Chapter 298

It was already evening when Olivia returned to the Sullivan family's residence.

As soon as she reached the door, Elena ran over. "Miss Taylor, bad news. Mrs. Sullivan is angry."

Olivia raised her eyes slightly. She had a puzzled expression.

Elena quickly explained.

It turned out that Mrs. Sullivan was upset that Tyson came back alone with Andrew in the afternoon. Mrs. Sullivan was unhappy and felt that Olivia was not attentive enough to her grandson. Brad caught wind of it and said something to Mrs. Sullivan. She was fuming.

Mrs. Sullivan said she had to teach Olivia a lesson. Olivia was not allowed to go out for the next few days.

She would teach Olivia how to behave.

The more Elena spoke, the more agitated she became. "Why is he behaving like that? He's scheming and such a lowlife. Also, Mrs. Sullivan is too gullible for her age. How could she just..." Before she could finish speaking, Olivia gave her a look.

Elena immediately fell silent and lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

Olivia said calmly, "Mrs. Sullivan is Daniel's biological mother. She's an elder. Even if she's a little unhappy, we have to respect her when we speak about her."

It was not easy to maintain a cordial relationship.

Daniel could hold a grudge against his biological mother, but this did not mean that Olivia could disrespect Mrs. Sullivan.

"But, she..." Elena's heart ached for Olivia.

"Stop talking." Olivia waved her hand. "I'll take care of it."

When she walked into the living room, Mrs. Sullivan told Olivia that she would be showing her the ropes personally over the next few days.

Brad sat at the side and looked at Olivia quietly. He had a faint smile. However, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Mr. Brown stood at the side, looking down. He was like an emotionless block of wood.

He did not want to be embroiled in it.

It seemed that Ms. Taylor was going to suffer the next few days.

That was also the reason why Mr. Brown did not think highly of Olivia previously. He did not understand why Olivia had to cause trouble for herself by provoking Brad.

Mrs. Sullivan personally raised Brad. He was like her biological son. A few words from Brad could affect Mrs. Sullivan's impression of Ms. Taylor.

It was not a wise move to go against Brad.

Brad, who was sitting at the side, was proud of himself.

With just a few words, he could sow dissatisfaction between Mrs. Sullivan and Olivia. He was only teaching Olivia a small lesson this time. If she continued to be so insensible, he would not hold back.

Mrs. Sullivan offered to show Olivia the ropes personally for the next few days. She initially thought that Olivia would find excuses to refuse her or have it postponed. She had already made up reasons to reject Olivia if the latter did not agree immediately. She did not expect Olivia to accept straight away.

Olivia was so docile that Mrs. Sullivan was stunned. She stared at Olivia for a long time.

Brad also frowned. He suspected that Olivia was up to no good.

Olivia's performance over the next few days was jaw-dropping.

Olivia had been serious throughout the days spent with Mrs. Sullivan. She showed no impatience. No matter what Mrs. Sullivan said, she would remember it carefully.

Not only did she chat with Mrs. Sullivan every day, but she also gave her a massage and acupuncture to treat her heart disease.

She even personally cooked for Mrs. Sullivan.

Mrs. Sullivan was initially a little uncomfortable. She did not want to chat with Olivia. She felt that Olivia was her junior and her personality was not likable. She thought Olivia would speak unpleasantly. Unexpectedly, Olivia and Mrs. Sullivan got along very well.

Olivia's words touched Mrs. Sullivan's heart. Everything she said made sense to the latter.

The two of them had very similar values and interests.

Mrs. Sullivan liked everything Olivia liked.

Even though Mrs. Sullivan was not familiar with the things recommended by Olivia at the beginning, she immediately fell in love with them after she got the hang of it.

In less than three days, Olivia had successfully replaced Brad as Mrs. Sullivan's favorite person.

It had always been Brad talking to Mrs. Sullivan in the past. Now, Mrs. Sullivan was no longer willing to chat with Brad. Instead, she frowned and looked at Brad. "You're not young anymore.

Why are you hovering at home every day? Why are you meddling in matters overseen by others? A man should focus on his career."

Brad found it unbelievable.

Mrs. Sullivan enjoyed his company the most. Why would she find him annoying now?

Brad immediately felt uneasy. He asked Mrs. Sullivan in a soft tone, "What's wrong? Why are you displeased with me? Did I do something wrong?"

It was Brad's usual tactic. As long as he spoke that way and acted fearful, Mrs. Sullivan's heart would soften immediately.

However, the tactic did not work this time.

Mrs. Sullivan had goosebumps all over her body after hearing what Brad said. She felt uncomfortable and walked away to maintain a distance from him. She then ran upstairs.

