Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde -
Chapter 281-290
Chapter 281
Evelyn repeatedly uttered these two remarks, claiming that Olivia’s life was designed by someone.
However, she did not know the details. She was in a daze about many things, just going along with what Lindsey said and not knowing much.
“What should we do?” Tyson asked Olivia about how to handle Evelyn.
Olivia leaned back in her chair with her head slightly lowered. She looked indifferent, not particularly concerned about Evelyn’s words.
Her determination was strong, and she would not be swayed by a few words from Evelyn.
Upon hearing Tyson’s question, she raised her head and said, “Send her to the police station. She conspired to harm Mrs. Taylor. There will be a legal trial for her.”
Tyson understood.
After a while, Olivia received a call from Harper.
Harper was Daniel’s cousin. After Daniel and Olivia got engaged, Harper and Olivia became much closer. In order to get closer to her future cousin–in–law, Harper took the initiative to call her and ask her to go shopping.
“Olivia, the department store has new arrivals,” Harper said. “Let’s go shopping and pick out a few clothes for Daniel.” She giggled and continued, “In the past, Daniel’s clothes were handled by the butler. Now that he’s engaged, he can finally wear the clothes his fiancée chooses for him.”
Olivia was not interested in shopping, but she was interested in choosing clothes for Daniel.
The two of them agreed on a time, and Olivia asked Kelly if she wanted to go.
Kelly shook her head and said, “I’ve signed with a talent agency, and I have to go back for training. We’re going to form a group next month.”
Olivia did not know much about the entertainment industry, so she asked carefully.
After Kelly’s explained, Olivia understood.
It turned out that Kelly had signed up for a variety show called “Onwards, Girls!“. More than one hundred girls participated. After the preliminary rounds, advancing stages, and the final battle, a total of nine girls. were selected to form a group.
Olivia did not quite understand this method of forming a group. She frowned slightly and asked, “Why do you want to join a girl group? Wouldn’t it be better to act in movies or TV dramas directly?”
Kelly covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking to herself, “Olivia is smart in other aspects, but when it comes to the entertainment industry, she doesn’t know how things work.”
She hurriedly explained, “I’m just a regular person now. Who would hire me to act in television dramas? And don’t underestimate girl groups. This variety show is very popular. The final group formation is not the most important thing. What matters is that I can use this process to build up my popularity.”
Olivia understood now.
After Kelly left, Tyson curiously took out his phone and began to search for this show. Then, he handed it to Olivia and said, “Miss Taylor, look, this show is generating a lot of buzz. It hasn’t even been aired yet, yet it’s already trending.”
Olivia took the phone and glanced at it, furrowing her brows.
Tyson was curious. He asked, “Miss Taylor, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No,” Olivia said as she shook her head. “I’m worried that someone would bully Kelly.”
Tyson thought, “How is that possible?”
Tyson was left speechless, thinking, “Kelly has undergone special training. Her skills are even better than a big man like me. How could she possibly be bullied?”
Just as he was about to speak to comfort Olivia, he saw Olivia take out her phone and call Daniel, saying, “Daniel, I want to sponsor a variety show, but I don’t have a suitable entertainment company under my name. Can you help with this?”
Daniel was certainly more than willing. He said, “Sure. Which show do you want to sponsor?”
Olivia said, “The show is ‘Onwards, Girls!. 20 million dollars in sponsorship fee.”
Daniel found it a little strange. “Why do you suddenly want to sponsor a variety show?” he said. “Is the Smith family doing something?”
“No,” Olivia said with an indifferent expression. “The Smith family does need to advertise, but not in the entertainment industry.”
“Why do you want to do that then?” Daniel asked.

