I’m Someone Else

“It’s the Morton Family’s honor to have you as our guest, Miss Pearson!” John smiled and extended his hand toward Olivia.

In the meantime, Olivia was flattered to hear John’s response, having heard of his name a long time ago. In response to the cordiality of the man with a legendary reputation, she immediately stepped up and shook John’s hand. “I’m so sorry for the sudden visit.” Although the Pearson Family and the Morton Family hardly ever associated with each other, they often found themselves at odds with each other on many commercial occasions. Therefore, the two families had always avoided further conflicts by minding each other’s business.

John then ordered his maid to show the Turner Family members the door and pointed at Thomas with a smile. “Don’t worry about that, Miss Pearson. You’re always welcome to visit the Morton Residence, but what really surprises me is that you know this brat, Thomas!”

“This brat?” Olivia was stunned when she heard John’s reply, suspecting that he was close with Thomas due to the way he referred to him. As she showed up in such a hurry just now, she didn’t pay close attention to her surroundings. Now that she took a closer look, she realized there were wine and cake, which indicated that it was someone’s birthday in the Morton Family.

enough to seize the opportunity to pull his family closer to Norman’s since there were only a handful of occasions in which both families had ever worked together. After all, he was hoping that the collaboration would serve the Morton Family’s interest better and help it prosper. While age had made John wise enough to understand that, Samuel also caught on to that, which was why the two older men were unusually cordial to Norman and Olivia. Because of that, the two old patriarchs believed that collaborating with the Pearson Group would be a win-win situation for every party involved, not to mention Thomas, who brought everyone together in the middle. At the same time, the two
