Chapter 269: Meet Grandpa Philips!
At Charlotte Morgan’s house,
Harvey sat across from his mother, trying to convince her to bless his marriage to Serena Philips.
Charlotte Morgan took another deep breath and set her teacup down. "It’s not that I disagree, but you also know her status as a celebrity. You know your grandfather dislikes celebrities, especially if the celebrity is his granddaughter-in-law, right?"
Harvey could only grumble intensely in his mind. He already understood the obstacle to marrying Serena Philips: his maternal grandfather would oppose it. They came from a family involved in politics, and celebrities were not the type of granddaughter-in-law they preferred.
"I know, Mom. But Serena isn’t just any celebrity..." Harvey reassured his mother again. "She’s an international movie star, and she’s also the granddaughter of James Philips. Mom still remembers, right? James Philips is Grandpa Nathaniel’s best friend."
"I remember." Charlotte narrowed her eyes at her firstborn. "Why are you bringing that old man up again?" she asked, displeased.
"If I marry Serena, Grandpa Nathaniel will be happy. This is my only way to get back into the company: to marry Serena and have a baby with her as soon as possible," Harvey explained excitedly. Still, Charlotte was left speechless upon hearing that.
Charlotte couldn’t believe her ears. Nevertheless, given his desperate state, she saw no reason to stop him, and she felt pity for her son, who had endured so much recently.
"Mom, please help me... If you agree and can talk to Grandpa, I promise I’ll work hard and become successful like I used to," Harvey pleaded once more. He needed his mother and maternal grandfather’s support to avoid being kicked out of the Morgan family.
