Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Olivia did not care about being framed. She believed that she had numerous ways to prove herself if she wanted to, even to the extent of pointing out the logical flaws in their accusations. She was confident in her ability to unravel their allegations.
However, what amused her was that the members of the Taylor family weren’t interested in knowing the truth. They only wanted Olivia to take the blame and admit guilt.
In their minds, they had already sentenced her to death, making her struggle futile.
Regarding the text message, it couldn’t possibly prove her connection to the criminal. She could easily contact the mobile carrier to retrieve call records and duration. If she were truly involved with the culprit, there would be more than just one text message to establish a pattern of communication.
The initial steps of finding the individual, and arranging his entry into the hotel all of that required communication.
With decades of experience and wisdom, Liam should’ve detected the oddities of the situation. As long as he got someone to investigate slightly, he would be able to discover the truth.
Yet, he hadn’t investigated. He had chosen to follow Emma’s accusation and believe Olivia’s guilt without taking the time to properly investigate the matter.
At that moment, Olivia realized it clearly.
Liam was ready to abandon her.
Perhaps it was because she still had some hope in her heart, so she wanted to ask him personally if he was going to harm her.
Even William, the one who had shown her warmth in the Taylor family, had also given up on her.
Actually, at that time, Olivia was very confused. She didn’t understand why.
Why did they do this to her?
Had she done anything outrageous? No, she hadn’t done anything that warranted such a harsh reaction from them.
10:13)
Olivia couldn’t comprehend their actions, nor did she want to waste her energy trying to figure them out.
Relationships were a matter of destiny, and maybe she wasn’t meant to be a part of the Taylor family. If that was the case, she would cut ties completely and move on.
Emma had become consumed by madness. Olivia glanced at her and calmly said, “If I wanted to leave, I would have already. None of those people could stop me.”
While she might not be as physically strong as those men, Olivia had numerous strategies at her disposal. She had various drugs and devices with her, and she could easily send a distress signal to receive assistance from others.
She had chosen to surrender since she considered their kindness in giving birth to her.
Olivia’s thoughts were straightforward and open, but Emma couldn’t understand.
Emma’s mind was convoluted, like a twisting stream, making it difficult for her to understand the vast expanse of others‘ hearts.
In Emma’s eyes, Olivia had orchestrated these events. She had the means to defend herself, yet she deliberately concealed them. She wanted to take on a pose of innocence to deal a fatal blow at the last moment.
Emma was convinced that Olivia intended to expose her illegitimate identity publicly after enduring all the humiliation.
In this way, the more ruthless Amelia was to her, the more regretful she would be in the end. Then, Amelia would take her anger out on Emma.
Emma recalled the time when Amelia had embraced her in the room, claiming to be her only daughter. She realized that Amelia could flip her emotions in an instant, from affection to resentment, from support to condemnation. This thought sent shivers down her spine.
No, she couldn’t allow that to happen.
Emma forced herself to calm down and fixed her gaze on Olivia. “Do you know why Liam isn’t on your side? Do you know why I would frame you so easily?”
Olivia responded, “Because of Yvonne.”
Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Emma’s reaction was like that of a startled lamb. She trembled and raised her eyes in shock. “How do you know?”
10.33)
Olivia raised an eyebrow slightly. “Is it that difficult to guess?” It was merely a straightforward deduction.
She wasn’t incapable of unraveling convoluted schemes like these, but she simply couldn’t be bothered to waste her effort.
She preferred straightforwardness and open–mindedness. There was no wrong with striving openly for what one liked. But why would people engage in hidden machinations behind other’s backs?
Only those with weak capabilities and inferiority complexes resorted to such schemes, hiding in the shadows, and employing manipulation and cunning.
For instance, Yvonne had resorted to such lowly tactics, as demonstrated by her suicide attempt.
Hearing the disdain in Olivia’s tone for Yvonne and comparing it to her fear of Yvonne, Emma felt uncomfortable. She felt that she was inferior to Olivia.
Emma’s tone carried a note of scorn as she said, “Don’t be too arrogant. Yvonne had to rely on a suicide attempt to gain pity during her last visit to the Taylor family. By exploiting Amy’s compassion, she managed to drive you away. But now, her status in the Taylor family is stable. She doesn’t need to say a word while the Taylor family will automatically keep you away from her.”
“Tell me, what has she offered the Taylor family?” Olivia hit the nail on the head.
She had seen through the facade of the Taylor family members. If Yvonne didn’t have something substantial to offer, Liam and William wouldn’t have so readily abandoned her.
After all, Olivia had even won the Lasker Award.
Olivia’s intelligence and insight made Emma uncomfortable. She had always looked down on Olivia, considering her a bumpkin.
But every time they clashed, Emma always ended up losing.
Olivia’s casual demeanor and reasoning effortlessly dismantled her arguments. If it hadn’t been for Yvonne’s assistance, Emma wouldn’t have been able to compete against Olivia.
This woman was unbelievably sharp.
Emma composed herself and continued, “Do you know about the renowned doctor Isaac?”
3.5
10:33
Olivia raised an eyebrow.
Emma assumed that Olivia didn’t know and felt triumphant. “Of course not. You’re just a bookworm. You probably don’t even know about Isaac. Let me tell you, in today’s society, it’s not just about excelling academically and winning awards. Networking and resources are more valuable than mere academic achievements.”
Seeing Olivia’s furrowed brow, Emma became more and more proud as she spoke. “Isaac is the most formidable physician today, with miraculous medical skills. Countless dignitaries are eager to have him treat their illnesses. However, he’s protected by the state as he is a top–notch doctor. People like you, ordinary citizens, probably haven’t even heard of him.”
Just as she was speaking, Lynn suddenly knocked on the door and entered. She announced that they were going to move Olivia to the basement to accommodate Yvonne’s stay on the second floor. They wanted to remove the annoying person to avoid affecting Yvonne’s stay.
“See?” Emma pointed at Lynn and then turned to Olivia. There was a smug expression on her face. “Without a doubt, between you and Yvonne, Liam has chosen Yvonne. While you’re busy with your
academic achievements, having no value to the Taylor family, Yvonne managed to bring the renowned doctor to treat Liam’s leg.”
Olivia had been calm and quiet throughout Emma and Lynn’s
conversation. She finally looked up when Emma mentioned “treating Liam’s leg“.
“Is the renowned doctor you’re talking about named Isaac Smith from Layfield City?”
Emma was stunned, her eyes wide, disbelief evident in her gaze as she stared at Olivia. Her tone became wary. “How do you know?”
It was true.
Olivia had previously suspected that she might have misheard. However, hearing Emma confirm it, she couldn’t control her emotions any longer. and burst into laughter,
“Interesting, truly interesting!” Olivia’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she looked at Emma. She asked a question with a sly smile.
“Didn’t you investigate my background?”
It was so funny. How could there be such a funny thing in this world? Olivia was laughing so hard that she was crying. She wiped the corners of her eyes and calmed herself down. Then, she stared at Emma.
Emma frowned. “Why are you staring at me like that?”
Lynn chimed in from the side with a sarcastic tone. “Olivia seems to have been provoked. While Yvonne is able to invite Isaac for Liam, Olivia only knows how to irritate him.”
With a mix of irony, she continued, “While other people contribute to the family, there are still some people with bad intentions. Not only do they fail to help the family but they also harm others. Comparing you to Yvonne, it’s like comparing heaven and earth. Even though Yvonne isn’t officially from the Taylor family, she managed to bring Isaac. She’s wholeheartedly considering the Taylor family’s interests. After Isaac heals Liam’s leg, her position will be even more secure.”
Listening to Lynn’s bizarre words, Olivia’s face remained calm, showing no signs of anger. She remained as calm as a still pond. She simply lifted her eyes slightly and retorted. “Heal his leg?”
Lynn’s eyes were filled with disdain. She pointed at the locust and scolded, “People are really different. Some people come back to the Taylor family and only think about gaining shares for themselves, being selfish, and harming others. But some people return to the Taylor family with pure intentions, genuinely wishing to help Liam receive medical treatment. After Isaac heals Liam’s leg, Liam might come over and personally break the legs of his disobedient grandchildren!”
Olivia paid no attention to Lynn’s mockery. Her expression remained cold and clear, exuding an inherent nobility and elegance. She didn’t need to speak; a mere glance was enough to suppress Lynn’s arrogance.
“So, you’re saying that Isaac can personally heal Liam’s leg?” Olivia asked.
Lynn rolled her eyes. “He’s a divine physician. It’s obvious he can heal him!”
Olivia chuckled lightly, lightly swaying her fingers before calmly
speaking. “How about we make a bet? I bet that the divine physician won’t be able to heal his leg.”
“Why are you so vicious?” Lynn’s expression was ferocious. “No matter
10:33
what, Liam is still your elder. If you curse others, you’ll be punished by the heavens.”
“Can’t I tell you the truth?” Olivia asked innocently.
When she had first arrived at the Taylor family, she had seen Liam’s leg, which was already in a state of decay. There was almost no hope of recovery from such an illness. Even Olivia herself only had a 60% of confidence.
Moreover, back then, she didn’t have the Ice Needle with her and the effects of other silver needles were significantly inferior. That was why she hadn’t said anything at the time.
Isaac’s medical skills were indeed excellent, but they fell slightly short compared to Olivia’s, especially when it came to the usage of the Ice Needle. Liam could only achieve 30% effectiveness with it, while Olivia could reach 90%.
Emma wasn’t sure why Olivia was so confident in saying that Isaac wouldn’t be able to heal Liam’s leg, but she didn’t care much about it. Her main goal was to redirect Olivia’s attention to Yvonne. Now that she had achieved that, she felt somewhat relieved.
She asked Lynn to leave, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Emma asked, “Are you going to expose my true identity?”
Olivia looked coldly at Emma and answered, “If I wanted to reveal everything, I would have done it already.”
Hearing that Olivia had no intention of exposing her, Emma breathed a sigh of relief. However, she did not fully trust Emma and decided to issue a veiled threat. “I hope you understand that even if everything is revealed, I will still be considered a daughter of the Taylor family. If anything, you would have done me a favor by helping prove my identity. But as for Amelia, things might not go well for her.”
Amelia had been emotionally stable for the past few years and hadn’t suffered any episodes. However, nobody could predict how she would react when facing the truth.
Her beloved adopted daughter turning out to be her husband’s illegitimate child was a truth that anyone would find hard to accept.
“Your threats don’t work on me,” Olivia replied, her tone indifferent. “I no longer care about her. Whether she’s crazy or foolish, it’s none of my
concern.”
10:33
Emma’s heart tightened. She was about to say something in response. But Olivia’s voice turned cold again. “However, as a doctor, my ethics prevent me from provoking a mentally unstable patient.”
“As a doctor?” Emma was puzzled and was about to ask for an explanation, but Olivia had already ordered her to leave.
“Leave now.” And with that, the conversation ended.
Emma was unwilling to leave, but Olivia’s attitude was truly cold and her presence was strong. She did not dare to stay any longer and could only turn around and leave.
After returning to her room, Emma still felt uneasy.
She did not believe what Olivia said at all.
Today, Olivia spoke with such confidence that she wouldn’t expose the truth, putting on a virtuous act. But when tomorrow came and the Taylor family took back the shares, Olivia would become a complete pauper.
She wanted to see if Olivia would regret her decisions.
At that time, Emma was sure Olivia would cry, beg, and even kneel down to beg for mercy. She would do anything to avoid being cut off from the Taylor family.
After all, those were shares of the Taylor family, even if it was only 3%. The annual dividends amounted to hundreds of millions. And that was just the dividends. If it was sold, it could be worth over a few billions. This was money that many people could not earn even if they worked hard for their entire lives.
In addition to the Taylor family’s shares, Amelia still had 3% of the shares from the Green family. The Green family was a super wealthy family not inferior to the Taylor family.
Even if Olivia won a Nobel Prize, she wouldn’t be able to earn that much
money.
After thinking for a while, Emma tried to find Susan’s phone number to gather some information from her.
“Hello, Miss Emma. How can I help you?” Susan was polite, unaware of Olivia’s current situation.
Emma’s tone was condescending as she got straight to the point. “You’re connected to the Charm, right? Do you know how many shares Olivia has in the Charm?”
10:33
Susan did not want to reveal anything about Olivia, but share ownership wasn’t exactly a private matter since it could usually be found online. So she replied, “35%.”
“So much!” Emma was shocked. Wasn’t she just developing some new technology? Why was it worth so many shares? She had thought Olivia only had a small number of shares, maybe just a few percent.
She hadn’t expected Olivia to have 35%.
Though the Charm was a newly established company, it was backed by the international Olle Group, making it financially strong. Its development was impressive in the past few years, with reported revenues breaking one billion dollars.
However, for a newly established business, it wasn’t guaranteed that there would be dividends in the first few years. Even though Olivia held such a large number of shares, it didn’t necessarily mean she would receive any money.
Emma let out a sigh of relief and probed as if she was joking. “So many shares! If she’s so wealthy, why does she live so frugally?”
At this point, she chuckled and said in a mocking tone, “She can’t afford to buy current season fashion, but she can definitely get last season’s on sale. I’ve heard the discounts are huge. I mean, even if she can’t buy luxury brands, she could at least get some good quality lesser–known brands. Instead, she always wears cheap and simple clothes, some of which don’t even have labels. That’s just being too stingy.”
Emma really couldn’t help but look down on Olivia. Even if she couldn’t afford luxury brands, there were other options. It seemed like Olivia was being overly frugal, wearing simple and cheap clothes, some of which didn’t even have labels.
It was so embarrassing.
After hearing this, Susan remained silent for a long time.
Then, stammering, she said, “Miss Emma, are you misunderstanding something? Olivia’s clothes are all custom–made. There’s only one of each design in the world.”
Emma was stunned.
Yvonne’s expression was like a venomous snake hiding in the grass, making one shudder.
However, Olivia did not seem to hear her. His expression was calm and indifferent. It was as if she did not take her words to heart.
She ignored Yvonne and just packed her things naturally until Yvonne couldn’t help but stand in front of her
To be honest, Olivia’s performance was a little unexpected.
Ordinary people would be angry when they heard someone threatening them, even if they didn’t care, and they would retort.
However, Olivia did not show any emotion at all. She did not care at all. Yyonne was extremely surprised and asked her, “Why aren’t you reacting
at all?”
Olivia lifted her eyelids. Her beautiful round eyes emitted wisps of cold light. “How do you want me to react?”
She asked back.
Yvonne frowned. “Aren’t you angry? Aren’t you furious? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll really attack you?”
Hearing this, Olivia finally smiled. She was carrying a cloth bag and wearing ordinary casual clothes, but she had a strong aura just by standing there.
She lowered her head and smiled as if she had just heard something ridiculous “Last month.”
She siz
to speak slowly. Her voice was like a cello, low and pleasant, with a steady certainty.
“I accidentally bumped into a three–year–old child. He was the same. He stood before me with his hands on his hips as he said ruthlessly, ‘Hey, just wait. I won’t let you off. If you dare to bump into me again, I won’t be polite to you.‘ After that, he even pulled out a plastic gun and pretended to shoot me.”
With that, Olivia looked at Yvonne leisurely and mockingly. She said softly, “Ms. Yvonne, I didn’t expect you, almost 30, to be as childish as a three–year–old boy. Do you think I’m afraid of you just because you said a few words? You think too highly of yourself!”
As she spoke, Olivia slowly approached Yvonne. She tilted her head and slowly rubbed her wrist.
Yvonne was stunned by the coldness in Olivia’s eyes. Her face turned pale, and she couldn’t help but tremble. “What… what are you doing?” “Nothing” Olivia imitated Yvonne and put on an innocent expression. Didn’t you say before that there’s no conflict between us? I only approached you to let you understand me better. Didn’t you say that you wanted to deal with me? Didn’t you want me to wish I was dead? I’ll let you know me and let you know how much you have to do to deal with
me.”
As she said that, Olivia quickly extended her right hand.
Before Yvonne could react, she heard a crack in her arms.
They were actually out of shape!
Her two arms were completely deformed and bent unnaturally.
Seeing this, Yvonne’s expression changed drastically. Cold sweat dripped. down her face, and her entire body went limp.
She had always been hiding behind everyone like a venomous snake, spying on others. She had never confronted her opponents like this.
Such an obvious and bold threat instantly made Yvonne’s legs go weak and her entire body tremble.
She thought that Olivia was a rabbit and she was a fox. She did not expect. Olivia to be a white wolf disguised as a rabbit!
Yvonne trembled non–stop. She subconsciously shrank her body and looked at Olivia nervously. “What… what are you doing? Don’t mess around. It’s illegal to kill someone.”
“Kill some “You th
Huh… Olivia chuckled and looked at Yvonne proudly. highly of yourself. To me, you’re nothing. You’re worse than an am. I find it troublesome to trample you to death. If you hadn’t insisted on coming to me time and time again, I wouldn’t even know who
you are!”
She raised her hand and grabbed Yvonne’s chin. Her tone was cold.
“There’s a limit to my patience. I’ll give you a warning this time. If there’s a next time…”
Olivia smiled slightly and returned Yvonne’s words. “I’ll also make you wish you were dead!”
With that, she patted Yvonne’s arm twice, turned around, and left.

