Chapter 121
It was the afternoon break. Gillian’s temples throbbed with pain. She wanted to go back to the office to
rest. Just as she reached the door, Tracy called again.
At the sight of the familiar phone number, impatience flashed across Gillian’s eyes. Her gaze was
frighteningly cold.
However, when she grabbed her phone and pressed the answer button, she suddenly became gentle
and refined.
“Mrs. Smith?” She asked gently, “Is there anything else?”
Tracy said over the phone, “I almost forgot. Olivia has revealed the secret recipe of seared salmon with
herbed couscous. The Smith Cuisine Hall needs a new recipe.”
Upon hearing this, a slight frown appeared on Gillian’s face. However, her tone was still as gentle as
before. “Mrs. Smith, wait a few days. I’ll find another one.”
After getting an answer, Tracy heaved a sigh of relief and said in a much warmer tone, “Sorry to trouble
you, Gillian. The dividends for this month will be affected by the disclosure of seared salmon with
herbed couscous. You might not get what you expected. I’ll transfer it to you in a few days.” Gillian said,
shaking her head, “How can I still have the cheek to ask for this month’s dividends? It’s all my
negligence that made you and Cynthia suffer. Forget about it.”
“How is this your fault?” Tracy frowned. “It’s all Olivia’s fault. It’s the Smith family’s recipe. It’s one thing
that she shamelessly took it for herself, but she actually publicly announced it on Twitter, showing no
consideration for the Smith family.”
At this point, Tracy’s tone was filled with anger. She snorted coldly and said, “I’ll have to talk to Mr.
Smith. It doesn’t matter if he dotes on his granddaughter, but he can’t affect the Smith family’s
foundation. Although he’s the head of the Smith family, the Smith family doesn’t belong to him alone.”
Finally, there was something that pleased Gillian. She narrowed her eyes, and with amusement
gleamed in her eyes, she said in a gentle and
comforting tone, “Mrs. Smith, don’t be angry. Olivia was just a little

impulsive. She didn’t mean to target you.”
“You!” Tracy was exasperated. “Why are you still speaking up for her at a time like this? You’re too kind.
You’ve spoiled your younger siblings to the point that they are unscrupulous. They’re rude and
inconsiderate.”
Gillian smiled faintly and said in a helpless tone, “Well, I’m an elder sister, after all.”
After hanging up the phone, Gillian originally wanted to go back and rest, but since she had promised
Tracy, she decided to find another medicinal cuisine for her.
The recipes were all with her grandfather. She didn’t have them with her, so she had to find Isaac.
Isaac had a special resting room and was having lunch. Seeing Gillian coming over, he quickly waved
and said happily, “Come quickly and eat with me.”
Ever since Olivia agreed to take over the Smith family, Isaac’s mood had been lifted. Moreover, he had
gotten over with the thing that he did not send Olivia back to the Taylor family when she was young.
Without the guilt purged from his mind, his body was much stronger than before. Gillian sat opposite
Isaac and subconsciously scooped food and soup for Isaac. She picked up some food for him and only
picked up her bowl when he was almost done eating.
She picked up a mouthful of food and put it into her mouth. It was filled with bitterness.
Gillian thought back to the past. She was the most meticulous and considerate one. She took great
care of her grandfather. She was always there for him when eating and would always fill his bowl with
food.
On the other hand, Olivia had never done all of this before. When she ate, she would only focus on
herself and enjoy all the delicious dishes without leaving anything for Isaac. She always asked Ms.
Blake to make her favorite dishes and did not care about others.
However, Olivia believed that Isaac only praised Olivia for being a filial girl and turned a blind eye to her
own efforts.
Thinking of this, Gillian could not help but sneer in her heart. How was Olivia filial? What did she do?
Gillian swallowed the food in her mouth ada.

over her words and said, “Grandpa, do you see the news on Twitter?”
“What Twitter?” Isaac shook his head. “How would I know that? That’s something you young people
play. I’m too old to follow it.”
Gillian put down her plate with a serious expression and said, “Grandpa, I have something important to
tell you.”
Isaac nodded. “Go ahead.”
Gillian glanced at Isaac and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Grandpa, you promise me you
won’t be angry if I tell you. You can’t be angry.”
Did something happen?
With a nervous expression, Isaac stared at Gillian and nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t be angry.”
Gillian frowned and looked worried. “It’s about Olivia. She made the Smith family’s recipe public.”
Isaac was stunned for a moment before he immediately refuted in a firm tone, “Impossible, absolutely
impossible!”
Gillian was taken aback. She did not expect her grandfather to trust Olivia so much. He was still
protecting her at this time!
That was the Smith family’s secret recipe. It didn’t matter if the Smith family used it themselves, but
Olivia made it public regardless of everything. Did she think that she owned the Smith family?
Moreover, it was an indisputable fact that Olivia revealed the Smith family’s secret recipe, but Isaac
was actually protecting her!
Resentment surged in Gillian’s heart. She could barely suppress and anger in her heart as she roared
at Isaac.
She clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips sinking into her flesh, barely managing to maintain her
rationality.
Heh…
Gillian took out her phone, opened Twitter, and handed it to Isaac. Her eyes were filled with the joy of
revenge.
She could not wait to see Isaac’s disappointed and angry expression.
Didn’t he favor Olivia? Since he trusted her and was so protective of her, Gillian would show the
evidence in front of him and see how he would continue to protect her.

‘Grandpa.” Gillian endured the complicated feelings in her heart and pointed at the trending topic. “See,
that’s it.”
Isaac put on his reading glasses and held his phone with both hands. He took a closer look at it. Upon
seeing the words ‘seared salmon with herbed couscous, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
“This, he explained. “This isn’t the Smith family’s recipe.”
Then, he looked up at Gillian in confusion and explained, “This is a medicinal cuisine that Olivia figured
out herself. Have you forgotten that she figured it out because you were weak? This is Olivia’s own
recipe.” Isaac had thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be seared salmon with herbed
couscous.
Isaac heaved a sigh of relief. He was freaked out just now.
Although Olivia was the future head of the Smith family, he had never given the Smith family’s secret
recipe to Olivia. How could she know? Sure enough, anxiety made one lose his mind. He didn’t even
think of this and was actually on tenterhooks.
Isaac reflected on himself, thinking that he shouldn’t have doubted Olivia. Olivia was able to come up
with such an amazing recipe as seared salmon with herbed couscous at the age of 12 and make the
food and recipe work so well. How was it possible that she coveted the Smith family’s recipe? The
Smith family’s recipes were all incomplete and could not be used. They had to be verified one by one
before they could be used.
Unlike Isaac, who was relaxed, Gillian was overwhelmed by hatred.
At this moment, she was filled with anger and couldn’t wait to bite Olivia to death. She even had the
itch to grab Isaac’s shoulder and shake him hard to wake him up.
He was too biased! Gillian accused Isaac of favoritism inwardly.
That was the recipe of the Smith family. Even at a time like this, Isaac was still protecting Olivia. He
remained calm when hearing that Olivia made the recipe public, saying that she was the one who
created the
prescription.
Why!
Gillian’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Anger was surging over her.
