Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Galen's sincere and extremely polite attitude towards Langston’s family left everyone dumbfounded.
After all, he was the successor of the Burke Clan.
The young and skilled master who made it difficult for countless people to obtain thousands of gold coins.
With such power and identity, there was no need to do such sweet-talks with anyone.
However, he was polite to Madam Enya and her daughter Olivia.
The person in charge, who had just spoken coldly towards the Langston’s, was immediately stunned.
He was about to open his mouth to defend himself but when he saw Galen sweep him with a glance, he bowed down to him and waited for his orders.
"You are not needed here,” Galen said coldly.
In just one sentence, he instantly pushed the person in charge away.
Madam Enya and Oscar were both stunned.
They even exchanged a glance before looking back at Olivia at the same time.
‘He was so handsome so how did they know each other?’
".."
The corner of Olivia's mouth twitched as she stared at Galen's face.
She was also dumbfounded.
Olivia and Galen were not that familiar with each other.
They only met once.
Other than that, they no longer had a connection.
‘How could Galen be so polite like this?’ But Olivia had only thought of one possibility.
That was because of the Norland War.
As Olivia thought about it, she then saw this tall man leaning his back against the corridor.
Even though she was facing the back of the man behind her back, she could tell that his manly aura was strong.
Typically, no one would dare to approach him.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, Bruce turned around and looked in Olivia’s direction.
His eyes were dark brilliant, and fierce.
When their gaze met, his lips curled up into a smile. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
And because of the sudden response, Olivia was stunned.
She was completely driven by his intense visual impact on her.
‘What kind of human being is he? His perfect and flawless face alone is enough to drive people like crazy! Who could withstand his charm?’ But Olivia only took a glance before averting her gaze away.
She was wondering.
‘What could be the reason why he is suddenly here in the hospital?’ After thinking of a way, Olivia had decided to excuse herself.
"I am truly sorry to trouble you, Young Master.But if you wouldn't mind, please take a look at our mother.She has been experiencing headaches since last night”
As she spoke, she pushed her younger brother to accommodate their mother in Galen's Office.
"I'm going to the bathroom, Oscar.Please accompany our mother while I'm not around."
Then she hurriedly ran away.
But Madam Enya noticed that she was heading the wrong way so she shouted at her daughter and said, "The bathroom isn't over there, Darling!" which made Galen chuckle.
"Alright.Let's see what's wrong with your headaches, Madam Langston.’ And they finally headed to the office.
Bruce was still lazily leaning his back against the corridor.
He watched how Olivia ran to the opposite side of the corridor.
His head was slightly bent whilst looking at the girl who had just grown up.
The white light above him shone on his handsome face, making the corners of his jaw look softer.
Once Olivia stopped from running, Bruce jokingly asked her right away.
"Did you come here to treat me to dinner again?"
Olivia's delicate face blushed as if she was wearing a rouge.
Hearing the word "again" made her scratch her cheek awkwardly.
She had said that she would treat Bruce to dinner twice in a row.
Until now, she had never fulfilled it even once they encountered each other.
Now, it seemed that this dinner could not escape regardless of how she changed the topic.
Without thinking twice, Olivia lifted up her face to look at the man in front of her to ask, "Hm! Are you free tomorrow?"
Her sweet voice was delicate but not pretentious.
The smile in Bruce's eyes deepened as he speaks.
"How about tonight?"
He asked her back.
Olivia pondered for a moment before nodding a head yes.
"Alright! But, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
The man stretched out his hand and pointed at his abdomen.
Olivia instantly remembered that when she saw Bruce on the first day of her rebirth, he had suffered from serious injuries.
Even though he looked as if nothing had happened to him, it would still take some time for his wounds to recover.
However, this matter seemed to have been sealed off, and no rumors had ever been heard of since then.
Olivia knew that this matter was probably a secret, so she didn't pursue to ask any further.
"Okay! I'll see you tonight!" and she waved her hand goodbye.
Looking at Olivia's slender back gradually disappearing in front of him, made Bruce wonder.
A few days ago, he ran into Donald in a bar.
He helped Olivia investigate Donald's whereabouts.
Then, he ordered his two bodyguards to secretly protect her and see what she was doing.
And the result was unexpected.
This girl was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Her mind was so deep and full of mysteries that even he couldn't see through it.
When Olivia returned, Galen had already finished checking on her mother.
According to him, there was no problem.
However, due to the deficiency of air and blood in her system, the oxygen supply to her brain was insufficient.
So Galen prescribed a lot of medicine for Madam Enya.
"Make sure to have a good rest and come back again in a month to see the results." Said Galen.
On their way home, Madam Enya did not hesitate to ask her daughter a question, admiring the handsome man they met earlier at the hospital.
"Olivia, when did you get to know this young master Galen from the Burke Clan? He's quite nice and polite!"
But instead of answering her question, Olivia ended up shaking her head in disbelief.
She was already expecting to hear this from Madam Enya.
Galen and her barely know each other and even if she knew the answer to her mother’s question, she wouldn't tell her for sure.
Before Olivia could even speak, Oscar raised a hand and said, "Mom! I just saw my sister with another big brother earlier! That big brother is even more handsome than the young master!"
"Shut up!"
Olivia immediately shut him off and continued, "Nothing's going on between us, Mom.It's just that last time, I did a small favor to his friend, and today, he returned the favor."
She denied the three consecutive battles that happened and didn't dare to say anything related to the Battle Norland.
This name already had too much influence in LC City, and it might scare Madam Enya.
She doesn't want to stress her mother out so she kept the information herself.
"I see’ Madam Enya smiled and didn't ask any further.
But her face was still filled with pride.
Since her daughter was surrounded by thousands of handsome males around the City.
"My daughter is so beautiful.Tell me, who wouldn't like you, Darling?"
"That's right! My sister's so beautiful and worth all the best in the world!" Oscar grinned.
And they happily chatted with one another as they got home.
When the clock hits night, Olivia made sure to dress beautifully tonight so that Bruce wouldn't be disappointed in her.
She even used the excuse of going out with her classmates just to go out and meet him for the sake of their dinner.
Olivia arrived earlier than expected.
As she passed by the door of a bank, she saw a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground.
He was sobbing miserably whilst asking for help.
Even if she wanted to, she ended up walking past him.
And as she looked around the place, she accidentally saw a familiar face.
She knew this man.
His name was Nicholas Harvey.
Originally, the boss of a planning and creative company.
But because the company's capital chain was broken, the cashier's donation ran away.
Unfortunately, his four-year-old daughter got sick and needed a huge surgery fee for medication.
So he sold the company and went around to raise money.
In his previous life, it was Leonard who handed him help by buying his company and paying off his debts.
Since Nicholas doesn't have a choice and could only sell himself to Leonard to work for his company for the rest of his life.
Aside from that, Nicholas was very smart.
After his last failure, he accumulated a lot of money to raise back his company.
And finally, Leonard, the boss, made a lot of money.
In this new life, many things began to change.
The heavens told her to meet Nicholas before Leonard because he would give her an excellent opportunity.
She knew she'd regret it if she didn’t give it a shot.
Olivia walked towards Nicholas and handed him over a credit card without hesitation.
"There's 60 million in my card.Let's make a deal"