As soon as Olivia left, Yvonne instantly collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.
Shivering, she took out a recording pen from her chest. On one hand, she was here to warn Olivia. On the other hand, she wanted to force her to say something inappropriate and edit it to frame her.
In the end, the warning did not work. Instead, she was so frightened that her legs went weak.
Fortunately, the conversation was recorded, so she didn’t suffer for nothing.
Yvonne turned on the recording pen and wanted to listen to it. However, something strange happened. Other than what she said at the beginning, what Olivia said was not recorded at all. There was only static.
How did that happen?
Yvonne’s face was ashen. She couldn’t believe it. She opened a few documents in a row, but nothing was recorded.
Just as she was panicking, the door suddenly opened.
Olivia turned back and shook something in her hand. “This is a sound jammer.”
Her tone was indifferent as she looked at Yvonne like a clown. “If you like Daniel, fight for it openly. Don’t play dirty tricks behind my back.”
Olivia frowned as she said that. She did look down on Yvonne, who only knew how to play some tricks. She was not presentable.
As soon as she entered the room, she sensed something was wrong. Because she was in the laboratory all year round, Olivia knew all kinds of machines like the back of her hand. Moreover, she
was a young scientist, so the country had attached great importance to her.
To preve
yone from obtaining scientific secrets through eavesdropping and surveillance, she always carried a machine that could identify surveillance equipment when she went out.
Not only could it discover the surveillance equipment immediately, but it could also interfere.
Looking at Olivia, Yvonne’s eyes almost popped out. She couldn’t believe it. “You…”
“Stop talking!” Olivia did not want to listen to her and interrupted her directly. “You’d better behave yourself.”
With that, she turned around and left.
She found Daniel downstairs and left with him.
Sitting in the car, Olivia rummaged through the cloth bag. Daniel turned. to look at her and asked, “Did you leave anything behind?”
Olivia touched her neck. It was a square platinum card she had worn since she was young. The word “Taylor” was engraved on it. Because of this card, Isaac did not change her last name, so her surname was still Taylor.
She had always cherished this card.
However, it was not important now. In the past, she cherished the card because she used to have fantasies about her parents. This card contained her longing for her mother. Now that she had cut off her kinship, this card was dispensable.
“If it’s missing, so be it. Maybe it’s hinting at a new beginning,” Olivia thought to herself.
At the thought, Olivia looked up at Daniel, smiled, and shook her head. “No, I didn’t leave anything behind. What I left behind is not what I
Want”
“That’s good. Keep the old, and you get nothing new.” Daniel’s voice was gentle.
At the same time, in Olivia’s room, Yvonne took out a square platinum card from her pocket. She touched the word “Taylor” on it with her fingertips, and a sinister look flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. Yvonne casually wrapped the necklace around her wrist and walked downstairs.
As soon as she arrived at the living room, she saw a hale and hearty old man sitting in the living room.
It was Isaac
Yvonne was shocked. Then, she smiled warmly and greeted him. “Isaac, you’re here?”
The old man nodded at Yvonne with a gentle expression.
Isaac was a distinguished guest. Everyone came to greet him. Liam leaned on his walking stick and urged his assistant to help him downstairs.
As soon as he arrived at the living room, Liam went forward excitedly. “Isaac, you’re finally here.”
Isaac smiled at Liam, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries. Isaac said, “I came early. I hope that I won’t disturb you guys.”
Upon hearing this, Samuel shook his head. “How can you say that? Your arrival brings light to the Taylor family’s humble dwelling. How can you say that you’re disturbing us?”
Isaac smiled. He did not humble himself, but he did not follow Samuel’s enthusiasm either.
He had seen many passionate people. Whether it was a noble family or a beggar in dire straits, he treated them equally. In his eyes, there was no
etween high and low. He would treat them equally as long as
see a doctor. He was neither servile nor overbearing and had his strength of character.

