CHAPTER 502: FOR A BIGGER CATCH

Although Olive had known Norton for a long time, it was the first time for her to visit the Geve’s residence.

She used to meet the old man at either in the office or in the hospital. This place was strange and special to her.

The house stood on the east side of the city surrounded by Osmanthus trees with branches and lush leaves. This road was called Osmanthus Road. Every year in August, the fragrance of the Osmanthus flowers stretched for several miles. It was long-lasting and often attracted tourists to linger.

Although the street lights at night weren’t bright, she could still see that the house had been a few years and it felt out of place with the surrounding new buildings.

Olive tried to keep herself calm and walked into house that was both near and far away.

The Geve was shocked when they saw their daughter swayed in her walk and leaned against the door. “What’s wrong?”

Alan handed Susan who leaned heavily against him to the servant. He got rid of her, but he still calmly said, “It’s nothing. Some of us gathered around and she drank more because she’s happy.”

Had it not been for fear this woman’s weight would crush his wife’s small body, he wouldn’t bother to help this woman. With his temperament, it would be considered polite of him if he just threw her directly to the street.

Although Dave coaxed this woman to drink a few more glasses, seeing her drunk and messed up, he couldn’t dispel his doubts. In his intuition, this woman might have some drunker reaction, but she shouldn’t be so drunk that she couldn’t wake up.

She pretended to be someone else, so she naturally could pretend to be drunk. As for the purpose, maybe she took precautions so that she wouldn’t speak out and she would inquire something from it.

It wasn’t impossible.

It was said that you might not have bad thoughts of hurting others, but you had to be on guard and be wary of others. Not to mention, this woman wasn’t honest. Even if his girl didn’t want the position, he couldn’t let other woman be impudent.

As he wouldn’t expose for the time being, he would let it be to have a bigger catch later. Besides, her wife had the meaning to catch her too, as a husband, there was no reason not to cooperate.

As far as Alan could think, Olive naturally was also on guard, but to avoid alerting Susan, she pretended to be stupid. She said to the two elders of the Geve, “Don’ worry. I guarantee you she’ll skip and jump about tomorrow. She’s fine.”

When Lory heard this, the strain in her heart fell down and her tight expression loosened up. Because of their debt, both parents naturally treasured the daughter who finally returned home.

“Mrs. Wu, take Susan back to her room. Olive, Alan, come in. I’ll make you tea.”

Alan said, “It’s okay. It’s late now, you guys should rest earlier. We’ll leave first.”

Olive didn’t plan to stay longer, so she had no comment.

Norton said in a little displeased, “I thought to let you guys stay for the night, but you slip faster than loach. Alan, even if time is precious, you don’t need to be this anxious.”

Olive was speechless. What were they talking about? What an annoying old man.

Alan’s expression didn’t change. He smiled and even teased himself, “It’s not like you’ve never been young, old man. Since you know that I’m anxious, be kind and don’t bother us.”

Olive punched him.

Norton laughed happily, “Oh? Olive can get shy too, huh? Your face is all red. This is rare.”

Olive sighed innocently, “My face isn’t red. I was shot. I can even get injured by a stray bullet while just standing aside.”

Norton pursed his lips like a child, “Enough. Don’t stray too far from the topic. Just one word, stay or not? If you stay, accompany this old man for breakfast tomorrow morning.”

Alan laughed, “Old man, you have people accompanying you for breakfast, so we won’t spoil the fun.”

Norton’s face suddenly fell, “What do you mean spoil the fun? The way I see it, you’re afraid of us disturbing your fun. Hmph. Don’t think I don’t understand you youngsters, full of cunning.”

Alan pulled Olive into his arms, provoking Norton with a glance, then looked at Olive affectionately, “Am I, honey?”

“If you dare to, I’m going to cut you.” Olive made a snip gesture.

At this moment, Norton was amused and beamed with joy, “Girl, you have to be cruel with this kid Alan. If you can’t beat him, don’t worry, I’ll help you press him and you can skin him. No matter what, we’re also half your family. If not you, who else?”

Alan glanced at him. “Is there a family who wishes for both husband and wife not in harmony? I think it’s you who have bad intentions. Come on. It’s very late and I’m sleepy. Patient like you should be in bed already. Do you want to lie back on the hospital bed on your anniversary?”

Norton didn’t like listening to these words and immediately scolded, “You have such a nasty mouth. Fine. If you don’t want to stay, get out.”

