Female Novel
Chapter 160
“Dad! Taylor!” Declan Pearson greeted the two elderly men.
“Declan, Olivia lives at Northpine Villa’s Villa No. 66. You should head over there. Maybe there’s still achance to change things around if you’re there to deal with the matter.”
Others might not know this, but Terrence knew very well that although Declan was Olivia’s uncle, heand Olivia were way closer than Oliva and her father!
When Olivia was still young, Terrence would either bring her a well-thought-out gift or bring her out for asumptuous meal whenever he returned from Capitalis. That was something the entire family knewabout.
At this moment, Declan seemed angry because his father had called to tell him about what hadhappened with Olivia yesterday. His father-in-law, Taylor Saunders, might seem like a kind man, but ifOlivia continued to stay out of the Pearson Family’s control, the other five families of the Six GreatestFamilies would definitely knock on their door and demand an explanation, including Taylor.
No matter whether they were in-laws or not, such a relationship was nothing when it came to familyinterests!novelbin
Moreover, his father had made it clear to him on the phone yesterday that the Hind, Yam, and XalmarFamilies had come to ask for an explanation, but the Pearson Family had yet to give them one. If hecouldn’t persuade Olivia to return home, the Pearson Family might face their toughest crisis yet—To bebesieged by the other five families!
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll do my best to get Olivia to come home. Don’t be nervous. I’ll head home to restand then go to look for her.”
After giving the others his promise, Declan left. He had rushed all the way home, so he needed to takea rest and prepare a nice gift for his niece. That way, their meeting wouldn’t be too awkward.
Now that he thought of it, he hadn’t seen Olivia for many years and wondered if she would still see himas a respected elder. Then, he couldn’t help but feel curious about Thomas. Who on earth is thisClifford guy? We Pearsons wouldn’t be in such a mess if he didn’t appear!
Seeing that Declan had left, Taylor spoke up. “Hey, Terrence, there’s something I have been keeping inmy mind for a long while, but I’m afraid it might hurt our family’s relationship if I say it aloud.”
“Taylor, what is there to be worried about? Don’t be shy and just say what’s on your mind!”
“The Pearson Family is in this situation because of your own doings!”
“What?” Terrence became slightly agitated. “Taylor, what do you mean to say?”
“Don’t you understand? Let me ask you this, how are Olivia’s management skills? Forget the future,and let’s focus on the period after she became Pearson Group’s president. How was herperformance?”
“She did well. I couldn’t compare myself to her.” Terrence was honest with his answer.
Taylor nodded. “Olivia is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime genius, and that is something the entire Irieson haswitnessed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be dubbed the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson! ThePearson Group’s profits are influenced by the past, so it’s impossible for Olivia to change anything.Even though I’m Yukine’s grandfather, I’ll put in a fair word and say Olivia is the most talented amongstall the youngsters in the Pearson Family.
“But what did you do? Have you ever shown her any consideration or taken care of her? I’m sure it’s ano. Since her mother’s passing, you guys have pretended to care for her before the public when, in
fact, you all see her as a money-gathering tool!”
He continued, “I know you guys dislike the Denver Family, and they do behave overbearingly, buthonestly, the Denvers had done nothing wrong to the Pearson Family, and they have been evenprotecting the Pearson Family for many years. Do you think it’s fair for Olivia to get such treatmentbecause her mother failed to bear a son for you Pearson Family?”
As the Pearsons’ in-law, Taylor knew all too well about what went on in the Pearson Family. Amongeveryone in that family, only Declan and Ophelie—not even Norma—truly cared about Olivia! No matterwhat, Olivia was a part of the Pearson Family. She had the Pearson Family blood flowing inside her,yet they treated her so unfairly. Those oblivious to the situation might think the Pearsons were very niceto Olivia, but only the Pearsons know the truth.
“I… That…” Terrence was so shocked by what Taylor said that he stammered but couldn’t say anythingin full. That was because what Taylor said was true, and Terrence had no way of refuting it.

“Terrence, ask yourself, have you ever considered yourself a grandfather when it comes to Olivia?Would she have been so determined to leave the Pearson Family if you guys hadn’t done something tohurt her? Yet now, you want her back after something happened. Mind me for being blunt, but even Ifeel embarrassed for you!”
Then, Taylor rose to his feet and said, “That is not how humans should behave, so I’ll leave you to thinkabout it.”
Once that was said, he left the villa.
Meanwhile, Terrence sat on the couch, entranced. Have I really gone too far? Have I? I didn’t caremuch about her, that’s it. Is that too much? It’s not like I refused to provide for her. I’ve given her thebest I can offer since she was young and even sent her to the best schools. But even an outsider likeTaylor couldn’t stand it, which means I have indeed gone too far, right? Wait! I have done nothingwrong. Isn’t this how prestigious families should be? What right does Taylor have to accuse me of notdoing well enough? Also, since Olivia has decided to leave the family that brought her up, it means thatshe has openly declared to sever ties with us Pearson Family! Doesn’t she feel guilty about that? Andnow she’s even dating that Thomas guy. She’s harming the family! How malevolent! All in all, it’s allOlivia’s fault. She’s an unloyal and ingrate child, so I have done nothing wrong.
If Olivia found out about her grandfather’s thoughts, she would certainly regret not leaving the PearsonFamily sooner because what was the point of having such a family? If Thomas hadn’t appeared, shewould have lived in such a heartless family until she became the sacrifice! How cruel was her family tosacrifice her and still want to gain every ounce of profit from her? She was lucky to have left thePearson Family!
Meanwhile, when Declan returned home, Yukine opened the door for him.
