“Which Mr. Sullivan?” Amelia did not react for a moment.
Liam ignored her and stood up, leaning on his cane as he walked outside. Samuel hesitated to go
forward and assist, but then he remembered that Emma was still lying on the sofa. He hurriedly asked,
“Liam, where are you going?”
Liam had not expected much from Samuel for a long time. However, his handling of the situation with
Olivia had deeply disappointed him.
For wealthy families like theirs, daughters were very precious. After they were carefully nurtured and
grown up, they could go out and get married. It could bring huge benefits to the family. But Samuel had
treated Olivia so callously, especially considering his affairs with a mistress and Emma, who was a
bastard child. He had such a narrow perspective.
He didn’t need Samuel to treat Olivia well, but he should at least maintain some semblance of dignity.
Samuel did not even know how to pretend.
To make Olivia marry a junior employee and give her a small dowry was a completely loss–making
transaction. He really dared to think about it.
Apart from satisfying his own pride and controlling desire, and making his mistress and bastard
daughter happy, there was no benefit to it.
Liam had always prioritized his own interests, and everything else came second. He did not expect
Samuel to be such a hothead.
Thankfully, Liam had his exceptional grandson William. Otherwise, he would not have been able to rest
easy until his last day.
For Liam, benefits were the most important consideration. Everything else had to come later.
Yvonne had connections to the renowned doctor Isaac, which is why Liam was leaning towards her and
allowed them to plot against Olivia. But now, a new figure had appeared behind Olivia, which was
Daniel.
The initially tilted balance was now back in equilibrium, and Olivia’s position even seemed slightly
elevated.
Liam had changed his attitude towards Olivia and started to protect her.
In any case, he would side with whoever was beneficial to the Taylor

family.
Everyone followed behind Liam and walked out together. Only Amelia did not move while cradling
Emma. She even asked her in a low voice, “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go upstairs and
rest?
Of course, Emma did not want to go upstairs. If she did, she wouldn’t be able to see Daniel.
She had always believed that Daniel’s interest in Olivia was due to his son’s attachment to Olivia, but
she hadn’t expected him to genuinely care for her.
Thinking of this, Emma’s heart felt like it was being gnawed by a rat, causing her chest and throat to
ache.
In the past, the Sullivan family was the same as the Taylor family. They were the four great families in
Evervale. They started with traditional medicine and with several centuries–old brands under their
name. The Sullivan family’s wealth was not the richest among the four great families. However, due to
its long history of commanding respect, it was considered the leading family.
The term “leading family” indicated the respect that the other three great families held for them, not
necessarily their actual strength.
But after Daniel took control of the Sullivan family, everything changed.
Those years coincided with rapid development and change. Daniel astutely seized the rise of the
internet during its peak and established Riotech Corporation. In just a few years, it rapidly grew to
become the largest internet company in the country and one of the top ones
overseas.
The market capitalization of Riotech Corporation alone surpassed the combined total of the Taylor,
Green, and Turner families.
If it weren’t for Daniel’s low–key nature and the fact that his traditional medicine business wasn’t listed,
he would have long become the richest person in the country.
Currently in Evervale, even individuals with seniority and experience like Liam would address Daniel
respectfully.
This type of person had personally come to the Sullivan family for Olivia. Emma felt an intense pang of
jealousy.
Following behind the group, Olivia walked slowly. As they started
walking, people were still conversing, but as they reached the doorway, a

silence fell.
Olivia followed the gaze of the crowd and saw a man leaning against a palm tree. His long legs were
slightly bent and his hands were in his pockets
He was wearing a silver–gray suit that had been wrinkled a bit by Olivia when she sat on the ground
earlier. He seemed to exude a noble aura despite the creases.
Indeed, an individual with a good temperament could look handsome in anything.
The light from the Taylor family’s gate fell on his face, accentuating his exquisite features. It was dark
and created a mysterious charm in the contrast of light and shadow.
Daniel had been famous for his handsome looks when he was younger. At that time, anyone
discussing good looks would inevitably mention him for comparison.
If anyone could even match half of his looks, they would receive widespread praise.
However, as Daniel grew older and his business expanded, people began to focus less on his
appearance.
Instead, they described him as having a strong presence and an
awe–inspiring aura.
Liam walked forward with trembling steps and greeted him politely. “Mr. Sullivan.”
As Liam spoke, Samuel and Yvonne also greeted him one after another. “Mr. Sullivan.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaniel paid no attention to anyone and looked straight at Olivia as if he did not hear the greetings
around him. “Can we go now?”
Without waiting for Olivia to respond, Liam interjected, “Why are you leaving soon? Since you’re here,
come inside and have a seat.” As he said that, he turned to Olivia and said with a disapproving
expression, “Olivia, why didn’t you invite Mr. Sullivan in earlier? Quick, invite Mr. Sullivan in.”
Olivia did not want to pay any attention to Liam, but after her gaze swept over his elderly face, her
heart softened.
She looked at Daniel and asked, “Would you like to come in?”
Daniel knew Olivia well. Once looking at her expression, he clearly knew

that her heart had softened.
This girl had always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Daniel nodded and then turned to Liam, his attitude gentler than before. “May I ask if Mr. Taylor
welcomes me?”
“Welcome. How could we not welcome you?” Liam chuckled as he walked inside. While he was
walking, he added, “It’s already late at night. Why don’t you stay for the night? It’s a good chance for
Olivia to host you.” Daniel did not agree right away. Instead, he turned to Olivia with an obedient
expression. He asked, “Is that okay?”
Seeing this scene, Liam’s smile deepened.
Olivia did not understand why Daniel was asking her. If he did not want to stay overnight, he would
have refused outright. So he did not refuse just now, it meant he wanted to stay.
Although she didn’t comprehend his intention, she cooperated and said, “Indeed, it’s quite late. Why
not stay over?”
Daniel looked satisfied and his smile was radiant.
It wasn’t until bedtime that he came to find her, and Olivia finally understood his intentions.
First, Daniel explained some of the rules of high society to her.
He mentioned that within these prominent families, there were no restrictions on internal disputes
among descendants. As long as they did not harm the interests of the family, they could fight as they
pleased.
The victor of these disputes would naturally become the head of the family.
This was one way for these prominent families to select their heirs.
He told Olivia, “The reason why Yvonne and Amelia plotted.against you is solely for the benefit of the
Taylor family. If you voluntarily leave, you’ll be playing into their hands. You have to stay and firmly
establish yourself, gain a voice, and finally drive them crazy!”
Olivia was taken aback, unsure of how to respond.
Daniel seemed to think he had startled her with his words. He reached out and lightly touched her
delicate cheek, speaking softly, “Don’t worry, with me here, you have nothing to fear. I’ll fight back for
you and make sure to deal with those who have treated you unfairly, one by one.”
