Chapter 362
“Why is First Elder looking for me?” Bettam asked nervously
She was terrified of him.
Bettany knew that with her family background. Alexander was out of her league. But she had been working hard. With a little more time, she would became a top painter.
She was born into a lower–middle–class family and had limited resources. Had she been raised by the Smith family like Olivia, she would be as outstanding as her, too,
Nonetheless, even if Bettany was not born with a silver spoon, she had never felt that she was, in any way. inferior to those wealthy, glamorous ladies.
The butler shook his head. Tm sorry, Miss Fulham. First Elder did not explam why he was looking for you.”
Bettany clenched her phone tightly and hesitated. She did not want to go over. “Where’s Alexander? When is Alexander coming back?”
“Mr. Alexander has an important meeting today. He wont be back until tonight.”
“At night” Bettany took a deep breath. She looked disappointed
First Elder was waiting in the living room downstairs Bettany tidied herself before the mirror and tried to look presentable before she finally dragged her feet downSTATES.
First Elder was drinking coffee on the sofa. When he looked up and saw Bettany, he smiled at her and said. “Sir.”
Bettany’s expression changed in an instant. She was surprised by First Elder’s pleasant attitude towards
Her.
“First Elder Bettany greeted him.
“Miss Fulham, did you see the news this morning” Fint Elder placed his coffee cup on the table looked up at Bettany. “You are aware of the cancer drug developed by Olivia and her team, right! Bettany hurriedly nodded. “I know. I know. I know everything
“I heard that you are on good terms with Olivia” First Elder asked again.
“Yes, we are alright. She’s my senior. Bettany said suspiciously
“That’s good.” First Elder nodded. “Bettany, with your background, I am sure you know if you are worthy of Mr. Alexander.”
Bettany’s face paled. She lowered her eyes and kept quiet.
First Elder continued, “With your kind of background, the Grant family will never accept you. Even if Mr. Alexander insists, it’s impossible to change their thinking. He does not make all the decisions in the Grant family.”
“However,” First Elder’s tone suddenly changed. “Nothing is for sure. As long as you are able to prove that you can be of assistance to Mr. Alexander, the Grant family might still accept you
Bettany got First Elder’s hint. She looked up determinedly. “What do you want me to do?”
“It’s very simple. First Elder fiddled with the emerald ring on his thumb. “Aren’t you on friendly terms with Olivia? Make use of that relationship and try to please her. As long as you can convince her to license the jatent of the cancer drug to the Grant family, I won’t stop you from entering the Grant family.”
“I have to grovel to Olivia?
Bettany appeared a little mortified.
She thought that getting together with Alexander would elevate her to the same level as Olivia. She did not expect that she would still have to grovel to her in the end.
There was a look of humiliation on Bettany’s face, and she could not speak for a long while,
First Elder glanced at her and said indifferently. “I thought you like Mr. Alexander a lot? Are you not even willing to do this for Mr. Alexander?”
No, I’m willing I’m willing Bettany hurriedly clarified.
“Alright their First Elder pointed at his phone. “Call Olivia now and get in touch with her”
Bettany squeezed her tigers. She swallowed her inalignity and dialed Olivia’s number on her phone.
“It is host this one time Once I get First Elder’s approval and marry into the Grant family, I can hold my head high and would no longer have to how down to her or please anyone.”
Bettany opened her address book in the phone and searched for Olivia’s contact, She dialed the number. “Hello, the mumber you have dialed is currently engage”
“The line is busy” Bettany looked up timidly and glance at First Elder.
First Elder frowned. “Call again”
Bettany tries to call Olivia a few moje times, but the line was always engaged.
