Chapter 371
During this winter break, Andrew did not need to go to class. Olivia accompanied him every day, and the two of them were very happy from playing.
He went up the mountain to chase birds and went into the river to fish. He was a wealthy young master before. However, he became a wild boy and his clothes. were never clean. There was mud everywhere, and his small hands were black. He did not dare to grow long nails for fear of hiding mud inside.
He didn’t have enough fun outside and continued to play when he returned home. He was about to want to ruin the villa and dig holes everywhere to plant flowers and grass..
He even played with the mud and molded it into all kinds of small animals. Copper and Shawn, who worked in the annex building, could see Olivia and Andrew running crazily every time they looked out of the window when they were tired. Olivia and Andrew were playing a lot of funny games. It was especially
childlike.
After watching it a few times, Shawn liked these scenes. He felt that the two of them were especially energetic. Every time he felt tired, he would stand by the window on the second floor and look out. Inspiration would surge.
He could not help but sigh. “Ms. Taylor and Andrew have such a good relationship.”
Shawn only had the computer matter in his mind. He was relatively simple–minded and said whatever came to his mind.
However, when Copper heard this, he chuckled and said with a meaningful expression, “Shawn, don’t be fooled by appearances.”
Shawn raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Copper with a puzzled expression.
Copper was unwilling to discuss Daniel’s family matters. Although there were only two of them in the office on the second floor, it was hard to guarantee that others wouldn’t hear what they said. He was afraid of being heard by others. “Nothing.” Copper shook his head. “I was just spouting nonsense.”
Shawn frowned and said, “Boring.”
Then, Shawn lowered his head and looked outside. Olivia and Andrew were playing. At this moment, the two of them were playing under the tree with apples. Copper also glanced out of the window and sneered.
He would not speculate that Olivia had ulterior motives, but he did not like Olivia’s actions.
No matter what her purpose was, to please or intentionally turn Andrew into a wild boy, she should not have stopped Andrew from learning knowledge.

The other little boys and girls of wealthy families were all accompanied and taught by great teachers at this age. Even if they weren’t learning knowledge, they were developing their interests and hobbies and learning various specialties.
Not to mention the little boys and girls of wealthy families, just ordinary families, the couple had a little bit of spare money and wanted to use it to let their children study more.
Olivia, on the other hand, actually allowed Andrew to do nothing and learn. nothing, just play crazily all day long.
Copper didn’t know what was wrong with Daniel. Copper didn’t know if Daniel really trusted Olivia or didn’t care about Andrew’s growth. Daniel actually didn’t care and even played around with them occasionally when he was in the mood. Copper also had a six–year–old son at home. He was the same age as Andrew, but he was more knowledgeable than Andrew in terms of upbringing and etiquette, as well as knowledge and specialty.
Towards his own son, Copper was very concerned. The people he hired were all experienced great teachers. Right now, his son was so young and hadn’t even entered primary school, but he already knew much knowledge. This little boy could recite many articles and was known as a little prodigy.
Andrew, who was the same age as Copper’s little son, had a better family background but only knew how to play games.
Thinking of this, Copper looked at Andrew with pity.
The naive child did not know anything. He only knew how to play, but he did not know that he was far behind his peers.
As he aged, the gap grew wider.
Downstairs, Olivia was talking to Andrew about gravity and teaching him this difficult knowledge in simple and funny language.
Olivia was knowledgeable. There was nothing she did not know. Moreover, at her level, she had a very thorough understanding of knowledge.
She was very good at simplifying complexities and making difficult knowledge funny and easy to understand.
Not only that, but Olivia was also very worried that she would not be able to teach well. Over the past few days, she had been studying children’s education and child psychology overnight and learned many ways to teach children.
Andrew had been together with Olivia for a few days. It was as if he had become different.
Whether it was knowledge, human relationships, etiquette, or hands–on abilities, Andrew had learned more and his skills were all rapidly improved.
His concentration, self–control, and comprehension also improved significantly. These were all external aspects. Most importantly, it was psychological.

Andrew did not lack love. Ever since he was young, both Isabella and Daniel had doted on him. However, no amount of love could replace motherly love.
The little Andrew was still a little sensitive. Although he did not mention it and was as close to Olivia as ever, he understood everything in his heart. Andrew thought, ‘Olivia is about to get engaged to Daniel. She would become my mother. Not only that, Olivia and Daniel would have another child in the future. In that case, would Olivia still love me?”
Because he was worried about losing Olivia’s love, little Andrew hid under the blanket and cried a few times. He did not tell Isabella or Daniel.
He was afraid that Isabella and Daniel would misunderstand Olivia.
Andrew liked Olivia so much and didn’t want her to be sad.
Therefore, he lay on the bed alone and quietly and thought of this unfamiliar emotion that he did not understand.
However, in the few days that Olivia accompanied him, Andrew completely thought this thing through.
He liked Olivia very much. He liked Olivia to be his mother.
It turned out that having a mother was such a good thing.
After teaching Gravity, Olivia and Andrew played with mud again.
After playing for a few days, Andrew’s fingers were much more agile than before. He already knew how to knead kittens and puppies.
The two of them squatted on the ground, their heads touching, using the mud to make the kitten family.
The kitten’s father lived with the kitten, fishing and chasing butterflies every day. One day, the kitten met the kitten’s mother and formed a happy family.
Andrew stretched out his little finger and pointed at the kitten family. “Daddy, Andrew, and Olivia, we are a happy family.”
Such sincere words, childish and earnest.
Olivia’s heart softened. It was as if she was soaking in warm water. Her entire body was warm and bubbled with happiness.
Andrew carefully held them in his hands.
Olivia walked to the side and said in a low voice, “Let’s go back and build them a house with building blocks, okay?”
Andrew nodded and said, “I want a big house.”
The two of them chatted as they walked. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious. When they passed by the entrance of the annex building, they happened to meet Shawn and Copper, who were out for a stroll.
Olivia nodded at the two of them.
“Ms. Taylor.” Shawn smiled slightly at her, then looked down at Andrew. “Andrew,
Hillionaire’s Missing Darling
what are you holding in your hands?”
Andrew raised his hands ostentatiously. “The kitten’s family.”

Initially, Shawn was just casually asking and finding a topic to talk about. However, when he looked carefully, he realized that the three little kittens were actuaily so vivid that they looked real and cute.
Shawn was shocked. “Did you make them?”
Andrew nodded. “Yes, yes.”
“You’re really amazing.” Shawn gave him a thumbs up.
Beside him, Copper also noticed the little kittens. He was a little surprised that such a young child like Andrew could make it so well. Even an adult like him could not do it.
However, this was not a serious matter. It was just a game.
Copper retracted his gaze and turned to Olivia. He suddenly said, “Ms. Taylor, aren’t you afraid that Andrew will lose to others if you play with him like this every day and don’t help him study?”
“What?” Olivia looked up. Her beautiful eyes were a little confused, but she quickly understood the meaning of his words.
She smiled and looked
Own at Andrew. She said slowly and clearly, “What do you think is the best education? Prenatal education? Child education? Or preschool education?”
Copper frowned. He felt that Olivia said this deliberately and was about to speak. Olivia’s clear voice sounded in his ears. “But I think parents‘ love is the best education for children.”
Copper was stunned.

