Chapter 436: What’s There to Be Disappointed About
Hearing Isaac’s proposal, Victor’s expression softened.
He knew Olivia’s personality well, in her heart, traditional Chinese medicine held a very significant place.
If such an opportunity truly existed, Olivia would surely choose to stay in the country and strive for a chance to collaborate with the Hargraves family.
“How about my idea?” Isaac asked with a smile, seeking credit.
Victor’s lips curved slightly, “Not bad. If you can keep her here, consider it a favor I owe you.”

Even if he could speak on the matter, if he brought it up to Olivia, she might refuse the opportunity because of him, which would be counterproductive.
Having Isaac bring it up made it more legitimate.
Isaac raised an eyebrow, “Forget the favor. Just remember to give me a big red envelope when you two get married.”
Without waiting for Victor to respond, he got up and left.
After leaving Leer’s Group, Isaac didn’t return to the company but went straight back to Whitaker’s Estate.
It would be more convincing for Liam to personally speak to Olivia about this matter.
Olivia wouldn’t overthink it either.
When he arrived home, Liam was being assisted by a caregiver in his physical therapy. Seeing Isaac return suddenly, Liam asked in confusion, “Why are you back so early? Is everything fine at the company?”
Isaac went over to replace the caregiver in supporting Liam’s arm and smiled, “Grandpa, I need to discuss something with you.”
Liam nodded slightly, “Go ahead.”
“In a while, the Hargraves family will be holding a public medical consultation. Could you do me a favor and speak to them on behalf of Dr. Prescott, so she can join them in the consultation?” Isaac asked.
Liam had some connections with the Hargraves family and could speak on this matter.
Liam nodded noncommittally, “Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I had already planned to do so.”
The Whitaker family had a century-long tradition of valuing traditional Chinese medicine.
Over the years, aside from members of the Hargraves family, Olivia was the only young person Liam had seen who had made significant achievements in traditional Chinese medicine.
Naturally, Liam wouldn’t miss out on nurturing such a promising talent.
Moreover, Liam could see Olivia’s passion for traditional Chinese medicine and knew how valuable this opportunity was for her.
Upon learning that the Hargraves family would be holding a public medical consultation, Liam had already thought of introducing Olivia to them.
Seeing that Liam shared his thoughts, Isaac felt relieved and cautiously added, “And… about the collaboration slots after the Hargraves family establishes their research institute…”
Liam understood his implication and gave his grandson a meaningful look, “Do you have feelings for Dr. Prescott?”
Isaac was speechless.
Firstly, he admired Dr. Prescott but had no other feelings for her.
Secondly, Dr. Prescott was the woman his brother was interested in, how could he possibly have designs on her?
Yet everyone seemed to have this misconception, leaving him exasperated.
Seeing his grandson’s expression, Liam realized he had overthought and smiled knowingly, “Got it. But since it’s up to the Hargraves family to choose their collaborators, this old man has no say in it.”
Isaac quickly agreed, “I just wanted to inform you first. I was worried that if it came down to choosing between the Whitaker family and Dr. Prescott’s institute and the Whitaker family wasn’t chosen, you’d be disappointed.”
Liam chuckled indifferently, “Dr. Prescott has the capability. Besides, if she’s chosen by the Hargraves family, what’s there to be disappointed about?”
Seeing Liam take it so well, Isaac was completely reassured and added, “Then I’ll leave it to you to mention this to Dr. Prescott.”
Liam agreed.
