I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 70

Gunther looked more haggard, and his eyes showed a faint sadness. He chatted with Gabriel for a while. Being in his old age, Gabriel dozed off in the middle of their conversation.

Gunther turned around and looked at his daughter. She was looking out of the window in a daze.

His daughter was obviously depressed these days, and it was particularly evident today.

He was worried about his daughter’s relationship with Oliver before, but she had never openly expressed her feelings to him. And after he had a frank conversation with Oliver, the latter decided to leave definitively.

To be honest, Gunther had a good impression of Oliver. Although he had no status, he was really skilled and did not have the nasty personality he imagined.

There were few young men like Oliver nowadays. What was more, Gabriel complimented on his identification skills once. “Oliver’s identification skills are even better than those of the older generation!”

Gabriel was one of the few people Gunther respected most in his life.

Even Gabriel thought highly of Oliver, so one could only imagine how capable the young man was.

Gunther now regretted that he had gone too far with Oliver.

Gabriel had expressed to Gunther that Oliver might play a pivotal role in determining the success of their journey.

It was because Oliver was the one who recognized those two maps. If it were not for him, neither he nor Gabriel would recognize them.

However, Gunther was also helpless because they had only two-thirds of the map tokens, and the last piece was still missing. However, Gunther had no time to wait. Even when he could not find the last map token, he had no choice but to make the first move.

Nonetheless, Gunther and Gabriel did not expect that Oliver had actually seen the most important map token. He also remembered it.

It was the Eye Sculpture.

Gunther had never seen his daughter as haggard and silent as she was now. He wondered if she really liked Oliver. However, it did not look like it. Even if she really liked Oliver, there was nothing she could do now.

Oliver brought a girl here today. Looking at her intimate relationship with Oliver, he could tell that she and Oliver were lovers. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The girl was as beautiful as his daughter Hailey.

The girl possessed elegance without being vulgar and beauty without being alluring. She exuded a sense of seriousness and sincerity.

Gunther sighed in his heart as he thought, “Oliver is a lucky man.” Then, he asked Hailey, “Hailey, are you feeling unwell?” Hailey turned around and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Gunther stopped and sighed. “Hailey, when you come back from Enchanting Hollow of Mount Rockenan this time, I think we should just… cancel your marriage with Julian. I won’t force you

anymore as long as you live a good life. I-I will be gone in the future. You have to take good care of yourself!”

Hailey burst into tears and cried, “Dad, please don’t say that. You will come back with me as well. As long as you are fine, I will listen to you from now on!”

Gunther sighed and looked out of the window. The white clouds were floating beneath them

“Can I come back? Only fate can tell,” he murmured in his mind.

After a while, Gunther withdrew his gaze and looked at his daughter again. Hailey tilted her head, casting a furtive glance behind her.

She was looking at Oliver and his beautiful girlfriend.

Seeing the loneliness reflected in her face and the hint of tears in her eyes, Gunther was suddenly struck with a realization. He mused, “Hailey has feelings for Oliver! She likes him!”

Gunther suddenly felt regretful. He should not have been so cruel to Oliver before.

After a while, Gunther turned his head and coughed twice before saying, “Hailey…”

“What’s the matter, Dad?”

Gunther turned his head. Hailey had wiped away her tears, and her expression returned to normal.

Gunther gestured toward Oliver, who was seated in the economy class behind them, and said, “Go and bring him here. I want to have a private conversation with him.”

“Okay.” Hailey stood up and walked to Oliver.

Oliver was chatting with Sienna happily while holding her hand. He stopped when he saw Hailey walking toward him.

“Oliver, my dad asked you to talk with him.”

Oliver hummed in response, let go of Sienna’s hand, and stood up.

Hailey pondered for a while and then sat down on Oliver’s seat. She looked at Sienna and said, “Hello, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Hailey.”.

“I’m Sienna.” Sienna also looked at her and generously introduced herself.

When the eyes of the two beautiful women met, a spark seemed to ignite between them.

Oliver went to the business class section and sat in an empty seat.

Gunther cast a glance at the distant Hailey before turning his attention to Oliver, whose face was exhibiting a mix of) indifference and calmness. He smiled wryly and asked, “Oliver, do you still resent me?”

Oliver said lightly, “No.”

Gunther sighed. “I only have one daughter and have poured all my love and trust into her. Since Hailey was young, I meticulously planned and arranged everything for her. When she entered kindergarten, I even went as far as buying the entire kindergarten to ensure she wouldn’t be bullied by other children. As Hailey moved on to elementary school, I enrolled her in a prestigious private institution where I held the largest stake as an investor. Throughout her childhood and into her adulthood, I always feared that she would face hardships or be mistreated, so I took it upon myself to orchestrate every aspect of her life, even including her future marriage.”

Gunther paused before he continued, “But now, I am faced with a terminal illness, and my time is running out. It has made me reflect on my actions, Oliver.”

When Gunther made that statement, his gaze fixed on Oliver with a mixture of hope and anticipation. “Oliver, my daughter, Hailey, she has feelings for you!”

Oliver was stunned and shook his head. “No way. I-I always thought I wasn’t good enough for her.”

Gunther stared at Oliver and said in a low voice, “Oliver, don’t doubt what I say. If you promise to marry Hailey, I am willing to give you half of my wealth. My net worth exceeds 1 billion dollars.”

Half of 1 billion dollars would be 500-million dollars.

Gunther’s words would indeed shock Oliver if it happened in the past. But now, he had made 120 million dollars from a single deal. 500 million dollars were not that much for him.

He could make that amount perhaps in just a few months at most.

Of course, the most important thing was that he already had Sienna.

Oliver didn’t think much about Gunther’s words and shook his head with conviction, replying promptly, “Mr. Fox, I appreciate your offer, but I can’t accept it. I already have a girlfriend, and I’m committed to her. I assume I don’t need to introduce her to you again.”

Gunther was stunned for a moment. Oliver refused to take his offer of half of his wealth. He pondered for a moment and considered whether offering him all the money would make a difference.

However, before he could voice his thoughts, Oliver preemptively responded, “Mr. Fox, for me, it’s no longer about money. Love is what truly matters. I cannot trade my feelings for my girlfriend for any amount of wealth. Hailey is not only my boss but also someone who has shown me kindness. If she

ever needs anything, I am willing to go to great lengths to support her, even if it means sacrificing my life. However, this has nothing to do with romantic love.”

“This has nothing to do with romantic love,” Gunther repeated the words in his mind.

Gunther had never encountered someone who could resist the allure of such immense wealth. Oliver was the first person to do so.

As he thought about his daughter’s forlorn and brokenhearted expression, he could not help but feel a pang of distress.