Chapter 372
The end of the year had always been the busiest time in the company. Work had to end. and human relationships had to be made.
In the past, Daniel was unwilling to attend any banquet. Even if he went, he did not bring a female companion. He always brought his secretary.
In a group of couples, he, a loner, looked especially pitiful.
But this year was different. He had a female companion.
Therefore, Daniel accepted a few invitations.
This time, he would attend it with Olivia and introduce her to others officially.
This time, he came to participate in a small family banquet. The host was the previous president of the Chamber of Commerce in Evervale. Although he no longer serves as the president, because of his good character and high prestige, many people still respected him very much.
The people who came to attend the family banquet this time were all famous big shots in Evervale.
Even banquets of this level were very low–key, and the people who came were even more low–key. Luxury cars drove into the manor one after another.
Although Daniel was young, his status was very important. As soon as Daniel entered, the host, Alfred Roberts, welcomed Daniel and greeted him warmly. After exchanging pleasantries, Alfred turned his gaze to Olivia. “This must be Ms. Taylor, right? You’re really young and outstanding. During this period of time, everyone has been talking about the anti–cancer drugs you made.”
Olivia nodded and chatted with Alfred politely.
After a while, someone else came over. Alfred and the others wanted to talk to Daniel, so they asked Becky Roberts, Alfred’s wife, to bring Olivia to the reception.
room to rest.
On this side, many women were here.
Olivia also saw Bettany in the crowd. Bettany was sitting in a corner and in a daze. It was obvious that she could not join them.
Sensing Olivia’s gaze, Becky looked over and was a little curious. “Miss Taylor, you know Miss Fulham? She comes here as Alexander’s female companion.”
Becky said that Bettany was Alexander’s female companion and there was faint disdain in her tone.
Olivia nodded and did not feel that there was anything to hide. She said directly, “She’s my junior sister. Painting Association’s Rose Liebsig is our master.”
“Oh, really?” Becky was surprised and a little excited. This was really big news. After realizing this, Becky looked at Bettany with much more enthusiasm.

When the other women heard Olivia’s words, they began to think in their hearts. They began to approach Bettany, intentionally or unintentionally, to talk to her. Their tones and expressions became intimate and passionate as they talked to her. Bettany did not understand what was going on. While she was flattered, she also felt a inttle smug.
She thought, ‘As expected, Alexander’s reputation is great. We are not even married yet, but these rich women are already flattering me.
Bettany enjoyed all of this, but she was also worried that she would show her fear, so she spoke less and nodded more. She smiled at everyone, leaving a good impression on everyone.
A younger beauty in red was a little unhappy when she saw Bettany being surrounded by others. She muttered softly, “She is just from a poor family. It’s not certain if she can marry the Grant family. Is there a need to be so proud now?” “Cherry Evans!” the younger beauty’s mother, Daisy Evans, scolded. She pulled Cherry to a private room and reprimanded her in a low voice, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why don’t you pay attention to this occasion? You don’t have the etiquette and upbringing! Is this how I taught you?”
“Mom.” Cherry pouted. “I just don’t like that Bettany. Why should I? Everyone was rejecting her just now. Why did they start to talk to her in such a short time?” Daisy sighed. She felt that Cherry was really stupid.
She slowly told Cherry about the logic, “Didn’t you hear it just now? Bettany is Olivia’s junior sister.”
“I know. What’s wrong with that?” Cherry was puzzled.
Daisy explained, “The Grant family is very powerful, but Bettany is only Alexander’s female companion. They are not married yet, so she’s not a powerful. person on the surface. Moreover, with her family background and character, it seems that the Grant family won’t let her marry Alexander. Such a woman like. Bettany is not worth befriending at all. We just have to stay away.
“However, if she is related to Olivia, things will be very different. Olivia is the head of the Smith family. The Smith family has recently become very powerful, and Olivia is also extremely outstanding. Once the anti–cancer drug is released, her reputation reaches its peak. Moreover, she is also Daniel’s fiancée.
“If Olivia supports Bettany, Bettany will have a high chance of marrying the Grant family. This way, everyone’s attitude towards Bettany will change.”
Cherry understood.
Without a good family background, Bettany would not be able to marry the Grant family, so there was no need to worry.
However, Bettany, who had the support of Olivia, would definitely be able to marry the Grant family. In this way, Bettany would be Alexander’s wife in the future.

“Bettany is really lucky.” Cherry pouted. “Not only did she get Alexander’s favor, but Olivia to be her senior sister. How lucky.”
“That’s enough,” Daisy said. “Stop talking. Let’s go out.”
“Okay.” Cherry nodded and asked Daisy, “Mom, can I go over and talk to Olivia later? She’s my idol.”
“No,” Daisy said with a straight face. “Don’t be so rude. Didn’t you see that there were so many people present but no one approached Olivia? Only Becky was talking to her.
“Everyone did not move forward, not because they did not want to curry favor with Olivia, but because they respected Olivia and did not dare to get so close. “Be careful. Don’t go over foolishly and anger Olivia.”
“Got it.” Cherry was very disappointed. Her idol, Olivia, was clearly right in front of her, but she couldn’t approach Olivia.
In the reception room, Becky sat on a separate sofa with Olivia and chatted with her. Beside them, there was a group of people surrounding Bettany and flattering her.
Bettany felt a little arrogant. She glanced to the side and saw that Olivia was alone. with only Becky.
A strange sense of superiority surged in her heart.
Bettany thought, ‘Now, I am the woman of everyone’s admiration. Olivia is already inferior to me.

Chapter 373
Becky and Olivia didn’t have much to talk about.
Becky had been a noblewoman for many years. She had lived a rich life and talked about luxurious clothes, jewelry, and other topics. She also had interests like arranging flowers, making coffee, and making dessert.
Olivia was not interested in these topics.
It was not that she could not chat with others, but with her current status, longer needed to force herself to cater to others.
she no
It had always been others who found topics to attract her interest, not her racking her brains to think of ways to arouse the interest of others.
After chatting for a while, it was really not interesting. Becky was afraid that Olivia would be bored, so she suggested playing cards.
The cards were the most suitable tool for rich women to socialize. They could chat, play, and even make the surrounding people interested in watching.
Olivia’s attitude towards playing cards was ordinary. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, she nodded.
Becky immediately asked the servants to bring two card tables. She even smiled. and said to everyone, “You guys come and play too.”
Everyone smiled and expressed that they didn’t like to play. They just wanted to watch from the side.
Today, this card game was originally set up because of Olivia. Becky did not pay much attention to others, so it was fine if they did not like to play.
“Today, the person sitting in this seat will be very lucky. Miss Taylor, you can sit in this seat. I guarantee that your luck will be good,” Daisy said with a smile. Then, she pulled Cherry over and gently pushed Cherry. “Cherry, later, you sit behind Miss Taylor and help her. You are lucky too.”
Becky chuckled and pointed at Daisy. “You’re so biased. You only care about Ms. Taylor. Don’t you care about us?”
Daisy had a good relationship with Becky and usually liked to joke, so she said, “I’m just biased. Miss Taylor is a person who has contributed to the country and all mankind. She deserves it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone laughed.
There were four people at the card table. Olivia sat on one side. Becky sat next to her so that she could help Olivia to win. Bettany sat opposite Olivia. There was only one seat left. It was Ethel, who was good at playing cards.
The four of them had just sat down when Olivia received a call.
It was Capitol Research Institute’s Bard.

