Mrs. Powell's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. "Oh, if I hadn't seen you bringing prosperity to the Powell Family, I wouldn't have the face to meet your grandfather down below."
With that, the old lady pulled the silent, head-down woman to sit on the sofa.
Olivia followed suit with a sarcastic smile. "Well, you can happily close your eyes now. Because by Max's side, there's someone who cares about him, and that's me!"
Saying that, Olivia was about to reach out and hold Max's hand.
A cold gaze shot from Max's eyes, causing Olivia to stop abruptly.
Olivia knew that when Max wasn't pleased, you couldn't go against him, or it would backfire.
Seeing this, Mrs. Powell smiled and said, "Olivia, don't try to please me. You're young, and you have plenty of time to enjoy yourself. You're not suitable for marriage."
What a joke!
She had always wanted to seize Max's power, so naturally, she couldn't let him marry the daughter of the Riley family.
If they joined forces, would her son still have a say?
Hearing Mrs. Powell's words, Olivia pouted. "Who said being young means not suitable for marriage? As long as Max agrees, I'll marry him immediately!"
Mrs. Powell smiled and looked at the woman beside her, who had no presence at all, and she held her hand to comfort her.
"Don't pay too much attention to this girl's words. She has been infatuated for years, but she hasn't made any progress. My grandson has been rejecting her all this time!"
The woman forced a smile. She didn't respond and didn't dare to lift her head to speak to Max.
Max's gaze fell coldly on her dark head. "Who are you, the daughter of which family?"
The woman lifted her head and her lips slightly parted, but before she could say a word, she heard Max say, "Are you courting death?"
The woman trembled in fear.
"Have you not heard that most women who were supposed to marry me met an unfortunate end?"
"Have you not heard that I am ruthless and have killed several women in bed?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
With a thud, the woman knelt down.
"Please spare me, Max! It was... it was my family who forced me to come. Our family business was going bankrupt... They forced me to come."
As she spoke, the woman kept kowtowing.
Mrs. Powell's face darkened at the sight, and she silently cursed, "What a useless thing!"
Meanwhile, Olivia provocatively looked at Mrs. Powell. "Oh, the one you brought along doesn't stand a chance, Grandma!"
Mrs. Powell's face turned completely black at the comment. She caught a glimpse of Curtis being slowly pushed forward by a woman, and her old eyes suddenly widened with astonishment. Then, a hint of realization flashed across her face.
Curtis nodded lightly towards Mrs. Powell. "Grandma, have you been keeping well lately?"
He had a handsome and gentle appearance, with gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. When he said to someone, there was a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth, giving off an impression of sophistication and refinement.
But Mrs. Powell didn't see it that way.
She knew deep down that Curtis was a smiling tiger through and through.
Asking her if she was in good health was a reminder that she was getting old and might pass away one day!
Mrs. Powell was annoyed, but she still put on a kind face and said, "Thanks to Mr. Riley's blessings, I'm still in good health.
If it weren't for seeing Max bringing prosperity to the Powell Family, I wouldn't have the face to meet our ancestors."
With that, Mrs. Powell glanced deeply at Olivia and smiled as she spoke.
"To be honest, I envy Mr. Riley."
"Oh?" Curtis smiled, accepting the provocation.
"Logically speaking, Mr. Riley had a car accident and has difficulty walking. On top of that, your reputation precedes you, so it must be more challenging for you to find a suitable marriage partner
compared to our Max.
But who would have thought that your sister-in-law would generously push her own prospective bride onto your bed?
Now, Mr. Riley has a charming and understanding companion by his side, doesn't he?"
As the words fell, Olivia's face completely changed.
"Old hag, what nonsense are you spouting!"
