Chapter 371
The Substitute Bride Doted by My Billionaire Husband
Chapter 371 As time goes by
Mr. Paulo was planning on taking the initiative to marry Nora into the Robert family.
When Mr.Paulo saw that Joyce was pregnant and her stomach was growing bigger by the day, he was every afraid. Afraid that Joyce would wake one morning and decide to find Damien. If Joyce did, then everything he had laboured for would be in vain.
However, Joyce had no intention of searching for Damien at all.
Joyce loved her daughter so much, and she also enjoyed her motherhood journey. Joyce cherished her daughter, but she didnât really like the man she had had a child with. Hence, she had never gone in search of him.
Of course, there was a time Mr. Paulo saw Anabelle. Joyce and Anabelle were friends, and Joyce had narrated to Anabelle what transpired that night. Although Mr. Paulo didnât hear the details, he still felt unhappy that Joyce had succeeded in getting pregnant with Damienâs seed.
Mr. Paulo was also very worried about Damien. The entire city knew that Damien didnât like women, and he was afraid that Damien wouldnât want to take responsibility for Noraâs pregnancy.
Mr. Paulo clearly remembered that day. Damien stood in front of the window. He stared at Nora for a long time. then he nodded and agreed to take responsibility.
Mr. Paulo didnât know what went through Damienâs mind, but one thing was certain. Damien had never forgotten about that night!
Over the years, Mr. Paulo had devised multiple strategies and became the dean of the Academy Of Sciences. His daughter, Nora, became Damienâs wife. Although Damien neglected Nora for many years, he singlehandedly supported the Paulo family to become one of the four wealthy families in Imperial.
Now, everything was about to become chaotic. Olive was actually the biological daughter of Joyce and Damien!
Mr. Paulo suddenly narrowed his cloudy eyes. He remembered the first time he saw Olive. He had a very familiar feeling. Olive was beautiful, smart and calm.
He had been looking for Joyce and Damienâs biological daughter for years, wanting to eradicate the roots, because he knew that the biological daughter of Damien was capable of destroying everything that the Paulo family had acquired over the years.
âOlive!â Mr. Paulo was mulling over the name in his heart. She was indeed the biological daughter of Joyce and Damien.
In years to come, Mr. Paulo didnât know what Olive might do to them. Hence he needed to get rid of her right away!
âNora, leave Oliveâs issue to me, Iâll allow Houston take care of it. But remember, Crystalâs background must not be exposed!â He warned.
Nora was not st upid. Crystalâs background was a secret that she had to keep.
She nodded, and replied, âDad, I canât tell anyone, okay? But Oliveâs issue cannot be delayed. The more she lives, the harder it is to destroy her.â
âI know.â Mr. Paulo muttered calmly.
Mr. Paulo ended the call and went to Houstonâs room. Houston wasnât resting. There were several small bottles and jars on his table. He was doing some researches.
âWhy donât you take a rest?â Mr. Paulo asked with concern.
Houston raised his head. He was very handsome, but his face exuded a sinister aura.
âGrandpa, Iâm not feeling sleepy yet.â He replied.
Mr. Paulo nodded and stepped further into his room.
âJoyce Brownâs daughter has appeared. Her name is Olive Hart.â Mr. Paulo initiated.
Houston who was holding a vial in his hands suddenly halted, and his blue eyes shone with a fierce light.
âGrandpa, do you mean Joyce Brownâs daughter who has the blood of immortality?â
âYes, Olive is Joyceâs daughter. She must also have the blood of Immortality.â
Houston grabbed a small red vial and handled it to Mr. Paulo.
âWell, thatâs great. Iâve been researching the poison that can alter the blood of the immortal.â
Mr. Paulo had been obsessed with medicine all his life. He grabbed the vial, and askril,
âWhatâs in it?
Houston scoffed and slowly said, âIngredients from Joyceâs book.â
Hearing his response, Mr. Paulo revealed a satisfied and relieved smile.
More then twenty years ago, Joyce didnât only bring a medical book, but also a book of polson.
However, Joyce was of the opinion that medicine and poison could not coexist, so she wanted to destroy the poison book.
Mr. Paulo had taken the opportunity to hid the poison book.
Years later, he had given the hook to his grandson, Houston. Even if Joyce was already dead, he still wanted to prove to Joyce that he was right. Poison could stir pass medicine and give people everything they dreamt of!
In the hospital.
Olive shuddered her eyelashes, then opened her eyes. She was now in the ward, and an IV was connected to her vein.
At this moment, Marvin walked over and held her small land.
âOlive, are you awake already?â He asked tenderly.
Olive still felt weak. She almost drowned in the swimming pool. She was still very weak after escaping death. Marvin helped her up and placed a soft cu shion behind her.
âOlive, youâll be fine, okay? Youâll recover after a couple of days. All you need to do now is just have some rest.â
Olive stared gratefully at Marvin.
âMarvin, thank you. If you hadnât arrived in time to save me, I might have really died.â
Marvinâs black eyes fell on Oliveâs face, and then he said calmly, âOlive, it wasnât me who saved you, itâs Elvis.â
Olive stiffened.
Marvin didnât want to hide the truth from her. He was open and aboveboard.
âOlive, I was chatting with Mrs. Robert when you had fallen into the swimming pool. It was Elvis who jumped into the swimming pool to save you. I was told that you were already out of breathe when Elvis brought you outl Everyone thought that you were dead, but Elvis didnât give up on you. He gave you a CPR, forcibly pulling you back
to life.â