Olivia’s eyes were calm as she explained, “I’m worried that someone would bully Kelly, so I want to support her.”
Tyson, who was drinking water at the side, burst out laughing and spat out the water.
He thought, “What an astounding display of doting on someone!
“20 million dollars in sponsorship fee.
“I’m really envious and jealous. Why am I not Kelly? I’d be willing to change gender.”
Jealousy distorted Tyson completely!
The place where Harper had arranged to meet Olivia was very close. When Olivia arrived, Harper was looking at shirts in a men’s clothing store.
Upon seeing Olivia, Harper hurriedly ran over and said, “Olivia, what do you think of this piece? Isn’t it very stylish? There’s a tech conference next Wednesday. Let’s pick one for Daniel.”
The store chosen by Harper had a good taste of style. It was luxurious and low–key.
Olivia loved the style here. She chose a shirt, a suit, and a dark red striped tie for Daniel.
The sales assistant had just finished packaging the items when a familiar person walked in from outside.
It was Winona.
Harper blinked. She was stunned for a moment at first. Then, she was suddenly thrilled. “Winona,” she said. “You’re Winona!”
Winona smiled gently with an elegant demeanor. She then affectionately patted Harper on the head and said, “Harper, I didn’t expect you to still remember me.”
“How could I forget you, Winona?” Harper replied joyfully. She then turned around, wanting to introduce Winona to Olivia. “Olivia, this is Winona, my cousin’s…”
At this point, Harper paused for a moment. Thinking about Winona’s previous relationship with Daniel, she suddenly became awkward. She lowered her voice and said, “Winona is my cousin’s classmate.” Then, she introduced Olivia to Winona, saying, “This is Olivia, my future cousin–in–law.”
Winona nodded. There was no trace of dissatisfaction or jealousy on her face. She had a gentle and graceful demeanor, as if she was truly an old friend who had not met Olivia in a long time.
“I’ve met Olivia before,” Winona said with a gentle smile.
Then, she gently swept her gaze, and it landed on the clothes held by the sales assistant. “Choosing clothes for Daniel, huh?” she asked.
Harper nodded and said, “Yep. There’s a conference next Wednesday. Olivia and I are here to pick out some clothes for Daniel.”
Winona nodded and said, “Did you pick this tie? Daniel doesn’t like red. How about changing it to a blue one with thin stripes? It’s elegant and natural.”
As Winona spoke, she walked over to the tie section, took a blue tie, and handed it to the sales assistant beside her, saying, “Wrap it up.”
She did that with an attitude of familiarity and spontaneity.
After picking out the tie, she looked at the shirt and sighed. “In the past, Daniel always wore jackets and T–shirts,” she said. “He never wore shirts. I didn’t expect that after a few years, the once carefree young man would also sit in the office, dressed in a suit and a shirt. Life is full of surprises.”
At this point, Winona turned around and smiled apologetically at Olivia, saying, “Daniel and I are old friends. In the past, I helped him take care of his clothes. I got carried away with nostalgia and said too much. Ms. Taylor, you are so magnanimous. I’m sure you won’t mind, right?”
Winona’s voice was warm and gentle, yet it was filled with a sense of hostility.
Both in her words and between the lines, she revealed the unique relationship between herself and
Daniel.
Olivia could not be bothered to pay her any attention. She simply sat on the sofa, sipping coffee and perusing the new product catalog.
These were the new products that would only be available next month. One had to place an advance order to obtain them.
Harper sat beside Olivia. She craned her neck and said softly, “Olivia, you are not angry, huh?”
“Angry about what?” Olivia said as she raised her gaze.
Harper stretched out her little finger and discreetly pointed at Winona, who was picking out clothes in front of them. “She used to handle Daniel’s clothes, you know?” she said. “You are not jealous, huh?”
Olivia thought, “Jealous? Then, she suddenly smiled.
Her smile was magnanimous and calm, exuding confidence from the inside out. “Both the butler, Mr. Brown, and the housemaid, Zoe, have handled Daniel’s clothes,” she said. “Did I get upset with them?”
“They are just servants!” Harper thought.
Harper was momentarily taken aback.
Then, she heard Olivia continue, “Winona is a well–bred young lady, yet she wants to be mentioned in the same breath as a butler and a housemaid. There’s no reason to be upset with such a person.”
Harper understood a little, yet she was also a little puzzled.
Just as she was in a daze, she saw Olivia suddenly waving at Winona.
Winona walked over with a smug expression, thinking that she had managed to provoke Olivia.
“Ms. Taylor,” Winona said as she walked over, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly with a great sense of provocation.
Olivia glanced at the sales assistant beside her. That sales assistant was holding a few clothes that Winona had chosen.
Winona had good taste. The styles were all understated and elegant.
“Not bad,” Olivia praised as she nodded.
Seeing this, Winona was smug. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the next remark. “Ms. Manson, you enjoy helping people take care of their clothes,” Olivia said. “You must have graduated from a butler academy, right? That’s great. I’ll hire you for a day as well to pick out some clothes for me.” As Olivia spoke, she handed over a twenty–dollar bill and said, “This is the tip.”
Upon hearing this, Winona’s expression instantly changed.
She thought, “This Olivia actually treats me like a butler and a servant!”
Chapter 282
Winona’s expression contorted. Because she was too shocked and angry, she remained silent for a long
while.
Initially, the sales assistant standing beside her was secretly delighted. She thought, “The two young ladies compete for a guy. They will surely try to outdo one another, and perhaps buy a lot of things.
“I will then earn a lot of commission!
“Unexpectedly, Ms. Taylor, who is the guy’s current girlfriend, is that terrific. With just one remark, she managed to completely embarrass the guy’s ex, Ms. Manson.
“She even gave tips to servants and butlers!”
If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, the sales assistant really wanted to give Olivia a big thumbs up.
She thought, “Calm and composed, she just embarrassed her love rival. That’s truly impressive!”
Harper was also extremely nervous. She was really afraid that the two of them would fight.
She quickly stood up to defuse the situation, snatching the twenty–dollar bill from Olivia’s hand and smiling at Winona as she said, “Winona, don’t be mad. Don’t be mad. Olivia is just joking.”
“Joking!” Winona said. “Why can’t I tell that she’s joking?”
were like ice blades, gouging Olivia again and again. “Ms Vinona’s deep eyes were full of coldness. They
Taylor, don’t you think you have crossed the line? You used such a method to humiliate people. I’m not someone anyone can just come and bully!” “Bully?” Olivia said as she leaned against the back of the sofa and crossed her legs gently. There was a hint of elegance and arrogance in her casual and carefree demeanor. “Ms. Manson, you’ve misunderstood. How can this be considered bullying? I just noticed you enjoy taking care of people’s clothing, so I was giving you this opportunity.”
After saying that, she turned to Harper and said, “Harper, you heard it just now. Ms. Manson clearly said it herself.”
Harper felt really awkward, not knowing what to say at all.
Winona had never been humiliated like this before. Her face immediately turned ashen, and she glared at Olivia with a deep sense of resentment, saying, “You’ve gone too far!”
Olivia put away her previous indifference and her expression turned as cold as snow. Her tone was nonchalant, but it was arrogant and resolute. “So what if I bully you?” she said.
At this point, Olivia suddenly chuckled. She then continued, “I won’t beat around the bush. The truth is, simply don’t like you, and I’m bullying you. What are you going to do about it?”
“Ah…” A sense of hostility surged in Winona’s eyes. She had never experienced such humiliation in her life.
Throughout her life, she had always been someone who caused people to be filled with admiration. She had always been the one who bullied others, and no one had ever dared to bully her.
I
“Olivia, stay right here, and don’t go anywhere!!” Winona said. She threw away the tie in her hand and immediately took out her phone to make a call. The first thing she said was, “Is this Mr. Jefferson from the security team? I’m Winona!”
The attitude of the person on the other end of the line seemed to be very humble and submissive. It was unclear what was said, but it managed to slightly reduce the intense anger on Winona’s face.
She looked up at Olivia coldly and continued, “I’m at the Manson family’s mall on Relion Street. I want you to come immediately with a team of people. Someone is causing trouble here!”
Upon saying that and hanging up, Winona looked at Olivia smugly and said, “You dare to bully me, so you’ll have to face the consequences!”
Seeing this scene, Harper was almost scared to tears.
She thought, “What’s going on here? I was so cheerful when I left home, and now, in just a short while, it
has turned into a fight?”
The store manager and sales assistant at the side were also shocked. One after another, they retreated to the side. They absolutely did not dare to step forward and mediate.
The sales assistant was a young and beautiful girl. Although she looked nervous, she was very excited deep down…
She thought to herself, “Oh my goodness. What a spectacle! I actually stumble upon this!
“I must post about it!”
She quickly took out her phone and started posting on a well–known forum, using a pseudonym since she did not dare to use her real name.
She posted, [Shocking news! Do you all remember the recent buzz about the wealthy daddy getting engaged? I work at a famous luxury men’s clothing store, and today, I encountered the current partner and the old flame of the wealthy daddy. It’s a total battleground. Oh golly!]
As soon as the post was published, someone replied, [Wealthy daddy? Is it Mr. Sullivan, the richest man?] Big–faced cat posted, [The person above, be cautious to avoid getting banned. OP, please continue. I’m so darn excited. I really want to know how wealthy folks fight due to jealousy. I heard that rich people have particularly messy relationships.]
The sales assistant briefly explained what had happened earlier.
Immediately, a group of people replied.
Young Windchaser posted, [The fiancée is so sassy! She fired back on the spot.]
Wandering Dog posted, [Pfft… I’m dying of laughter. Servants and butlers. That fiancée is awesome. In novels and TV dramas, when the female lead encounters this kind of situation where her boyfriend’s ex–girlfriend comes to provoke her, she usually silently feels–hurt. At most, she will have a little quarrel with the male lead. I didn’t expect the fiancée to be that impressive!]
Strange Fruit posted, [Exactly, especially that line “I’m bullying you. What are you going to do about it?” So cool!]
Fruit Candy posted, [No cutting in line. No cutting in line. OP, please continue. What happened next?]
Garfield posted, [Yep. Yep. Yep. I’m very curious about what happened next. Did the two of them fight?]
Strong man posted, [Beautiful ladies fighting. That’s gotta be a sight to behold!]
Seeing these people’s replies, the sales assistant continued to post, [The old flame called a team of bodyguards over. There’s no movement from the current partner. I don’t know what she’s preparing.] Strong man posted, [Damn. A brawl! These rich and beautiful ladies are truly something else. I thought that my idea of resorting to fights was already quite violent, but one of them actually went ahead and rallied the troops!]
Strange Fruit posted, [It’s really an eye–opener. So this is how rich and beautiful ladies fight over men. They fight it out directly. Suddenly, all those angelic bitches and female supporting characters in TV dramas with their schemes and plots seem so weak!]
Miss Bubbles posted, [Yeah. It’s the rich and beautiful ladies who are the badass ones. They directly threw down!]
In the men’s clothing store, the store manager hesitated about stepping forward to mediate. However, given her status, she simply did not have the appropriate standing to do so. Moreover, the two sides had such a strong presence. She was afraid of hurting herself.
Harper also looked nervous. She first turned to Winona, saying, “Winona, stop making a scene. You’re not actually going to get physical, right?”
A hint of delight flashed across Winona’s eyes. She deliberately glanced at Olivia and said in a meaningful tone, “Whether or not I get physical depends on whether a certain someone is sensible. If she apologizes to me, maybe I’ll be in a good mood and let her off the hook.”
Upon hearing this, Harper hurriedly turned to Olivia and said pleadingly, “Olivia, be submissive. Wise
people know the situation that they are in, and they will temporarily avoid unfavorable circumstances to prevent losses or humiliation. This is Winona’s territory. Let’s be submissive.”
Olivia was still sipping coffee, looking laid–back. She turned her gaze and saw that Harper was so anxious that she was about to cry. Olivia raised her hand and stroked Harper’s head as she said in a comforting tone, “Don’t worry. I’ve brought some people with me.”
Upon hearing this, the tears that had been welling up in Harper’s eyes completely fell.
She thought, “You can’t be serious, right? You guys are really going to fight, huh?”
She raised her gaze and wiped her face, saying, “Olivia, you only brought two people. That’s not enough.” Harper had seen the two people that Olivia brought with her. “They are not tall at all, and they are lean,” Harper thought. “They do not look like bodyguards at all.
“Can these two people really fight?
“While the security guards in the mall may not be nimble, there are many of them.”
“Olivia!” Harper said, feeling very helpless.
There was nothing she could do now.
Seeing that Olivia was still sitting calmly on the sofa, Winona sneered and said, “Such stubbornness and not willing to give in until you face the consequences of your actions! Today, I will teach you a lesson and let you know what it means to act with excessive pride and not understand one’s own limitations! I’m not someone you can casually disrespect.”
As soon as Winona finished talking, Donald Jefferson arrived with a team of about a dozen security guards.
“Ms. Manson, where is the troublemaker you mentioned?” Donald asked.
Winona pointed at Olivia and said, “Teach her a lesson.”
When Donald arrived, Tyson and Peter followed him into the store and stood in front of Olivia.
Seeing these two skinny individuals who were as thin as bamboo poles, Winona could not help but chuckle.
She thought, “These two things actually dare to stand in front of her. This is so darn hilarious!”
Donald’s expression was also filled with mockery. Before he came, he had guessed that the other party had brought bodyguards, so he felt somewhat apprehensive.
He thought, “I didn’t expect that when we met, the bodyguards are actually two skinny monkeys!
“Damn funny!”
Donald was 6 feet and 3 inches tall. As he stood in front of Peter, Peter looked like a small mountain.
Donald said, “Hey, kid. Get out if you have some sense. Otherwise, I’m going to be rough!”
“What?” Peter said. “You want to beat me, huh?” A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he began to flex his wrist.
Tyson, who was beside him, held his shoulder and said softly, “Don’t be rash!”
Seeing this, Donald smiled and looked at Tyson, saying, “Kid, you have some sense. I’ll spare you for being sensible, as long as you…”
Before Donald finished talking, he was interrupted by Tyson, who leaned his left cheek over and said, “Come on. Hit here!”
“What the hell?” Donald thought. He was stunned. “Someone actually takes the initiative to come over and ask for a beating.”
Donald turned around and glanced at Winona.
Winona frowned and said in a displeased tone, “What are you waiting for?”
Donald felt a sudden anxiety. He quickly turned around and raised his hand to slap Tyson.
Tyson staggered and moved a few steps back.
Seeing this, Donald looked disdainful. “What a useless thing,” he said.
He went forward, wanting to kick Tyson. However, he saw Tyson take out a pistol from his waist. Tyson then pointed it at Donald’s head.
His tone was calm as he said, “I’m a police officer. Put your hands up. You will be arrested for assaulting a police officer!”
Smith family.
“Dad,” Winona said as she sat on the chair. The first thing she said when they met was about Olivia. “I heard that Olivia is the head of the Smith family. Do you know the Smith family? What’s their background?”
“Jonny Manson sat opposite her. He was looking at a painting. When he heard his daughter’s question, he did not even raise his head. His attitude was dismissive. ““The Smith family is not considered an aristocratic family, but they shouldn’t be underestimated either,” he said.”
Winona frowned and said, “What’s the deal with this family? Is the Smith family really a family with a long history and one that has been around for hundreds of years?”
Upon hearing this, Jonny finally raised his gaze from the painting and looked at Winona, saying, “The Smith family does have some history. Just like our family, the Smith family is also a vassal of the main family.”
“The Smith family is also a vassal!” Winona said. She was shocked, thinking, “How come I never knew about this in the past?”
Something crossed Winona’s mind. She frowned and said, “Dad, between the Smith family and our family, which one does the main family value more?”
“What do you think?” Jonny said as he raised his eyebrows and said proudly. “With modern medicine being so advanced, it dominates everything. There’s no longer a place for ancient medicine, and as a result, the Smith family has lost its rightful position.
“Otherwise, the Wilcox family and the Smithson family wouldn’t have given up on medicine so early and looked for other options. Only that old fellow, Isaac, is holding on to ancient medical practices.” At this point, Jonny paused for a moment before he continued, “Don’t even mention the present day. Even hundreds of years ago, the Smith family’s home was just a royal hospital, while our family played a crucial role in the main family’s wealth. The Smith family is not in a position to compare with us at all.” Speaking of wealth matters, Jonny frowned and asked Winona, “How are you getting along with Daniel? Weren’t you certain about the love you have for him? Why did you let him get engaged to the Smith family’s girl?”
While the Manson family had a history of several hundred years and substantial wealth, some of the
senior members within the family had been sticking to old traditions and were resistant to new things. As a result, they missed out on the opportunity for internet development.
Currently, the internet landscape in the country had already been established. There was hardly any opportunity to get involved in it.
Faced with no other option, the Manson family had to be opportunistic.
Since they could not directly claim a share of the internet boom, they took an indirect approach by making Daniel, who was the domestic internet giant, a part of the Manson family.
So, when Winona saw the news of Daniel’s engagement, she hurriedly returned to the country, hoping to salvage their relationship.
In recent years, the Manson family had been on a decline, and they urgently needed some fresh blood to counteract the family’s declining status.
Therefore, Winona was determined to win over Daniel.
Just a few days ago, even though Daniel was already engaged to Olivia, Winona was still full of confidence in her relationship with Daniel. She believed that Daniel had feelings for her and that his engagement to someone else was just a way of provoking her.
However, after facing Olivia today, Winona could not help but feel a bit heavy–hearted.
She thought to herself, “This woman is a bit of a handful.
“But it’s not very difficult to deal with her. It’s just a little troublesome.
“The Smith family is nothing more than a fallen family. The main family doesn’t care about them at all. According to Dad, in recent years, the Smith family has already been pushed out of the core of
power. They are clueless about many of the main family’s strategies and plans, and they have completely fallen to the bottom.
“The Wilcox family, which is located outside the country, does not care about the Smith family at all. They haven’t had any contact with the Smith family for decades.
“Most importantly, Isaac, who has the best medical skills among all members of the Smith family, has become a vegetable. He is in a coma. Olivia alone could not support the Smith family.”
At this point, a few hints of smugness flashed across Winona’s eyes.
She thought, “This Olivia that comes from a fallen family actually wants to fight against me. What an excessive display of pride and total ignorance of her own limitations!”
Winona was not afraid of dealing with Olivia, but when she thought of the two police officers she met today, she felt somewhat uncertain.
That was how the situation was in the country. Business owners naturally had a fear of politics. “Dad, Olivia is protected by two police officers,” Winona said. “Do you think there may be some influential figures backing her up?” Winona was very concerned about this.
“Impossible!” Jonny said. His expression was contemptuous. “Don’t worry about this. The Smith family doesn’t have any influential figures backing them up. It’s just because of their medical expertise and a slightly broader network.”
Upon hearing this, Winona was relieved. She could now act without any reservations.
Winona and Daniel had known each other for many years, so she had a reasonable level of knowledge about him. He despised underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
She thought, “Previously, I failed to scheme against Olivia at Fracha Club. This time around, Daniel must have sensed my intention, so I absolutely cannot act rashly again in the short term.
“If Daniel were to find out that I am secretly harming Olivia, even if he loves me deeply, he would never
be with me.
“Therefore, I’ve got to defeat Olivia openly without resorting to underhanded tactics.
“I am the heiress of the Manson family, and I have assets worth 2 billion dollars. How can Olivia, a
member of the insignificant Smith family, compare to me?
“I will make Olivia feel ashamed and let Daniel understand who is the one that is truly capable of helping
him.
“However, before that, I’ll have a small payback for Olivia.
“I’ll think of a way to make Sarah and Michael tell Daniel about what happened today.
“Daniel loves me deeply, and upon hearing about this, he will surely be extremely angry. He will get upset with Olivia and resent her.
“As long as there is a rift between the two of them, I’ll have a way to drive a wedge between them.” Thinking of this, Winona called Olivia.
Olivia was reading documents in the study when she received a call from Winona. She was a little surprised.
“You’re out so soon?” Olivia asked.
Winona choked with anger.
She thought to herself, “Can’t this bitch talk about something else? Why does she have to mention this and poke at my heart?”
Taking a deep breath, Winona said mockingly, “Olivia, don’t be smug. Wait until Daniel returns, and you’ll realize something.”
Olivia was baffled. She said, “Daniel is my fiancé. What I will realize is none of your business.”
“Humph,” Winona sneered. She then said, “You still don
was
know, huh? In the past, when I with Daniel, he cared about me the most. He couldn’t bear to see me feel aggrieved. Even if there was the tiniest bit of grievance, he would ensure that any injustice or wrong I suffered was corrected Today, you provoked me. I don’t need to do anything. Daniel will deal with you!”
Olivia was left speechless.
After a long while, she asked In puzzlement, “Ms. Manson, do you have a bit of a mental problem? You certainly have a mental problem!”
She thought, “I’ve never seen such a narcissistic person.”
Chapter 284
Winona was greatly angered by Olivia, so she immediately passed the message to Sarah.
Sarah was having dinner with Michael and the others. When she heard the news, she got angry right
away.
She thought to herself, “Olivia is really crossing the line!”
Sarah called Daniel and asked ferociously, “Daniel, do you know what Olivia did to Winona?”
Daniel was reading documents at the office.
Recently, the company had been going through a period of instability. There had been several new rules from higher–ups that restrict the development of the internet.
At first, Daniel did not take it seriously and thought it was the country taking action to regulate the internet.
In recent years, the rapid development of the internet had outpaced some policies, leading to a lot of
chaos.
One of the incidents was online “human flesh searches” that led to the loss of life a few years ago.
It wasn’t until a few days ago when the tax bureau checked the accounts of New City Network, claiming that someone had reported New City Network for tax evasion with their real names, that Daniel finally understood.
“It isn’t the country trying to regulate the internet,” he thought. “Rather, some influential figures from higher authorities want to bring me into compliance or control my actions.
“In Capital City, those several political families, whether it’s the Book family or the Swift family, the Sullivan family has connections with them, and our relationships are quite good. So, it’s unlikely that they are the ones behind this.
“So, who could it possibly be then?”
In the past two years, Capital City had been in the midst of leadership changes. Several prominent families were fiercely competing, creating a tense atmosphere.
The next leader was very likely to come from the Book family, as Ryan had had a good track record in recent years and accomplished many significant achievements. However, the Grant family was also not to be underestimated. It was said that the Grant family had a deep influence. They usually kept a low profile. At crucial moments, their methods were quite powerful.
The Manson family’s Prooco Group belonged to the Grant family.
Jeremy Watson, the deputy director of the Capitol Research Institute, also hailed from the Grant family. Although Daniel was focused on business, he could not ignore the news coming from the capital. He had been constantly arranging for people to inquire about it.
In the change of leadership this time, the Book family and the Grant family were evenly matched. Almost all the forces had expressed their stance, except Capitol Research Institute.
Although the deputy director of the research institute, Jeremy, was a member of the Grant family, the director was not. He had not declared his support for any family.
Therefore, the stance of the research institute was crucial. It would practically determine the victory or defeat of the Book family and the Grant family.
Both sides wanted to win the support of the research institute, but the director of the research institute never expressed his stance.
It was said that this director’s identity was very mysterious. He had not appeared in public all these years. Other than a few esteemed senior academicians of the research institute, no one had seen the director in person.
Even Jeremy, the deputy director, did not know who the director was and what he looked like.
Daniel had also made considerable effort to ask around, but unfortunately, he could not find out anything. All he knew was that this director was elusive and was not in Capital City all year round. Daniel did not know which family was targeting him, but the Grant family was the more likely one.
This was because the timing of the incident was too coincidental. Winona had just appeared, and New City Network then ran into trouble.
It was hard to keep Daniel from overthinking it.
He was contemplating the matter related to the Grant family when he received a call from Sarah, and she began by questioning him.
Daniel had a headache. He could not help but rub his forehead and ask patiently, “What happened?” Sarah quickly recounted the situation to Daniel. Then, she said, “How do you intend to deal with it? Winona has been really wronged. I heard she couldn’t even have dinner.”
Daniel frowned and his expression immediately turned cold. “What did you just say?” he said. “This is outrageous. Why did it escalate to this point?”
Upon hearing this, Sarah’s lips curled up. She was very satisfied with Daniel’s attitude.
She thought to herself, “Hmph, I know he still cares about Winona. Acting all nonchalant most of the time, but when Winona gets into trouble, his facade falls apart.”
“It’s all because of Olivia,” she said. “She’s really too audacious. She actually…”
Before Sarah finished talking, she was interrupted by Daniel with a frown. “You’ve got it wrong,” he said. “I wasn’t talking about Olivia. I meant Winona was the one who went too far!”
Daniel leaned back in his chair, his body reclining, and he rubbed his eyebrows.
He then enunciated each word as he said, “Out of respect for your grandmother, I’ve been tolerating you time and time again, but my patience is limited. Sarah, be cautious and consider the consequences of your behavior.”
Daniel’s voice was not loud, and it even sounded somewhat nonchalant. However, every word carried a chilling undertone, leaving Sarah pale.
Her face was pale. She still wanted to question Daniel, but Michael snatched her phone away and hung up the call. Then, he growled, “Enough. Have you satisfied your urge to cause trouble?”
“How can you call this causing trouble?” Sarah roared. “What’s going on with Daniel? He’s just standing by and letting Winona get bullied. Doesn’t he care about their past at all?”
“That’s enough!” Michael said impatiently. “Can you stop meddling where you shouldn’t? Whoever Daniel fancies is his business, not yours. Please remember your place. You’re just a friend of Daniel.”
Sarah stomped her feet in anger, but she eventually calmed down.
However, she was still a little indignant. She muttered to herself, saying, “I just feel sorry for Winona. She put in so much effort to help Daniel, who used to be lazy and not focused on anything. She tried everything to get him on the right path, but Daniel just didn’t care and continued to drift through life. “It wasn’t until Winona left in disappointment that Daniel suddenly came to his senses. He reclaimed the Sullivan family and established such a large family business.
“This is all Winona’s merit. She painstakingly accompanied a man to grow up, tolerated all his bad habits, and urged him to progress. After so much effort, she nurtured a fragile sapling into a towering tree. What right does Olivia have to pluck the fruit?
“What right does she have?”
This time, Michael did not say anything.
He was not as extreme as Sarah, but deep down, he also leaned toward supporting Winona.
This was because back in those days, Winona really had it tough.
She was the beloved daughter of Prooco Group and the only daughter of the Manson family. Jonny would never allow her to marry Daniel, who was incompetent, lazy, and could not even inherit the family
business.
In order to be with Daniel, Winona really did a lot of things.
Not only did she accompany Daniel in his growth and urge him to improve, but she also contributed a lot. She invested money, effort, and resources. She had also persuaded the Manson family to invest in Daniel, all with the hope that Jonny would see Daniel’s progress and agree to their relationship.
It was because Daniel disappointed her so much that she eventually gave up and left.
However, all these words were of no use now. Matters of the heart did not follow reason, and timing was everything.
After six or seven years had passed, everything had already changed beyond recognition.
Michael patted Sarah’s shoulder and said, “Since it was Winona who let go and left in the first place back then, she can’t expect Daniel to stay in the same place and wait for her.”
i didn’t let go. She didn’t leave on her own.
“You don’t know anything!” Sarah sniffled and shouted. “Winona didn’t let It was Jonny who forcibly took her away.”
Sarah still remembered the despair on Winona’s face to this day.
Back then, Winona crouched on the floor and covered her face. Her tears had dried up as she repeatedly
said, “What should I do? What should I do? Dad said if I don’t go overseas, he’ll get someone to break Daniel’s legs.”

