Mr. Green, reacted very quickly and realized that something was wrong. He immediately turned around and reprimanded Cathy, “Shut up! Right now is not the time to argue about that.”
Then, he looked at Liam with a cold expression. “Liam, tell me in detail what happened to Samuel so we can try our best to come up with a plan.” Liam remained silent.
Mr. Green waited for a long time, but Liam did not say a word. Thus, Mr. Green suddenly became anxious, and his tone became worried. “Liam, say something. What happened to Samuel?”
Liam was still silent. His eyes were dim, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Maddie looked at William and frowned. “William, go ahead.”
William tilted his head and looked at Maddie seriously. “I don’t know.”
“He doesn’t know?” Maddie and Mr. Green were both shocked and thought.
They thought Liam did not say anything because Samuel’s matter was too complicated. To their surprise, Liam simply did not know anything. After the initial shock, Maddie’s expression turned even gloomier.
The less information there was, the less room for interference they had.
William explained in a low voice, “The information was given by the National Security Bureau, and that’s not a place one can penetrate easily. Dad doesn’t dare to do anything at all. He doesn’t even dare to contact his connections. Besides…”
William paused and looked at Maddie. “We have to keep Dad’s arrest a secret, too. Don’t let anyone know.”
Mr. Green’s expression darkened. “So, there’s nothing we can do?”
William nodded. “We can only wait.”
At this moment, Amelia, who was hiding behind Cathy, poked her head out and whispered, “What about Emma?”
Cathy turned around and glared at her.
Then, she said, “That’s not your issue. I’ll get Maddie to find out what exactly is going on with Emma. If…”

Speaking of this, Cathy was suddenly stunned. She seemed to have thought of something and said excitedly, “Could Samuel’s accident have something to do with Emma? This is too much of a coincidence.”
Then, she stared at Amelia and asked, “Tell me, did Samuel do something before the accident?”
Amelia looked confused. “He didn’t. We only wanted to apologize to Olivia online and ask her to forgive us.”
Olivia!
Cathy keenly caught a keyword. She looked up and instructed Maddie, “Maddie, don’t you have her contact information? Give her a call.”
Maddie hesitated. “I thought we can’t leak the news? Olivia is overseas now. Should we really call her?”
Cathy said, “Don’t mention Samuel. Just talk about Emma and ask if she was the one who reported Emma.”
Maddie hesitated.
Seeing this, Cathy was furious. She raised her hand and pinched Maddie. “This is not the time to hesitate! Hurry up and call her.”
Maddie dialed the number.
Cathy frowned. “Put it on speakers.”
Maddie took a deep breath and pressed the speaker button.
Olivia picked up the call very soon. “Aunt Maddie.”
Maddie glanced at her mother and said, “Olivia, I have something to ask you. Did you report Emma?”
Olivia was wearing home clothes and reading a book on the bed.
It was a book about Gorshire etiquette.
Her reading speed was really quick, turning a page in almost less than 10 seconds. It did not take long before she already finished more than half of the book.
When she received the call from Maddie, she was looking at the outfit etiquette.
After flipping a page, she said casually, “I told you not to provoke me.”
Maddie paused and subconsciously grabbed her phone tighter.
She wanted to turn off the speakerphone.
Amelia had already snatched the phone away. At this moment, she had

almost gone berserk. “Olivia, it’s really you. How dare you? How dare you report Emma? Your father is right. You have no conscience at all!” novelbin
“My father?” Olivia rolled her eyes and closed the book. “Madam Taylor, you knew my father, too?”
“What?” Amelia thought. She was confused and did not understand what Olivia meant.
Cathy pressed down on Amelia and took the phone from her hand. Then, she tried to talk down to Olivia as an elder. “Olivia, how can you talk to your mother like this? No matter how wrong your mother is, she gave birth to you, and you owe it to her.
“I’m not asking you to be filial and considerate. I just hope that you won’t make her angry. Can’t you even do that?”
“You know my mother, too?” Olivia was interested. Her tone became sad and bleak. “Unfortunately, I don’t know my parents much. They passed away when I was five…”
What the hell?
Everyone was dumbfounded and stiffened like statues.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Cathy’s face froze, and her eyebrows twitched. “Your mother is still alive and well. You’re not holding a grudge against Samuel and Amelia for not recognizing you, are you? No matter how angry you are, you can’t curse them like this!”
“I’m sorry, you must have misunderstood. I have nothing to do with the Taylor and the Green family, and I’m not the Taylor family’s lost daughter.” Olivia’s tone was cold. It was obvious that she did not want to talk about it anymore. “There’s an interview about me on the New York Times. If you have any questions, you can go take a look.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Cathy was stunned for a moment before calling again.
But Olivia did not pick up anymore.
William moved quickly and took out a laptop very soon. He opened the New York Times website and searched for Olivia’s exclusive interview.
All six people looked over in unison.
On it was a clear description of Olivia’s background. Her father was Jonathan Taylor, Layfield Hospital’s surgeon. Although Jonathan’s surname was also Taylor, he was not a member of the Taylor family. Olivia’s mother was Jessie Taylor, an ICU nurse at the Smith Hospital in

Layfield. After Olivia’s parents died when she was five, she was adopted by the Smith Hospital’s director, Isaac.
How could this be?
This time, the six of them were all completely dumbfounded.
With the New York Times‘ confirmation, in the future, even if they told people that Olivia was a member of their family, no one would believe them.
Amelia sat on the sofa in a daze. She just froze there and did not know
how to react.
Her mind was blank right now.
“Is Olivia really not my child?”
As soon as Amelia said this, Liam denied it. “Impossible. Olivia is the Taylor family’s bloodline. The paternity test result is still in the study.”
As he spoke, he looked up and instructed William, “Bring the report over.”
William turned around and went upstairs. After a while, he came back empty–handed with a strange expression. “The report is missing.”
Liam could not believe it. The report had always been upstairs. No one ever took it. How could it have disappeared all of a sudden?
Impossible, this was absolutely impossible!
Seeing that his grandfather was anxious, William became worried about Liam’s health. He quickly said, “Don’t worry. The test center should have the records. I’ll call them now and ask them to check.”
Liam’s face turned pale. “Hurry up and call them.”
William immediately called the test center. He knew someone there. When that person heard that William wanted to check the records, he immediately agreed. “Wait a moment. I’ll check it now. It’ll be quick.”
“Thanks a lot.” William turned to Liam and said in a comforting tone, “Grandpa, see, don’t worry. There’s a record.”
Fifteen minutes later, William’s friend’s puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone. “Strange, strange. This is so strange. Why can’t I find anything? The records are gone. There’s no trace at all.”
Both the paper files and the electronic files were all gone!