Olivia frowned slightly. “I’m sorry, I have to answer a call. You guys play first.” As she spoke, she stood up and left. She went to the next private room to answer the call.
“What’s the matter?” Olivia sat down in the private room and asked.
Bard said, “Miss Olivia, Professor Corey has gone to Evervale.”
“Why did he come to Evervale?” Olivia was a little puzzled. “Isn’t he the person in charge of graphene’s preparation project? Why
did he come to Evervale? Has he found a partner company?”
“It’s precisely because he’s the person in charge of the project that he went to Evervale.” Bard frowned. His expression was not good. “The Grant family is getting more and more outrageous. They actually used their power to threaten Professor Corey to hand the project to the Holmes family. In the research institute, Jeremy is also secretly pressuring him. Jeremy said that if Professor Corey doesn’t agree, the project funds approved next year will be reduced by half.” What? Reduced by half?
Olivia raised her eyebrows. Her gaze was dark and unclear. “He sure talks big.” Upon hearing this, Bard knew that Olivia was dissatisfied with Jeremy.
He had been working for Olivia for so long and was Olivia’s confidant. Although he had been in the Capitol and did not follow Olivia, he still knew a little about Olivia.
He knew that there seemed to be some conflict between Olivia and the Watson family.
However, Olivia had always been fair and rarely put personal feelings into her work, so she would not make trouble for Jeremy deliberately.
As long as Jeremy was serious and did not cause trouble to affect the research institute, Olivia would always let him work in the research institute.
“Miss Olivia, you mean…” Bard said.
Olivia was already dissatisfied with Jeremy. She should have given Jeremy a warning or do something.
Bard was mentally prepared for this.
Unexpectedly, Olivia opened her mouth to say, she wanted to remove Jeremy as the deputy director.
Olivia looked up and said coldly, “Go and collect evidence. Isn’t Jeremy arrogant? Then he’ll be dismissed from his position taking charge of finances.”
“Really?” Bard was shocked.
Capitol Research Institute had changed the law when Augus was around, making the research institute independent, so the research institute had independent personnel rights.

When the director proposed to dismiss the deputy director, needing more than half of the votes to agree, it would be dismissed.
Olivia was extremely prestigious in the research institute. It was because of her that the research institute had its current status. The heads of the various departments respected her very much.
As long as Olivia asked, Jeremy would definitely be dismissed.
However, Bard had another wor
worry.
Jeremy had been working in the research institute for many years, and there was no telling how many people in the research institute were the Watson family’s. people and supported Jeremy.
If Jeremy was fired suddenly, it would probably cause a huge shock to the research institute.
Bard said his worries.
Olivia took out a Fruit Candy from beside the table. She peeled it and stuffed it into her mouth before saying, “Don’t worry, I’m in charge now! I will deal with it.” I’m in charge now!
These simple words made Bard’s worried heart strangely calm down.
He felt that his worries were groundless and that he had underestimated Olivia. Olivia could lead the research institute to its current position, so how could she be afraid of the Watson family?
In the reception room, Bettany sat beside the table, looking a little nervous. She was not very good at playing cards. In fact, she had never actually played cards before.
When she was young, she had to take care of her mother and help them. She also had to go to school and draw. She didn’t even have time to play, let alone play cards. After being with Alexander, she didn’t have spare time either. Not only did she have to learn how to draw, but she also had to learn etiquette and some rules. of upper–class society.
She did not have any free time at all.
Freda sat beside her with a gentle smile. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll teach you. This game is very simple. You’ll understand after playing with it.”
As she spoke, she explained the rules of cards to Bettany.
Freda explained in detail. Bettany was very smart. She quickly mastered the rules. and knew how to play it.
After knowing it, she was eager to try it out. “When do we start playing?”
Becky was talking to the person beside her. When she heard this, she turned to look at Bettany and explained softly, “Miss Fulham, don’t be anxious. Wait for Ms. Taylor.”

Bettany glanced at the private room beside her and frowned unconsciously. She thought, ‘Olivia has already been inside for a while. It has been almost ten minutes. When would Olivia come out? Am I going to wait for her forever?” She grabbed a card, fiddled with it, and said, “Find another person. Let’s play first.” As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding rich women, who had been whispering to each other, immediately looked up at Bettany, their eyes filled with surprise.
It was as if she had said something unbelievable.
Bettany was stunned. She subconsciously sat straight and asked nervously, “Why are you looking at me?”
“Nothing.” Becky smiled and turned her gaze away.
The others also retracted their gazes and thought to themselves, ‘Bettany is really silly. Becky wants to play cards with Olivia, it is all for Olivia. Becky invites. Bettany to play cards together only because of Olivia.
“As a companion, she actually really wants to play and even wants to find other people? She doesn’t have self–knowledge.

Chapter 375
At Daniel’s current status, he no longer needed to suffer and cared about others‘ thoughts.
He did not want to play cards, so he left directly. He brought Olivia to eat some fruits and went straight to the private room to have a rest.
As soon as they entered the private room and sat down, Olivia lay in Daniel’s arms. She heaved a long sigh of relief and completely relaxed.
Resting in Daniel’s arms, it was as if she had returned home and was completely at
ease.
Daniel hugged her and patted her back gently to calm her down.
“Why are you so tired?” Daniel was heartbroken.
Olivia shook her head and rubbed in Daniel’s arms. Smelling the familiar smell on his body, she felt extremely at ease.
“Not tired, just a little boring,” Olivia said in a low voice. “I don’t like to talk to people I don’t know, but…”
She wanted to say that she was willing to do everything because of Daniel. However, before she could say this, she was interrupted by Daniel.
His gaze was deep, and his tone was as gentle as the spring breeze. “If you don’t like them, ignore them. In the future, if you don’t like them, we won’t go.” Olivia was stunned for a moment.
It seemed as if his words filled her heart, making her warm.
Before she met Daniel, although she had never really been in a relationship, she was naturally sensitive and intelligent. She had a strong perception of other people’s emotions, so she had her own unique understanding of love.
She had read romance novels, watched romance dramas, and saw the people. around her fall in love.
She knew very well that the two of them being together was a process of constant compromise.
Whoever loved the other party deeply would be more compromising. However, no matter what, both of them had to give and compromise.
However, her relationship with Daniel did not seem to require any compromise at all. There was not even a trace of discomfort.
Sometimes, Olivia would have the illusion that she was not in a passionate
relationship, but was in the process of accompanying each other and being an old couple.
Daniel, this man…

He was very handsome and outstanding, which made her fascinated.

His intelligence and ability were outstanding. They both had the same thoughts and viewpoints.
He had a gentle and considerate temperament. Occasionally, he would throw tantrums to add to the fun.
What was even rarer was that Daniel gave her a sense of security. He kept his integrity. She didn’t need to remind him and he took the initiative to distance himself from other women. He would not be ambiguous or pester other women. He did not have any strange sympathy.
He only had Olivia in his heart.
Was there really such a perfect lover in this world? Olivia really felt that it was not real.
In many novels and operas, love should go through many twists and turns. It was as if without experiencing hardship, love was not worthy of being eulogized. On the other hand, her relationship with Daniel was too ordinary. There was not even a little difficulty. They just met, fell in love with each other, and then became a couple.
“Daniel.” Olivia held her chin with curiosity in her eyes. “Winona and Margaret like you. Do
you really not feel happy? Even if you’re not happy, are you proud?”
This was human nature. When a man faced a woman who liked him, it was very casy for him to soften his heart and feel pity for her.
“Happy about what?” Daniel’s beautiful eyes flashed with confusion. He did not quite understand.
“Someone likes you. Isn’t this a happy thing?”
“I don’t think so.” Daniel shook his head and said calmly, “I wasn’t good–looking in primary school and my grades weren’t good either. At that time, no one liked me. There were even people who played tricks on me and made fun of me. When I entered middle school and started to grow taller, my grades slowly improved. Only then did someone like me.
“They like my excellence! The reason why I’m outstanding is because I’m very hardworking. I listen to my teachers diligently, study diligently, and train my body diligently. All the good qualities in me are obtained through my own hard.
work.
“I deserve all those compliments, all those likes, all those honors. Since it’s something I deserve, why should I be happy because of the likes of some short–sighted women?”
Daniel lived very clearly. He was very outstanding, so naturally, many people liked him. He didn’t care about those superficial likes.
As long as he was always outstanding and rich, people would continue to like him. However, these likes were worthless.