Chapter 285
It was time to perform acupuncture therapy on Amelia again.
The acupuncture therapy session today would be the last one. After it was performed. Amelia’s body would be fine.
Olivia had everything ready. Then, she received a call from the Sullivan family’s old residence.
It was a call from Andrew.
Andrew was picked up by Isabella last week. She said she missed her grandson.
“Olivia, Andrew said. He was almost six years old and was much more sensible.
He had grown taller. He was no longer round and chubby. He had also started to show the early signs of a young boy’s strength and vigor. His voice had lost its childish quality. Instead, it had a more mature quality, reflecting the concerns that typically came with the transition from childhood to adolescence. “Can you pick me up today?” he said. “I want to go home.”
“Sure,” Olivia said as she put down silver needles and sat on the chair. She asked gently, “I’ll come to pick you up right away, but Andrew, can you tell me the reason? Did someone bully you?”
In the past, Andrew was always alone when he came to the old residence. There was a driver to pick him up. There was no need for Daniel or Olivia to come and pick him up.
It was really strange that he suddenly asked Olivia to pick him up today.
The little one panted for a while, and for once, he was silent. After a while, he shook his little head and denied it, saying, “No. I just missed you.”
“Alright,” Olivia said. “Wait there obediently. I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, Olivia asked Blake to contact William and informed him that she would not be going today. She would go to perform acupuncture therapy on Amelia in two days.
Olivia drove to the Sullivan family’s old residence.
Before the engagement, Olivia had never thought about stepmother or stepson issues. Although Andrew was not her biological child, she loved this little boy very much. She did not consider anything else.
Blake had mentioned it a few times, asking her to think about the issue of her interaction with Andrew.
She asked Olivia to consider whether to leave Andrew at the old residence and let Isabella raise him or to bring him up herself.
At that time, Olivia did not think too much about it. She had always considered Andrew as her own child, so, of course, she wanted to raise him herself.
Blake sighed and put in effort to give her heartfelt advice, saying, “Right now, Andrew is still young. He relies on you and adores you. But when he gradually grows up and becomes sensible, realizing that you’re not his biological mother, will he still love you completely?”
Olivia did not want to hear these words.
For some reason, she could not stand a single word of criticism, blame, or even the slightest hint of disapproval toward Andrew, even if it came from someone like Blake, who genuinely cared for her. When Blake mentioned concern about the possible future estrangement between Olivia and Andrew, Olivia could not bear it, and her heart ached faintly.
She thought to herself, “Andrew is my child. We won’t grow apart.”
The servants at the old residence already knew Olivia. When they saw Olivia’s car, they immediately let her in. The butler also welcomed her at the gate.
“Ms. Taylor,” Mr. Brown said. His attitude was very respectful. In comparison to his previous attitude toward Olivia, his attitude had become more intimate.
After all, Olivia was already engaged to Daniel. She would be the future lady of the Sullivan family. She was a part of the Sullivan family now, so he could no longer treat her like a guest.