It was as if Brad was a ghost.

Even Mr. Brown was shocked, let alone Brad.

Mr. Brown quickly went upstairs to chase after Mrs. Sullivan. She was in her room.

Mr. Brown entered the room. Mrs. Sullivan was sitting on the bed and panting heavily. He was puzzled as he asked. "May I ask if there's anything wrong?"

"Close the door!" Mrs. Sullivan glanced behind Mr. Brown.

Mr. Brown closed the door.

Mrs. Sullivan sighed dejectedly. "Oh my god, Brad is so off-putting!"

Mr. Brown was frowning when he heard Mrs. Sullivan continue, "For the past few days, Olivia has shared her views on why she thinks Brad should behave more fittingly. I thought about it.

She was right. Brad should have focused on his career and not whine and meddle in stuff that does not matter. He has crossed my boundaries."

"Olivia told me that Brad was whiny about the smallest of matters. I didn't believe her. But did you see how he whined about me not paying him enough attention? He's a grown man now. How off-putting." Mrs. Sullivan only felt goosebumps all over her body.

She was a little annoyed with Brad.

Olivia was right. He was a big man. He spent all his time in the house. She had nothing to say if he did not want to make any improvements, but he whined and complained about unimportant matters. How annoying!

Mrs. Sullivan was getting more easily annoyed with Brad.

Olivia had already finished preparing dinner. She went to the living room to call Mrs. Sullivan to eat, but she did not see her. Olivia was about to ask the servant.

Brad stood before her. He had a livid expression as he gritted his teeth. "Olivia, what did you say behind my back?"

Olivia waved her hand at the servants.

The servants in the living room immediately turned around and left. Their movements were as agile as well-trained soldiers.

Brad looked up. He was shocked.

He was wrong to underestimate her.

She had only been in the residence for a few days, but the servants were already listening to her orders. Even Mr. Brown was slightly biased towards her.

Brad's heart could not help but sink. He felt like he had brought a wolf into the house.

Olivia sat on the sofa and looked up at Brad with an innocent expression. "Didn't you ask me to come here to be a companion? Why are you angry now? It's so hard to guess what you're thinking!" Brad's face was livid. "Olivia, don't play tricks with me."

"I'm not playing tricks." Olivia smiled gently. "I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine.

You're not the only one who knows how to manipulate people. I know how to do it. Moreover, I'm doing it better than you. I've surpassed you."

Was it not just a simple game?

Olivia had never known anything else easier to pick up.

She wanted to use Brad's tactics and make him understand he was wrong to provoke her.

Chapter 299 Olivia had never enjoyed competitions. She disliked it.

She liked to be the referee. She could decide the outcome.

She could even set the rules.

Olivia had no interest in competing with Brad. She wanted to be the referee. She would decide Brad's fate.

In the past, Olivia could not be bothered with Brad. However, he was the one who provoked her first. Olivia had to retaliate.

After accompanying Mrs. Sullivan for a week, Olivia successfully won her over. Mrs. Sullivan grabbed Olivia's hand every time. She was regretful that she did not have such a considerate daughter like Olivia. Occasionally, when Mrs. Sullivan was alone at night, she would feel that she had not lived fully.

Why did she not have a daughter?

Back then, how could she have been blinded and only focused on Brad? She even postponed her plan to get pregnant until seven or eight years later.

She might have given birth to a thoughtful daughter like Olivia.

Although she was not angry at Brad, Mrs. Sullivan felt a little regretful when she thought about it, She sighed.

She wanted Olivia to be her daughter.

She wondered why Olivia was not born as her daughter.

It was clear that Olivia had won Mrs Sullivan's heart.

On the other hand, Brad was also sighing.

Recalling how Mrs. Sullivan had changed over the past few days, Brad felt he had lured a wolf into his house.

Why did he ask Olivia to come over to train under Mrs. Sullivan? Why did he ask her to come to their residence?

He was the one who brought it upon himself.

Brad wanted to cry. He regretted what he did.

However, he was not someone to be easily defeated. He was only upset for a moment before he started devising again.

Mrs. Sullivan was his trump card. Everything depended on Mrs. Sullivan.

Therefore, he definitely could not lose this trump card!

Brad thought about the meals Olivia made for Mrs. Sullivan.

He was sure cooking was a piece of cake.

Brad made a decision. He would wake up early the next day to make breakfast for Mrs.

Sullivan. It would show his filial piety.

Brad felt that he had an obvious advantage over Olivia. Older people often thought it was mandatory to have their daughters-in-law prepare meals for them.

It would be rare for someone to cook for their sister-in-law.