People only liked his good qualities and his status as the richest man. Speaking of this, Daniel turned to Olivia. He twirled her hair with his fingertips and said in a serious tone, “Olivia, their love and their feelings are meaningless to me. They don’t matter at all. Only you… Your mood and emotions are what I should pay attention to.
“How can I make you unhappy for those unrelated people? Why would I do such a thing?”
Daniel spoke so seriously about love words that Olivia did not know what to say. “Silly girl.” Daniel pinched the tip of her nose. “Rest if you’re tired. Tell me if you don’t want to do anything. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
Olivia was a little touched and wanted to cry. She lowered her eyes, her long curly eyelashes hiding the tears in her eyes. She deliberately asked, “What about Alfred. and the others? Are you just going to leave them there and not care about them at all?”
“You’re the most important.” Daniel lowered his head and kissed Olivia on the forehead. “Don’t think too much. Do whatever you want. Don’t worry about others. I’m here. I’ll settle it.”
He had worked so hard to reach his current position so that he could completely protect Olivia.
If Olivia went against her true intention and did something she didn’t like, what was the point of his hard work?
Back then, he had just come out and into the business world. He was poor and had nothing. He even brought a little child with him. Facing those powerful opponents, he faced difficulties one after another.
The reason why he did not fail and did not give up was because he wanted to be able to protect Olivia one day.
Because of this belief, it had supported him step by step to reach his current position.
Olivia leaned against Daniel’s warm shoulder and closed her eyes happily. Daniel was afraid that she would be cold. He even took off his suit jacket and covered her.
Olivia opened her eyes and blinked. She whispered, “Your clothes will get wrinkled.”
“So be it.” Daniel did not care. “It can cover you and keep you warm. Only then will it have meaning.”
‘What a glib tongue!‘ Olivia thought and smiled slightly.
On the other side, in the reception room, everyone was playing cards. Although Daniel and Olivia were not around, they could not just sit around. They played it. With Alexander by her side, Bettany was very confident. She told Alexander

which card Alexander should put.
Unfortunately, her skills were really not good. After commanding a few times, Alexander lost.
She was a little anxious and looked at Alexander carefully. “Alexander, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Alexander frowned. “Don’t make a sound. I’ll get someone to hire a card teacher for you tomorrow. Let him especially teach you so that you won’t embarrass the Grant family when you go out.”
Embarrass?
Bettany lowered her eyes and replied with a pale face, “Alexander, I will learn it hard. I won’t embarrass you.”

Chapter 376
Olivia’s mind was not on the Smith family. Tracy was shockingly talented in cooking, but she was not very smart when it came to organizing.
She was in charge of the matters of the Smith family and could not deal with things well at all. She had only teamed up with Healix, Alvin, and the others who were capable and powerful. They were also smart and cunning. As for the other men who were not important, she could not deal with it at all.
Therefore, Jarron and Gillian’s actions went very smoothly. They roped in many people. Although Tom had lost a lot of money and lost a lot of shares and shops, he was very satisfied with the results.
After discussing things with Jarron and Gillian, Tom drove back to the apartment. Recently, he had a drama to take and it was not considered a good drama. After losing his capable agent, his career had not been smooth recently. Although he was still popular, his reputation had not been good recently, and he could not get a good drama.
In the long run, he would easily fail and lose popularity.
He called his assistant and asked about his agent’s matter. “Haven’t you found him. yet?”
His assistant frowned and said, “Mr. Grant, there’s been no news. I don’t even know if he’s dead or alive.”
When Tom heard this, his expression was extremely ugly. He said coldly, “You can’t even do such a small thing. It’s just finding a person. How many days has it been? I don’t ask you to find him immediately, can’t you have any information about him?”
Seeing that Tom was angry, the assistant quickly comforted him. His assistant apologized and cursed himself for being incompetent. After making Tom happy, he said, “Mr. Grant, we can’t wait like this. Let’s find another one, okay?” Tom was silent. He raised his hand and scratched his head. He was a little frustrated. “Do you think powerful agents are like cabbages on the market? Can they be found easily? Powerful agents either come out to start their own companies or are the best agents of their companies. It’s very difficult to hire such people.”
The assistant chuckled. “Mr. Grant, there’s really a suitable candidate.”
Tom frowned. “Who?”
“Amanda Cook!”
Hearing this name, Tom was stunned and his expression became serious. She was really a good candidate.
Amanda was once the top agent of a top entertainment company in the country.

Because of some matters, she fell out with the company’s higher–ups and came out to start her own studio.
Amanda’s family background was not bad. She was rich, capable, and had resources. Not long after the studio was established, she had let several people become popular. Her view was not ordinary.
Amanda’s current studio didn’t have any big shots. The female star she worked with before had retired from the entertainment industry after getting married and having children. Now, Amanda was in her free time.
After careful consideration, Tom felt that Amanda was the most suitable agent for him. He directly instructed his assistant, “Contact her first and sign the contract after the negotiation.”
The assistant was stunned and subconsciously said, “Mr. Grant, aren’t you going to meet her personally?”
When it came to cooperation, of course, it had to be consensual. Amanda’s status. in the entertainment industry was very high. Tom only sent an assistant over and didn’t even meet Amanda personally. Did Tom not value her?
“There’s no need to meet her.” Tom frowned. “Amanda doesn’t have any big. celebrities in her studio now. Don’t worry, once she hears that I want to cooperate, she will definitely take the initiative to look for me.”
“Well, I think…” The assistant was not as confident as Tom.
The assistant thought, ‘If Tom wants to work with Amanda, he should express his sincerity. Isn’t Tom too arrogant? Why does Amanda take the initiative to cooperate with him?”
After hesitating for a moment, the assistant said, “Mr. Grant, although Amanda. doesn’t have any big shots in her studio now, she’s been quite diligent in working recently. Kelly Sebastian, who was popular in the girl band, was still in Amanda’s
studio.
Amanda had won several fashion resources for Kelly, as well as a luxury brand. The TV series was also being filmed.
“Kelly?” Tom smiled. He still remembered that little girl. She was very beautiful.
So she was in Amanda’s studio.
That was really fate. If Kelly was sensible and tactful, he wouldn’t mind giving her some benefits.
Tom was used to being arrogant. He was unwilling to contact Amanda personally. so his assistant could only brace himself.
The result wasn’t too good, Amanda tactfully rejected him. She said that she wanted to work with an ordinary celebrity and that the resources on hand were too small, so it wasn’t suitable for a powerful celebrity like Tom.
“Amanda actually dared to refuse me!” Tom’s face immediately turned cold.

The assistant quickly persuaded, “Mr. Grant, don’t be angry. What Amanda said makes sense. She only worked with female celebrities previously, and her connections are not suitable for male celebrities. Moreover, you didn’t talk to her personally, so she doesn’t know your future plans. She probably feels that she’s not capable enough and is afraid of delaying you.”
“Well, that makes sense.” Tom nodded. “Then make an appointment. I’ll talk to her myself.
After Amanda and Tom met, they had a simple talk and reached an agreement to cooperate.
Amanda would not be Tom’s agent. She would only be in charge of his fashion. resources. As for the film contract, it was still in the hands of Tom’s own team. After reaching an agreement, Tom was in a good mood and asked about Kelly’s
matters.
“Amanda, you have put in a lot of effort for my fashion resources. I also want to return the favor. Don’t you have a female celebrity in your studio? It just so happens that I’m acting in a movie recently, so I can give her a small role to act,” Tom said in a benevolent tone.
Female celebrities from a girl band had not had a smooth transition to film and television. They would be criticized for their background and acting skills. Therefore, Tom felt that a small role was really not bad. If it wasn’t for Amanda, he wouldn’t say it at all.
Amanda smiled and politely said to Tom, “You’ve really put in a lot of effort. Let me thank you on behalf of Kelly first. However, Kelly has already gone on to act in a television drama. Her role is very important, so I’m afraid she won’t have time to help you this time. You know that she’s not professional and her acting skills still need to be trained. She doesn’t dare to do it. Let her act out this role first.”
“A television drama?” Tom’s tone was disdainful. “It can’t be a modern low–budget. drama, right? She’s not the female lead, is she? It’s better to act less of such dramas.”
“No,” Amanda said softly. “It’s a famous action film, Kelly is an important female
lead.”
Tom was instantly stunned and did not react for a moment. After a while, he asked in shock, “Is it Matt’s drama?”
“That’s right.” Amanda nodded.
“Impressive.” Tom was really surprised.
Matt’s action films were very famous. Basically, every one of them would become. popular. Moreover, the story of this film was extremely wide. It was very popular, and the character was even more outstanding.
No matter who acted in it, they would be able to be popular. This resource was

