The elder scowled in displeasure, his face ever so slightly changing. “Young lady, your answer disappoints me.”
A barely visible ripple passed through Olivia Jenkins’ almond-shaped eyes, yet her beautiful face remained emotionless. “Would you believe me, grandfather?”
“If I didn’t believe you, would you be sitting in Joyful Hall?”
“It’s my mistake. Don’t blame Daniel, let me bear the punishment.”
“Do you not even express whether you like, dislike, or simply nod or shake your head?”
“Why ask such a question, grandpa? When the marriage union was arranged, you never asked if I liked Daniel or if I wished to marry him. What’s the significance of asking such questions now?”
Taking a sip of tea, the elder fixed his sharp gaze on Olivia without missing any subtle reactions. “Previously, I know you didn’t like Daniel. But what about now? Surely you’re not so cowardly that you can’t even answer? Are you afraid of losing, young lady?”
Without hesitation, Olivia responded, “Grandfather likes to go all out, you fear losing too, don’t you?”
“You’re right. I fear losing. I can’t bear to see the Marshall family falter under my hand. I can’t bear to watch others plot against the Marshalls. You’re intelligent, but sometimes too smart for your own good. Surely you know this principle?”
“The key point is that you’re wary of me, isn’t it? You’re worried that I’m coveting the Marshall family’s assets!”
The elder nodded, “That’s part of it. After all these words, aren’t you still unsure, young lady? Do you even know whether you love Daniel?” Olivia gently bit her lower lip and lowered her head in silence.
The old man sighed.
Olivia’s gaze was complex. “I have no desire for the assets of the Marshall family, and I don’t covet Daniel’s power or money. The money Daniel contributed to Jenkins Group, I have transferred an equivalent share of 10% stocks to him. The copyright to Cool Company’s film library was purchased by me for 12 billion, in installments. Accordingly, I owe nothing to the Marshall family and haven’t taken anything that doesn’t belong to me.” The elder said no more and handed the childbirth agreement to Olivia.
“Just sign this, and once you give birth to Daniel’s child, not only will you receive a substantial reward, but from then on, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore. Daniel will be the sole heir.” 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪
Upon reading the childbirth agreement, Olivia stared at her grandfather in disbelief.
“We agreed last time that I would consider having a child two years from now. Grandfather, you’re clearly forcing me!”
“If you’re unwilling to bear a child for Daniel under such conditions, it proves that you don’t love him at all. Once Jenkins Group is back on track and perhaps even goes public, you plan on divorcing Daniel. Olivia, oh Olivia, do you really think that I am unaware that you’re merely using Daniel as a stepping stone? With all your meticulous calculations, are you fair to Daniel’s devotion? I won’t pursue the matter of your publicly announcing your marriage. However, I must consider Daniel’s interests.”
Suppressing her displeasure, Olivia retorted, “Grandfather, have you ever asked Daniel whether he wants to have a child? How well do you know your own grandson?”
The elder was a little angry now and coldly retorted, “Daniel’s been nitpicking and now you want to follow suit? I always thought you were smart. How disappointing. If you love Daniel, stick by his side; if you want to protect Jenkins Group, you must bear a child next year. With a child, you can shut up all those who belittle you and quell all the prejudice against you. How would you know it wouldn’t work if you don’t even try? Don’t give me any other excuses. Unless you don’t have a heart, unless you don’t love Daniel at all, then you would refuse to bear his child so adamantly..”
