Chapter 750 Strike First
"So, that's how it is!" Ivy's quick-witted mind turned. "Grandpa, I have 18 children to take care of, with 18 more on the way. I can't even handle my own children, let alone others. Even if I'm willing to watch over her, I can't do it 24 hours a day. What if one day I'm not paying attention and she does something crazy? What should we do then?"
Beckett thought her reasoning made sense. "I guess I'll find someone else to watch her."
"But can you trust others? Samantha is very popular. No matter who you find, they might end up becoming her friend. In my opinion, it's better if you watch over her yourself," Ivy suggested.
"Me? How can I keep an eye on her? Besides, I don't have time for this," Beckett said proudly. "As the head of the Ashford family conglomerate, I have to go to the company every day. How can I find time to look after an old lady? Besides, I can't personally do this kind of thing! If anyone finds out, they might think I secretly love this old lady."
Ivy burst into laughter. After a moment, she said seriously, "I have a very good solution that allows you to control her 24 hours a day without actually watching her."
"What solution? Tell me!" Beckett couldn't wait to find out.
Clearing her throat, Ivy continued, "The reason Samantha wants to break up Grandma Annabel and Grandpa Richard is not because she loves Grandpa Richard so much, but because she's unwilling. After being a widow for so many years, she hasn't remarried. Now that she finally found a suitable partner, he's being snatched away from her. She definitely can't accept that. If you marry her, she won't ruin Grandma Annabel and Grandpa Richard's happiness anymore."
"Ivy, what nonsense are you talking about?" Beckett immediately became angry.
"I'm not talking nonsense. It's the best solution!" Ivy paused for a moment and provocatively said, "But even if it's a good solution, it's difficult to implement."
"Because Samantha is very choosy when it comes to people. She's not attracted to just anyone, or else she wouldn't have remained a widow for decades," Beckett chuckled.
"A pig-feeding country old lady being choosy? Really?"
"What's wrong with being a pig-feeding old lady? Have you ever seen such a sophisticated pig-feeding old lady? She's an entrepreneur!"
Ivy raised an eyebrow and mysteriously said, "Grandpa, you probably don't know. Samantha is very wealthy. She has dozens of antique pottery jars at home, and just taking one out is worth millions. She's a hidden billionaire! I bet you won't be able to win Samantha's heart in three months!"
"Haha, I can get it done in three days!" Beckett said, but suddenly covered his mouth.
Angrily, he asked, "Why should I bet with you? Why do I have to pursue her?"
"Because Samantha is not someone who accepts fate easily. She is determined to spend the rest of her life with Richard, and she will do everything in her power to make it happen. If you refuse to cooperate with her today, she will find a way herself, and who knows what she might come up with..."
Beckett couldn't help but think of what Samantha had said before.
"I will announce to the media that Annabel is cheating, having a man when she already has a husband!"
Damn it, would this old lady really do such a thing?
Beckett worried that Samantha would actually use the media to ruin Annabel and Richard, so he decided to contact the various media outlets himself...
