Chapter 104
Henry didn’t accompany Olivia to Daniel’s residence. Instead, he returned to the small apartment outside the school.
It was Olivia’s request.
Henry was a bit puzzled. He wondered why she came here. Did she quarrel with her husband?
As he was grappling with confusion, they arrived at the apartment.
He parked the car and stepped out to open the car door for Olivia.
However, she calmly remained seated in the back without any intention of getting out.
Confused, Henry couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Olivia, aren’t you getting out of the car?”
Olivia lowered her gaze, her expression cold, tinged with a hint of weariness. “No, it’s too troublesome. I’ll have to go back up in a while.”
Troublesome?
Henry was even more baffled. Why was getting out of the car troublesome? Just as he was scratching his head in confusion, he suddenly saw a familiar Bentley approaching ahead.
Wasn’t this Isabella’s car? Why was it here?
Henry became even more bewildered.
The black Bentley glided to a slow stop before them, and the person stepping out from inside was a familiar face to Henry. It was Joe, the Sullivan family’s driver.
“Joe!” Henry’s eyes widened. “Why are you here?”
Joe had something urgent to attend to, so he didn’t exchange pleasantries with Henry. He nodded and said in a low voice, “I’m picking someone up.” Then, he ran to the back door and opened it. A man in his forties.
came out.
The man was wearing a tuxedo, not the traditional kind but a modified, loose–fitting version. It gave him an elegant appearance. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Mr. Smith, is this the right place?” Joe pointed to the apartment in front. of them.
The man nodded and said, “Wait here. I’ll go up and take a look.”
home’s Missing Darling
Joe complied respectfully and stood downstairs, watching as the man went upstairs.
Joe’s attitude was very respectful. He was not only the driver for Isabella but also an esteemed elder within the Sullivan family. It was the first time. Henry had seen him this deferential. He was so shocked that he dared not utter a word.
After the man went upstairs, he approached Joe and asked curiously, “Who is that? What are you doing here?”
Joe furrowed his brows slightly. “That’s Yanis. He’s Isaac’s junior. He’s here to pick up the renowned doctor’s granddaughter.”
The renowned doctor? Henry widened his eyes. “He’s actually here? Did Ms. Yvonne invited him here?”
Joe nodded.
Seeing this, Henry glanced at Olivia sitting in the car and couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her. He thought to himself, “Ms. Yvonne is really. formidable. She can easily overshadow Miss Olivia. Could Miss Olivia compete with her?”
Instantly, Henry’s face fell. He began to think that Olivia probably had little hope left.
At this moment, Daniel emerged from the apartment entrance. Joe quickly went up to him. Seeing Yanis‘ tightly knitted brows, he felt his heart skipped a beat. Did he not find her, or was the renowned doctor’s granddaughter unwilling to come with them?
He asked anxiously, “What happened? Didn’t you find her?”
Yanis nodded with a grave expression. “Miss Olivia is not here.” As he spoke, he took out his phone and was about to make a call. However, as his gaze shifted, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the car window across the way.
Yanis was stupefied!
He stood rooted to the ground. Following his gaze, Henry and Joe looked over to see Olivia inside the car.
Henry was confused. Did Yanis know Olivia? Why was he so surprised?
Unlike Henry, Joe did not have a good impression of Olivia, Feeling disgruntled, he immediately frowned. What was she doing here? Why did she seem to be everywhere?
He grew irritated and found Olivia to be a nuisance. Just as he was about
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
to open his mouth to scold her, Henry, who was at the side, seemed to have suddenly realized something. He exclaimed, “Miss Olivia also lives here. She might know the renowned doctor’s granddaughter.”
He turned to Yanis in excitement. “Mr. Smith, what’s the renowned doctor’s granddaughter’s name? Why don’t you ask Miss Olivia? She might know her.”
Beside them, Joe frowned in surprise. What a coincidence! Olivia lived here, too!
Joe took a step forward and approached Olivia with an air of arrogance. “Miss Olivia, do you happen to know a young woman with the surname Smith?”
Olivia looked up coldly and calmly met his gaze. Her eyes flickered, yet she didn’t utter a word.
Joe thought she might be unwilling to share the information, and he grew displeased. He looked at Olivia with a disdainful expression and said sternly, “Ms. Taylor, you should be more generous. Since you aspire to enter the Sullivan family, you should understand what is appropriate and what is not. Don’t do anything that might displease Mrs. Sullivan. This concerns her health. I hope you can be rational and not create unnecessary trouble. Tell me where Ms. Smith is as soon as possible.”
Olivia’s eyes curved upwards, and her gaze turned cold. She said, “Your attitude might be why Miss Smith won’t show up.”
“What did you say?” Joe erupted in anger. He raised his hand and was about to open Olivia’s door.
However, before his hand could even touch the handle and open the door, another strong hand firmly pressed him against the car door with a loud thud.
Joe was stunned, his eyes wide. He turned around and realized that the person restraining him was Yanis.
“Why?” He couldn’t understand.
Unsure how to react, Henry also stood there dazed.
With a look of disgust, Yanis glanced at Joe and effortlessly tossed him aside. He then turned his gaze gently toward Olivia with an anxious expression. “Ms. Taylor, I hope I didn’t startle you.”
His words landed like thunderclaps, echoing with deafening roars over Joe and Henry’s heads.
Rullionaire’s Missing Darling
Joe’s eyes widened. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with disbelief. He muttered to himself, “How could this be? How could this be?”
Henry was equally dazed, his arms trembling. It took him a long while to regain his senses.
Olivia looked at Yanis and nodded slightly. She then addressed him affectionately. “Mr. Yanis.”
Upon hearing this, Yanis visibly relaxed He quickly explained the situation to Olivia. “Ms. Taylor, Mr. Liam Taylor instructed me to pick you up and bring you there to treat someone.”
He paused momentarily, casting a disdainful look at Joe. Then, his tone changed drastically. “However, your wishes come first. Ms. Taylor, if you don’t wish to go, you don’t have to!”
No way! Joe’s face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to object, but catching sight of the icy glare from Yanis, he swallowed his words, too scared to speak up.
Olivia paid no mind to Joe’s reaction. She did not even spare him a glance. Instead, she addressed Yanis, “Uncle Yanis, please get in the car.”
Then, she looked at Henry coldly.
Henry immediately understood what Olivia meant. He swiftly moved over, slipped into the driver’s seat, and started the car.
In the back, Joe watched the car drive away. The scalding exhaust fumes made him jump as if he had been burned. He quickly got into his own
car.
Yanis sat in the front passenger seat, and Olivia occupied the back seat. She seemed tired. Leaning against the back, she closed her eyes as she rested.
As Henry drove, he stole a glance at Olivia through the rearview mirror. He finally realized the meaning behind the two statements she had made earlier.
“The Sullivan family will send someone to bring me back.”
“No, it’s too troublesome. I’ll have to go back up in a while.” My goodness, this was ridiculous!
