I’m Someone Else

Chapter 160

“Dad! Taylor!” Declan Pearson greeted the two elderly men.

“Declan, Olivia lives at Northpine Villa’s Villa No. 66. You should head over there. Maybe there’s still a chance to change things around if you’re there to deal with the matter.”

Others might not know this, but Terrence knew very well that although Declan was Olivia’s uncle, he and Olivia were way closer than Oliva and her father!

When Olivia was still young, Terrence would either bring her a well-thought-out gift or bring her out for a sumptuous meal whenever he returned from Capitalis. That was something the entire family knew about. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

At this moment, Declan seemed angry because his father had called to tell him about what had happened with Olivia yesterday. His father-in-law, Taylor Saunders, might seem like a kind man, but if Olivia continued to stay out of the Pearson Family’s control, the other five families of the Six Greatest Families would definitely knock on their door and demand an explanation, including Taylor.

No matter whether they were in-laws or not, such a relationship was nothing when it came to family interests!

Moreover, his father had made it clear to him on the phone yesterday that the Hind, Yam, and Xalmar Families had come to ask for an explanation, but the Pearson Family had yet to give them one. If he couldn’t persuade Olivia to return home, the Pearson Family might face their toughest crisis yet—To be besieged by the other five families!

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll do my best to get Olivia to come home. Don’t be nervous. I’ll head home to rest and then go to look for her.”

After giving the others his promise, Declan left. He had rushed all the way home, so he needed to take a rest and prepare a nice gift for his niece. That way, their meeting wouldn’t be too awkward.

Now that he thought of it, he hadn’t seen Olivia for many years and wondered if she would still see him as a respected elder. Then, he couldn’t help but feel curious about Thomas. Who on earth is this Clifford guy? We Pearsons wouldn’t be in such a mess if he didn’t appear!

Seeing that Declan had left, Taylor spoke up. “Hey, Terrence, there’s something I have been keeping in my mind for a long while, but I’m afraid it might hurt our family’s relationship if I say it aloud.”

“Taylor, what is there to be worried about? Don’t be shy and just say what’s on your mind!”

“The Pearson Family is in this situation because of your own doings!”

“What?” Terrence became slightly agitated. “Taylor, what do you mean to say?”

“Don’t you understand? Let me ask you this, how are Olivia’s management skills? Forget the future, and let’s focus on the period after she became Pearson Group’s president. How was her performance?”

“She did well. I couldn’t compare myself to her.” Terrence was honest with his answer.

Taylor nodded. “Olivia is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime genius, and that is something the entire Irieson has witnessed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be dubbed the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson! The Pearson Group’s profits are influenced by the past, so it’s impossible for Olivia to change anything. Even though I’m Yukine’s grandfather, I’ll put in a fair word and say Olivia is the most talented amongst all the youngsters in the Pearson Family.

“But what did you do? Have you ever shown her any consideration or taken care of her? I’m sure it’s a no. Since her mother’s passing, you guys have pretended to care for her before the public when, in

fact, you all see her as a money-gathering tool!”

He continued, “I know you guys dislike the Denver Family, and they do behave overbearingly, but honestly, the Denvers had done nothing wrong to the Pearson Family, and they have been even protecting the Pearson Family for many years. Do you think it’s fair for Olivia to get such treatment because her mother failed to bear a son for you Pearson Family?”

As the Pearsons’ in-law, Taylor knew all too well about what went on in the Pearson Family. Among everyone in that family, only Declan and Ophelie—not even Norma—truly cared about Olivia! No matter what, Olivia was a part of the Pearson Family. She had the Pearson Family blood flowing inside her, yet they treated her so unfairly. Those oblivious to the situation might think the Pearsons were very nice to Olivia, but only the Pearsons know the truth.

“I… That…” Terrence was so shocked by what Taylor said that he stammered but couldn’t say anything in full. That was because what Taylor said was true, and Terrence had no way of refuting it.

“Terrence, ask yourself, have you ever considered yourself a grandfather when it comes to Olivia? Would she have been so determined to leave the Pearson Family if you guys hadn’t done something to hurt her? Yet now, you want her back after something happened. Mind me for being blunt, but even I feel embarrassed for you!”

Then, Taylor rose to his feet and said, “That is not how humans should behave, so I’ll leave you to think about it.”

Once that was said, he left the villa.

Meanwhile, Terrence sat on the couch, entranced. Have I really gone too far? Have I? I didn’t care much about her, that’s it. Is that too much? It’s not like I refused to provide for her. I’ve given her the best I can offer since she was young and even sent her to the best schools. But even an outsider like Taylor couldn’t stand it, which means I have indeed gone too far, right? Wait! I have done nothing wrong. Isn’t this how prestigious families should be? What right does Taylor have to accuse me of not doing well enough? Also, since Olivia has decided to leave the family that brought her up, it means that she has openly declared to sever ties with us Pearson Family! Doesn’t she feel guilty about that? And now she’s even dating that Thomas guy. She’s harming the family! How malevolent! All in all, it’s all Olivia’s fault. She’s an unloyal and ingrate child, so I have done nothing wrong.

If Olivia found out about her grandfather’s thoughts, she would certainly regret not leaving the Pearson Family sooner because what was the point of having such a family? If Thomas hadn’t appeared, she would have lived in such a heartless family until she became the sacrifice! How cruel was her family to sacrifice her and still want to gain every ounce of profit from her? She was lucky to have left the Pearson Family!

Meanwhile, when Declan returned home, Yukine opened the door for him.
