Chapter 90

Yvonne had always been good at sowing discords. It seemed like an ordinary sentence, but there was a hidden mine. On the surface, she was only asking Daniel why he didn’t help Olivia, but she was questioning Daniel’s feelings for Olivia.

The fuse had already been set up, waiting for the two of them to light it up and detonate the mine.

This was a trick that she was good at using. Although it was old–fashioned, it was exceptionally useful.

This was because the human heart was the most unpredictable place in the world. Once one was suspicious, there would be cracks.

Once a crack appeared, no matter how one repaired it in the future, it would not be able to recover.

Unfortunately, Olivia did not respond to her and did not take it seriously at all. She did not even have the intention to ask Daniel. Her expression did not change at all.

However, Daniel could not take it anymore. He leaned forward and looked at her.

The man was not wearing the silver suit from last night. Instead, he wore the casual clothes his assistant had sent over this morning. The thin material stuck to his body, outlining his perfect figure. It was firm and sexy, but there was something ascetic about it.

He was like a king sitting on a high throne. His casualness was already domineering.

His gaze was so searing that Olivia couldn’t help but step back, feeling uncomfortable. “Why are you staring at me?”

Daniel pinched his fingers and looked at her solemnly and carefully. “Aren’t you curious? Aren’t you curious why I didn’t say anything to protect you?”

Protecting her?

Olivia was slightly surprised. Then, her eyes turned gently, and her amber eyes were filled with pride.

“Why do I need you to protect me for such a small matter?”

She curved her lips and looked indifferent. “You think too highly of the Taylor family and less of me. In this world, only the people I care about can hurt me. No one else can hurt me. And the Taylor family…”

She chuckled, her voice cold and arrogant. “They can’t hurt me at all.” When she said this, her expression was proud and calm. Her cold eyes were shining brightly, making Daniel’s heart shrink. His body could not help but tremble slightly.

That was it. That was it. Olivia was like this when he first met her.

She was radiant and confident, and she shone like a fairy from the sky.

She was alone but dared to boast with just a silver needle in her hand. Even famous doctors could not do anything about his leg, but she was calm and confident.

Daniel used all the strength in his body to restrain the desire in his heart to hold her tightly in his arms.

His proud and confident little fairy, who was like a flame, had finally returned.

Daniel looked up. His eyes were as bright as the cold stars. “Do you know why I didn’t say anything to protect you just now?”

Olivia blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him quietly.

Daniel’s eyes lit up. “Because I know you don’t need it. I know instead of being a weak and helpless vine that entangles others, you want to be a towering tree that stands on the ground. No one can restrict you or imprison you. You will always be free.”

At this point, he paused for a moment. “I want you to know I won’t restrict and control everything about you. You will always be free, but I will become a harbor for you to rest. I will be open to you at any time.

When you are tired and sleepy, you can stay at any time.

“Olivia, I want you to remember that I will always be behind you. I will never betray you, deceive you, or doubt you. I will always be your strongest support.”

Olivia’s heart trembled as she looked at him in disbelief.

Never betraying, never deceiving, never doubting… Was he confessing to her?

It was too sudden and too fast. For a moment, she could not accept it.

“You…” Olivia wanted to say something, but Daniel stopped her. “You don’t have to make a decision now. I’ll give you time to consider it.”

Olivia lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Daniel’s eyes. After a moment, she said, “I’ll go to my room to get some things.” Then, she left as if she was escaping.

After she left, Daniel sat on the sofa and drank coffee. He picked up his coffee cup and realized that it was already empty.

He put down his coffee cup and picked up Olivia’s.

When the amid saw this, she hurried over. “Mr. Sullivan, this is Miss Olivia’s cup. I’ll pour you another cup of coffee.”

“No need.” Daniel waved his hand. His dark eyes were filled with pure love. Then, he raised his hand and drank the coffee in one gulp. I like this cup. This one is sweet.”

Then, he ate the remaining half of Olivia’s chocolate cake and praised, “Yummy.”

Seeing this, the maid’s expression was indescribable.

The chocolate cake was too sweet, and it was Olivia’s leftover. She didn’t expect Daniel to eat it and praise it.

Olivia had stayed on the second floor last night. Everything of hers was there. She entered the room and was about to retrieve her things when she found someone sitting there.

It was actually Yvonne.

“What are you doing here?” Olivia frowned and asked.

She didn’t have a good impression of Yvonne. Dumb dogs were dangerous. Although Emma was barking loudly, she was only fierce on the surface. She was timid actually and couldn’t do anything evil.

However, Yvonne was different. She had a vicious heart and vicious methods. She knew how to keep a low file and wouldn’t give up on achieving her goal. She was a ruthless person.

Yvonne sat on the chair with her chin propped up. She smiled innocently at Olivia and said innocently, “Do you have a misunderstanding about me? Speaking of which, there’s no irreconcilable conflict between us. “Between you and Emma, Samuel and Amelia are biased toward her. There’s also the engagement, so you two can’t get along.

“But I’m different. There’s no conflict of interest between us.”

Yvonne was good with words. She wanted to lower Olivia’s guard.

Unfortunately, Olivia ignored her and just packed her things.

Seeing this, Yvonne became anxious and said impatiently, “What’s your relationship with Daniel?”

Olivia, who was holding the jacket, paused. She frowned and looked at her. Her tone was indifferent as she said, “What does it have to do with you?”

“Are you angry?” Yvonne tilted her head. “Don’t be angry. I’m serious. You said that you grew up in Layfield. The grandfather who raised you was just an old doctor in a hospital. To you, the Taylor family is an unattainable existence.

“Have you never lived in such a big house? Have you never seen so much money? And these branded goods, have you never heard of them?” Yvonne’s tone was mocking.

“What on earth are you trying to do?” Olivia frowned, and her expression was still impatient.

“What am I trying to do?” Yvonne’s eyes shifted, and her tone suddenly became sharp. “Of course, I’m trying to help you! Do you know that a man’s wealth is his ruin? There are some things that a bumpkin from a small town like you can’t get. It might kill one even when gold strikes.”

As she spoke, she threw out a bank card. “There’s 6 million dollars in here. Leave Daniel and get lost with this money. The further, the better.”

Yvonne’s tone was arrogant and bossy. She acted like she was in the position of the superior and didn’t take Olivia seriously.

Hearing this, Olivia finally got it. She was a little amused. “You like Daniel, right?”

Yvonne leaned back in her chair and gave orders like a queen. “Let me give you a piece of advice. It’s important to know your limits. You’re only worthy of an average rich second–generation. You can’t dream of an outstanding person like Daniel. If you know what’s good for you, stay away. If you don’t, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

As she spoke, she stood up and stared at Olivia. Her tone was like a venomous snake. “Last time, it was all that idiot Emma’s fault that you escaped. But for me, I won’t give you a second chance. If you fall into my hands, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
