Chapter 447: The Mysterious Family
Olivia was completely unaware of the thoughts of the two people.
On the way to the restaurant, Olivia smiled and chatted with Harold, “Why did you suddenly want to have a meal together today? Did you just come back from Sylvania City?”
Harold nodded noncommittally, “I just got back last night. I saw Mr. Lee off and then boarded the plane. It was already midnight when I returned.”
Olivia thought about the time he sent her a message, it must have been right after he got off the plane.
She wondered if there was something important.
“Mr. Lee asked me to greet you on his behalf and inquire about how things are going at your research institute,” Harold added.
Seeing how much Mr. Lee cared about her, Olivia’s smile grew even brighter. “Thanks to you and Mr. Lee that night, those herbal merchants might have hesitated, but Mr. Lee’s few words made them agree so readily because they respected him.”
Harold nodded, “It’s good that things are resolved. I just hope Mrs. Blackwood won’t trouble you again.”
During this period, Harold had always felt indignant for Olivia.
He could roughly guess why Lily targeted Olivia, it was nothing more than resentment over Olivia’s sudden departure back then and her current closeness with Victor.
But in his view, Olivia was the victim in the past incident, and even now, her closeness with Victor wasn’t her fault.
Rather than wasting time on Olivia, Lily should focus more on Victor.
He had wanted to help Olivia, but he wasn’t the head of the Ramos family, and besides, the Ramos family wasn’t a match for the Leer family. Even if he wanted to help, he was powerless.
Fortunately, things were resolved now.
Mentioning Lily made Olivia feel heavy-hearted as well. “I don’t know either, but I’ve tried my best to stay out of her sight. I hope she can forget about me.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Especially during this period, the opportunity to volunteer with the Hargraves family was rare. She also wanted to compete for a collaboration spot with the Hargraves family afterward.
If she missed this opportunity because of Lily’s trouble, Olivia didn’t know what she would do.
Seeing her worried expression, Harold felt a pang of regret, thinking he shouldn’t have brought it up.
The car fell into a brief silence.
After a moment, Olivia composed herself and casually changed the topic, “By the way, senior, is there something you wanted to discuss since you suddenly asked me to have a meal together today?”
The last time they had a meal together was when Harold invited her to an academic exchange conference in Norville.
She wondered what it was about this time.
Hearing this, Harold also collected his thoughts and brought up the main topic. “You’ve been abroad all these years, so you might not have heard of the Hargraves family. They are one of the top traditional Chinese medicine families in the country. However, they have been reclusive in recent years and rarely come out, they are a very mysterious family.”
The Hargraves family again.
This was the second time recently that someone mentioned the Hargraves family to her.
Olivia couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “I’ve heard of them, and I’ve always been interested in their ancient medical books. When I was abroad, I hoped to have the chance to visit them but never got the opportunity. However, I heard they are coming out for a volunteer clinic soon.”
Hearing this, Harold raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with some surprise, wondering where she got her information from.
“What I wanted to talk to you about today is exactly this matter.”
