Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 171

Olivia’s departure was sudden. Gillian did not notice at all. It wasn’t until the nurse in her grandfather’s

ward came to report that Olivia had not come for the entire day that she suddenly realized it.

Why did Olivia suddenly leave?

Gillian raised her eyebrows slightly and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Because she had too many things to worry about these days, and because of the banquet that was

going to be held when she took over the Smith family in ten more days, her heart had been tense,

afraid that something would happen!

Hence, Gillian had asked people to keep an eye on Olivia. However, she did not expect that there

would still be a mistake.

Frowning, she called Jim Lucas, who was keeping an eye on Olivia.

Beep, beep, beep… Beep, beep, beep…

It had been ten minutes, but no one answered the phone.

Gillian frowned even more. The office was clearly as quiet as the night, but she was so frustrated that

she could not calm down for a long time.

“What a useless man!” Jim couldn’t even keep an eye on Olivia.

Gillian hung up and called the person in charge of the detective agency. The person in charge replied

very quickly. He said that he would send someone to the hotel to see what was going on with Jim.

After a while, Jim called.

There was something wrong with his voice. It was hoarse. “I’m sorry, Ms. Smith… “Jim rubbed her

temples. His head hurt terribly. “Mr. Andrew of the Sullivan family left the hotel and returned to Evervale

at noon.”

“What about Olivia?” Gillian sat up straight.

Jim shook his head and apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Smith. I fell asleep and don’t know where

Olivia is. I just asked the hotel. Olivia has checked out. Only Blake is still here.”

“Check out?” Gillian was anxious. “Where did she go?”

Gillian did not take over the Smith family completely and announced it to the public, which made Gillian

uneasy. Gillian was always afraid her grandfather would have a trump card for Olivia to catch her off

guard.

“Ms. Smith, you can rest assured.” Jim sounded professional. “We’ll investigate Olivia’s whereabouts

now. We have the means to find out the transportation method she took through her identity card

number. We can find out whether she travels by plane, train, car, or self–driving.”

“Okay,” Gillian nodded. “Then hurry up.”

After hanging up the phone, Gillian leaned forward and rested her arms. on the desk. Her fingertips

tapped on the phone screen, looking like she was in deep thought.

Where on earth did Olivia go?

Would Olivia use their past friendship to seek help from those big shots?

Olivia shouldn’t do so!

Gillian shook her head and denied it as soon as she thought of it.

In the past, those big shots were willing to pay attention to Olivia because of her grandfather. Now that

she was here herself, they would definitely not help her if she did not have enough weight.

Gillian felt a little more relaxed at the thought of it.

Half an hour later, Jim called. “Ms. Smith, I’ve checked. Olivia should still be in Layfield. She didn’t go

anywhere but hid.”

“Olivia didn’t go anywhere?” Gillian was surprised.

Jim nodded affirmatively. “I checked her ID number. She didn’t take transportation, even a taxi or bus.”

“Okay. I got it.” Gillian hung up and sneered.

Olivia was hiding and sneaking around, which was all she could do.

After knowing that Olivia had deliberately avoided her, Gillian’s contempt for Olivia increased. Gillian

felt that there was no need for her to put too much effort into Olivia. Olivia was only relying on her

grandfather’s love.

Now that Olivia had lost her grandfather, she was nothing. She only knew how to hide and did not even

dare to show her face openly.

How petty Olivia was!

At the same time, in a low–profile car with a special license plate.

Olivia sat in the back seat with a laptop on her knees. The screen was filled with dizzying codes.

There was no plot that appeared in the movie. Her fingers tapped on the

keyboard. The screen seemed to be flashing as it quickly changed as if it had special effects.

Olivia’s posture was even a little lazy. She leaned sideways and supported her chin with her left hand.

She used her right index finger to type on the keyboard every few seconds.

She slowly used one of her fingers to type like an aged person learning to use a computer.

The Man in the passenger seat seemed to have received some news. He looked back at Olivia as if he

had something to say, but he did not want to disturb her thoughts. As he was hesitating, Olivia looked

up.

Her clear gaze slowly landed on his face with a hint of casualness.

The man’s back tensed up. He immediately said with a stern tone, “Miss Taylor, someone is

investigating you. Do you want to…”

“Let her be.” Olivia cut him off in an indifferent voice.

The man frowned and was about to persuade Olivia, but Olivia lowered her head and looked at the

computer again.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. When they arrived at their

destination, Olivia followed the person who came out to pick her up into the secret base.

The man followed closely behind Olivia. When they reached the door, he subconsciously wanted to

follow her in, but he was suddenly pulled to the side by a hand.

It was Tyson Burton, the driver!

“What are you doing?” The man frowned.

Tyson pulled the man to a corner and handed him a cigarette. “Come on, have a cigarette.”

The man took the cigarette from Tyson’s mouth and reprimanded, “Why are you smoking? Have you

forgotten your identity?”

“You forgot yours, didn’t you?” Tyson smiled faintly.

The man held his breath. His lean body instantly accumulated strength, as if he was about to explode

at any moment.

Tyson ignored him. He took out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth. His expression did not change as he

said, “The higher–ups sent us to protect Miss Taylor. Miss Taylor’s will is the priority. You overstepped

your boundaries in the car just then!”

The man fell silent.

Tyson patted the man’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go and find a place to eat. Miss Taylor is protected by

the base when we are here. We can relax for the time being.”

The man suddenly smiled and said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

In the base, Olivia was surrounded by a group of senior men and women. It was as if they had found

their backbone. They circled Olivia tightly. and were full of questions.

One said, “The problem is tremendous. We think of a lot of ways, but they did not work. There are

always mistakes.”

The other one said, “I’m so worried that my hair is almost gone.”

There was a lot of chatting and talking. In the end, Gordon Ford, the man in charge, came over and

dispersed the senior professors and engineers. He led Olivia to a laboratory and briefly told her about

the troubles they had encountered in building The Nimbus Gaze.

The Nimbus Gaze was an extension of the existing Skynet system. It was a satellite system that could

manipulate satellites, collect all images and audio information, and process them.

Olivia had a special identity and was considered a non–staff member. She did not participate in the

entire system’s preparation. Only when the team had a problem did she come forward to solve it.

The problem the team encountered this time was the computational speed. The Nimbus Gaze was

almost completed. Even the most difficult technical challenge of controlling satellites had been

resolved.

But now they were facing the biggest problem, which was the computer speed was too slow.

It processed a massive amount of information, searched for helpful information in a haystack, and

analyzed it to get the correct answer. The period of time was too long, which would take a month!

To tell the truth, a month was not a long time. However, a month of high–speed operation could easily

damage the processor. A slight change would make a mistake.

They couldn’t wait for a month and still get the wrong answer. Therefore, they had to solve the problem

as soon as possible!