It only took a few moments for the Taylor family to be impressed by the grace of Isaac. They thought he was worthy to be from a hidden family passed down for hundreds of years, and he had the air of ancient scholars.”
Isaac had planned to come the day after tomorrow but arrived today in advance. He explained to everyone, “I arrived yesterday afternoon. I originally wanted to visit my granddaughter, but unfortunately, I couldn’t contact her. She didn’t answer my call, and I couldn’t find her at school. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Instead of delaying for two days, I came
early.
Mhung That
Liam said, “You’re always welcome here.”
Yvonne sat next to Isaac with a gentle and obedient expression. She was very curious about the granddaughter Isaac was talking about. “Why can’t you contact her? Do you need my help? Did something happen?”
Thinking of his granddaughter. Isaac frowned and sighed. “I’m afraid she’s still angry with me. Let’s not talk about her. She’s very safe. Nothing will happen to her.”
“Angry?” Yvonne widened her eyes in surprise. “Oh my god! One must be happy to have such a good grandfather like you. How could she dare to br angry with you? She’s too insensible. She doesn’t know how lucky she is. If I were her, I would always stay by your side.”
Hearing this, Isaac laughed and said. “Don’t say that. It’s all my fault. I’m too impatient and hurt her heart. She’s a good kid.”
He was trying to defend his granddaughter.
Seeing this, Yvonne no longer said that his granddaughter was insensible. She quickly changed her tone and began to praise his granddaughter.
This time, the smile on Isaac’s face was much more sincere. He couldn’t help but nod and say, “She’s very clever. She’s just naughty and has a bad temper.”
His tone was filled with love for his granddaughter. When he mentioned. his granddaughter, his eyes sparkled.
Yvonne and Emma were envious when they saw it.
They also wanted a grandfather who loved them so much.
After a si
xchange of pleasantries, Isaac checked Liam’s condition.
Liam w… nervous. He kept staring at Isaac. After Isaac checked, he immediately asked. “How is it? Can it be treated?”
Isaac shook his head. “No, I can only maintain this state for now. I can’t completely cure it.”
Hearing this, Liam’s eyes flashed with disappointment. However, he was already mentally prepared. He did not feel particularly uncomfortable. He just sighed. “It’s good enough that it can be maintained.”
Isaac glanced at Liam with a deep gaze. No one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he said, “If my granddaughter is here, she should be able to treat your leg.”

inmare’s Missing Darling
Isaac had come for Olivia this time. Back then, Olivia had given up on medicine, which made his heart ache. He scolded her fiercely and said some harsh words.
After so many years, Isaac had long regretted it. He knew that Olivia had given up on medical skills because of Gillian. This child was too sentimental.
She had to bear everything herself and give everything to others. This was what made Isaac the angriest and also the most heartbroken.
Knowing that Olivia valued relationships, Isaac made this trip in hopes of using the Taylor family to make Olivia practice medicine again.
That child valued friendship and kinship the most. If the Taylor family people wanted her to practice medicine, she would agree.
Hearing Isaac mention his granddaughter again, everyone was surprised. Previously, they thought the renowned doctor kept talking about his granddaughter because he loved her too much. However, when he mentioned her again seriously, their thoughts changed.
Could it be that his granddaughter was really so good that she was even. better than him?
That should be impossible!
Everyone quickly rejected this idea and only said politely, “Your granddaughter is amazing. If only she is here.”
Isaac understood the meaning behind their words. He knew that they did. not believe it. However, he did not explain. When Olivia returned and cured Liam’s leg, they would believe it.
Liam’s leg was not suitable for acupuncture now, so Isaac wrote a prescription and was about to leave.
Yvonne
illy stood up and said that she wanted to send Isaac off.
Isaac couldn’t refuse it, so he could only agree.
After getting into the car, Yvonne opened the door for Isaac. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing the square platinum card on her wrist with the word “Taylor” engraved.
Isaac was shocked and pointed at the card. “What’s this?”
Yvonne frowned and secretly scolded herself for being careless and revealing it. Once others saw that she had the card in her hand, it would be difficult for her to frame Olivia.
Although scolding herself in her heart, she still looked gentle and refined as she explained softly. “This is a gift from a friend of mine.”
“Friend? Iaar looked carefully at the card and confirmed that it was Olivia’s, Olivia had always cherished it as a family item. How could she give it away?
Yvonne nodded with a serious expression. “We’re very good friends. She gave it to me
“Oh, so you’re good friends.” Isaac nodded and smiled. “This chain is very
nice“
After that, his attitude toward Yvonne became gentler, as if he was looking at his own junior. It was completely different from the polite gentleness from before.
Yvonne was sharp and quickly realized the difference. She was surprised. and did not understand why Isaac’s attitude toward her had suddenly changed.
Still, that was a good thing.
She said tentatively, “It’s not easy for you to come to Evervale, Isaac. Why don’t you stay for a few more days? I’ll bring you around, okay?”
Isaac chuckled. “Then thank you.”
Yvonne was pleasantly surprised. She was only asking tentatively. She didn’t expect Isaac to agree.
Isaac had always had a strange temper. He looked gentle on the surface, but he was aloof. Previously, Yvonne had spent a lot of effort, but she could not make him treat her differently.
Unexpecte
e suddenly became gentle to her today.
What a leat surprise!
Yvonne was overjoyed. Isaac was a renowned doctor. Countless people were fighting to get treatment from him, but they had never seen his true face. With Isaac in hand, she could open the door to all the nobles in Evervale.
No, she didn’t have to open it. They would fight to greet her. This was a huge resource!
Daniel sent Olivia home. Olivia had not been home for a few days and the house was very dusty. In the past, a housekeeper would come over regularly to tidy up. Perhaps because Olivia was not home the past few days, the housekeeper could not enter the house without a key, and so no one came to tidy up.
Daniel walked around the sofa, but he did not sit down.
Olivia was a little embarrassed to see that. There was indeed a lot of dust on the sofa,
Olivia took out a duster and swept the dust away. With a slightly red face, she explained, “I haven’t been home the past few days, so my house is a little/messy.”
Ever since Daniel confessed, Olivia had been more self–conscious. She could no longer be as carefree as before and would be a little shy in front of Daniel.
Daniel rarely saw Olivia like this. Ever since Olivia lost her memory, she had always been cold and indifferent. This was the first time Daniel had. seen her shy. He felt that Olivia was quite adorable this way.
Daniel felt that Olivia’s slightly red face reminded him of a rabbit. He really wanted to hug her and rub her soft fur.
Daniel deliberately frowned and stared at the sofa. He looked troubled, as if he was trying to say that the sofa was dirty and he didn’t want to sit on
1. it.
As expected, Olivia instantly became nervous. She looked around. There was nowhere else to sit in the living room except her workbench, but that wasn’t the right place. Where should he sit?
Olivia W

While she was still in a dilemma, Daniel had already pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
Olivia’s apartment was a small one–bedroom apartment with a bedroom of less than 215 square feet. With the cabinet and the six–foot bed, there was almost no more–space in the bedroom.
The moment Daniel walked into the bedroom, his long legs made the originally small room look even more claustrophobic.
Motor’s Missing Darling
I’ll sit here, Daniel said. He turned and sat on the bed, his long legs bent. Olivia was shocked and immediately said. “How can you sit on the bed?” Daniel suddenly looked up. His handsome face instantly became charming. Propping himself up on the bed with one hand, he turned his body slightly to look up at her. With a low and hoarse voice, he said, I can’t sit? Do you want me to lie down?”
Olivia was stunned for a moment. Her face burned. Redness spread from her cheeks to the depths of her neck. As a CEO, you don’t even have a bed at home, yet you still want to freeload at someone
else’s house?” Olivia said.
Daniel smiled shamelessly. “I’m not a freeloader. You’re the only one who has such an honor.”
Olivia had always been eloquent, but when faced with Daniel, she would always blush for no reason and be left speechless after a while. When Daniel saw that Olivia’s face was flushed red, there was a hint of satisfaction in his smile. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled Olivia onto the bed, pressing her down tightly.
Because it was too sudden, Olivia could not react in time. She stared at Daniel with her eyes opened wide.
It took her a while to realize what the current situation was like. She was actually pinned under him!
Embarrassed, Olivia struggled against him, but Daniel held her tightly and pressed her against the bed. He looked at her domineeringly.
“Don’t move,” Daniel said. Olivia could feel his hot breath against her ear. “Does your stomach hurt?”
As Daniel spoke, he placed one hand on Olivia’s abdomen. His palm was hot, and though her thin clothes, Olivia felt a warmth that made her aching st
2 instantly feel comfortable.
At this moment, Daniel softened his expression. With a calm and serious look, he said, “Rest well. Don’t worry about anything. I’m here.”
Previously, after he drank Olivia’s coffee at the Taylor’s place, Daniel realized that Olivia was having her period today. Her periods had always been very regular, and Daniel had always remembered the date. It was just that he had not seen her for many years and thus, he did not immediately recall it.
When Daniel drank the brown sugar tea, he suddenly remembered.

