Billionaire’s Missing Darling

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
11:15
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
11:15
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
11:15
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?”
