“Daniel!” Olivia could not bear to hear such words. Her heart sank and her tone became sharp. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Daniel chuckled. The corners of his slightly raised eyes were cold and thin. His eyes were as calm as still water, but underneath the calmness, there was a soul–stirring determination. “I’m not spouting nonsense, Livy. I mean what I say.”
Olivia’s heart sank. She could not help but sob. She subconsciously hugged him tightly and whispered, “No, Daniel, don’t scare me.”
Daniel did not say anything. He just buried his head in front of her chest

Daniel was already immune to the kind of sleeping incense sent by Olivia. No matter how powerful the sleeping medications were, they were. ineffective against Daniel
Only Olivia was the most effective medicine.
Only by lying beside her would Daniel relax and feel at ease.
Olivia lay quietly and motionlessly on the bed. She listened to Daniel’s breathing slowly become heavier before slowly getting up and leaving. The next morning, Olivia slept till very late before getting up. After she had gotten pregnant, she had slept more. She would sleep eight hours a day and occasionally ten hours.
After the ordeal last night, she was already sleeping late. When Olivia opened her eyes, it was already past nine in the morning. It was almost.
ten.
“Oh God!
Olivia rubbed her forehead. Why had she slept til now? Daniel must have woken up. Seeing her sleeping till so late, he would definitely have a bad impression of her.
Olivia washed up briefly and pushed the door open. She found that the entire corridor was quiet. The second and first floors were quiet. She barely saw any servant around too.
“What happened?”
Olivia was puzzled. She walked downstairs and saw the servant standing at the corner in the living room. She was very surprised. “Why are you standing here? Where are the others?”
The servant explained, “The others are all in their rooms. In the morning, Ms. Wilson said that Daniel is a light sleeper. She told everyone not to make a sound and to stay quiet. They can only move when Daniel wakes up
The servant had an innocent look. “I didn’t dare to do anything. I could

only stand here in a daze. When the elders came over just now, they were all blocked by Ms. Wilson. Miss Lopez, Miss Dale, and the others are all In their rooms. They haven’t even had breakfast.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia could not help but soften and lower her voice. Alright then, I won’t make a sound either, and I’ll stay here quietly.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ellis appeared out of nowhere and said loudly, “Daniel is awake. Hurry up and prepare breakfast.”
As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if she suddenly saw Olivia Taylor. “Oh, Miss Berry is here too. What do you want to eat in the morning? We’ll let the kitchen staff prepare it together.
Olivia tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Hmm, steamed buns and seafood cereal, as well as sunny–side–up eggs, nuts, and a few stir–fried vegetables.”
Olivia listed several things in one go.
“Saintess, I see you’re getting comfortable.” Irene came down from upstairs and said in a teasing tone, “Ms. Wilson was just being polite. And you really took her up on the offer.”
Olivia raised her eyebrows and was about to retort.
Ellis said, “Miss Dale, don’t misinterpret my good intentions. I am being sincere with my offer.”
After saying that, she turned to Lucy and the other two who had just come downstairs and asked politely, “What do you three ladies want to eat this morning?”
Lucy was the first to speak. “Anything is fine. We go by Daniel’s tastes.” “Yes, yes.” Joey agreed. “We can eat anything.”
Ellis nodded and did not continue asking. Instead, she turned to Olivia. “Is that all Miss Berry wants? Do you want to eat something else?”
“It’s enough.”
“Okay.”
Ellis left.
Olivia also left.
As soon as the two of them left, Irene immediately sat on the sofa and looked at Lucy in disbelief. She said in an incredilous tone, “Saintess Flores is really arrogant. She actually ordered food in front of everyone. Tsk tsk.”
Pellebratres Missing Darling
Don’t worry about it.” Lucy’s tone was indifferent. “Details determine but if success or failure. Daniel might not care about such a small matter, there are too many ants, they can bite an elephant to death. If there are too many small matters, it will also affect the outcome. Let the Saintess be arrogant first. Sooner or later, Daniel will hate her.”
