Chapter 392
“Miss Olivial” Blake cried out.
She couldn’t believe that Olivia wanted to separate Roger’s branch. This branch had the largest number of people in the Smith family.
Due to being too surprised and nervous, Blake stuttered as she spoke, “Ms. Olivia, there are quite a few people under Roger. Is it a good idea to split so many family members away?”
Olivia tapped her fingertips on the desk and asked, “I’m not raising livestock. What’s the use of having more of them? Since Gillian and the others are trying to get more support, just let them have it.”
Blake wanted to say more, but Olivia shook her head, indicating that she was not interested in listening.
Blake could only remain silent.
On the other hand, Yanis hesitated for a long time before asking, “Miss Olivia, the year–end banquet organized by Jarron and Gillian is tomorrow, do you want to go?”
There was a reason for Yanis’s question.
Not all of the Smith family members who attended the year–end banquet supported Jarron and Gillian. Some of them either supported Olivia or were vaguely neutral. These members really thought that Gillian and Jarron were merely holding a year–end banquet.
If they were all the members who supported Jarron, there was indeed no need for Olivia to go over. However, for those who supported Olivia, Olivia should not disappoint them.
Olivia closed the genealogy book on the table. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Let’s see how it goes.”
Yanis and Blake looked at each other. They were a little confused by this ambiguous answer.
What did it mean by ‘see how it goes‘? They wouldn’t even know how things. would go if they didn’t show up.
Moreover, if they wanted to go, they had to prepare in advance. Gillian might not welcome Olivia at the banquet and all of these required time for arrangement. Yanis had a lot of questions to ask. “Miss Olivia, what do you mean by that?”
Olivia spoke calmly, “I promised Andrew that I would accompany him to the zoo tomorrow. If I return early and have enough time, I’ll go. If I return late and don’t have any time, I won’t go.”
Yanis didn’t know how to respond.

She thought in her mind, “Isn’t this too casual? It seems like Miss Taylor isn’t taking such a significant matter of the Smith family seriously.”
Blake stammered, “Miss Olivia, it might not be a good choice to go over at the last minute, we need more time to make arrangements. The year–end banquet is held at the hotel under the Grant family. If we want to attend, we need to plan in advance.”
“No need to plan.” Olivia waved her hand. She was already a little impatient. Olivia was more and more unwilling to hide her abilities. She began to act as she pleased and no longer suppressed herself like before.
Given her current status, her willingness to take over the Smith family was due to Isaac’s sentiment. It’s completely impossible for her to waste time caring about the Smith family members.
All along, Olivia had spent the most time on family matters.
Initially, it was towards Isaac, Gillian, and Jarron. Later, it was towards the Taylor family, and now it was towards Daniel and Andrew.
In the past, she cared about them, which was why she was willing to spend time. But now, they were just a group of strangers. Olivia could not be bothered at all. On the day of the grand banquet, Gillian repeatedly confirmed the event timeline with the staff.
Three main points were made clear.
First, they must be vigilant against Olivia and stall for time. By the end of Jarron’s speech, they should completely win over these family members. Only after confirming the decisions of the family members, they could allow Olivia to enter. Second, when Olivia arrived, they must overshadow her in terms of presence to boost the confidence of the Smith family members in Jarron.
Third, they should utilize the pressure from these family members on Olivia, forcing her to relinquish a portion of the Smith family’s businesses.
After confirming it numerous times, the staff was getting a bit annoyed with Gillian. “Ms. Gillian, please relax. Olivia is running out of time and she won’t stand a chance. Her presence is pointless. She will just empty talk without giving any benefits. No one will listen to her.
“Most importantly, we have the powerful backing of the Grant family. Even ten Olivias can’t compare with the Grant family, and the Smith family members could understand this.”
“You’re right. I am too nervous.” Gillian admitted and closed her eyes.
Inside the banquet hall, the family members were already seated and eagerly awaiting the start of the grand banquet.
The brothers of Isaac had varying expressions and their own thoughts. Johan remained quiet but his support for Jarron was evident.

Roger, on the other hand, had an indignant expression, with noticeable dark circles under his eyes.
He had waited for Olivia’s call the entire night yesterday and was quite infuriated. He thought, “Olivia was really not sensible at all. Such a person was not worthy of leading the Smith family.” He wanted to lead his younger family members to support Jarron and Gillian to make Olivia regret it.
Alvin wore a stern expression as he scolded everyone for forgetting their principles.
After reprimanding the crowd, he began to worry.
Jarron and Gillian had stirred up such a commotion. Could Olivia really turn the tables?
Even though he supported Olivia in his heart, and he knew some of her capabilities, he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious at this moment.
A younger family member approached him and whispered, “Alvin, I just went outside to check, and Olivia hasn’t arrived.” When he said this, his tone carried a hint of urgency.
