Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 425

Olivia had been preparing for half a month and finally set off for Wayne Country. At the same time, on the Grant family’s side, Alexander was also on the move. He had been closely following news about Olivia, and upon learning that she was going abroad, he wasted no time in setting off. In the country, it was not easy to make a move against her, but overseas was a different story. With a long distance. and no one watching, he could handle the situation as he pleased.

The circle of Elders of the Grant family had issued a death order to eliminate Olivia. Initially, when Olivia’s identity as the research institute’s director was exposed, the Grant family, though surprised, didn’t panic too much. After all, the director position was far from the grandeur of the Grant family, and the two were not on the same level.

However, what surprised the Grant family was that after Olivia’s identity was exposed, including the Grants and several subservient families that followed them, all high–tech projects came to a halt. Not only that, even research talents withdrew en masse. In a flash, the mighty Grant family became an empty shell. If it were an ordinary business family, they could survive without technology, investing in real estate and finance. But the Grant family was different. As one of the four great families of the Capitol, their influence was extensive, spanning various industries. Industrial technology was their lifeline, and real estate and finance were built on top of that industry. Without it, real estate, and finance would crumble in an instant.

The Grant family was finally panicked. Without technology, they would lose their status among the four great families of the Capitol within a year. The head and First Elder of the Grant family could never have imagined that Olivia, a seemingly insignificant woman, possessed such incredible power, capable of wiping out the Grants in an instant. The family was finally terrified. Therefore, Olivia must die, and the Grant family must gain control of the Capitol Research. Institute. Thus, Alexander, the young heir of the family, personally went to Wayne Country.

Before his departure, Bettany helped him pack his luggage. She looked at Alexander, and she seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Alexander had. been busy with family matters recently, often going out and rarely returning home, giving him little opportunity to meet Bettany. He had not been paying much attention to her emotions and, seeing her reaction, he didn’t even spare a glance, simply diverting his gaze as if he hadn’t seen anything. Bettany was immediately taken aback.

She knew that her recent interactions with Alexander had not been very smooth, and she had often acted clumsily and failed to meet his expectations. But she had never expected Alexander to ignore her like this. She felt a sense of panic, especially since she had been impersonating Olivia in front of Alexander. This situation was a ticking time bomb, and it would explode sooner or later. Before