Hearing this, Joey covered her mouth and giggled. “I think Ms. Wilson was just being polite and asking casually. She wasn’t really asking what. Saintess Flores wanted to eat at all. Just wait and see. When breakfast is served later, there definitely won’t be anything the Saintess ordered. At most, there will be one or two dishes.”
“Of course.” Irene nodded. “She listed so much in one go. Who would
remember it? Besides, Ms. Wilson is not her servant. Why would she care
to note down her order?”

It would take some time to prepare breakfast, so Lucy and the rest didn’t. wait around, going back to their rooms to do what they needed to do. The three of them were unhappy with Berry and often sat together to complain about her. However, the three of them were also competitors. and had their own thoughts, so they couldn’t stay in each other’s company for long either.
In the room, Lucy had just sat down when she received a call from Jason. Lucy looked at the familiar number on her phone and closed her eyes, not answering the phone.
However, the other party seemed to have a lot of patience and kept calling.
Lucy’s heart softened, so she answered the call. “Jason.”
“Lucy, you finally answered your phone.”
The corners of Lucy’s mouth twitched, and she said in a mocking tone, “What difference does it make? Jason, we can’t be together anymore.”
“Lucy, listen to me.” Jason took a deep breath. “Everything I’m saying now is very important. You have to listen carefully.”
Lucy frowned, not knowing what Jason was up to.
Jason held the phone tightly. “Ms. Taylor from the Hushe Republic contacted me.”
“That’s it?” Lucy’s face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. “What’s the big deal?”
“Lucy!” Jason’s tone quickened. “There’s more than meets the eye with regards to ‘Ms. Taylor! Her identity isn’t simple. She’s related to the Hushe Republic’s Capitol Research Institute.”
“Capitol Research Institute!” Lucy suddenly raised her voice, her voice. almost cracking.
Capitol Research Institute was famous internationally.
Over the past few years, Capitol Research Institute published several scientific research results which shocked the world. Now, the entire world. was watching Capitol Research Institute. In the past, the top students in the Hushe Republic wanted to go overseas and learn top science and. technology from Mala or Eichen.
Now it was the complete opposite. All the scientific research geniuses around the world were trying to study in the Hushe Republic, hoping that they could enter Capitol Research Institute.
It was a paradise that all the top students in the world yearned for. Braeden had wanted to obtain a technology licensing from Capitol Research Institute some time ago, However, the scale of the Lopez family’s company was too small, so Capitol Research Institute was not interested. In the end, they collaborated with a large international corporation.
Braeden had been brooding over this matter and could not let it go. If he could get the authorization, the Lopez family’s business would definitely advance rapidly and at least double in size.
This matter was huge!‘ Lucy thought.
Lucy’s heart skipped a beat. “How can ‘Ms. Taylor‘ be related to Capitol Research Institute? Is your information accurate?”
“Yes!” Jason nodded. “Yes, ‘Ms. Taylor‘ told me herself. She contacted me yesterday and said that she knew the higher–ups of Capitol Research Institute and could speak to them. I didn’t believe it at first, but after some investigation, I confirmed that she can indeed speak to the higher–ups of Capitol Research Institute!”
“That’s great!” Lucy was excited, and her previous gloominess was swept
away.
Hearing his beloved woman’s happy voice, Jason was satisfied. Jason said. in a low voice, his tone magnetic and affectionate, “Lucy, wait for me. As long as I get the medical license from Capitol Research Institute, I can completely control the Sprout family and help them stand out!
“As long as I stand at the center of stop us from being power, no one ca together!”
Lucy was also fired up by what Jason had just told her. Even so, she still had some rationality. “Jason, what’s going on with that ‘Ms. Taylor‘? Why did she look for you? Will she make things difficult for you?”
“What else could it be? She’s a woman. Of course, it’s about love.” Jason’s tone was indifferent. Although he had to rely on ‘Olivia‘ to obtain Capitol Research Institute’s medical license, he did not take her seriously. “Lucy, don’t worry. It’s not anything serious. She just wants me to pay attention. to Daniel’s movements.”
“I see. Lucy nodded, understanding the situation. “It just so happens that
stain Missing Darling
I’m at Maple Villa and by Daniel’s side. If Daniel has any special
movements, I’ll tell you immediately.”
