My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 254
Chapter 254
Olivia responded tacitly, “The Lane family? What happened?”
Of course, she knew.
In fact, she had even assisted Nash.
Walter’s motives were unknown, and she had to tread with caution.
Walter retrieved a file from his briefcase, which he had placed on the chair next to his. “This document is the development rights to Wallis District. I outbid your father for this land because of how much I liked it back in the day!”
Olivia’s gaze immediately turned toward the document in Walter’s hands.
Wallis District.
Her grandparents had lived there for almost thirty years.
After her grandfather retired, her father had wanted to use his development rights to Wallis District to build him a mansion where he could comfortably enjoy his retirement. However, Walter had bought off the development rights for three billion dollars.
Given her grandfather’s rapidly declining health, Nash had stated he would only live for another two
years.
Both her father and grandfather would be delighted if she got her hands on the development rights
for Wallis District.
“The development rights and the deed for Wallis District are worth over six billion dollars. You wouldn’t give them away for nothing, would you, Mr. Watson?”
Olivia was the CEO of Drake Group and had been exposed to plenty thanks to the time she had working with Theo. She easily calmed the excited look in her eyes.
spent
“Mr. Lee and I have known each other for thirty years. Our friendship cannot be defined by merely a development project!” Walter responded, with a sincere look on his face.
“I’m not a young girl anymore, Mr. Watson. Please stop beating around the bush, or I wouldn’t dare agree to work on this project!” Olivia responded, a smile on her face.
“I just wanted to get your clarification on something.”
“Was Nash Calcraft tending to Mr. Lee at the Chateau Hotel last night?”
Walter asked in a low voice.
Olivia did not hesitate as she replied, “Yes, that’s right. Mr. Calcraft spent the entire night at the
Chateau Hotel!”
Last night, Nash had told her there would be people asking about his whereabouts.
Sure enough, they were turning up today.
She had thought it would be men from the Lane family or the Green Bamboo Association. Walter had not been on her list of potential visitors.
However, no matter who it was, she would not expose Nash’s secrets.
Olivia’s prompt reply aroused Walter’s suspicion.
The girl was not curious about why he was asking about Nash.
It seemed as if she were ready to answer his question.
As if it had been rehearsed beforehand.
“Don’t worry… I have nothing to do with the Lane family or the Green Bamboo Association. I’m here because of my good-for-nothing grandson!
“I’m sure you know what happened between Kai and Helena. Helena and Hera aren’t on good terms, and the two are locked in constant strife. My son is deeply in love with the Lewis family’s daughter and has gotten involved in the issues between them. I thought they were catty fights and had never expected things to become so serious…”
Tears flowed down Walter’s face.
He also talked about how his son had given Simon four billion dollars.
Olivia’s brows furrowed together, but she did not say anything.
It seemed that Walter truly was not in cahoots with Simon and the rest.
She also knew of Kai and Helena’s romance.
Kai’s flamboyant personality was what had caused this irreparable damage.
“Kai’s mother was raised in a rural part of the country, and my vehement objection toward her marrying my son was what caused them to lose their lives!
“I’ve been doing my best to make it up to Kai all these years, but I’ve still failed to erase the hatred he
harbors toward me!
“Now, Kai has enraged Nash. As his grandfather, I can’t just stand by and watch!”
Tears flowed down Walter’s face, and he knelt before Olivia. “Olivia, your grandfather and I have been friends for decades. Please help us!”
Olivia hurriedly helped Walter stand up again. “Mr. Watson, you don’t have to do that!”
Walter wiped his tears away. “Nash can punish Kai any way he wishes to, I just want him to spare
Kai’s life…”
A hesitant look appeared on Olivia’s face as waves of confusing emotions washed over her.
Though her grandfather and Watson had not gone through major life events together, they had indeed known each other for over thirty years.
The Lee family had been an unassuming family with little power to speak of before she married Theo.
The Watson family had given the Lee family many opportunities to collaborate with other businesses.
“I… I’ll ask Nash for his opinion!”
Olivia sighed.
Grateful tears rolled down Walter’s cheeks. “Thank you… thank you…”
He was the richest man in the country, but here he was, bowing and groveling to a younger
generation.
