One of them, a tall, handsome 25-year-old, smiled and asked, "'May I invite you to
dance?' Olivia didn't respond. The people beside him were stunned and followed her gaze, only to realize she was looking at Keith. "'It's Keith again!' The young man's face
darkened.
This was Ashton Lee. Most of the room thought he was the man most likely to win
Olivia's heart, but at that moment, Ashton was not very happy. His mother had been
taught a lesson by Keith, and Ashton had been embarrassed in the process.
In the past, he'd always been the center of attention wherever he went, but now people
only paid attention to Keith. What made him even more uncomfortable was that Olivia
kept looking at Keith. She didn't even hear him speak.
"'Olivia!' Sienna said unhappily. "'Ashton is talking to you?' Olivia called out softly, and
when she recovered her senses, she found that everyone was looking at her strangely.
She said, with a slightly red face, "'What do you want?' Her reaction made them even
more unhappy.
But Olivia was here. No matter how unhappy Ashton was, he couldn't lose his cool. He
politely said again, "'Olivia, can I invite you to dance later?' Olivia was so taken aback
that she almost replied that she already had a husband.
She was halfway through her sentence when she seemed to realize that she'd
misspoken. She smiled and shook her head before saying quietly, "'Besaria, I don't want
to dance today.' Ashton frowned. Although Olivia had always refused his invitations
before, he knew that it was due to her personality.
The trace of apology in her eyes indicated that she at least cared about his feelings, but
today her expression was unusually cold. There was no apology in her eyes, as if she
didn't even want to speak to him. He turned his head and glared at Keith, his eyes
spitting fire.
"'You shattered Ashton's wish to invite Olivia to dance. Attribute point plus one.' "'How
did he shatter Ashton's wish?' Keith bared a cold glance at the rich young men glaring at
him. "'System, I want to make a wish.
I want to be proficient in singing, dancing, performing, and all other talents.' "'Wish
invalid. You can only choose a single project.' Keith sighed inwardly. Sure enough, the
loopholes in the system weren't that easy to exploit.
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "'Dance.'" Wish successful. Skill
acquired. Dance proficiency.
Description, mastery of every dance category known to man. Charm value plus one. He
smiled slightly and decided to distribute the three attribute points he'd earned.
With that, his power and dexterity would be 20, stamina would be 19, and spiritual energy would still be 16. His charm value rose to six points. Old Mr. Strauss said with a
smile, "'Keith, what are you thinking? Why are you smiling?' Keith laughed.
"'I just thought of something that made me happy.'" Old Mr. Strauss assumed Keith was
thinking about his granddaughter and said proudly, "'Oh, I be shy. Everyone likes women
with charm, but your relationship can't be made public for the time being. Olivia's too
high profile.
Any action of hers could affect the company's share price. She just took over the
company not long ago. When everything is settled, you can hold a wedding.'" Keith
didn't want to get married so soon either.
He smiled faintly and said, "'Then how should I get along with her in the meantime?' Old
Mr. Strauss laughed and said, "'I've discussed this with Mia. Although your relationship
with Olivia cannot be made public, you've already gotten your marriage certificate. From
now on, you and Olivia will live together here.
Also, you'll be the vice CEO of the company, and your annual salary will be $1 million.
What do you think?' As he spoke, he stuffed a key into Keith's hands. Only Keith and
Olivia would live in the villa.
Old Mr. Strauss wasn't just giving Keith a key. He was giving him his granddaughter's
future. Keith took the key in a daze and said with a half smile, "'Grandpa, you know
Olivia wants to divorce me.
There's no way she'll want to live with me. Anyway, I'm about to take the college
entrance exam. I'm afraid I can't be vice CEO.'" Old Mr. Strauss chuckled, "'She does not
agree, but I've already given you the key.
It's your business whether you live here or not. As for college, it doesn't affect your
position.'" Keith hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded. "'Okay, well, let's do it
your way.'" You've fulfilled Old Mr. Strauss' wish.
Wish value, plus one. Progress, one of ten. Although Mr. Strauss' wish had been fulfilled,
he saw Keith's calm expression and thought, maybe Keith was angry because of the
secret marriage.
The old man looked helpless and apologetic. Keith noted his expression and smiled to
himself. This was what he'd been waiting for.
As Keith casually played with the emerald pendant around his neck, he said with a faint
smile, "'I don't know what this pendant is made of, but I quite like it. Grandpa, your
family has contacts all over. Can you help me find a few more like it? I want to give one
to my parents and sister.'" Old Mr. Strauss curiously took the pendant. He didn't know much about antiques, but he could see that the necklace was unusual. It
would be difficult to find more like it, but he felt that Strauss' family owed Keith, and Mr.
Strauss did not like feeling in debt. He smiled and said, "'All right, I'll help you with this.'"
You've fulfilled Mr. Strauss' wish of not owing a favor.
Wish value, plus one. Current progress, two of ten. Keith touched his nose in
embarrassment.
He'd calculated a little bit, but the old man had contributed a wish value instead. Old Mr.
Strauss was indeed a person who had dedicated his life to his country. He had a noble
character and made people admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
The old man waved at the bodyguard not far away and said, "'Take this pendant to the
purchasing manager. Tell him to find others like it. The more, the better.'" The
bodyguard nodded and quickly left the mansion.
