Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 1450

Olivia didn't beat about the bush. "Grandpa, what are you going to do with Aunt Molly and Yale?"

Mason gave her a fleeting glance. "Did you come as the middleman?"

"I'm a woman, and I've gone through a lot. Yale has indeed been involved in many awful deeds, but he did all those for Aunt Molly. Her body is weak to begin with. If they break up, I'm afraid…"

Grabbing a paintbrush, Mason continued painting. "Do you know what I told the two men that night?"

"I can't read your mind."

"I have two conditions for Yale. First, it's to cut ties with the Kingston family."

"He has fulfilled that."

A meaningful smile appeared across his lips. "How naive. To cut ties for real is easier said than done. Other than the blood running in their veins, it takes many other factors into account. Even if he wants to leave them for good, they won't grant his wish."

"What's the second condition, then?" If the first was that difficult, the second one should be definitely on another level.

"Molly can marry him only if he gives her the Kingstons' fortune."

Olivia's eyes widened.

Businessmen were nowhere near the politicians when it came to playing dirty games.

If Mason wasn't her grandfather, she would've burst into a string of curses.

"Are you criticizing me inwardly?"

Olivia flashed a smile. "Not at all."

"It's not weird to criticize me for that. I might appear cruel to you guys, but Olivia, the political world is scarier than you imagine. As long as the Kingstons aren't eliminated, I won't be able to have a good night's sleep.

"And Yale is the best candidate to do the job. Only he can root them out. I have faith in him."

"Did he give his word?"
