    Steven said, “Why would I butter you up? I’ve seen my fair share of people and things, but do any of


    them hold a candle to you?”


    Grandpa Duran said. “When I first saw you, you didn’t say a word thought you might’ve had a


    personality transnt or something. But nah, I was just


    overthinking. You’re still the same old chatterbox, Steven You’re so talkative, it’s getting on my old


    nerves”


    Steven said. “Well, Marc is always the introverted one, and Lucas isn’t exactly a chatterbox either. If I


    don’t keep the conversation going, hanging out with these guys would be as dull as dishwater. Would


    you think that’s fun?”


    Grandpa Duran said, “From what you’re saying, you seem pretty indispensable.”


    Steven shot back, “Of course, I’m the most important one!”

    Grandpa Duran was like, “Alright, alright. Stop tooting your own horn. The main event today is me


    officially adopting Nelly as my granddaughter Once the ceremony is over, y’all can go wherever you


    like.”


    Steven asked, “Hey, Old Duran, does this mean Cornelia will have to take yourst name?”


    Grandpa Duran replied, “I’m not that unreasonable. I just want to adopt Cornelia as my granddaughter


    so I can look after her a bit more.”


    Steven said, “Look Marc, Old Duran wants to take care of Cornelia. Aren’t you worried?”


    Marcus just nced at him, not uttering a word.


    Grandpa Duran threatened, “Keep running your mouth, and I swear I’ll sew it shut.”


    Steven was like, “Okay, okay. I’ll shut my trap.”


    Then, he turned to Hannah, pulling her into his arms, “Honey, if you get any scripts rted to this in the


    future, you can ask Cornelia to pull some strings with Grandpa Duran and get you a behind–the–


    scenes look”


    Hannah had recently been approached with a script like this, but for certain reasons, she wasn’t too


    keen on it, so she had her agent turn it down.


    Grandpa Duran wanted to cheer Comelia up, “Hannah, Rosie, you guys are Nelly’s friends, and that


    makes you my friends. If you ever need any help, don’t hesitate


    to ask.”


    Hannah said, “Then I’ll take this opportunity to thank you in advance, Grandpa Duran.”


    Rosie said, “Grandpa Duran, I don’t need anything from you. I just hope that no matter who Cornelia


    bes the granddaughter of, she won’t forget our pact to hang out often.”


    Grandpa Duran said, “Of course


    Everyone was having a lively chat, but the star of the day, Comelia, hadn’t said a word. She sat next to


    Marcus, her hand tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, revealing her inner turmoil to Marcus.


    Normally, Marcus would never force Cornelia to do anything she didn’t want to do. But this was


    different. To be more precise, Marcus had a hand in Grandpa Duran’s decision to adopt Cornelia as his


    granddaughter.


    He took Cornelia’s hand and gently patted it, “Cornelia, don’t be nervous!”


    Cornelia moved a bit closer to him, “I’m just an ordinary person. The Duran family is way out of my


    league. How could I not be nervous?”


    Previously, Cornelia agreed to be Grandpa Duran’s granddaughter in a fit of emotion after seeing


    how pitiful he was However, when she cooled down, she began to regret her decision.


    She thought, maybe Grandpa Duran was just acting on impulse when he decided to adopt her. After a


    few days, if he lost interest, he would definitely regret it. If the adoption ceremony was already done


    and he regretted it, it would be awkward for him to tell her. Then, he would definitely feel guilty.


    Marcus lifted his hand and gently ruffled Cornelia’s hair, then suddenly asked, “Do you want a piece of


    the Duran family fortune?”
