Molly ran straight to Grandpa Dave's room as soon as she got in.

Grandpa Dave's room was on the second floor. When she pushed his door open, the old man was having a shut-eye on his rocking chair.

Even though it had been years since they met each other, even if they had only spent a mere six months together, Molly still felt a strong sense of closeness with him.

When she was overseas for these five years, this old man was the one who had been giving her care and affection!

Molly sneaked in and walked toward Grandpa Dave as she called out to him softly, "Grandpa, I came back to see you."

Grandpa Dave immediately opened his eyes when he heard her. His face was covered with smiles as he sat upright, looking at his real granddaughter standing right in front of him. "Oh dear, you are finally back, Molly! Come closer to me so I can have a look at you..."

Molly nodded obediently and leaned in.

Grandpa Dave looked at her from her head to her toes and said with a smile, "Not bad, you've gotten even prettier! I was right - my granddaughter is a diamond in the rough. You are only tan and skinny because you've been living a hard life in the countryside! How would my granddaughter be ugly?! That Herring kid sure has a bad eye!"

Molly almost teared up as she listened to Grandpa Dave praising her.

Even her biological parents found her embarrassing. Her grandpa was the only one who thought that she was the best!

Molly fought back her tears and responded with a smile, "I've been obeying you these years, grandpa. I'm living a good life, and I'm learning well. That's why I've become a better me and came back to see you."

"That's good..."

Grandpa Dave patted Molly's hand lovingly. "My granddaughter has made it. You are even an honorable practitioner in alternative medicine!"

Molly found Grandpa Dave's prideful expression hilarious, and her heart had melted like wax.

Suddenly, Grandpa Dave changed his tone and scoffed, "Let your blind parents see how good you are! They don't care about their own daughter, yet they're treating someone else's daughter like a treasure. Outrageous!"

Molly's eyes darkened when she heard this.

Back when the May family had identified her and taken her in, Grandpa Dave had also asked Diana to return to the countryside where her real family belonged.

But still, she was raised by the May family for many years. Besides, she was an outstanding girl, and Molly's parents cared a lot about their image, so they could not bear to kick Diana out.

Two years ago, they ignored Grandpa Dave's objection and insisted on taking in Diana as their goddaughter.

Today, Diana was still the heiress of the May family.

As for Molly, the real heiress...was left unknown by the public!

Molly sneered as she said to Grandpa Dave, "Grandpa, I don't care how they see me. I only care about your opinion! This time, you don't have to tell everyone about my achievements. The main reason I came back here is to see you and to call off the engagement! After I find a place to stay, I'll bring you there once I've settled down and taken care of you. What do you think?"

"Sure, of course, you can. Whatever my granddaughter says, goes. I'm tired of staying in this house too, so I'd rather stay with you and three of my dear great-grandchildren."

Speaking of the three little ones, the anger on Grandpa Dave's face vanished as she asked Molly happily, "The three darlings should know that I'm their great-grandfather, right? Is it safe for you to leave them at the hotel? They're adorable, and I hope they don't get kidnapped!"

Molly smiled too. "It won't happen, grandpa. They're smart! They won't get kidnapped by someone. In fact, I should thank the heavens if they didn't kidnap someone..."

While Molly and Grandpa Dave were chatting away happily, Leonardo suddenly knocked on the door and reported, "Ms. Molly, Mr. and Mrs. May are back, and they're asking for you downstairs."

Molly's smile faded when she heard Leonardo as she frowned and responded, "Got it, I'll be going down now!"

Grandpa Dave's face darkened as he stood up. "I'll head down with you, don't be afraid."

Molly's eyes turned warm when she heard him and nodded. "Okay."

She then helped Grandpa Dave down the stairs together.

At that moment, Mr. and Mrs. May, Adam, and even Diana were in the living hall.

They heard someone coming down the stairs, so they had all looked over to the stairway. When they saw Grandpa Dave, all of them immediately stood up to greet him.

