Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 217 Roman Confessed His Love

"All right. Call him."

Olivia hinted at Roman.

Roman seemed to realize something. He hurriedly pulled out his phone to dial Mr. Garrett's number.

The call was connected soon. "Hello, Master Roman?"

Roman snorted. He had thought Mr. Garrett would refuse to answer his call, but much to his surprise,

Mr. Garrett did.

"Mr. Garrett, why did you set me up? Did Drake plan everything and send you to frame me?"

"What do you mean, Master Roman? When did I frame you? It's you who set me up. Seen your

scandal? I trusted you and wanted to cooperate with you. How could you do this to me? I'll lose a lot of

money on your project. You are so cruel to me!"

Roman didn't expect Mr. Garrett to shift the blame to him. "What are you talking about? Didn't you let

that woman take my nude photos?"

"That woman? Cooperation should be based on our mutual trust. Master Roman, did you mean the

woman I sent to you last night was a spy?"

Suddenly, Roman was rendered wordless.

Sitting next to him, Olivia overheard everything.

She grabbed Roman's phone and said snappishly, "Mr. Garrett, what do you mean by doing so? You

should know what evil deeds you've done."

Mr. Garrett flared up immediately. "What have I done? To cooperate with him, I did so many things to

fawn upon him. Now, he has a scandal. It has negatively impacted me, but you suspect it's my

conspiracy. I thought Drake was a jerk. It turns out Roman is a more obnoxious jerk!"

"I was so blind. Anyway, I won't continue cooperating with your Riley family anymore. I wish I'll never

see you again."

Then he ended the call in anger.

Even if the Old Riley wanted to support Roman, he couldn't do anything at this moment.

Olivia looked at Roman in doubt. After all, the Old Riley was still with them, so she didn't ask her son

directly. However, her gaze was full of implications.

Roman doubted himself, wondering what on earth was going on.

Drake broke the silence. "Grandpa, since this matter has happened, we must do something. Or our

Riley family will be negatively impacted."

Roman panicked, looking at Olivia for help, wishing she could have some ideas.

Olivia suggested, "Dad, we'd better make an explanation to the public for this incident. If we remove

Roman from his current position, it means we admit what he has done and what kind of man he is. It's

more harmful to our family's reputation."

Drake looked at her. "Olivia, I don't quite follow. I was the president of the Riley Group. When I was

removed from the position, the company's stock price has been dropped abruptly. I'm sure you've seen

it. If I return to the company, I can make our partners and the public trust our company again. Grandpa

should be brilliant enough to consider the pros and cons."

"Especially now, if Grandpa doesn't remove Roman, others will think he's too aged to be wise. Our

family will be doomed for sure."

Olivia couldn't find any word to retort.

She had to admit Drake's words made sense.

Drake looked at the Old Riley. "Grandpa, if you don't trust me. You can let your son take over the

company. He's returned to town for weeks but hasn't done anything yet."

His words made Olivia stiffen.

A while later, the Old Riley replied, "Unnecessary. The company should be good under your

management. Go back to take the position then." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"OK. I won't let you down, Grandpa."

Before leaving, Drake darted a glance at Olivia and Roman in disdain, as if implying that they were nuts

to fight against him.

Roman still wanted to let the Old Riley change his mind, but Olivia dragged him away forcibly.

In Olivia's bedroom, Roman yelled, "Mom, why did you stop me talking to Grandpa? It's all done by

Drake."

"Enough! No matter what you say, it's useless now. Think your grandfather will believe you?"

"Why not? Didn't you tell me a chip had been embedded into Grandpa's brain? He obeys everything we

say. Why did he still defend Drake?"

"It's true. If we had the evidence, your grandfather would listen to us obediently. However, we didn't

have it. Drake's words made sense. Your grandfather hasn't lost his judgment. We can do nothing

about it."

Roman bit his lip tightly. "So shall we sit and watch without doing anything?"

"If Drake could be defeated easily, I wouldn't have spent so many years planning. This is just a small

failure. We shall be more careful. You as well. I heard what stupid things you'd done in the past few

weeks. Roman, stop it! You know the reason we've endured hardship for years, don't you?"

"I..."

"All right. You have another shortcut, don't you? As long as you can gain Sophia's heart before Drake

does, it'll be a heavy blow to him. After you've gained everything from the Lawson family, your

grandfather will recognize your competence and let you take over the Riley family."

"By then, the Lawson and Riley families and the top four families in Pinkerton will be obedient to you.

Will you still worry about not being able to take revenge on Drake?"

Her words finally made Roman smile again.

"You are right, Mom. It's just a small failure. When I worked in the Riley Group, I didn't have much time

to pursue Sophia. It's different now. I have a lot of time. I'll definitely win her heart."

"Ehn. That's my good boy. Go ahead. I fully support you."

Roman seemed to have got Sophia and gained everything mentioned by Olivia, a satisfactory smile on

his face.

The Skylane Group.

While everyone was working, suddenly, an employee yelled, "Balloons! Why so many balloons?"

Others peered out of the window.

Sure enough, they saw colorful balloons all over the sky, on which it wrote: "I love you, Sophia. Be my

girlfriend!"

Everyone knew Drake had been pursuing Sophia for a long time. He also announced to the public that

he would marry Sophia anytime as long as she was willing.

Therefore, they all thought it was arranged by Drake.

The female employees envied Sophia greatly.

After Chloe saw them, she pushed the door of Sophia's office open and entered.

"Has Drake Riley become smarter? He's so romantic," Chloe praised.

After the bouquet's matter, Sophia didn't have such high expectations of Drake. "Well, I don't think it's

him."

Chloe looked at her in confusion. "Who else could it be? Roman again? No way!"
