Chapter 358
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
The Manson family had been on guard, but on the fourth day, Olivia still did not make any move. At this time, Winonaâs vote count had already reached 10 million. It had almost reached its limit.
As for Oliviaâs vote count, it was just over a million votes.
There was no way they could catch up in a day.
Not only did the Manson family think that victory was in their grasp, but even the judges and other contestants felt that Winona would definitely win this time.
âWhat a pity.â Sandra and the others were feeling regretful.
From the bottom of her heart, Olivia was indeed much better than Winona. However, if the people could not be present at the scene and only looked at it through videos or photos, it would greatly affect the impression of the painting. It would be difficult to tell which was good or bad.
To be honest, if Sandra was also a commoner and had not seen Oliviaâs painting with her own eyes, she would not be able to tell what was good about Oliviaâs painting through the pictures on the Internet.
At most, it was only slightly better than Winonaâs.
âHey, where did they find this photographer? Sandra felt there was something fishy about this, âWho adds filters to the painting? The color has changed.
Tinaâsitting next to her, held her chin and looked puzzled. âOlivia doesnât seem to be in a hurry at all.
Even Riley and Casey are campaigning for votes, but Olivia hasnât done anything. How strange.â
âMaybe she just doesnât care.â Sandra sighed. This was the only explanation that made sense.
Bettanyâs work had also entered the finals. However, with her current situation and the fact that she had. just become a disciple, it was not suitable for her to be in the limelight. She only needed to stand out gradually, so she did not care much about the outcome of the finals.
Hence, she did not campaign for votes.
She had already achieved her goal. Now, there were already people discussing her in the art world.
They said that she had spiritual energy and that her future would definitely be limitless.
That was enough.
Although she did not care much about the final results, Bettany was still very curious about who would win in the end.
These days, she had been paying attention to the votes on the Internet.
She originally thought that Winona would be evenly matched with Olivia, but she did not expect the gap to be so significant.
The votes of Winona were already ten times the votes of Olivia.
Was this the power of the Grant family?
Bettany lowered her eyes. She felt as if she had opened the door to another world.
The Manson family only had the Grant family as its backer, but they had the connections of the national TV station and used it for campaigning for votes.
As for Olivia, although she was the head of the Smith family and her fiancé was the richest man, Daniel Sullivan, she had no power to fight back.
Bettany called Olivia.
The call was answered by Elena, âWhereâs Olivia?â Bettany was puzzled. âWhy is her phone with you?â
Elena was sorting out some documents, and she had been extremely busy these few days. When she heard Bettanyâs question, she said straightforwardly. âMiss Taylor is busy. If you have anything to say, tell me. Iâll pass the message.â
âOh Bettany paused for a moment and looked down at the Patek Philippe watch on her wrist. Her tone was calm and carried a slight sense of superiorly. âI wander if she needs my help What help!â Elena did not have the time to ponder the special meaning in Bettanyâs words and asked directly âItâs about the painting competition, Bettany reminded her. âI saw that her votes are very low and arr already far behind Winonaâs. If she needs it, I can talk to Alexander and promote her on the national TV station When she said this, Bettanyâs tone was calm, as if she could command the national TV station with a wave of her hand âOh my Godâ Elena suddenly stood up and slapped her forehead hard. Her tone was extremely vexed.
âOh my God, why am I so stupid? Iâve been so busy these past few days that Iâve forgotten about the painting competition.â
âYou forgot?â Bettany was in disbelief How could she forget about that?
This was a painting competition. How could she forget such an important matter? Did she have a brain? âYouâre really.. Bettany could not care less about putting on airs. She directly scolded Elena.
âHow can you forget such a big matter! Hurry up and tell her.â
âBettany, you donât know,â Elena explained. These past few days have been extremely hectic. Miss Taylor has a lot of things to do that she canât care about the small matters at allâ
âSmall matter? You actually said this is a small matter?â Bettany could not understand.
For the sake of this competition, she did not even care about her body and did not rest at all. She put a lot of effort into participating in the competition. In the end. Elena actually said that it was a small matter. âItâs not quactly a small matterâ Elena quickly corrected herself âItâs just that, for the other things that Miss Taylor has to do, this competition is hardly worth mentioning. Alright, I wonât discuss it further with Jou Elena hurriedly hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone. Bettany stared at the phone for a long time.
After a while, she laughed bitterly.
She understood.
Elena had said this on purpose to show the difference between Olivia and her.
She just wanted to overshadow her.
That was true. In such a short period of time, she had gone from a pitiful person who had been rescued by Olivia to someone who could help Olivia at will.
Presumably, other than Elena, Olivia might also not be able to accept the change in her identity for a while.
In that case, she would give them some time to adapt.
In the end, if Olivia really couldnât accept the fact that her status was higher than hers, then she could only stop contacting her.
She would repay Oliviaâs kindness to her, but she had lost all her feelings for her.
After standing by the window for a while, Bettany started coughing.
A piece of clothing was draped over her back.
Bettany turned around and immediately saw Alexander.
âYouâre back!â She was pleasantly surprised.
Yes. Alexander looked at Bettany calmly, and his tone was very gentle. âHow are you? Are you feeling âMuch better. Bettanyâs eyes sparkled.
She thought of Olivia and suddenly asked. âAlexander, do you think this painting competition is a small master!
Alexander tiled his head and thought seriously for a moment before saying, âFor me, itâs indeed a small inarter Hearing this, Bettany chuckled. Her tone was emotionless. With your status, the painting competition is indeed a small matter, but Olivia also said that this competition is a small matter. Donât you think it funny!
Hearing Bettany mention Olivia, Alexander was a little distracted.
He suddenly remembered the first time he saw Olivia. She was so smart and her eyes were extremely cunning. She was like a little fox and full of spirit.
Alexander could not help but smile.
It was only when he heard Bettanyâs soft call that he suddenly came back to his senses As he lowered his head and met Bettanyâs gaze. Alexander felt a hint of unease, a touch of guilt, and a sense of urgency He felt guilty for not finding Bettany sooner, allowing her to suffer for so many years. He had made a promise to protect her, and he needed to fulfill that responsibility. How could he even think of another woman?
Once a man felt guilty, he would want to compensate. The most common compensation was material, especially for a man like Alexander who did not lack money.
Then, he asked Bettany. Tm going to Europe next week. Is there anything youâd like as a gift
