Billionaire’s Missing Darling

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

that happened, she needed to establish a strong emotional connection with him. Only with a deep emotional bond could she
hope that Alexander would not blame her when the truth was revealed. She thought to herself, ‘No, no. I have to remain calm
and find a way to make Alexander pay attention to myself.
After regaining her composure, she looked up at Alexander and said softly, “Alexander, are you going to Wayne Country?”
Alexander frowned, looking displeased. “This is a matter of the Grant family. You shouldn’t get involved that much.”
In recent times, the Grant family had experienced changes, and many people were coming and going, making it difficult to keep
things secret. Bettany had been at home all along, and she couldn’t be kept in the dark about the situation. So, she knew that
Alexander was going to Wayne Country for something related to Olivia.
Speaking of this matter, Bettany was also very surprised. In her mind, Olivia was just a clever and wealthy person. She had
never imagined that Olivia was the director of the Capitol Research Institute, with such vast influence that even the Grant family
couldn’t handle her. That woman was truly impressive.
Bettany knew that Alexander was going to find Olivia in Wayne Country, but she didn’t know the specifics. She could only guess.
“Alexander, I don’t know why you’re going to see Olivia, but I think that since I have some connection with her, maybe I can be of
some help?”
Alexander, who had been quite impatient, suddenly felt a stirring in his heart upon hearing her suggestion. After a moment of
contemplation, he said, “Pack your things and come with me.” Bettany’s face lit up with a big smile, and she joyfully replied, “I’ll
do that right away.”
Olivia and her group had already arrived in Wayne Country and were staying in a hotel near the auction site. As the auction
approached, people from all over the world were converging on the area, creating a bustling and chaotic atmosphere. Olivia was
concerned about potential accidents and chose to stay quietly in the hotel, avoiding going anywhere.
Huntley sat at the table, holding a catalog of auction items. She said, “The auction. will last for three days. These are the items
for tomorrow, and they are not particularly valuable. We can go take a look to see what’s happening.”
Olivia took the catalog and saw that it contained various strange items such as voodoo worms, talismans, and curses, along with
some rare antiques. Seeing this, Huntley explained, “These antiques were all acquired by tomb raiders. They cannot be traded

through legitimate channels, have all come here. Wayne Country doesn’t inquire about the origin or destination of auction items.”

Olivia nodded and her gaze lingered on a curse for a while before she asked curiously, “Are these all real?”
Huntley shook her head. “It’s hard to say. Some believe in them, some don’t. I’m not sure about these things either.” She
provided an example. “Ordinary people

don’t believe in these things, but there do have people, the rich and celebrities, who believe in them and even use voodoo dolls.
We don’t have to believe in them. Just keep our distance and pay respect would be fine.”
Olivia nodded. Soon, the day of the auction arrived, and Daniel had booked a VIP box in advance. People entering the auction
all wore masks and uniform robes, making it impossible to recognize anyone. Even when they spoke, they used voice. changers.
Upon entering the box, they looked through the window at the crowd below, with everyone wearing identical masks. Elena was
utterly surprised. “Is this level of security necessary? Even their shoe sizes are uniform. Look at that person. He even has insoles
to fake the height.”
Huntley sat down and took a sip of the bottled water she had brought along. “This place is infested with voodoo worms
everywhere. It’s better to be cautious. In case someone seeks revenge and uses voodoo, it would be a disaster.” She cautioned
Elena, saying, “The box is soundproof, and the glass has been treated, making it impossible to see inside from the outside. You
can talk in the box if needed, but once you step outside, don’t say a word or touch anything. Elena nodded cautiously.
The auction officially began at 8 o’clock in the morning, starting with early items. such as burial antiques. Olivia wasn’t interested
in these and was just observing her surroundings. The auction venue had three levels and a hundred private
boxes The first level was the main hall, where many people stood in close
proximity. No one spoke. To bid on an item, participants simply used their electronic handsets to place bids.
Daniel sat beside Olivia and quietly asked, “There are a few pieces of gems below that seem quite nice. Do you like them?
Should I bid?”

Olivia furrowed her brows. “No.” Her menstrual period had not arrived, and the likelihood of her being pregnant was quite high.
She didn’t want anything impure.
