Chapter 71 Playing the Matchmaker

“I sure have an exceptional grandson,” Merlin said while stroking his beard. He then handed Silas acopper key while staring at the latter. “Go get me the red folder in the drawer.”

Despite his surprise, Silas took the key and took out the folder after unlocking the drawer. “Do youmean this?” “Yeah, and you shall be keeping this from now on,” Merlin said with a nod.

"What's this?” Upon opening it, Silas's heart skipped a beat as he realized that it was hisgrandfather's will, which brought a frown to his face. “Grandpa, what are you doing? Why would youwrite a will when you're fine?” Merlin got ahold of Silas's hand as the latter tried to tuck the folderback into his hands. “Don't be nervous, as all I ask of you in the meantime is to hold onto it. My daywill come now that I am old, so you should think about the company even though you don'tpersonally care about the wealth. To me, you're the best candidate for the president of thiscompany. The shares that your grandmother and I hold add up to one-fourth of the total number ofshares, which would guarantee your acquisition of the position, with one added condition.” A lookof anger crossed Silas's face as he looked closer at the additional terms listed upon hearing Merlin'swords. “You mean I need to get married before I could inherit the company? Are you sure you wantme as the president?” Merlin wore a mischievous smirk as he responded, “I'll try my best to live onwhile you do your best to accomplish that task!” “You should have someone else inherit it, then,”Silas said. As anxiety kicked in, Merlin slapped him on the back. “Are you planning to piss me off somuch so that you could inherit my wealth after I die of a stroke?” “How could I when I can't evenmeet your requirements?” Silas was exasperated. Merlin looked between Camila and Silas whilesignaling to the latter. “You should try harder then, you hopeless bum! I did a far better job backthen!” So he wants me to court Camila! The realization gave Silas conflicted feelings. Didn't we onlymeet a few times? Why does he have such a good impression of her?

Meanwhile, Camila stood awkwardly as if having heard something that she shouldn't have,wondering if she would be silenced. This old man! Why didn’t you have me give you some spacewhen you are talking about such important matters? The document was handed to Silas by Merlin,and he gave Silas a naughty wink at the same time. “Hold onto and don’t let anyone discover this,or else they would say that I'm being partial to you. However, one day when I'm dead, you shouldshow this if anybody questions your claim to the position.”

Those words left a bad taste in Silas's mouth as he sat on his grandfather's bed. “Grandpa! Don'tspout nonsense! Didn't you hear what Doctor Brooklyn told you? You'd better try your best to liveas long as you can so that you can witness my wedding!” “If that's the case, you should work fast todeliver your promise!” Merlin nodded as he spoke before turning to Camila. “Bring South to visit meduring the holidays, as I like him a lot.” “Alright,” Camila agreed. Merlin heaved a sigh. “Although Ino longer associate myself with worldly matters, 1 do have a clear grasp of things, so you don't needto feel uneasy about it. I know you're a good kid, as I would be long dead if it wasn't for yourconstant visits. You can laugh all you want, but for families like us, familial relationships come afterbenefits of any form. However, Rocky isn't blinded by these benefits, so you can work on building arelationship together.”

Why does it feel like he is playing the matchmaker? Camila responded stiffly as she blushed.