"Dad, why did you come downstairs as well?"

Walter was the first to speak, but his eyes landed on Molly, who was next to Grandpa Dave.

'She is incredibly charming and attractive!'

Walter could vaguely see the old Molly in her.

He had a surprised expression on his face as he could not bear to admit that the lady was Molly. "And you are...?"

Grandpa Dave scoffed. "What's wrong? Can't you recognize your own daughter?"

Mr. and Mrs. May were completely stunned!

'She really is Molly May!'

They did not expect her to have such a big change!

Diana was shocked as well.

The old Molly looked extremely grubby and would only look like an ugly duckling when she stood next to her.

But now, Molly was emitting a strong and honorable aura as if she was the real wealthy heiress.

Diana instinctively turned to look at Adam, who was next to her...

Adam's eyes were glued onto Molly, and he did not even blink!

He was still in disbelief. How could the woman in front of him be the same country bumpkin back then?!

'If Molly looked like that a few years ago, I might not even call off the engagement!' he thought.

Diana sensed Adam's gaze, and her jealousy grew in her heart!

'Molly May!

'Since you've already left, why did you come back again?!!'

While they were all having their own thoughts, Molly had already helped Grandpa Dave to the couch and took a seat.

Grandpa Dave had a protective expression on his face as he gently patted the back of Molly's hand. He was warm and kind.

Diana felt bitter as she greeted him, "Grandpa."

Grandpa Dave's expression immediately darkened when he saw her as he asked coldly, "Why are you here? We're talking about our family matters today. What's that got to do with an outsider like you?"

Diana was embarrassed and looked as if she had been wronged. Everyone could see the pitiful look on her face.

Walter could not bear to watch the daughter that he had loved and raised for many years being sad, so he could not help but say, "Dad! Diana has been your granddaughter for twenty-over years. She's also our goddaughter now. This isn't how you should treat her, right?"

Thud!

Grandpa Dave knocked on the floor with his walking cane hard. His expression was filled with anger when he heard Walter as he scolded him, "So what? She's not my granddaughter now! My real granddaughter is right here... As for you two, instead of acknowledging your daughter, you insisted on treating a person without any blood relation with us as your daughter! I think you are all blinded and foolish. How ridiculous!"

The both of them were not looking too good as they got yelled at when an outsider was around them.

Lara sneered, "I don't have such an embarrassing daughter!"

Grandpa Dave was livid as his arm trembled. "What did you say?!"

Lara huddled when Grandpa Dave yelled at her.

Molly patted his chest to help him calm down, but she was feeling apathetic.

At the end of the day, she had no bond with her biological parents. She soothed Grandpa Dave gently, saying, “Grandpa, you are unwell. Don't be angry.”

Then, she looked up and glanced toward her so-called parents in front of her as she said coldly, "I'm not here to be anyone's daughter today, so I'll save the unnecessary talk! I agree to call off the engagement. Do I need to sign a contract or something? Please make it fast! I don't have much time, and I don't want to waste any of it here."

She did not sound like she was pestering or yearning, which was making them confused.

They thought Molly would never give up on the chance to marry Adam.

After all, Molly used to like Adam.

They did not expect Molly to agree so easily!

But Adam was a little stunned as he thought to himself, 'Is this woman playing hard-to-get?'

No matter what the answer was, Adam had already noticed her!

Molly was stunning. Even if Adam could not marry her, he was fine with fooling around with her!

Walter recomposed himself very quickly. "It's good that you agreed."

He then headed to his study immediately and took out a marriage contract.

"This contract was made by the elderly of our family and the Herring family. As long as you sign this, your engagement with Adam will be revoked!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Molly took the contract and signed her name on it, not even bothering to look at the details.

Every move of hers was quick, and she looked ever so cool while she did it.

Walter was delighted when he took back the contract. "From now onwards, you will have no relationship with the Herring family! I'll use this opportunity to pair Diana and Adam up for marriage..."

