Chapter 629

When Louis received Olivia’s call, he was sitting in front of Old Mr. Smith’s bed.

When Louis saw the call from Olivia, he hung up without hesitation.

Ever since the incident, Old Mr. Smith saw the overwhelming scandal and fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, after a series of c…ergency treatments, Old Mr. Smith’s life was not in danger for the time

being.

But ever since Old Mr. Smith woke up, he had not seen anyone from the Smith family.

Louis rushed over after receiving Old Mr. Smith’s call.

“Grandpa, eat something first. Louis brought the soup to Old Mr. Smith’s mouth.

Old Mr. Smith waved his hand. “Put the things there first.”

How could Old Mr. Smith be in the mood to eat after such a huge incident at home?

When Olivia and Louis got engaged back then, Old Mr. Smith was dissatisfied.

Old Mr. Smith thought that his words were enough to make Louis understand, and he did not expect

things to come to this now.

Old Mr. Smith, who had been silent ever since he was admitted to the hospital, spoke up, want to ask

you. What do you plan to do next?”

Louis was slightly stunned. After thinking for a long time, Louis said calmly, “Control the spread of the

scandal and stabilize the shareholders’ emotions.”

If the company’s interests were affected due to Louis’s personal matter, those shareholders. would

definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for the Smith family.

Hearing this, Old Mr. Smith sneered. “Then how do you plan to control it? Even if you can control the

spread on the Internet, can you control the mouths of others? If words spread, can you stop people

from talking?”

“I

Upon hearing this, Louis immediately understood that Old Mr. Smith was not satisfied with his solution.

“Then you mean…”

“Divorce!” Old Mr. Smith blurted out. “Now that Olivia’s reputation has been destroyed, the Cruise

family is implicated. If you divorce now, we can still protect ourselves, and you won’t be criticized by

others. At most, people will say that you’re a pitiful man who was deceived. by a woman.”

If the Smith family continued to be involved with the Cruise family, Old Mr. Smith was worried that they

would be dragged down with the Cruise family before long.

Old Mr. Smith’s intuition told him that Rachel’s goal this time was probably not just to take revenge on

Olivia.

Old Mr. Smith’s words fell into Louis’s ears, making his heart pound.

“No!” Mrs. Smith, who had been waiting outside the door, suddenly broke in. “Olivia has Marina backing

her up. The Smith family can’t afford to offend Marina.”

Old Mr. Smith looked at Mrs. Smith coldly. There was an imperceptible mockery hidden in the depths of

Old Mr. Smith’s eyes. “Then let me ask you. Ever since Marina acknowledged Olivia as her godd

aughter, has she ever brought Olivia to any public places? Or has she ever openly introduced Olivia to

outsiders? Or has she held a ceremony to announce Olivia her godd aughter officially?”

Mrs. Smith was speechless at once.

Back then, it was rumored that Marina had acknowledged Olivia as her godd aughter. This matter came

out of nowhere. Everyone was still immersed in the shock of Marina’s incomparably noble identity when

Olivia suddenly became Marina’s godd aughter.

There were no signs or rituals.

To date, Marina has never introduced Olivia to outsiders.

Marina never showed up on any occasion related to the Cruise family, making it seem like the Cruise

family was the ones who were trying to curry favor with Marina with wishful thinking.

Mrs. Smith pondered for a moment and stammered, “Perhaps Marina doesn’t care about such rituals at

all? Moreover, at the engagement banquet yesterday, Marina personally instructed her assistant to

send Olivia an engagement gift.”

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Smith could not help but sneer. “The young lady of the Jones family in

Aureliana doesn’t care about these rituals? You must be joking.”

As soon as Old Mr. Smith finished speaking, the ward fell into an oppressive silence.

After some time, Old Mr. Smith spoke again. “Have you contacted Rachel since the incident?”

“I went to look for her,” Louis said. “But her attitude was very clear…

“She is not going to forgive you, right?” Old Mr. Smith interrupted.

Seeing that Louis lowered his eyes and did not speak, Old Mr. Smith guessed correctly in his heart. Old

Mr. Smith sighed softly, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips. “She is a good girl, but her stubborn

character is really unbearable.”

No one could change what Rachel had set her mind on.

Rachel would never forgive the person she hated.

“Go get Mr. Francis for me.” After instructing Louis, Old Mr. Smith turned to look at Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

“I’m tired. You guys can go back first.

With that, Old Mr. Smith ignored the two of them and lay down on the bed.

After everyone in the ward left, Old Mr. Smith slowly opened his eyes.

Old Mr. Smith stared at the ceiling above his head and could not help but sigh softly.

At this moment, Mrs. Smith, who had left the ward, frowned slightly and looked at the ward.

thoughtfully.

Mr. Smith saw that Mrs. Smith did not follow him for a long time and could not help but ask, “What are

you thinking?”

Mrs. Smith raised her eyes to look at Mr. Smith. Mrs. Smith looked like she wanted to say

something but hesitated. Mrs. Smith looked around and finally pulled Mr. Smith to at deserted corner.

“Why do you think Mr. Smith is looking for Benson now?”

Benson had always been Old Mr. Smith’s loyal subordinate. More importantly, Benson held the Old Mr.

Smith’s will!

“Maybe it’s because of the company,” Mr. Smith said casually.

Mrs. Smith raised her hand and slapped Mr. Smith on the chest. “When can you be attentive to family

matters?”

Mr. Smith looked at Mrs. Smith in confusion.

“I think Mr. Smith is probably looking for Benson to change his will!” Mrs. Smith said, “The doctor also

said that Mr. Smith was lucky to be sent here in time. Otherwise, he would have… I think Mr. Smith

probably feels that he is not as strong as before, so he wants to change his will before he gets

confused!”

The more Mrs. Smith spoke, the more she felt that this was a possibility.

Otherwise, why would the Old Mr. Smith contact Benson at this time?

Mr. Smith didn’t care about this. “Dad doesn’t have much left. Even if he wants to change his will and

gives someone something, it doesn’t matter.

Hearing this, Mrs. Smith glared at Mr. Smith angrily. “Don’t forget that he still holds 15% of the

company’s shares!”

“Louis was raised up by him. Dad wouldn’t make Louis suffer a loss. Don’t worry about it.” Mr. Smith

said as he pulled Mrs. Smith’s hand and walked out.

After the two of them got into the car, Mrs. Smith still did not give up. Just as the car was about to start,

Mrs. Smith opened the door and got out. “Go back first. I’ll stay here!”

“Why do you stay here?”

They had been married for many years. Mr. Smith knew clearly what Mrs. Smith was thinking.

As the two of them were arguing, Benson arrived.

After seeing the two of them, Benson nod slightly, greeted them politely, and walked toward the ward.

Mrs. Smith grabbed Mr. Smith’s hand. “Let’s go! Let’s follow him and take a look!”

In the ward.
