Raina Lowell and Alaric Jennings spent the whole day playing outside with the child and returned to The Everett Family in the evening. As soon as the three of them entered the house, they saw quite a few people sitting in the living room. The Grant Family, a family of three, and The Everett Family, a family of three. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on them. Raina, unwilling to see a certain someone, held her son’s hand and started to go upstairs. Adrian Grant immediately stood up and shouted, "Raina." He was about to go over, but Mr. Everett got up to block him, "Adrian Grant, can’t you see my daughter doesn’t want to talk to you? You all better leave now." In the past, The Grant Family was beyond their reach. Mrs. Grant’s attitude was so high and mighty it reached the sky. Now that they know Evelyn is their flesh and blood, they come to curry favor shamelessly. Wanting them to persuade their daughter to reconcile with Adrian Grant for the child’s sake. There’s no such good thing. Adrian Grant knew this was The Everett Family’s residence, not somewhere he could act recklessly. With Mr. Everett blocking him, preventing him from approaching Raina, he could only watch helplessly as Raina disappeared with her son. However, Alaric Jennings didn’t go upstairs; he walked over to them. Seeing Alaric Jennings, Adrian Grant couldn’t help but feel a sense of crisis. After all, this Alaric Jennings was younger than him, not bad-looking, and came from a good family. The child seemed to like him a lot. A man competing with him for Raina offered no assurance of winning. "Mr. and Mrs. Everett." Alaric Jennings ignored the murderous look from Adrian Grant and stepped forward to greet Mr. and Mrs. Everett. Mr. and Mrs. Everett invited him to sit down. Seeing that The Grant Family still refused to leave, stubbornly sticking around, Mr. Everett wore a stern face. "You know in your heart how your family treated Raina before; now, finding out Evelyn is Adrian’s child, you run over to make peace." "You never respected Raina or the child." "Not to mention we won’t persuade Raina, no matter what choice she makes in the end, we will firmly support her and stand by her." "Please leave, we have guests here." Mrs. Grant opened her mouth to curry favor again, but Alaric Jennings was quicker to speak: "Mr. and Mrs. Everett, I happen to have something to discuss with you, I don’t mind Raina’s ex-husband being present." Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Alaric Jennings. Alaric Jennings sat there calmly, took out a bank card, and handed it to Mr. and Mrs. Everett, speaking gently: ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Mr. and Mrs. Everett, this contains all my assets, about five billion." "I am formally proposing marriage to you, five billion as a bride price, hoping you will grant your blessing for Raina and I." However, upon hearing this. Everyone was stunned. Before Mr. and Mrs. Everett could react, Adrian Grant immediately spoke to stop him. "Alaric Jennings, why are you making a fuss? I am Evelyn’s father, do you think I would allow Raina to marry you and let my child call you dad?" Saying this, he lacked confidence. After all, he and Raina were already divorced. And indirectly caused the death of his own daughter. Raina hated him to death. How could she possibly reconcile with him? But Evelyn is a Grant child, they must bring her home. "President Grant, what are you to Raina now? Do you have the right to stop Raina from doing what she wants?" Alaric Jennings sneered at him, "Not to mention you two are long divorced, and at Evelyn’s age, he won’t ever accept you." "When we were out playing today, Evelyn even urged us to get married quickly, lest we be entangled by someone like you." "For a three-year-old child to say this, do you know how much he dislikes you?" A few words left Adrian Grant feeling deeply embarrassed. Yet he held onto his pride, unwilling to concede, saying: "Children don’t understand, did you really take what he said seriously? Anyway, he is my child, Alaric Jennings, I advise you to leave and not meddle in other people’s affairs." Or else face the consequences. Alaric Jennings wasn’t foolish, perceiving the underlying threat. But had he been afraid, he wouldn’t have left everything in Yarrow and brought his mere five billion to Southgate. "President Grant, you’re so authoritative; I just don’t believe you could eliminate me like you did to Aurora." He also refused to back down, deliberately bringing up Aurora to block him. Hearing his daughter’s name, Adrian Grant felt a sharp pain in his chest. The agony spread inside his chest cavity. He opened his mouth to speak, but his throat swelled so much that he couldn’t make a sound. Mrs. Grant immediately defended her son, "How can Aurora’s death be blamed on Adrian." "If we had known both children were Grant’s, how could we have treated them like that." Looking at Mrs. Everett, Mrs. Grant humbly pleaded: "We are all parents and want the best for our children, Evelyn is still young and truly needs to grow up in a complete family." "We’ve known each other for many years, both families understand one another, can Raina and the child return to Adrian?" Mrs. Everett straightened her back for the first time in front of Mrs. Grant. "My husband said, we respect Raina’s choice, we will support her in whatever she chooses, talking to me is useless." To show his stance, Mr. Everett picked up Alaric Jennings’s card. "Your proposal was somewhat sudden, but I can see Raina has feelings for