Chapter 1111

Grandpa Duran continued, “Comelia, just a heads up, you’ve agreed to be my granddaughter. No take backs.”

Comelia responded, “Grandpa Dumn, a promise is a promise. But, could you perhaps give me a few more days to mull it over?”

Grandpa Duran questioned. “If you’re not planning on backing out, what’s there to ponder?”

Comella fell silent. Grandpa Duran had a point

Grandpa Duran then tned to persuade her, “Since you’ve already agreed to be my granddaughter, we gotta carry out this adoption ceremony sooner or later. Better to sort it out sooner than later, night? It’s one less thing to worry about. You guys with me on this?”

Grandpa Duran was a smooth talker, not only did he coax Cornelia, he tried to rally everyone to convince her as well.

Steven chimed in, “It’s a good thing, indeed better sooner than later”

Comelia fell silent again. Why was he suddenly piping up now?

Cornelia looked over at Marcus, knowing he probably wouldn’t agree to her adopting a stranger with no blood ties as a relative. But to her surprise, Marcus was even more gung ho than her, “Grandpa Duran’s right, better sooner than later. Let’s get this done today.”

Hannah added. “Comelia, since you’ve promised Grandpa Duran, just go through with the adoption ceremony ASAP.”

In Hannah’s view, the Durans were influential and powerful. Once Grandpa Duran adopted Cornelia, she’d be under the Duran’s protection. Even if her marriage with Marcus fell apart, no one would dare mess with her. All in all, Hannah saw this as a blessing in disguise.

Rosie agreed, “I’m in.”

Everyone was on board. Cornelia had no other choice but to pin her last hope on Grandpa Duran, “Grandpa Duran, this isn’t a small matter Are you sure you don’t want to think it over?”

Grandpa Duran replied, “If everyone’s free today, why not join us for a trip to the Capital. The more the merrier for the adoption ceremony”

Cornelia fell silent again.

So, the seven of them boarded Grandpa Duran’s private plane to the Capital. After landing, they exited through the VIP channel and got into the business van Grandpa Duran had arranged.

After around half an hour drive, they arrived at a villa district. The van continued along the tree–lined avenue within the district.

Everyone couldn’t help but admire the Duran’s high status. Their residence had tight security and an advanced security system. There were guards stationed everywhere, even a fly wouldn’t be able to get in without permission.

Once on the plane, Steven snapped back to normal and chatted with Marcus and Lucas for two hours.

At this point, Steven displayed his social skills, “Grandpa Duran, can we ask the driver to slow down a bit? I’d love to take in the scenery.”

Grandpa Duran responded, “Slow down.”

Steven rolled down the window and looked around, “Grandpa Duran, if it weren’t for you, we might never have had the chance to see a place like this in our lifetime” Grandpa Duran retorted, “As the CEO of the Dixon Group, there shouldn’t be anything you can’t do. You don’t need to butter me up.”
