Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 438
Not only were the others taken aback, but even the First Elder’s look toward Olivia turned stern.
It appeared to the First Elder that the Saintess was no longer as timid and obedient as before. It was as if she had become a
different person and had suddenly become powerful.
If it were not for the fact that her blood was golden and her body had the marking of a golden voodoo worm, he would suspect
that she was an imposter. Irrespective of the situation, he remained a seasoned and composed individual. Unlike the others, he
did not display much agitation. Meanwhile, his tone and expression were notably more gentle as he addressed her, “Saintess...”
He spoke in a calm tone, wanting to ask about Ashley.
Unexpectedly, Olivia turned around and interrupted him instantly. “Are you here to deal with Ashley, the sinner?”
The First Elder was instantly stunned, wondering what she meant and how did Ashley become a sinner.
“Berry!” Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Alicia was consumed by fury. Disregarding her injured finger, she lunged forward, getting
prepared to strike Olivia. “You were the one who ordered the golden voodoo worm to harm Ashley, yet you have the audacity to
twist the truth. You deceitful, vile bitch! Someone of your nature isn’t fit to be the Saintess of the Flores family!”
“I’m not worthy?” Olivia smiled coldly. She tilted her head and slowly approached Alicia. “Then can I pass the job to you, huh?
You can be the Saintess of the Flores Family!”
Upon hearing this, Alicia immediately fell silent.
She did not have the courage to agree.
Alicia was furious, but she could only glare at Olivia in silence. After all, she was afraid that she would draw the trouble to herself.
It did not matter if Berry died, but she did not want to be the Saintess.
At this moment, Duncan and Lydia arrived. Duncan’s head was still wrapped in gauze, but his eyes were red as he suppressed
the immense anger in his body. Lydia rushed up immediately. “Berry, you bitch! Are you crazy? How dare you? How dare you
hurt your brother? Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re the Saintess? Do you think I can’t do
anything to you? I’m telling you, it’s impossible. Stop dreaming! Pfft, Saintess? You’re just a
human–shaped food. You really think too highly of yourself. Let me kill you now and replace you with someone else.”

Lydia’s tone was filled with hatred. At this point, she did not care about anything

else, allowing herself to say whatever came to mind. However, she failed to notice that the First Elder’s gaze was turning cold.
Olivia chuckled. “You’re correct! Actually, I’ve been considering resigning from my role as the Saintess. It’s essentially worthless.
Why not pass the position to your daughter, Alicia?”
Hearing this, Lydia immediately screamed and waved her hand vigorously. “No, no! You vicious woman! Don’t even think about
it. Alicia won’t be the Saintess.” “Then who will?” The smile on Olivia’s face widened. She turned to the First Elder and looked at
the people behind him. “I heard that the Flores Family’s Saintess came from the lineal branch bloodline of the Four Elders. You
see, my mother has said that she wants to kill me and replace me with someone else. However, she doesn’t want her other
daughter to be the Saintess. Well, I guess we must pick someone among you all. Tell me, which family has a girl of the right
age? Let me choose.”
Olivia’s words instantly drew a wave of hatred from Lydia. Meanwhile, even the First Elder looked at Lydia with displeasure and
reprimanded coldly. “You! If you don’t know what you should say, shut up. The Saintess is the symbol of the Flores Family, so it
cannot be replaced arbitrarily. Be respectful with your words, eh? Since Berry has already become the Saintess, she’s no longer
your daughter. She’s the symbol of the entire clan, so watch your mouth!”
Lydia, in her forties, had long enjoyed a life of comfort within the Flores Family. She was used to receiving respect and frequently
leveraging her connections with the elders, so being publicly reprimanded by the First Elder left her feeling embarrassed.
Her face swiftly reddened, and she felt such intense shame that she wished she could vanish into thin air.
She was angry and aggrieved.
and aggrieved.
She believed she had no reason to respect Berry, especially considering that her son had suffered a significant injury due to
Berry’s actions.
Lydia straightened her posture, saying, “First Elder, you have to stand up for Ashley. You can’t just let Berry go because she’s the
Saintess...”
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Duncan.

