Chapter 161
After Jarren left, Blake had no appetite. She only had a few mouthfuls before putting down her spoon.
Olivia, on the other hand, had her appetite roused. Olivia had two bowls of soup, almost as if she was
making up for the food she hadn’t eaten the past few days.
Olivia’s face was no longer sad and dispirited. Instead, Olivia seemed full of vigor.
Blake was dumbfounded. After a long while, Blake said slowly, “Olivia, you…”
Olivia put down her spoon and suddenly smiled at Blake. Her smile felt like the breath of the first
spring, emerging out of a cold winter. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ve just had some clarity.”
For this period, Olivia had stayed in Layfield. On the one hand, she wanted to accompany Isaac. On
the other hand, she wanted to wait for Jarron.
Olivia wanted to wait for Jarron to come back and talk with him and Gillian to clear up all the
misunderstandings.
All along, Olivia had been upset about this. Olivia was filled with grievances, and she had sealed
herself away. This was also why she had not returned to Layfield for the past few years.
Gillian said that she hated Olivia, that Isaac was biased, and that Olivia was selfish and only cared
about herself.
The young Olivia had taken it to heart and felt wronged because she was misunderstood. In a fit of
anger, Olivia refused to return home and see
Gillian.
Olivia did not understand why Gillian had ignored everything that Olivia had done for her and instead
focused on vague and nonexistent matters.
To ensure Gillian had enough nourishment, Olivia pondered over medicinal cuisine and personally
tested the medicine, almost destroying her stomach. Gillian was blind to all these. Gillian only saw
Isaac helping Olivia with the medication preparation and suspected that Isaac had given Olivia the
Smith family’s prescription for Olivia to adapt to medical cuisine.
Olivia knew that Gillian liked playing the violin, but the violin teacher was unwilling to take her in as a
student. As such, Olivia taught Gillian

everything she learned every day. Every time Olivia had a new insight or learned something new, she
would share it with Gillian immediately. The funny thing was that Gillian could not see Olivia’s sincerity.
Instead, Gillian thought that Olivia was showing off.
There were too many things that turned into misunderstandings like that. The young Olivia felt that she
was really wronged and was so upset that she distanced herself in a fit of anger. However, Olivia
constantly hoped that Gillian would come to her senses and that Gillian would regret her actions and
feel guilty toward Olivia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia had always had this thought until today. She wanted to wait for Jarron to come back so that the
three of them could sit together and talk things out.
However, now, Olivia didn’t think it was important anymore.
In this world, the only person Olivia could control was herself. She couldn’t control what Gillian and
Jarron thought of her.
Olivia only needed to be herself and have a clear conscience. As for everything else, there was no
need to think more about it.
After thinking it through, Olivia started to have an appetite and began to enjoy food. Olivia even
pinched Andrew’s chubby little face playfully.
Andrew was not angry when his face was pinched. Instead, he leaned the other half of his face toward
Olivia and said softly, “Squeeze this side. This side is also very easy to pinch.”
Olivia was speechless.
Olivia felt like her heart was about to melt.
“How could there be such an adorable child in this world? I love him so so much!” Olivia thought.
After sorting out her emotions, Olivia no longer immersed herself in her feelings towards Isaac’s illness
or Gillian’s misunderstandings toward her. Now, Olivia had other things to take care of.
Olivia had finally returned, so she felt she should visit her teachers.
When Olivia was young, she learned many things. Olivia had gone for violin, painting, martial arts, and
chess lessons with a teacher. As for other skills like lettering, public speaking, modeling, and so on, she
had merely attended a few months of courses.
Olivia had been an attractive girl since she was young. She had studied. modeling and had even taken
some magazine advertisements.