After the food was delivered, Daniel made a few simple and nourishing dishes according to the recipe.
It was his first time cooking, so he wasn’t very good at it. However, after making two dishes, he was able to cook with ease.
A sinart person would be able to learn anything quickly. Even when it came to cooking, he would be able to pick things up quickly and his food. would be very delicious.
The dishes were ready and placed on the table. Daniel wiped his hands and was about to wake Olivia up when he stopped at the bedroom door. Daniel frowned. He felt that something was not enough, so he returned to the kitchen and took out a fruit knife. He did some calculations, then. used the knife to make a cut on his left index finger.
Olivia was sleeping very soundly. It had been a long time since she had slept so soundly. While she was at the Taylor’s, Olivia had not been able to get any proper sleep. Although Olivia had let go of her feelings for the Taylor family, she still could not calm down. She had to spend a lot of effort to get herself to relax.
It was only when Olivia returned home that she was able to completely relax. She was so comfortable that she did not even want to get out of bed.
In a daze, Olivia smelled the fragrance of food and slowly opened her
eyes.
Because Olivia had just woken up, there was still a trace of confusion on her face. Her unguarded face was a little childlike, no longer cold and indifferent as before.
Was Dani oking?
Olivia till
er head and thought about it. After thinking for a while, she felt that it was impossible. A person like Daniel really could not be associated with cooking. Daniel was completely from a different world. How could a high and mighty king deign to cook personally for someone else?
Shaking her head to clear her mind, Olivia lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
2.llionaire’s Missing Darling
Olivia came to the dining room and looked at the dishes on the table. How should she put it? It didn’t look that good; it didn’t look like takeout from a hotel. Could it really be Daniel’s cooking?
She looked up at Daniel in the kitchen. His back was facing her, and she didn’t know what he was busy with.
Olivia wanted to go over and take a look, but when she thought of what had happened previously, she felt a little embarrassed. She gently knocked on the table to attract his attention.
Sure enough, Daniel turned around when he heard the sound. He was a little surprised to see her. “You’re awake?” he said. Then, Daniel put his left hand behind his back.
Olivia did not think much about it. She pointed at the food on the table and asked, “Did you make this?”
“Try it. Do you like it?” Daniel nodded and picked up his knife and fork to pick a piece of beef for Olivia.
Seeing this, Olivia quickly took a bowl to receive it. Unexpectedly. Daniel bypassed the bowl and brought the beef to her mouth.
Olivia looked down at the beef by her lips and blushed again.
That was it. She should just forget about not blushing today.
Daniel’s sudden intimacy made Olivia uncomfortable. She was too embarrassed to open her mouth and eat the food that was about to reach her mouth, so she just stayed unmoving.
Daniel did not seem to notice her embarrassment at all. Instead, he misunderstood and even frowned and asked, “Do you think it’s hot?”
As he p
Daniel brought the beef to his lips and pressed his lips against it to test the temperature.
“It’s alright. It’s not hot.” Then, Daniel brought the beef to her mouth again.
Olivia was speechless. The meat was already pressed to her lips!
Olivia was really too embarrassed to eat this piece of beef. She didn’t like to be so close to people. Ever since Olivia fell out with Gillian Dale, when she went to university, Olivia had always been alone and never got close
to anyone.
00e’s Missing Darling
Previously, when Daniel was restraining her, that level of intimacy was already at Olivia’s limit. Olivia had indulged him only because she had a good impression of Daniel. But now, this was too much.
Before Olivia could speak, Daniel seemed to understand something. He laughed at himself, then asked “You despise me?”
There was a hint of loneliness in his expression.
He had a handsome face to begin with. Such a sad and disappointed expression neutralized his aggressiveness. He no longer had a domineering aura. Instead, he looked aggrieved. Seeing this, Olivia’s heart instantly softened.
Before she could make a conscious decision, her body moved on its own. accord. She leaned over and took a bite of the beef.
The way she snatched at the meat made it look as though she had never eaten anything before.
After eating the beef, Olivia immediately regretted it. She lowered her eyes and scolded herself for not thinking properly. Why did she lose her rationality whenever she was facing Daniel?
Daniel was also shocked by the ferocity of Olivia’s eating. He propped up his chin and chuckled. With his charming manner, he said, “You’re so impatient. Don’t worry. There’s more.”
Daniel picked up another piece for Olivia.
Just like that, he fed Olivia her whole lunch.
When Olivia was full, she suddenly realized that Daniel had not eaten a single bite.
“You should eat too. Don’t just focus on me,” she urged.
Daniel’s leisurely gaze landed on Olivia’s face. His gaze lingered on her lustrousd r a moment before he said in a hoarse and seductive voice,
“I’m fal
Olivia looked at his clean bowl and was puzzled. “What did you eat?” Daniel had clearly not eaten anything.
Daniel said slowly, “Beauty.” Then, he muttered softly, “It is not beauty that intoxicates; it is one’s love of beauty that intoxicates.”
Olivia was once again struck dumb. In an instant, she felt all the blood in her body rush to her head. This scoundrel!
After a while, the blush on Olivia’s face subsided and her expression
Pillionaire’s Missing Darling
became calm again. She looked at the dishes and once again, urged Daniel to eat. “Stop fooling around. Hurry up and eat. The dishes will turn cold soon.”
After dinner, Olivia took the initiative to wash the dishes while Daniel stayed by her side to help.
At first, Olivia did not notice it, but after a while, she realized that something was wrong. Daniel always used his right hand and kept his left hand behind his back. Even when he carried a larger plate, he only used one hand.
Olivia frowned slightly and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She grabbed Daniel’s left hand when he was not paying attention. Then, she saw that his index finger was wrapped in gauze, and a hideous wound could be vaguely seen behind it. The gauze was stained with blood.
Seeing this, Olivia felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. It was so painful that she stumbled.
Without a word, she pulled Daniel to the sofa and sat him down.
Daniel could tell that she was angry, so he was exceptionally obedient. He did not say a word and let her do whatever she wanted.
Olivia found the first aid kit and removed the gauze layer by layer.
The wound on his index finger was very big, almost an inch long. If Olivia was not a doctor, she would definitely drag him to the hospital to stitch up the wound.
She found a bottle of homemade medicinal powder and applied it to the wound. Then, she wrapped it up with gauze layer by layer.
“You have to be careful with your diet for the next few days. You can’t eat spicy or heavily–seasoned dishes. Your hand can’t get wet,” Olivia
instructed.
Daniel le
at her serious and focused eyes. A hint of gentleness. flashed across his eyes as he agreed softly, “Alright, I’ll be careful.”
Ellis came to pick Daniel up. Daniel had a meeting in the afternoon and it was very important. He could not be late, so he left after lunch. When Ellis heard that Daniel had injured his hand, his face immediately fell. Ellis looked like he was about to cry.
Olivia looked at Ellis curiously. “What’s wrong?” Thinking that Ellis was worried about Daniel’s wound, she explained, “It’s nothing serious. He just shouldn’t get it wet. He’ll be fine in three to four days. If he’s careful
to not aggravate it, it’ll be fine.”

