Galen was pleased by her words, chuckling heartily as he held Monique into his arms, "Do you want to
become someone who people think is incredible?"
Monique looked a little diffident, but her eyes were filled with desire, "Can I?" Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Galen responded with utmost certainty, "Of course you can. I am not born being the best either, but I
am willing to learn. Knowledge is the superpower that can change everything."
Monique seemed energized by these words, but before she could express her determination, Probert,
afraid of being left behind, quickly chimed in, "Grandpa, I want to learn from you too. If Monique can do
it, so can I."
Seizing the opportunity, Galen immediately asked, "Do you want to manage this street and make it your
own?"
"Really? Can we do that, Grandpa? Is this street ours like people say it is?" Monique asked again.
"Of course, it's ours," Galen said with pride, his answer firm and resolute.
Not only the children but even I felt a sense of pride within me like never before.
"So we're really the owners of this street?"
"Yes!"
"That's amazing. I admire you, Grandpa!"
Monique's exclamation cut off Galen, revealing the inherent nature of the Dawsons.
I couldn't help but glance at Galen, who shrugged slightly, looking a bit deflated.
Galen raised a hand to stop me, continuing to speak to Monique, "So Monique, do you want to help me
manage this street? After all, I'm getting older and there will come a time when I can't manage it
anymore. Then it'll be up to you."
Monique quickly responded, but asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, are you saying you'll give me this street in
the future?"
"That depends on whether you can shoulder this responsibility. If you can, it's yours. But the condition
is that you must strive to make yourself strong, strong enough that no one can knock you down or take
what's in your hands."
Galen's words were classic. To protect what everyone covets, we must be strong enough to hold onto
it. Just like I failed to protect my Medsafe Liyah Inc, which only proved that I was not strong enough.
"Can I do it, Grandpa?" Monique asked uncertainly.
"You can because you're Monique. You're unique." Galen's affirmation was like a healing potion.
"I didn't realize my name was so cultured. Grandma always said my name was too plain" Monique was
full of indignation, "She even wanted to change my name. I almost believed her."
Galen laughed helplessly, "Now that you understand the meaning of your name, do you still want to
change it?"
"No way! They don't understand. It's sad how ignorant they are. They don't know anything, but they act
like they do." Monique pouted.
I was a little upset too. I didn't expect there to be such a thing. Hazel really couldn't keep her mouth
shut.
Galen didn't get angry but laughed, saying lightly, "You're right, and your grandma is uneducated. Do
you still think your name is too plain? Do you still want to go to change it?"
"Of course not! They don't know anything. They're not as knowledgeable as you." Monique's words
were childish, but they had a clear meaning.
"They are fools," Probert shouted from the side.
We immediately lightened.
I saw Gemma come out pretending to tidy up, and she picked up her phone on the way.
Galen and I exchanged a knowing glance.
And I was relieved that all the conversation had been recorded.
I was not afraid of them knowing that we said they were uneducated. This was the Dawson family's
Achilles' heel and the best way to destroy them.
What they fear most deep down was us looking down on them. Otherwise, no matter how much they
protested, they wouldn't dare to change Monique's name, would they?
Another point was that Jaylan would love to hear Galen say that the street would be Monique's in the
future. That was exactly what the Dawson family thought. Galen was getting old, and sooner or later
everything here would be ours. This was the essence of it.
It seemed our objective had been met.
Just then, a message popped up.
