Louis smiles upon hearing the words.
He looks around the garden and asks Olivia, "Auntie, do you like this house?"
"Of course, it was built centuries ago," Olivia's dissatisfaction flashes across her eyes.
It belongs to Louis now, which makes her discontented.
"If you like it, you can have it," Louis serves tea for her and continues, "You can acquire a 70% stake in the company as well."
Does Louis get all the stake of his foster father?
Olivia smiles, hiding her emotions, "What are you doing? You got that from my brother. How can I take that?"
"I hope you to let Lily go."
Olivia asks, "What do you mean?"
"Both of us know what you've done," Louis continues, "Let's make a deal."
Hearing his words, Olivia turns to him, "You are not impulsive. Why do you help her? Do you indeed like her?"
"I used to be rational before I met her," Louis sighs, "I want to compensate her for the baby she lost."
David steps forward with a document.
Louis hands it to Olivia and says in a low voice, "Auntie, we are family, please help me."
"Apart from the house and the stake, I'll give you another billion yuan. As long as you agree, I'm going to resign."
Olivia begins to read the document.
Olivia is satisfied with it. Besides what he has mentioned, several other items are on it as well.
"Since you put it that way, I won't let you down," Olivia put down the document and smiles, "However, your uncle has been dissatisfied with you due to Ellison."
Louis replies, "Ellison deserves it. Uncle Richard doesn't have any stake now. Won't you stop cooperating with him?"
"I say that to remind you of him," Olivia stands up, "Alright, I'm happy talking with you. As for Miss Lily, I'll help her."
Louis nodded, "I appreciate it."
After sending Olivia away, David returns soon and seems to be nervous.
David asks, "Mr. Smith, isn't this too risky?"
"He who wants to catch fish must not mind getting wet," Louis says while drinking tea. He put it down after taking a sip, as it tastes not as good as what Lily cooks.
David is worried, "What about Miss Lily?"
"She is safe under protection," Louis sneers, "I wants to relax Olivia's vigilance."
Louis is furious at Olivia's ambition, who tries to hurt Lily and replace him.
Louis will wait and see how much capacity she has.
...
Different from her experience on the day one, Lily stays in a small room alone and is being treated kindly later.
There is no coercion as well.
Not long after, it begins to thunder and rain. Because of it, the bus begins to decelerate.
Lily is anxious as she looks at her phone.
For the Smith Group, a company is in a vulnerable position, Olivia's news becomes a headline. Multiple journalists have surrounded the company.
They know there will be a news conference after the board meeting.
The bus stops due to the heavy rain and traffic jam.
"I'm gonna get off," Lily shouts to the driver before arriving the Smith Group. Despite the rain, she runs to the company.
She is puzzled.
Why does Louis yield to Olivia?
Lily is soaked as she arrives at the Smith Group. She stands across the street, seeing what happens in the company through a screen on the building.
When the meeting room opens, many people in suits step out.
Among them, Olivia wears a purple dress, looking elegant. Lily can tell she is happy. Besides her, Louis sits on a wheelchair and is expressionless.
"Olivia, it is reported that you are the major shareholder of the Smith Group now, is that true?" several journalists, who serve for the company, step forward and ask.
Olivia smiles and nods, "Yes. My nephew Louis is tired. I want him to have a good rest and I will help him in the future."
"Given the Smith Group's current situation, what are you going to do?"
"I'll offer everyone a satisfactory explanation."
