“It’s not that serious. You’re still an elder. It’s disrespect to skin you. He wouldn’t dare.”
“But I feel that there’s really nothing he wouldn’t dare do in this world, only things he doesn’t want to do.”
This wasn’t him being exaggerating. In most of his life, Alan Hoyle was the most courageous person he had ever met. For a hundred years, he thought it would be difficult for someone of Jiangcheng and Luo City to surpass him or challenge him.
Of course Olive knew how outstanding her man was. It was just that she seemed to hear another person’s voice on the phone. It sounded vaguely like Susan. She wondered whether she was listening or she had been by the old man’s side.
“If you keep praising, someone won’t be able to get through the door later when he hears it. Uncle Norton, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
Norton wouldn’t drag on again, “Okay. I’ll ask Susan to show the project tomorrow so you guys can discuss whether the project is workable or not. If it is, you guys can proceed it.”
“Okay!” After hanging up the phone, Olive rotated her phone in her hand and was deep in thought. She made such a big move as soon as she started. Overseas investment? Why did she feel that there was something behind it?
Chloe waved her hand in front of her eyes a few times. Her state of dazed caught Mrs. Hoyle’s eyes. She saw through her inner struggle.
“Earth to Olive?!”
Olive patted away Chloe’s hand.
Olive asked, “What did the old man say to you? You’re distracted.”
Olive put her phone on the table. “Susan just started work today and she already made a plan for overseas investment for the old man. The old man was satisfied after seeing it, but I think it’s not that simple.”
“Overseas investment?” Chloe frown, repeating the words. “Why does it sound like a pretense to transfer the hotel’s assets? That fake knockoff good is turning impatient.”
What Chloe said was exactly what Olive was worried about. It took a lot of time to set up such trap. She didn’t want to harm life, but it was either for money or framing. In short, her purpose wouldn’t be that simple.
“Hasn’t the DNA test report come out? Just give it to the old man and instantly expose her.” Chloe was a straightforward person. Scheme that beating around the bush didn’t suit her.
Olive shook her head, “We can’t alert her at the moment. Susan can’t be playing such big game by herself. She must have an accomplice. And Susan may just be a pawn and the mastermind is behind her. No matter what, what we should do is to find her accomplice or the mastermind behind her. We catch all of them in one strike.”
“It’s inevitable to make enemies while doing business. But who holds grudges against the old man?”
“If I know, I can be a god already.”
“Poor old man and Auntie Lory. When the truth is revealed, they can’t be happy and were deceived. How disappointed and sad they would be?” Chloe sighed and couldn’t help but sympathized. “I’m really worried whether the old man can bear such blow.”
Olive was quiet.
After the short meeting, Chloe pulled her cheeks again and slightly distressed, “Say, where is the Geve’s real daughter?”
Far away at the sky, but not before their eyes. Mrs. Steele, who had been quiet for a while, stopped her work at this moment and suddenly said, “Olive, acknowledge them if you want to. You don’t have to worry about me and your dad. We’re not against it.”
