Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 164

Olivia did not go to the hospital that day. Instead, she stayed in the hotel to keep Andrew company and

read some books with him.

Since she had learned more about Isaac’s condition, there was no need for her to stay by his side all

the time.

Andrew was now able to recognize many words and could even read a book by himself. His favorite

book was “Infinite Whys“. Whenever he came across something he did not understand, he would ask

Olivia. While they were engrossed in their reading, someone knocked on the door.

The visitor tapped politely on the door. The knocking sound did not display any haste.

Olivia thought it was the housekeeping service from the hotel and called out, “I don’t need any

housekeeping service.”

The knocking stopped briefly before a man’s voice was heard.

“Olivia, it’s me.”

It was Jarron. Olivia put the book down the book with a quizzical look. Andrew obediently got down

from the chair and ran to the door. “I’ll open the door.”

Both Jarron and Gillian were standing at the door. They were surprised when they saw it was Andrew

who opened the door.

“You must be Mr. Andrew from the Sullivan family.” Jarron leaned over and stroked Andrew’s head..

Olivia walked over and said to Andrew, “Andrew, greet the visitors.”

“Hello.” Andrew’s voice was crisp and clear.

Jaroon was even more astonished.

Although Isaac mentioned in passing once that Olivia was dating Daniel of Evervale, Jarron did not

expect both of them to have grown so close over a short period.

They were now so close that Daniel even entrusted his son to Olivia.

Jarron figured Daniel would not leave Andrew with Olivia if they were not on close terms.

“What brings you here today?” Olivia made way for both of them to enter

the hotel room.

Seeing the visitors, Andrew picked up his book “Infinite Whys” and was about to leave the room.

“Olivia, I’ll go back to my room first.”

Olivia nodded. The door remained open. It was only after Andrew returned to his room that the sound

of the door closing was heard in the corridor.

A hint of sarcasm flickered in Gillian’s eyes when she saw how concerned Olivia was about Andrew.

Olivia appeared to be a very capable stepmother.

Isaac always said that Olivia was someone who never harbored ill intentions and valued relationships.

However, to Gillian, Olivia was only capable of sucking up to the rich and influential.

The Taylor family had just acknowledged her as their daughter not too long ago. Yet now, she was

already ingratiating herself with the Sullivan family.

Gillian lowered her head and took a sip of water. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile. She was

gloating at the thought of what was going to happen to Olivia next.

One day, the Sullivan family would learn that Olivia was no longer the beloved granddaughter of the

Smith family and had been disowned by the family.

Gillian wondered if the Sullivan family would still accept her after knowing the truth.

No prestigious family would accept a girl with an ordinary family background.

After closing the door, Olivia walked back to the room and sat opposite Gillian and Jarron.

Jarron placed a gray–colored invitation card embossed in gold on the coffee table. He then pushed it

toward Olivia.

Olivia picked up the invitation card and looked at it. It was an invitation to the banquet.

She looked up in disbelief. For a moment, her hand that was holding the invitation card stiffened. “Is

this invitation card for me?”

Olivia wondered if Gillian had changed her mind.

Jarron nodded. “This invitation care is specially prepared for you. Gillian

wanted to wait for me to come back so we can give this to you together.” Olivia looked down at the card

calmly. No one could tell what she was thinking. However, her expression revealed a quiet, tender glow

in her eyes, hinung at a hidden emotional response.

“Oh, by the way.” Jarron frowned as if he suddenly thought of something. “Olivia, do you remember the

book, ‘Mind Of A King‘ that was kept in Grandpa Isaac’s study? I can’t seem to find it.”

“Mind Of A King‘?” Olivia had a good memory. After thinking for a moment, she remembered what

Jarron was looking for. “Oh, do you mean ‘Heart Of A Lion“?”

Jarron was taken aback.

Olivia did not think much about Jarron’s reaction. “I don’t know where I’ve left it. I may have thrown it

away. Just buy another one if you want to read it. That one is just a selection, and there are spelling

errors in that book.”

Gillian was appalled by Olivia’s flippant response.

Unable to tolerate Olivia’s behavior any longer, she forcefully pushed away Jarron’s hand that was

holding her down. Gillian stood up and glared angrily at Olivia. “Stop pretending! Where have you

hidden the book? Are you threatening me with the book so you can get an invitation to the banquet?

Well, you’ve got the invitation card now. Give me the book.”

Olivia was baffled.

She frowned and regarded Gillian with a chilly expression. “What are you talking about?”

“You’re still pretending, aren’t you?” Gillian was so angry that her body was shaking like a leaf. She

gave Olivia an icy stare. “How can you be so evil? You’re very mean. Do you think you can control me

by hiding the book? Let me make this clear to you. It’s impossible. The Smith family belongs to me.

Grandpa Isaac entrusted the Smith family to me. You have nothing…”

She was about to say further when Jarron hugged her and made her sit on the couch. “Gillian, calm

down!”

Jarron then turned to Olivia, looking helpless. “Olivia, just give her the book.”

“What book?” Olivia blinked her eyes, wondering why she always got

involved in such bizarre situations.

“Olivia!” Jarron suddenly raised his voice, casting a cold look on Olivia. “Stop all this nonsense. Hand

over ‘Mind Of A King‘ to Gillian.”

“Don’t beg her!” Gillian was furious. It seemed as though Jarron suffered a great injustice. “Report her

to the police. Call the police immediately. Tell them the Smith family has lost a very important book.

Since she’s so shameless, I shan’t spare her any humiliation. The Smith family now belongs to me.

She has nothing to do with the Smith family. She can’t take away anything from the family.”

Gillian eyed Olivia with hostility.

She wanted to make known to everyone that the Smith family had severed ties with Olivia, ensuring

that Olivia could no longer leverage the Smith family’s reputation for personal gain.

Jarron was at a loss for what to do. After much effort, he managed to

calm Gillian down.

He looked at Olivia in disappointment. “Gillian always said you were a selfish person, but I spoke up for

you. I told her you were young, and you were not able to think sensibly. However, I didn’t expect you to

do this to us.”

Jarron could not continue any further. Rubbing his face with both hands, he went on, “When you were

young, Grandpa Isaac favored you. He shared with you ‘Mind Of A King,‘ a skill set designed to

develop your intelligence. However, he never passed on that knowledge to us. I have never once

complained about it because the book belongs to Grandpa Isaac. He has the right to teach those skills

to whomever he chooses.

“I didn’t blame you either because you were young and ignorant. Now that we’ve all grown up, you’re

still not sensible. How can you be so selfish to keep the book for yourself? You know that Gillian has

always envied you. She admires your intelligence. She’s envious that you can play the violin, painting,

and chess.

“However, she doesn’t want to compete with you. She’s also not finding fault with you. It has always

been her childhood dream to read the book. That’s all she wants. Why can’t you give in to her? Why

must you make things so difficult for us?”

Olivia finally understood what was going on.

She could not help but mock the chaotic scene in front of her, as well as the evident disappointment on

both Jarron and Gillian’s faces.

She wanted to laugh out loud.

Olivia wondered why she had not seen through Jarron and Gillian previously. Was she too blinded by

their relationship?

Olivia was at a loss for words. After staring at both of them for a long while, she finally said, “I am

amazed at both your intellect. One of you is a top international brain surgeon, and the other is an

outstanding pediatrician. You’re both highly educated and exceptionally intelligent. Yet you believe that

such a book exists. Do you think you can become smart immediately by reading the book?”
