Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 188

Amelia was going to the Smith family’s banquet, so Maddie went to the Taylor family in advance to pick

her up.

When she reached the Taylor family, she realized that Amelia did not have any makeup on.

Maddie frowned subconsciously. “We’re about to set off. Why aren’t you wearing makeup?”

It would take nearly two hours to drive from Evervale to Layfield. Time was tight and there was no time

to put on makeup.

Amelia clenched her fists and looked up at Maddie with a smile. “I put on light makeup. It’s just not

obvious.”

Maddie carefully observed Amelia for a while and frowned. “Your face is too pale, and your dark circles

are very heavy. You look like a bullied wife and don’t have any vitality at all.”

As she spoke, she opened her handbag and took out an eyeliner. “I’ll put an eyeliner on you to make

you look more energetic.”

“Forget it.” Amelia rejected. “That’s fine. I’m not the main character. No one will pay attention to me.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly walked out.

She was there to gain sympathy. How could she be energetic?

The venue of this banquet was a villa of the Smith family in the suburbs of Layfield.

When the Green family arrived, there were already many guests.

Ronald quickly pushed Mr. Green to greet the big shots in the business world.

Amelia had been looking down on the way here. She was not in a good mood.

It was only at the Smith family that she felt a little more energetic.

She clutched her handbag tightly in her hand and kept her gaze on the crowd as if she was looking for

something.

Unfortunately, Olivia was nowhere to be seen.

Maddie, who had been paying attention to Amelia, also found it strange. Wasn’t Olivia Mr. Smith’s

granddaughter? Why wasn’t she present at such

a big banquet of the Smith family?

Even the Smith family’s collateral relative, Tracy, was helping to greet the guests.

Gillia“, and Jarron personally welcomed every guest present, but Olivia was the only one missing.

Moreover, there was something stranger.

This banquet was not as high–profile as they had imagined. None of the big shots from the Capital City

came. Not only that, but some aristocratic families that lived a little further away did not come, either.

How did that happen?

Maddie frowned.

Now that Olivia was not here, she did not keep an eye on Amelia. Instead, she went to Mr. Green’s

side.

“Dad,” she whispered. “Not many people are here.”

It was not that there were not many people, but it did not reach the level they had imagined.

Even the Clark family didn’t come.

The Smith family once helped the Clark family.

Mr. Green also felt that something was wrong, but he did not say anything. He only said in a low voice,

“Let’s wait and see.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar chubby figure came up to him. “Mr. Green, you’re here

too?”

Stanley glanced at the wheelchair under Mr. Green and teased, “You really show respect to the Smith

family.”

He was in a wheelchair, yet he still went from Evervale.

Could it be because of the Smith family’s medical skills?

What a pity. The person with superb medical skills was lying on the hospital bed. The remaining Gillian

and Jarron could not treat his illness.

Stanley’s tone was mocking, and there was a hidden meaning in his words.

Maddie looked up and probed. “Mr. Martin, you show respect to the Smith family as well, don’t you?”

“I’m different.” Stanley shook his head. Then, his expression changed instantly. His sharp eyes were

like a wolf’s. “I have something important

to do.”

Stanley owned Stanley Pharmaceuticals which had always been competitive with Healix

Pharmaceuticals. Ten years ago, Stanley Pharmaceuticals had even firmly suppressed Healix

Pharmaceuticals. Ever since seven years ago, that old brat Healix had the Smith family backing him up

and created precious pills, so Stanley Pharmaceuticals was no longer his match.

All these years, that old brat Healix had been tyrannizing him. Stanley had had enough!

This time, he had to kill Healix!

As if he could foresee the beautiful scene in the future, Stanley could not help but laugh out loud. He

stepped forward and held Mr. Green’s hand. “You’re so lucky. You didn’t come in vain. There’s a big

show going on later. You have to watch it carefully.”

With that, he laughed and left.

Mr. Green and Maddie looked at Stanley’s back in confusion.

Almost everyone had arrived.

Gillian clenched her fists. A trace of nervousness flashed across her eyes, but there was more

excitement.

After tonight, she would be the legitimate head of the Smith family.

She would bring the Smith family to greater heights, even more glorious than when her grandfather

was the head of the family.

When she thought of something, her eyes were slightly intoxicated. If Jarron had not asked her, she

might have been immersed in it.

“Gillian, are you alright?” Jarron looked concerned.

Gillian came back to her senses and shook her head at him. Then, she lifted the hem of her dress and

walked toward the center of attention.

Amelia stood in the middle of the crowd and looked at the stage where Gillian was the center of

attention.

Her expression was blank and helpless.

It had already begun, but where was Olivia?

Wasn’t she Isaac’s adopted granddaughter? How could she not be here?
