SWNOVELS Chapter 476
Chapter 476 Merger Completed
This is the first time I heard Joe mention Mrs
Grace
Grace Hoffman's name became taboo after Morris remarried. In fact, Joe had never even met Aaron's mother when he was young, but he always held great respect for the late Mrs. Grace because of Aaron
Aaron once told me that even though old Morris forbade everyone from mentioning the years of Mrs. Grace, Joe would still visit her grave on her anniversary every year. He alone carried a burden of guilt that was not his own for his father, which is one of the reasons why I later tried so hard to show him as family
I rubbed my eyes, trying to hide my reddened eye sockets, and nodded vigorously when Joe looked over. "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you all, and thank you for everything you have done for Aaron."
After leaving Morris' mansion that day, I immediately went to the hospital
Although Maria still had a displeased expression towards me, she refrained from saying the impolite words she had said to me in the morning, as Mr. Morris was present. Even though there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes when Mr. Morris suggested that she should leave our conversation, she still complied with his request and walked out of the ward
It seems that she hasn't made any progress at all after being married to old Morris for so many
years
If she could have used her talent for pretending to be loving in business a little bit, she would probably have owned several subsidiary companies by now, instead of being dissatisfied with the distribution of her husband's property and yet unable to speak out because she still depends on him for a living
I watched Maria's departure direction thoughtfully, unsure whether to applaud for her relationship with old Morris or to sigh for her foolishness
However, soon enough, the voice of old Morris brought me back to my senses
"Have you made up your mind so quickly, Olive? I advise you to think it through carefully, don't just seek instant gratification."
He probably misunderstood, but he is also right
According to my consistent personality, I would probably have refused outright when faced with such a problem
But today, I had to pretend to be in pain and let go: "Yes, [have thought it through. I don't know if Aaron can come back, so I have to consider the future of me and the children. I agree to merge the assets of GHY Group into Morris Group, and if there are no issues on your end, we can sign the contract anytime."
And the faster, the better
Of course, I didn't say the last sentence, I couldn't appear too eager
However, those dark circles from lack of sleep helped me play the role of a weakling in front of old Morris. He wasn't too surprised by my
compromise, as if everything was expected
On the day of signing the merger agreement, various news media outlets were crowded outside the Morris Group's building
Cinder dropped me off here, and I got out of the car wearing exaggerated sunglasses. I kept my head down all the way, ignoring the reporters, trying my best to appear like a helpless person without a husband to support me
As a professional manager of the company, Daisy also attended the merger meeting with the company seal
When she saw me, she had a worried expression on her face and wanted to say something to me
However, when I took off my sunglasses and revealed a tired look, she ultimately only asked one question, "Have you really made up your
mind, Olive?"
I gave a positive answer, and Daisy's gaze dimmed accordingly
GHY Group is the company that she and Aaron have been running together until today. If we talk about the emotional attachment to the company, she is more deeply attached than me
But Daisy has always been a rational and boundary-conscious person, she knows what role she plays

Legally, Aaron and I were married, and I was also his authorized representative with full power of attorney. Even if Daisy was heartbroken by my decisions, I would not let emotions override the rules
At this moment, I suddenly realized that today's
scene was indeed too cruel for her
But for the authenticity of this play, I had to call her. In fact, the more genuine her heartache was, the faster the doubts in old Morris' mind dissipated, and Aaron and Joe's plan could be executed more smoothly
I now understand very well why Aaron kept it a secret from me a few days ago
Fortunately, the agreement was signed very smoothly, and Daisy, recommended by me, will continue to serve as the manager of several companies. This 1s the best way I can think of to minimize any major changes in her life
When she came over to thank me, I turned my head and tears welled up in my eyes. I knew that everything would be captured by the present journalists, so I didn't say anything to her
Instead, I repeatedly told her to never lose faith in GHY