He hesitated for a while and told Grandpa Dave, "Also, I've decided to transfer 2% of my shares to Diana as her dowry! Though Diana isn't blood-related to Lara or me, we've still raised her for twenty-over years, so we share a bond. Diana is an obedient child too, and she's been by my side for a long time. Besides, I've made this promise from the start."

Back when they did not know that Diana was not their biological daughter, Walter had already made this promise.

Now that things had changed, he still wanted to keep his word.

Diana was elated, but she still acted pretentious by saying, "Thank you, Dad, Mom! It's only reasonable for me to be obedient to you, so I'm not after your shares... As long as I can continue being your daughter, I can have nothing."

Mr. and Mrs. May were gratified.

Molly watched them with a sneer. 'What a tight bond they share!'

Thud!

Grandpa Dave's expression darkened as he objected immediately, "I object!"

"A person with no blood relation to us has no right to have the May family's shares."

While he was saying this, he stared at Diana coldly with a stony expression.

Lara rebutted, "Dad, it's fine if you don't see Diana as your granddaughter! But we take her as our child! Diana was raised by us, and we have a strong mother-daughter relationship, stronger than you expect... This share is transferred under my name, so I have the right to decide, and I've already made the decision. Don't put the blame on Walter. "

"Y-You..."

Grandpa Dave got so angry that he almost had a heart attack. His hand trembled so much that he could not speak.

Diana was delighted, but she still acted like an obedient child. "Grandpa, though you don't like me, I'll still treat you as my grandfather! I'll still respect and obey you and my parents; Molly too."

"There's no need for that. I don't have a sister," Molly said coldly, and her tone was filled with disdain.

Grandpa Dave was infuriated. "Great, great! Walter and Lara... You've both blatantly broken your real daughter's heart today. Good on you! Since you don't love her, I'll love her as her grandfather..."

Then, Grandpa Dave shouted, "Leonardo, go to my room and get the document in the safe."

Leonardo listened and took the document in a short amount of time.

Grandpa Dave shoved the document to Molly, saying, "Molly, this is twenty percent of my shares. It's all yours. Get a lawyer to settle the transfer when you are free."

Everyone's expression changed immediately after Grandpa Dave said that.

"How is this possible? She's an outsider. What right does she have to take these shares?"

Walter was obviously upset.

Lara was panicking as well. "Dad, don't be foolish! How could this happen?"

'Besides, we still have three sons!

'We are the ones who should have the most shares!

'Molly didn't deserve it!'

Diana's expression was dark as well.

For the past twenty-over years, she had treated this old troll well. But he had been stingy to everyone.

Now, he was actually giving Molly this many shares without any hesitation!

20%!

It was May Group's biggest share!!

Molly was shocked too.

She did not expect Grandpa Dave to make such a decision.

"Grandpa..."

Molly wanted to reject his offer.

If she took over these shares, she might have more troubles in the future. She did not want to have too much involvement with the May family.

"Forget it!"

Grandpa Dave had already made his decision. He stared at Mr. and Mrs. May coldly and told Molly remorselessly, "In the May family, I'll protect you if no one does! These shares belong to me, so I can give them to whoever I want."

He then rolled up his sleeves and walked up the stairs without even waiting for their response.

Molly watched Grandpa Dave leave. Her heart was moved as she knew that Grandpa Dave was supporting her.

He was the only one who was sincere to her in the May family.

Molly had no relationship with Mr. and Mrs. May and Diana, so she could just treat them coldly.

She kept the document with her and said flatly, "Since the contract is revoked, I'll be leaving now."

Molly then turned and was about to leave.

Finally, Walter yelled at her, "Stand right there!"

"Why? Is there anything else?"

Molly looked distant as she asked.

Walter said firmly, "Molly May, you are not a part of the May family. Know your place! You shouldn't take those shares, nor do you have the right to do so! Give that document to me right now!"

He extended his hand, waiting for the document.

Lara nodded as well. "That's right. You can't take it."

