After the police announced the results of their investigation, the earlier news regarding Morris Corporation was deleted, and their share prices rose once again. In fact, it became even higher than before. Of the netizens who were previously on Desmond’s side, some still believed the conspiracy theory, while others shut their mouths.
Regardless, this brief interlude did not seem to affect Morris Corporation in the slightest. In the evening, Alpha King Larry gave Zeke a call and found out that Nelly was the one who led to Desmond’s capture. Upon hearing the news, Alpha King Larry was stunned for a long while. “Where did you find such an amazing granddaughter-in-law, Alpha Morris? In my view, she will be able to hold the Morris fort down easily,” Zeke praised.
Alpha King Larry slowly regained his senses and instantly replied, “You’re right!” “She is meticulous yet clear-headed. What a brilliant woman, indeed. I even thought of hiring her as my assistant!” “No, you can’t,” Alpha King Larry rushed to object. “Police forces like you have to be on the frontline every single day. You even have to interact with criminals! It’s so dangerous. I can’t let my granddaughter-in-law be in such dangerous situations. Don’t even think about it.” Zeke’s laughter sounded over the phone. “I knew you wouldn’t agree to it. However, I heard that she and Alpha Kilian are divorced. Do you still have a say in what she does?”
Even when the topic was brought up, Alpha King Larry remained adamant. “So what if they’re divorced? She’s still part of the Morris family. Moreover, they’re going to remarry soon anyway, so stop daydreaming.” The man on the other end of the line laughed in amusement. “All right, all right. I won’t bring it up anymore, but do help me to keep an eye out for young single ladies who are just as brilliant as your granddaughter-in-law. My son’s still single, after all.”
Alpha King Larry quickly replied, “As long as you leave Nelly alone, I’d be happy to help!” “Okay, I’m counting on you.” Alpha King Larry was incredibly delighted. “All right, Alpha Morris. I have to go to a meeting now. See you soon!” “Okay, go ahead.” With that, he hung up.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Alpha Wade was peeling apples when he noticed the joyous expression on Alpha King Larry’s face. “Since when is Nelly remarrying into the Morris family? Don’t even think about it,” he couldn’t help but say coldly. In front of others, Alpha King Larry could put up a stubborn front, but he became meek in the presence of Alpha Wade. “If I didn’t say that, Zeke might actually recruit Nelly! It’s such a dangerous profession. Do you want her to be on the front line?” Alpha King Larry replied. “He was just joking.” “Since when did Zeke joke about things like this?” Alpha King Larry retorted. “It doesn’t matter whether he’s joking or not. More importantly, are you sure you don’t have that thought in mind?” Alpha Wade asked. The old man pursed his lips. After all, he knew it was impossible to deny it. Everyone could clearly tell how much adoration he had for Nelly. “Nelly is such an accomplished woman. It’s only natural that I want her to marry into the family, don’t you think so?” Alpha King Larry decided to change his tactic instead.
Alpha Wade rolled his eyes at the old man. Although Alpha King Larry’s words sounded convincing, those were different matters altogether. Noticing that Alpha Wade was remaining silent, Alpha King Larry added, “All right, fine. Just look at that expression on your face. Let me tell you that Nelly has been a huge help to the Morris family. It was because of her that we were able to survive this predicament unscathed.” The knife in Alpha Wade’s hands paused at his words. It was only after he had listened to the entire story that he breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was dangerous, Nelly did not go to extreme lengths to overcome the situation. At that thought, an indescribable feeling rose in Alpha Wade’s heart. “I’ll call Alpha Kilian and get him to invite Nelly back for dinner. We have to celebrate!” Having said that, Alpha King Larry rose to his feet to get his phone.
Right at that instant, a car could be heard pulling in. “I think it’s Mr. Alpha Kilian,” Dan reported as he took a glimpse outside the house. Just as he said that, Alpha Kilian was seen walking into the house together with Nelly. Such a good-looking pair! It should be a crime for them not to be together. Alpha King Larry turned to look at Dan. “Tell the chef to cook more scrumptious dishes tonight. We shall have a feast! The Morris family can finally have a reunion meal.” As he observed the jubilant expression on Alpha King Larry’s face, Dan could not help but share his sentiments. “I’ll get to it at once.” “Cook more dishes that Nelly likes,” Alpha King Larry quickly added. “Got it!” Dan replied merrily. Right then, Nelly and Alpha Kilian walked over to them. “Grandpa, Alpha Jackson,” Alpha Kilian greeted. Alpha Wade looked at him and nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, Alpha King Larry quickly gestured for Nelly to come over. “Come and have a seat, Nelly!” Nelly glanced at Alpha Kilian before walking over to sit on the couch. “Alpha Morris.” “I’ve heard the news from Zeke. It’s all thanks to you that we managed to solve this issue. You really are the Morris family’s lucky star!” Alpha King Larry was genuinely joyful as he praised her. Hearing that, Nelly looked up at Alpha Kilian. She was not someone who would take the credit that she did not deserve. Moreover, she was crystal clear about how the problem arose in the first place. Nelly turned back to look at Alpha King Larry and replied in a soft voice, “I only helped because I felt uncomfortable about the situation. However, I know that even if I didn’t help, the Morris family and Morris Corporation would not be affected by it at all as Alpha Kilian is more than capable of handling this issue.”
Everyone present knew deep down that whatever she said was right. Similarly, Alpha King Larry also agreed with her words. As he had been in the industry for a long time, there was not anything that he had not seen or experienced before. Regardless, when he heard Nelly’s reply, he felt even more delighted. Nelly is a humble woman who doesn’t let the praises get to her head. She is exactly what the Morris family is looking for in a daughter-in-law.
At that moment, Alpha King Larry was even more sure that apart from Nelly, no one else was qualified enough to be the lady of the Morris family. Even though those were the thoughts in his mind, Alpha King Larry did not openly admit it. “Well, there has been so much going on in the company and at home. I’ve never even seen him lift a finger to solve the issue.” As he spoke, he grinned at Nelly. “No matter what, you have helped us a great deal. I am genuinely happy and thankful for you. Therefore, I’ve already asked the chef to prepare more food today. Do stay and have dinner with us.”
Since Alpha King Larry had already extended the invitation to her, Nelly could only nod and agree, “Okay.” Alpha King Larry’s grin was so wide that his eyes narrowed into a line. Alpha Kilian, who had been standing by the side, also curled his lips up into a faint smile.
Suddenly, Donna popped her head out of her room. The moment she saw Nelly, she exclaimed, “Nelly, you’re back!” She then ran down the stairs and pounced into Nelly’s arms. “Where did you go? I missed you so much!” Tony and Ben heard the commotion and walked out. When they noticed Nelly’s return, they, too, dashed down the stairs. “Nelly, you’re back!”
