    Chapter 71 ying the Matchmaker


    “I sure have an exceptional grandson,” Merlin said while stroking his beard. He then handed Ss a


    copper key while staring at thetter. “Go get me the red folder in the drawer.” Despite his surprise,


    Ss took the key and took out the folder after unlocking the drawer. “Do you mean this?”


    “Yeah, and you shall be keeping this from now on,” Merlin said with a nod.


    “What’s this?” Upon opening it, Ss’s heart skipped a beat as he realized that it was his grandfather’s


    will, which brought a frown to his face. “Grandpa, what are you doing? Why would you write a will when


    you’re fine?”

    Merlin got ahold of Ss’s hand as thetter tried to tuck the folder back into his hands, “Don’t be


    nervous, as alll ask of you in the meantime is to hold onto it. My day wille now that I am old, so


    you should think about thepany even though you don’t personally care about the wealth. To me,


    you’re the best candidate for the president of thispany The shares that your grandmother and I


    hold add up to one-fourth of the total number of shares, which would guarantee your acquisition of the


    position, with one added condition.”


    A look of anger crossed Ss’s face as he looked closer at the additional terms listed upon hearing


    Merlin’s words. “You mean I need to get married before I could inherit thepany? Are you sure you


    want me as the president?”


    Merlin wore a mischievous smirk as he responded, “I’ll try my best to live on while you do your best to


    aplish that task!”


    “You should have someone else inherit it, then,” Ss said.


    As anxiety kicked in, Merlin pped him on the back. “Are you nning to piss me off so much so that


    you could inherit my wealth after I die of a stroke?” “How could I when I can’t even meet your


    requirements?” Ss was exasperated, Merlin looked between Gianna and Ss while signaling to the


    latter. “You should try harder then, you hopeless bum! I did a far better job back then!”


    So he wants me to court Gianna! The realization gave Ss conflicted feelings. Didn’t we only meet a


    few times? Why does he have such a good impression of her?


    Meanwhile, Gianna stood awkwardly as if having heard something that she shouldn’t have, wondering


    if she would be silenced. This old man! Why didn’t you have me give you some space when you are


    talking about such important matters? The document was handed to Ss by Merlin, and he gave Ss


    a naughty wink at the same time. “Hold onto and don’t let anyone discover this, or else they would say


    that I’m being partial to you. However, one day when I’m dead, you should show this if anybody


    questions your im to the position.” Those words left a bad taste in Ss’s mouth as he sat on his


    grandfather’s bed. “Grandpa! Don’t spout nonsense! Didn’t you hear what Doctor Aubrey told you?


    You’d better try your best to live as long as you can so that you can witness my wedding!”


    “If that’s the case, you should work fast to deliver your promise!” Merlin nodded as he spoke before


    turning to Gianna. “Bring South to visit me during the holidays, as I like him a lot.”


    “Alright,” Gianna agreed.


    Merlin heaved a sigh. “Although I no longer associate myself with worldly matters, I do have a clear


    grasp of things, so you don’t need to feel uneasy about it. I know you’re a good kid, as I would be long


    dead if it wasn’t for your constant visits. You canugh all you want, but for families like us, familial


    rtionshipse after benefits of any form. However, Rocky isn’t blinded by these benefits, so you


    can work on building a rtionship together.”


    Why does it feel like he is ying the matchmaker? Gianna responded stiffly as she blushed.
