Olivia Jenkins played her role convincingly, pulling Alexander Marshall back into his mories.
Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth lifted into a faint smile, tears shimring in his eyes.
“You really are vexing, you know!”
“Grandpa, is your neck feeling better? Did you sleep well?”
Alexander Marshall sighed faintly, closing his eyes.
While he responded cynically, his anger waned; the strength in the girl’s hands had managed to ease the tension in his neck and shoulders.
But, Alexander Marshall wouldn’t readily admit that he saw her in a new light; he still couldn’t find it in himself to forgive her.
“It was your side that exploited a loophole in the agreent, so don’t get too smug!”
Olivia’s beautiful face shone with confidence and pride, “In this world, the victors rule and the vanquished serve! Grandfather, you should respect Daniel. He is the fruit of your nurturing, successfully surpassing the generation before him, and that is your achievent. In truth, you’re still a winner.”
When this little wretch wasn’t annoying him, her sweet words were unbearably persuasive. Alexander Marshall tried to maintain a stern face, but he failed and found himself laughing unconsciously.
“You really don’t plan to extend the Marshall family line, do you? Your high spirit and pride will get you nowhere. Whatever small sches you have in mind, I’d suggest you pack them up. Sotis, no matter how sweetly you dress up your words, they an nothing in the face of reality.”
Daniel had no desire for a child and Olivia didn’t plan to consider Daniel’s ideals until a few years later; but now she recognized the challenges the pair was facing…
Olivia fell silent, and Alexander Marshall turned to look at her.
Suddenly, Alexander Marshall’s expression hardened again, sternly advising, “Consider the matter carefully. The Marshall Family is vast and powerful, they won’t indulge your recklessness.”.
Standing at the crossroads of personal and comrcial interests, Olivia, not wanting to upset her grandfather, appeased him by saying, “Grandpa, next year, Daniel and I will start planning our future. Likely, Jenkins Group will have stabilized by then, and I will be in the right mood for childbirth. Only then, when I am not rushing around, will it be suitable to have a child.”
“So, you will have a child?”
Who could predict the future?
At any rate, she would appease her grandfather now and ponder the matter later.
Olivia reassured once more, ‘Yes, at least two!”
Alexander Marshall looked thoughtful, sighing faintly, but the tension finally began to ease from his face.
“You must respect the rules of the Marshall Family while you live here. If you dare betray us, bring dishonor, or insult our na, I promise I won’t let you off the hook.”
“Grandfather, I understand.”
Alexander Marshall slowly closed his eyes, not speaking anymore, and simply enjoying the massage Olivia was giving him.
The girl had skillful hands; his neck didn’t hurt as much, and his whole body began to relax.
All the servants and bodyguards present who had expected to see their young mistress scolded, were instead shocked to see her appease the old master. They all heard that the young mistress was willing to have a child, and instantly, they no longer dared to underestimate her.
Bella Thompson, who was eavesdropping at the stairs to the second floor, felt a surge of rage in her heart when she heard Olivia promise to have at least two children.
Rushing back into her room, Bella Thompson sent orders to her informants.
Back in her room, Bella Thompson didn’t hide her anger and jealousy.
She absolutely detested the Marshall family, especially the old master, and wished for nothing more than to get rid of Olivia, that vile woman.
Daniel gave Olivia Jenkins 2 billion yuan without thinking much of it, not seeking any retribution at all. Yet, he was conspiring to bankrupt Thompson Family’s Yonder Group. Bella Thompson despised the old master’s favoritism.
As Olivia was preparing to leave Beverly Hills, she happened to catch sight of so items in the hands of a few servants.
Even covered in dust, Olivia recognized them at once – they were baby items, and toys….