Ellis glanced at Daniel, who was walking in front. Ellis slowed down slightly and complained to Olivia, “Miss Olivia, you may not know, but Mr. Sullivan’s wound will definitely get wet.”
“Why?” Olivia did not understand.
Ellis sighed. “You don’t know, but the CEO is a workaholic. When he’s busy, he doesn’t even have time to eat, let alone remember the wound on his hand. Once he starts working, he’ll be completely focused and won’t remember not to touch water at all.”
Olivia frowned. “You can remind him.”
“When he’s at the office, I’ll definitely remind him, but there’s nothing I can do when he gets home.” Ellis gave an example. “For example, Mr. Sullivan likes to think while washing his face and brushing his teeth. Once he starts thinking about work, he definitely won’t remember that there’s a wound on his hand. He doesn’t like people approaching him, and when there’s no one to remind him, he will definitely use both hands. This will wet the wound.”
This was really a problem. Olivia frowned. After a while, she thought of a solution. “You can call him at night to remind him.”
Upon hearing this, Ellis put on a frightened expression. “What? How can I disturb Mr. Sullivan if there’s nothing urgent? He’ll kill me!”
What should they do? Olivia was at her wit’s end.
Ellis secretly sized Olivia up. Seeing her worried look, he deliberately sighed. “If only someone could stay by his side to remind him. Unfortunately, Mr. Sullivan doesn’t have a wife. Mr. Andrew is too young to understand these things. Zoe and the others are old, so they can’t keep an eye on Mr. Sullivan at all times.”
After sayi

the injury drags on like this, it will definitely be serious. What should we do?”
At this point, Olivia still did not reply.
Helpless, Ellis could only grit his teeth and stomp his feet. He said directly, “Miss Olivia, why don’t you stay at Mr. Sullivan’s house for the next two days? With you around, I’ll be at ease.”
After saying that, Ellis saw Olivia giving him a deadpan look.
Even though she had seen through Mr. Wilson’s schemes, Olivia was still willing to fall for it because she was quite concerned about Daniel.
He wouldn’t have broken his hand if he hadn’t been cooking for her. Olivia had always been relenting. It was not typical of her to ignore it. Daniel, who was already in the car, saw Olivia walking over through the mirror. His eyes were instantly lit–up with smiles, and his face was as light as a spring breeze. However, when Olivia opened the car door and got in, his expression changed to shock in a flash.
He stared at Olivia with innocent eyes, as if asking Olivia why she got into the car. Was she planning to hitch a ride?
Olivia explained, “I’m concerned about your hand. Do you mind if I bother you for a couple of days?”
Upon hearing this, Daniel was slightly surprised. He raised his thick black eyebrows and then suddenly leaned over. His deep and shimmering eyes flashed with emotion, and his tone was half teasing and half earnest. “Are you caring about me?”
Olivia’s breathing sped up. Her body shrank back and pressed against the back of the seat subconsciously.
What was he going to do?
Daniel chuckled. He picked up the seatbelt and buckled Olivia.
It turned out that he was wearing a seatbelt for her. Olivia heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt a little embarrassed that she was
too nervous.
Mr. Wilson got in the car and drove Olivia to the Sullivan family before heading the company.
Andrew to the kindergarten during the day. When he was picked up by the driver in the afternoon, his chubby little hand, which had five vortices on the back, was still clutching a cookie box. He obediently placed it on his little legs.
The driver asked him to put it on the seat. Andrew shook his head, his chubby hands gripping it tightly.
Seeing this, the driver couldn’t help but be curious. “What’s inside?”
Andrew said softly, “Cookies I made.”
“Wow!” The driver exclaimed, “Mr. Andrew is so awesome.
Andrew was a little shy after being praised. His blushed cheeks were like two big apples.
The box contained cookies that the teacher had taught the children to make. She said she wanted the kids to make some cookies to express their love to their parents.
The other children made ten biscuits, live for their mothers and five for their fathers.
Daniel did not have a mother, so he planned to only make five. However, when he was kneading the dough, he suddenly thought of Olivia.
Although Olivia was not his mother, he liked her and decided to make biscuits for her. So he made twelve cookies, five for his father and seven for Olivia, Because he liked Olivia a little more, he made two more for her.
When they reached home, Zoe came over to pick up the cookies in his hand. Then, she took Andrew to wash his hands.
Andrew was thinking about the cookies and wanted to send them to Olivia. He asked when his father would be back and wanted his father to bring him to her.
How could Zoe know Daniel’s whereabouts? However, she thought for a moment and said, “He should be back before dinner. Miss Olivia is here. Mr. Sullivan won’t be back too late.”
“What?” He didn’t expect Olivia to be here.
Andrew widened his eyes in surprise and looked up at Zoe. “Miss Olivia? You mean Olivia is here?”
“That’s right.” Zoe nodded. She felt that Andrew’s surprised look was too cute. She could not help but tap the tip of his nose and say gently, “Miss
e guest room upstairs. Let’s wash our hands and change our clothes i e going to look for her, okay?”

“Yes.” Andrew nodded heavily. He was extremely happy.
After that, he ran upstairs. When he saw Olivia, his entire body softened. He wished he could turn into candy floss and attach himself to Olivia. He looked up as he hugged her legs. “Olivia, why are you
here?”
Olivia was sitting on the sofa and reading a book. All of a sudden, a plump kid ran in and hugged her legs. Olivia’s heart softened when she felt such a chubby lump pressing against her. She bent down and carried
Biliuniene’s Missing Darling
him onto his lap. “Because I felt that my little Andrew was missing me, so I came over.”
How magical!
Their eyes were similar. Staring at Olivia, Andrew was curious and shy. “You’re so amazing. You actually know that I miss you.” He counted with his fair little fingers. “I missed you three times the day before yesterday, five times yesterday, six times today…”
The child’s soft voice fell into Olivia’s ears, making her heart melt away. What an adorable child!
Olivia suddenly thought of Daniel’s suggestion. Actually, it was not that unbearable to be with him. She felt a little tempted by this man, and more importantly, she adored Andrew even more. She loved this little boy.
Actually, after thinking about it carefully, this suggestion was really not bad.
Since Olivia was here, there was no need to send it to her. Andrew ran to get the cookie box, divided seven pieces, and ran upstairs.
Looking at the adorable cookies that were obviously made by the child himself, Olivia was pleasantly surprised. Her eyes moistened slightly. “You made them for me?”
Andrew nodded. His face was red and he was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “Yes.”
“Thank you, Andrew. You’re the best.” Olivia touched the cookies and placed them on the table. She held Andrew’s hand and said, “Let’s eat together. Can you divide them?”
Andrew took out the cookies. One for Olivia, one for himself, one for Olivia, one for himself…
In the end, there was a missed one.
Of the i cookies, Olivia was given four, but he himself was given
three.
When Olivia saw this scene, she picked up one of hers and gave it to
Andrew.
Seeing this, Andrew waved his hands anxiously. He tried to stop her. “No, no. Then you get less.”
How could a child resist an adult? In the end, Olivia placed that cookie on Andrew’s side.
Buonane’s Missing Darling
Andrew couldn’t figure out this problem. He lowered his head and looked at Olivia’s cookies, which were one less than his. He was a little upset because he loved Olivia and he hoped she could get more cookies. He frowned and thought for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up.
An idea came to his mind that he should give Olivia a kiss on her cheek. “That’s good enough,” the boy said, blushing himself.
The moment the little boy’s soft kiss landed on Olivia’s face, her heart almost skipped a beat. A warm and sweet emotion suddenly swept her heart.
This little boy had really moved her too much.
She couldn’t help but hold Andrew in her arms and said in a low voice, “You’re so sweet!”
The furry little guy lay on Olivia’s neck. He was still too young. A five–year–old child could not understand Olivia’s complicated emotions. However, when he saw Olivia’s expression, he thought that she was sad. He reached out and patted her back. “Olivia, don’t be sad. I’m here.”
“Yes, I’m not sad.” Olivia nodded. How could she be sad when such a cute little angel was with her?
She was the happiest person in the world because this little angel liked her so much.

After eating the cookies, Olivia and Andrew played with plasticine together. Because Andrew’s star sign was Aries, Olivia pinched out a sheep.
Her hands were skillful. Although it was her first time playing with
plasticine, she found the knack after rubbing and pinching it a few times. Moreover, she had learned drawing before. The lamb was made so lively that Andrew exclaimed repeatedly.
“Amazing! Olivia is awesome!”
With Andrew’s exclamation, Olivia squeezed out a flock of sheep. There was a mother sheep, a father sheep, a sheep baby, and grandparents sheep. With such a big family and pets, in the end, it was almost comparable to Shaun the Sheep.
It was almost time for dinner. The two of them went to wash their hands.
Zoe saw the little sheep were so beautiful that she could not bear to destroy them. She took them out and placed them in the living room. She planned to find a place to put them later.
Coincidentally, Daniel came back. When he saw the flock of sheep on the coffee table, he frowned. His eyes flashed with displeasure. “Where did you get these sheep? Throw them away.”
He was raised in a big family and had a refined taste of aesthetics when it came to indoor items. He could tell at a glance that this flock of sheep was incompatible with the noble style of the living room and destroyed the luxurious decoration of the house.
Zoe had always been afraid of Daniel. When she heard this, she
immediately said, “I’ll take them away right now.” After picking them up. she did not forget to explain in a low voice, “This was made by Miss

Olivia. thought that it was a pity to dumb it together, so I wanted to find a plac eep the sheep. If Mr. Samuel doesn’t like it, I’ll throw them away now.”
Made by Olivia?
“Wait,” Daniel called out to Zoe.
Zoe was puzzled when Daniel came forward and took the flock of sheep. He lowered his head and looked at them carefully for a while. When he spoke again, his tone completely changed. “How cute these sheep are.”

