Chapter 290

Daniel’s eyes were full of warmth and shined like starlight when he thought of Olivia.

Olivia protected Daniel at the bottom of the cliff seven years ago.

It was his turn to protect her now.

It was inconvenient for Daniel to get involved in the Taylor family’s matter. Also, he knew Olivia always had her ideas. Daniel would not interfere rashly before Olivia figured out how to deal with the Taylor family because he respected Olivia.

However, if anything else happened to Olivia, Daniel would stand in front of Olivia and take the bullet for her without hesitation.

Daniel trusted Olivia so much that he was willing to tell Olivia everything about his history, even though the memory about Brad was the last thing Daniel wanted to recall.

“Brad is…” Daniel leaned against the sofa and lowered his bone–chilling eyes. He continued, “Brad is selfish, cold–blooded, and always wears a hypocritical mask. He can hurt anyone for benefits without bearing guilt.”

When Daniel returned from the cliff, he completely suppressed Brad and took back the Sullivan family’s business.

Then, Daniel planned to send Brad to prison. After all, Brad tried to poison and kill Daniel.

Sadly, Daniel failed to collect any conclusive evidence.

Brad was cautious and did not leave any traces behind about his plan of poisoning Daniel. It was almost flawless.

Daniel could not prove Brad’s crime merely based on his testimony.

After all, Daniel stood there, safe and sound. Besides, there was no residual poison in his body, and his hamstrings were not broken.

A man who fell off a cliff with broken legs after being poisoned met a miracle doctor who saved his life.

It sounded like a fantasy. The police and court would not believe such a testimony that was similar to a fantasy novel.

Thus, Daniel could not accuse Brad of murder. The good news was that Daniel could have other charges against Brad.

When Brad was in charge of the Sullivan family’s business, he did a lot of evil things to make money.

These charges were enough to put Brad in jail.

When Daniel collected all the evidence and was about to hand it over to the police, Mrs. Sullivan fell ill and threatened Daniel with her life, asking Daniel to let Brad off.

Isabella considered Daniel and Brad’s fight to be the common competition for the family business. It was a typical fight in wealthy families. Thus, she did not take it as a big deal.

Daniel gave in to his mother, who was pale out of illness.

Then, Daniel sent Brad overseas and let the past become past.

Daniel knew Isabella secretly gave Brad money and shares, but he pretended not to be aware of that.

Daniel tried to let go of the past.

However, when Daniel gave up, he stopped talking to Isabella, and their mother–son relationship turned icy.

Daniel returned to the old residence because of Andrew. Daniel was worried about leaving Andrew to the servants.

Isabella doted on his grandson, Andrew, from the bottom of her heart. She tried to give all the love she owed her son to her grandson.

11:22 Billionaires. Mising Darling Thanks to Andrew, the mother son relationship between Daniel and fabella gradually eased. Olivia leaned on Daniel’s shoulder and listened to him quietly.

*3 No matter how Daniel emphasized how vicious Brad was, Olivia remained calm. When she heard about the poisoning, she sat straight immediately.

Olivia frowned and asked, “You’ve been poisoned before?” She grabbed Daniel’s right hand and tried to feel his pulse.

Daniel cried inside, “She cares about me so much!”

Daniel’s heart skipped a beat, and faint joy spread from the bottom of his heart.

“Don’t worry.” Daniel grabbed Olivia’s hand when she was checking his pulse. He explained gently, The poison has long been cleared. A miracle doctor came across me and saved me.”“

Daniel’s voice became lower and lower when he was speaking that.

Olivia was relieved after she heard Daniel’s explanation. She nodded and replied, “Oh, that is great.”

Then, she retracted her right hand and let go of Daniel. She continued to lean against the sofa. Olivia’s coldness annoyed Daniel.

Daniel thought, “I know Olivia is relieved and calm because she realizes I’m okay. But I think she is too calm.”

Daniel felt upset.

“Actually…” Daniel suddenly said, “Actually, I still have some lingering poison inside my body.”

Olivia’s body stiffened when she heard that. Panic flashed across her eyes. She put her hand back on Daniel’s to check his pulse.

Olivia found it strange after she checked Daniel’s pulse.

Olivia thought, “Daniel’s pulse is strong and vigorous. That won’t happen if Daniel has residual poison in his body.”

Olivia looked up at Daniel with her beautiful eyes.

Daniel knew his lie was exposed, but he was not nervous. He was a quick–witted person and was good at making up things.

Daniel said, “Olivia, it’s okay that you didn’t notice it. The miracle doctor pushed all the residual poison into one of my body parts. You won’t be able to find it by measuring my pulse. You have to touch that body part with your hand.”

Olivia blinked and confirmed, “Touching that body part?”

“Yes.” Daniel nodded and said in all seriousness, “I’m not feeling well.”

Daniel’s expression suddenly became serious. He continued, “The miracle doctor told me the remaining poison wouldn’t hurt me when I was healthy. However, when my immunity went down, the remaining poison could spread to every part of my body.”

Olivia frowned when she heard that.

She murmured inside, “I’ve never heard of such a medical theory. It sounds like something made up by Daniel.”

However, it was not the time for Olivia to figure out whether the medical theory was true. All her attention was on Daniel.

She was very worried that the residual poison would spread.

Olivia acted faster than she thought. Before Olivia could figure out how to deal with the remaining poison, she reached out her hand and touched Daniel’s body.

Olivia touched Daniel’s chest and asked, “Where is it?” She felt it flat and firm and considered that part healthy.

Daniel lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Well. You need to go down.”

11:22 Billionaires. Missing Darling Olivia moved her hand and touched Daniele wait.

Daniel instructed, ‘Go a little farther down.

Olivia was stunned for a moment. She talked to herself, “If I go farther, I will touch his…”

Before Olivia could finish her thought, Daniel grabbed Olivia’s hand and guided it to the destination.

Daniel asked, “Do you feel it now?”

Olivia’s palm was hot, and so was her face.

“Olivia.” Daniel suddenly leaned over and pressed down on Olivia.

Olivia felt something warm on her lips. It was Daniel kissing her.

The air conditioner in the room was on, but Olivia felt as if she was being roasted by a ball of fire. The fire in her body made her dizzy. She felt her brain blank. She tried to take deep breaths and let the fresh air dissipate the heat in her body.

Olivia was surrounded by the smell of Daniel. Then, Daniel domineeringly pounded Olivia.

Olivia tried to push Daniel away. However, Daniel did not give Olivia a chance to refuse. Daniel, who was always gentle, sensitive, and obedient before Olivia, finally displayed his domineering nature on the sofa. Daniel did not allow Olivia to reject him or to be distracted. He focused on doing what he wanted again and again from daybreak to night, as if fatigue was never his enemy.
