Chapter 48

The fact that Olivia won the Lasker Award might cause a stir in the scientific community, but it may not

attract much attention in the business world.

Everyone was shocked because Olivia was the Taylor family’s daughter.

Among these wealthy families, many of their descendants had also joined the scientific and artistic

world. However, most of them were artists, lawyers, and doctors. Even if there were talented

descendants who entered national research institutes, they were rarely as talented as Olivia. With her

achievements, she could not rely on her family background and money alone. She was really capable.

Some short–sighted families with shallow foundations were only

surprised and felt that it was unbelievable. Then, they treated this matter as an interesting piece of

news and only discussed it a little, not paying much attention.

As for those family elders with deep foundations and wisdom, they thought deeper.

The term “scientist” seemed to symbolize poverty, but in modern society, it had nothing to do with

poverty. More importantly, there was an unimaginable political power behind scientists.

This was especially true for the top scientists. They had something to do with the government.

In the Hushe Republic, money was not a measure of everything.

It was listed by seniority, scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. In ancient times, merchants were

considered the lowest profession. Even today, despite the prosperity of commerce, scholars had a

higher status than them.

Soon, someone talked to Liam and asked if Olivia was married. They wanted to match their sons with

Olivia.

Liam indeed doted on Olivia in his heart, but compared to Amy, whom he had doted on for decades,

the difference was not small.

A daughter was always more important than a granddaughter.

Moreover, Liam was old. He did not want to interfere too much in many

things as long as the children in the family did not go overboard and hurt the harmony.

Hence, he tacitly agreed to Amy’s actions.

Anyway, Olivia had already left home for 18 years and was living a good life outside. Since Amy did not

want her to come home, she should not come back.

The Taylor family’s shares had already been given to Olivia. Liam felt that he did not owe this

granddaughter anything.

Businessmen valued profits. Between Amy, a strong woman who acted decisively, and Olivia, Liam

chose Amy.

But now, Olivia had shown everyone her power.

Liam started paying attention to this granddaughter again.

Almost instantly, everyone’s attention fell on Olivia.

Yvonne lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip.

Today was supposed to be her most glorious day, but it was snatched away by Olivia.

Sensing that Yvonne was in low spirits, Amy looked at her with heartache. “What’s wrong? You’re not

feeling well. Do you want to rest for a while?” Yvonne shook her head and smiled weakly. “Mom, I’m

fine. Miss Olivia has achieved so much. I’m very happy for her.”

“Miss Olivia? She’s younger than you. She’s your younger sister.”

Yvonne shook her head. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was like a small white flower swaying

in the wind. “Don’t say that. I know my status is low. I’m not worthy at all, but…”

She looked up, her bright eyes filled with yearning and anticipation. “It’s just that I really hope that one

day, I can call you mother openly and announce to everyone that you’re my mother. I’m looking forward

to this moment too much. That’s why I was sad when the news of Miss Olivia came.”

Yvonne explained in a panic, “It’s not that I’m not happy for Miss Olivia, but today is really too important

to me. I’m too yearning and have been looking forward to this day. That’s why I can’t control my

emotions. I’m sorry, Mom. I’m too selfish.”

“Silly girl.” Amy held her hand and comforted her. “It’s not your fault. You

don’t have to blame yourself.”

Yvonne sighed. “I think I’m a bad person. I actually guessed Miss Olivia just now and thought that she

did it on purpose. She deliberately announced that she won the award today to steal my limelight.”

Although Amy’s heart ached for Yvonne, she still had her rationality. The Lasker Award was an

international award, and it was the bellwether of the Nobel Prize. There was no possibility of

manipulation at all. Moreover, there had been a series of processes such as review, nomination, and

evaluation. It was impossible for Olivia to manipulate it.

She patted Yvonne’s hand and explained, “It’s impossible to manipulate the Lasker Award. It should be

a coincidence. Don’t be too sad. I’ll hold a bigger banquet for you on your birthday in a few days.”

Seeing that Amy did not follow her words, Yvonne’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

However, she quickly adjusted herself and pursed her lips at Amy. She smiled brightly and said, “I

know. That’s why I think I’m a bad person. I actually suspected Miss Olivia with ill intentions.”

The bright smile didn’t last for more than half a minute before Yvonne frowned and covered her chest.

“Ah, it hurts.”

“Yvonne, Yvonne, what’s wrong?” Amy was shocked and quickly got someone to carry Yvonne to the

hospital.

After a series of examinations, the doctor said that she was feeling uneasy. Due to her previous

suicide, her health was not good to begin with. Today, her mood had fluctuated drastically, and her

heart could not take it.

Knowing that Yvonne was affected by her emotions, Amy’s expression turned ugly. She knew that this

had nothing to do with Olivia. Olivia wasn’t even here, but she couldn’t help but take her anger out on

Olivia.

She felt that it was inappropriate for Olivia to win the Lasker Award at this time and disrupt Yvonne’s

banquet.

The Taylor family had two consecutive banquets where people fainted. Previously, it was Emma, but

this time, it was Yvonne.

For some reason, there were rumors that Miss Olivia was a jinx.

Miss Emma and Ms. Yvonne were female and weak, so they suffered because of Olivia first. If Olivia

continued to interact with the Taylor

family and the others, Emma and Yvonne would not be the only ones who suffered.

Olivia had won the Lasker Award, so Liam wanted to call her to ask about the exact situation. Amy saw

it and hurriedly stopped him. “Dad, didn’t you hear the rumors that she’s a jinx to Yvonne?”

Liam was surprised. “You believe in such things?”

“I’d rather believe it than not. Yvonne’s heart hurts when she hears about Olivia now. If you insist on

calling her back, I’ll bring Yvonne out to stay.” Liam held the phone and looked at Amy in a daze. He did

not speak for a long time. After a long time, he gave up dejectedly. He seemed to be muttering to

himself and questioning, “You used to love Olivia very much. How did you become… become…”

“Dad, people change. Back then, Olivia was the motivation to keep me alive, but now, it’s Yvonne who’s

supporting me.” Amy did not hate Olivia. She even felt sorry for Olivia for being lost for the

past 18

years.

However, Yvonne felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Olivia. Amy had no choice but to give up

Olivia.

She hoped that Olivia could understand and not blame her. If she wanted to blame someone, she could

only blame herself for being unlucky. It was her fault for being dishonest when she was young and

insisting on going out with Samuel. After that, she got lost.

She could only say that Olivia was unlucky and could not blame anyone else!
