“Maybe so, but I’ve thought it over. Maddy, this time Isaac saved you, so shouldn’t you devote yourself to him? How about this—you can marry him so that the relationship between our two families can still flourish. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?”
Seeing the sincere smile on Valerie’s face, Madeline staggered back.
Why was this unfolding so differently from what she had imagined?!
Valerie should be scolding her out of embarrassment and rage, then hit her, thus incurring the wrath of the Sullivans.
Only then would the Sullivans band together to condemn Valerie, right?
Seeing the deep sisterly love shining in Valerie’s eyes, Madeline was completely stunned, not knowing what to say.
In the end, because Madeline’s leg was hurting, Valerie helped her back to her room.
After Madeline left, Valerie’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. Then, she turned around and went to her grandpa’s study.
“Grandpa, will the Holts create trouble for our family?”
Over the years, the Sullivans and the Holts had been cooperating with each other for mutual benefit, but in fact, the one profiting the most was the Sullivans. After all, they had monopolized the restaurant business across the entire Federal Empire.
As for the transportation business? The profits were less than one-third of the Sullivans’.
There had been some greedy, ambitious people in the Holts for a long time. Naturally, they wanted more, so after this wedding, they pardoned Isaac and used this situation to test the Sullivans.
Of course, Grandpa Sullivan was most familiar with his old friend’s character. He asked Valerie, “If they cut off our supply of fruits and vegetables, what do you think we should do?”
“Be prepared in advance so that we won’t be completely impeded by them. I heard from Dad that once the transport spaceship was intercepted by space pirates, but a big shot helped resolve the shortage of fruits and vegetables at that time. Grandpa, can we still go to that big shot for help?”
In the two years after Valerie woke up, although she stayed at home, she had not been idle.
Of course, she learned about all the major events that happened in the family over the past five years.
Thus, she knew about this matter.
Grandpa Sullivan stroked his chin and finally said, “That big shot, I don’t know why he wanted to help us. I only know that he works in the palace, but I don’t know exactly what his position is. There’s only one way to contact him.”
The palace?
There was no helping it. Each time Valerie heard about the palace, she would think of Jonathan.
She even had nightmares at night, dreaming of the cute and soft Jonny tearfully kissing her one moment, and strangling her with his tail the next!
Of course, Grandpa Sullivan did not know that Valerie was recalling her nightmare from last night. He continued, “He’s an influential figure in the palace, and I’m not sure if he can help. I’ll give you his contact information. You can take care of this matter.”
Valerie was silent before she nodded.
However, after getting that communication number, she felt like her hand was burning.
Hopefully, she was overthinking it, and this big shot from the palace had nothing to do with Jonathan.
They chatted for a while and soon, Zachary came home.
He first went to see the injured Madeline, and then urgently looked for Valerie.
“Val, come out. I have something to tell you!”

After realizing that her dad treated other people’s daughters better than his own daughter, Valerie did not care much for him.
She said solemnly, “Dad, what do you have to say that you can’t say in front of Grandpa?”
Grandpa Sullivan looked coolly at his own son.
Zachary choked. It would not look good if he continued yelling for Valerie to come out.
He frowned. “It’s all thanks to you! Isaac didn’t mean to not show up that day. He even pleaded with you.. Why didn’t you forgive him? Great, now the Holts are reconsidering our business partnership!”
