Chapter 231 She Has Me in Her Heart
When Olivia heard this, she frowned slightly.
Daniel knew what was going on between her and Michael.
If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't bring up Michael in front of her.
Since he mentioned it on purpose, there must be something wrong.
So Olivia asked, "The Johnson Group doesn't have any medical-related business right now. Why is he looking for Michael?"
Daniel said, "I think it's probably about Michael's leg. Before, he and Sophia showed up at the pharmaceutical association meeting to ask Mr. McCoy for help, right?
Now that he knows there's no hope, he'll definitely try every way to find a capable doctor to help him."
Hearing this answer, Olivia was a bit surprised, but not really shocked.
Michael's leg did need ongoing treatment.
Since she and he had their falling out, the treatment stopped.
So much time had passed, Michael's leg problem must have come back.
But would it help for them to find Lyle?
Olivia didn't really believe in Lyle's abilities.
When she was treating Michael, she used special treatment methods from the Medica Vitae Sect.
Regular treatment couldn't cure Michael's leg at all.
Otherwise, any random doctor could treat it, and Michael wouldn't need to search everywhere for miracle doctors.
Olivia was certain that Lyle hadn't learned the Medica Vitae Sect's treatment methods.
Thinking about this, Olivia couldn't help but find it ridiculous.
Back then, she worked diligently and exhausted herself treating him.
Everything she did, everything she gave, was never valued by Michael.
Now, when he couldn't stand the relapse, he just grabbed anyone to treat him.
Did he really think any random person could replace the Medica Vitae Sect's medical skills?
It was ridiculous!
Olivia said coldly to Daniel, "This has nothing to do with me. He can look for whoever he wants."
As a doctor, she had done everything she could for this patient.
If he wouldn't listen to advice, he'd pay the price sooner or later.
Daniel nodded and also voiced his concern, "I just hope when we sue Lyle later, the Johnson Group won't interfere, especially with Sophia stirring things up."
Hearing this, Olivia laughed and said, "With you here, what's there to fear from the Johnson Group? You've already won so many battles for me before."
When Daniel heard her say this, he felt very satisfied. This meant she saw everything he did and kept it in her heart.
So she did have a place for him in her heart.
Thinking this way, Daniel felt even happier.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly asked Olivia, "I heard that last week your boyfriend came to the research institute to see you? And someone even sent you flowers. What's that about?"
Olivia didn't expect him to suddenly bring this up, and couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you gossiping too?"
Daniel said seriously for once, "As a qualified partner, shouldn't I pay more attention? What if it's true? I'm afraid you'll abandon the company and run away again.
Of course, I'm mainly worried you'll be deceived."
For Daniel, this news, whether true or false, made him feel threatened.
Listening to his rare serious tone, Olivia felt that Daniel's attitude was somehow strange, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
However, she didn't think much of it.
She just assumed it was aftereffects from when they had their falling out years ago.
To reassure him, Olivia immediately promised, "Not anymore, don't worry. Being deceived once in this lifetime is more than enough. My goal now is just to make money.
Besides, the company's current situation doesn't allow me to walk away.
Not to mention the effort I've reinvested, with so many R&D projects now, if I really dared to run off, the military would be the first to come after me."
At this point, Olivia changed the subject and said to Daniel, "By the way, I'm thinking about expanding the current R&D team.
This current group has matured, and everyone can complete their tasks independently.
But we have too many projects now and not enough people. If we don't expand, progress will be very slow."
Seeing her talk about business, Daniel quickly put the earlier matter aside, "Sure, what are your plans for this? You can tell me."
The two discussed business matters, and before long, they finalized the recruitment plan and the specific number of people needed.
The current research institute had plenty of space and could accommodate several more teams without any problem.
Daniel also suggested, "I'll communicate with Christopher's side and see if they can provide some R&D team personnel. His people are quite reliable, and it saves us from having to search from scratch."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter for you to arrange."
Both were efficient people, and they finalized everything in one morning.
The follow-up matters would be implemented by Daniel's side.
Later, when Daniel left the research institute and got in the car, he vaguely remembered that he hadn't gotten the answer he wanted.
So what exactly was her relationship with that psychologist?
Daniel's previously comfortable mood felt like something was stuck in his chest.
He couldn't help but ask Eric in the front seat, "Haven't you found any information about that person yet?"