Olivia listened to Mr. Brown’s report as she walked inside. “Mrs. Sullivan is taking her nap upstairs,” he said. “Mr. Andrew is playing on the fourth floor. Do you need someone to bring Mr. Andrew down?”
“It’s okay,” Olivia said as she shook her head. “I’ll go over and see him.” After changing her shoes, Olivia took the elevator to the fourth floor.
Isabella doted on her grandson. The entire fourth floor was Andrew’s territory. There was a game room, a theater, an art studio, a piano room, and even a room filled with sand. A children’s excavator was placed there for Andrew to enjoy playing with the sand.
The butler did not accompany Olivia upstairs. She went to the fourth floor by herself.
The fourth floor was very quiet. There were only two servants mopping the floor in the hallway, Olivia followed the sound and walked to the art studio.
The door of the art studio was partially open, and the little boy’s soft voice could be heard coming from inside. “I should use blue,” he said, “Olivia said I should use bright and clear blue as the color for the sky.” Upon hearing this, Olivia pursed her lips and smiled. Just as she was about to knock on the door and enter, she heard another little boy’s voice. “Olivia?” that boy said. “Hahaha. Andrew, are you stupid? She’s your stepmother, and you actually listen to her?”
Andrew’s face turned a little pale, but one could still sense his courage and determination. “Olivia is very kind to me,” he said. “She dotes on me a lot.”
The little boy sneered. He was very good at mocking people. “That’s a lie,” he said. “Previously, she wasn’t engaged to your dad, so, of course, she had to please you to make your dad feel at ease. Now that she’s already engaged to your dad, you’re useless to her. She’ll definitely neglect you.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Andrew said. He finally became worked up, and he threw the paintbrush he was holding onto the floor.
“Why has she ignored you for so long then?” the little boy said, believing that his reasons were very solid and convincing. “You’ve been here for a week. Did she come to pick you up?
“Andrew, you’re just naive. Just wait and see. She’s ignoring you now. After some time, when she has her own baby, she’ll definitely chase you away. Your dad won’t care about you either. Once he has another child, he’ll completely forget you. A motherless child like you will become a fatherless child, and you will…”
Before the young boy finished talking, the door was suddenly opened.
As soon as Andrew turned around, he saw Olivia at the door.
Seeing someone close to him, the grievance that Andrew had been suppressing for a long time suddenly surged like a mountain torrent, and it was uncontrollable once it surged.
He instinctively rushed forward but came to a sudden stop when he reached Olivia.
He thought of what Oscar Sullivan had said. Oscar had mentioned, “Olivia doesn’t like you at all. She only treats you well because she wants to be with your dad.”
For a moment, Andrew hesitated. He raised his eyes and observed Olivia timidly.
He was worried that she would hate him.
Seeing Andrew’s timid, worried, and bewildered expression, Olivia’s heart felt like it was breaking.
With almost no hesitation, Olivia bent down and picked up Andrew. Without even glancing at the young boy behind Andrew, she turned around and left.
She could not argue with a child, yet she found it difficult not to feel angry.
Feeling the gentleness of Andrew in her arms, Olivia felt as if a cold wind had blown into her heart. It was so painful that her heart trembled.
The little one was too quiet, not daring to move at all.
In the past, when she held him, he would be ecstatic, hugging her neck affectionately. But this time, he did not dare to reach out, just staying still and obediently letting her hold him.