After hanging up the phone, Lucy figured that breakfast was almost ready and hurried downstairs.
Everyone was already in the dining area, including Daniel. Lucy apologized, “Sorry for being late.”
Daniel sat at the center of the table. He was wearing a black
cloud–patterned shirt with two buttons undone, revealing his exquisite collarbones. Daniel sat there quietly, looking so good that he almost didn’t look like a real person.
Lucy sighed inwardly. ‘Such an outstanding man. No wonder that Ms. Taylor is so careful. Lucy thought.
Daniel didn’t care that Lucy was late. He didn’t even look up at her and just nodded casually in response.
Breakfast was served very quickly. First, there was a bowl of cereal, followed by steamed buns, sunny–side–up eggs, and sausages.
At first, Lucy didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary, but as more and more dishes were served, her mind buzzed. Lucy suddenly remembered what Berry had said downstairs.
Lucy realized that these were all Berry’s favorite dishes.
Berry had mentioned so many dishes, but Ellis had not missed a single one and prepared all of them.
Lucy’s heart raced, and her mind went blank. For a moment, Lucy wasn’t sure if Ellis was meticulous and was especially friendly to everyone or if he only gave such special treatment to Berry.
Irene and Joey stared at the table, which was full of breakfast dishes as if they were statues. They sat at the table in a daze, only the color of their faces changing, going from sickly to pale.
When Olivia saw the table full of breakfast dishes, she was also a little. surprised. However, Olivia quickly remembered that many of the foods she had asked for were Daniel’s favorites, so they were probably not specially prepared for her.
At the thought of this, Olivia’s tense heart relaxed. Then, Olivia looked up and observed Daniel quietly.
As soon as Olivia’s gaze landed on Daniel, he instantly noticed it.
With a swoosh, Daniel’s entire body tensed up.
Wind & Mixing Daling
Daniel’s whole body screamed at him, ‘Livy is looking at me! Livy is looking at me!’
As soon as this signal was sent, Daniel instantly became elegant and beautiful. Even the image of him eating cereal was extremely beautiful, like a painting.
Olivia quietly observed for a while and realized that Daniel was not behaving any differently. Instead, he ate his breakfast quietly and did not even look in her direction.
Olivia nodded. ‘I must have been overthinking.‘ Olivia thought.
After confirming that, Olivia relaxed and began to observe Daniel. Olivia realized that Daniel’s posture was incomparably elegant and impeccable when he ate breakfast.
“How eye–catching!‘ Olivia thought.
Olivia ate her cereal while secretly looking at Daniel. The more Olivia looked at him, the more happy she was.
Meanwhile, Daniel’s movements became stiffer and stiffer under Olivia’s increasingly direct gaze. It was as if something was burning deep in his heart and was about to burn him to ashes.
Daniel thought, ‘Livy is really straightforward. If she likes something, she’ll keep looking directly at it without hiding it. Livy is really the cutest girl in the world.
Daniel’s smooth movements naturally attracted not only Olivia’s
attention but also the other three people. All of them couldn’t help but stare at Daniel. Irene’s eyes were fixed on Daniel, and she couldn’t help but say, “Daniel’s eating is so elegant.”
Upon hearing this, Daniel’s hand that was holding the spoon froze. Daniel slammed the spoon onto the table and looked up. Daniel’s deep eyes were filled with coldness and disgust. “Is this the Dale family’s upbringing? Why are you staring at people like that?”
After saying that, Daniel turned to Ellis and said coldly, “In the future, let Miss Dale eat alone in her room.”
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Irene’s face instantly turned pale. Her lips trembled, and she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Joey and Lucy also quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Daniel.
In the end, only Olivia was left looking at Daniel. Olivia’s heart was
was looking at him just now too. Would he despise me for that?‘ Olivia wondered
Olivia lowered her eyes, a look of worry flashing across them. Olivia did not dare to look in Daniel’s direction.
Daniel, who noticed Olivia lowering her head, was instantly unhappy.
Why isn’t Livy looking at me?‘ Daniel thought.

Chapter 489
Instantly, the food Daniel was eating was no longer tasty.
