Chapter 176 My Billionaire Missing Lover

• 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 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 with 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 were 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 for 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. Since 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 to 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 creating precious pills, so Stanley Pharmaceuticals was no longer his match.
