I’m Someone Else

Chapter 214

Chapter 214

Harrison also wanted to say that Thomas wouldn’t agree with her suggestion, but after thinking about it, he decided not to mention Thomas at all. Thomas had done enough for Olivia, so it would be best if he wasn’t involved in this matter.

Leah looked at Quincy in confusion. Why would Quincy be against this? He probably wouldn’t. Even though the Hofstead Family and the Pearson Family were on good terms with each other, Quincy and Olivia didn’t know each other that well. He had no reason to get involved in complicated things like this.

If Quincy insisted on getting involved, then Leah would have to rethink her plans. After all, his status was so special that even Leah didn’t dare offend him without good reason.

When Quincy heard Harrison’s words, he put on a bitter smile. He knew that Harrison wanted to say that Thomas wouldn’t agree to it either. He didn’t want to be involved in this, but when he thought about it, he felt like he would be dragged into the matter sooner or later. When Thomas was hot on their heels in the future, he would stand firmly on Thomas’ side.

As such, it wouldn’t matter if he became a shield for Thomas just this once.

“Old Mr. Denver is right. Leah, you have no right to make any decisions about Olivia’s marriage. If you want to take Olivia away so that she can marry that genius in Capitalis, you’re free to do so as long as you get Olivia’s permission! If not, you will never take Olivia and her sister away!”

With that, Quincy stood up and looked down at Leah, who was sitting on the couch. The aura emanating from his body turned sharp as he continued, “Don’t try to threaten anyone with Capitalis. Even though I usually lie low, I know Capitalis very well too. If my words work in Irieson, they will achieve the same effect in Capitalis!”

Before getting any response from Leah, he walked right out of the office.

Declan was injured, so Ophelie would surely inform her sister about it. If Olivia came here, Thomas would follow her here as well. It would be better if Quincy went out.

“Heh, messed up, didn’t you? You didn’t expect that at all, am I right? What a surprise for you!” Harrison grinned at Leah, then walked out of the office as well.

As soon as the two left, Leah’s expression darkened. She couldn’t care less about Harrison’s opinions, for she didn’t care about a family as insignificant as the Denvers. However, now that Quincy stated his stance, things had gotten much more complicated.

“Do I have to obtain Olivia’s permission?”

Leah mumbled as she left the dean’s office as well.

She knew the situation within the Pearson Family like the back of her hand. Her two granddaughters weren’t on good terms with the Pearson Family, and the only person they acknowledged was her second son, Declan. Now that Declan was hospitalized because of an injury, Olivia would certainly be there. Hence, she would be meeting this granddaughter of hers.

Never did she imagine meeting her granddaughter for the first time in a hospital.

Just as she expected, Olivia was here. Olivia was standing beside Declan’s bed as she listened to what her sister had to say.

Ophelie sobbed pitifully as she complained about the injustice to her sister.

She seemed to be complaining to her sister, but in reality, her words were meant for Thomas. Ophelie knew very well that the person who could truly avenge her was none other than her future brother-in- law.

However, Thomas’ reaction disappointed her. Thomas simply crossed his arms and leaned against the window by the sickbed, smoking. He didn’t look like he was even remotely interested in the conversation.

He had no interest in whatever was happening among the Pearson Family. As long as Olivia wasn’t involved, he wouldn’t want to be involved either. It wasn’t like he had nothing better to do; he could get himself involved, but that would depend on Olivia’s wishes.

Declan had already woken up, and he was taking the medicine Quincy had prepared for him. He looked much better compared to before.

Creak!

The door to the ward was opened. Quincy, Harrison, and Leah walked in.

Their appearance caught the attention of everyone in the ward, especially Leah’s. Olivia stared at her, knowing very well that if she guessed correctly, this must be the legendary grandmother of hers.

Leah only took a glance at Olivia, but she was already blown away by the latter’s beauty. How charming! Even though she had seen photos of Olivia before, she was still amazed when she saw Olivia in the flesh. Just as expected of her granddaughter, Olivia had perfectly inherited her best features and was even prettier than she was in her youth.

“Olivia, it’s me, your grandmother!” Leah seemed a little emotional as she took a few steps forward. She threw her arms open, intending to pull her granddaughter into her embrace.

However, Olivia took a few steps backward, dodging her discreetly.

“Please get a hold of yourself, old lady. I don’t know you.”

“Hm? Olivia, I’m your grandmother.”

“I’m sorry, but I’ve never heard of you. My grandfather and father never mentioned your existence. How can you prove that you’re my grandmother?”

Quincy and Harrison tried to hold back their laughter. What a genius move! Olivia wasn’t the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson for nothing; her words were guarded entirely. The two understood what she meant immediately; how could she accept that this old woman was her grandmother just based on verbal claims? In her dreams! Olivia could even claim that she was the old woman’s grandmother if she wanted to.

Also, Olivia mentioned the deceased Terrence and Norman, blocking Leah’s way out. If Leah wanted to prove that she was Olivia’s grandmother, she could, but she would have to convince Terrence and Norman to explain things to Olivia. However, both men were dead, so how could they do that?

Olivia’s intention couldn’t be more obvious. She refused to acknowledge Leah as her grandmother!

“Um…” At that moment, Leah was at a loss for words. Before meeting Olivia, she had imagined dozens of reactions she might get, but she had no idea how to deal with this reaction. It was impossible!

Declan, who was lying on the sickbed, shook his head and said nothing. This was his niece’s decision, so he had no right to interfere.

Leah looked at the people in the ward, then rested her gaze on Thomas. She quickly walked over to him. She needed a punching bag right now, but Olivia and her sister couldn’t possibly fill that role. Now, she could only try to gain the sisters’ favor. Declan couldn’t fill that role either, for she was already feeling remorse toward her son. Also, she didn’t dare offend Harrison and Quincy, so she could only direct her anger at Thomas.

Quincy pouted but remained silent. This old woman wasn’t a decent fellow. If she could even control someone as influential as Terrence, Quincy knew very well that she would talk to Thomas with ill

intentions. However, if she wanted to cause trouble for the man, she could forget about it.

“So, you’re Thomas, eh?”

Thomas nodded.

“I’ve heard about you. Hello.” Leah extended a hand with a seemingly gentle smile on her face.

When Thomas saw that, he reached out and took her hand. Regardless of how Olivia treated her, he decided to be polite at the very least. After all, Leah was quite old.

However, their hands had just touched when Thomas immediately sensed something amiss. A great force surged toward him from Leah’s hand.

“Are you trying to take it out on me?” Thomas instantly understood Leah’s thoughts.
