Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 54

Olivia did not stay at the hotel for long. She went back that night because she received a call from William.

As for William, Olivia was still a little close to him.

She leaned against the bed and answered the call. “William.” She greeted him respectfully.

Hearing this, William heaved a sigh of relief.

He was a qualified heir. He prioritized the Taylor family’s benefits and bloodline. William was good to Olivia. Of course, it was because they had known each other since they were young and grew up together, but it was mostly because she was the child of the Taylor family.

For a family like the Taylors, they could tolerate illegitimate children, but they could not have a higher status than legitimate children, let alone children who were incompatible.

This was the root of the trouble.

Therefore, William was indifferent to Emma and ruthless to David.

However, this did not mean that he had deep feelings for Olivia.

Even so, Olivia was still very moved.

She had always been a kind person who would repay anyone who treated her well.

“I heard from Liam that you want to return the shares to the Taylor family, right?” William leaned against the window and asked. Behind him was the dazzling starlight of downtown, and in front of him was his spacious and bright office.

This was the Taylor Group office building, located in the center of Evervale, a 50–story office building.

There were countless people in Evervale who had been fighting to enter this building to work for a long time, but Olivia still wanted to return the Taylor Group’s shares. It seemed so easy.

She probably didn’t know how much the Taylor family shares were worth, which was a big amount.

Olivia had almost forgotten about this matter. When she heard William mention it, she replied, “Yes, just in time. I haven’t received the share–out bonus yet. I can just return them directly.”

William changed his hand to answer the phone. “Olivia,” he asked, “did Yvonne make you unhappy? She’s going back to Mala soon. Their businesses are all overseas. She won’t be back for long.”

Olivia’s tone was calm. “No.”

Wasn’t it because of Yvonne?

William was a little surprised. “Then why?”

“William.” Olivia’s tone was unhurried. “I’ve never seen Yvonne before, nor do I know her. Why would I be angry because of a stranger? Even if the Taylor family hates me because of anyone and won’t let me into the house, I won’t be angry because this person…”

She paused for a moment. Her tone was still indifferent, but it made William’s heart turn cold. “Because whoever it is has nothing to do with me. What I care about is you. Any insignificant person, you want me to avoid, why?

“Is there no better solution to Yvonne’s matter? Grandpa, Dad, Mom…and you, watching others bully me! Who is Yvonne? She’s a girl Amy casually adopted outside. Is such a person qualified for me to avoid? Am I worse than an outsider adopted by my aunt in Liam’s eyes? Am I not worth your consideration for me?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“In the Taylor family, any servant can bully me because, in your eyes, I’m worthless.

“I’ve been raised outside since I was young. I’m not close to the Taylor family. Liam, Dad, Mom, Amy, and you, you won’t do much for me. I am worthless to you. The only outstanding thing is that I went to a good university and I’m quite smart.

“Because I’m not worth it and have no value, you can ignore me. You can summon me whenever you want. Yvonne doesn’t like me and wants me to avoid her. She committed suicide and made the Taylor family think that I was troublesome and that it was also my fault.

“It’s all my fault. As long as I did anything wrong and made the Taylor family feel that it was troublesome, it’s all my fault. I deserve to die. I shouldn’t have appeared…”

“Olivia!” William frowned and interrupted her. “You’re thinking too much.”

“Is that so?” Olivia turned to look out the window. The resort hotel was located in the suburbs. There were not as many lights outside the window as in the city. There were only a few street lamps that were not bright. However, such a dark night made her heart calm down.

There were some things that Olivia did not want to say so bluntly, but if she did not make it clear, there would always be people pretending to be ignorant.

“This time, Amy’s going back to Mala is partly because of me, right?” Olivia chuckled. “It’s because I won the Lasker Award. Because I’m valuable now, I deserve your and Liam’s consideration. Amy needs to take care of me and not bully me recklessly.”

“Olivia, I’m sorry. We’ve disappointed you.” William did not explain or refute. Instead, he chose to apologize.

His voice was still as friendly as the first time they met. It was gentle and pleasant, but the words he said were extremely cold. “But this is a wealthy family. This is the Taylor family. A worthless person is not worth the effort of others. The servants are hired by the master of the Taylor family. They are not hired by you. The family members‘ attitude towards you determines the servants‘ attitude toward you.

“You’re right. Amy’s departure may indeed have something to do with you. Because you won the Lasker Award, Liam wants to please you.” Speaking of this, William suddenly chuckled as if he was talking to himself. “Very philistine, right?”

Olivia did not expect him to admit it directly and was a little surprised. “Silly girl.” William’s tone became a little doting. “Don’t expect too much, and so that you won’t be too disappointed. Isn’t it good to be simple and polite? As long as your value is high enough, even if Yvonne commits. suicide many times, she will still avoid you.”

“So this is the Taylor family.” Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly. She felt that this was actually not bad. If she removed her feelings and exchanged them for benefits, she would not be too sad to accept.

“Let’s go home,” William said. “Liam has a plan for your marriage, but I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Olivia understood what he meant. “You have a better choice for me, right?”

“Ethan,” William said. “He already knows Emma’s identity as an illegitimate daughter and has a grudge against her. They will definitely not get married anymore.”

“So, you want me to replace her, right?” Olivia’s eyes turned cold.

“No,” William explained, “it’s not that I want you to replace her, but Ethan is really suitable for you to be a good husband. He’s very outstanding. Among his peers, other than Daniel, he’s the only one who perfectly matches you. Moreover, sometimes, love might not be more reliable than benefits.”

Daniel?

Olivia pinched her fingers.

She lowered her eyes and seemed to have thought of something. She agreed and said, “Alright, you can make the arrangements.”

“Alright.” William pursed his lips and chuckled. “Come back tomorrow to see Liam. No matter what, he still cares about you. Don’t be angry with him. After all, Amy is his daughter. A daughter is always more important than a granddaughter. Moreover, Olivia, the missing 18 years of feelings can’t be made up for overnight.

“Even for you, the Smith family is more important than the Taylor family in your heart, right?”

The Smith family?

Thinking of Isaac… Olivia frowned. Her heart suddenly shrank, and her chest felt sore and swollen.
