Olivia looked surprised, as the car image didn’t quite match Mathew’s. However, she smiled and said, “That won’t be necessary, Matthew oversees the entire Grant Group, so he must be busy.”

“Not busy at all. Nowadays, Matthew is quite free every day. His main job now is driving Mrs. Anderson, you might not know, but Matthew’s current hobby is being a driver.”

Louis’s remarks repeatedly alluded to Matthew’s occupation as a driver, carrying a provocative undertone. While Matthew tolerated it once or twice, hearing the relentless taunting stirred up his temper, which he had barely kept in check. “Looks like Mr. Santos is quite free, too. I wonder if Santos Group’s restaurants have already closed down. Seems like you have nothing better to do.”

Louis thought, “Bringing up Santos Group’s restaurants again to threaten met He just won’t let it go. And besides the restaurants, our recent projects at Santos Group have hit a rough patch. He knows how to hit me where it hurts, indeed!”

Louis was thoroughly provoked by Matthew, his usually refined and dignified demeanor briefly contorted with anger. He couldn’t swallow this insult and felt compelled to retaliate. With meaningful smile, he said, “Actually, I’m in a good mood today. Mrs. Anderson, did you know? I bought a new car today and ran into a social media sensation. Can you guess who? It’s Valerie Warren, who’s been making waves online recently!”

The name “Valerie Warren” slipped out, and Matthew’s already calm expression darkened even further. Olivia noticed his displeasure and grew curious. “Who is Valerie Warren?” The name sounded somewhat familiar to her.

“Of course, she’s a rare beauty, not just striking in appearance but also quite capable. It’s a pity she had a tough upbringing. with no love from her parents…

Upon hearing this, Olivia recalled. “Oh, it’s her! I vaguely remember the news now. Leon mentioned her to me. That girl has had a tough life but hasn’t gone astray and manages to support herself. She’s been through a lot. Olivia seemed quite reflective as she spoke about it. She thought, That girl is only 25 years old. Considering Sarah’s age, if she grows up successfully, she’ll be 25 soon, too…

Thinking about Sarah, Olivia felt a pang of sadness. The Anderson family had longed to find their lost child, and if they did. they would shower her with love and care. It was unfathomable that a family would cast out their daughter when others sought to reclaim their missing child. Olivia felt deeply distressed upon hearing this news. She had wanted to watch the videos to scrutinize her closely, but Leon worried it would only cause more heartache, so he intervened.

At that moment, Olivia’s phone rang with a distinctive ringtone, prompting her to tap it. Matthew asked, “Is it a call?”

phone you gave me last time. I use it for listening to audiobooks, so I set an alarm to remind myself,

“No, this is the spar Olivia explained.

Louis was curious and asked, “Listening to audiobooks?”

“Yeah, this account is quite well done. I stumbled upon a young girl’s voice, which is quite pleasant. It feels familiar and comforting to listen to, so whenever I have spare time, I listen to it to pass the time,” Olivia explained.

Olivia liked that account, indeed. She used to lie in bed all day, thinking about her granddaughter and regretting why she hadn’t found the child earlier, causing her so much suffering. Recently, after listening to the audiobooks, she thought less about it. Instead, the soothing voice gave her a feeling that someone was with her. Sometimes, relationships between people were extraordinary. When Matthew left that phone to her, she hadn’t believed she would become fascinated by such things one day. Now, she had inexplicably liked a girl she hadn’t even met.

Louis exclaimed in surprise, “This seems… a bit familiar.”

“You know about this audiobook account?” Olivia asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

Louis got curious and took the phone to check. The account had tens of thousands of followers and was focused purely on reading and sharing good books without any commercial endorsements or miscellaneous promotions. He opened a

Valerie’s voice was unmistakable. Little d
