Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 165

Olivia never liked to argue with people. However, things seemed to have gotten so out of hand that she

needed to confront both Jarron and Gillian.

“Who said you will become intelligent after reading the book? she asked. Gillian looked up. “Grandpa

Isaac said so.” Olivia only lived with the Smith family for less than a year, but she had already shown

astonishing intelligence. She was a fast learner and could grasp any information after seeing the

information once.

Over time, Gillian began to feel inferior to Olivia. She did not understand why Olivia could memorize

half of the book’s medicinal ingredients while Gillian had barely finished reading one page.

In addition, Olivia could also analyze the properties of the medicine. Sensing Gllian’s inferiority

complex, Isaac would hug her. He comforted Gillian, “You’re not learning as fast as Olivia, not because

you are not smart enough. It’s the book ‘Mind Of A King‘ that Olivia is reading. This book can make

someone more intelligent. When you’re older, I will also teach you from this book. You will become

smarter than Olivia.”

Olivia kept quiet for a long time.

She originally had her legs crossed, but when she heard what Gillian said, she straightened her legs

and rested them on the coffee table. Supporting her chin with one hand, she chuckled softly.

Ignoring Gillian, Olivia turned to Jarron. She tilted her head and asked, “Jarron, are you here to cheer

me up because you know I’ve been in a bad mood recently?”

Sensing Olivia’s questioning look, Jarron felt embarrassed. He wished he could remove himself from

the awkward situation.

He was aware that Gillian always grumbled about not being able to learn ‘Mind Of A King. She often

claimed the book could make someone intelligent. However, he never found out why Gillian had

harbored that thought.

Isaac was trying to comfort Gillian and was not serious when he said that. No one expected Gillian to

believe what Isaac said.

Jarron felt ashamed when he recalled how overbearing he had been to

Olivia earlier.

“What do you mean?” Gillian frowned at Olivia.

Gillian was completely obsessed with how ‘Mind Of A King‘ could make a person smarter. If it was

someone else Isaac said those words to she would have guessed that Isaac was not telling the truth.

She would think he was only trying to pacify the person. However, she did not have the same self–

awareness when she was the party involved. She was very sure reading the book would make her

more intelligent.

Olivia looked up at Gillian without saying a word. She merely leaned over and took an orange from the

coffee table. She then started to peel the fruit.

Olivia took a bite of the freshly peeled orange and said dismissively, “You claimed that I became

smarter after learning ‘Mind Of A King. I

remember very clearly that I learned how to play the violin, how to paint, and how to play chess before

reading the book.

Gillian was speechless.

After eating two slices of orange, Olivia tossed the remaining slices back onto the plate. She narrowed

her eyes and scoffed, “Green–eyed monster.” Gillian’s face contorted with rage. She knew Olivia was

implying that Gillian was jealous.

“You must have come across ‘Mind Of A King‘ and realized it was actually ‘Heart Of A Lion! Did you

suspect that I swopped the books?” Although Olivia appeared to be asking a question, her tone

sounded certain.

Gillian remained silent.

Olivia curled one leg and extended her palm in front of Gillian. “Give it to me. Give me the book you

found.”

Jarron immediately said, “I’ll go back and get it.”

Olivia ignored him and continued to stare at Gillian with her extended hand.

She knew Gillian too well. Given her personality, Gillian would have brought the book wherever she

went.

In the past, Olivia could not understand what Jarron and Gillian were thinking. She now realized she

was blinded because she treated them like her close friends. It was like a fortune teller who could never

predict the fates of herself and her loved ones.

It was true with the saying that the cobbler’s children were the worst shod.

She was not perceptive of their intentions because they were her closest friends.

At that moment, she detached herself completely from them. All feelings of kinship toward them had

disappeared.

She could see their characters clearly now.

Their intentions were very apparent.

Olivia did not like to judge anyone. However, she still could see through

someone’s nature.

As expected, Gillian had ‘Mind Of A King‘ with her.

Olivia took the book and flipped through it. She then took out a ballpoint pen from the drawer of the

coffee table and scribbled ‘Mind Of A King’ on the cover.

It was written in exactly the same way as the title of the book.

Unbothered by their shocked looks, Olivia tossed the book to them and said offhandedly, “I used a

random piece of paper to wrap the book.”

Without waiting for them to react, she fished out a USB flash drive. It looked like an outdated model.

The color of the cover had already faded. Olivia inserted the USB flash drive into the laptop and

retrieved some old photos. They were all images of the book.

One of the photos showed a small hand holding the book.

“Have a good look, and compare it to the actual book.” Olivia turned the laptop in their direction to show

them the photos. She asked, “Is it the same book?”

Gillian was a little stunned and stood still for a long time. She was at a loss for what to do. Jarron

looked at the laptop and clicked on the photo to enlarge it. He tried to compare the book in the photo to

‘Mind Of A King‘ that was lying on the table.

The resolution of the photo on the USB falsh drive was not of good quality. Although the picture looked

a little blurry, he was still able to see the image of the book clearly.

It was exactly the same book.
