Chapter 226
A long time had passed since the call ended, yet David was still sitting in his chair in a daze.
His mind was in a mess, and he could not tell who was right and who was
wrong.
Two little people were jumping around and chattering in his mind.
One said, “Olivia must have reported Emma, causing Emma to go to jail.” One denied, “How is that
possible? Olivia doesn’t look like someone who would do that. She has always been distant and rarely
gets involved in the Taylor family’s matters.”
It was so noisy that David had a headache.
He lay on the bed with his head in his hands and kicked with his long legs.
Unable to figure it out, David called Yvonne, who was far away in Mala.
Ever since David came to Gorshire to study, he gradually grew apart from Emma. Instead, he became
closer to Yvonne.
Yvonne was different from Emma’s delicate and slender appearance. Although she looked gentle and
refined on the outside, she was strong on the inside and was very knowledgeable about many things.
She had helped David to figure out many things that he could not understand.
When David first arrived at Gorshire, he did not know anything. After leaving the familiar environment in
the country, he was surrounded by unfamiliar people and things.
It was Yvonne who flew over and accompanied him for a while.
Only then did he gradually adapt to the environment.
“Yvonne, I have something to ask you.”
“Okay.” Yvonne nodded. “Go ahead.”
David said, “Do you know that Emma got reported?”
Yvonne paused and said in a surprised tone, “You’ve heard?”
David sat up and widened his eyes. “You know about it too? Emma said
that Olivia reported her. Is that true?”

Yvonne looked troubled and hesitated for a while. “It’s hard to say if it was Olivia who reported her. It’s
just a speculation.” Yvonne sighed. “Don’t blame Emma for making such a guess. She’s too frightened.
I’m sure you know what it’s like to be in jail. She’s the daughter of a wealthy family. Never mind that she
was in a sanatorium, but now she’s even going to jail. How can she bear it?”
Yvonne’s tone was filled with pity. “You didn’t see Emma’s appearance. She’s so thin that you can
almost see her bones. It made my heart ache just looking at her.”
David’s jaw tightened, and his expression turned cold. “Did something happen?”
Yvonne hesitated. “Don’t worry about it. Study hard. You…”
Before she could finish, David interrupted her coldly. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go back immediately and
ask.”
“Don’t be rash!” Yvonne was anxious. Then, she looked helpless as she said, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll tell
you, alright? It’s like this. Emma hasn’t been eating or sleeping well in the sanatorium. She has lost a
lot of weight. Uncle and Aunt were heartbroken, so they wanted to find Olivia and apologize to her so
that they could bring Emma home to recuperate.”
At this point, Yvonne paused for a moment. “As you know, Olivia is angry at the Taylor family. She
completely cut ties with the Taylor family. Now, she doesn’t answer the Taylor family’s calls anymore.
Uncle and Aunt can’t find her, so they have no choice but to apologize online.
“Unexpectedly, such an unintentional move caused Olivia to
misunderstand. She thought that Uncle and Aunt wanted to use public opinion to force her. In a fit of
anger, she reported Emma.”
“Did she really report Emma?” David’s lips trembled, and his face turned ashen.
“This is too much!” David stood up and punched the pillow.
His face was filled with boiling rage.
Emma had indeed done something wrong, but she had already received the punishment she deserved
and had been locked up in the sanatorium.
What else did Olivia want? Did she want to force Emma to her death?
The more David thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he was furious.

He had to meet Olivia and question her face–to–face.

Did she have a heart? Was her heart made of steel? How could she be so merciless?
“David, don’t be reckless!” Yvonne’s tone was nervous. She deliberately said, “Olivia now has the
Sullivan family as her backer. You are no match for her alone in Gorshire. You can’t fight her head–on.
Be careful not to anger her and hurt yourself.”
Upon hearing this, David was even more enraged. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. He
wished he could rush to Olivia and question her at this very instant.
“Yvonne, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” David said coldly.
Yvonne leaned back in her chair and crossed her left leg. She tilted her head and said in a low voice,
“David, remember what I said. You can’t be rash. Even if you really go to Olivia, don’t be stupid and ask
directly. Daniel is by her side. In order to protect her image, she will most definitely push the
responsibility to Uncle and Aunt. Moreover, you’re alone. I’m afraid something will happen to you.”
“Does she think that with Daniel as her backer, she can do whatever she wants and bully others at
will?” David sneered. “Then I’ll take her backer away. Let’s see how cocky she can be by then.”
This time, David was truly enraged.
In the past, because Olivia reminded him that there was a medicine in the blood that could make him
feel irritable, he had always remembered her kindness.
Even if Emma was sent to a sanatorium because of her, David did not say anything.
But now, he really could not take it anymore!
Since Olivia did not treat the Taylor family as her family, he did not mind not showing any mercy to her.
David knew that Duke Devonstern had invited Daniel to the dinner.
He had heard from his classmate, Athene, who was Duke Devonstern’s granddaughter. She had even
asked him if he wanted to go.
David was not interested in such banquets. Plus, he was not familiar with Daniel.
Now that he knew that Olivia was also in Gorshire and was with Daniel,
he was certainly going to attend Duke Devonstern’s banquet.

