Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Chapter 407
Olivia had never liked to beat around the bush. She went straight to the point. “I heard you have banned everyone from working with us.”
Finally, they had come to the main topic.
The elders exchanged looks. The First Elder spoke up, “Olivia, you are Isaac’s granddaughter. You are also chosen by the Grant family to marry Alexander. We have been very patient with you all this while.
“You treated the Grant family with much disrespect. You wanted the Smith family to break away from us. But we didn’t hold them against you.
“Not only did you not appreciate our goodwill, but you got more bold. We tolerated you because we are your seniors and also on Isaac’s account.
“But you drugged Tom and also created a lot of trouble for us because of the Great Nourishment Pill. We all have our limits. Once you push us beyond our limits, we will have to take action against you.
“Now that you’ve incurred our wrath, we can only stop all our cooperation with you. You deserve it.”
Olivia lowered her eyes, and a cold glint flashed across her face. “That’s a coincidence. I’ve also been very tolerant toward the Grant family.”
She had given them many chances.
The First Elder frowned. He did not understand what Olivia meant. He was about to ask Olivia to clarify her statement when the Fifth Elder said, “Olivia, where did. you get so many voodoo worms?”
The essence of the Great Nourishment Pill was the voodoo worms.
They were special worms that were similar to cordyceps. They looked like plants. that had no life before they were awakened. Even the most advanced technology would be able to detect them.
The voodoo worms were not easy to breed. For many years, the Grant family tried to breed them in hopes of accelerating their reproduction. They experimented with various methods but were still unable to significantly increase their population. In fact, the number of voodoo worms in their possession had diminished.
Left with no choice, the Grant family gave up the idea of speeding up their numbers. They could only stick to the traditional method of breeding the worms.
After trying for many years, the Grant family was left with around one dozen voodoo worms. They could only breed one or two worms every year.
Yet Olivia managed to breed thousands of voodoo worms within a short period.
No one knew how she did it. No matter how hard he thought, the Fifth Elder could not figure out what went on.

He had been bogged down by that question for the past few days. Unable to hold it any longer, he could not resist asking Olivia.
“Do you mean the voodoo worms?” Olivia asked dismissively. To her, it was not a difficult thing to do, so she told the Fifth Elder without hesitation, “That can be easily done. Just clone them. I don’t have time to breed them slowly. They’re just some small insects, and their genetic sequence is very straightforward.”
The Fifth Elder was speechless.
Olivia made it sound like a simple job. He did not expect such a brief answer. If breeding those worms had been a straightforward task, the Grant family would have been considered fools for centuries.
The Fifth Elder did not believe what Olivia said. He retorted coldly, “That’s impossible. The Grant family also tried to clone them. It cannot be done at all. Even if we manage to clone them, their growth will be impaired. They will die eventually.”
Olivia looked up, looking calm and composed. She exuded a commanding presence. “Just because you guys can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t.”
The Fifth Elder felt a flicker of irritation. He could not speak for a long time, as if he was in a trance.
He muttered to himself, “This is impossible. It’s impossible. How can Olivia be so powerful?”
Seeing that the Fifth Elder had gone quiet, the Second Elder snatched the phone away from the Fifth Elder and warned, “Olivia, don’t think that you can threaten us with the Great Nourishment Pill. The Grant family’s influence is greater than you think. Don’t even think about posting the report about the Great Nourishment Pill on the internet. You should be familiar with the Skynet system. All online information in the country must be vetted before they can be published.
“I know that you will release everything you know about the Great Nourishment Pill if we take any action against you. But so what if you know the secrets of the Great Nourishment Pill? We don’t care at all.
“For Isaac’s sake, I’ll give you one last chance. Stop whatever you’re doing and hand over the recipe of the Great Nourishment Pill. Also, swallow one of the pills. After that, kneel and beg for our mercy.”
Olivia wanted to laugh out loud when she heard him mention the Skynet system. She was the one who developed it.
Olivia narrowed her eyes. Not wanting to argue with the Second Elder, she snapped, “You can dream on!”
The Second Elder went cold with fury. “Olivia! You’d better wise up.”
Olivia sneered, “Is the Grant family always so arrogant? Have your desires become insatiable because of the long legacy of the family? You’ve become too smug for
