Chapter 40
Evelyn’s words reminded Emma.
After hanging up, she sat on the bed and grabbed the ear of the doll in her arms.
Although Evelyn was stupid and didn’t care about priorities, she had one great advantage. She knew what she wanted and her goal was always the same.
She was right. If Emma wanted Ethan, she had to follow this goal and not be half–hearted.
Mary’s matter had nothing to do with her. The first thing was to cut off the possibility of Olivia marrying into the Turner family.
She tapped her fingertips on the doll’s head a few times and came up with an idea.

This time, everyone was here. Even David, who had not shown up for a long time, appeared. He was lying on the sofa with his chin propped up. It was rare for him to be quiet, and he did not look as irritable as before. Liam was still upstairs. Emma sat in front of David and asked eagerly, “Are you doing well outside? Come home.”
Seeing this, Amelia looked at David with anticipation.
David looked up and ignored her.
He came back this time for Olivia. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entered the Taylor family at all.
David was surprised to receive a call from Amelia saying that Olivia might be Ryan’s mistress.
His first reaction was disbelief.
It was absolutely impossible. How could such an imposing and unpredictable woman be a mistress?
He thought about Jackson. He remembered that Jackson called her Olivia, and he tried his best to hide the envy and admiration in his eyes.
What was Jackson envious of?
Was Jackson envious that he was Olivia’s younger brother?
Jackson had an arrogant personality. David did not think that Jackson would be able to politely address Ryan’s mistress like that.
David was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. It was just that sometimes, he could not control his violent temper, and his rationality was always one step slower.
He recalled Olivia’s stare and her condescending and indifferent tone that day.
He could not help but clench his fingers, feeling a little strange.
After leaving Jackson’s place, David went for a blood test.
What a fucking joke!
There was actually that substance in his blood. He had really been drugged, and it was in his own house!
Since then, David moved out. He did not know who he should suspect or trust, nor did he know how to say this.
This family was filled with his closest loved ones. He did not want to doubt them, nor did he want to face them, so he fled outside.
Perhaps, going to Yougria was a good thing for him.
Knowing that being violent was not his nature and he acted like that after being drugged, David deliberately suppressed his temper.
Therefore, during this period of time, his temper had improved a lot. He could already deal with anything calmly.
Grandfather had yet to come down and his father was furious. His father made a few consecutive calls, wanting to investigate the relationship between Olivia and Ryan.
His mother advised him from the side, “Wait for your father to come down before making a decision. I still don’t know the exact truth.” After knowing that Olivia might be Ryan’s mistress, Amelia was as angry as Samuel. She felt that Olivia was frivolous and embarrassing and did not love herself.
But women were more sensitive than men.
After her anger, Amelia’s heart ached for her daughter, Olivia. She felt that Olivia should be in trouble, so Olivia became a mistress.
It was not easy for a beautiful girl with no background to be work alone outside.
“Dad.” Emma personally poured a cup of coffee for Samuel and patted his back. “Don’t be angry. You have to believe Olivia. Ella just casually said that it was Ryan’s car. It might not be the case. Don’t be angry. I feel so sorry for you.”
Samuel turned around and looked at his gentle and considerate daughter. The anger in his heart dissipated a little.
Emma was still the best. She was smart and considerate.
As for Olivia, he might as well not find her. She had been raised outside for almost 20 years. He did not know how wicked she was. Since she came back, she would only embarrass the Taylor family!
How long had it been? She had only been back for less than a month, and such a thing had already happened.
How embarrassing!
Samuel looked disgusted. “You don’t have to speak up for her. That luxury car is real. She’s just a poor student. How can she sit in such a luxurious car? If it’s not Ryan’s, it belongs to someone else.”
Emma thought for a moment and explained, “Maybe she bought it herself. Didn’t Grandpa just transfer the shares to her?”
“Silly child.” Samuel was amused. He patted Emma’s shoulder and said, “Shares are not cash. We have to wait for the dividends. Your mother gave her a car and I gave her a card, but it’s definitely not enough to buy a car. Besides, a car can’t be bought in a day or half a day.”
It was quite troublesome to obtain insurance and license plates for such luxury cars.
Not to mention that it was Evervale. The license plate had to be rolled, and the license plate of the car she was sitting in was not ordinary.
Of course, Emma knew that there was no dividend yet, but she had to put in a good word for Olivia. She had to make her stand clear.
William had been sitting on the sofa and dealing with company matters on his phone. When he was called back by Amelia in a hurry, he thought that something big had happened at home. In the end, it
was actually such a groundless matter.
Not long after arriving home, William wanted to leave, but he remembered that his grandfather had not come down yet, so he sat there.
After a while, Liam took the elevator down. His legs were getting worse and worse. He even needed someone to support him with his walking stick.
“Dad.” Samuel made way for him to sit down. At the same time, he raised his phone. “I’ve already gotten someone to investigate this matter.”
Liam looked up at him quietly and sighed. “It’s fine if you want to investigate your own daughter, but do you want to investigate the Book family?”
“This is not a business matter. It concerns the Taylor family’s reputation. I have to be careful,” Samuel said righteously. He wanted to make sure that Olivia was a mistress on the spot.
After all, Liam had been in charge of the Taylor Group for many years and was very shrewd. He did not directly scold Samuel and deny this matter. Instead, he said, “Call Olivia back. We’re family. Let’s ask her first.”
“Will she tell the truth?” Samuel frowned. “She has already done such a shameless and immoral thing. Do you think she dares to admit it herself?” Liam tried to hold it in, but in the end, he could not help but hit Samuel hard with his walking stick. “She’s your daughter. How can a father say that about his daughter?”
Seeing that Liam was still protecting Olivia, Samuel became even angrier.
He was doing this for the Taylor family’s reputation!
If the Taylor family had a daughter who was a mistress, what would others think of the Taylor family? What would they think of Emma?
Would they question the Taylor family’s upbringing?
The Taylor family could not afford to lose face!
Liam really didn’t like Samuel’s appearance. He asked the butler to take his phone and planned to call Olivia personally to ask her to come back.
If there was anything, they should make it clear face to face.
After the butler made the call, he handed the phone to Liam.
The beeping sound rang for a long time before it was picked up.
“Hello?”