It wasn’t that he was afraid of death, but there were still a lot of things for him to be worried about. He still wouldn’t leave his wife and so was his daughter who had just returned.

But Alan had been waiting for these words. He pulled his wife and waved at him, “Then bye bye, good night.”

After Lory sent them out from The Geve’s door, Norton just realized that he had fallen into Alan’s hole again. He grumbled, “He ran faster than a rabbit.”

Lory looked at her increasingly childish husband and chuckled, “You’ve troubled them enough and you have to say a lot things every time you meet. Is there anyone like you? If it’s me, I would have ignored you already.”

“You’re my wife. How can you ignore me?”

In the house, the old man continued with his chatter and was full of energy, while after the car outside came out from the Osmanthus Road, Olive took out a folded tissue from her bag and handed it to Alan.

Alan asked, “What is this?”

“Susan’s hair.”

At the bar, she skillfully stole a few strands of hair from Susan’s head, then found an excuse to wrap it up in the bathroom.

Blood ties were something that couldn’t be changed. If you deceived it, the truth would reveal one day.

Only Olive didn’t expect that the Geve’s wedding anniversary would be so grand. Not only had they invited several famous figures in Luo City, but also several media companies.

Actually, it wasn’t difficult to understand. The old man just wanted to take this opportunity to announce to the outside world the news of the return of Norton’ Geve’ daughter, so that Susan would have the right to inherit the Geve’s properties.

“Olive, girl, you’re here.” Norton looked very energetic tonight, as if his sickness was thousands of miles away. She could hear her laugh from miles away. Seeing his wrinkles of smile lines, others were easily infected.

Olive handed him a present and Norton accepted it beamingly with joy, but he snorted towards Alan as a sign of greeting.

The older he got, the more childish he was. The old man remembered Alan’s trick that night.

Alan ignored him, smiled and congratulated him. At the end, he didn’t forget to add, “Old man, spirit up during this happy event. Your complexion looks good today, stay that way.”

Norton patted his chest and said, “Of course. Even if I can’t live until a hundred, I’ll live until ninety- nine.”

Alan raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Why are you suddenly so confident?”

“Of course. It’s a beautiful day. If I die too early, I’m too kind. I’m telling you, be prepared to be harassed by me for a long time,” Norton said with a sullen tone, but his face kept smiling.

“Welcome.” This was also his future father-in-law. Alan wouldn’t dare to neglect him.

A man who truly loved a woman would naturally love everything about her.

Alan could see that his wife was very concerned about this old man, but she was still conflicting between acknowledging him or not. He wouldn’t interfere with her decision, but he believed that she would think through one day.

“There are a lot of guests today, so enjoy yourselves. I’ll entertain other guests first.” Several groups of people came in and Norton waved at them.

Alan was also soon surrounded by people. Wherever he went, he was hotly chased. No matter how low-profile he kept, he couldn’t hide his brilliance.

Olive noticed that there was no shadow of Susan in the hall. She thought that Auntie Lory had to be at upstairs with her preparing for a grand and stunning appearance, because the arrangement of the spiral staircase was like a garden corridor. She just didn’t know that a vixen’s tail had come out and its face painted with smile.

Ellison Geve was like a reborn. He became much more humble when talking with people.

He saw her, came over with a wine and handed her one. “Thank you for that matter.” holds © this.

Olive faintly smiled, “You’re welcome. The old man may not don’t know that I’ve given you a hundred thousand. The reason why I closed an eye is because you’re the son he raises. You aren’t blood related but still a family, otherwise he won’t insist on paying you the treatment fee. I hope you remember your promise that day and don’t disappoint the old two people again.”

What Ellison referred to was that a few days before Olive went to Jiangcheng, she accidentally met him on the street. Without the protection of the Geve, it was difficult to get a job. No company dared to hire an addict. Even though he had been clearly stated that he had successfully given up drug addiction, no one would believe him.

Having lost the capital to spend freely, those friends who once crossed their hearts and said that brothers and sisters would help each other when they were in trouble hid as far as possible.

Losing the value to use him, he was kicked out of the circle. When he was penniless, he asked them to lend money. It was amiable enough not to scoff at him, but one by one said his assets were frozen and said he still owed a lot of people.

They turned their faces faster than turning pages. It was clear that they flattered those with power, but ignored when the power was lost.
