Chapter 1111
Grandpa Duran continued, “Comelia, just a heads up, you’ve agreed to be my granddaughter. No take backs.”
Comelia responded, “Grandpa Dumn, a promise is a promise. But, could you perhaps give me a few more days to
mull it over?”
Grandpa Duran questioned. “If you’re not planning on backing out, what’s there to ponder?”
Comella fell silent. Grandpa Duran had a point
Grandpa Duran then tned to persuade her, “Since you’ve already agreed to be my granddaughter, we gotta carry
out this adoption ceremony sooner or later. Better to sort it out sooner than later, night? It’s one less thing to worry
about. You guys with me on this?”

well.
Steven chimed in, “It’s a good thing, indeed better sooner than later”
Comelia fell silent again. Why was he suddenly piping up now?
Cornelia looked over at Marcus, knowing he probably wouldn’t agree to her adopting a stranger with no blood ties
as a relative. But to her surprise, Marcus was even more gung ho than her, “Grandpa Duran’s right, better sooner
than later. Let’s get this done today.”
Hannah added. “Comelia, since you’ve promised Grandpa Duran, just go through with the adoption ceremony
ASAP.”
In Hannah’s view, the Durans were influential and powerful. Once Grandpa Duran adopted Cornelia, she’d be under
the Duran’s protection. Even if her marriage with Marcus fell apart, no one would dare mess with her. All in all,
Hannah saw this as a blessing in disguise.
Rosie agreed, “I’m in.”
Everyone was on board. Cornelia had no other choice but to pin her last hope on Grandpa Duran, “Grandpa Duran,
this isn’t a small matter Are you sure you don’t want to think it over?”
Grandpa Duran replied, “If everyone’s free today, why not join us for a trip to the Capital. The more the merrier for
the adoption ceremony”
Cornelia fell silent again.
So, the seven of them boarded Grandpa Duran’s private plane to the Capital. After landing, they exited through the
VIP channel and got into the business van Grandpa Duran had arranged.
After around half an hour drive, they arrived at a villa district. The van continued along the tree–lined avenue within
the district.

Everyone couldn’t help but admire the Duran’s high status. Their residence had tight security and an advanced
security system. There were guards stationed everywhere, even a fly wouldn’t be able to get in without permission.
Once on the plane, Steven snapped back to normal and chatted with Marcus and Lucas for two hours.
At this point, Steven displayed his social skills, “Grandpa Duran, can we ask the driver to slow down a bit? I’d love to
take in the scenery.”
Grandpa Duran responded, “Slow down.”
Steven rolled down the window and looked around, “Grandpa Duran, if it weren’t for you, we might never have had
the chance to see a place like this in our lifetime” Grandpa Duran retorted, “As the CEO of the Dixon Group, there
shouldn’t be anything you can’t do. You don’t need to butter me up.”
