After walking a few steps, Helen lendy’s smile gradually faded from her face.
It seems Olivia Smith really knows of the Taylor Family’s existence, and perhaps, has even contacted them long ago.
This ti, Olivia was genuinely frightened by Helen lendy’s words.
Even after Helen lendy had left for quite a while, her face remained pale.
"Olivia? Olivia?"
Thomas Smith noticed Olivia’s abnormal expression. Though slightly worried, he didn’t suspect her much.
It took several calls before Olivia snapped out of it, eting Thomas’s concerned gaze she suppressed the fear inside and forced a smile, "Second brother."
"What happened to you just now? Who are the Taylor Family people ntioned by Helen lendy?"
Olivia was already scared out of her wits by Helen lendy’s words, and upon hearing Thomas ntion "Taylor Family," her heart trembled uncontrollably.
"I don’t know who she’s referring to either."
She didn’t feel like explaining too much to Thomas and just said:
"Second brother, I’m suddenly feeling a bit unwell; I’ll head upstairs first."
Seeing her peculiar and unsightly expression, Thomas thought she’d been scared by Charles Smith’s earlier anger and didn’t ponder further, saying:
"Alright, I’ll accompany you to your room to rest."
Olivia nodded without refusal; at this mont, her mind was consud with Helen lendy’s ntion of the Taylor Family people.
How did Helen lendy know about the Taylor Family’s existence?
If she knows, does it an Edward Smith and Harry Hall are aware too?
Could they already be targeting the Taylor Family?
No, they wouldn’t. If they knew, they’d definitely confront her with the Taylor Family people instead; why haven’t there been any actions, even letting her in?
But if none of them know, how does Helen lendy know?
Olivia’s mind was a ss, having no interest in bothering with Thomas.
But she knew very well that, for now, the only one who could protect her was Thomas, and she absolutely couldn’t let him down.
"Olivia, you don’t look well. Are you unwell? Shall I ask Grandpa Gresia to check on you?"
"No need."
Olivia shook her head; at this ti, she had to minimize her presence.
Drawing more attention would only make the Smith Family dislike her more.
"Second brother, I’m fine; perhaps skipping breakfast resulted in a bit of low blood sugar."
"I’ll have the servant bring breakfast to you."
Thomas was about to pick up the phone at the bedside to dial the extension, but Olivia stopped him.
"Second brother, I’ll rest for a while and then go down myself; let’s not trouble the servant."
Listening to Olivia’s compromise, Thomas felt both heartache and pity.
He thought she refrained from troubling the household staff because she didn’t want the family to think she was demanding.
Though she was the master, living under soone else’s roof made her seem inferior even to a servant.
Thomas felt pity in his heart, along with so frustration.
Even if there’s bias, it shouldn’t be this extre, should it?
Can’t even command the servants?
Thomas, holding a breath of frustration, said:
"I’ll bring it up for you."
This ti Olivia didn’t stop him, letting him go.
Aside from minimizing her presence, she also wanted to invoke Thomas’s sympathy and compassion, and his resistance to the Smith Family.
Only this way, when the truth is revealed, Thomas will take her side.
After all, from beginning to end, when the Taylor Family switched children, she had no control; if soone’s to perish, it’ll be the Taylor Family, unrelated to her.
