Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 113

After Lindsay ran away, Blake’s calm expression instantly vanished from her face. She pursed her lips and did not speak. She was so angry that her body trembled slightly. It took her a while to calm down.

She apologized to Olivia. “It’s my fault. I didn’t teach her well.”

As Blake said this, her gaze was filled with regret, her face full of apology. Olivia did not mind. Instead, she comforted Blake, saying, “It has nothing to do with you. You’ve only been taking care of her for a few years. Besides, you haven’t spent much time together.”

Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Blake felt somewhat relieved, but the guilt still lingered on her face. “Ultimately, it’s all my fault. I’m not capable enough.”

Olivia leaned back, resting on the sofa with her attractive, long legs lifted and casually draped over the sofa. She exuded a lazy charm.

There was also a hint of mischief in her demeanor.

She did not say anything. Instead, she raised her gracefully contoured chin slightly, gesturing for Yanis to comfort Blake.

Upon receiving the order, Yanis hurried forward and sat down before Blake, patting her shoulder. He said, “It’s not your fault. We know you’re in a difficult position. Lindsay has a special status. Moreover, she is older now. She has her own ideas, and it’s not easy to teach her.”

Olivia had been listening with her head slightly turned. At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but when she heard the phrase “special status,” she raised an eyebrow subtly and asked, “What’s her background?”

Yanis quickly explained, “Lindsay’s grandfather is the head of Healix Pharmaceuticals. Although Healix Pharmaceuticals is also a part of the Smith family’s business, Mr. Isaac doesn’t hold much stock in it. The real power lies in Lindsay’s grandfather’s hands. The Smith family isn’t a conventional family but more of an interdependent relationship. To put it simply, Healix Pharmaceuticals is no longer connected to Mr. Isaac. It’s the loyalty and support of the Smith family members that they keep referring to him as the family head.”

Blake continued, “Lindsay’s original name was Sally Smith. She was given the name Lindsay to signify her role as the right hand to the next head of the Smith family. Healix Pharmaceuticals is influential, and with their

At this point, Blake’s tone turned somber. “Lindsay isn’t a bad person. She’s just been spoiled by the family. She’s a bit delicate and has a bad temper. I’m sorry you’ve had to endure this.”