Daniel was no longer in the mood to maintain his composure and began to eat slowly.
The four of them finished eating, but Daniel was still eating some desserts that had been brought out. For just a small piece of burnt cheesecake, he chewed about 12 times before swallowing it.
‘Does he not have an appetite?‘ Olivia wondered.
Olivia looked worried. She remembered that Daniel always ate very quickly and had never eaten so slowly before.
Olivia lowered her head and thought about it. I have to prepare something easy to digest for dinner later. She thought.
The elders of the familiar
The breakfast that lasted for more than half an hour finally ended. had been waiting outside for a long time. When they heard that Daniel had finished his breakfast, they immediately came over and invited Daniel to watch the competition. Today’s competition was going to be very intense. It was one of the three main events of the Star Competition, the Voodoo Worm Competition. It had always been the focus of the elites of various families.
The participants would control their voodoo worms and make all kinds. of difficult movements. They could also fight with other voodoo worms. Lucy was also a participant in this competition. She had always been the elite among the rich third–generation and had a tacit understanding with her voodoo worms. Lucy had already won two consecutive championships.
This time-
Lucy was determined to win as well.
The few elders chatted for a long time, but Daniel’s expression remained indifferent. Daniel sat on the sofa calmly, as if he was not interested in the competition.
Seeing this, Braeden was a little anxious.
Today’s competition was Lucy’s home ground. It was also a perfect. opportunity for the Lopez Family. Daniel would definitely have a good impression of the Lopez Family after seeing Lucy win the championship by showcasing her skills in controlling her voodoo worms.

At the thought of this, Braeden spared no effort in inviting him. “Daniel, the Voodoo Worm Competition this time is especially intense. All the elites of the four families will be mobilized. You can see all kinds of voodoo worms.
Daniel’s eyes were indifferent and there was no expression on his face. “Daniel?” Braeden was anxious.
Daniel ignored Braeden and suddenly turned to look at Olivia and the rest who were sitting opposite him. Daniel asked, “Do you want to watch it?”
They did not expect Daniel to ask for their opinions. Lucy and the others immediately became nervous, not knowing what was going on.
Irene was so excited that she stuttered, “I… I…“.
Hearing this, Daniel frowned slightly. His gaze was filled with disdain, and he casually turned to look at Olivia. It looked like a subconscious action. Daniel asked, “Saintess, how about you? Do you want to watch?” Olivia was sitting on the sofa in a daze. When Daniel suddenly asked her the question, Olivia did not react for a moment. After a while, she replied. slowly, “The Voodoo Worm Competition is very interesting.” Charlee had. been nagging Olivia for a long time, saying that the Voodoo Worm Competition was interesting.
Olivia had heard it many times and was also curious, so she wanted to take a look.
“Okay.” The corners of Daniel’s mouth twitched as he nodded lightly. “Since Saintess said it’s interesting, let’s go take a look and see how interesting it is.”
With that, Daniel stood up and walked towards the door.
When Braeden saw this, he hurriedly followed after Daniel. When Braeden reached the door, he suddenly turned around and gave Olivia a deep look.
Braeden started to wonder, ‘Am I thinking too much? Was Daniel asking casually, or was he really asking for Saintess‘ opinion?”
Braeden frowned and decided that he would ask Lucy about the situation. in Maple Villa..
The competition venue was already packed with people. People from the four different families were all gathered around to watch the
competition.
ucy was a participant, so she quickly went backstage to prepare. Charlee was also participating in this competition, so Olivia went to see
her
Seeing Olivia, Charlee was very happy. “Saintess, why are you here?” Although she had been happy to see Olivia, Charlee quickly became depressed and said nervously, “Saintess, I’m so scared. You were the one who thought of a way to catch this voodoo worm for me. It’s different from the voodoo worms that others have raised for many years. We don’t have any tacit understanding between us at all. What if… it doesn’t listen to me during the competition?”
“Don’t worry.” The corners of Olivia’s lips curled up. Her tone was calm and confident. “I’m here.”
Olivia was very proficient in medicine and voodoo, Comparatively, Olivia was not that good at controlling voodoo worms. However, it was just that she was inexperienced. It did not mean that she couldn’t do it.
