Chapter 290 Don't Take Me for a Fool
"Why?" Greg was puzzled, looking at his grandfather with a questioning expression, awaiting an explanation.
However, after giving him a glance, Cliff calmly said, "Isn't it great to make more friends?"
Greg was very confused.
"Grandpa, please don't take me for a fool," he said speechlessly. Make friends? Since when did he need to make friends like this?
Cliff cleared his throat, feeling a bit embarrassed about being seen through. "I just think Evelyn is a nice girl and I want you to bring her to Colombia, as a way to deepen your relationship."
"Weren't you joking earlier?"
Greg was even more confused. Although Cliff had mentioned before in Moris City that he should pursue Evelyn, they both knew it was just a joke and Greg hadn't taken it seriously.
But now, after such a long time, the old man suddenly brought it up again. It seemed fishy.
Greg's questioning annoyed Cliff a bit. "Why do you ask so many questions? If I tell you to go, then go. Why so many words?"
"I'm not going!" Greg shook his head. "I don't like her, so why should I deepen any relationship with her?"
"Then who do you like?" Cliff asked.
Greg remained silent.
"Do you even know what 'like' means?" Cliff asked again.
Greg continued to remain silent.
"So, since you don't even understand what 'like' means, how can you say that you don't like Evelyn? Perhaps you like her, but you just haven't realized it yet," Cliff said earnestly.
With these words, Greg himself became confused.
Cliff likes Evelyn?
Seeing Greg's dazed expression, Cliff took the opportunity to continue, saying, "So, it's not a bad thing to get to know her better."
"Oh, okay," Greg seemed convinced by his grandfather's words.
As he turned to leave the study, he still felt something was off. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, turned back to his grandfather, and asked, "What's so special about her? Why do you insist that I pursue her?"
"You brat..."
"Grandpa, I know you too well. You're never up early without a reason," Greg snapped out of it and started to speculate.
Cliff was infuriated by his words but ultimately chose not to continue coaxing him. "If you marry her, the Hamilton family will undoubtedly become one of the top ten families in Colombia, alongside the elite families. The Hamilton family may be untouchable to those people in Moris City, but here in Colombia, where there are wealthy people everywhere, the Hamilton family is at best a second-rate family. There are a group of first-rate families above them, and at the very top are the Ten Great Families of Colombia, which you don't even qualify to meet."
With these words, Greg was stunned.
Perhaps to those in Moris City, the Hamilton family was already an unattainable force that they shouldn't provoke. But in Colombia, where the wealthy resided, the Hamilton family was just a mediocre family at best.
Not only were they overshadowed by a group of first-rate families, but there were also the Ten Great Families of Colombia, to which he didn't even have the qualifications to get close.
Now, Grandpa is actually saying that if he manages to marry Evelyn, the Hamilton family will become one of the top ten families in Colombia under his control. How is that possible?
"Grandpa, that Evelyn..."
"No need to ask further, you will only have the qualification to ask if you can win her over. If you haven't succeeded, it's pointless to ask, doesn't have any meaning," Cliff waved his hand at him. That's all he could say.
But even this, it was the old man from Moris City who wanted his help. That's why he revealed it to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known Evelyn's identity until now.
But now that he knows, he certainly won't let it go.
It's an opportunity to become one of the top ten families in Colombia.
Greg remained silent for a long time, as if he was conflicted about whether or not to sacrifice his own happiness in exchange for the Hamilton family becoming one of the top ten families.
This kind of internal struggle didn't last long, and he almost quickly made up his mind.
What a load of nonsense happiness?
What could be more attractive than making the Hamilton family one of the top ten families?
