Chapter 529

The corners of Sebastian Thompson’s mouth curled up slightly, a mischievous intent spreading. “Sis, I promise to do my utmost to help you. Don’t worry, you and Matthew Marshall will be back in Serene City soon.”

It was a good thing she had a younger brother. Bella Thompson was warmed by his support. “I definitely won’t fall like I did before when I make a comeback. I want to become unreachable for everyone.”

“Sis, I believe you can do it.”

“Sebastian, I’m going to hang up now so I can wash my face and get a fresh start. Even though I’ve been abandoned, I won’t surrender. I have to lead an exquisite life.”

Sensing such determination in his sister thrilled Sebastian Thompson, making him somewhat happy.

In the recent period, Sebastian Thompson truly found the perfect plan.

He’d been figuring out plans for his sister to return to the Marshall Family, even though he never talked to her about it. The Thompson Family wouldn’t collapse this way.

Matthew Marshall must and could only become the heir to the Marshall Family.

…

When Olivia Jenkins and Daniel Marshall left Harmony Village, the villagers gave them a lot of items.

Once back in Serene City, Olivia and Daniel went to Shallow Bay to have lunch with their grandmother, bringing some of the villagers’ gifts.

In the evening, they were back at Beverly Hills for dinner with grandpa, bringing many more gifts there as well.

The old man carefully observed Daniel and Olivia, a faint smile on his lips. “It’s good that you’re back. You’ve lost some weight but you’ve learned a lot. That’s a good thing! It’s getting cold, you must take care of yourselves, don’t catch cold.”

Olivia’s clear and bright eyes crinkled with joy, “Grandpa, we know how to take care of ourselves. We’re quite busy. Since we aren’t with you, you should take much better care of yourself. It’s been raining quite a bit in Serene City recently; if you go out, be careful not to slip!”

The elderly man’s smile deepened, making him appear even more kind and pleasant, “I am sure you haven’t had seafood in a long time. I prepared a lavish seafood feast for you, including abalone and steamed chicken. I’ve also prepared a hotpot; we’ll serve the red grouper slices.”

Olivia responded sweetly, “Thank you, grandpa, you’re so good to us!”

“Little smart-mouth, you cheer me up!”

Laughter filled the living room, only to be quieted when Michael Marshall walked in with a stony face.

All at once, both Olivia and Daniel greeted him with “Dad!”

Michael Marshall reacted coldly, only asking Daniel to join him in his study.

Only after watching Daniel disappear up the stairs did Olivia move her gaze.

The smile on Olivia’s face faded, worry creasing her brow, “Grandpa, did we make a blunder?”

The old man soothed her gently, “No, don’t mind your father-in-law. He always behaves like this, disgruntled at everyone. Are you worried for Daniel? That he might be reprimanded?”

Olivia gently bit her lip, bright eyes cast down slightly. “He only went to Harmony Village because of me.”

“I don’t see a problem. Daniel did the right thing. Yes, he went to Harmony Village, but because of that a charity project took off. It’s not only increasing the favorable opinions about the Marshall Corporation, but it’s also put us into the limelight immediately, which is great!”

Olivia Jenkins blinked playfully, hesitated a bit, then spoke, “Grandpa, I was bossing Daniel around as if he were an errand boy, recording behind-the-scenes footage to air on a charity TV show. It starts broadcasting Friday next week.”

The old man laughed heartily, “That’s just playful banter between you two as husband and wife. Who are we to interfere? If Daniel doesn’t mind it, everyone else should mind their own business. You’re associated with charity work, which is commendable.

You haven’t let me down. You said you’d be serious about your career and you did it vibrantly; your efforts have gradually built the investors’ trust in the Jenkins Group. This is all thanks to you.”

Olivia looked amazed, “Grandpa, you’re not mad at me?”