Olivia felt a deep sense of heartache, and amidst her sorrow, she could not help but feel regret. During this period, due to the Taylor family’s matters, she had neglected Andrew. She did not even realize how significant it was for a five or six–year–old boy when his father was engaged and there was a stepmother in the family.
Not only did she not pay attention to his emotions, but she also did not accompany him for a long time. She did not even call to check on him during the week he had spent at the old mansion.
She thought to herself: “If Amelia does not meet the minimum requirements to be considered a good mother, what about me then? Do I meet the minimum requirements?”
Thinking of this, Olivia experienced a sense of inner breakdown.
After studying medicine for so many years, she was well aware of the power of genetics. Whether she was willing to admit it or not, she was the daughter of Samuel and Amelia.
She thought to herself, “My parents did not treat me well, would I, who has their blood running through my veins, be a better parent than them?”
Olivia shuddered and suddenly felt a little afraid.
“Olivia, are you cold?” Andrew said. He noticed Olivia trembling and quickly stretched out a pair of little arms to hug Olivia’s neck. “I’ll warm you up so that you won’t be cold.”
He gently pressed his cheek against Olivia’s and continued to comfort her, saying, “Olivia, don’t worry. I don’t believe what Oscar said. He’s jealous of me. So, Olivia, don’t be sad.”
The corners of Olivia’s eyes were a little wet. She turned her head slightly, not wanting to let her tears fall. Andrew was still chattering. “Daddy told me that you have been very busy recently,” he said. “He said you are busy with your mom’s matters and that your mom is sick. You are very worried, so you do not have time for me.
“I understand it all. A mother is very important. She is more important than anything else.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia suddenly wanted to cry. She suddenly thought of a saying. That saying was “Children love their parents more than one can imagine.”
“I’m sorry,” Olivia said as she touched Andrew’s forehead. “I’ve neglected you recently, and I won’t do that again in the future.”
She thought to herself, “I won’t do it again.”

Chapter 286
Olivia saw a strange man sitting on the sofa when she carried Andrew downstairs.
Before Olivia could ask, Andrew got rid of Olivia’s arms and pounced on the man, yelling, “Granduncle!” Olivia was shocked and thought, “Granduncle?
“The man before me looks to be in his early thirties. I can’t believe he is Andrew’s granduncle!”
The man had a kind and empathetic nature and approachable demeanor, which made people feel comfortable and like him.
For instance, he held Andrew up and put Andrew on his lap. He did not wrap his arm around Andrew’s waist because he was afraid that Andrew would get hot. However, he lit his arm in the air behind Andrew’s back to protect Andrew in case Andrew fell.
The butler, Brown, noticed that and came over to introduce, “This is Brad Sullivan, Andrew’s granduncle, second hand of the Sullivan family.”
Olivia did not know much about the Sullivan family. She only roughly heard of the family members. Daniel was the only son in the family and had a young uncle, Brad Sullivan, who was only seven years older than Daniel.
Brad left the country when Daniel assumed control of the Sullivan family, and he spent six years living abroad, never returning home during that time.
Butler Brown explained, “Mr. Brad rushed back home after he heard that Mr. Daniel was getting engaged.”
Olivia was clearer about the situation after hearing Brown’s explanation. She nodded at Brad and addressed him respectfully and distantly, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Brad.”
Brad smiled when he heard Olivia call him “Mr. Brad.” He replied gently, “Ms. Taylor, you are more outstanding than I imagined.”
Olivia replied politely, “Mr. Brad, I’m flattered to hear that.”
After Olivia said that, her gaze fixed on Andrew.
Sensing Olivia’s gaze, Brad pinched Andrew’s nose and put him down, saying gently, “Go to Ms. Taylor.”
Brad was considerate and knew what Olivia’s plan was. He said, “Ms. Taylor, if my guessing is correct, you should be here to bring Andrew home. I think you’re good to go. There is no need to wait here. Isabella usually takes naps in the afternoon and won’t wake up unless she has slept for two hours. So, Ms. Taylor, just bring Andrew home.”
As Brad said, Olivia had a lot of things to do and did not want to spend her time waiting.
Olivia thought, “It doesn’t feel well if I take Andrew home without seeing Isabella. After all, she is my future mother-in–law.”
She became hesitated when thinking of that.
Brad could tell what Olivia was thinking. Thus, he said, “It’s okay. I will send your warm greeting to Isabella when she wakes up. Ms. Taylor, I know you’re busy, and I seriously suggest you go.”
Then, Olivia agreed readily, “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Brad. See you soon.” Bulter Brown had already packed Andrew’s things and walked Olivia and Andrew out.
After they left, Brad was the only one left in the room.
Brad’s gentle smile instantly disappeared. He murmured coldly, “Humph. Rumors claim that Olivia Taylor is the head of the Smith family. I thought she was supposed to be something. Now I know she is just a lady without a brain.
“She left after I suggested. She knows nothing about how to connect with people and lacks the ability of critical thinking.
“Can such a woman lead the Smith family?”

Oscar Sullivan ran over from upstairs and leaned against Brad’s knee, calling his father timidly. “Dad” Brad raised his hand and stroked his son’s hair, asking Oscar gently. “Have you told Andrew everything I asked you to say?”
Oscar nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“That’s good.” Brad touched his son’s face and added, “Go upstairs and play.”
Brad thought, “I have been away and prepared for six years. It is time to take back everything that once belonged to me.
“I could break Daniel’s legs and control his life seven years ago. I still get the moves seven years later. I’m going to throw Daniel to the lowest point in his life.
“I’m back to take back my power and control the Sullivan family. I’m also going to destroy the career that Daniel painstakingly built. I will take away Daniel’s wife and child!
“Daniel has never won a fight with me ever since we were young. I made a mistake six years ago. However, I’m fully prepared now. I must take everything back.”
After Oscar left, Hannah Thompson, a humble maid, approached Brad and whispered, “Mr. Brad, I’ve completed all the tasks you assigned to me, but…”
Hannah was a little worried and continued, “I wrote something like Mr. Andrew did. However, will Mr. Daniel buy that?”
Brad smiled and looked at the maid gently, replying, “Who said it would show to Daniel?”
Hannah was still in a daze. However, Brad waved his hand and indicated for Hannah to leave.
Brad thought, “Those notes saying that Andrew doesn’t like Olivia are never for Daniel. I’m going to show them to Isabella.
“Isabella will feel her heartache for her grandson when she reads those notes and won’t allow Olivia to stay with Andrew. Then, Isabella will keep Andrew at her residence.
“This way, Daniel’s son will be under my control.”
Amelia woke up early in the morning and sat in the living room, waiting for Olivia to come over.
Yvonne accompanied Amy downstairs and saw Amelia sitting in the living room.
Yvonne had always been docile and sensible before the Taylor family. Therefore, when she saw Amelia, she greeted sweetly, “Good morning, Amelia.”
Amelia was so focused on the door that she did not hear what Yvonne said. She perfunctorily nodded in
response.
Amy felt annoyed when she noticed Amelia ignored Yvonne. Amy coughed lightly and looked at Amelia disapprovingly, saying, “Amelia, what kind of attitude is that? Yvonne is greeting you.
Amelia did not want to fight with Amy. Instead, Amelia paid all her attention to the door.
Amy got more annoyed when she saw Amelia’s cold look.
Yvonne held Amy’s arm and sat down. Then, she explained gently, “Amelia must be waiting for Olivia.”
Amy frowned and asked, “Olivia?”
Amy felt a little guilty towards Olivia because she chose Yvonne. However, she had a very bad impression of Olivia now.
Amy murmured to herself, “I know Yvonne is going to hate me for doing this, but I plan to leave some money for Olivia.
“Olivia has never seen big money in her life and thus is not competent to guard her money. I will get her in trouble if I give her too much money. So, I’m thinking of buying a house for Olivia at Evervale and giving her hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.
“Yvonne is a good girl. She is kind and sensible. It is just that she can’t accept Olivia for the time being.
“I will ask Yvonne to take over my business not long after. Then, Yvonne won’t worry about my being

biased.
“Then, I can ask Yvonne to take care of Olivia and Olivia’s children. Yvonne will Olivia’s children to get internships at my company, and Olivia will have nothing to worry about.”
Amy felt that she had already done everything she could for Olivia.
Amy continued her thought, “However, I didn’t expect Olivia to be so cold and vicious. She almost destroyed the Taylor family. Then, she claimed that she was not related to the Taylor family. She didn’t come to visit Amelia when Amelia was sick.
“I don’t understand why Amelia misses that heartless, cold–hearted girl?”
Amy regretted that she had doted on Olivia before.
William entered at this moment.
Seeing William, Amelia got excited. She grabbed William’s sleeve and asked, “Where’s Olivia? Has Olivia arrived?”
“Mom.” William sat beside Amelia. Then, he continued, “Olivia has something on and won’t be coming today.”
“She’s not coming!” Amelia cried and fell on the sofa as if all her energy was gone.

