Second Chapter 42 Liam Wilson

Vance paused, slightly confused.

“What do you mean?”

Olivia didn’t reply.

Capital was undoubtedly powerful, but this gaming company, with decades of history, held a special place in many people’s hearts. Soon, the capital manipulating the stock market would feel the force of the public’s sentiment.

A miracle born from nostalgia. This stock would become a legend in the market within weeks, marking the beginning of Olivia’s new life. By buying into this stock, Olivia was setting the stage for her fresh start.

Satisfied, she was about to leave when her phone buzzed with a message. At the same time, Vance’s phone pinged as well.

“Grandpa wants us to have dinner at the old mansion tonight,” Vance said, glancing at his screen. Olivia had received the same message.

In her past life, if there was one truly “good” memory Olivia had of the Wilson family, it was related to its patriarch, Liam Wilson. Liam had always been kind to her. No matter how cold and distant Alexander was, Liam had constantly created opportunities for them to bond and had even issued Alexander a stern warning: no divorces allowed. Whenever Olivia visited the old mansion, Liam would take her hand, scold Alexander for his indifference, and ask about her well-being.

Although Olivia wanted to escape the Wilson family, she had always felt genuine respect and gratitude toward Liam. After all, it was Liam who, while recovering in the countryside, met Olivia by chance and arranged her marriage to Alexander. Without Liam’s support, Olivia might still have been abandoned by the Gu family, left to fend for herself in the countryside.

In this life, stepping into the Wilson family’s old mansion once more, Olivia’s mind felt entirely different.

Chapter 12 Liam Wilson

In the grand hall, Liam, now in his seventies but still vibrant, was seated on the sofa, glaring at Alexander.

“I told you to bring Livi with you. How did you end up coming alone?” Liam huffed, his irritation palpable.

He had carefully chosen such a fine young woman for his eldest grandson, yet Alexander refused to appreciate her! Alexander sat silently on the sofa, his face expressionless as Liam reprimanded him.

“If you come alone again next time, don’t bother coming back at all!”

As Liam continued to scold him, Olivia and Vance entered the room together. The moment Liam saw Olivia, his stern demeanor vanished, replaced by warmth and kindness.

“Good evening, Grandpa,” Olivia said politely.

“Our Livi is always so well-mannered, unlike someone who only knows how to make me angry,” Liam said, throwing a pointed look at Alexander. Alexander didn’t respond.

The more Liam looked at Olivia, the more he liked her. Taking her hand, he led her to sit beside him.

“Our Livi just gets prettier and prettier,” he praised.

On the side, Vance couldn’t help but roll his eyes at what he considered his grandfather’s bias. Olivia is talented, sure, but calling her pretty… Most of her face was hidden behind glasses; he wasn’t seeing it.

Liam, oblivious to Vance’s thoughts, glanced regretfully at Olivia’s glasses.

“Livi, you’re not even nearsighted. Why do you insist on wearing these glasses?”

He still remembered the first time he met her. With a bare face, she had been so stunning that even he, an old man, had been awestruck. But ever since the Gu family brought her back, she had started wearing those unflattering glasses every day. What a waste.

“To block the wind,” Olivia replied, deadpan. Liam burst into laughter, thoroughly amused.

Meanwhile, Vance, who had been completely ignored until now, was growing desperate.

Grandpa, I’m here! Look at me! “Grandpa, I was the one who brought Olivia here…” Vance interjected, trying to make his presence known.

Liam glanced at him briefly, as if just now noticing him.

“Oh, you’re here too?”

Vance was stunned by the question. Didn’t you send the message asking me to come back? Am I adopted?