really not bad.
It was unknown how many companies and actresses who had been famous for a long time wanted to compete in this role. Kelly actually got this role.
Realizing this, Tom could not help but feel embarrassed.
Compared to this good role, an important female lead, the small role he had just given was not a big deal at all.
Tom was really embarrassed and continued to say, “How about this? The Biesh Charity Party is about to start. I’ll bring her in.”
Amanda said, “Well, this…”
“What’s wrong?” Tom was unhappy. “She doesn’t want to go? That girl is too. insensible. The Biesh Charity Party is the top in the fashion industry. She…” Before he could finish, Amanda interrupted him in embarrassment. “Mr. Grant, don’t worry about her. She has already taken the cover of the Biesh, which happens to be the charity party this time. She has an invitation herself.” Tom was speechless. He was very embarrassed.

Chapter 377
Tom had been used to smooth sailing for half his life, so he seemed a little naive. Even though he was in the entertainment industry, he was well protected by the people arranged by the First Elder.
But he wasn’t a fool.
It took him a long time to realize that Kelly was extraordinary. He looked up and fiddled with a cigar with his fingertips. He asked, “Who’s her backer?”
Kelly was indeed beautiful, but there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry. People didn’t pay much attention to them. They were nothing.
There were also many people who had failed soon and disappeared from the entertainment industry after becoming famous.
At first, Tom really didn’t take Kelly seriously. After hearing Amanda talk about these two people, he finally took it seriously.
There was nothing to hide. Amanda directly said, “I don’t know the details. I only know that the relationship between Kelly and the fiancée of Daniel is very close.” “Who? Olivia?” Tom’s expression changed.
He held the cigar and tapped it with his fingertips. He was used to this action. when he was thinking.
After Amanda left, Tom immediately instructed his assistant to investigate the relationship between Olivia and Kelly.
He was just worrying about how to deal with Olivia when Kelly appeared. Kelly might be a good breakthrough and an important role in his plan.
He could use this opportunity to deal with Olivia in the entertainment industry and know how capable Olivia was.
The assistant moved quickly and soon found out about the relationship between Olivia and Kelly.
The two of them had known each other for many years. After Kelly’s adoptive parents met with an accident, it had always been Olivia who had raised her. When Kelly was young, she had always been overseas. She only returned to the country. when she was 18 years old.
Upon hearing the news, Tom was pleasantly surprised. “She was raised by Olivia? Their relationship is really too close!”
He thought, ‘I am so lucky!‘
Tom slammed his palm out of excitement. This was simply a gift from the god. He wanted to make good use of Kelly this time.
Thinking of this, Tom instructed his assistant, “Contact Matt and think of a way to
Billionaire’s Missing Darling.

let Kelly lose her role in the new movie.”
At the same time, at the Smith family’s villa.
Olivia also received news that someone was investigating Kelly.
“Who is it?” Olivia leaned against the sofa and looked up. Her gaze was cold and indifferent.
Elena replied, “It’s Tom.”
“Got it.” Olivia nodded and did not take it to heart at all. She was not even willing to ask her one more sentence.
On the other hand, Kelly was very nervous when she knew it. Her beautiful big eyes were filled with worry, and her gaze was extremely concerned. “Olivia, did I cause you any trouble?” she asked with anxiety.
Kelly lowered her head. “I was too careless. How could I expose my relationship with you?”
“It’s just a small matter.” Olivia raised her hand and patted the little girl’s soft head. comfortingly.
Although the two of them were about the same age, Kelly was still a little girl she raised. Olivia knew her personality very well.
Kelly was usually very smart. But as long as the matter involved Olivia, Kelly would immediately be anxious and nervous.
“I’ve never thought of hiding our relationship from the beginning. There’s not need to do so.” Olivia patted her and comforted her. “Don’t worry, I can protect you.”
“I’m worried about you.” Kelly held her chin. “What if Tom uses me to deal with you? Or do something strange to me?”
Hearing this, Olivia looked sideways, her cold eyes showing a little confusion. “What kind of strange thing will he do?”
Kelly extended her finger and gave an example. “For example, suppressing my work, intercepting resources, defaming me, and so on.”
Olivia smiled when she heard that. “What’s the use of that? If you really can’t stay in the entertainment industry, at most, you will just change your career and stop being a celebrity.”
In Olivia’s opinion, Tom racking his brains to deal with Kelly was really useless. There was no benefit at all. It was just a waste of effort.
Kelly suddenly understood. “That’s right. It’s useless to make trouble for me. At most, I’ll leave the entertainment industry. However…”
She frowned again. “What if he uses me to deal with you?”
‘Silly girl!” Olivia raised her hand and knocked on Kelly’s head. “Don’t think too much. You won’t be my weakness. If you’re my weakness, then Tom is the Grant family’s First Elder’s weakness. Bettany is Alexander’s weakness. There are many

Billionaire’s Missing Darling

people in the Grant family. They have many weaknesses. This is not a problem at
all.
“If Tom really wants to use you, it means that he’s very stupid. There’s no need to care about such a stupid person.”
Olivia was a very smart person. Sometimes, she could not understand Tom’s thoughts.
After all, from Olivia’s point of view, it was better for Tom to focus on improving his strengths instead of spending time dealing with the unimportant ones.
For example, the First Elder had a total of seven sons. Even if they were all killed, the First Elder still had his nephew.
What Olivia had to do was ruin the Grant family’s foundation, not waste time. dealing with people related to the First Elder.
Kelly was the same. She was just someone related to Olivia. Olivia had many such people around her.
Could it be that Tom was going to deal with them one by one?
Destroy the leader and the gang will collapse. This was common knowledge. Olivia had never seen anyone who wanted to kill someone, instead of piercing their heart, he had to beat their feet.
Olivia’s clear explanation made Kelly realize that she thought too much. She could not help but stick out her tongue.
“Olivia, you’re amazing,” Kelly said coquettishly to Olivia.
Just as she was acting cute, she received a call from her agent, Amanda, saying that the new role was gone.
Kelly was stunned and subconsciously looked at Olivia.
Olivia also raised her eyebrows. Tom was really planning to deal with Kelly.
“Olivia, what should we do?” Kelly blinked.
Olivia tilted her head and said unhurriedly, “Then you can find another role. There are other television dramas being filmed. You can give it a try.”
Kelly had already finished more than half of the scenes. Many of the scenes were together with the male lead, so it was very difficult to change the role. Tom had taken out a lot of resources and even agreed to make a cameo appearance. Only then did Matt manage to change Kelly’s role.
But no matter what, it was still a blow to Kelly. Tom was very satisfied and happy. Unfortunately, his happiness only lasted for a day. The next day, another famous production team announced that Kelly would join the production team to play another important role.
Tom was so angry that he smashed the glass.
The new role had more scenes than before and was more outstanding.

