Chapter 149
The Taylor family’s matter was very serious. Almost all of Evervale’s upper echelons knew about it. Emma had been convicted. Liam did as he said and did not interfere at all. It was only after Samuel and Amelia had secretly pulled a lot of strings and made a psychiatric assessment of her bipolar disorder that they barely managed to get her out of jail under the guise of medical parole.
However, even if she got out of jail, she couldn’t stay in Evervale. She couldn’t go overseas either. Amelia didn’t want to really send her to a mental hospital, so she could only find a beautiful place in a county in Evervale to settle her down.
Amelia planned to let Emma stay there for a few years and pretend to treat her illness. After her sentence was over and the rumors outside had calmed down, she would be sent overseas.
As soon as Emma got out of jail, Blake received the news and immediately told Olivia. She was indignant. “The Taylor family is way over the line! Do they think we’re easy to bully? Miss, should we deal with them…”
Olivia was painting. Her head was lowered, and the loose hair at her temples hung down, outlining her perfect and smooth jawline. While Blake was filled with righteous indignation, Olivia was painting a beautiful forest. During this period, her wrist was steady and the lines. were smooth without any pause. It was as if she was completely unaffected by Blake’s words. It was as if Samuel, Amelia, and Emma whom Blake was talking about were just irrelevant people.
After Olivia finished the last line, she put down her brush and interrupted Blake. “Forget it. Let them be.”
Blake did not say anything. She thought that Miss Olivia still cared about the Taylor family. Just as she was about to think of a way to comfort her, she heard Olivia say unhurriedly, “Don’t forget to collect evidence.”
“Huh?” Blake was still a little confused.
Olivia’s voice was calm. “Since Emma doesn’t have bipolar disorder, it means that they made fake evidence. Get this information. If they come to me and pester me again, we’ll make them all go to jail.”
She was completely fed up with the Taylor family’s pestering. Although she could strike them at a higher level, not everyone was smart enough to

know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In particular, Samuel and Amelia considered themselves smart. It was necessary to hold back in case of emergencies.
Blake was speechless.
She really wanted to go back to a few minutes ago and slap herself. How could she doubt Miss Olivia’s wise decision?
Olivia had a reason for everything she did. Blake was stupid and couldn’t think of that solution, so she certainly didn’t need to doubt Olivia. She just had to listen to orders.
Tracy had also heard about the Taylor family’s matter at the Smith Cuisine Hall. She called Gillian and told her what had happened in Evervale.
When Gillian received the call, she was making Isaac a birthday gift. It was a maroon sweater. Every year on Isaac’s birthday, she would personally make a piece of clothing for Isaac.
When Gillian heard that Olivia and the Taylor family had fallen out, she had a lot on her mind. Her hand paused and she made a mistake with her knitting.
The knitting method of this sweater was very complicated. If she made a mistake, she would have to remove a line of threads. She quickly stopped and began to remove the yarn, but she could not calm down no matter what. She could not help but think of Olivia.
She recalled what Tracy had said just now. That day at Old Mr. Green’s birthday banquet, Samuel and Amelia had been aggressive and harsh. They had framed Olivia, saying that her character was inferior and that she had impersonated the Taylor family’s descendant. They had slandered her in all sorts of ways and treated her as an enemy.
Gillian’s heart could not help but ache.
She wondered, “Olivia must be very sad and desperate at that time!” Gillian finally could not control her emotions. She threw down the sweater and buried her face between her knees,
Gillian had truly loved Olivia. During their youth, they grew up together, played together, studied medicine together, and were close with each other day and night. They treated each other like biological sisters,

much. She even fell seriously ill and had a high fever for three days and three nights. If not for Isaac’s superb medical skills, she might have suffered brain problems due to her fever.
Although their relationship was so tense now that they could no longer be as close as before, Gillian still hoped that Olivia could lead a good life. Gillian hoped that she could be happy as long as she did not return to the Smith family, did not fight with her for the hospital, and did not fight over Jarron.
Gillian, who had been by Olivia’s side since they were young, knew Olivia very well. She knew that Olivia yearned and looked forward to her biological mother. She supposed that Olivia must be very sad now that her expectations had been shattered.
Gillian wanted to call Olivia. She had already clicked open her contact list and found the phone number marked “Olivia“. However, she could not press the call button no matter how hard she placed her fingertip on it. In the end, she turned off her phone dejectedly.
Things had changed. They were no longer close sisters. If Gillian called at this time, Olivia might misunderstand and think that she was calling to mock her.
Gillian laughed self–deprecatingly and felt that it was better for her not to make Olivia hate her.
Because she was in a bad mood and could not sleep at noon, Gillian planned to go home.
The Smith family’s place was right next to the hospital. It was only about. 500 yards away. It was very close, and she could walk back.
When Gillian arrived at the door, she took out the key and inserted it into the lock. Just as she was about to unlock the door, she suddenly remembered that Isaac was not at work today and was resting at home. He should be taking an afternoon nap at this time. She subconsciously quieted down, slowly turned the key, and gently pushed the door open. Just as she stepped into the house, she heard Isaac’s energetic voice coming from the balcony. “I’ll make it a grand one. Of course, it has to be a grand birthday banquet. I’m turning 80 years old this year.”
Gillian chuckled. She knew that Isaac was calling to inform the Smith family members to attend his birthday banquet.
In the past, Isaac’s birthday celebrations were simple every year. Basically, the few of them in the family would gather together for a meal. They

would not even invite Tracy, Healix, and the others who were quite close to the family over for celebration.
For some reason, this year, Isaac suddenly acted out of character. Not only did he have to hold a grand birthday banquet, but he also had to hold it in the Smith family’s old residence in Evervale.
He had started to inform people a month in advance. It seemed like he wanted to call all the members of the Smith family over.
Jarron said that Isaac was old and liked to be lively, just like a child. Gillian shook her head helplessly as she wondered, “He’s somewhat childish!” Just as she was about to turn around and close the door, she was stopped by Isaac’s proud voice.
“Of course, I have something important to announce. Otherwise, why would I waste my time calling all the family members over? Hahaha, what is the important thing? I’ll tell you. It’s about the Smith family’s next family head. I want to have my youngest granddaughter, Olivia, take over the Smith family!”
There was a bang.
Gillian dropped her phone, which she had been holding.