Molly laughed!

"Grandpa gave this to me, so why can't I take it? Besides, since you've all decided that I don't belong to the May family, what right do you have to stop me?"

Then, Molly scoffed, stood up straight, and left with pride.

After Molly left, everyone in the room was not looking too good.

Mr. and Mrs. May pulled a long face.

None of them expected Grandpa Dave to do this!

Especially Diana, who was furious about this.

‘I’ve been sucking up to my adoptive parents with all I have for many years. Yet, all I got was two percent of the shares. But Molly actually got twenty percent from the old troll even when she did not do anything!

'Why?!

'Molly already had a bad reputation!

'Why did the old troll favor her so much?!'

As for Adam, he did not expect things to escalate like this as well.

The only reason he chose to marry Diana was that he knew that the May family liked her. Besides, she had some shares.

But now, why would he marry Diana if Molly was the one who had that many shares?

'I should really reconsider this engagement now!

'On top of that, the current Molly was completely different from how she was before. She was a breathtaking beauty.

'Taking the shares into consideration, I can still consider reconciling with Molly!'

Adam was extremely confident that he could win Molly over!

...

After Molly left the May Residence, she did not think of this incident anymore.

She stopped a cab by the road and rushed back to the hotel.

It was rather late now.

She was worried that her three children were starving in the hotel room, so she was rushing the driver throughout her journey back to the hotel. "Mister, please drive faster..."

In the hotel--

The three little ones were already feasting in the restaurant on the first floor!

Alex still kept his mom in mind, so he ordered some takeaway for Molly to eat when she got back.

Then, the three of them held hands and got ready to go back up.

Their endearing and delicate looks had gained a lot of attention as the people complimented them.

"Such cuties... Are they triplets?"

"They have the best genes! I want them!"

"Dearies, what color do you want your burlap sacks to be?"

"..."

The passersby who were attacked by their cuteness could not control their volume.

The little ones were listening to everything they were saying.

Ben smiled as he looked over when he heard them. He then reminded them cutely, "To all you beautiful missuses and misters, your thinking is really dangerous. The policemen would never allow you to do that, so please don't do the wrong thing!"

He was talking as if it had already happened, so everyone was amused.

"This cutie is too fun! Besides, he's beautiful. He'll be extremely handsome when he grows up."

Ben wanted to chime in when Alex suddenly grabbed his hand and hid behind a pillar.

Ben was confused. "What's wrong, Alex?"

Claudia was muddled when she walked over to them as she asked suspiciously, "Why are we hiding? Is there a bad guy around here?"

Alex shook his head and pointed at the exit of the restaurant, saying, "No, look over there... That's the CEO of Anderson Corporation, the man that's probably our daddy!"

The two other siblings looked toward where Alex was pointing and saw Sean!

It was apparent that Sean had just finished his meal as he was leaving the restaurant.

Tony was pushing him, and they were heading toward the elevator.

Alex turned toward Claudia and said, "Claudia, it's your turn to shine!"

Claudia was extremely excited as she was finally meeting her daddy!

She puffed up her chest and responded, "No problem! Leave it to me!"

She then followed Sean and Tony with her tiny legs.

Ding-

At that moment, the elevator doors opened.

Tony was pushing Sean into the elevator.

Sean asked coldly, "What did you find about that woman?"

"The receptionist had already passed us her details. You will be able to see it once you go up!" Tony responded truthfully.

He pressed the elevator button while he was speaking.

The elevator doors were closing...

"Wait up."

Suddenly, a lovely voice rang outside of the elevator.

Sean looked up and saw a little girl in a cute princess dress running toward the elevator.

'If she rushed in like that, she might be squashed by the elevator doors,' Sean thought.

Out of reflex, he extended his arm to block the elevator doors. Fortunately, he managed to stop them, and the doors opened very quickly.

In a short amount of time, the little girl hurried in and leaped to his legs as she hugged them, yelling, "Daddy! Why didn't you wait for me?"