Brad did not sleep. He sat in front of the computer and looked through various menus for breakfast the next day.

He had decided on what he would make. Mushroom soup and waffles.

Brad woke up early. He woke up at four in the morning. He went to the kitchen and instructed the chef and servants inside.

The mushrooms had to be chunky. All other ingredients also had to be fresh and top-notch.

He would not accept any subpar ingredients.

There were five or six people in the kitchen. Chef Waynes was so busy that he did not have time to have breakfast.

When Olivia arrived at six o'clock, Brad had already prepared the mushroom soup as planned.

Brad leaned against the door and looked at Olivia smugly. "I'll be in charge of breakfast this morning."

He could also do such things to please Mrs. Sullivan.

Olivia was not the only one.

He was proud to snatch Olivia's job of making breakfast. There was nothing she could do about it.

Brad was sure that Mrs. Sullivan would be touched after waking up to see the breakfast he had prepared.

He imagined Mrs. Sullivan's expression. He also imagined how Olivia would sulk.

Brad was proud of himself.

It would be a heavy blow to Olivia. Olivia would not dare to be so arrogant in the future.

Olivia only tilted her head and glanced at the kitchen before leaving the dining room. She said indifferently, "Since you're here, I'll go back."

Brad was stunned.

She retreated easily. She did not even argue with him.

Brad was shocked. He could not help but size up Olivia. He realized her gaze was calm. There was no dissatisfaction or anger on her face. There was not even a hint of mockery.

He was puzzled.

The more Brad thought about it, the more he frowned.

It was hard to understand Olivia.

Upstairs on the second floor. Mrs. Sullivan woke up early. She was wearing pajamas while practicing the breathing techniques that Olivia taught her.

Not only was the breathing technique easy to practice, but she noticed herself becoming more alert these days after practicing it for just a few days.

Mrs. Sullivan felt hungry after she was done with the first round of practice. She quickly washed up and changed her clothes.

A servant came in to help her. Seeing that Mrs. Sullivan was in a good mood, she could not help but ask curiously, "Mrs. Sullivan, is there a happy occasion today?" Mrs. Sullivan smiled and glanced at her. "You are sharp. You noticed it."

The servant smiled. "I've been with you for years."

"Yes, time flies." Mrs. Sullivan nodded. She said excitedly, "Olivia said she would make me chocolate croissants this morning. I've been looking forward to them all night." "Chocolate croissants?" The servant's expression changed.

Mrs. Sullivan could tell something was amiss. She immediately frowned. "What's wrong?"

The servant smiled awkwardly. "You'll know when we're at the dining table."

Brad had long gathered the servants and said that he wanted to give Mrs. Sullivan a surprise.

He wanted them all to keep the secret and not say a word.

Hence, the servant did not say a word. She remembered Brad's instructions.

Mrs. Sullivan went to the third floor. She wanted to find Andrew and bring him downstairs.

Andrew was painting. When he saw his grandmother, he pounced on her happily. He asked, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Sullivan kissed her grandson's tender face. "Andrew, let's head downstairs for breakfast now. Olivia is making us chocolate croissants for breakfast. Let's go enjoy them."

"That's great." Andrew was overjoyed to hear what his grandmother said.

He was feeling hungry. Moreover, he liked Olivia's cooking the most.

Unfortunately, Olivia usually did not make much. Both his grandmother and he only had small servings whenever Olivia cooked. They always did not have enough of her food.

"Why doesn't she make more?" Andrew was frustrated. He complained to his grandmother.

Seeing her grandson's response, Mrs. Sullivan smiled. She replied to him dotingly, "Olivia isn't a chef. She has a lot of things to do. How can she cook so many dishes? Don't you like Chef Waynes's dishes?"

Andrew nodded and sighed. "I used to like his dishes, but I don't like them any more now." He made it clear that his favorite cook was Olivia.

Mrs. Sullivan laughed uncontrollably. She pointed at Andrew and said, "You little guy, you are so fussy."

The servant stood at the side and listened to them praise Olivia's cooking. She was very curious.

Was Ms. Taylor better at cooking than Chef Waynes?

It sounded unbelievable. Chef Waynes's cooking skills were already top-notch.

In the dining room downstairs. Brad was ready.

He got someone to place the breakfast he made on the table. The rest of the breakfast made by Chef Waynes was left in the kitchen and would be served later.

Looking at the breakfast on the dining table, Brad was proud.

He was sure Mrs. Sullivan would be touched at the sight of the breakfast he prepared personally.

He could not wait to see how touched she would be.

"Where is she?" Brad asked a servant beside him.

The servant replied, "She is already downstairs. She'll be here soon."
