"Call thewyer? And have Fredericke over, too. Grandma, what exactly are you nning?"
Harrison''s heart raced as soon as he heard this.
Frederick was in the critical phase of his presidential campaign and couldn''t afford the slightest hup.
The oue of Frederick''s presidential bid was intricately tied to the Prescott family''s future.
If Frederick won, the Prescotts would regain their influence and resources, and within a year, they could reim their position as the wealthiest family, just as they were four years ago.
ire and Frederick''s engagement had already caused significant damage to Frederick''s campaign. Any further setbacks could be catastrophic.
Harrison instinctively assumed Elizabeth was going to force ire and Frederick into a marriage.
"Do you think I''ve already had them engaged, and now I''m nning their wedding?" Elizabeth, sharp as ever, immediately guessed Harrison''s thoughts. "Grandma, you know very well that their engagement has already had a massive impact on Frederick''s campaign. If they were to marry now..."

had proposed the engagement, but behind it all, Elizabeth was the one pulling the strings.
"Alright, since we''re being frank, I have a question for the three of you. I want to know what you really think of me," Elizabeth smiled, then got up, leaning on her cane, and walked to therge window.
She stood there statuesque, inspiring both respect and fear.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Robert and Margaret exchanged nces and spoke in unison, "What do
you mean?"
"Have you always thought I was old and senile? That I can''t tell which is more important-ire or the Prescott family? At my birthday party, you didn''t oppose the engagement, but you had plenty of reservations. So, tell me, which do you think is more important to me- ire or the Prescott family?"
Elizabeth''s voice, though soft, carried a weight that hung in the air.
When she finished, Harrison, Robert, and Margaret looked at each other, none of them willing to speak first.
Elizabeth, seeing their silence, called him out, "Harrison."
"Grandma, since you''ve asked, I''ll be straightforward. Yes, I do think you can''t tell what''s more important-ire or the Prescott family.
"ire has no blood rtion to us and isn''t part of the Prescott family. Yet, you''ve done so much for her, even making a deal with Nathan. Isn''t that just senility speaking?"
Chapter 320 I Can''t Agree to That "Harrison! How dare you speak to your grandma like that?"
"Mom, he''s young, don''t take it personally."
Robert and Margaret quickly tried to diffuse the tension.
Elizabeth, however, seemed to have anticipated Harrison''s
response.
"Ah, yes, Harrison may be young, but his insight is anything but ordinary. I''ve never doubted my grandson''s judgment, especially when ites to his choice in this presidential campaign. If I were in his shoes, I would have picked Frederick,
too.
"But Harrison, you''re still young, and you haven''t seen as much of the world yet. I''ll admit, you''re right about one thing-I do have a soft spot for ire.
"The decision to arrange her engagement to Frederick wasrgely to protect her. But let''s be honest, you and Frederick have gone too far.
"Ever since she got out of prison, you two have been tormenting her over that poor Anna''s death. If I hadn''t stepped in, ire might not have made it through all of this.
"I arranged for her to be engaged to Frederick not out of confusion or favoritism but for the sake of our family. One day, you''ll understand that.
s for today, I''ve called thewyer and Frederick here for a
couple of reasons. Yes, part of it is about their wedding, but there''s something else on my mind I need to draft my will.

transfer thirty percent to ire and another thirty to you, Harrison. I..."
Before Elizabeth could finish her thought, Robert interrupted, his voice rising in disbelief.
"What? Mom, you''re giving thirty percent of the shares to ire? I can''t agree to that!"
