Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 514

At the Grant family hotel

Alexander sat in his wheelchair, his thin lips pursed tightly as he listened to Damian’s report.

“Mr. Alexander, our men in the Capitol Research Institute received news that Olivia had contacted Bard

and asked for the latest chip technology. I investigated deeper into this and found that Olivia handed

the chip technology to Jason Sprout of the Wayne Country’s Sprout family.

Jason Sprou?” Alexander raised his eyebrows in confusion.

“Since when did Olivia have anything to do with the Sprout family?” he thought.

Olivia had changed completely ever since she returned from the auction house in Wayne Country,

Although she did not change appearance or temperament–wise, she gave off a different feeling.

Moreover, she almost never interfered in the matters at the research institute and had been quietly

staying by Daniel’s side.

Daniel’s explanation was that Olivia was recuperating and needed time to rest.

Why wasn’t she staying in Evervale if she was recuperating? Why did she have to come to Wayne

Country and hand the chip technology to an unknown minor family?

Alexander could not figure out what Olivia was doing.

“Send someone to keep an eye on the Sprout family, Alexander ordered in a deep voice.

After giving the order, Alexander called Jeremy.

Jeremy had led his men to attack Olivia’s faction ever since her accident at the auction. Although they

did not manage to snatch the position of the dean of the research institute for themselves, they had

firmly occupied a certain status within the institute. There were nine departments in the research

institute, and he had snatched control over three of them.

Of the remaining six, three firmly supported Olivia and three remained neutral.

Jeremy had been rather worried for some time after Olivia returned. He thought that Olivia would attack

him, but he did not expect Olivia to do nothing.

At this point, Jeremy had completely stabilized his power within the institute.

Jeremy subconsciously trembled when he received Alexander’s call.

The Grant family’s Alexander was too terrifying. Originally, the Watson family had fallen out with the

Grant family and did not dare to compete with Olivia for control of the research institute. It was

Alexander who found him and secretly provided him with a lot of support. Only then did Jeremy

manage to regain a foothold in the research institute.

“Mr. Alexander, Jeremy greeted, his tone respectful. “What can I do for you?”

Alexander leaned back in his wheelchair. His gaze was cold, and his tone was like a venomous snake.

“How’s the progress at the research institute?”

“Mr. Alexander, it is very difficult to shake Olivia’s position in the research institute, Jeremy said with a

sigh, “Not many people cared about politics and governance in a place like this. Most researchers are

very simple–minded. They don’t care abour

power struggles and profits. All they value is a person’s academic ability. They will support whoever is

capable and can promote the development of scientific research.

“The three neutral professors are all famous old professors in the industry, and they have students all

over the world. They aren’t moved by the benefits I offered at all.”

Threaten them if bribery doesn’t work.” Alexander was getting impatient..

Chapter 514

He had become more and more irritable ever since he broke his legs. He had no patience at all.

His tone was malicious and fierce. “Doesn’t Professor Tomaz from the Mathematics and Physics

Department have a granddaughter in the entertainment industry? Get someone to kidnap her!”

Jeremy was speechless.

“Mr. Alexander is getting more and more reckless,” he thought.

Jeremy wanted to take over the research institute, not destroy it. He hesitated and said, “Things aren’t

that bad yet! Mr. Alexander, don’t worry. I have an idea.”

“What idea?” Alexander frowned.

“It’s about the chips, Jeremy explained. “My team has achieved a breakthrough in chip technology and

developed the latest generation of chips. They are thinner and more advanced than the previous ones

and have a larger storage capacity,

“Olivia got Bard to give the latest chip technology to the Sprout family. She must want to cooperate with

the Sprout family and make a huge profit.

“We can disrupt their plans by secretly manufacturing our chips. We can release our better chips after

the Sprout family invested a large amount of money to produce their chips. That’ll bankrupt the Sprout

family.”

“Good! That is a great plan!” Alexander slammed his hand on the table. “We’ll do as you say. This will

not only cost Olivia a lot of money, but it will also push down her prestige in the research institute.”

After staying in Wayne Country for so many days, there was finally something to be happy about.

Alexander exited the study after hanging up the phone. He looked around before asking coldly.

“Where’s Bettany?”

The servant was shocked and immediately replied, “Mr. Alexander, Miss Fulham has returned to her

room. I’ll get her to

come out now.”

Bettany walked out of the room and couldn’t help but shiver when she saw Alexander.

“Are you afraid of me?” Alexander glared at Bettany, his gaze as sharp as a sword.

Bettany shook her head in a panic and her body trembled violently.

Alexander smiled cruelly when he saw this. “Didn’t you like me very much? Didn’t you pretend to be

someone else to get close to me? Why are you afraid of me now?”

As he spoke, he hooked Bettany’s chin with his fingertip. He moved his finger back and forth on her

face.

His cold fingertips slid across Bettany’s face like a venomous snake. Bettany was so frightened that

she did not dare to breathe. She was afraid that she had provoked Alexander.

“Boring” Bettany’s fear fored Alexander. He had actually been deceived by such a timid, mediocre, and

useless woman.

Alexander sneered and retracted his finger. He said coldly, “Go wash the clothes.”

Bettany did not dare to refuse. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom. There was a pile of clothes soaking

in a large basin. waiting to be washed by her.

She was used to Alexander’s punishment. She would do anything as long as he did not hit her or take

her life.

The clothes in the basin were rather stiff and extremely difficult to scrub. Bettany’s hand tendons were

injured, so she could not exert any strength at all. She had to use all the strength in her body to scrub

the clothes.

Alexander sat at the door and watched her effortfully wash the clothes. He only left when he felt bored.

Chapter 514

Bettany’s body withered from exhaustion as soon as Alexander left. She rubbed her sore wrist and

stood up.

A servant hurried forward and wiped Bettany’s hands with a towel.

Speaking of which. Bettany was in a very contradictory situation. On one hand, Alexander often

punished her and put her down, trying his best to humiliate her. On the other hand, Alexander did not

restrict her actions. It was as if she was still the esteemed guest of the Grant family.

Bettany did not know what Alexander meant with his actions either.

Bettany asked the maid after she wiped her hands clean, “Did you find out what I asked you?”

The maid looked troubled. “Miss Fulham, I’ve contacted all the hospitals in Wayne Country. No one can

treat the broken tendons in your hands”

“Impossible.” Bettany looked irritated. “It must be because you didn’t do your best. How can there be no

solution? There are so many amazing doctors in the world. I don’t believe that no one can cure my

hand.

Back then, Olivia had easily treated her tendons by stabbing her a few times with silver needles over

several days.

The maid lowered her head and remained silent.

Bettany became even more frustrated when she saw this.
