Chapter 166
Olivia leaned forward and stretched out her hand to close the laptop. With a downward pressof her
hand, the laptop instantly closed
Without any big movement, the laptop smoothly slid into her hands. Olivia then placed it on one side.
Her moves were very sleek.
Previously, Gillian had seen Olivia performing the trick at a friend’s house through the crack in the door.
All her friends had praised Olivia for her smooth movement. Everything she did was swift and polished.
She was like a heroine to them.
However, Olivia never did the trick at home. She was always fumbling with her laptop while sticking her
head out to chat with Gillian.
In the past, Gillian thought Olivia was deliberately hiding her talent. She thought Olivia was being
hypocritical and pretentious.
However, at that moment, Gillian could no longer hide her true feelings. She quickly lowered her head
so that no one could see her expression. “Since you’ve seen the book for yourself, you can leave now.”
Olivia turned off the laptop and sat back on the couch. She looked down at her glass of fruit juice and
started swirling it. Although her tone sounded indifferent, one could still sense a hint of coldness in it.
“My little sister…” Jarron felt terrible, but he did not know what to say. Olivia chuckled and looked up at
Jarron. “Why didn’t you call me your little sister just now? You called me Olivia like you were talking
down at me. Do you now realize your mistake and acknowledge me as your little. sister?
“Olivia, don’t say that.” Jarron’s voice quivered with apprehension. A feeling of foreboding washed over
him.
Olivia did not look up. She continued swirling the glass of fruit juice and did not say a word.
Seeing this, Jarron felt even more remorseful. His eyes were filled with sadness, and his lips trembled.
“Olivia, I’m sorry. I’ve been too impulsive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI…”
Jarron could not say any further.
Jarron rarely apologized all his life. On some occasions when he annoyed

Olivia, he would mutter the word ‘sorry; and Olivia would immediately look up and say, “It’s okay. I
forgive you.
Hence, Jarron was never good at making apologies. He did not know how to apologize to Olivia. He
only knew how to say sorry to her.
He thought Olivia would reply with a smile like always and say, “I forgive you.”
He waited for a long time, but she did not speak.
This silence made Jarron feel extremely uneasy. His stomach was churning uncomfortably. He had not
eaten much in the morning, but he still wanted to throw up now.
Gillian dragged Jarron away. When they reached the door, Olivia suddenly stopped them.
Jarron looked back in surprise. Olivia knocked softly on the coffee table. “You forgot something.”
Jarron looked in the direction of the coffee table and saw the invitation card. He winced uncomfortably.
The lighting in the hotel suite was very dim. However, when it shone on Jarron’s face, it looked very
bright, as if it was emitting a bout of cold air.
Jarron’s mouth moved, but no words came out.
Gillian frowned. “I know I misunderstood you about ‘Mind Of A King‘, but we’ve already apologized.
Don’t be so unforgiving. Stop being angry at us. There are many big shots attending the banquet. Don’t
miss the opportunity just because you’re angry with us.”
Olivia frowned. She was running out of patience.
She had always been very patient with her family. She was willing to wait for several hours and even up
to a day for them. However, she was immensely impatient with outsiders.
“Take it away.” She interrupted Gillian curtly.
“Do you really want me to take it away?” Gillian’s tone was filled with disbelief. “Do you know what
you’ll be missing out? From now on, I’m in charge of the Smith family. You’re no longer part of the
family.”
“You talk too much.” Olivia looked at Gillian calmly. “I let you into my room today so I can explain my
side of the story about ‘Mind Of A King‘ It’s not because I’m afraid of you. It’s also not because of this
invitation card. I just need to make things clear to you.

“Since I’ve already clarified this matter with you, you can leave now.” Gillian looked quietly at Olivia
before picking up the invitation card. She suddenly turned around when she reached the door.
“Many things have happened between us. There’s a lot of unhappiness. It’s hard to tell who’s right and
who’s wrong. I can’t care less about that now.” She looked at Olivia and said haughtily, “I don’t want to
bother about you or meddle in someone else’s business, but we’ve been friends for so many years. I
still want to remind you of some things…. “Don’t lose an important opportunity in a fit of anger.”
Gillian paused for a moment before continuing, “The Sullivan family is willing to accept you because of
the Smith family. I know you are a very smart woman, but your intelligence is nothing compared to the
Smith family’s years of history. I’m saying this for your good. Smart people tend to think too highly of
themselves. Pride comes before a fall.
“I hope you know what you’re worth. Don’t miss out on the banquet because you’re angry with us.”
She waved the invitation card with a sense of superiority. “I’ll save this invitation card for you. If you
change your mind, let me…”
Before Gillian could finish speaking, a hand snatched the invitation card from her. Olivia tore the
invitation card into two and threw it into the wastebasket right in front of Gillian.
“Goodbye.” Olivia took out a tissue and wiped her hands as if she just touched a dirty item.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGillian’s face went ashen. She glared at Olivia. “Don’t regret what you just did.”
Olivia tossed the piece of tissue into the wastepaper basket and said
indifferently, “You’re right. We’ve been friends for so many years. I should remind you about one thing.
A leader should be ethical and upright. One should lead by example.”
“How dare you!” Gillian went cold with fury. She glared at Olivia and opened her mouth to speak.
Just then, she heard the door slam. In an instant, she was locked outside. “Olivia!” Gillian had lost all
her senses. Her face turned a fiery shade of red, and her fists tightened, knuckles white with tension.
She wondered how long Olivia could continue behaving so arrogantly. She was certain Olivia would
have to swallow her pride one day.

Gillian originally wanted to look out for Olivia on account of their past friendship. She wanted to help
Olivia boost her standing in the Sullivan family as the granddaughter of the Smith family. Since Olivia
had
refused Gillian’s kind intentions, the latter decided she had no reason to be softhearted toward the
former. She vowed to take back everything that belonged to her.
The Smith family was now under Gillian’s control. Olivia was no longer the beloved granddaughter of
Isaac. Without the Smith family’s backing, no one would regard Olivia highly.
Olivia had been very stubborn, thinking that she could sever ties with the Smith family now that she
was about to marry into the Sullivan family. Gillian was determined to announce to the public that Olivia
had severed all ties with the Smith family. She vowed to spread the news to the Sullivan family.
She was certain the Sullivan family would not allow Olivia to marry into their family when they knew she
was no longer part of the Smith family. The Sullivan family would not accept her even if she was willing
to be Andrew’s stepmother.
