The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 68 You’re Useless

“Does that mean you still feel unworthy of Evelyn?”

Old Mr. Hayes retorted, a barely contained smile in his eyes, though his tone was quite serious.

Fortunately, Grayson Hayes was lost in his own thoughts and didn’t notice this exchange; otherwise, he would have recognized his grandfather’s scheme.

“Yes, Grandpa. People often say that love always feels like a debt owed. I used to find that phrase quite laughable, but now it makes perfect sense to me.”

“I came too late; I didn’t meet Evelyn in her prime.”

His voice was laced with regret.

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Hayes became even more intrigued by Evelyn, a girl he had yet to meet.

Thinking back to his old friend’s assessment, he was somewhat puzzled-was Evelyn truly as remarkable as suggested?

With that thought, he unconsciously glanced outside.

“If that’s the case, has Evelyn left? Call her in; I’d like to have a word with her.”

Grayson Hayes felt a rush of anxiety and immediately disagreed.

“Grandpa, she hasn’t accepted my pursuit yet; you might scare her off.”

Old Mr. Hayes studied his grandson critically, looking him up and down, then finally expressed his disdain.

“What a shame! You can’t win over a girl, even one who’s been married before. Meeting her in her prime? I’m afraid you have

little chance.”

“After eating all that, it seems you’ve only grown taller without growing any brains. When you go out, don’t mention that you’re my grandson; it’s embarrassing.”

Grayson Hayes: …

He stared at his grandfather, speechless but unyielding.

“You know, some people chased my grandmother for six whole years, and in the end, it was a one-sided crush; he didn’t have the courage to say a single word. If it weren’t for Grandma…”

As soon as he said this, Old Mr. Hayes started coughing violently and shot a fierce glare at his grandson.

“You little rascal, we’re talking about your affairs, not mine!”

Grayson Hayes narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone taking on a dangerous edge.

“If you dare go seek out Evelyn without telling me, don’t blame me for informing Grandma…”

“Alright, alright, threatening me at such a young age?” Old Mr. Hayes shot a glare at Grayson Hayes and waved his hand

dismissively. “Well, that’s Caleb’s treasured student. What objections could I possibly have?”

“This girl is quite capable, and I admire her. I just want to talk to her and see what kind of young woman can make my grandson care so deeply.”

Hearing his grandfather’s lack of objections regarding Evelyn, Grayson Hayes felt a wave of relief wash over him.

“She just left with Uncle Caleb, saying she had something to discuss with Evelyn.”

Old Mr. Hayes nodded.

“Oh, I see. That’s truly unfortunate; I guess I’ll have to wait for another time to meet her.”

It was clear that Grandpa harbored no objections to Evelyn and genuinely wanted to meet her, which made Grayson Hayes incredibly happy.

His grandfather was the most important family member to him, and he hoped to receive his blessing regarding his relationship with Evelyn.

“Grandpa, how are you feeling now?”

Old Mr. Hayes took a moment to assess himself and smiled.

“Pretty good. I feel like I could live another ten years. Come, Grayson, sit down and tell me, what is Evelyn really like?”

“That old man Caleb keeps babbling about her, and my ears are about to wear out.”

Mentioning Evelyn softened Grayson Hayes’s gaze as he sat beside his grandfather’s bed, reminiscing about how he met her.

Meanwhile, the mentor had just escorted Evelyn downstairs.,

Evelyn invited her teacher up for a cup of tea.

“Professor, my place is on the tenth floor. Would you like to come up and sit for a bit?”

The mentor pondered for a moment but ultimately shook her head.

“Let’s skip it today. You haven’t performed surgery in a while, and you look quite tired. I have a few things to discuss, so you should head up and rest.”

Evelyn rubbed her forehead; her vision was starting to blur, and the wave of drowsiness was becoming hard to resist.

In the end, she accepted her teacher’s kind intentions, deciding she could always invite her over another day.

“Professor, what else do you need from me?”

The mentor didn’t waste time and got straight to the point.

“Your treatment plan is excellent, and it’s already showing results in Old Mr. Hayes’s condition. Evelyn, I believe in you. You’ll surely be able to develop a comprehensive plan. I hope you won’t stop; keep working on the next phase of the treatment plan.”

“Old Mr. Hayes has already made an offer. If you can develop a complete treatment plan, he’ll give you a hundred million. All the research funds will be sponsored by him, so you can focus solely on your studies.”

“Of course, even if it’s not a complete plan, he’ll still give you thirty million for the next phase of research. That thirty million from this phase should hit your card soon; Grayson Hayes knows more about the specifics, so you should talk to him.”

Thinking of Grayson Hayes, Evelyn’s expression became somewhat complex.

But soon, she pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on the matter at hand.

She was genuinely astonished that such a high reward was being offered; it far exceeded her expectations.

“Professor, isn’t that a bit too much? It’s already beyond what I anticipated.”

The teacher merely chuckled and shook his head.

“Evelyn, this is what you deserve; you shouldn’t feel any burden.”

“Perhaps you’re not fully aware of the value of this research. Before you, Old Mr. Hayes has seen too many doctors.”

“I won’t go into his background, but let’s just say he’s somewhat special. If you want to know more, you can ask Grayson; the doctors he consulted before were all globally renowned.”