Chapter 287
Seeing Amelia like this, Yvonne was a little surprised.
Yvonne wondered, ‘Doesn’t Amelia always dislike Olivia and favor Emma? Why does it seem like she
cares about Olivia now?
“Could it be because Olivia cured Amelia’s disease?”
Yvonne gave up figuring out why after a while because she did not care what Amelia was thinking,
The reason why Yvonne came back this time was to see if Olivia’s medical skills were as superb as she had imagined.
Yvonne gave up on Gillian after confirming that Gillian’s prescriptions were all incomplete. However, Yvonne did not give up the Smith family.
Gillian’s prescriptions were all incomplete, but that did not mean that the Smith family’s prescriptions were the same.
Yvonne believed that the Smith family must have some secret ancient prescription.
Olivia now was the head of the Smith family. That family, which was different from the Taylor family and the Green family, thrived relying on its medical technology. No one could take charge of the Smith family without any knowledge of medicine.
Therefore, Yvonne wanted to know how good Olivia’s medical skills were.
Yvonne was a complete opportunist. As long as it was profitable, she wanted to fight for it.
She was like a wild beast, following wherever there was the smell of blood.
Yvonne thought, “If Olivia’s medical skills are good, it means that she can support the Smith family. In that case, I need to design a strategy to take Olivia down.
“However, fighting head–on is not a good idea.”
Yvonne was always profit–oriented. She did not mind befriending Olivia since Olivia could be taken advantage of.
With that in mind, Yvonne returned to her room and called her assistant, Diana Fox. “How is it? Have you found out anything?”
Diana frowned and answered, “The Capitol Research Institute is demanding. Its assessment is difficult and only selects candidates from the top ten universities in the country. The requirements for knowledge, achievements, and age are very high.”
That was not something that Yvonne wanted to know. Thus, she interrupted Diana, “I’m not asking for admission. I just want a chance to take the test. Why is that difficult?”
Diana fell silent.
Yvonne got impatient and said, “I can donate the building to that institute.”
Yvonne murmured to herself, “Giving a building worth over 20 million dollars to that research should be enough to win a chance to take the assessment. I don’t think they will reject me.”
“You can donate the building, but…” Diana hesitated to finish her words.
Yvonne got annoyed and said, “If you have something to say, say it.”
Diana said, “There’s a waitlist.”
Yvonne was confused and asked, “What do you mean?”
Diana explained, “If you want to donate a building to the Capitol Research Institute, you’ll have to get on their waitlist. Right now, there are 347 people ahead of you who also want to donate buildings. The reason for the waitlist is that the Institute doesn’t have enough space for all the donated buildings.”
Yvonne was shocked and cried, “What the hell is that?”
Yvonne had never heard in her life that people queued up to donate a building.

She thought, “Countless university research institutes in Mala called me and begged me, the rich and kind Miss Yvonne, to donate a building.
“Why does everything become so difficult when it comes to the Capital Research Institute?
Sensing Yvonne’s emotions, Diana was afraid that she would get agitated. Thus, Diana quickly came up with another plan. “You can donate money. Many projects in the research institute need funding. You can get an opportunity to take the assessment of the four major divisions.”
The Capital Research Institute had five divisions, which were the Northeast Division, the South Division, the East Division, the Southwest Division, and a secret division. No one knew where the mysterious division was located. They only knew that the division had more requirements for its candidates.
“So I only get a chance to take the assessment of the four divisions even though I give them decent money?” Yvonne sounded annoyed.
Diana nodded and replied, “That chance is more precious than you thought. It is never easy to get into the Capitol Research Institute. Even the top families in Capital City can’t get their people in. Everyone has to go through the process.”
Diana did not know much about the Capitol Research Institute. She only knew that the research institute. was full of reputation. It was top–notch domestically and overseas due to its world–shaking research
results.
After doing some research, Diana realized how powerful the Capitol Research Institute was.
A new director was assigned to the Capitol Research Institute five years ago. She led the research institute to produce several results that could change the world, making the Capitol Research Institute a holy land of scientific research that the world yearned for.
A few years ago, some countries with malicious intentions wanted to use some key technology to restrict the development of the Hushe Republic.
The new director set up a series of measures to completely change the Capitol Research Institute’s system and make it independent. That move resulted in the rise of the institute.
The institute attracted a large number of talents and developed its medical technology. The Capital Research Institute became famous in the world after that.
The top families could send anyone they wanted to the institute five years ago. However, things were different now.
The new director rarely showed up in public and remained mysterious. However, due to her renowned reputation, none of the top families dared to fight her head–on. Instead, those families spent a lot of effort to please the director.
“This is too troublesome.” Yvonne held her forehead and ordered, “Then donate some money first. Donate it to the Evervale division. I want a spot in the Evervale division.”
Yvonne murmured to herself, “A spot in the Capital Research Institute’s assessment and a division’s assessment is different. The latter is less appealing.
“But it’s still good.”
Isabella woke up from her afternoon nap in the Sullivan family’s house. Then, she was told that her beloved grandson, Andrew, had left the house.
Isabella instantly became angry with a straight face.
Uncle Shen made her happy. Only then did Mrs. Sullivan look better. Everyone could sense her mood was awful.
Brad was only seven years older than Daniel. Brad’s mother passed away early, and thus, Isabella took the responsibility of bringing up Brad. Therefore, Isabella viewed Brad as her son.
Isabella kept her birth control because she needed to raise Brad with all her love. She gave birth to Daniel when she was 30 years old.
It was obvious how much Isabella cared about Brad.

Hence, as soon as Brad comforted her, Isabella smiled and felt much better.
“Oscar, come here.” Isabella carried Oscar.
Isabella liked children more than before as she grew older.
After playing around for a while, Oscar went upstairs and wanted to go to Andrew’s room to get the toys. “This kid doesn’t stop for a moment.” Isabella put Oscar down and said, “Go get it.”
Brad sat on the sofa opposite Isabella. When he saw this, he looked up and said calmly, “Isabella, maybe we should go up and take a look too. Andrew is a small kid. I’m afraid he has left something behind.” Isabella did not want to move. However, she was full of energy when she thought of her grandson. Isabella smiled and said, “Alright, let’s go take a look. If we find something, we can ask Andrew to come back and get it.”
Brad lowered his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed across them.
Andrew’s room was on the third floor. It was a small suite that included a bedroom, study, and bathroom. When Isabella came over, a servant had already opened the door for her.
Isabella first went to the bedroom to take a look. The entire room was blue. ‘Helmets, comic heroes, and other decorations that boys liked were placed in the room.
Isabella was pleased to see the room was clean and tidy. She turned around and said to Brad, “Andrew is a small kid, but he’s very organized. Look. He arranges this room himself.”
Isabella’s words were filled with pride.
Isabella raised Brad and Daniel, but she considered Andrew to be the smartest kid she had ever seen. After staying in the bedroom for a while, Oscar got impatient and ran to the study to get his toys. Isabella followed Oscar and glanced at the desk. When she saw a workbook on it, she immediately panicked. “Did Andrew forget something?”
Brad’s tone was calm, but it was strangely bewitching. “Well. Isabella, there is only one way to find out. Take a look at it. Maybe it’s a new one.”
Isabella picked up the workbook and turned a page.
Brad lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.
“False alarm. It’s a new one.” Isabella heaved a sigh of relief and put down the workbook.
Brad cried inside, “What? How is that possible?”
Brad’s lips twitched, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Brad could not help but take the workbook and flip through it from beginning to end. Brad shouted inside, “As Isabella said, it is empty. There is not a single word!
“How could this be?
“No way. I have arranged everything!” Brad looked dumbfounded.

Chapter 288
After everyone left, a thin maid returned to her room, where she frowned upon seeing the workbook filled with hatred for Olivia.
She called Olivia immediately. “Miss Taylor?”
Olivia was with Andrew. When she received the call, she came out of Andrew’s room and went to the study.
Olivia said plainly, “It’s me. Speak.”
Natalie Hopper, the maid, furrowed her brow and said, “You told me to go to Andrew’s room and make sure everything was okay. At first, I was puzzled because I thought no one in the old residence would harm Mr. Andrew. But you won’t believe what I discovered. Their target is not Andrew, but you!”
It had been a while since Natalie found the workbook. However, she was still furious at the mention of the workbook.
Natalie thought, “Miss Taylor appointed me to work in the old residence some time ago to protect Mr. Andrew. During these days, I didn’t cause anyone’s attention or approach Mr. Andrew. Instead, I only did my cleaning job.
“I did my job so well that Mr. Brown quite liked me.”
“Miss Taylor, you won’t believe this.” Natalie’s voice was filled with hatred. “The workbook is filled with words like ‘hate you.”
Olivia sat on the sofa, holding the phone in her right hand. She put her left hand on her forehead and did not speak for a long time.
The afternoon sunlight shone in through the window and landed on Olivia’s face, accentuating her red lips, white teeth, and exquisite jawline.
Olivia half closed her eyes, long eyelashes covering her eyes nd concealing her thoughts..
After a short pause, Olivia said, “Try to swap the workbook with a blank one, and then let me know what happens next.”
Natalie nodded and followed the order. Later, she reported, “Oscar said he needed to get his toys back from Andrew’s room. Then, Brad suggested Mrs. Sullivan follow Oscar to Andrew’s room. To his surprise, Brad didn’t find the workbook he had prepared.
“He flipped through the workbook from beginning to end and seemed shocked.”
After saying that, Natalie became curious and asked, “Miss Taylor, how did you know that there’s something wrong with Brad?”
Brad had spent more than a week in the old residence. He had a gentle personality, spoke slowly and softly, and appeared quite easy to get along with.
Even Natalie liked Brad, the returned member of the Sullivan family.
Olivia massaged her temples when she heard Natalie’s question.
In fact, Olivia did not know that there was something wrong with Brad.
After all, Olivia was not a prophet and could not know everything. It was because Brad displayed his malicious intentions too clearly.
Olivia explained plainly, “Two things are suspicious and strange. Firstly, Oscar tried to brainwash Andrew that I, as Andrew’s stepmother, was mean and evil. Secondly, Daniel had no idea that Brad had returned.”
Olivia finished explaining, but Natalie was still confused.
Natalie wondered, “What are they? Why are they strange? Why didn’t I sensel it?”
Natalie could not understand it after thinking for a while. Thus, she asked, “Miss Taylor, why is it strange that Oscar brainwashed Andrew that stepmothers were evil? Children know nothing, and it’s normal to hear them say nonsense.”