you, as long as Raina is willing to be with you, we will support both of you." He was doing this intentionally for The Grant Family to see. Of course, they also knew Alaric Jennings was doing it deliberately in front of The Grant Family. Then they should cooperate with each other. Adrian Grant disagreed and strongly opposed: "You don’t know this person at all, how can you let Raina be with him? As far as I know, the Jennings Family is very concerned about appearances, they would never allow Raina to enter their household." "No need for President Grant to worry about that." Alaric Jennings took over the conversation, confronting Adrian Grant with equal force. "You should think about why your child and Raina dislike you so much, they don’t even want to look at you more than once. I think to avoid disgust, your family should leave first!" Not wanting to argue with this family, Alaric Jennings looked at Mr. and Mrs. Everett and stood up: "Uncle, Aunt, you stay seated, I’ll go upstairs to accompany Raina and the child." Mr. and Mrs. Everett still had a good attitude towards Alaric Jennings. At least they found him more agreeable than Adrian Grant. After watching Alaric head upstairs, Mrs. Everett looked at Adrian Grant’s suddenly ashen face and sighed: "You’ve seen it, my daughter is not lacking in suitors, you should go back, I’m sorry I cannot fulfill your request." She signaled her son to see the guests out. Ethan Everett sat there, absent-minded. His mind was completely occupied with thoughts of Isabelle Everett, not paying attention to the conversation between the two families. His mother nudged him. He lazily responded to Adrian Grant: "You guys should head back first, we’ll discuss it further later." Adrian Grant shamelessly sat there, thinking of Alaric Jennings being around and proposing to the Everetts, he felt so sour inside that he was about to explode. What if Raina, overnight, takes the child and runs off with Alaric Jennings? Then who does he cry to? He can only feel at ease by keeping an eye on mother and child. "You staying will only make my daughter dislike you more." Mr. Everett, with a stern face, wanted to tear things apart and have the Grant Family kicked out, yet was afraid it would affect the cooperation between the two companies. Sometimes, facing such shameless people, they’re truly helpless. "How about this, I’ll leave with his father, allowing Adrian to stay, just for the sake of years of friendship, give Adrian another chance to prove himself, okay?" Mrs. Grant indicated her indecisive, silent husband would be no use, so she pulled him up to leave. Before leaving, she told the Everetts: "That kid offered you five billion for the proposal—it’s rather paltry; as long as you agree for Raina to return to the Grant Family with Evelyn, the Grants are willing to offer half our assets as compensation." As long as Evelyn returns to the Grant Family and acknowledges her roots. Forget half of the Grant Family assets, even the entire inheritance rights of the Grant Family would be Evelyn’s. Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Everett were very displeased, Mrs. Grant didn’t say more and quickly pulled her husband to leave first. Adrian Grant just refused to leave. Even though no one in the Everett Family gave him a friendly face. He shamelessly acted like he belonged, asking the housekeeper to prepare a guest room for him to stay and watch over Raina and the child. Mr. and Mrs. Everett and Ethan Everett were helpless, they had to let him be. After playing all day, Evelyn was sleepy and had already fallen asleep. Raina Lowell was originally accompanying her, but was called to another side of the balcony garden by Alaric Jennings. Alaric Jennings confessed about proposing to the elders downstairs, with five billion. Raina Lowell didn’t blame him. While they were chatting, Mrs. Everett, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed over by the housekeeper. Raina Lowell quickly went over to greet her, asking her mother, "Did that family leave?" Mrs. Everett sighed, looking affectionately at her daughter: "Mrs. Grant and the others have left, but Adrian Grant won’t leave, he insists on staying, we really have no way with him." She glanced at Alaric Jennings. Hoping that if the two young people were truly in love, it wouldn’t be bad for them to be together soon. That might make Adrian Grant give up. Raina Lowell always knew that sometimes Adrian Grant was quite inconsiderate. Didn’t expect he could be shameless to such an extent. Actually sticking around , not leaving. What is his purpose in staying? Begging her for reconciliation? Wanting her to take Evelyn back to Lowell Manor with him? After a brief silence, Raina Lowell said, "If he wants to stay, let him stay, we can just pretend he’s not here." Knowing her parents had tried their best, she had no reason to blame them. Holding her mother’s hand, before saying anything else, Mrs. Everett worriedly urged first: "Raina, you won’t leave us with Evelyn because Adrian Grant won’t leave, will you?" "Please don’t go; Dad and Mom really can’t be without you. If you leave, Mom has no hope to live." Raina Lowell had indeed thought about leaving. The words were already on her lips. But hearing her mother’s pleading made her swallow the words back down. To not sadden her mother, she could only reluctantly agree. At this point, the housekeeper reminded: "Madam, Miss, President Grant is coming over." Everyone looked up to see Adrian Grant in a classic black suit, elegantly walking towards them.