“No, we can’t let her be smug.” Tom’s face turned cold. He instructed his assistant, “Contact this production team and ask them to replace Kelly.”
The assistant was about to cry. “Mr. Grant, in order to do that, you’ve already
given them two good resources. Now, you only have one luxury brand and the movie you’re joining in.”
The implication was that they had no more resources.
Tom did not mind. “Use the luxury brand first.
The assistant left with a long face. Although Tom had lost the deal, Kelly had been replaced again.
“Mr. Grant, when are you going to start working? Felix has been urging you.” The assistant asked softly. Felix was an internationally renowned director. Even though Tom was an outstanding actor, he had spent a lot of effort fighting for Felix’s film. Tom frowned. “Have he found the female lead?” Felix was picky. He had never found a suitable female lead, so Tom did not join the production team.
The assistant nodded. “Yes, yes, he found it.”
“Alright,” Tom agreed. “Let’s join the team then.”
Tom let Kelly lose two good roles. Presumably. Kelly would not be able to find a good production team for the time being. Tom did not have to worry about her for the time being.
Tom joined the production team the next day. Felix was very happy to see him. He pulled Tom and said. “Come here. Come and meet our female lead. I took a long time to choose her.”
Felix’s face was filled with smiles. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this female lead.
Tom was also willing to see the new female lead. He looked over with a smile and saw a familiar beautiful face.
“Mr. Grant, I’m Kelly Sebastian. Nice to meet you.
Tom was speechless. ‘Fuck!”

Olivia did not take Tom seriously, but since the other party had already planned to deal with her, she could not remain indifferent.
Therefore, she personally took action and used this matter to tell Kelly an important principle, “This is called using others‘ strength to counterattack.” She used Tom’s strength to counterattack.
Didn’t Tom want to change Kelly’s role and spend a lot of resources on it? Then, Olivia and Kelly would obtain these resources and use Tom’s resources to continuously advance.
Heard this, Kelly’s eyes lit up. “Olivia, you’re amazing.”
Olivia scratched the tip of Kelly’s nose. “It’s not that I’m good, but Tom’s resources. helped a lot. You should be grateful to him.”
Kelly smiled mischievously. “I understand.”
After meeting Tom, Kelly’s tone was sincere. “Mr. Grant, it’s all thanks to your help that I can be where I am today. First, I used the two resources you gave me in exchange for a new role. Then, I used the luxury endorsement to exchange for an interview with Felix.”
When Tom heard this, he was so angry that his expression was ugly!
There were so many people around. Tom couldn’t get angry with Kelly, but when he returned to the hotel, he immediately called Jarron and asked in a questioning tone, “How’s the matter going? Are you confident in snatching Olivia’s position as the family head?”
When Jarron answered the call, Gillian was looking up information on the computer. When she heard this, she leaned over and gestured for Jarron to put on speakerphone.
She said word by word. “The Smith family will hold a great banquet at the end of each year. The Smith family’s head will hold it. At that time, the members of the Smith family will return.
“Isaac had previously stipulated that the head of the Smith family was not static. If the head of the Smith family endangered the interests of the family and lost the respect of the people, as long as more than half of the family members agreed, the head of the family could be removed.
“However, this is only to remove the family head from her position. As for the division of wealth between the Smith family, it’s very complicated.”
As she spoke, Gillian handed the information to Jarron and gestured for him to speak.
Jarron flipped through the information and said, “The Smith family’s assets are divided into three parts. One is the Smith Hospital, the second is the dividends.
10:561
Billionaire’s Missing Darling

from the Smith family’s industry, and the third is some jewelry, paintings, land,
and cash.
The ownership of the second part is relatively clear. Only the head of the family could gain the dividends. If Olivia is not the head of the family, she naturally could not have the dividends. The ownership of the third part is also clear. It is Isaac’s private property. The assets he left for Olivia are Olivia’s. We could not take it back.
“The first part, the Smith Hospital, is more complicated. Legally, the hospital belongs to Olivia, but if Olivia is not the head of the Smith family, she could not legitimately inherit the hospital.
“Therefore, I need the Grant family’s help to find a way to invalidate the will that Isaac left behind.”
“That’s too much trouble.” Tom felt dizzy and his expression turned ugly. “The two of you, think about it clearly. I ask you to gain the position of the head of the Smith family. It is not for the Smith family’s money. Regardless of whether it’s the hospital or Isaac’s private property, the Grant family doesn’t care at all. What I want is the title of the family head.”
Tom tapped his fingertip on his lips and instructed, “Continue to win over the Smith family people’s support. I’ll think of a way. I’ll contact you later.”
With that, he hung up.
After hanging up, Tom called the First Elder and talked about the Smith family. “Dad, the Smith Hospital is a little complicated. According to the law, the Smith. Hospital is indeed inherited by Olivia. It can’t be taken back at all. I don’t care about this hospital. However, if I can’t inherit the Smith Hospital, as the head of the Smith family, I feel that it’s a little unconvincing.”
The First Elder was indeed experienced. He had a good idea after listening to it briefly. He closed his and said calmly, “That’s easy. You can set up another
eyes Smith Hospital and say that the original one is fake.”
“Dad, you’re awesome!” Tom’s eyes lit up. The First Elder was indeed experienced. However, Tom frowned again. “Olivia’s Smith Hospital has been in the limelight recently. Our newly established hospital might be weak.”
First Elder opened his eyes, which were filled with light.
He chuckled and said mockingly, “You’re in the wrong. Olivia used the Smith family’s power and name to make the Smith Hospital have such a good reputation. If she wasn’t the head of the Smith family, without the Smith family’s connections, do you think those famous doctors like Dr. Moss would still care about her?”
“That’s right, I didn’t think of that!” Tom was overjoyed. He clapped his hands. repeatedly. “I’ll go prepare for the banquet now. At the banquet, I’ll remove Olivial from the position of the family head.”

about this matter. Before hanging up, he added, “If you have any provies, asn me in time.”
“Got it.”
In the Smith family’s villa, Blake and Yanis had arrived.
The two of them did not look too good. Their expressions were very gloomy.
Olivia led Andrew back from the door and saw the two of them sitting on the sofa with their eyebrows lowered.
“Mr. Yanis, Ms. Blake,” Olivia spoke first.
Andrew followed behind Olivia. He immediately raised his little head and greeted them cutely, “Hello.”
Blake bent down and touched Andrew’s head. She smiled and said, “Andrew, hello.”
Andrew was very perceptive. He could tell that Yanis and Blake had something on, so he sat obediently at the side and did not say a word.
Yanis glanced at Andrew and thought to himself, “This little boy is quite smart. It’s a pity that he isn’t Olivia’s biological son.”
After Olivia returned, Blake talked about the banquet. “Olivia, the situation is not good. Jarron and Gillian contacted almost every person and gave a lot of benefits to them. Family members like Healix who have rich industries would gain a lot of benefits. For ordinary members, they do not need to give the dividends to the head of the family.
“There are also some family members who do not have good conditions. Gillian and Jarron promised that they would set up a new hospital. Gillian would arrange jobs for them. Those who are willing to do business would gain money and support.
“There are already many people who have promised to support Gillian and Jarron and even look forward to Jarron taking over. We are in a disadvantageous position now. Even with the support of Tracy, Healix, and others, we can’t compare to them.”
Speaking of this, Blake was worried. “What should we do, Olivia? Jarron is already contacting family members. He will hold the banquet next weekend. We have to think of a solution before that.”
Before Olivia could speak, Andrew looked up with a puzzled expression. “Blake, Olivia is the head of the Smith family. Shouldn’t she be the one to decide when to hold the banquet?”
Blake was stunned.
Olivia also smiled and patted Andrew’s little head. “Even Andrew knows that whether to hold a banquet is decided by the family head. Jarron and Gillian don’t have a right to do this.”