Olivia blinked and was surprised. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. Olivia continued. “Isn’t that strange enough? Oscar grew up overseas and didn’t watch the movies like the kids did in our country, I don’t think Oscar knows how to demonize stepmothers by himself. Moreover, Oscar has returned to the country for about a week. He probably doesn’t even recognize everyone. I bet he doesn’t know me. Then why would a little boy who doesn’t understand things always emphasize stepmothers are evil?
“Also, I’ve checked everything with Brown. Brad has been back for a week. However, as soon as he arrived at the old residence, Andrew was picked up there. This is illogical. Why did Brad secretly bring Andrew over instead of informing Daniel when he came back?”
Olivia did not know what Brad was up to, nor did she care about it. However, she would never allow Brad to hurt Andrew.
Thus, Olivia’s eyes instantly turned sharp, and her tone was low and cold. “I asked you to go to room Andrew just in case. I didn’t expect Brad to have evil intentions.”
Natalie became nervous and asked, “Miss Taylor, do you need me to do anything?”
Olivia lowered her eyes and replied, “You don’t have to do anything. Just stay in the old residence.” After hanging up the phone, Olivia sat in the study for a moment.
Olivia realized she needed two assistants because things kept coming up these days. She wanted a life assistant and a work assistant.
Olivia had no choice but to hide her identity in the past. However, things were different now since she became stronger.
She could gradually appear in front of everyone.
Thinking of this, Olivia picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The old academicians from different departments at the Capital Research Institute were arguing, slapping the table, and kicking the stools.
Their faces were red, and they were about to fight.
They were all old academicians in their sixties or seventies, outstanding talents in various fields. However, they disregarded their reputation and almost attacked each other.
Rebecca could not bear to watch this scene.
Just as Rebecca was letting her imagination run wild, a special ringtone arose.
Rebecca was shocked. The academicians stopped the fight and turned to look at Rebecca.
They stared at Rebecca like wolves.
Rebecca was so nervous that she broke out a cold sweat.
“Is it the director?” The old academician from the Economics Department asked in a trembling voice. Rebecca nodded in response.
Seeing this, the academicians from all departments were instantly excited and rushed toward Rebecca. Rebecca made a prompt decision. She pushed open the door of the conference room and ran out. Fortunately, she was young and had long legs. Those old academicians could not outrun her.
Rebecca heaved a sigh of relief when she returned to the office.
She took a sip of water and quickly called back. “Hi, Director Olivia. This is Rebecca.”
Rebecca was keeping her emotions in check, but her tone clearly showed she was excited.
Rebecca continued, “I’m so happy to receive your call. You have no idea how crazy those people from all departments become!”
Olivia was about to drink a cup of coffee when she heard Rebeccas’s words. Thus, Olivia asked casually, “What are they arguing about?”
“Did you forget that?” Rebecca sounded like she was about to cry. “The two–year period is up. You’re going

to another department for a rotation.”
Olivia remembered everything until then.
Olivia murmured inside. “It’s been two years? Time flies.”
Olivia should be in charge of Capitol Research Institute for five years. She designed a series of policies in the first year. She went to the Information Technology Department in the second year and launched the Nimbus Gaze plan. Two years later, she rotated to the Life Sciences and Medicine Department and discovered a neurodrug. Because of Olivia, the institute took leaps in its medical development and received countless achievements.
Now that the two–year period was up, Olivia had to rotate to a new department.
Olivia had almost forgotten about it if Rebecca had not mentioned it.
Olivia should have transferred to another department. However, she realized she was too busy to focus on research work these days.
Doing research required ample time and concentration.
Olivia was intelligent and far beyond ordinary people, but she could not be an exception. She was required for time and concentration for the research projects like others.
”
However, Olivia could not stay peaceful for research because the Smith and Sullivan family brought her too many problems. She did not have much time for research.
Hence, Olivia said, “I can’t do it this year. I won’t rotate this year. We’ll talk about it next year.”
Rebecca was dumbfounded and cried, “What?”
Rebecca thought, “It’s hard to believe. The old academicians from the various departments are arguing and fighting each other in the conference room. However, Director Olivia says she won’t rotate this year.
“What am I supposed to do? How do I deliver this news to those academicians?”

Chapter 289
As the chief secretary of the secretariat, Rebecca was very efficient.
Rebecca selected two assistants in less than a day.
Elena Wayne was appointed as the life assistant. She was a chubby girl with a round face and a lively personality.
Cecilia Swan got the position as the work assistant. She was a little older, 42 years old, with a serious and old–fashioned personality. However, she was cautious about everything. Thus, Rebecca expected Cecilia to be an outstanding assistant.
Cecilia had a study in the Sullivan family’s house, while Elena followed Olivia at all times.
Daniel did not ask about the two new people at his house when he returned home. He trusted Olivia very much and never asked Olivia too many questions. Basically, Olivia could do whatever she wanted. Olivia told Daniel about Brad.
Daniel was leaning toward Olivia, relaxed and comfortable.
He was hooking Olivia’s little finger.
However, when Daniel heard Brad’s name, his body suddenly stiffened, and a bone–chilling coldness flashed across his eyes.
Daniel cried inside, “How dare Brad to come back!”
Daniel had mixed feelings for Brad.
It could be roughly divided into two stages. The first stage was before Brad attacked Daniel and destroyed Daniel’s legs.
Daniel liked Brad a lot when Daniel was young because Brad was handsome and gentle. Moreover, Brad was generous about his time playing with Daniel and held Daniel’s hand when Brad took Daniel somewhere else. However, as Daniel grew older, his feelings for Brad became complicated.
Daniel’s parents and nanny were strict with him when he was a kid. They worried about Daniel’s teeth, so they strictly controlled the amount of candies and did not allow Daniel to eat too much of them.
However, Brad always secretly gave Daniel a lot of candies and even helped him hide them from his parents and nanny.
Brad also helped Daniel do his homework and taught him how to play video games. If anyone bullied Daniel, Brad fought back until he hit the bulliers to the ground.
Brad always praised Daniel even if Daniel only received a tiny progress.
If Daniel didn’t do well on a test and got a low grade, Brad would often blame the teacher for making the questions too hard and doubt the teacher’s ability to do their job well.
In Brad’s eyes, Daniel did not do anything wrong, and it was others‘ fault under any circumstance.
Daniel grew to the age of 12 like that.
When Daniel graduated from primary school, he had a mouthful of bad teeth. Besides, he was thin like a telephone pole because he was picky about food. He was also shorter than his peers.
Not only that, Daniel was arrogant and complacent.
Daniel was proud of himself even though he received the worst grades. He acted like he was the king of the world. He scolded the teacher and hit his classmates. No one liked him.
Daniel’s parents were extremely disappointed in him. They felt that Daniel was so naughty that he would not achieve anything great.
Thus, Daniel’s parents focused on cultivating Brad.
Sadly, no one realized how smart Daniel was. Daniel did whatever Brad taught him to because he was just a kid back then.

Later, Daniel went to a boarding junior high school, and changes happened.

