Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 391

Shawn didn’t make a better game. Instead, he praised the game that Olivia had

made.

Andrew felt very bored and unhappy. “Shawn, since you can’t make a game, why did you make a

promise? You’re being too proud. It’s not good to be too proud.” Shawn was very embarrassed and

explained in a low voice, “I didn’t expect Olivia to be so impressive.”

Andrew didn’t stay in the annex building for long and Elena came back with him. After sending Andrew

upstairs to rest, Elena went to the study room to look for Olivia.

“Miss Taylor, tomorrow is the day of Gillian’s banquet.” Elena turned on her computer with a serious

expression and explained in detail, “Almost half of the Smith family members will be coming. Some of

them wanted to establish connections with Gillian, promising to support Jarron as the head of the

family. Some who don’t understand the situation thought that it is merely a year–end banquet, so they

came without knowing the situation.”

“Are we going to do something?” Elena looked at Olivia anxiously.

Olivia did not even look up. She lowered her head and was studying the music score. She said

casually, “Ignore them.”

Elena frowned with a worried expression, but she did not say anything to dissuade her.

She was getting more and more proficient in handling things now. She would never refute Olivia’s

instructions. If there was anything she didn’t understand, she would slowly figure it out herself. Only

when she couldn’t figure it out after trying so hard then she would ask for Olivia’s explanations.

On Gillian’s side, everything was being handled carefully.

There were many things to arrange for the banquet at the end of the year. They needed to consider

numerous things including accommodation, the banquet hall, and the speech that day.

Fortunately, the Grant family had sent people over to help. Otherwise, Gillian would not be able to

handle it all by herself.

During dinner, Gillian finally had time to take a break. After having some Cereal, she leaned back in her

chair to rest after eating just a small portion of food. “Why are you eating so little?” Jarron handed a

glass of hot milk to Gillian. “You looked so exhausted. Don’t worry too much. We’re sure to win this

time.”

Gillian sat up straight and slowly drank the milk. She said worriedly, “Olivia is too smart. At such a

critical moment, we have to be more cautious to prevent her move. Who knows what she’s thinking?”

Gillian looked distressed. “She has always been full of tricks. She has been quiet during this period,

which means she must have a plan. On the day of the grand banquet, if she offers even greater

benefits, there’s a chance that some of our members may waver.”

The Sath family members were all opportunists. In order to win them over, Gillian offered a lot of

benefits. Most of these benefits came from Tom’s personal wealth, nearly depleting his fortune.

If they could successfully win over the family members and gain acceptance from the Smith family, then

they were at least not wasting his wealth.

What if, at the last moment, Olivia offered even greater benefits and managed to win over the family

members? Wouldn’t that be a case of a double loss?

At that time, Tom would not let Gillian and Jarron off.

Thinking of this, Gillian was determined to meet a few more powerful figures. Gillian and Jarron met a

few groups of people. They only heaved a sigh of relief when they completely persuaded them to join

forces.

In the hotel suite, more than family members gathered in the room, surrounding an old man, Johan

Smith, in the middle and discussing the banquet.

“Johan, are we really going to support Jarron and Gillian?” The one who spoke was Ernest Smith, one

of the capable young men in the Smith family.

Ernest was an elite lawyer and was very proficient in the law. He knew that the Smith family’s industries

were all inherited by Olivia. Even if Jarron obtained the position of the head of the family, he would only

be a figurehead without much power and benefits.

Foolish.” Johan looked at Ernest coldly and pointed at him. “You’re still too young

When considering things, don’t just look at the immediate situation, you have to consider the long term.

“Indeed, Olivia is currently very popular and possesses a lot of assets. She is also the fiancée of the

richest man. But she is just an ordinary woman and can’t compare to the Grant family.

“What’s even more crucial is that since Olivia took over the Smith family for so long, has she worked for

the benefit of the family members?

“She simply doesn’t care about anything,” Johan said coldly. “She doesn’t care about the family

members at all. What gives her the right to be the head of the Smith family and give orders to them?

Even if she’s rich, it has nothing to do with. them.”

Ernest also knew that what his uncle said made sense, but another uncle, Alvin, had always supported

Olivia.

Alvin was the wisest elder in the Smith family and his words needed to be considered.

“Don’t mention Alvin to me.” Johan looked down on Alvin and his tone was

solemn. “Just wait and see. Alvin will definitely not do well if he follows Olivia. In contrast, we will

definitely prosper in the future.”

At the same time, Roger Smith was reading a book in another room.

His grandnephew asked him in a low voice, “When Jarron came over just now, why didn’t you stand

firmly on his side? Instead, you sounded hesitant.”

Roger’s behavior was somewhat like that of a fence–sitter.

“Silly child.” Roger narrowed his eyes and smiled. “I won’t insist on supporting Jarron. That way, he will

give me more benefits. More importantly, Olivia hasn’t contacted me yet.”

“What do you mean?” The grandnephew was confused.

He chuckled. “Among the branches of our family, we are the most prosperous one. We have more

members than Alvin and Johan combined. With so many votes, how can Olivia not find us for support?

She must be feeling anxious right

now!”

Roger’s tone was firm. “Tomorrow morning, no, there’s no need to wait until tomorrow morning. She’ll

call me tonight and promise me even greater benefits.” “Are you saying that… His grandnephew’s eyes

lit up.

“Of course, we’ll support whoever offers more benefits.” Roger looked as if he was ready to leverage

his position.

He was at his most relaxed now. His branch had the most people and votes, making him the focal point

of the competition between Jarron and Olivia. Of course, he couldn’t easily commit.

He had to maximize the benefits.

Roger had already made up his mind. When Olivia called later, he would put on airs and not agree

easily. He had to make Olivia offer substantial benefits.

Not only did he want her to arrange jobs for his grandchildren, but he also aimed to become the

chairman. It would be even better if he could acquire some shares of the Sullivan Group.

The shares of Sullivan Group are like a goose that laid the golden eggs. With these shares, all his

younger generation would be free of worries.

“Charge my phone.” Roger was confident and smug. “Wait for Olivia’s call. Remember, don’t answer it

immediately when it rings. Wait a few seconds before that. We need to make Olivia anxious.”

There were nearly 10,000 members in the Smith family. Of course, not all of them could attend the

banquet. Excluding some of the weak and underage. members, those who came to the banquet had

decision–making authority.

Even so, there were still more than two thousand people.

Isaac was the eldest brother of the Smith family. With his eight younger brothers, they form the nine

branches of the Smith family. Apart from Alvin, who openly

supported Olivia, everyone else was somewhat ambiguous.

Yanis and Blake reported this matter to Olivia.

Although Olivia already had the intention to clearly divide these branches, Blake remained concerned

and suggested, “Miss Olivia, Roger’s branch has the largest number of people and his younger

generation is mostly capable. I heard that they aren’t very supportive of Jarron. Should we consider

bringing this branch over to our side?”

Olivia was flipping through the genealogy book of the Smith family. When she heard this, she looked up

with a puzzled tone. “Does he have the most people?” “Yes, this branch has the most people.”

Olivia nodded, saying, “That’s perfect. Let’s split up with them. I don’t like crowds.” Blake sighed.
