Chapter 326
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
After Talia was taken away, Olivia sat on the sofa and looked at the Fulham couple whose faces were pale. âHave I given you some kind of wrong impression? You think the Dillon family is not to be trifled with, and ver 1. Olivia Taylor, is to be trifled with?
âIf I had given you such an illusion, then Iâll tell you the truth now.â Olivia paused, playing with an orange with her fingertips. âGetting on my bad side is even worse for you than offending the Dillon family!â
As she spoke, she flicked her fingertips and threw the orange to the ground.
On cue, Elena stepped forward. She took out a fruit knife and cut the orange in half, even making an appropriate sound effect with her mouth. âClatter.â
Slightly weirded out by Elenaâs cartoonish antic, Olivia held her forehead.
Then she raised her hand and gestured at Elena. âGo to the back and wait.â
Elenaâs head drooped. âOh.â
âOh, right.â Olivia thought of something and turned to look at Tucker. âThe local police have already stepped in to investigate the fire in the Fulham family house. If it turns out to be related to you, you donât have to be afraid of the Dillon family anymore. You can straightaway go hide in the local prison.
Itâs very safe Upon hearing this. Tuckerâs expression turned cold. His face turned greenish white. âI know that you, the Smith family, are powerful. I also know that youâre the fiancée of the richest man, from the Sullivan family. Ms. Taylor, being so rich and powerful, why are you making things difficult for us, a small family?â
May wiped the tears on her face and turned to Kate with a bitter smile. âKate, Iâve implicated you today.
I originally wanted to make use of your relation with Ms. Taylor to meet her and bring the child back. I didnât expect Ms. Taylor to have such a bad temper. Not only did she not let Bettany go, her motherâs leg and is putting Tucker into prison.
she even broke âWe just want to bring Bettany back. I didnât expect things to turn out this way. Clearly, itâs a case of the one in power oppressing people. Sheâs rich and powerful, and our small family can do nothing but be bullied. Thereâs really no justice.â
This ability to distort the truth was very impressive.
The way Kate looked at Olivia became more and more complicated.
âOlivia, youâ¦â Kate wanted to ask Olivia how she became like this, but she did not know how to start.
She just let out a long sigh.
Elena, standing behind Olivia, was so angry that her face turned pale. She wished she could go up and beat May up.
She wanted to explain to Kate, but Olivia waved her hand and stopped her. âNo need to explain.
Oliviaâs tone was indifferent. âNo one with a brain would believe such a ridiculous and irrational distortion. Kate is a teacher at Ember University, a highâlevel intellectual, she will not be taken in.â
Then, she looked at Kate and asked, âTeacher, was my analysis correct?â
Kate chokedâ¦
It was as though if she believed Tucker and Mayâs words, then she would be an idiot who could not differentiate right from wrong!
Olivia leaned against the sofa with a calm expression. Her tone was evenly paced. âKate, I remember that you taught logic, right? Just nice, I can ask you for guidance. Tell me, what contradictory things did these two say?
âHereâs some hints.â Olivia casually extended a finger. âFirstly, did I imprison Bettany and not let her go?â Kate thought for a moment and shook her head. âNo, it was Bettanyâs own decision to not leave.â
Olivia extended a second finger. âSo why did Mrs. Fulham get kicked?â
Kate replied, âShe attacked you.â
âNo!â May panicked. âShe clearly wanted to kneel down to you.â
Olivia asked, âHow did you know that she was going to kneel down to me? Why would she kneel down to me?â
May felt very panicked. âIt was of course to beg you to let Bettany go.â
âAlright.â Olivia retracted a finger. âNow, letâs return to the first question. Kate, please tell her, have I imprisoned Bettany?â
Kate was very cooperative. âNo, Olivia didnât imprison Bettany.â
âSee.â Oliviaâs tone was light and a little teasing. âSince I havenât imprisoned her, who am I to let her go?â âKateâ Olivia now had three fingers extended. Thirdly, she talked about throwing Tucker into prison. Can I be so powerful as to command the prison? If Tucker did not set the fire, why would he be going in?â Kate completely understood and quickly nodded. âYes, thatâs right. If Tucker didnât start the fire, why afraid of? would the police arrest him? In that case, May, what are you May was furious.