Daniel read a lot during school and realized not all praises contained good meanings. He would continue to like Brad if he did not read those books.
He compared the cases with himself. Then he put down the book and became silent.
Daniel did not believe that Brad was trying to hurt him by spoiling him. However, Daniel restrained his behavior after reading those books.
Daniel began to eat well, exercise regularly, and study hard.
Within a year, Daniel grew one inch and behaved like a small gentleman.
He won third place in the final exam, and the teacher kept praising him for his quick and amazing improvement.
Mrs. Sullivan was overjoyed to hear that and promised that she would take Daniel to the beach. Daniel was excited to receive his mother’s praise. He searched the internet and gathered lots of information about the travel destination. He even wrote a thousand words about the travel plan. Daniel designed everything on the trip, including the food on the road, the program they would participate in, and the souvenirs.
It was Daniel’s first time traveling alone with his mother. Thus, Daniel was happy and nervous and wanted to do everything to be perfect.
However, on the day they set off, Brad sprained his ankle, and Daniel’s mother had to take care of Brad. What followed up with that incident was that the travel was canceled.
Daniel was 13 years old and was not as cultured as he was now. He could not control his temper and immediately flew into a rage when he heard the travel plan was canceled. Then, he kicked the suitcase
over.
Daniel did not understand and thought, “Brad is already 20 years old, and he just sprained his ankle. Why would he need my mom to take care of him?
“Even if he needs someone to take care of him, why does he ask my mom to go over? We have servants in the house.
“Why did Brad have to ruin my meticulously prepared and long–awaited travel plan?”
Unfortunately, no one understood Daniel’s anger.
Daniel’s parents, on the other hand, considered Daniel cold–blooded and heartless. They could not understand why Daniel still wanted to travel when one of his family members was injured.
They thought Daniel was an ingrate.
Similar events happened again and again. Then, Daniel gave up trying because he realized that he was a good–for–nothing kid in the eyes of his parents, no matter what he did.
At that time, Daniel thought all the negative adjectives in the world could be used on him.
No matter what he did, he could not compare to Brad. Even Daniel’s father told Daniel that he would hand over the Sullivan family’s business to Brad.
On the contrary, Daniel could only be a piece of trash who received the family business’s dividends.
Daniel thought at that time. “Well. What is the point of working hard then? I can just abandon my ambition and play the days.”
From then on, Daniel became more and more rebellious. He did not do anything every day except for parties.
Surprising, Daniel even became closer to Brad.
Although Daniel’s parents didn’t like him for being lazy, they didn’t say much. They complained about it at most. Then, the family atmosphere became harmonious.
Daniel felt that this was quite good because his family was peaceful, and Brad would take over the Sullivan family’s business. Daniel could have time and freedom to develop his technology company and

imagined his life as a technology geek.
Unfortunately, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Brad poisoned Daniel and broke Daniel’s legs. After torturing Daniel, Brad threw Daniel off the cliff. Daniel’s life would have been finished at that point if he had not met Olivia by accident.
Daniel did not understand why Brad treated him like that since he was no longer a threat to Brad. Daniel figured it out later.
It was because of Winona Manson.
Winona always hoped that Daniel would take over the Sullivan family’s business. She supported Daniel openly and covertly. Daniel explicitly refused that, but Brad did not know about it.
In Brad’s opinion, Daniel, who received help from the Manson family, was a huge threat. Thus, Brad decided to get rid of Daniel as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with Daniel when he grew stronger.
Brad poisoned his nephew just because he suspected Daniel and Winona were going to team up. Daniel was disheartened the moment he fell off the cliff. He wished he could die immediately.
He did not know what the point of living in this world was.
His father and mother did not love him, and his uncle tried to kill him. What was worse, Daniel could not feel his legs.
Daniel could not walk and had poison in his body that kept hurting him. He suffered every moment.
Daniel wanted death more than a life like that.
However, when Daniel landed at the bottom of the cliff and closed his eyes, quietly waiting for death, a girl as bright as the sunshine walked toward him. She opened her beautiful eyes and sized Daniel up seriously, murmuring, “What a beautiful man. From now on, you’re mine.”
She cured Daniel’s legs, cleared the remaining poison from his body, and saved his life.
She gave him a new life.

Chapter 290
Daniel’s eyes were full of warmth and shined like starlight when he thought of Olivia.
Olivia protected Daniel at the bottom of the cliff seven years ago.
It was his turn to protect her now.
It was inconvenient for Daniel to get involved in the Taylor family’s matter. Also, he knew Olivia always had her ideas. Daniel would not interfere rashly before Olivia figured out how to deal with the Taylor family because he respected Olivia.
However, if anything else happened to Olivia, Daniel would stand in front of Olivia and take the bullet for her without hesitation.
Daniel trusted Olivia so much that he was willing to tell Olivia everything about his history, even though the memory about Brad was the last thing Daniel wanted to recall.
“Brad is…” Daniel leaned against the sofa and lowered his bone–chilling eyes. He continued, “Brad is selfish, cold–blooded, and always wears a hypocritical mask. He can hurt anyone for benefits without bearing guilt.”
When Daniel returned from the cliff, he completely suppressed Brad and took back the Sullivan family’s business.
Then, Daniel planned to send Brad to prison. After all, Brad tried to poison and kill Daniel.
Sadly, Daniel failed to collect any conclusive evidence.
Brad was cautious and did not leave any traces behind about his plan of poisoning Daniel. It was almost flawless.
Daniel could not prove Brad’s crime merely based on his testimony.
After all, Daniel stood there, safe and sound. Besides, there was no residual poison in his body, and his hamstrings were not broken.
A man who fell off a cliff with broken legs after being poisoned met a miracle doctor who saved his life. It sounded like a fantasy. The police and court would not believe such a testimony that was similar to a fantasy novel.
Thus, Daniel could not accuse Brad of murder. The good news was that Daniel could have other charges against Brad.
When Brad was in charge of the Sullivan family’s business, he did a lot of evil things to make money. These charges were enough to put Brad in jail.
When Daniel collected all the evidence and was about to hand it over to the police, Mrs. Sullivan fell ill and threatened Daniel with her life, asking Daniel to let Brad off.
Isabella considered Daniel and Brad’s fight to be the common competition for the family business. It was a typical fight in wealthy families. Thus, she did not take it as a big deal.
Daniel gave in to his mother, who was pale out of illness.
Then, Daniel sent Brad overseas and let the past become past.
Daniel knew Isabella secretly gave Brad money and shares, but he pretended not to be aware of that. Daniel tried to let go of the past.
However, when Daniel gave up, he stopped talking to Isabella, and their mother–son relationship turned icy.
Daniel returned to the old residence because of Andrew. Daniel was worried about leaving Andrew to the
servants.
Isabella doted on his grandson, Andrew, from the bottom of her heart. She tried to give all the love she owed her son to her grandson.

Thanks to Andrew, the mother son relationship between Daniel and fabella gradually eased. Olivia leaned on Daniel’s shoulder and listened to him quietly.

No matter how Daniel emphasized how vicious Brad was, Olivia remained calm. When she heard about the poisoning, she sat straight immediately.
Olivia frowned and asked, “You’ve been poisoned before?” She grabbed Daniel’s right hand and tried to feel his pulse.
Daniel cried inside, “She cares about me so much!”
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat, and faint joy spread from the bottom of his heart.
“Don’t worry.” Daniel grabbed Olivia’s hand when she was checking his pulse. He explained gently, The poison has long been cleared. A miracle doctor came across me and saved me.”“
Daniel’s voice became lower and lower when he was speaking that.
Olivia was relieved after she heard Daniel’s explanation. She nodded and replied, “Oh, that is great.”
Then, she retracted her right hand and let go of Daniel. She continued to lean against the sofa. Olivia’s coldness annoyed Daniel.
Daniel thought, “I know Olivia is relieved and calm because she realizes I’m okay. But I think she is too calm.”
Daniel felt upset.
“Actually…” Daniel suddenly said, “Actually, I still have some lingering poison inside my body.”
Olivia’s body stiffened when she heard that. Panic flashed across her eyes. She put her hand back on Daniel’s to check his pulse.
Olivia found it strange after she checked Daniel’s pulse.
Olivia thought, “Daniel’s pulse is strong and vigorous. That won’t happen if Daniel has residual poison in his body.”
Olivia looked up at Daniel with her beautiful eyes.
Daniel knew his lie was exposed, but he was not nervous. He was a quick–witted person and was good at making up things.
Daniel said, “Olivia, it’s okay that you didn’t notice it. The miracle doctor pushed all the residual poison into one of my body parts. You won’t be able to find it by measuring my pulse. You have to touch that body part with your hand.”
Olivia blinked and confirmed, “Touching that body part?”
“Yes.” Daniel nodded and said in all seriousness, “I’m not feeling well.”
Daniel’s expression suddenly became serious. He continued, “The miracle doctor told me the remaining poison wouldn’t hurt me when I was healthy. However, when my immunity went down, the remaining poison could spread to every part of my body.”
Olivia frowned when she heard that.
She murmured inside, “I’ve never heard of such a medical theory. It sounds like something made up by Daniel.”
However, it was not the time for Olivia to figure out whether the medical theory was true. All her attention was on Daniel.
She was very worried that the residual poison would spread.
Olivia acted faster than she thought. Before Olivia could figure out how to deal with the remaining poison, she reached out her hand and touched Daniel’s body.
Olivia touched Daniel’s chest and asked, “Where is it?” She felt it flat and firm and considered that part healthy.
Daniel lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Well. You need to go down.”

Olivia moved her hand and touched Daniele wait.
Daniel instructed, ‘Go a little farther down.
Olivia was stunned for a moment. She talked to herself, “If I go farther, I will touch his…”
Before Olivia could finish her thought, Daniel grabbed Olivia’s hand and guided it to the destination. Daniel asked, “Do you feel it now?”
Olivia’s palm was hot, and so was her face.
“Olivia.” Daniel suddenly leaned over and pressed down on Olivia.
Olivia felt something warm on her lips. It was Daniel kissing her.
The air conditioner in the room was on, but Olivia felt as if she was being roasted by a ball of fire. The fire in her body made her dizzy. She felt her brain blank. She tried to take deep breaths and let the fresh air dissipate the heat in her body.
Olivia was surrounded by the smell of Daniel. Then, Daniel domineeringly pounded Olivia.
Olivia tried to push Daniel away. However, Daniel did not give Olivia a chance to refuse. Daniel, who was always gentle, sensitive, and obedient before Olivia, finally displayed his domineering nature on the sofa. Daniel did not allow Olivia to reject him or to be distracted. He focused on doing what he wanted again and again from daybreak to night, as if fatigue was never his enemy.
