    Grandpa Duran continued, “Comelia, just a heads up, you’ve agreed to be my granddaughter. No take


    backs.”


    Comelia responded, “Grandpa Dumn, a promise is a promise. But, could you perhaps give me a few


    more days to mull it over?”


    Grandpa Duran questioned. “If you’re not nning on backing out, what’s there to ponder?”


    Come fell silent. Grandpa Duran had a point

    Grandpa Duran then tned to persuade her, “Since you’ve already agreed to be my granddaughter, we


    gotta carry out this adoption ceremony sooner orter. Better to sort it out sooner thanter, night? It’s


    one less thing to worry about. You guys with me on this?”


    Grandpa Duran was a smooth talker, not only did he coax Cornelia, he tried to rally everyone to


    convince her as well.


    Steven chimed in, “It’s a good thing, indeed better sooner thanter”


    Comelia fell silent again. Why was he suddenly piping up now?


    Cornelia looked over at Marcus, knowing he probably wouldn’t agree to her adopting a stranger with no


    blood ties as a rtive. But to her surprise, Marcus was even more gung ho than her, “Grandpa


    Duran’s right, better sooner thanter. Let’s get this done today.”


    Hannah added. “Comelia, since you’ve promised Grandpa Duran, just go through with the adoption


    ceremony ASAP.”


    In Hannah’s view, the Durans were influential and powerful. Once Grandpa Duran adopted Cornelia,


    she’d be under the Duran’s protection. Even if her marriage with Marcus fell apart, no one would dare


    mess with her. All in all, Hannah saw this as a blessing in disguise.


    Rosie agreed, “I’m in.”


    Everyone was on board. Cornelia had no other choice but to pin herst hope on Grandpa Duran,


    “Grandpa Duran, this isn’t a small matter Are you sure you don’t want to think it over?”


    Grandpa Duran replied, “If everyone’s free today, why not join us for a trip to the Capital. The more the


    merrier for the adoption ceremony”


    Cornelia fell silent again.


    So, the seven of them boarded Grandpa Duran’s private ne to the Capital. Afternding, they exited


    through the VIP channel and got into the business van Grandpa Duran had arranged.


    After around half an hour drive, they arrived at a vi district. The van continued along the tree–lined


    avenue within the district.


    Everyone couldn’t help but admire the Duran’s high status. Their residence had tight security and an


    advanced security system. There were guards stationed everywhere, even a fly wouldn’t be able to get


    in without permission.


    Once on the ne, Steven snapped back to normal and chatted with Marcus and Lucas for two hours.


    At this point, Steven disyed his social skills, “Grandpa Duran, can we ask the driver to slow down a


    bit? I’d love to take in the scenery.”


    Grandpa Duran responded, “Slow down.”


    Steven rolled down the window and looked around, “Grandpa Duran, if it weren’t for you, we might


    never have had the chance to see a ce like this in our lifetime” Grandpa Duran retorted, “As the


    CEO of the Dixon Group, there shouldn’t be anything you can’t do. You don’t need to butter me up.”