Duncan tugged at her, hoping that she would stop talking.
Lydia’s earlier words had already stirred up anger among everyone, given that no family desired their daughter to become the
Saintess. Therefore, it would not be easy to find a replacement for the role.
Duncan was much smarter than Lydia. He did not stand on Ashley’s side and ask the First Elder to punish the Saintess. Instead,
he stood on the interests of the entire clan. “First Elder, Ashley’s injuries were caused by the Saintess activating the golden
voodoo worm. You see, it is very dangerous to activate the worm. She has an extreme personality and is ruthless, as you’ve
personally observed. She’s not
hesitant to even strike her own father. Besides, she even refuses to spare her younger siblings. If you continue to harbor such a
merciless individual and condone her behaviors, more of our members could face severe injuries, similar to what happened to
Ashley.
These words moved the First Elder and the others.
While they might overlook Ashley’s injuries, they could not disregard their own self–interests. If, at any point, the Saintess were
to unleash the golden voodoo worm to attack them, it could cost them their lives.
The Four Elders stood beside the First Elder with a solemn expression. “Duncan is right. This matter is very important, and we
must deal with it strictly.”
The rest began to voice their agreement.
The First Elder was lost in contemplation and could not reach a decision at the
moment.
Standing behind Olivia, Charlee’s eyes were red. She gently pulled at Olivia’s sleeve and whispered, “Saintess, please beg for
mercy.”
Olivia remained silent, however.
Charlee was getting more and more anxious. “Say something! Say something!” Olivia nodded. “Alright. Who said I can activate
the golden voodoo worm?”
The people inside the room were struck with astonishment the moment she finished.

Silence and shock enveloped the room. After a long time, a man asked in surprise, “You can’t activate the golden voodoo
worm?”
“I certainly can’t. Olivia was still sitting calmly on the chair as she added, “The one who can activate the golden voodoo worm is
not the Saintess, but the Holy Lord! If I can really activate the worm, do you think you can still be here unharmed?”
Deep in contemplation, the First Elder inquired, “If you cannot activate the golden voodoo worm, what happened to Ashley?”
Olivia shook her head helplessly and sighed. “Oh, you didn’t know? I thought your were here to punish Ashley. Just now, he
attacked me with the intention of harming the golden voodoo worm. In order to protect itself, it decided to control the voodoo
worm within Ashley’s body.”
At this point, Olivia’s tone suddenly turned cold. “Elders, the fact that the golden voodoo worm had no choice but to resort to
self–defense indicates that Ashley’s intentions extended beyond mere physical attacks. His intention is not merely to strike or
harm me; he truly aims to end my life. If I died, the golden voodoo worm would definitely be severely injured before finding the
new Saintess, and you know how it is connected to the lives of the entire clan. If anything happens. to the golden voodoo worm,
the lives of the entire clan will be in danger.”
She then added, “So, considering this, do you still perceive Ashley causing harm to
me as a trivial matter? Shouldn’t someone who acts so recklessly and foolishly face consequences, which serve as a deterrent
to others? Regardless of his personal grievances with me, he shouldn’t prioritize them over the safety of the entire clan. Aren’t
you concerned that by letting him go unpunished today and forgiving him, you’re running the risk of him causing fatal harm to me
one day, potentially implicating the entire clan?
“Shut up!” Lydia was seething with rage that her entire body trembled. Pointing at Olivia, her lips quivered as she spoke, “You’re
talking nonsense! Ashley didn’t hurt you at all. You were the one who took the initiative to activate the golden voodoo worm to
hurt him!”
“Oh?” Olivia raised her eyebrows. “I’m so powerful that I can actually activate a golden voodoo worm? In that case, I must be the
Holy Lord.”
Although Lydia hated Olivia to death, she could not find any words to refute it. Now, she was in a dilemma.
If the Saintess were to activate

the golden voodoo worm, she would ascend to become the Holy Lord, a position of paramount importance to the Flores Family.
Ultimately, everyone would be obliged to heed the commands of the Holy Lord. The belief was that the golden voodoo worm
defended itself and acted by initiating an attack on Ashley. Therefore, Ashley was seen as a sinner attempting to harm the
Saintess and would face the most severe punishment within the clan. Irrespective of the results, Ashley would face a
disadvantageous situation. Lydia’s sight darkened, and overcome by anger, she collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