Blake looked up. “What do you mean, Olivia?”

Olivia sneered. “I won’t attend the banquet. There’s no such thing as a banquet this year. The situation is different. Now that I’m the head of the Smith family, they have to follow my rules.”
“Olivial” Blake was shocked.
Even Yanis was in disbelief. He looked at Olivia in surprise. “Olivia, you…” Olivia was going to fight head–on with the Smith family members!
Olivia glanced at the two of them indifferently and said in an extremely indifferent tone, “I will never be threatened by the Smith family members. Since I’m the family head, they have to listen to me. If my words don’t count and I have to be threatened by the family members, what’s the difference between me and a puppet?”
Blake was anxious. “But…”
Olivia swiftly interrupted her. “How many people are there in the Smith family?” Blake said, “Including the elderly and children, it’s almost ten thousand.”
Olivia moved her eyes. Her eyes were cold and emotionless. “There are too many people in the Smith family. It’s time to drive some of them away. Since they’re not satisfied with me, they can leave.”
Yanis and Blake were shocked when they heard this. Was Olivia abandoning some of the family members?

Chapter 379
Regarding the Smith family’s matter, Olivia had long prepared to deal with it. She was hiding her identity now and staying in Evervale, but she couldn’t hide her identity forever. She was going to show up at the research institute’s conference
next year.
At that time, she would have to put most of her attention to the research institute. In addition, she had to pay more attention to Daniel and Andrew. She did not have time to care about the Smith family’s matters.
This time, she could use this opportunity to deal with the Smith family’s matter and drive away some of the family members with bad thoughts and bad morals. At first, Yanis and Blake thought that Olivia was going to abandon some of the family members. After hearing her explanation, they heaved a sigh of relief. Blake was curious. “Olivia, you’ve already prepared to deal with the Smith family. Why didn’t you make a move earlier? Why did you wait until now?” Olivia was peeling an orange and feeding it to Andrew before saying, “It’s too troublesome to differentiate the family members one by one.”
Blake was stunned. She looked at Yanis. The two of them said in unison, “So, you’re using Jarron and Gillian to help you differentiate between the loyal person and the foolish person?”
Olivia nodded and said calmly, “That’s all they’re useful for. With that, at least they didn’t let Isaac down.”
Yanis was speechless.
Blake was also speechless.
When they came out of the living room, they were still in a daze out of surprise. Blake turned to look at Yanis and suddenly said in a weak voice, “Yanis, I think our previous worries were completely groundless. Olivia has prepared everything in advance.”
Yanis’s eyes darkened. “Olivia, she is…”
Yanis thought, ‘It is really too unexpected. Olivia is much smarter than I have imagined.
From the first day Olivia took over the Smith family, she had already come up with a comprehensive plan. Her judgment of the human heart and human nature has already reached a superb level.
Blake seemed to have thought of something. She suddenly shivered and said to Yanis, “Yanis, tell me, how did Olivia know that Jarron and Gillian would work with the Grant family and compete with her for the Smith family?”
She thought, ‘Could it be that Olivia could predict the future?‘
10:17
Yanis pondered for a moment. “It’s just that Olivia was good at judging their human nature and then she made a prediction. The Grant family is sneaky and likes to play tricks behind others. If Olivia is disobedient, the Grant family will definitely think of a way to subdue Olivia. As for Jarron and Gillian…”
Yanis closed his eyes. “Olivia grew up with the two of them. How can she not see through them? She is the only person who knows them best!”
Speaking of this, Yanis could not help but sigh. His eyes flashed with pity. After hesitating a few times, he finally turned around and instructed Blake, “Find a time to persuade Jarron and Gillian to give up everything they are doing now and go overseas to live their own lives. Tell them not to get involved in the Smith family’s matter in the future.”
Blake’s expression did not look good. “Those are two ingrates. Why should we care about them?”
Yanis said, “After all, they grew up around us. We can’t just let them suffer.” Blake didn’t say a word.
Yanis continued, “Olivia’s thoughts are getting more and more complicated. Even you and I can’t see through her now. She’s growing fast.”
Speaking of this, Yanis lowered his voice and whispered into Blake’s ear, “Only we know about today’s matter. It can’t be spread to outsiders. Olivia should have another supporter that is not inferior to the Smith family!”
“What?” Blake looked up in shock.
The huge shock made her lose control of her expression and she could not recover for a long time.
Yanis frowned. His eyes were deep. “I don’t know who the force behind Olivia is, but I can confirm that this force is several times stronger than the Smith family. “It’s not just you and I who can’t know Olivia’s thoughts. Even Isaac has misjudged Olivia. You and I can’t imagine how complicated Olivia’s thoughts are.”
With that, Yanis stared at Blake. “Olivia is too smart. Jarron and Gillian are not her match at all. The three of them grew up together. Olivia knows them very well.
“In the past, their relationship was still good. Olivia gave the two of them benefits continuously so that they could live better and better. Now that their feelings are gone, everything instantly turns into trouble.
“Olivia might not hurt the two of them on account of Isaac, but she definitely won’t let them off easily.”
“Really?” Blake shook her head. She could not believe it. In her heart, Olivia had always been smart and soft–hearted. How could she really deal with Jarron and Gillian?
She muttered, “Olivia is very soft–hearted, she…”
Yanis interrupted her coldly, “No matter how good her personality is, she can’t

stand the other party’s repeated provocations. Olivia is already tolerant enough. towards Jarron and Gillian. Think about it!”
Blake lowered her head. She still could not accept it. “You mean… You mean that Olivia wants to hurt Jarron and Gillian?”
Yanis shook his head and said helplessly, “With her status, I don’t think Olivia cares about Jarron and Gillian at all. Olivia will not hurt Jarron and Gillian. However, she will just not protect them anymore.”
Hearing this, Blake also sighed.
Blake really felt that Jarron and Gillian were too good at causing trouble. Their lives were so good. Isaac doted on them, and Olivia was powerful and tolerant. Olivia almost gave them everything they wanted and protected them.
If the two of them could stop causing trouble, they would be living better. Unexpectedly, Jarron and Gillian were not satisfied..
Olivia finished peeling the orange and went to the study to read the information. When Daniel returned, he took Andrew and went upstairs. He trained Andrew in
secret.
Daniel had been training Andrew for a few days and it was very effective. At this moment, Daniel was testing Andrew.
“The first question.” Daniel stretched out a finger with a serious expression. “If someone tries to drive a wedge between you and Olivia during Christmas and says that she’s your stepmother, what will you do?”
Andrew raised his little head and said in a straightforward tone, “Everyone who says it is the enemy. I should be cruel to the enemy who drives a wedge between
- us.
“Good.” Daniel applauded him and gestured. “Continue.”
Andrew nodded his little head. “If the other party is a child, I will just ignore him. and won’t play with him. If the other party is a woman, I’ll say it out loud and embarrass her. If the other party is a man. I’ll run quickly and come back to tell you. You will deal with him.”
“Awesome!” Daniel asked Andrew a few more questions. When he saw Andrew answering smoothly, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He patted Andrew’s little face and said solemnly, “Olivia is your mother. We, as her husband and son, have to protect her, understand? Andrew, you’re already a man. You should also take the responsibility of protecting Olivia.”
“I know.” Andrew wore a serious face as if he had accepted some important
mission.
After the test ended, Daniel took out a box of threads. The two of them faced each. other and used the threads to make some bracelets.
The two of them made three beautiful bracelets..

