Chapter 490
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Olivia raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to look at the commotion In the venue.
Braeden seemed to have gone crazy, insisting that the competition could not continue. Braeden was determined to find out who had killed the Voodoo worm.
Braeden jumped up and down. âMr. Fiores, is this what you mean by foolproof? Now that such a big mess has happened in the competition, how can you still have the face to host this Star Competition?
Quickly hand over the hosting rights while the Star Competition has just begun. The four families will hold it together!
âIf the Flores family doesnât give us an explanation today, then thereâs no need to hold the Star Competition anymore!
âIâm sure you know what level Lucy is at. If you want to suppress her, do it openly in the competition.
Donât play these underhanded tricks!â
Dolph was indeed at a disadvantage, so he didnât say anything as Braeden continued to berate him. It was only when Dolph heard the last sentence that his face suddenly turned cold.
Braeden was slandering the Flores family.
âWhat do you mean by underhanded tricks?â Dolph retorted. âMr. Lopez, if you have any doubts, just say it directly. Donât use a roundabout way to imply that the Flores family is up to no good! I agree that Lucy has always been the best at controlling voodoo worms, but the Flores family s not bad, either.
Many talented juniors have surfaced. Iâm not so petty as o secretly harm a juniorâs voodoo worm!â
Braeden sneered. Braeden crossed his arms and stood in the middle. Then find the murderer and give the Lopez family and everyone else ere an explanation for what happened today!
Today, Lucyâs voodoo worm died. Tomorrow, it might be the voodoo orms of the other participants!â
iraeden was aggressive and refused to give in. Dolph had no choice but > promise to suspend the competition and find the culprit first.
olph called the manager who was in charge of taking care of the podoo worms backstage to ask about the voodoo worms.
16-541 nager trembled. âMr. Flores, all the voodoo worms are placed backstage to be managed. Special people are guarding them, and than the participants, almost no one else can enter in that case, the murderer is among the participants!â Dolphâs eyes. sharpened as he stared at the manager.
The manager was so frightened that his forehead was covered in sweat. He shook his head anxiously.
âI donât know. I really donât know.â
Lucyâs mood remained low. The death of the voodoo worm that had been with her for many years was no different from losing her family. Lacy remained in a daze.
After a long while, Lucy finally calmed down.
Lucy looked at the manager and enunciated each word as she spoke, âThe voodoo worm canât die out of thin air. I even went to see it this morning. During the competition, it couldnât move. This means that the murderer is someone who went in this morning!â
This morning?â The manager thought.
After this reminder, the manager instantly reacted. âNot many people went backstage to look at the voodoo worms this morning. There were only a few participants andâ¦â
At this point, the managerâs expression changed and his body instantly stiffened.
Braeden realized that something was wrong. Braeden grabbed the managerâs shoulder and asked, âWho else? Tell us!â
The manager shivered and said in a trembling voice, âIt was⦠Saintess.â As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if an explosion had gone off. Lucy shook her head in disbelief. âItâs⦠her!â
Someone interjected, âI did see Saintess Flores at the backstage area with the voodoo worms. She did say that she would let that girl, Charlee, get a good ranking. At that time, I even mocked them. How could an unknown little girl stand out among so many elites of the four families? It turns outâ¦â
The person stopped talking, but it had already planted the seed of doubt in everyoneâs mind.
Everyone was talking at once. One after another, they convicted Olivia in the blink of an eye and determined that she was the one who had harmed the voodoo worm.
ph did not actually like Berry, but they were family after all, and their were related. Dolph did not want Berry to be tainted with such isations, so he said, âThereâs no concrete evidence yet, so how can sure she did it? Moreover, Saintess did not participate in the ition, so thereâs no reason for her to harm Lucyâs voodoo worm.â Thereâs a reasonlâ Joey spoke loudly. âI know why she tried to kill Lucyâs voodoo worm. Itâs because of Daniel. For the past two days, she has been ostracizing us in Maple Villa. She must have been afraid that Lucyâs victory today would attract Danielâs attention. Thatâs why she killed the voodoo worm!â
âDonât tell me Saintess Flores is interested in Daniel?â Someone laughed mockingly.
The others also whispered among themselves, feeling this possibility was very high.
Dolphâs face darkened. âCall Saintess over here.â
Olivia was still in the audience. Although she was curious about how the voodoo worm had died, she did not go over.
Daniel was right beside her, and Olivia wanted to spend more time with him.
Olivia was a little surprised to see someone coming to get her. âWhatâs the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?â
The personâs face was red. Perhaps it was because he ran too quickly, he stammered as she spoke, âSaintess, go over quickly. Theyâre investigating the murder of the voodoo worm.â
Hearing this, Olivia raised her eyebrows. Oliviaâs mind raced, and she instantly guessed what was going on.
Theyâre trying to slander me!â Olivia thought to herself.
Olivia suddenly stood up, and a sharp aura burst forth from between her brows. Olivia said coldly, âLead the way.
There was already a tight crowd of people in the backstage area. However, when Olivia arrived, everyone subconsciously made way for her to pass.
Joey hid behind the crowd and stared at Berry in front of her with a dark gaze. Although Berryâs face was covered, her aura was shocking.
Joey clenched her fists and thought of Jasonâs instructions. A trace of smugness flashed in Joeyâs eyes.
Flores, thereâs no need for you to be smug. From today onwards, will be naded to the pillar of shame for murdering voodoo worms se you are jealous of others. Let Daniel see your true colors!â
was sure that Daniel wouldnât continute to let such a person with a f character stay in Maple Villa.
Olivia walked to the center of the crowd. Olivia did not look like she was being interrogated at all, Instead, she looked like a big shot who could tell right from wrong, instantly controlling the situation.
Tell me, what happened?â Olivia slowly lifted her eyelids and looked at everyone.
Joey stepped forward and said coldly, âI really didnât expect you to be so calm at this time. Your mental fortitude is indeed strong! Let me ask you, did you come backstage to see the voodoo worms before the competition?â
Oliviaâs lips curled upwards. Her expression was calm and composed, carrying an innate aura of nobility and arrogance. âWhy? Is there a place in the Flores family that I canât go to? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you?â
Joeyâs expression changed. Joey was instantly intimidated by her aura and was speechless for a long time. It took her a while to react. Joey could not help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. âYouâre still changing the topic at a time like this. No matter how calm and high your status is, it canât change the fact that youâre jealous of Lucy!
âYouâre clearly coveting Daniel. Itâs one thing for you to take up all his time at Maple Villa, but youâre actually so ruthless as to kill Lucyâs voodoo worm!â
Joey had deliberately timed it. Jason had already sent someone to bring Daniel over. Joey was merely waiting for the moment Daniel entered the door to shout these words.
Joey wanted to let Daniel know how evil Berry was and that she would do anything because of jealousy.
Men hated scheming women. Their scheme was not thorough, but it did. not matter. Jason had already said that he wanted Daniel to have a preconceived impression. As long as Daniel had a bad impression of Berry, their scheme would succeed.
It did not matter whether Berry was determined to be guilty or not.
After saying this, Joey turned around and looked at the door with a smug Daniel had just entered when he heard these words. Daniel was stunned. Daniel had settled into a little bubble of happiness.
Was Livy lighting for my favor? Does she like me so much that she wants. me to pay attention to her?â
Daniel wondered.
Oh my gosh, Iâm so excited, what should I do?â Daniel thought.Daniel had to use almost all his selfâ
control to stop himself from laughing out loud.