Olivia had already taught this voodoo worm a few simple instructions. ‘If nothing goes wrong, it shouldn’t perform too badly! Olivia thought.
‘It’s just that I don’t know the level of the other voodoo worms. Can they beat Charlee’s worm?‘ Olivia wondered.
Thinking of this, Olivia said, “Bring me backstage to see the other voodoo worms.” Olivia could estimate Charlee’s ranking by looking at the quality and strength of the other voodoo worms.
The voodoo worms were all in small cages backstage. Some were quiet and motionless, while others were jumping around and making noise. Olivia looked at them one by one and realized that very few voodoo worms were comparable to Charlee’s worm.
Olivia turned around and patted Charlee’s shoulder, encouraging her, “Good luck, you will definitely get a good ranking.”
Olivia’s tone was low and powerful. Charlee had not been very confident at first, but after hearing this, she immediately became energetic. Charlee clenched her right fist and said, “Saintess, don’t worry. I will do my best!” The competition was about to begin. Olivia returned to the audience area. and sat next to Daniel.
Daniel did not seem to notice Olivia. He kept his gaze straight ahead as if she was just an unimportant person.
Seeing this, Olivia secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
kily it seems like Daniel doesn’t recognize me. He was probably just Casually asking about watching the competition earlier. Olivia thought. Lucy was the champion of the previous Voodoo Worm Competition, so the occupied the best position this time and was the first to compete. The competition was about to begin, and the noisy crowd around them became quiet. All of them stared fixedly at the competition arena. Braeden sat in the audience with a proud expression. From the corner of his eye, he kept glancing at Daniel.
Unlike the other contestants, Lucy did not release her voodoo worm from the cage. Instead, she lowered her head, placed her hands in front of her chest, and made a gesture with her hands.
Seeing this, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone held their breaths.
‘Oh my goodness, can she let the voodoo worm open its own cage? This is really difficult. No one has succeeded before.”
This collective thought was shared by everyone there.
Lucy had thrown a surprise right from the start, eclipsing the participants. who had their turn after hers.
Lucy stood on the high platform in a long red dress. Lucy lowered her head and made a gesture. The wind blew her long hair behind her, making her look like a fairy.
For a moment, the audience did not know if they should look at Lucy or her voodoo worm.
Lucy made a complicated gesture with her hands.
The audience held their breath as they looked at the cage, wanting to see how the voodoo worm would come out from its cage.
Olivia was also a little curious. This was actually similar to taming beasts. It required a lot of surprise and tacit understanding. Olivia had seen. others train monkeys, tigers, and snakes, but she had never seen them. train insects.
It was quiet inside the cage. The voodoo worm lay quietly on the ground, not moving at all.
“Why is this happening?‘ Lucy wondered.
Lucy frowned and made hand gestures while playing a tune.
However, the voodoo worm remained motionless..
Lucy’s face had already turned pale, and the people below the stage
Alimonbel Musing Darling
gan to become restless.
Now, everyone had the same thoughts.
Lucy Lopez has failed! The voodoo worm doesn’t listen to her at all!” Lucy became more and more anxious, and the whistle in her mouth. became faster and faster.
Impossible, this is definitely impossible!‘ Lucy thought, her forehead covered in sweat. ‘I practiced opening the cage for so long, it’s not possible that I would fail.
Seeing this, Lucy became more and more flustered and didn’t know what she was supposed to do.
Braeden’s face darkened slowly.
“Lucy!” Braeden spoke. “Open the cage!”
Braeden wanted Lucy to give up on trying to get the voodoo worm to open the cage.
Lucy was a little unwilling, but she knew that if this continued, she would only make a bigger fool of herself. Lucy could only squat down and open the cage door.
Lucy reached in with her fingertips to let the voodoo worm jump into her hand.
However, after sticking her hand into the cage for a long time, the voodoo worm did not move.
Lucy frowned and looked over carefully. Then, her expression changed drastically.
Lucy’s voodoo worm was dead.
Chapter 490
It was dead.
Olivia raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at the commotion In the venue.
