Chapter 48 My Billionaire Missing Lover
- The fact that Olivia won the Lasker Award might cause a stir in the scientific community, but it may not attract much attention in the business world. Everyone was shocked because Olivia was the Taylor family’s daughter. Among these wealthy families, many of their descendants also joined the scientific and artistic world. However, most of them were artists, lawyers, and doctors. Even if there were talented descendants who entered national research institutes, they were rarely as talented as Olivia. With her achievements, she could not rely on her family background and money alone. She was really capable. Some short-sighted families with shallow foundations were only surprised and felt that it was unbelievable. Then, they treated this matter as an interesting piece of news and only discussed it a little, not paying much attention. As for those family elders with deep foundations and wisdom, they thought deeper. The term “scientist” seemed to symbolize poverty, but in modern society, it has nothing to do with poverty.
- More importantly, there was an unimaginable political power behind scientists. This was especially true for the top scientists. They had something to do with the government. In the Hushe Republic, money was not a measure of everything. It was listed by seniority, scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. In ancient times, merchants were considered the lowest profession. Even today, despite the prosperity of commerce, scholars have a higher status than them. Soon, someone talked to Liam and asked if Olivia was married. They wanted to match their sons with Olivia. Liam indeed doted on Olivia in his heart, but compared to Amy, whom he had doted on for decades, the difference was not small. A daughter was always more important than a granddaughter. Moreover, Liam was old. He did not want to interfere too much in many things, as long as the children in the family did not go overboard and hurt the harmony. Hence, he tacitly agreed to Amy’s actions. Anyway, Olivia had already left home for 18 years and was living a good life outside.
- Since Amy did not want her to come home, she should not come back. The Taylor family’s shares had already been given to Olivia. Liam felt that he did not owe this granddaughter anything. Businessmen valued profits. Between Amy, a strong woman who acted decisively, and Olivia, Liam chose Amy. But now Olivia had shown everyone her power. Liam started paying attention to her granddaughter again. Almost instantly, everyone’s attention fell on Olivia. Yvonne lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip. Today was supposed to be her most glorious day, but it was snatched away by Olivia. Sensing that Yvonne was in low spirits, Amy looked at her with heartache. “What’s wrong? You’re not feeling well. Do you want to rest for a while?” Yvonne shook her head and smiled weakly. “Mom, I’m fine. Miss Olivia has achieved so much. I’m very happy for her.” “Miss Olivia? She’s younger than you. She’s your younger sister.” Yvonne shook her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was like a small white flower swaying in the wind. “Don’t say that. I know my status is low. I’m not worthy at all, but... She looked up, her bright eyes filled with yearning and anticipation. “It’s just that I really hope that one day I can call you mother openly and announce to everyone that you’re my mother. I’m looking forward to this moment too much. That’s why I was sad when the news of Miss Olivia came.”
