Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 407

Olivia had never liked to beat around the bush. She went straight to the point. “I heard you have

banned everyone from working with us.”

Finally, they had come to the main topic.

The elders exchanged looks. The First Elder spoke up, “Olivia, you are Isaac’s granddaughter. You are

also chosen by the Grant family to marry Alexander. We have been very patient with you all this while.

“You treated the Grant family with much disrespect. You wanted the Smith family to break away from

us. But we didn’t hold them against you.

“Not only did you not appreciate our goodwill, but you got more bold. We tolerated you because we are

your seniors and also on Isaac’s account.

“But you drugged Tom and also created a lot of trouble for us because of the Great Nourishment Pill.

We all have our limits. Once you push us beyond our limits, we will have to take action against you.

“Now that you’ve incurred our wrath, we can only stop all our cooperation with you. You deserve it.”

Olivia lowered her eyes, and a cold glint flashed across her face. “That’s a coincidence. I’ve also been

very tolerant toward the Grant family.”

She had given them many chances.

The First Elder frowned. He did not understand what Olivia meant. He was about to ask Olivia to clarify

her statement when the Fifth Elder said, “Olivia, where did. you get so many voodoo worms?”

The essence of the Great Nourishment Pill was the voodoo worms.

They were special worms that were similar to cordyceps. They looked like plants. that had no life

before they were awakened. Even the most advanced technology would be able to detect them.

The voodoo worms were not easy to breed. For many years, the Grant family tried to breed them in

hopes of accelerating their reproduction. They experimented with various methods but were still unable

to significantly increase their population. In fact, the number of voodoo worms in their possession had

diminished.

Left with no choice, the Grant family gave up the idea of speeding up their numbers. They could only

stick to the traditional method of breeding the worms.

After trying for many years, the Grant family was left with around one dozen voodoo worms. They could

only breed one or two worms every year.

Yet Olivia managed to breed thousands of voodoo worms within a short period.

No one knew how she did it. No matter how hard he thought, the Fifth Elder could not figure out what

went on.

He had been bogged down by that question for the past few days. Unable to hold it any longer, he

could not resist asking Olivia.

“Do you mean the voodoo worms?” Olivia asked dismissively. To her, it was not a difficult thing to do,

so she told the Fifth Elder without hesitation, “That can be easily done. Just clone them. I don’t have

time to breed them slowly. They’re just some small insects, and their genetic sequence is very

straightforward.”

The Fifth Elder was speechless.

Olivia made it sound like a simple job. He did not expect such a brief answer. If breeding those worms

had been a straightforward task, the Grant family would have been considered fools for centuries.

The Fifth Elder did not believe what Olivia said. He retorted coldly, “That’s impossible. The Grant family

also tried to clone them. It cannot be done at all. Even if we manage to clone them, their growth will be

impaired. They will die eventually.”

Olivia looked up, looking calm and composed. She exuded a commanding presence. “Just because

you guys can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t.”

The Fifth Elder felt a flicker of irritation. He could not speak for a long time, as if he was in a trance.

He muttered to himself, “This is impossible. It’s impossible. How can Olivia be so powerful?”

Seeing that the Fifth Elder had gone quiet, the Second Elder snatched the phone away from the Fifth

Elder and warned, “Olivia, don’t think that you can threaten us with the Great Nourishment Pill. The

Grant family’s influence is greater than you think. Don’t even think about posting the report about the

Great Nourishment Pill on the internet. You should be familiar with the Skynet system. All online

information in the country must be vetted before they can be published.

“I know that you will release everything you know about the Great Nourishment Pill if we take any

action against you. But so what if you know the secrets of the Great Nourishment Pill? We don’t care at

all.

“For Isaac’s sake, I’ll give you one last chance. Stop whatever you’re doing and hand over the recipe of

the Great Nourishment Pill. Also, swallow one of the pills. After that, kneel and beg for our mercy.”

Olivia wanted to laugh out loud when she heard him mention the Skynet system. She was the one who

developed it.

Olivia narrowed her eyes. Not wanting to argue with the Second Elder, she snapped, “You can dream

on!”

The Second Elder went cold with fury. “Olivia! You’d better wise up.”

Olivia sneered, “Is the Grant family always so arrogant? Have your desires become insatiable because

of the long legacy of the family? You’ve become too smug for

Bullionaire’s Missing Darling

your own good.

“Is there no one in this world who can deal with you?”

The First Elder snarled, “Stop talking nonsense, Olivia. I’ll give you one last chance. Beg for mercy.

Otherwise, the head of the Grant family will hold a meeting with Daniel.

And that is only the beginning.”

“What if I don’t do as you say?” Olivia asked calmly.

You

The First Elder’s expression darkened. “Ha! Then can just wait for doomsday.”

your

Olivia kept quiet.

The First Elder’s expression froze. Thinking that his threats had scared Olivia, he was about to

continue when Olivia said, “Have you really decided not to cooperate with me? Does that include the

Grant family and the entire clan? Are you bent on severing all ties with me?”

“Of course.” The First Elder smiled smugly. “Haven’t you already seen for yourself? The Grant family

and all the clans have stopped our cooperation with both the Smith family and the Sullivan family.”

Olivia smirked. “Really? We still have a lot of projects on hand. I know the cooperation for these

projects is still ongoing.”

The First Elder frowned, while the others looked equally bewildered. What did Olivia mean? They had

already issued an order for the entire clan to stop all cooperation. It was not possible that they were still

working with Olivia. Did someone disobey their orders? Were they still secretly working with Olivia?

The First Elder’s face turned pale. He decided to investigate the Grant family and the clan to stop them

from defying his orders.

He then looked at the phone and said, “Olivia, there’s still time. I’ll give you three more days. If you

kneel and beg the Grant family for mercy within these three days, we will let you off.”

After the First Elder finished speaking, he waited for Olivia to reply. However, there was still no

response after a long time.

He wondered if Olivia did not understand what he meant.

Alexander also looked in the direction of the phone. He then took his phone and checked it carefully.

Shortly after, his face fell.

He looked up and said, “She’s already hung up.”

Everyone in the conference room was flabbergasted.

A wave of fury crashed through them.

The First Elder slammed his hand on the table. The Second Elder kicked the stool. The third elder

smashed the cup. The fourth elder clenched his fists in

anger. They were all venting their frustrations.

Meanwhile, Olivia went to get something to eat after hanging up the phone. She did not feel angry or

nervous.

She was not the least bothered by what everyone in the Grant family said.

Back in the conference room, the First Elder almost choked on his anger. He said, “Go and look for the

head of the family. Tell him to hold a meeting with Daniel. We have to deal with the Sullivan family as

soon as possible.”

The Second Elder was also livid with rage. “I’ll tell the head of the family that Olivia is too arrogant. This

time, we have to make sure she suffers. We’ll show her what the Grant family is capable of.”

The Grant family quickly got down to work and soon, everything had been arranged. They then waited

in anticipation. They were certain news that the Sullivan family was in dire straits would spread.

Indeed, a day later, the media published a piece of news about the Sullivan family. However, it was not

the news they were anticipating.

The Deputy Head of State, Mr. Book, met with Daniel. He commended the latter for playing a crucial

role in upholding the well–being of the country. The Sullivan Group was also named one of the best

private enterprises in the country.

The Grant family was stunned to read the news.

All the elders were flabbergasted how things turned out.
