Olive Steele caressed Norton Geve’s back until his face softened, “I don’t care what Ellison Geve and Alan Hoyle are about to do with Angel. I’m not interested, but thank you, Norton, for being my patron so that I can stay in Angel to watch the place for him. If one day you decide to straighten up, I will always welcome you here to take over my position.”
Ellison Geve didn’t expect that she would say this. He paused and snorted coldly, “You don’t have to be so kind.”
Olive Steele shrugged her shoulders, “I can’t help it.”
Norton Geve looked at his son sadly, “You’re hopeless.”
The farce started by Ellison Geve was sorted out by Norton Geve. However, Olive Steele still got a headache thinking how the media would roast them tomorrow. She didn’t know how to cope living in the eye of the storm every day.
Sometimes, people simply didn’t have any choice. From the moment she decided to stand side by side with Alan Hoyle, she knew that her life wouldn’t be peaceful.
After the reporters left, the staffs were called to the general manager’s office by Norton Geve. The vivid atmosphere in the office during weekdays were now stagnant.
The secretary poured the tea carefully and retreated outside. Back in his seat, he clapped his chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
“How is it?” another secretary asked in a very low voice.
“Don’t ask. Can’t you feel the pressure? I think storm is coming.”
Lawyer Wang took a document from his briefcase and handed it to Ellison Gene, “Sir, this is a notarized will of Mr. Geve. Please have a look.”
Ellison Geve couldn’t wait to open it. He read it very carefully for fear of missing something. The more he read it the stiffer his face became. With trembling hands, he asked incredulously, “Dad, what do you mean by having a biological daughter?”
Everyone was shocked except Alan Hoyle. He didn’t reach much.
Olive Steele didn’t know that this man suffered from AIDS. He tried to molest her once. When she met him in the hospital, she thought that he might suffer frm HIV. She didn’t expect that she was right.
Perhaps, it was his karma for doing so many bad things.
Norton Geve was ashamed to talk about his son’s illness, but today, he didn’t care about his own reputation anymore. If it weren’t for protecting his son’s reputation, he would have been exposed by the reporters. They might use a recording to cancel him. If Alan Hoyle hadn’t taken the moles out, his life might be over already.
“Do you know why your father ask you to stay abroad?” Lory Ted approached Ellison Geve, “Your father never wanted to give up on you. He forced you to stay abroad because he felt that their technology was much better than what we had here. There is a sperm washing technique abroad. It allows people like you to continue having an offspring through IVF. But, look at you, you’re badly ill. No woman dares to get close to you, let alone conceived your child.”
