Chapter 229
The male attendant who received the token immediately turned around and bowed respectfully to
Olivia. He said respectfully, “Please wait a moment. I’ll get the butler to come over.”
David frowned. He did not know why the male attendant’s attitude suddenly changed.
His gaze landed on the cross and paused for a moment. It looked very familiar as if he had seen it
somewhere before.
However, he could not remember for the time being.
David had an impatient personality and was quite temperamental. Although he had been trying his best
to restrain himself for the past half a year and had already achieved some results, when he got angry
occasionally, he still could not control his emotions.
With a cold expression, he frowned and looked at the male attendant. “What’s going on? Are my words
useless?”
After getting on good terms with Athene, David came to the Duke’s Mansion a few times. Because
Athene valued him, the servants in the mansion were very respectful to David. Even the Duke was very
kind to him.
David was used to bossing people around in the Duke’s Mansion.
At this moment, the male attendant’s disobedience caused him to frown subconsciously. He was very
displeased.
The male attendant was in a difficult position.
Of these two people, one was a friend that Athene valued, and the other was holding the duke’s token
in her hand, and the two of them were in a confrontation.
He was in a dilemma and did not know which side to help.
The male attendant handed the cross necklace to the attendant beside him and asked him to find the
butler.
He stayed where he was and looked at David apologetically. “Sir, this is the Duke’s banquet. You and
this lady are both our guests. If you have any conflicts, can you resolve them in private?”
David frowned.
Seeing this, Bruce took a step forward and approached David. He said

curiously, “That’s right, David. Why do you have to make things difficult for this beauty? It’s not good to
cause trouble at the Duke’s banquet.” Hearing Bruce’s question, the others nodded curiously.
“Make things difficult?” David sneered and pointed at Olivia. “Do you know who she is? Do you know
what she had done?”
Who was she? What did she do?
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued as they looked at David.
David snorted and looked at Olivia as if he wanted to tear her apart. “Speaking of which, it’s quite
embarrassing. She’s somewhat related to me. She’s the child our family lost for 18 years and have just
found.” As soon as he finished speaking, gasps sounded.
Even Mia went up to Olivia and exclaimed, “He’s from that Taylor family?”
David lowered his eyes.
During the time he had been overseas, he had matured a lot. He was no longer as unscrupulous as
before. After all, overseas was not Evervale. There was no Taylor family to protect him.
Thus, he learned how to use scheming.
Chasing Olivia out of the banquet would only embarrass her once.
What he wanted was to ruin her reputation completely!
He was going to treat Olivia the same way Olivia had treated Emma. An eye for an eye.
He wanted everyone to know how cold–blooded and ungrateful Olivia was for sending Emma to prison.
Mia’s face was pale as he stared nervously at David’s lips.
One’s reputation was important but also not really important.
For ordinary people, being slandered only meant they had to change location, find a place where no
one knew them, and start over.
However, it was a completely different thing for a famous young scientist like Olivia.
Almost everyone knew her. Plus, she was on the rise in her career.
If she was slandered and her reputation was ruined, the public would question her character and even
her scientific research results.
This might turn out to be extremely deadly!

Seeing that Mia was trembling in fear, David curled his lips and sneered. He was about to speak.
Olivia suddenly said, “Shut up!”
She stood up and handed the wine glass to the waiter beside her. Then, she pinched the space
between her eyebrows and suppressed the frustration in the corners of her eyes.
She could not be bothered to listen to David’s brainless words.
In the past, when he accompanied Gillian to watch TV, there was always one thing Olivia could not
understand about the protagonists in the show.
Why did they not stop the villain in action? Why did they have to wait until the villain slandered them in
public before thinking of a way to fight back and argue with the villain?
If it were her, she would not have given the villain a chance to speak.
She felt it was a waste of time, saliva, and emotions.
She had come to the banquet to relax, not to argue with a retard.
Olivia quickly took out her phone, opened the New York Times to find her interview, and signaled
David. Her tone was impatient.
“You’ve got the wrong person! I have nothing to do with the Taylor family, and I’m not your sister. As for
reporting Emma, I believe in the justice system. If you have any objections, go to the court and the
police. Don’t come to me.”
Olivia was really annoyed by David. It was rare for her to say so much. “If you’re sick in the head, get it
treated. If you’re mentally retarded, go see a doctor, and stay at home when the doctor confirms your
condition. Don’t come out and bite people!”
“You!” David felt his blood rush to his head in an instant. He was so engaged that his head was
spinning.
“Shut up!” Olivia suddenly looked up. Her tone was calm, but it was mixed with sharpness and
impatience. Her gaze was like a sword as it shot straight at David. “I told you to shut up. Didn’t you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhear me? Emma’s in jail because she deserved it. If you’re dissatisfied and not happy with it, go get a
lawyer to defend her. Don’t run in front of me and cry.”
David’s mind buzzed and went blank.
He was anxious and furious, but more than that, he was at a loss. His gaze was fixed on the paragraph
about Olivia’s parents in the interview.

Jonathan and Jessie.
Who were they? What was going on?
Was Olivia not the Taylor family’s lost daughter? Where did this Jonathan and Jessie come out?
Coincidentally, the butler came over.
Holding the necklace in his hand, he ran to Olivia excitedly. “You, you must be Miss Olivia. If you have
any needs, just tell me. I’ll do my best to fulfill them.”
Olivia glanced at David and said indifferently, “I don’t want to see him.” Without hesitation, the butler
said respectfully, “Understood. Don’t worry.”
As he spoke, he called two male attendants to walk in front of David and said in a low voice, “Mr. David,
do you want to leave on your own, or do you want us to ‘help‘ you leave?”
“Butler Aaron!” David’s face was ashen. His tone was incredulous. “What are you doing?”
The butler walked up to David. His tone was no longer as respectful as before but calm and silent. “I’m
sorry, Mr. David. You’ve angered the distinguished guest of the Devonstern family. You’re not welcome
in the residence. Please leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped. Their gazes moved back and forth between David
and Olivia.
Mia was even more dumbfounded. She quietly approached Olivia and whispered, “Who are you?”
Olivia winked at her. “Guess!”