She shifted her gaze and wanted to say something, but Olivia had already completely lost patience.
The amount of time wasted with these unimportant people was already reaching her limit.
She waved her hand. âSend these people out. Kate, leave too,â
After saying that, she turned to Bettany and said in a comforting tone, âDonât worry, your motherâs leg will be fine. As long as itâs proven that she didnât ambush me, she will be released soon.â
Bettany stammered. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Elenaâs cold expression, she did not say anything.
She closed her eyes. Everything that had happened today was because of her. It was not easy for Olivia to still protect her.
How could she have the cheek to ask for more?
Things had been happening too quickly just now and she had not been able to react in time. Now that she thought about it carefully, she could guess her motherâs intentions. Her mother wanted to use begging to force Olivia to let her go.
It was her mother who had the idea first, and hence rightly deserved the suffering!
The Fulham family and Kate were quickly sent away. When they reached the entrance, Kate was s little confused.
Why had she been asked to leave too?
She subconsciously looked up at the butler and called out, âRoland, whatâs up with Olivia?â
still a Roland frowned. âMadam Leach, my lady only let you in because she respects you. But look at what youâve done. You brought someone in without knowing the truth about the situation!â
Kate wanted to explain, âI hadnât thought that much about it.â
âNo, youâve thought about it.â Rolandâs eyes seemed to be able to see through peopleâs hearts. He stared at Kate coldly. âYouâre a university teacher. I donât believe that you donât even know the basics of how to handle things. Bringing a stranger to a studentâs house, and a stranger who has ill intentions towards the student, couldnât you inform her first?
âI donât believe that you donât even have my ladyâs number!â
Rolandâs tone was firm. âAt the end of the day, it canât hide the fact that youâre here to cause trouble, no matter how you quibble! My lady respects you and lets you in, but respect is for people who deserve respect. Since you donât know right from wrong and have bias, youâre not worthy of my ladyâs respect.
âMadam Leach, please leave this place!â
11.59 Kateâs face turned pale.
Like a wandering soul, she returned home and told her husband about this.
Her husband also disapproved of her actions and criticized her. âYou should have informed Olivia in advance. You shouldnât have brought those people over directly and made things difficult for her.â
Kate explained. âI really hadnât thought too much about it. May is my cousin. She came to tell me that Bettany was being locked up by Olivia. Thatâs why I went.â
âHeh.â Her husband snorted. âDid you believe her nonsense? If Bettany really got locked up, why didnât they call the police?â
Kate was at a loss for words.
After a while, she finally admitted her mistake and said in a low voice, âIâll apologize to Olivia after a while âWhy wait a while?â Her husband took out his phone. âApologize now.â
Kate was a little embarrassed, but under her husbandâs prodding gaze, she had no choice but to take the phone and call Olivia.
No one picked up.
After calling a few more times, Kate realized, âIâve been blocked!â
This was too petty!
Kate was a little unhappy. She said angrily, âSo be it. Whatâs the big deal? If she ignores me, I donât want to bother with her. Sheâs already so arrogant after just making some achievements. If she falls in the future, I donât believe that there wonât be a time when she comes begging to me.â
Her husband sighed. âHoney, you⦠Sighâ¦â
He started to say something, but the words died in his throat.
Kate was in charge of teaching in school, but her husband, Terrence Leach, was in the administrative office. He knew a little about Oliviaâs identity. Although he didnât know much, he could confirm that her identity was extraordinary.
Even the principal was very respectful to her.
Olivia had already resigned from the schoolâs teaching job and the experiment had stopped. Terrence had heard through the grapevine that Oliviaâs identity was quite special and seemed to have relations with the Capitol Research Institute.
This was confidential information, so Terrence did not dare to tell his wife about it He could only regret that he had missed the opportunity to befriend Olivia. He hoped that in the future, his wife would not regret what she had done today.
