Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 167

“Calm down. She’s still young.” Jarron shook Gillian’s hand and comforted her. “We’re not kids. We have to be tolerant.”

Gillian was looking at the closed door and was furious. When she heard Jarron’s words, her face froze for a moment.

Still young? Olivia was still young?

She was sneering in her heart. Jarron always defended her regardless of right or wrong. Olivia was already in her twenties, yet he still insisted that she was young!

Gillian lowered her head and said calmly, “Alright, I won’t really be angry with her.”

Jarron heaved a sigh of relief.

Gillian just appeared angry and failed to control her temper, but she didn’t mean it. Her bark was worse than bite so she wouldn’t really hurt Olivia. Now that Jarron was blindly defending this so–called young girl, she started to feel angry in a true sense.

Olivia’s disobedience, Jarron’s preference for her, how the big shots valued her, and the indelible influence she left on the Smith family all made Gillian uncomfortable.

Apart from the discomfo

she exerted on Gillian, the position Olivia was consolidating also impaired Gillian’s control over the Smith family.

This was what Gillian could not tolerate.

In an instant, Gillian comprehended a truth. In an organization, the new successor had to rule out the competitor even if he had already been a loser. Or he would continue exerting his influence backed by his faction’s support. Only through exterminating all the competitors and their reactionary forces could we climb to the peak and maintain our position. If Gillian wanted to take over the Smith family, she had to let everyone know that she was in charge of the Smith family now. Gillian was the head. Olivia was already dumped in history. Without her Isaac’s support, Olivia lost her foothold like a leaf adrift in the wind. She could not stand firm in the Smith family now!

She had to consider this matter in the long run. Gillian needed more time to study it carefully.

When she got home, she immediately confined herself to the study and
