Billionaire’s Missing Darling (Olivia and Daniel) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 

It was December, and Layfield was already very cold. 

Olivia was wrapped in a solid–colored, knee–length cashmere coat, unbuttoned, with a loose belt at the waist. 

She wore a pair of four–centimeter sheepskin ankle boots, revealing her long and slender calves. 

She had always dressed up in sportswear. Her clothes were simple and casual, and she always wore sneakers. 

This was the first time Gillian had seen her dressed like this. 

Standing at 170 cm in height, plus the 4 cm heels, she exuded a commanding presence. 

She just stood there indifferently without saying a word, exuding an invisible pressure. 

Gillian pinched her pale fingers, feeling an inexplicable joy, and with a casual excuse, she muttered, “Why are you dressed like this? Prioritizing style over comfort, huh?” 

At first, Olivia did not realize that it was Gillian. She only heard someone speak and subconsciously stood up to look back. 

When she saw Gillian, her eyes were calm, without any emotions. 

It was as if she did not see her. 

She turned around, squatted down, and continued to pick Gastrodia elata herbs. 

Her dismissive attitude left Gillian somewhat embarrassed. 

She couldn’t help but raise her voice and asked, “Didn’t you hear me talking to you?” 

Lindsay heard the commotion and quickly walked over. When she saw Olivia, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then, she gloated and said, “How did you end up like this? Are you working as a gardener for them?” She shook her head and mocked intentionally, “Tsk tsk, your social status seems to be plummeting. Why don’t I have my grandfather secure a position for you at the company, with a higher salary, say, 240 dollars a month.” 

“What do you say? It sounds like a plan, right?”

Olivia handed the Gastrodia elata in her hand to the maid on the left and patted the dirt off her hands before turning around. 

Her expression was calm, and there was no trace of anger on her face. Instead, she only lowered her head slightly and glanced at Lindsay. Lindsay’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt weak in her legs. 

She looked at Olive with a fierce expression. “What are you looking at?” 

Olivia took a wet tissue from a maid on her right and gently wiped her fingers until all ten of her delicate and flawless fingers were free from dust. She spoke calmly, “You’re Gillian’s assistant, aren’t you?” 

“Yeah, you didn’t expect this, did you?” Lindsay’s tone was proud. 

“I didn’t expect it.” Olivia slowly lowered her eyes and handed the used wet wipe to the maid. “Your grandfather, Healix, is quite capable. Unfortunately, his grandchildren are useless and have implicated him.” 

Lindsay’s expression changed, and she said sternly, “What nonsense are you talking about?” 

Olivia paid no attention to the girl’s hysteria but maintained her calm tone, firmly suppressing Lindsay’s presence. “Is your grandfather here too? Let him come see me.” 

“Who do you think you are, you…” Before Lindsay could finish, she was interrupted by Gillian, who pulled her behind her. 

“Healix is not here.” Gillian’s face was cold. “You are wrong.” 

Olivia raised her eyebrows slightly as if she was surprised. “Why? Aren’t you here to ask for help?” 

As soon as Olivia spoke, not only Lindsay but even Gillian’s expression froze in disbelief. 

Gillian asked in a shocked tone, “How… How did you know that?” 

“Is that so hard to guess?” Olivia smiled and answered. Her deep eyes. were unreadable, but there was a hint of sorrow in them. “Don’t forget, we grew up together. It’s easy to guess what you’re thinking.” 

Gillian could hardly keep her composure, and her eyes widened suddenly. “Guess?” she asked. 

She thought that the news had leaked, but it turned out to be a guess. Olivia nodded and spoke nonchalantly, “Let me guess, guess why you’re here? It must be for the drug identification report and clinical trial approval. You want to make a big impression at the banquet to secure

your position, so you need a remarkable medicine, but the time is too short for proper identification and testing, so you thought of taking a shortcut.” 

As soon as she finished speaking, Gillian’s face turned pale. 

She had actually guessed it all! 

How was that possible? 

Whether she had genuinely guessed it or received information about Gillian’s intentions, it wasn’t good for Gillian either way. 

She forced herself to calm down and walked to Olivia’s side. “Don’t interfere in my matters, and don’t even think about standing in my way,” she said in a low voice. 

“Otherwise…” Her voice suddenly became gloomy, and her eyes were filled with coldness. 

Otherwise, don’t blame her for not showing mercy. 

Olivia looked up coldly and did not take her threat seriously. 

Seeing this, Gillian was anxious and took a few more steps closer. “Don’t forget that you were able to become a distinguished guest in the Patterson family today because of the Smith family’s reputation. Otherwise, would a small researcher like you be respected so much? 

“It’s the Smith family that has provided you with everything today. Without the Smith family, there would be no you. In the past, with our history, I didn’t want to be so definitive in my words, but if you’ve done anything to harm the Smith family’s interests, don’t blame me for revealing your secrets and taking away all the privileges our family has bestowed upon you.” 

Olivia did not know what to say. 

Even though she was well–traveled and often unfazed by many things, Olivia still found herself at a loss after hearing what Gillian had said. 

Olivia’s silence, in Gillian’s eyes, was a sign of submission. 

Gillian was proud of himself. She looked up at Olivia and left in a hurry with Lindsay. 

Lindsay did not understand and asked, “Are we leaving just like that? Where are we going?” 

Gillian didn’t say anything but just quickened her pace. After they left the herb garden, she explained in a low voice, “Although we’ve temporarily

scared Olivia, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t try to destroy our plan. Just in case, let’s go to see Lindy now and ask her to kick Olive out of here. 

Lindsay was overjoyed when she heard that and clapped her hands happily. That’s great. Let’s go! Let’s go!” 

Although she had uttered some sarcastic remarks earlier just to vent her frustrations, Olivia’s overwhelming presence had suppressed her to the point that she felt suffocated.
