Chapter 440
Olivia was smart. After realizing that she was not Berry, she immediately began to deduce her identity.
Being able to be recognized as the master of the Golden Voodoo King, she must have an extraordinary
identity.
Thinking of this, Olivia quickly came up with an idea. She summoned Charlee and said, “Go ask around
the vicinity of the auction house and find out if any important figures have gone missing recently. Check
if they’re looking for
someone.”
Charlee immediately nodded. “I’m aware of this. Our clan pays close attention to the auction. No one
has gone missing on our side, but it seems that an important person has gone missing in the Hushe
Republic.”
Olivia’s heart started to race when she heard that. She asked, “Who is it?”
“I’m not sure about that.” Charlee scratched her head. “I happened to overhear that there was a rich
man in the Hushe Republic who lost his fiancée. This rich man seems to bear the surname Sullivan.
This morning, the rich man’s men even visited the Flores family to ask about his whereabouts.”
Sullivan?
Olivia felt a headache coming on. Her heart was beating faster and faster. She had an intuitive feeling
that she was connected to the Sullivan family.
Without thinking much, she stood up abruptly and rushed out toward the door. “Are the Sullivan family’s
people still here? I’ll go take a look.”
“Saintess… Saintess. Charlee stopped her. “Don’t waste your time. They’ve already left. It’s said that
they’ve already found the missing fiancee and returned to their country.”
“They found her?” Olivia looked bewildered. She stood rooted to the ground and was at a loss.
“Yes.” Charlee nodded. She took out her phone and opened the webpage. “Look, the news is out.”
A large headline came into her view. “Billionaire Daniel Sullivan has found his fiancée.”
The article featured a somewhat blurry picture of a slender woman pushing at man in a wheelchair. The
photo wasn’t clear, but one could feel the warmth of the scene from the image.
For some reason, this photo made Olivia very uncomfortable. It was as if tiny needles were pricking her
heart. It was causing her inexplicable ache.

“Are you feeling unwell?”
Olivia shook her head. “I’m fine. I guess I was wrong.”
She was probably unrelated to the Sullivan family since they had already found the missing person.
“Are there any other forces looking for people?” Olivia looked up and continued to ask.
Charlee shook her head, “No, nobody that I know of.”
Olivia sighed deeply. Her heart ached, and she felt very uncomfortable. She wasn’t sure what was
happening to her, but she felt inexplicably unwell. There was a heavy feeling in her heart.
Even her appetite was affected. She hadn’t eaten a single bite of food for dinner.
First Elder and the others were still discussing how to deal with the conflict betwe
the Saintess and Ashley.
Speaking of which, Ashley hitting Olivia was not considered a big deal to the members of the Flores
family. Firstly, this was Duncan’s family matter, and outsiders were not eager to interfere. Secondly,
Berry was exceptionally ugly. Tender and beautiful women aroused sympathy and compassion, but an
unattractive and dominant woman wouldn’t receive the same favorable treatment. For an ugly and
unlikable woman, a couple of hits didn’t matter. She wouldn’t die anyway.
This was the consensus among the family members.
However, the issue now centered around the golden voodoo worm. The Saintess had the golden
voodoo worm, and the golden voodoo worm was the most valuable treasure of the Flores family. While
it was acceptable for Ashley to hit Berry, harming the golden voodoo worm was absolutely forbidden.
The elders of the Flores Family had reached a consensus on whether the Saintess could activate the
golden voodoo worm..
That was, it was absolutely impossible for the Saintess to activate the golden. voodoo worm.
Golden voodoo worms were extremely precious. They thought an ugly Saintess like Berry was not
qualified to activate them.
Since it had been determined that the Saintess could not activate the golden. voodoo worm, it meant
that the golden voodoo worm controlled the worms in Ashley’s body to hurt her as self–protection
because Ashley harmed them.
This could be a big deal.
To put it simply, although Ashley had the intention to harm the golden voodoo worm, he did not really
hurt it. Instead, he had ended up severely injured herself. On a larger scale, Ashley was too reckless.
He even dared to hurt a golden voodoo
Worm.
The golden voodoo worm was the treasure of the Flores family.

Billionaire’s Missing Dining
If they didn’t punish her, it might set a precedent that anyone could harm the golden voodoo worm in
the future.
The Four Elders had reached a consensus regarding the need to punish Ashley, but they had different
opinions on how to go about it.
The First Elder wanted to give Ashley strokes with a wooden paddle, forbid him from getting close to
the Saintess, and have him publicly confess his wrongdoing and beg for the golden voodoo worm’s
forgiveness.
This punishment was undoubtedly severe. 20 strokes could cripple the lower half of the body of a
weaker person. Not to mention, Ashley was already severely injured and bedridden for two days. He
couldn’t even get up.
The Fourth Elder suggested that Ashley, being young and impulsive, didn’t intend to harm the golden
voodoo worm but had conflicts with the Saintess. He recommended sending Ashley abroad for a few
years, allowing him to mature in character and disposition before returning.
The Third Elder remained silent and didn’t express his opinion.
The First Elder turned his gaze to the Second Elder. “Second Elder, Ashley is your grandson. You
decide.”
The Second Elder chuckled. “Jarron, you’re making things difficult for me. Of course, I can’t bear to see
my grandson get punished, but not punishing him is not an option. This is a hard choice to make.”
The First Elder narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “We have to come up with a plan. You can make the
decision.”
The Second Elder knew that the First Elder had handed him a thorny issue. His son and daughter–in–
law would definitely protest if he punished Ashley severely. If he did not punish Ashley severely, he
would be accused of favoritism, and his impartiality would be questioned. It could potentially cause him
to lose the hearts of his clan members.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How about this?” The Second Elder quickly proposed a solution. “Let’s leave this matter to the
Saintess. She can decide whether or not to punish Ashley and how to punish Ashley. How does that
sound?”
The First Elder turned to look at the Second Elder and nodded. “That works.”
Upon learning about the situation, Duncan immediately went to see Lydia. Lydia was currently in
Ashley’s room. Looking at her son, who was lying on the bed suffering, Lydia was heartbroken. She
really wanted to strangle Berry, the source of all this trouble.
“Come out,” Duncan called Lydia out.
“What’s wrong?” Lydia’s eyes widened. She was not yet aware of the decision the elders made.
Duncan frowned. “In a while, go to the Saintess’s place…”
Billionaire’s Missing Daring
“No way!” Before Duncan could finish speaking, Lydia jumped up with a look of hatred. “I’ll never go
see that wretched woman.”
“Calm down.” Duncan was speechless. “It’s about Ashley. The elders have already reached a decision
on how to handle him. The Saintess will decide the specifics.” “What?” Lydia became even more
agitated. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred. “Why? Why is she the one who decides? She
hurt Ashley. She should
pay
with her life, I want her deadl
“Take a deep breath.” Duncan frowned. “Can you please listen to me? I know you hate her, and I hate
her too. But it’s not the time for revenge. First, let’s ensure Ashley’s safety. Once he’s safe, we can
figure out how to deal with her.”
“Just listen to me and go look for the Saintess now,” Duncan instructed. “That girl used to rely on you
the most. She would always hide behind the door at home and peek at you. Whenever you showed her
a little kindness or smiled at her, she’d be ecstatic and willing to do anything for you.”
“Remember the last time? You simply held her hand, and she happily replaced Alicia as the Saintess.”
“This time, be gentle and give her a smile. She surely won’t punish Ashley.”
Duncan said confidently. In his opinion, Berry was just a dog that he raised. When he was in a bad
mood, he could kick her. When he needed her to take care of things, he’d throw a bone her way, and
she would be delighted.
