The Divorcee and Her Three Chaotic Children (Olivia Clarke and William) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97
Chapter 97
Gianna had put her phone on speaker, so Mr. and Mrs. Clarke heard every word of Wayne. Feeling that there was hope for the Clarke Corporation to thrive, Dean instantly became kind.
As soon as Gianna hung up the phone, Dean came up to her.
“Oh, my dear daughter, you’re so capable! We’re counting on you this time!” Dean was overjoyed. When he got close to Gianna, Gianna was no longer the undignified bitch but had become his baby daughter again.
At this time, Gianna was very proud of herself and disdainful of her father’s hypocritical manner. If it weren’t for the fact that she hadn’t gained enough strength yet, she would never get involved with such a snobbish man as her father Dean.
After being flattered by Dean for a long time, Gianna finally said proudly, “Dad, as you can see, whether the Clarkes can rise or not depends on me. Mr. Lee will invest if I ask him to do so, but if I don’t…”
“How can you do that? You wicked girl, do you want to watch as the Clarke family is finished?” Hearing what Gianna had said, Dean immediately flew into a rage and interrupted her.
His angry words showed that he had just been faking a good temper.
At this juncture, if Gianna did refuse to let Wayne invest in the Clarke Corporation, Dean would most likely beat her to death.
Gianna had long understood that, and her heart had already turned cold.
Gianna didn’t want to argue with Dean. Instead, she continued, “If I don’t ask Wayne to invest, he won’t invest. This is the truth. So, Dad, if you do want his investment, I won’t help you for nothing.”
“What do you mean? Now that you’ve found a strong backer, you want to negotiate with me, don’t you?” Dean flared as he looked at Gianna’s smug expression.
However, in need of Gianna’s help, he didn’t dare to do anything to her at present, so he could only endure it.
“Yes, if you need my help, you’ll have to give me 15% of the Clarke Corporation’s shares. Otherwise, I’ll leave the Clarke family and live with Mr. Lee!” said Gianna.
“15% of the shares? Dream on! No way!” Dean was so angry that he jumped up. If Caroline hadn’t stopped him, he would have slapped Gianna in the face.
Gianna kept dodging in fear. The memory of being beaten haunted her, making her subconsciously protect herself.
“Dean, calm down. You can’t hit Gianna for no reason!”
“She’s so ungrateful. Why can’t I hit her? You’ve heard what she said. I’m not dead yet, and she’s already thinking about. encroaching on my property!” Dean pointed at Gianna as he continued, “You shameless bi tch! Our Clarke family is screwed up by you!”
Dean was so exasperated that he began to speak without thinking.
“Oh, if I were a bi tch, you didn’t have to ask me to help you get investment. Dad, since you don’t agree, let’s forget about the investment. Anyway, I can live a good life with Wayne. But I don’t know whether he will recognize you as his father-in-law!” Seeing Dean was stopped by Caroline, Gianna boldly defended herself.
These days, Gianna finally understood that whether her biological father or those men who only wanted to sleep with her, they could not always be good to her. If she wanted to ensure that she could support her life and would not be easily bullied, she had to have something on her..
Otherwise, she could never turn the tables.
Gianna was so firm that Dean was rendered speechless for a while.
He hated Gianna’s ungrateful behavior, but he didn’t want to lose Wayne’s support.
The one-month deadline was approaching. If the Valenfield Bay project failed to launch, the Clarke family would be done for.
“Dean, we can only rely on Gianna now. I think it’s okay to give her some shares. After all, she’s the key to drawing investment in our company!”
Caroline took the opportunity to persuade Dean when she saw him calm down.
Meanwhile, she winked at Gianna.
Gianna took the hint and softened her tone, “Dad, don’t blame me. I have to consider my situation. You’ve hit me so badly that I’m scared to be punished again. If I didn’t have some money on me, I couldn’t even afford to live when I was driven out by you one day. Please forgive me!”

Chapter 97
Dean’s rage dissipated a little when he heard Gianna’s words.
“I promise you, as long as you can get an investment of 15,000,000 dollars, I will give you 10% of the shares. If you can’t, I won’t give you a penny!” Dean bargained.
Gianna had known that Dean would not agree to her conditions willingly, but 10% of the shares were still a deal. Therefore, she agreed and pretended to be reluctant.
She happily went upstairs to dress herself up, ready to go out.
Dean was still planning to go back on his word after the investment was transferred to the account of the Clarkes. However, he didn’t expect that Gianna would directly bring an equity transfer agreement to him and stared at him signing it.
Dean felt humiliated and distressed when he signed the agreement, but he had no choice.
“Thank you, Dad. I’ll definitely help our family get the investment!” Gianna put away the contract and then walked out of the house in her high heels joyfully.
Just as Gianna had left, Dean angrily smashed the teacup in his hand into pieces.
“Bit ch!”
Olivia had a long but surprisingly sound sleep. There was neither nightmare nor painful memory, and she even had a sweet dream of her happy family of three together.”
In truth, she was a little reluctant when she woke up.
However, she opened her eyes and saw the man’s face in her dream was right in front of her.
For a moment, Olivia felt like she was still dreaming.
“Are you awake? Do you feel better?” There was more than a hint of tenderness in the man’s bewitching voice. He peered at Olivia with his gentle eyes.
“William?
“What are you doing on my bed?”
Olivia suddenly realized that she was not dreaming, so she instantly sat up in shock.
“Is this ba stard trying to sleep with me?
“How dare he!” thought Olivia.
“I’m sorry. Luci and I were sitting by your bed to attend to you, but then we fell asleep on the bed accidentally.” William gently apologized as he quickly got up with an embarra**ed face.
He looked so shy that those who didn’t know him would think he did have slept on Olivia’s bed by accident.
But Olivia didn’t believe it.
She pondered, “Wait, did he say he and Luci?
“Luci is also here?”
Olivia came to her senses and found the little Ezra lying in her arms.
Ezra seemed to have felt Olivia had woken up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. “Oh, madam, you’re awake. How do
now?”
“Luci, don’t worry. I’m fine…” Olivia gently stroked Ezra’s hair.
She thought in panic, “Oh, so it’s true that he just wanted to attend to me with our little boy when I was ill. I’ve misunderstood him. That’s so embarra**ing!”
Olivia was so ashamed that she wanted to sink through the floor!
