Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 4

Regarding giving some shares to Olivia, Amelia didn’t really care much about it. She already felt guilty for losing her daughter in the first place. When Liam proposed to give her shares, it could at least make up for some of it.

“As for Emma, she got me,” thought Amelia.

Amelia was the daughter of the Green family, which was a rich family no weaker than the Taylor family, and Amelia had a lot of shares in the Green family.

At that time, she could just give Emma the shares of the Green family.

After Liam announced the welcome dinner, Amelia began to prepare.

She felt guilty about her lost daughter, and because of the situation with Emma, she developed some estrangement with Olivia. She wanted to seize this opportunity to mend the rift between her and Olivia.

In the past, whenever the Taylor family had a banquet, there would be someone in charge of it. For family dinners, they had an in–house butler. For official events, they would hire professional teams. There was absolutely no need for Amelia to get involved personally.

This time, she took it upon herself to oversee every tiny detail personally, leaving no flaw to chance and striving for perfection in all aspects.

The Green family had someone come over to help. The person was Amelia’s sister, Maddie Green.

As soon as Maddie arrived at the Taylor family, she saw her sister worrying about all kinds of small details and even asking what flowers to present on the day of the dinner.

Upon seeing this, Maddie rolled her eyes and pulled Amelia aside, speaking with a tone of contempt, “Amelia, what’s the use of focusing on those details?”

Amelia was puzzled. “Isn’t the details important?” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Maddie was left speechless. “Amelia, it seems you are preoccupied with trivial matters. There are dedicated personnel overseeing the details of the banquet, so you don’t need to worry about it at all. The most crucial matter now is Olivia.”

Amelia was still at a loss.

Maddie let out a sigh and said, “Etiquette, my sister. Do you even know that Olivia has been living on her own for 18 years? It’s hard enough for her to survive, let alone have time and money to learn proper etiquette. You need to focus on getting her ready and presentable. Find someone to train her in manners and skincare.

“Dining manners are not urgent right now. I’m afraid there won’t be time to eat on that day, but she must definitely have a crash course on wine etiquette. When Mr. Liam brings her out that day, there will surely be people coming over to toast.”

“Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!” Amelia suddenly realized that she had forgotten such an important thing. “Thank goodness Maddie reminded me,” she thought.

“By the way,” Maddie reminded her, “does Olivia have any remarkable talents? It would be great if she could perform at the banquet. For a girl from a wealthy family like her, if she lacks talents or can’t inherit the family business, the only way out is to marry.”

The appearance at the dinner party was crucial for Olivia.

“If she performs well, there will be numerous proposals from various families for marriage. She doesn’t need to worry about finding a suitable husband, and it might even help our family business by forging alliances. “If she couldn’t perform well, things will be difficult from now on. She’s a daughter brought in from outside, and if she is not outstanding enough, those from higher social classes will definitely look down on her. In that case, she can only look for matches from lower social classes,” thought Amelia.

The Taylor family’s daughter, who had been missing for 18 years, had been found. The news had caused quite a stir in high society in Evervale. This was a new thing. Many people were watching the progress of this matter.

Among the many people who paid attention to this matter, the Turner family was the most concerned.

Because it was about the marriage of the Turner family’s son, Ethan Turner, and Emma.

This marriage agreement was originally made by Liam and Timothy Turner. The agreed–upon parties for marriage were Ethan and Emma.

However, the “Emma” in the marriage agreement at the beginning and the current “Emma” were not the same person. To be precise, the person in the marriage agreement should be Olivia.

There was a reason behind this.

At that time, the Taylor family’s youngest daughter, Emma, went missing, and her mom, Amelia, got super depressed and messed up her ment*l state. Samuel brought home a little girl from an orphanage to comfort her and lied, saying she was their missing daughter.

Amelia had ment*l problems at the time and did not recognize anyone at all, so she took the little girl as her own daughter and called her Emma.

It wasn’t until three years later, when Amelia returned to normal, that she learned the truth.

But at that time, Amelia already had developed feelings for the daughter she had brought back, and this girl also occupied the name of her own daughter.

The matter had thus clumsily passed by, with no opportunity for correction.

Therefore, the Turner family was now very concerned about whether it was the real Miss Olivia to fulfill the marriage agreement with Ethan or the fake Miss Emma, who had been raised in the Taylor family for more than 10 years.

Personally, Ethan’s mother, Karen, favored Emma more in her heart. After all, Emma had grown up under her own eyes. She was beautiful and intelligent, smart and thoughtful. Besides, she was also wholeheartedly devoted to Ethan.

On the other hand, Olivia had always been an outsider. It was unclear whether her identity was innocent or if she had any character issues.

But this matter was not something that Karen alone could decide, and it depended on the two families.

In addition to the Turner family, which had close ties to the Taylor family, the Sullivan family had also received invitations.

The invitations with gilded letters were sent directly to the office of Daniel Sullivan, the head of the Sullivan family.

“Mr. Sullivan.” The secretary knocked on the door.

Daniel was looking at a contract. Hearing the knock on the door, he raised his eyebrows, put down the paperwork, and said, “Come in.”

The voice was casual with a careless laziness. He seemed to be in a good mood, but only the secretary who knew him well knew that he was not happy and seemed to be slightly irritable.

“Five years ago, Mr. Sullivan regained his position as the head of the family and brought back a clever and handsome little boy.

“Since then, this kind of irritability has often appeared in him,” thought the secretary.

The secretary was very afraid of Daniel. Over the years, the Sullivan family’s business had grown bigger and bigger. Originally ranked as one of the four prominent families in Evervale, the Sullivan family had now surpassed the other three and left the Turner, Taylor, and Green families far behind, becoming the leading family in Evervale.

However, what followed was the growing and intimidating power of Daniel, accompanied by an increasingly terrible temperament. “Despite any fear, I must go in, and who knows, maybe Mr. Sullivan will be pleased this time.” The secretary encouraged himself and slowly pushed the door open.

Daniel sat in the spacious leather chair, wearing a white dress shirt with his sleeves rolled up to rest his arm on the chair’s armrest. He exuded an elegant and refined demeanor as he glanced briefly at his secretary, his eyes calm.

“Say it,” he spoke.

The secretary approached cautiously, handing the invitation to him.

Upon checking it out, Daniel disdainfully chuckled and flung the invitation onto the secretary. “Why are you sending this to me?”

The secretary explained instantly, “It was sent by Mrs. Isabella.”

“Oh?” Daniel looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

The secretary licked his dry lips and began to speak nervously, “This banquet is being held by the Taylor family for their missing daughter, Miss Olivia, who went missing for 18 years. Mrs. Isabella

wishes for to bring Mr. Andrew along and see if they like each other…”

After speaking, the secretary secretly looked up and stole a glance at Daniel.

“In my opinion, no matter how handsome and wealthy a person is, he will still experience the pressure of getting married one day.

“However, Mr. Sullivan is indeed too picky. Over the years, there have been hundreds of matches for him to consider, but he has declined every one of them, citing a lack of time due to childcare responsibilities.

“Later on, he simply said that in order to protect Mr. Andrew from being bullied, the future Mrs. Sullivan would be personally chosen by Mr. Andrew,” said the secretary inwardly.

Originally, Mrs. Isabella had high requirements for her daughter–in–law, who had to come from a good family, be beautiful, intelligent, and have a good temperament. There were so many requirements that one could have written a book about it. But now, Isabella only had two standards left.

A woman and alive.