Thinking of this, David snorted.

He knew that Olivia was only so arrogant because of Daniel, and she was invited to the banquet by
Duke Devonstern because of that, too. Thus, he planned to embarrass her at the banquet!
After hanging up the call with Yvonne, David called Athene.
Athene was bored out of her mind at home. She was casually flipping through a fashion magazine.
When she received a call from David, she was so overjoyed that she jumped up high. “David, why are
you calling?”
Hearing Athene’s excited tone, David curled his lips imperceptibly with a smug look on his face.
It was said that Gorshire aristocrats were arrogant and xenophobic. They basically did not interact with
other international students.
The foreign students from Hushen were all in their own circles and never interacted with the children of
the local nobles and tycoons.
David was the only one to integrate into the local aristocratic circle.
This was all thanks to Athene.
“I wish to attend the banquet hosted by Duke Devonstern,” David directly stated his intention.
When he first came into contact with Athene, David was still a little
cautious. He was cautious in every aspect and paid attention to his words and actions.
However, as time passed, David realized that Athene was very good to him. She would hardly refuse
any of his requests and even brought him to know other nobles.
Slowly, David became egotistical and took everything for granted.
When Yvonne found out, she even teased him, saying that he was so charming that he could charm
even Gorshire noble ladies.
“You want to come to the banquet? Sure,” Athene immediately agreed. Then, her tone changed, and
she suddenly said, “I’ve already invited you to my house. Are you going to invite me to your house too?
I heard that Hushen celebrates Christmas when all family members will gather together.”
David was stunned. Did Athene want to meet his parents?
Her face started to turn red gradually.

Chapter 227
Athene first met Olivia eight years ago, when she went to Hushen with her grandfather at the age of 12.
On the way, her grandfather had a very severe illness and could not even move. It was so serious that
they did not have time to return home for
treatment.
Back then, someone recommended Isaac to her grandfather.
In the past, Athene had looked down on alternative medicine and felt that they were just lies, similar to
magic.
Unexpectedly, the alternative medicine that she looked down on actually cured her grandfather.
This was the first time she had seen the wonders of alternative medicine. There was no need for
surgery. It it took was a few needles, and her grandfather was magically cured.
At that time, Athene had always been by her grandfather’s side.
She knew very well.
Although on the surface, it was Isaac, the miracle doctor, who cured her grandfather, the person who
actually performed the acupuncture was the girl who was only four years older than her. Isaac was only
supporting that girl from the side.
That was exactly when Athene was completely dumbfounded!
She looked at the girl’s hand in fascination.
What a miraculous pair of hands. Those hands could actually treat an old man who was in critical
condition in an instant.
Later, after her grandfather recovered from his illness, she was the one who chose the hairpin that was
auctioned at Sotheby’s London.
Athene felt that there was no one in the world more suitable for this hairpin than Olivia.
After returning to Gorshire, Athene tried to visit Olivia in Hushen several times but was always stopped
mercilessly by her grandfather.
Later, she wanted to call Olivia and invite her to come to Gorshire as a guest, but she learned from
Isaac that Olivia had found her biological parents and might not have time to go abroad for a while.

