Female Novel
Chapter 213
Leah thought for a bit. Quincy was right. Harrison was Olivia and Ophelie’s grandfather, so she shoulddiscuss the matter with him. She then said to Harrison, “Old Mr. Denver, or should I call you my in-law?We’re all family here, so I shall be straightforward about this. I don’t have to elaborate on the missionOlivia carries on her back, for you know it well. This concerns the traditions and rules of the SixGreatest Families. We can’t say much about this, but as soon as Olivia becomes the sacrifice, only oneending awaits her—death! However, I have a way to stop her from dying.”
Harrison’s eyebrows creased tightly. Could Leah have a way? She might have, but he had a feelingthat it wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
“Tell me about your idea.”
“Let Olivia and Ophelie go with me. I’ll take them back to Capitalis, and when we’re there, I’ll—”
“No way!”
Before Leah could finish speaking, Harrison interrupted her loudly.
What did he say? This old hag never came with good intentions, did she? He was right! He couldn’tbelieve that she wanted to take his darling granddaughters to Capitalis! In her dreams!
As for Leah’s idea to prevent Olivia’s death, Harrison ignored that completely. Did she think he was athree-year-old? Would he blindly believe her every word? It was a matter even the Six GreatestFamilies couldn’t solve, so how could a word from Leah change anything?
Moreover, now that Olivia had a capable man like Thomas protecting her, Leah’s worries wereunnecessary.
Leah remained calm. “Old Mr. Denver, please calm down and listen to me. Olivia became the sacrificebecause she was poisoned with frost poison when she was young, and her blood turned into
something special. With my connections in Capitalis, I can raise another girl who has frost bloodrunning through her veins in a short amount of time. She can just take Olivia’s place. It’s very simple.”
“Hmph!” Harrison snorted. “If you’re so capable, then go ahead and solve Olivia’s problem. Since youcan get someone to replace her, she doesn’t have to go to Capitalis.”
Leah explained patiently, “It’s not the same. Olivia has to go to Capitalis with me because I want tomatchmake her with someone. After all, people of that level are not to be trifled with. My power alonewon’t be enough to change Olivia’s fate.”
After learning that her son wasn’t in mortal danger just now, she told Quincy about this matter. Quincywas much younger than her, but his position was in no way lower than hers. The Hofstead Family andthe Pearson Family were on good terms with each other as well, so she found him an appropriateperson to ask for help. With Quincy’s supernatural position in Irieson, if he stood on her side, she couldmost probably take Olivia and her sister away.
However, Leah didn’t expect Quincy to toss the matter to Harrison.
Harrison glanced coldly at Leah. No matter what the reason, Leah just wanted to take Olivia and hersister away. Nonsense! Leah wasn’t even a proper mother, so how dare she meddle in hisgranddaughters’ business?! What nonsense was this? What right did she have to take Olivia and hersister away?
“Old Mr. Denver, I know you may be biased against me, but at a critical time like this, please calm downand think about it. It’s not that I’m looking down on the Denver Family. To be honest, be it the Pearsonsor the Denvers, we are simply powerless when it comes to solving Olivia’s problem.”
Leah’s expression was abnormally confident, for she believed that Harrison was a smart person. It wasalmost time for the sacrifice, so if she didn’t appear any sooner, only death awaited Olivia. However,
now that Leah was back, everything could be changed. She was confident enough to guarantee that aslong as Olivia obeyed her, she would make sure that Olivia survived.
“Hah! Leah, do you take me for a fool? Let me say this right now—as long as I’m alive, and as long asthe Denvers are still around, you can never take away Olivia and Ophelie!”
Arrange a marriage for Olivia, huh? In simpler terms, she just wanted to use Olivia as an asset toexchange for benefits. When she put it like that, however, she painted herself as a savior. Howpretentious!
Leah raised an eyebrow. “Old Mr. Denver, do you know who the fiancé I arranged for Olivia is? It won’thurt for you to listen until the end. He is crowned the Genius of Capitalis, and his background is asmysterious as they come. He’s the true chosen child who is loved by all. He learned martial arts whenhe was eight, and he became an expert at the age of ten. By the time he was 20, he was unrivaled inall of Capitalis. Now, he’s 25, and he’s the bona fide Genius of Capitalis! If Olivia marries a man asoutstanding as he, she won’t be at a disadvantage at all!”
“What? You… Are you seriously thinking of marrying Olivia off to him?!”
Both Quincy and Harrison exclaimed in surprise. They could hardly be blamed; after all, the man Leahspoke of was simply too famous!
He was a legendary person. Even though he was only 25 this year, they claimed that even the martialarts experts of the Six Greatest Families of Irieson were no match for him!
Even though Olivia was a beautiful woman, her background was far too different from that man’s. Evenif she married him, she could probably be no more than a concubine. Judging by Olivia’s personality,how could she willingly become someone’s concubine?
Also, what about Thomas? Could he possibly let Olivia leave just like that?
Harrison prioritized Olivia’s opinions, and he knew that his granddaughter had fallen in love withThomas. Compared to Thomas, what would it matter if that man was a genius in Capitalis or not? Oliviahad always been a stubborn child. If she put her mind to something, nothing in the world could stop her.She would never abandon Thomas to become a concubine for the Genius of Capitalis.
When Leah saw the shocked expressions on the men’s faces, she smiled in delight. That was theeffect she was waiting for. “What do you think? It’s a decent prospect, isn’t it? No matter what, I’mOlivia’s grandmother as well. I will never mistreat her.”
Many girls dreamed of getting married to that genius, and many families wished they could be involvedwith him. If Olivia got married to him, Harrison would also get a piece of the pie as Olivia’s grandfather.The Denvers might even rise in rank because of this! There was no way Harrison wouldn’t agree to thisunless there was something wrong with his head!
As for Thomas, who had been keeping watch by Olivia’s side, he was but a mere gnat. Leah hadn’tplanned on doing anything to him at first, but he beat up her sons and grandsons, so she couldn’t lethim off the hook. She would just kill him. After all, it wouldn’t take too much effort to kill a gnat.novelbin
However, the scene that took place next caught Leah by surprise.
“So what if he’s a genius? I still won’t agree to it. No, even Dr. Hofstead won’t agree to that, let aloneme!”