Eric didn't dare hide anything. He replied, "We did find some clues, but we're not sure yet if it's him..."
Hearing this, Daniel frowned and said, "Tell me."
Eric nodded and quickly said, "Following the timeline of how Ms. Smith met him, I found that Mr. Hamilton's information is protected by officials and very hard to dig up.
Based on the information that he's from Harmony City, I looked into the backgrounds of various wealthy families in Harmony City and found some leads.
Among the prominent families, there's no one with the surname Hamilton, but there is among the established clans.
A newly risen clan!
They specialize in military industry business and have very close ties with the military.
Their company, you might not be unfamiliar with—Skyward Corporation.
This enterprise was actually just a small company in Harmony City early on, doing ordinary commercial business, quite obscure.
The only thing famous about them at the time was probably the company's heiress—Liliana Hamilton.
She married into Harmony City's first wealthy family, the Robinson family—Brandon.
But surprisingly, Liliana died just a few years after entering the family.
Liliana had a son, but specific information can't be found because he rarely appeared in public.
According to some rumors from Harmony City, he apparently cut ties with the Robinson family and now goes by the surname Hamilton."
Eric stopped there.
Daniel went over what he said again in his mind and quickly understood what he meant.
He said, "You're saying that Andrew is the son of Liliana and Brandon?"
Eric said, "This is just my guess. After all, the person in charge of Skyward Corporation, Mr. Hamilton, is also very low-key and has never appeared in public.
However, what we know is that Skyward Corporation only officially transformed into a military industry enterprise in recent years and has been thriving in Harmony City.
When Liliana married into the Robinson family, Skyward Corporation didn't get any substantial benefits from the Robinson family.
Instead, it was after her death that the family company soared to become an untouchable existence.
Also, the reason I have this speculation is because Andrew has connections with the military, and the surname matches. Do you think there could be so many coincidences?"
Daniel didn't speak again.
But he already believed Eric's speculation.
He didn't think there were so many coincidences in this world.
That Andrew, from the first moment he saw him, he felt the man had an unusual background.
How many ordinary people could have that kind of presence?
Andrew Hamilton, Skyward Corporation.
What Eric found out was probably pretty close to the truth.
Thinking about this, Daniel pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a heavy breath.
What a formidable rival.
In this world, he wasn't the only one who understood Olivia's excellence.
The dusty pearl had been noticed by others too.
After settling his thoughts, Daniel went back and had Eric handle the recruitment matter first.
And contact Christopher to discuss this issue with him.
When they signed the contract before, there was a subsidy policy from above for R&D funding.
But regarding talent, Christopher said with some difficulty to Daniel, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that your request is a bit difficult."
Daniel smiled skillfully, "Mr. Taylor, you're being too modest. In this area, is there really anything that's difficult for you?"
Christopher sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you. The higher-ups have already issued a task to recruit all talents to the research institute in Harmony City. They're currently searching nationwide."
Christopher explained the current situation to Daniel.
After hearing this, Daniel knew there was really no chance and didn't push it. "Alright then, since you put it that way, I can only figure it out myself. For other matters going forward, I'll need you to look out for us more. Let's have dinner together when you're free."
He politely finished chatting with Christopher, then hung up and told Olivia the result.
Olivia was also a bit surprised.
However, she had some understanding of this kind of official recruitment.
Doing this, they were probably looking for a group of experienced R&D elites.
Olivia couldn't help but wonder if Rodolfo was part of this recruitment plan.
Since coming to Emerald City, Rodolfo had been quite busy.
Olivia had thought he went out for walks and fun, but when Simon mentioned it, she learned that Rodolfo went to meetings every day.
What kind of meetings required Rodolfo to go every day?
She now had some answers.
However, she still needed to confirm.
After work that day, she picked up Bianca and headed to Rodolfo's place.
Simon was delighted and made a big table of delicious food, including several desserts that Bianca loved.
When they were almost done eating, Olivia curiously asked Rodolfo about the meetings.
Rodolfo calmly wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Your information is quite well-informed. Harmony City does indeed plan to have me go there.
This plan existed before I came to Emerald City.
During this time, officials have been holding meetings continuously.
This R&D team has extremely high requirements. The people the officials are looking for are all professionals with decades of R&D experience."
