Chapter 395

This incident spread quickly and the news soon reached Tom’s ears.

Tom’s initial reaction was disbelief.

He couldn’t believe it. It just couldn’t be true.

Lately, he had been riding high on his success. The members of the Grant family were well aware that the First Elder had entrusted him with the matter concerning the Smith family, and he had indeed handled it remarkably well.

Both the First Elder and the others in the Grant family praised him.

There were even rumors that the First Elder favored him to succeed him in the future.

Although Tom didn’t consider such thoughts, the recognition from his family members brought him great satisfaction, and he was filled with confidence. Now, when he unexpectedly heard this news, it left him in a state of shock. He couldn’t believe that he had fallen into Olivia’s trap. He had planned for so long and boasted in front of the First Elder that he would obtain the Smith family’s connections.

For this goal, he had been willing to put all his wealth on the line.

But now, Jarron and Gillian informed him that Olivia had known about his plans all along. Not only did she outsmart him and take all of his assets, but she also purged the troublemakers within the Smith family.

It was as if she had handed him an empty shell.

Tom’s body swayed and his vision turned black. He muttered, “Impossible, it can’t be true.”

Jarron and Gillian exchanged a worried glance, feeling apprehensive themselves. Zelen who was sitting beside him, concealed her anger and spoke to Tom in a hushed voice, “Mr. Tom, you can’t entirely trust Olivia’s words. This might be at smoke screen that she’s using to intentionally disrupt your thoughts.”

Hearing this, Tom’s spirits lifted slightly, and he looked directly at Zelen with an eager gaze. “Are you saying that Olivia is lying?”

Seeing Tom regain some of his composure, Zelen heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “Olivia’s words contain a mix of truth and falsehood. They aren’t entirely true, but they aren’t entirely false either.

“Consider this, Olivia is only 25 years old, and she met Mr. Phil and Mr. Swift when she was just a child. At that time, she was just a little girl. How could prominent figures like Mr. Phil and Mr. Swift just casually meet a child? “It must have been due to their respect for Isaac’s reputation. “However, Olivia has known these two gentlemen for over a decade and has
