Chapter 9 Why Regret It?

As for the most powerful families, the Payne family and the Herring family were definitely at the top, as well as

the Grant family. The Cooper family could barely enter the circle. The Payne family was the most powerful one

among them.

The Payne family had its secret backups in Nemmington. Harold was themanofthemoment in Melcester when he

was young.

As Harold was getting older, his health condition was getting worse. He moved to Nemmington for recuperation

ten years ago and rarely cback since then. Younger generations heard his nbut hardly met him in

person.

Harold was in a good mood when seeing them. He said in a loud voice with a smile, "I cback to

bring my granddaughter home."

"Granddaughter?" Oliva looked at Myrna, who was quietly pushing Harold's wheelchair.

Having fair skin and a slim figure, Myrna appeared stunningly beautiful.

"So it's the girl. She's so beautiful!" Oliva wasn't exaggerating. The Payne family all had delicate facial features,

but Myrna's were exceptional.

Harold couldn't help but laugh. "She's so young. It's a bit early to think about appearance."

Despite saying so, Harold didn't bother to hide his pride. He introduced Oliva to Myrna, "Myrna, this is Oliva."

Myrna raised her eyebrows slightly and said sweetly, "Hello, Oliva."

Oliva immediately took off the bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Myrna' hand. She said guilty, "Oh my,

you're so sweet, Myrna. | didn't know your grandfather took you here for lunch Chapter 9 Why Regret It?

today. Otherwise, | would have prepared a good gift for you. | have worn this bracelet for years, and it's very

precious to me. It can bring people good luck. | hope you'll like it."

Myrna tried to decline it but failed. After Harold persuaded her, Myrna accepted the bracelet against her will.

After sending Myrna a gift at their first meeting, Oliva began chatting with Harold contentedly.

Members of the Stark family, including Celia, were all stunned. Amy and Luther were especially surprised.

Their faces were pale and sullen. Luther stood there still, hesitating whether to talk to them.

Stephanie felt as if being struck by lightning. Her delicate face was as pale as a sheet.

She pinched her fingers and murmured in disbelief in a voice audible only to herse'f, "Aren't Myrna's parents

from River Town? How could Oliva know her family?" Chapter 9 Why Regret 117

It seemed that Oliva not only knew him but even deliberately acted to be close to the elderly man next to Myrna.

How did Myrna know such powerful people?"

ork

Oliva chatted with Harold for a while and then asked Myrna, "Is Myrna a high school student now?"

"Yes, and she's about to start her senior year, Harold replied with a smile.

Oliva looked at Myrna and asked, "Which high school?"

Harold didn't hide anything and answered casually, "Melcester Central High School. She took a break from school

a year ago and had to choose a new one. | asked her opinion, and she thought Melcester Central High School

was okay. Then she temporarily stays here for school."

Stephanie and the Stark family all heard the name

of Melcester Central High School despite their absent-mindedness. Stephanie's lips finally drained of color. She

could barely stand.

She thought, "Melcester Central High School?

Is Myrna going to study at Melcester Central High School?"

When she was taking the high school entrance examination, her family had worked hard to get a place for her in

Melcester Central High School, but Harold sounded like it was a piece of cake for him. The huge gap dazed her.

Stephanie was not in the mood to listen to anything Oliva said afterward.

It wasn't until Myrna followed Harold and the others that Stephanie cback to her senses. She heard her

grandma, Amy, greeting Oliva, who was of a higher status than them.

"Who was that elderly man just now?"

Oliva didn't know their relationship with Myrna,

so she replied casually, "Oh, you mean Harold? He's an old friend."

Amy asked doubtfully, "What kind of friend? Why haven't you brought him up before?"

"| seldom see him, so | didn't mention his nspecifically." Oliva and Amy had a good relationship, but after all,

the Stark family couldn't reach the real top circles in Melcester. Harold had sconnections with the higher-

ups, so even Oliva must be cautious. She didn't want to reveal Harold's identity to irrelevant people, so she just

smiled and said, "Well, Harold can be considered as my teacher."

Oliva loved painting. Since Harold was a master of painting, Oliva had asked him for advice several times.

It was fair for her to call Harold her teacher.

"| see." Amy finally understood everything.

Myrna's poor relatives were from River Town. If Harold was a good teacher, he would be well-

known in the local area.

Amy knew that Oliva was obsessed with painting. Judging from the elderly man's age, he might have some

achievements in this field.

A few TV series were often about skind of expert appearing in the countryside. Unfortunately, Harold wasn't

a famous teacher.

"I heard before that one of his biological granddaughters was lost when little. | didn't expect that after such a

long time, Harold would finally find her.

"Since the girl has been found after she got lost for that long, her real grandfather will definitely treat her as his

favorite.

"That girl is so lucky. | heard that Harold found the information about his granddaughter on the Internet. The girl

posted how her adoptive family treated her on the Internet. It can be seen that she wasn't treated fairly... | don't

know if that family will regret it one day." Chapter 9 Why Regret 187

The Stark family members felt dizzy as they couldn't believe what was going on. They were so embarrassed and

ashamed that they couldn't even say a word.

Luther's face burned because he had just thought that Myrna was chasing him to ask for money. His heart, liver,

spleen, stomach, and kidneys seemed to be displaced. He was too embarrassed to give

any answer.

Amy, in contrast, looked coldly at Myrna's disappearing back with an unfathomable expression. "He's just a

teacher. Why would we regret it?"

"Teacher? Does Amy misunderstand something?" Oliva wondered.

Since Myrna had left, Oliva didn't say anything

more.