What a Bekle maril
After Daniel finished speaking, he looked around as if he was looking for a suitable place to place the sheep.
However, he felt that nowhere was suitable. In the end, he frowned and said, “Put it in my study. This flock matches the style of the study.”
Although Zoe rarely entered the study, she was clearly aware of its style. Was such a cold and solemn style really compatible with this flock of sheep?
Although Zor complained in her heart, in the end, the flock of sheep still entered Daniel’s study.
After dinner, Andrew returned to his room to sleep. Daniel was also tired and wanted to sleep.
Olivia checked the time and was a little surprised. It was only 8 pm. Did all CEOs sleep so carly?
She reminded him, “Be careful of the wound. Don’t get it wet.”
Daniel nodded and returned to his room. Olivia also went back to her room. However, just as she reached the door, she heard a suppressed short coming from Daniel’s room.
It was a very restrained voice, but it made people panic.
“What’s going on?” Olivia’s heart squeezed. She hurriedly went over and knocked on the door.
Daniel, who came out to open the door, looked depressed. His handsome face was pale.
Olivia lowered her head and saw the crease on his right wrist.
It found out that he couldn’t unbutton his right cuff with his injured left hand.
Olivia was amused. It turned out that the superior Daniel could also have such al
SS moment.
She held out her hand. “I’ll help you.”
As she spoke, she reached out to unbutton his sleeves.
Sophic, who was tidying up the living room downstairs, happened to see this scene. Her eyes almost popped out.
Oh my God! Was that Mr. Sullivan? He always avoided contact with women. Why did he allow a woman to touch him this time?
hanes Missing Darling
As if she had discovered a new world, Sophie hurriedly ran to the kitchen and told Zoe about this.
Zoe had a look of understanding on her face as if she had already seen through it. “Just wait. Mr. Sullivan is about to have his Mrs. Sullivan!”
Olivia helped Daniel change his clothes. After washing up, the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted.
“Have you thought about it?” Daniel looked up at her with a slightly serious gaze.
Olivia knew what he was talking about. She also found it a good suggestion, but wouldn’t it be too soon?
“I remember you said seven days, right?”
It was indeed seven days. This was the time limit he had given, but today, he regretted it. He had experienced her caring and tenderness, and he had known how wonderful it would be like when the woman he loved. helped him take off his clothes and wash up. He could no longer bear the lonely nights with no one around.
Such a huge bed was not built for just one person at all. It was more appropriate for two people to sleep on it!
Therefore, he must get the answer in advance.
Of course, scheming Daniel would not be so direct with Olivia. He thought of another excuse. “Today, my mother called me and asked me to go on a blind date.”
Olivia was stunned.
Daniel started to explain. “I heard that woman has a bad temper. I’m afraid that Andrew won’t be happy living with her. But my mother promised she could treat him well as a good grandmother. In the future, she will take care of Andrew because I will have a new child with another woman.”
Olivia w
d of confused before she heard what Danie next said. “You know, love Andrew and I don’t want him to stay with his grandparents. However, if I marry a new wife, I can’t guarantee that she will treat Andrew well. For Andrew, I have to send him back to my parents. There is no other choice.” Daniel’s tone became softer.
“No matter how deep the love is, it can’t withstand the test of time. As time passes, I’m afraid I’ll forget that Andrew. He never has a mother, so I don’t want him to lose his father again.”
Itwas words were like a bolt of lightning that ruthlessly struck Olivia’s heart. It was so painful that she could not breathe.
When she realized that Andrew would be bullied and become a child when parents, her stomach churned with
Looking at Olivia’s confused and uncomfortable expression, Daniel’s heart throbbed. He knew he was a little anxious and was pushing her to make a decision, but he couldn’t wait anymore. He was really impatient. He was afraid that she would forget him, and even forget Andrew. There Wax no sense of love in her eyes when she looked at him,
He once believed that he could wait. He could take it slow and let her fall in love with him again. When her emotions were stable, he would tell her the truth
However, when he heard that she went on a blind date with Ethan and was bullied by the Taylor family, he could not wait anymore.
He was afraid. He was afraid that she would be taken away. He was even more afraid that someone would abuse her in a place where he was not Around
He valued her like a gem. How could he see her get bullied by anyone
Without waiting for Olivia to speak, Daniel continued, “If you’ve thought it through, accompany me back to our old house tomorrow morning.
A cold glint flashed across Daniel’s eyes. “If you don’t come, I’ll know
His eyes were lowered and his face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
Olivia left with a heavy heart. Daniel sat on the bed without moving until the cold air made him shiver. Then, he lay down and covered himself with the blanket.

Why did he let her think about it? He should have grabbed her hand directly and not let go until death. Why was he pretending to be a gentleman
Daniel kicked the bed in rage. He was asking for trouble
Daniel did not sleep much that night. He couldn’t sleep well until dawn.
This sleepless night was a waste of time. When he opened his eyes, it was already eight in the morning.
Daniel frowned and pressed the switch.
The curtains slowly opened automatically, and the sky was already bright outside.
He got up, washed up, and changed into a suit. Then, he walked to Olivia’s room and knocked on it.
There was no response.
Daniel frowned. Could it be that she had already got up?
He turned around and was about to go to Andrew’s room. When he turned his head back, he saw Zoe. “Where’s Miss Olivia?”
Zoe held Andrew’s schoolbag and was about to take him downstairs for breakfast and kindergarten.
When she spotted Daniel, she stopped suddenly and replied respectfully, “Mr. Sullivan, Miss Olivia left at five in the morning.”
Upon hearing this, Daniel’s calmness was instantly shattered. His eyes. were filled with extreme shock. His jaw tightened, and his lips shivered at few times before he said, “What did you say? Say it again!”
He erupted like a volcano as soon as he finished speaking. Zoe shivered. with fear, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground with a thump.
She took a step back and was completely stunned by Daniel. She could not speak at all.
If Andrew hadn’t come out, she would have fallen to the ground because her legs were weak.
It was tor y! Mr. Sullivan was too scary.
Andrew…ed his eyes and walked out of his room. Due to his height, he first saw the bag on the ground and said, “Zoe, my bag is on the ground.”
lis causal words instantly shattered the terrifying atmosphere.
Daniel retracted his anger and returned to his room without saying a
word.

Andrew scratched his cars. He did not know what was wrong with his father. He ran to Zoe and picked up his bag. “Is it time for school?”
It was as if Zoe had returned from hell to the mortal world. She panted heavily for a full five minutes before calming down. Without saying a word, she pulled Andrew’s hand and went downstairs for breakfast.
She brought him to finish eating as quickly as possible and sent him to school. She then cleaned up the living area before leading Sophie to the small room.
Sophie was shocked by Zoe’s pale face and kept asking her if something had happened.
Zoe kept her mouth shut and did not leak any information. She just kept shaking her head and warned her, “Don’t ask anything. Listen to me. I’m always right.”
She thought that Daniel would stay in his room the whole day, but in less than half an hour, there were some sounds in the living room. Zoe wanted to go out and take a look, but she was too afraid of Daniel. After hesitating for a while, she decided not to move.
About fifteen minutes later, a woman’s cold and pleasant voice came from the living room.
It took Zoe a minute to realize that it was Olivia’s voice.
She came back at the wrong time. Mr. Sullivan was on the verge of exploding. If Ms. Taylor returned at this moment, she would definitely get injured.
Daniel rarely lost his temper, but once he did, he must be furious. The people around him kept quiet out of fear that they would displease Mr. Sullivan and suffer his wrath.
“Oh, no, no. Ms. Taylor would be severely scolded,” she thought.
Zoe was a little anxious. She was wandering around the room like a headle
cken.
Sophield not stand it anymore. Although she did not know Mr. Sullivan as well as Zoe did, she could guess that Mr. Sullivan was angry.
She sighed. “Stop hesitating. Go out and take a look. Although Mr. Sullivan is angry, I think he won’t vent his anger on others.”

They were quite different from the nouveau riche who had little regard. for the servants and gave commands like a dog owner.
Zoe nodded and sighed. “Alright, let’s go out and take a look.” It was a way out to keep hiding here.
The two of them tiptoed out of the door. They even imagined several scenes in their hearts. They thought about how they would make peace between Mr. Sullivan and Miss Olivia if they had a fight.
However, when they came out, they found Mr. Sullivan standing beside Miss Olivia with an aggrieved expression. Unexpectedly, Miss Olivia was the one who was composed.
It turned out that the fact was the opposite. The two of them were shocked. They had imagined thousands of scenarios, but they did not expéct such a scene.
No, no, they must be hallucinating.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
How could Mr. Sullivan, who was as cold and noble as a prince, show such a grieved expression? That was too shocking!
At this moment, Daniel felt extremely wronged. When he found out that Olivia had left, he was so wrathful that his body trembled. Then, he felt cold. He realized that this meant Olivia did not agree. She was unwilling to be with him.
Daniel’s enraged body calmed down at the thought of this.
However, as time passed, he regretted it more and more. He was sorry for forcing her last night. He had certainly considered taking it slowly, so why couldn’t he restrain himself?
However, all these emotions turned into grievances the moment he saw Olivia.
His eyes were accusing. “Where did you go?” His tone was sorrowful.

Upon hearing this, Daniel realized that she had changed her hairstyle. It was a gentle chignon. She had light makeup on her face and her clothes. were elegant and noble.