One was placed on Daniel’s phone, one was on Andrew’s wrist, and the other was for Olivia.
Andrew held the beautiful bracelet and his face was almost touching it. He was honeymouthed as he said, “Daddy, you are amazing.”
Daniel patted Andrew and said, “I’m going to the washroom. Wait for me here.” With that, he stood up and left.
When he reached the washroom, Daniel looked at himself in the mirror and was very satisfied. He was still as handsome as ever.
‘In a while, I will take this bracelet to Livy. Livy will definitely be overjoyed.’ Daniel thought.
After coming out of the washroom, Daniel realized that Andrew was missing. He went out to look around and finally found Andrew at the door of the study. “Olivia, this is a beautiful bracelet that I made for you.” The little guy held up the bracelet and handed it to Olivia as if he were presenting a treasure. Olivia was overjoyed. Her eyes reddened. “Did you make it yourself?”
Andrew blushed and was a little embarrassed. “I didn’t make it well. Olivia, don’t mind.”
“Oh, no! You really do it well! I like it very much!” Olivia said happily.
Olivia was overjoyed. She hugged Andrew and spun around. “You’re really my little angel.”
At the other end of the corridor, Daniel almost crushed the armrest. He gritted his teeth and said, “Andrew, unfilial son!”

Daniel took Andrew to the corner of the wall and interrogated him aggressively. “How can you say that you made the gift by yourself? I am the one who made it!” Andrew broke free from Daniel’s shackles and tidied his clothes. Then, he sat on the small stool and straightened his chubby back.
He didn’t answer Daniel’s question. Instead, he tilted his head and opened his bright eyes, he asked, “Then why did you help me with the handicraft homework given by the kindergarten teacher, but in the end, you said that I completed it by myself?”
Daniel was stunned by this question.
Andrew stretched out ten short, chubby fingers and said seriously, “I made the bracelet. But because I’m young and my hands are small, I can’t do it well in many aspects. So I need your help.”
At this point, he added, “Olivia also knows that without your help, I wouldn’t be able to make such an exquisite and beautiful gift myself.”
Daniel raised his eyebrows. “Then why didn’t you mention anything about my contribution in front of Olivia?”
Upon hearing this, Andrew smiled. His cute mouth opened like an angel baby. “Because you taught me to seize the initiative. Only the first person to give it away will leave a deep impression. Daddy, you taught me this. Have you forgotten?” Daniel was speechless.
‘What kind of little monster is this?‘ Daniel thought helplessly.
“I did teach you, but I didn’t ask you to use what I taught you to deal with me!” Daniel gritted his teeth and he was angry.
Andrew slowly looked up. His side profile was almost the same as Olivia’s. Hist tone was puzzled. “Daddy, I didn’t deal with you. You taught me to seize the initiative. Therefore, when I saw the bracelet, I wanted to give it to Olivia as soon. as possible.”
At this point, he rubbed his nose and looked very aggrieved. “Daddy, are you unhappy with what I’m doing?”
Daniel’s anger disappeared suddenly. He stared at Andrew in a daze.
Andrew’s intelligence was exactly the same as Olivia’s. He was smart but did not know it. Others had racked their brains and experienced many hardships to understand this logic, but Andrew knew it easily.
When he saw a simple thing, he could immediately think of others. It was almost instinctive.
When Andrew didn’t understand, he was innocent and cute. Once he understood. something, he figured it out immediately and instantly applied it to everything

around him.
This instinctive intelligence was not obvious when he was younger.
Because the people by Andrew’s side were all nannies and maids, what they taught him was simple life knowledge.
However, as Andrew grew older, Daniel and Olivia accompanied him for a long time and taught him everything. Andrew was like a bookworm, crazily absorbing knowledge.
In just a few days, Daniel felt that Andrew was different. It was as if Andrew had suddenly become a smart adult.
Last month, Andrew was still a soft and cuddly little boy who liked to cry, laugh, and act cute. This month, he was already smart enough to think about deep problems.
He was unbelievably smart.
Originally, Daniel should have been happy that Andrew was smart, but his mood became heavier and heavier.
People who were too smart would suffer easily. He would rather Andrew be a simple–minded and slow–witted boy, rather than feel wronged due to thinking about his parents‘ matters. In fact, Olivia was like this when she was a child. Daniel should do it as soon as possible. Andrew was gradually growing up and becoming sensible. His thoughts were also gradually complicated. Daniel had to tell Olivia the truth before that.
Thinking of this, Daniel rubbed his temples and could not help but feel annoyed. “Daddy, what’s wrong with you?” Andrew blinked and looked concerned. “Is there something on your mind? You can tell me.”
Looking at Andrew acting like an adult. Daniel could not help but laugh. He raised his hand and wanted to pinch Andrew’s chubby little face.
However, just as he raised his hand, Andrew quickly dodged it.
Andrew frowned and looked unhappy. “Daddy, I’m not a kid now. You can’t do
this to me.”
“Can’t do what?” Daniel wanted to laugh, but when he saw Andrew’s exceptionally thoughtful eyes, he suddenly had an idea. A bold thought appeared in his mind. Once this thought appeared, he could not suppress it no matter what.
Even though Daniel reminded himself many times in his heart, ‘Andrew is only six years old, only six years old!
Daniel was very anxious and paced back and forth in front of the window.
Andrew held his chin with his chubby hands and sighed. “Daddy, you really have something on your mind. Tell me. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. I can keep a
secret.
Daniel looked down at him and did not say anything.
Andrew did not rush Daniel. He continued to hold his chin. Andrew was a very patient boy.
Finally, Daniel stopped after he walked for a while. Then, he squatted in front of Andrew with a serious expression. “Andrew, I want to tell you a secret. Only you and I know this secret. You can’t tell others.”
What an important secret!
Andrew clenched his fists and nodded seriously. “Don’t worry, Daddy.”
Daniel looked at Andrew and said solemnly, “Andrew, actually, Olivia is your biological mother.”
Andrew’s little face suddenly turned pale. His small chest heaved violently as if he were about to lose control of the emotions in his body.
However, his emotions were stable at such a young age. After being excited for a while, he calmed himself down.
He looked up at Daniel. “Daddy, are you lying to me?”
“No.” Daniel shook his head and sighed. “Olivia is indeed your biological mother. It’s just that she was sick and injured her head, so she lost her memory.”
“Head, do you know?” Daniel patted Andrew’s round little head.
Andrew hated Daniel’s childish behavior. He raised his head to avoid it and
cursed, “Dad, we’re talking about serious matters. Be serious.”
“Alright.” Daniel squeezed his fingers as an indescribable emotion appeared in his heart.
It turned out that when Andrew grew up, he really wouldn’t continue to call Daniel daddy. Instead, Andrew would call him dad.
These two words were clearly very similar, but they were completely different emotions. They also represented different stages of the child’s growth.
Of course, Andrew knew the meaning of Daniel’s words. He knew more than Daniel had imagined.
Andrew had read many books and played with human organ toys. He knew that the brain was precious and fragile and it was an important organ of the human body. There were many neurons in it that controlled parts of the human body such as consciousness, spirit, language, learning, memory, and intelligence.
“So, Olivia forgot me because she lost her memory, right?” Andrew squeezed his chubby hand and suppressed the grievance in his heart.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Daniel nodded. “Olivia is sick and has lost her memory. That’s why she forgot about us.”
Andrew did not understand. “Since she has lost her memory, Dad, why didn’t your tell her?”

Oh no, Daniel couldn’t let Andrew ask any more questions. The more Daniel said, the more mistakes he would make.
Daniel forcefully changed the topic. “So, Olivia is sick and doesn’t know that she is your mother, you can’t tell Olivia the truth. It will stimulate her and will affect her recovery. When she recovers, she will naturally recognize you.”
Upon hearing this, Andrew’s little face was extremely serious, as if he was thinking about some difficult problems.
Daniel did not dare to say much. After all, Andrew was too young. He had to be given time to slowly understand it.