Finley Hill, who had taught Olivia how to play chess, lived the closest. As such, Olivia decided to bring
Andrew along to visit Finley in the afternoon.
Gillian had always been paying attention to Olivia’s movements. When Gillian found out that Olivia was
going to her chess teacher’s house that afternoon, she stopped whatever she was doing and
immediately went home.
Gillian looked gentle, but she was actually very competitive. When Gillian was young, she had many
classes and did not have spare time. However, when Gillian saw Olivia learning chess, she wanted to
learn it
too.
Isaac did not allow it, saying Gillian was too greedy and was trying to bite off more than she could
chew. Isaac emphasized that it was better for Gillian to be a master of one thing instead of a jack of all
trades, so Isaac asked Gillian to focus on learning medicine from him.
Gillian did not say anything on the surface, but she was unhappy. Gillian knew that Isaac felt she was
stupid and not as clever as Olivia.
Olivia was younger than Gillian, but Olivia learned more and even had time to go out and play with her
friends.
However, although Gillian complained, she did not hold a grudge against Isaac. Instead, she felt a little
inferior. Gillian knew that it was because she was not smart that she could not learn chess.
After growing up, Gillian became a pediatrician and minored in child psychology. Only then did Gillian
realize there were not so many natural geniuses in this world. Many geniuses‘ intelligence was
developed after birth.
Elementary school was the golden period for the development of a child’s mental potential.
The Smith family had a long history that spanned hundreds of years. One of the many items they had
passed down over the years was a book called “Mind Of A King“. It was said that it was a collection of
the thoughts of many important people over the years and it could help develop children’s intelligence
and make them smarter.
Gillian was honest when she was young. She wasn’t too quick but was obedient. On the other hand,
Olivia was very active and naughty, so she always secretly climbed onto a stool to get this book that
was kept on the top shelf.

Olivia would then hide in the room and secretly read it.
After Isaac found out, he threatened Olivia with punishment and told her not to read it anymore. Isaac
told Olivia that the book was not meant for children.
Gillian had an honest personality, so after hearing that she would be punished, she did not dare to
enter Isaac’s study. Olivia was bold, so the more she was told she couldn’t read it, the more she
wanted to. Olivia even locked herself in the study, angering Isaac.
After a few times, Isaac gave in. Not only did Isaac not stop Olivia, but he also explained some of the
book’s concepts to her.
Whenever Gillian and Jarron were doing homework in the room or memorizing medical information,
Isaac would bring Olivia to the study alone and give her a special study session.
Since Olivia had learned from this book, her intelligence had developed well. Hence, Olivia became
even smarter. She learned everything quickly and understood everything almost immediately. Olivia
even had a photographic memory.
Gillian felt that Olivia could learn so many things because she had studied this book, “Mind Of A King“.
Thinking of this, Gillian felt jealousy gnaw away at her heart. Gillian hated Isaac for being biased and
she hated Olivia even more for being selfish.
If Gillian had also studied this book, she would definitely be smarter than Olivia. If so, Gillian would not

Gillian was always standing behind Olivia like a shadow, unable to surpass her.
For the past few days, Gillian had been thinking about the prescription and the Smith family’s
miraculous treatments. Things had been a little chaotic, so she had not thought about this at all.
It was only today when Gillian heard that Olivia was going to visit the chess teacher in the afternoon
that she remembered this book.
Although Gillian was grown up now and had already passed the golden age of developing her
intelligence potential, she could still train her mental, logical, and memory abilities.
Gillian could not control the excitement in her heart. She hurriedly ran home and went to Isaac’s study.
Gillian carried a ladder and climbed up
to get the old book, which already had yellowed pages.

Gillian carefully carried the book down as if she was holding some rare
treasure.
First, Gillian gently shook off the dust on it, then wiped it with a tissue. This book was just as Gillian
remembered. It had always been something that she could only dream of. Now that she was holding it
in her hand, Gillian had a strange feeling.
It was as if something she had dreamed of for many years was finally coming true.
The book wasn’t printed. It was handwritten and bound in parchment paper. The cover was brown and
very textured. On the cover were four large words.
“Mind Of A King“.
Gillian took a deep breath and opened it with a trembling hand. She gently flipped to the first page. It
was a piece of white paper with just two words, “Scribbled transcripts“.
It was indeed an ancient book with an ancient charm.
Gillian nodded and flipped to the second page. The second page was another piece of white paper.
Only the bottom right corner had three familiar words, “Olivia Taylor“.
Gillian’s eyelids twitched, her heart aching a little. It was such a precious book, but Olivia had written
her name on it. “Did she think it was her elementary school textbook?” Gillian thought.
Gillian turned to the third page.
The third page was completely different. It wasn’t a blank sheet of paper, but a tattered printed cover.
After carefully making out the handwriting, Gillian saw that it was written that this was a selection of
works from “Heart Of A Lion“.
“What’s going on?” Gillian wondered.
Gillian found it unbelievable and quickly flipped through a few pages. The back was filled with printed
texts. There were texts from “Regal Ages Record“, “Migration Ages Record“, “Divine Ages Record“,
“War Of Burning Plains“, and even “Battle Of Itegh“. Gillian realized this was indeed texts from “Heart
Of A Lion“.
Gillian was dumbfounded.
“How did ‘Mind Of A King, which was supposed to develop intelligence,