The Sullivan family’s old mansion was halfway up the mountain. Isabella was not in good condition. Although she was not even 60 and had taken good care of herself, she could not afford to move around a lot. She rarely attended banquets and spent most of her time in the old mansion. Olivia picked up some gifts. As she was in a hurry, she did not have much time to be selective. She prepared some common gifis, expensive and decent.
The Sullivan family had long known that Daniel was coming back. There were people guarding the entrance. When they entered the gate and passed through a few intersections, servants were standing on both sides welcoming him.
Olivia was calculating this distance. From the gate to the entrance of the house was about 1,100 yards. It was indeed a vast property.
It was said that housing prices in Evervale were high. A property in a great location would cost more than 1,850 dollars per square foot. Daniel’s home was at least 22,000 square feet, not including the
courtyard and landscaping.
Morcover, this large mansion was not the only place where Isabella lived. There were also smaller houses around it, residences of the other
members of the Sullivan family clan. It should be a collection of buildings.
What a prosperous family!
When they arrived at the entrance of the main residence, a white–haired butler in a tuxedo opened the car, with a hand behind.
When Daniel came down, the butler bowed first. His attitude was
respectful, and his etiquette was meticulous. Even the most tricky and
on could not find any flaws.
picky
“Heir
Brown.” Daniel nodded to the butler and walked over to open the door for Olivia.
Seeing Daniel’s actions, a trace of surprise flashed across the butler’s eyes. He did not expect their Mr. Daniel to be so careful and considerate. He had practically witnessed how he grew up and had never seen him so concerned about any woman.
Mr. Brown had been a butler for many years and had seen countless
high ranking offrials, nobles, and rich big shots. He’d spent a long time

howing in perceptive eyes. With just one action, he could see Daniel’s anitude toward Olvis.
He retracted his indifferent and distant demeanor. The cold face instantly tumed kind. He grinned like a caring and gentle elder, making everyone feel at ease.
He also bowed respectfully to Olivia.
Damel opened his mouth. This is Miss Olivia, my fiancée.”
The butler’s eyelids fluttered, and his eyes clouded as he heard the word hancee His demeanor remained unchanged as he welcomed the two of them in. When they couldn’t see him, his expression changed dramatically
When did Mr. Daniel have a fiancée?
Isabella had already chosen a good woman for him. The butler felt profound pity for Olivia as he remembered how much she treasured the girl she picked up.
Miss Olivia looked considerably beautiful and had a good temperament, which made her appear well– educated, but such a girl was not
uncommon.
The lady that Isabella valued was a real somebody.
It was said that she was related to the renowned doctor Isaac. They had a really close relationship. Isaac treated her as if she were his
granddaughter. Not only did he personally come to Evervale to treat Mr. Liam, but he also gave them two precious pills. One was given to Liam, and the other was given to Isabell by her. He did these all for this treasured girl.
Isabella was overjoyed at this precious pill. She was extremely fond of that!
Besic
de young lady was also the daughter of the Taylor family. There were rumors that the Taylor family would hand over all the assets to her in the future.
What an awesome girl! She was talented, gorgeous, rich, and blessed with support from the renowned Doctor.
Olivia had really been completely overshadowed. No matter how hard she tried, she could never catch up.
Olivia was clutching Daniel’s arm. She could hear laughter in the living
room as soon as they went through the door. She was taken aback when she heard a female voice she recognized. She raised her head to meet Yvonne’s bright gare. It couldn’t merely be a coincidence.
She sat beside Isabella with a smile on her face, but her gaze was filled with smugness and mockery.
Yvonne leaned against Isabella like a decent fair lady. On appearance, she looked like an elegant and noble debutante, but her gaze was extremely malicious. She did not contain the arrogance in her eyes as she stared at Olivia as if she had known someone was about to get embarrassed. She had always been evil and duplicitous
Olivia was the one Daniel loved, and so what? No matter how much a man liked a woman, he could not give up everything for her. Family and benefits were what he had to consider more.
Today. Yvonne came here to humiliate Olivia and let her know that there was always someone better than her. Even though she was the Taylor family’s biological daughter, she had been raised outside the family for 18 years. Her etiquette was rough. her taste was awful, her financial condition was terrible, and she lacked a strong interpersonal network. She was only worthy of being used as a stepping stone! Thinking about marrying into the Sullivan family? That’s a total daydream!
In the past. Yvonne didn’t hate Olivia that much. She just felt that she got in the way like a thorn in her side, so this bitch had to be kicked away. Olivia wasn’t a huge deal in the haughty Yvonne’s eyes. She was merely poor puppet she could play about with at will. If she came in the way steal her husband. Yvonne would kill her without hesitation. That was an
unbearable sin!
However, two days ago. Olivia actually broke her arm, which made Yvonne extremely resentful!
She had never been treated this way since she was a child. Today, she had to exit her vengeance through Mrs. Sullivan. Daniel had to reprimand

her and
Yvonne
had already schemed everything, sat proudly to gloat at
Olivias shock and fear.
She wanted to see her lose her composure.
However, Olivia’s gaze did not stop on her at all. She only glanced at her lightly, as if he did not see her at all.
In an instant, Yvonne’s face darkened Nothing was more infuriating than
disregard and indifference!
Yvonne was so angry that her heart ached. There was a gloomy feeling in her heart to explode. How dare she! She’s just an abject nobody. She actually dared to ignore her. It should be herself who had the right to ignore others.
Seeing Daniel come back, Isabella was very happy. She could not help but say, “It seems you haven’t forgotten the family. I thought you don’t remember me at all.”
Daniel brought Olivia to sit elegantly on the sofa opposite her. Then, he smiled and replied, “Mom, the guests are all here. Don’t joke on me.”
Isabella smiled and said, “So why don’t you just come back and visit me more often.” With that, she held Yvonne’s hand and introduced her warmly, “This is Ms. Yvonne, the daughter of Amy from the Taylor family.”
After saying that, she turned to Yvonne. “Do you see him? That’s my Daniel. You young people have to get along well.”
She completely ignored Olivia and treated her like air.
Yvonne lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, pleasure flashing across her
eyes.
When Daniel saw the pleasure on Yvonne’s face, a trace of coldness. flashed across his eyes. He clenched Olivia’s hand tightly and suddenly looked up. His tone was icy, yet he was firm enough that no one could dismiss him. “Mom, this is Olivia. She will be my wife.”
Isabella scowled as she heard this. She had previously purposefully ignored Olivia because she wanted her to back off in order to prevent shame. She had not expected her son to be so daring and
straightforward.
Isabella was unhappy. She was interrupted by Daniel as she opened her mouth.
“You’re i
old, Mom. Why are your eyes so fuzzy that you can’t even
see people?” His tone was teasing, but it was bone–chilling.
Isabella was suddenly shocked and looked up at Daniel.
She seemed to see the old Daniel who had just returned from the bottom
of the cliff five years ago. It was as if he had returned from hell. His entire body was imbued with a bone–chilling coldness as if one could be frostbitten just by looking at him.
babella’s hand trembled. She immediately turned to Olivia and said in a geule voice, “This must be Ms. Taylor. What a beautiful girl.”
Hearing this, Yvonne’s expression darkened. She looked at Isabella in disbelief, shocked by her shift in stance.
She used to dislike Olivia before. Why did her attitude change in such a *second?
Of course, Isabella didn’t like Olivia. She said these nice words because she was frightened by Daniel.
Ever since Daniel returned with the child five years ago, he become a different person. He was harsh and merciless. No one, not even Isabella, could persuade him otherwise.
For various reasons, Isabella felt guilty. She did not dare to interfere in Daniel’s matter and mostly followed his wishes.
After all, they were mother and son. Although there had been some alienation between, them, it had progressively healed over time. Their relationship had recovered in the previous five years.
However, the sudden change in Daniel’s temperament just now stunned Isabella completely. It was as if she was looking at the arrogant and cold Daniel who had just returned five years ago. Hence, she was terrified. She looked Olivia up and down. She had to admit that her son, Daniel, had an impeccable taste. This girl was outstanding. Even Isabella, who had seen numerous beauties, was praising her for her attractive look from the bottom of her heart.
Not only was she beautiful, but her demeanor was second to none. She was elegant and noble and conducted with gentleness and solemnity. Without Yvonne, Isabella would definitely like this daughter–
in–law very much.
But now, the situation was different.
Yvonne was a golden goose. Not to mention her family background, her relationship with that doctor was a huge resource.
Anything that was scarce was precious.
That renowned doctor was indeed a scarce resource.
Gradual
bella started to look at Olivia with a critical gaze and her tone tur old. “Could you tell me something about your family?”
Before Olivia could open her mouth, Yvonne intercepted, “Isabella, she’s my sister.”
Sister? Isabella was stunned.
Yvonne smiled and explained, “Mrs. Sullivan, you might not know this. Olivia is the daughter the Taylor family have lost for 18 years.” At this

point, her tone was a little mocking. “She grew up in a small family. I heard that a very old man adopted her, just an unknown doctor.” Isabella’s frown intensified. Disdain flashed over her eyes as she heard this.
A middle–aged woman sitting around exclaimed, “Does that mean that she grew up in a poor family?” Then, she faked a pitiful expression. “What a pity. She’s a rich young lady but ended up in a shanty. Without the guidance of a great teacher, her knowledge and talent are probably far inferior”
The woman who spoke was Isabella’s niece. Ostensibly, she looked pitiful, but in reality, she was mocking her.
Daniel’s eyes darkened into a maelstrom of rage.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt a warmth in his hand. It was Olivia who covered his hand and patted it comfortingly.
They made eye contact. Daniel understood what she meant. He leaned against the sofa and said nothing because it was Olivia’s showtime. Isabella’s face clouded even more as she heard her niece’s statements. Olivia had a decent background. She was descended from the Taylor family, but what she had experienced was completely unacceptable. Growing up in a poor and humble family, she must be undereducated. Girls from rich families had been traveling throughout the world since they were young. They were extremely knowledgeable and
well–informed. They had also been to the tropical rainforest, seen the pyramids, climbed the snow mountains… These experiences and broad–mindedness were not something that a daughter of a poor family could have.
As for Olivia, she had probably never even left the country.
Thinking of this, Isabella became even more unsatisfied.
Everyon
while tr
sent was smart. They flattered Mrs. Sullivan and Yvonne ng Olivia’s dignity.
The first one to speak was Daniel’s aunt, Lilian. She glanced at Olivia from head to toe and then frowned. She said in a sharp and unkind tone, “Olivia, what are you wearing? Don’t you have any branded clothing? And the pearl hair clip on your head. Eh, no, this thing is simply a normal hairpin. Am I right?”
At this point, she stopped talking but burst out laughing, asking, “Are you

