Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second

Chapter 362: A Beating Should Do

Daxton looked at Benjamin incredulously. “Is that girl…really in need of money?” She seemed like a little money-grubber.

Benjamin nodded. “Seems like it.”

Understanding immediately, Daxton sent Olivia another message. “I was planning to give you some reward after dinner.”

Olivia replied, “Time and place, I’ll be there.”

That evening, Daxton prepared a lavish dinner at the Moore family estate, waiting for Olivia’s arrival. As Olivia drove up to the grand gates of the Moore family estate, she was taken aback by the opulence of the mansion. “How thick must the reward be?”

The butler promptly led Olivia inside, and as she entered the hall, she saw Daxton seated in his wheelchair, looking benevolent. Behind him, pushing the wheelchair, was a person who raised Olivia’s eyebrows.

Today, Benjamin, who was coerced into wheelchair duty, met Olivia’s amused gaze and quickly looked away.

“Benjamin?” Olivia addressed him, only then noticing the family resemblance with Daxton, who looked somewhat haggard from his recent ordeal.

“Miss, I forgot to mention last time, Benjamin…he’s my grandson,” Daxton explained with a smile.

Olivia’s response alone could have raised Daxton’s approval rating by eighty percent. Coupled with her brave actions the other day, Daxton grew even fonder of her. He might be ill, but that didn’t stop him from playing matchmaker for Benjamin and Olivia.

Benjamin awkwardly shifted his gaze, while Olivia nodded thoughtfully. “Grandpa, don’t worry, I won’t take the reward for nothing.”

Before Daxton could respond, Olivia swiftly moved next to Benjamin, giving him a small smile. Benjamin was stunned. Happiness came too suddenly!

But in the next second, Olivia flipped Benjamin over her shoulder, throwing him to the ground with a loud thud! Benjamin, who was just savoring his moment of bliss, was now a mess on the floor.

Daxton’s smile froze. What in the world?

Olivia exclaimed, “Although we’re classmates, your disrespect toward your elder is unacceptable. I must teach you a lesson on behalf of the school! Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll straighten him out!”

It’s just disrespect, right? Mostly spoiled! A good beating should fix it! If one beating isn’t enough, then two will do!

As Olivia geared up for another moment, Benjamin, clutching his sore chest, hurriedly raised his hand. “Hold on! When did I disrespect anyone?” I’m innocent!

Olivia turned to Daxton. “Your grandfather said so.” She still remembered Daxton’s complaints about disrespectful descendants.

Benjamin looked at his grandfather. You can’t set up your grandson like that, can you?

Daxton said, “Would you believe it if I said this was a misunderstanding?” Turning to Olivia, he clarified, “Olivia, I wasn’t talking about him. Benjamin is the most filial child.”

Benjamin nodded earnestly.

Only then did Olivia let go, and Benjamin slowly got up, thankful for his robust constitution, or that throw would have cost him dearly.
