Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 183

Lindy arrived quickly, and as soon as they met, she began with an apology. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for leaving our esteemed guests waiting like this.”

Gillian smiled proudly, accepting Lindy’s apology. Initially, Lindy was just being polite, but she had not expected Gillian to be so audacious. She felt the smile on her lips fade a bit, and if it weren’t for Olivia, she would have surely kicked Gillian and her group out. What an audacious bunch! After sitting down, Lindy asked the butler to prepare coffee and then turned her attention to Gillian, asking, “Miss Dale, you called me over in such a hurry. Is there something you’d like to discuss?”

Gillian spoke as she played with her phone strap, “I have come to apologize to you, Mr. Patterson.”

“Apologize?” Lindy blinked in surprise and personally received the coffee from her butler, placing it in front of Gillian. She did not do the same for Healix and Lindsay. The butler handled that.

After Gillian received the coffee and placed it on the table, she leaned in slightly, looking apologetic. “Earlier, at the herb garden, I saw Olivia picking medicinal herbs from your residence without any consideration. I’m truly sorry for this, Mrs. Patterson, and I apologize on her behalf.” So, it was about that. It was not a big deal to Lindy, and she chuckled. “No need to apologize. She’s free to pick herbs from the garden.”

“No, no.” Gillian waved her hand and continued, adopting a somewhat helpless tone. “Please don’t indulge her too much just because of the Smith family’s reputation. Mrs. Patterson.”

Lindy paused, her hand holding the cup still. Something about this did not sound right.

Gillian continued, saying, “Olivia was adopted by my grandfather. She was well–behaved when she was younger, but as she grew older, her temperament deteriorated. Unfortunately, my grandfather spoils her, allowing her to cause trouble outside in the name of the Smith family.”

As she spoke, Gillian’s tone became stern, saying, “Our family upholds a proper reputation, We cannot tolerate any actions that might tarnish it. Mrs. Patterson, you don’t have to show her so much favoritism just because of me.”
