Chapter 560: Marry Olive
Liam quickly nodded. “Father, I know what to do. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.”
“That’s good,” Logan said, patting Liam’s shoulder. “Liam, I’m most optimistic about you. If you successfully marry Olive and secure the Visionary empire, I can abdicate peacefully and hand over Greenland to you!”
Logan didn’t actually want Olive to marry his son, but acquiring Visionary through this marriage was his priority. To him, marriage was the quickest and most effective solution. He wouldn't have to worry about Olive's influence in Greenland. The biggest uncertainty was Liam; he needed to prevent Liam from allying with Olive. Liam seemed ambivalent, not fully committed to either side—a sly fox, his proudest son.
Logan decided to take the initiative and secure Liam's loyalty. He also planned to use Aaron to pursue Olive, hoping Aaron would marry her instead of Liam.
Aaron’s eyes lit up. He knew this night was crucial—a test from Logan, and a chance to gain Visionary by marrying Olive. He looked at Olive, who appeared stunningly beautiful, then scoffed and continued watching her. He knew possessing Olive would be immensely rewarding.
He soon found Clara. “Clara, why didn’t Molly come?” he whispered.
Molly, Logan’s favored mistress, had enjoyed years of privilege. An exotic beauty without strong family ties, she’d arrived at Logan’s household alone, seeking adventure and navigating the complexities of the royal family.
Clara smiled at the mention of Molly. “She said the roses she planted in the back garden bloomed today. She’s picking them to make flower cakes,” she replied.
“Flower cakes now? Clara, didn’t you tell her that Princess Olive Hart of Visionary is here?”
“Brother, why the panic? She knows, but says Olive isn’t worth her time and we should handle things ourselves.”
“But…” Aaron remained apprehensive about Olive. He lowered his voice. “Visionary possesses ancient, potent medical skills. Ordinary medicine would be useless against Olive. How can I ensure she sleeps with me tonight?”
“Brother, Mother has a plan. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” Clara said, then walked towards Olive.
Chapter 960: Many Olives
Aaron felt a measure of calm, patiently waiting for his chance to possess Olive.
Clara approached Olive, then paused, seeing a striking figure. Elvis had arrived, wearing a designer suit, his bearing elegant and dignified. His entrance created a stir.
“Look, it’s Elvis, head of the Red Mafia, the world’s richest man!”
“Wow, he’s handsome!”
Beyond his looks, his expensive and exquisite attire was captivating. A handsome, wealthy, and single man—who could compete?
Clara saw the socialites gazing at Elvis. Contempt flickered on her lips. She adjusted her dress and approached gracefully. “Mr. Augustine, welcome,” she said.
She took Elvis’s arm, declaring him hers. The women’s hopes immediately crumbled.
“Wake up, stop dreaming. The Red Mafia’s leader belongs to Princess Clara,” someone muttered.
“Elvis and Princess Clara have been close for three years. On Clara’s last birthday, Elvis even gave her a magic fireworks display,” another added.
Clara inwardly sneered, determined to keep Elvis. Despite her inner viciousness, her face remained innocent. But looking up, she stiffened. Elvis was engrossed in others, not giving her a glance.
Following his gaze, she saw him looking at Olive. From the moment he arrived, his eyes remained fixed on her.
A plan formed in Clara’s mind. She smiled. “Mr. Augustine, that’s Princess Olive of Visionary. Let me introduce you.”
Clara and Elvis approached. Olive was with Liam, their connection palpable. She sensed a strong gaze, turned, and saw Elvis. Clara, still holding Elvis’s arm, maintained an intimate façade as they approached. Liam, holding a glass of wine, observed Olive looking at Elvis.
