Billionaire’s Missing Darling

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.