Athene was not disappointed. Instead, she was sincerely happy for Olivia. She knew Olivia too well.
She knew how much Olivia wanted and valued her family.
Therefore, Athene immediately searched for information about the Taylor family online. She learned
everything about the Taylor family and got to know David.
After meeting David at school and learning that he had come to Gorshire as an exchange student,
Athene was overjoyed and used her greatest enthusiasm to familiarize him with everything here.
She wondered. If she treated Olivia’s younger brother well, would Olivia like her more?
On the day of the banquet, because Daniel had something to discuss with Duke Devonstern, he had to
go early.
“You’re going there early?” Mia squeezed the armrest of the sofa
nervously. “What about us?”
For the past few days, Mia had not been resting well, all because she was worried that something
would go wrong during the banquet.
Initially, since she was supposed to go together with Daniel, she felt a slight sense of security.
Now, Daniel was actually going there early!
Mia was dumbfounded and panic–stricken.
Daniel leaned against the sofa with his eyebrows lowered. His posture was lazy, and his expression
was a little nonchalant. His gaze would only brighten when it landed on Olivia.
Hearing Mia’s words, he hummed softly and said calmly, “Mia, you can come with me, or you can wait
until the banquet starts.”
Mia heaved a sigh of relief.
She decided to go with Daniel. That way, she would feel more secure.
Mia, who was more or less relieved, turned to Olivia. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Olivia
look up and say casually, “I’ll go over later.”
Olivia did not like banquets and cocktail parties, but she did not really hate them either.
However, she would occasionally feel that it was better to sit down quietly and read a book instead of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwasting her time on those things.
Moreover, if she went there early, she would have to stay in the Duke’s

Mansion for almost the entire day.
Of course, one would always be a little uncomfortable and not so at ease. Sitting on the sofa, Mia’s
heart was already mostly at ease, but when she heard Olivia’s words, she immediately became
apprehensive again.
She did not expect Olivia to say that she wanted to go later.
Mia’s heart tightened. She was puzzled and suggested in a soft voice, “Olivia, let’s go with Daniel.”
Olivia shook her head. Her expression was calm but firm.
Mia did not know what to do.
She could not understand why Olivia did not want to go with Daniel. “Why?” She asked. She felt that
going alone would be so awkward. After all, they did not know anyone there.
Was Olivia worried that she would disturb Daniel’s discussion?
Or was she afraid that there would be no place for her to do her styling? After Mia thought of a few
reasons, she suddenly felt that it made sense to go later.
Olivia said, “I promised Jojo that I would take it for a walk in the afternoon.”
Jojo was a pitch–black pony with snow–white hooves.
Just because of this reason?
Mia was stunned. After a while, she said, “You can take Jojo for a walk anytime, but if you go to the
banquet alone, it would be so awkward. You don’t know anyone there, no one will introduce you to
them, so they won’t even get to know you. How awkward would that be?”
“Awkward! Why?” Olivia asked.
She sat on the sofa with her back straight and looked at Mia seriously.
After looking at her for two seconds, Olivia suddenly understood.
She smiled and said gently, “If you want to get to know them, take the initiative to introduce yourself. If
they want to get to know you, they will naturally come to you. What’s there to be awkward about?”
Olivia suddenly raised her hand and touched Mia’s forehead with her fingertips. Her voice was gentle
and pleasant. “Only you can give yourself a sense of security. No one else can. You are Daniel’s sister
and the CEO of the Sullivan Group’s Gorshire branch company.

Balformater’s Missing Darting
“This title isn’t embarrassing. You’re already very amazing. You have to think highly of yourself,”
A ball of fire suddenly ignited in the depths of Mia’s heart.
She looked up at Olivia in a daze, her eyes moist.
Olivia saw the insecurity under her gorgeous appearance and gave her the courage to face everything
head–on.
Mia suddenly came to a realization. Yes. She was no longer the little girl from the mountains who did
not even have a winter jacket.
She was the CEO of the Sullivan Group’s Gorshire branch. She was a strong woman.
She should be full of confidence. What was there to be afraid of?
Mia took a deep breath and looked at Olivia seriously. “I’ll go with you.”
Daniel was at a loss for words.
He raised his hand to rub his temples and said in a teasing tone, “It’s over. I’m no longer the person
Mia cares about the most.”
“Are you jealous? What are you, a child?” Mia glared at Daniel and moved to the side, wanting to get
closer to Olivia.
Daniel went to the banquet after breakfast. Mia sent him out. Along the way, she said regretfully,
“Daniel, why didn’t you meet Olivia earlier and be with her?”
Daniel paused for a moment. “I wish I had met her earlier.”
Mia said in a low voice, “Olivia is so amazing. You should’ve dated her earlier.”
Daniel facepalmed. Oh no. his wife’s fangirl team had grown even bigger.
He recalled the small village below the cliff six years ago.
Almost all the girls in the village liked to worship Olivia and came to look for her every day.
At that time, Daniel was not worried that a man would snatch Olivia
away. He was only worried about all the women.
