Olive sneered in her heart, as Susan already had some doubts about her, so how could Susan trust her? But Olive hasn't changed her face at all. "Susan, I'm only doing this to protect Angel Holiday Hotel from being used by malicious people."
This time, the implication of her words made Susan look a little pale. "Sister Olive, do you think I'm up to something against Angel Holiday Hotel? If you don't want to give up power, you can tell me directly, while you don't have to play jokes on me so deliberately."
They talked so loudly that Norton, who has just arrived at the door, heard Susan's last words very clearly.
"Susan, why do you say that?"
"Dad, Olive just insulted me, as she said I wanted to do something bad to Angel Holiday Hotel." When Susan met Mr. Gove, she pretended to be wronged.
Olive was speechless, looking at the ceiling. Was Susan starting to make mischief?
"How can that be? There must have been a misunderstanding in your communication." Norton was busy being a peacemaker, while he could not understand how the two of them could quarrel in the blink of an ey tell me why she didn't approve of my investment." Susan said to him in a tone of discontent.
"I don't want to say it again. Uncle Geve, if you trust me, you'll leave the decision of this matter to me." What Olive said sounded forced.
Norton frowned, as he heard something unusual. "Olive, I believe in you so much, otherwise I wouldn't dare give you full control of Angel Holiday Hotel without a consultant, so what do you think?"
Susan looked hurt. "So you don't believe me, Dad?"
"How can you say that?" Norton said to Susan, slightly reproachfully, and then he reassured her. "I know you want to make a difference as soon as you take the job, and you mean it, but Olive is also thinking about the future of Angel Holiday Hotel. In fact, the hotel went from loss to profit only after Olive took over, so she knows more about how to run Angel Holiday Hotel than you or even me."
Susan took in every word he said, and it was obvious what he meant, as Olive's decision was his decision.
Back at the Geve Family, Susan threw her bag on the couch and sat down to the side slowly.
Lory noticed Susan's problem, so she asked Susan with concern. "What's the matter? Something's wrong with your work?"
"No, I'm just tired." Susan forced a smile.
Norton walked in behind her, chuckling as he perched on his carefully polished dragon head walking stick. "Oh, she's angry with me."
"Dad, I wasn't." Susan quickly replied. If she's showing too much emotion, that's not a good thing. Mr. Geve's trust in Olive was harder to break than she thought.
"You weren't? You got out of the car and then you came in first without waiting for me, and you said you weren't angry with me? You just look angry." Norton grinned as he sat down beside her, took one of her hands, and put it on his lap. "Susan, do you think I'm not on your side on this?"