Braeden seemed to have gone crazy, insisting that the competition could not continue. Braeden was determined to find out who had killed the voodoo worm.
Braeden jumped up and down. “Mr. Flores, is this what you mean by foolproof? Now that such a big mess has happened in the competition, how can you still have the face to host this Star Competition? Quickly hand over the hosting rights while the Star Competition has just begun. The four families will hold it together!
“If the Flores family doesn’t give us an explanation today, then there’s no need to hold the Star Competition anymore!
“I’m sure you know what level Lucy is at. If you want to suppress her, do it openly in the competition. Don’t play these underhanded tricks!”
Dolph was indeed at a disadvantage, so he didn’t say anything as Braeden continued to berate him. It was only when Dolph heard the last sentence that his face suddenly turned cold.
Braeden was slandering the Flores family.
“What do you mean by underhanded tricks?” Dolph retorted. “Mr. Lopez, if you have any doubts, just say it directly. Don’t use a roundabout way to imply that the Flores family is up to no good! I agree that Lucy has always been the best at controlling voodoo worms, but the Flores family is not bad, either. Many talented juniors have surfaced. I’m not so petty as to secretly harm a junior’s voodoo worm!”
Braeden sneered. Braeden crossed his arms and stood in the middle. “Then find the murderer and give the Lopez family and everyone else here an explanation for what happened today!
“Today, Lucy’s voodoo worm died. Tomorrow, it might be the voodoo worms of the other participants!”
Braeden was aggressive and refused to give in. Dolph had no choice but to promise to suspend the competition and find the culprit first.
Dolph called the manager who was in charge of taking care of the voodoo worms backstage to ask about the voodoo worms.

Olivia raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at the commotion In the venue.
Braeden seemed to have gone crazy, insisting that the competition could not continue. Braeden was determined to find out who had killed the Voodoo worm.
Braeden jumped up and down. “Mr. Fiores, is this what you mean by foolproof? Now that such a big mess has happened in the competition, how can you still have the face to host this Star Competition? Quickly hand over the hosting rights while the Star Competition has just begun. The four families will hold it together!
“If the Flores family doesn’t give us an explanation today, then there’s no need to hold the Star Competition anymore!

Today, Lucy’s voodoo worm died. Tomorrow, it might be the voodoo orms of the other participants!”
iraeden was aggressive and refused to give in. Dolph had no choice but > promise to suspend the competition and find the culprit first.
olph called the manager who was in charge of taking care of the podoo worms backstage to ask about the voodoo worms.

nager trembled. “Mr. Flores, all the voodoo worms are placed backstage to be managed. Special people are guarding them, and than the participants, almost no one else can enter
in that case, the murderer is among the participants!” Dolph’s eyes. sharpened as he stared at the manager.
The manager was so frightened that his forehead was covered in sweat. He shook his head anxiously. “I don’t know. I really don’t know.”
Lucy’s mood remained low. The death of the voodoo worm that had been with her for many years was no different from losing her family. Lacy remained in a daze.
After a long while, Lucy finally calmed down.
Lucy looked at the manager and enunciated each word as she spoke, “The voodoo worm can’t die out of thin air. I even went to see it this morning. During the competition, it couldn’t move. This means that the murderer is someone who went in this morning!”
This morning?‘ The manager thought.
After this reminder, the manager instantly reacted. “Not many people went backstage to look at the voodoo worms this morning. There were only a few participants and…”
At this point, the manager’s expression changed and his body instantly stiffened.
Braeden realized that something was wrong. Braeden grabbed the manager’s shoulder and asked, “Who else? Tell us!”
The manager shivered and said in a trembling voice, “It was… Saintess.” As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if an explosion had gone off. Lucy shook her head in disbelief. “It’s… her!”
Someone interjected, “I did see Saintess Flores at the backstage area with the voodoo worms. She did say that she would let that girl, Charlee, get a good ranking. At that time, I even mocked them. How could an unknown little girl stand out among so many elites of the four families? It turns
out…”
The person stopped talking, but it had already planted the seed of doubt in everyone’s mind.