cosplaying? Pretending to be a European princess? Did you get this hairpin from Amazon? How much does it cost? Twenty bucks for three pieces? And it comes with free shipping?”
She laughed mockingly and turned her gaze to Daniel. “Daniel, Olivia is going to be your wife after all. Don’t be stingy. Even if you are not willing to give her Haute Couture or high–end jewelry, you still have to spend. If you let her dress so terribly, people will assume that the Sullivan family is collapsing. How embarrassing.”
The young lady beside Lilian followed her gaze and looked over. She did not pay attention to that poor hairpin on Olivia’s head.
This young lady was Lilian’s daughter. Her name was Harper Sullivan, only 19 years old. She was fond of traditional costumes and joined some communities with other hobby friends. She knew a lot about classic clothes and head accessories.
Seeing that Olivia was wearing a hairpin, she observed her a few times. and realized that the hairstyle was exquisite, but it was a little old–fashioned. It was obvious that it was out of date.
She grimaced, her eyes mocking. “A good hairpin only costs about a hundred dollars. It can’t be too expensive. You’re too frugal to put on an old one.”
It was really embarrassing. After all, Olivia was typical of a girl raised in a humble family. People like her were never liberal with cash.
If her cousin really married this woman, the Sullivan family would be disgraced. Harper felt disgusted at the thought of living with such a pathetic woman.
Although Yvonne was delighted to see Olivia being mocked, in the eyes of others, she and Olivia were both from the Taylor family. They were still sisters. It was not appropriate to see her sister get humiliated. Or the Sullivan family may think that she was unkind and cruel.
So she said hypocritically, “Olivia, are you having some problems? I still xtra money here. Not too much, just millions. Take it and if at’s enough.” As she spoke, she took out a bank card and handed it over.

She acted like he was rewarding him.
Olivia’s gaze fell on that card, and she remained silent for a long time.
After a while, she suddenly chuckled.
Everyone was dumbfounded by her laughter. For some reason, they did
ot know what she was laughing at.
Olivia raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin from her bun. She shook it twice.
These idiots must be kidding. This golden hairpin was worn by Princess Consort Elewys of the lleniel Empire. But now it had actually become a cheap item on Amazon. That’s ridiculous!
Ignoring everyone’s surprised gazes, she fiddled with the warm pearls on the hairpin and said indifferently, “You’re right. This hairpin is indeed not expensive. It’s just a pearl–gold hairpin worn by Princess Consort Elewys of the lleniel Empire. It’s only worth one to two million dollars.”
After saying that, she slowly put the hairpin back on, as if she had just said something casually and completely ignored the dead silence in the
room.
The lleniel Empire!
Princess Consort Elewys!
One to two million dollars!
Everyone was shocked by these words and did not say anything for a long time. Harper Sullivan reacted quickly and immediately took out her phone to search. Soon, she found the information on Wikipedia.
“Oh my god, it’s actually true. It’s exactly the same as the picture. Seven years ago, this hairpin was auctioned in Sotheby’s London. It sold for 1.65 million dollars. A Duke in Gorshire was the winner. A reporter interviewed him, and the Duke said that a respectable old man saved his life, so he bought this hairpin as a gift to give it to the old man’s granddaughter.
As soon as she finished speaking, the room was so quiet that one could hear any sound. It was as quiet as a graveyard.
C
After the silence, there was surprise and flame on her face,
Lilian felt humiliated she had been slapped in the face in public. Her face was blushed in anger. She had self–inflicted her mockery just now.
She could not believe it and muttered, “Impossible, that’s impossible. It must be fake.” She raised her hand to pick the hairpin on Olivia’s head, but her daughter, Harper, stopped her and scolded in a low voice, “Mom!”
She instantly came to her senses and stopped talking. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make. She had already been shamed once. She couldn’t let it happen again.
But Yvonne’s expression was relaxing. She even said jokingly, “I didn’t expect Mr. Sullivan to be so concerned about my sister. She can even get such a unique hairpin.”
With just one sentence, she directly concluded that the origin of the hairpin was Daniel.
Her mom also caught on. Her eyes lit up. That’s right. This hairpin must. have been given by Daniel.
Olivia was raised by a poor family. She couldn’t be so well–versed in history. Even if the Taylor family dropped her money, she must have bought something tacky.
Harper also looked at Daniel. She puffed up her cheeks and said.
coquettishly, “Daniel, you are so mean to me. You do know that I like this. kind of thing, but you didn’t give it to me. A man always forgets about their original family after getting a wife.”

heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.
He turned to look at Harper, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully, “Do you want me to find a doctor?”
Harper did not understand and asked, “Why do you need a doctor?”
Daniel’s eyes were filled with mockery. “Your ears got some problem.” He lifted his chin up. “You just read the Wikipedia just now. It was a Gorshire. duke who took away the hairpin. Are you deaf or are you stupid? You treat me as a Gorshiren.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Harper’s face turned pale,

Yvonne’s expression was unnatural.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become stiff, Isabella said, “Alright, stop talking about the hairpin
After saying that, she turned around and patted Yvonne’s hand. comfortingly. Her tone was gentle. “My girl, you gave me such a precious pill, but I don’t have anything good to return your gift. I’ll get Daniel to accompany you later. If you have any requests, just tell him. You are not here to get jealous. Come to me if he isn’t good to you. I’ll help you.” Yvonne lowered her eyes and smiled shyly. “Mrs. Sullivan, you’re so kind. No matter how precious the pill is, it’s not as precious as health. Your condition is the most important thing. Take the precious pill first. In a few days, I’ll ask my grandpa to come over for treatment.”
Hearing this, a surprised expression flashed across Isabella’s face. “What did you say? You can invite the renowned doctor over?”
After all, those were shares in the family, even if it was only 3%. The annual dividends amounted to over 20 million dollars. And that was just the dividends. If it was sold, it could be worth over a few billion dollars. This was money that many people could not earn even if they worked hard for their entire lives.
“Ms. Yvonne is a really capable girl. She has a good relationship with that renowned doctor. That’s impressive! ” Lilian was flattering. Then, her gaze turned to Olivia with criticism and disdain.
“Ms. Yvonne gave Mrs. Sullivan a precious pill as a gift. She can even invite the renowned doctor to personally treat Mrs. Sullivan. Miss Olivia, the future daughter–in–law of the Sullivan family, I wonder what gift you have prepared?”
She remembered the embarrassment just now, so she was desperate to catch every possible opportunity to humiliate Olivia. Her eyes kept glancing at the bags Olivia had brought over.
“Bring it over. Let me take a look at it. I want to see what it is. Not necessary to be comparable to Ms. Yvonne’s precious pill, as long as it’s half as valuable.” She crossed her hands and had a mean expression. The servant was about to take the gift bag according to her instructions. Daniel, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, suddenly kicked over the coffee table,
His actions were fast and ruthless. He used almost all his strength, and the solid wooden coffee table was completely kicked over by him. It

rolled a few times on the ground ending up with a loud bang. Isabella was so frightened that she trembled and quickly covered her chest and mouth.
It happened so suddenly that no one could react in time. They were all stunned and looked at Daniel in shock.
When Isabella calmed down, she immediately looked at him angrily and said sternly, “What are you doing? There are guests here. Why are you behaving like a rullian? Our Mr. Daniel is well–bred. He is not a peevish man. This is not what the Sullivan family’s people should be like.”
Daniel sneered and retorted, “Mrs. Sullivan, my mother, what about you? Are you well–bred? Look at you. You claim to be a noblewoman from a hundred–year–old wealthy family. Is this how you treat your guests? Is this how you allow Aunt Lilian to bully your guests? Who would despise a gift from a guest and embarrass her in front of others but you?” He was really angry. The coldness in his eyes was as sharp as an icicle. The performance of the Sullivan family team made him furious. Daniel’s eyes blazed with wrath as he glanced at his mother. His tone was icy. “It’s me who invited Olivia to come here. I believe she conducted herself. You’re the one who made yourself look bad. The Sullivan family should be ashamed! Olivia was loathed by you since she was reared in a poor home and did not have a nice upbringing. Her manners, on the other hand, were immaculate today. Instead, you’re teasing her, a and you’re a jerk. You’re as bad as a nouveau riche!”
Hearing this, Isabella’s face instantly turned ashen. The others in the Sullivan family also had ugly expressions. They looked at Daniel with embarrassment and fear.
This was especially true for Lilian. She was so embarrassed as if she was about to bury herself into the sand like an ostrich. When she thought of her previous harshness, she immediately felt extremely disgraced. She thought that she was from a noble family, but she was the one who lacked fundamental etiquette.
Olivia was also shocked by Daniel’s rage. Previously, when she saw Daniel’s idle posture, she thought that he had really given her a showtime. She did not expect that he was suppressing his anger.
“Daniel…” Olivia held his hand. On the one hand, she was moved by his courage, and on the other, she wanted to console him. She didn’t want him to become split from his family.
Daniel turned to look at Olivia and clapped her hands, indicating that he was fine.
Then, he lowered his tone. “Are you scared? I meant you could handle it yourself, but I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.”
When he mentioned this, his tone became grave, and his expression turned solemn. “I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with you outside the family. I know you are a capable woman so I trust you. That’s why I always let you solve the problems on your own. But in the Sullivan family, I don’t want to see you get bullied by anyone. If even my family dares to look down on you, then I must be a bad husband.”
All the family conflicts between mother–in–law and daughter–in–law were caused by the husband’s inaction. He would not let Olivia fall into such a situation.
If he loved Olivia, then everyone in the Sullivan family had to love and respect her!
He turned to Yvonne with an unconcealable coldness. “Ms. Yvonne is our guest. I won’t say anything unpleasant. But as long as I’m present no one can insult Olivia.”
Then he bent down and picked up the precious pill from Mrs. Sullivan’s lap. He handed it back to Yvonne and said in a rough voice, “Take it away. You’re not welcome!”