Everyone was talking at once. One after another, they convicted Olivia in the blink of an eye and determined that she was the one who had harmed the voodoo worm.
ph did not actually like Berry, but they were family after all, and their were related. Dolph did not want Berry to be tainted with such isations, so he said, “There’s no concrete evidence yet, so how can sure she did it? Moreover, Saintess did not participate in the ition, so there’s no reason for her to harm Lucy’s voodoo worm.” There’s a reasonl” Joey spoke loudly. “I know why she tried to kill Lucy’s voodoo worm. It’s because of Daniel. For the past two days, she has been ostracizing us in Maple Villa. She must have been afraid that Lucy’s victory today would attract Daniel’s attention. That’s why she killed the voodoo worm!”
“Don’t tell me Saintess Flores is interested in Daniel?” Someone laughed mockingly.
The others also whispered among themselves, feeling this possibility was very high.
Dolph’s face darkened. “Call Saintess over here.”
Olivia was still in the audience. Although she was curious about how the voodoo worm had died, she did not go over.
Daniel was right beside her, and Olivia wanted to spend more time with him.
Olivia was a little surprised to see someone coming to get her. “What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?”
The person’s face was red. Perhaps it was because he ran too quickly, he stammered as she spoke, “Saintess, go over quickly. They’re investigating the murder of the voodoo worm.”
Hearing this, Olivia raised her eyebrows. Olivia’s mind raced, and she instantly guessed what was going on.
They’re trying to slander me!‘ Olivia thought to herself.
Olivia suddenly stood up, and a sharp aura burst forth from between her brows. Olivia said coldly, “Lead the way.
There was already a tight crowd of people in the backstage area. However, when Olivia arrived, everyone subconsciously made way for her to pass.
Joey hid behind the crowd and stared at Berry in front of her with a dark gaze. Although Berry’s face was covered, her aura was shocking.
Joey clenched her fists and thought of Jason’s instructions. A trace of smugness flashed in Joey’s eyes.
Flores, there’s no need for you to be smug. From today onwards, will be naded to the pillar of shame for murdering voodoo worms se you are jealous of others. Let Daniel see your true colors!”
was sure that Daniel wouldn’t continute to let such a person with a f character stay in Maple Villa.
Olivia walked to the center of the crowd. Olivia did not look like she was being interrogated at all, Instead, she looked like a big shot who could tell right from wrong, instantly controlling the situation.
Tell me, what happened?” Olivia slowly lifted her eyelids and looked at everyone.
Joey stepped forward and said coldly, “I really didn’t expect you to be so calm at this time. Your mental fortitude is indeed strong! Let me ask you, did you come backstage to see the voodoo worms before the
competition?”
Olivia’s lips curled upwards. Her expression was calm and composed, carrying an innate aura of nobility and arrogance. “Why? Is there a place in the Flores family that I can’t go to? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”
Joey’s expression changed. Joey was instantly intimidated by her aura and was speechless for a long time. It took her a while to react. Joey could not help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. “You’re still changing the topic at a time like this. No matter how calm and high your status is, it can’t change the fact that you’re jealous of Lucy!
“You’re clearly coveting Daniel. It’s one thing for you to take up all his time at Maple Villa, but you’re actually so ruthless as to kill Lucy’s voodoo worm!”
Joey had deliberately timed it. Jason had already sent someone to bring Daniel over. Joey was merely waiting for the moment Daniel entered the door to shout these words.
Joey wanted to let Daniel know how evil Berry was and that she would do anything because of jealousy.
Men hated scheming women. Their scheme was not thorough, but it did. not matter. Jason had already said that he wanted Daniel to have a preconceived impression. As long as Daniel had a bad impression of Berry, their scheme would succeed.
It did not matter whether Berry was determined to be guilty or not.
After saying this, Joey turned around and looked at the door with a smug
Daniel had just entered when he heard these words. Daniel was stunned. Daniel had settled into a little bubble of happiness.
Was Livy lighting for my favor? Does she like me so much that she wants. me to pay attention to her?‘ Daniel wondered.
Oh my gosh, I’m so excited, what should I do?‘ Daniel thought.
Daniel had to use almost all his self–control to stop himself from laughing out loud.
