Chapter 641: Chapter 641: I Raise Greta, and Greta Raises Her

Stella was anxious, when she heard Scarlett continue to speak to Olivia,

“You can choose not to go back, but you have to make it clear to them, otherwise they will think you are missing.”

Scarlett didn’t say who “they” were, but Olivia knew.

She lowered her head and once again confirmed with Scarlett that she wouldn’t be sent back before nodding,

“I’ll go say goodbye to my uncle.”

Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Greta slightly lowered her head with a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Did she still have an uncle?

“But this matter is not urgent.”

One must always arrange a place for the little girl before taking her back to clarify things.

Although under normal circumstances, orphans with both parents deceased are prioritized for adoption by relatives, the child’s own wishes must also be considered.

If the relatives are not wealthy, and the child doesn’t want to live with them, there is no need to force her back.

Of course, Greta’s situation is certainly not suitable for living with a child.

The child can only be attached to places like an orphanage.

Upon hearing this, Stella finally understood and immediately said,

“The director of Ashton Todd’s orphanage is quite good, and the child can be placed there. In the future, I’ll support Greta, Greta you work and support her!”

Stella’s last sentence was directed at Greta, having already defaulted the two to a contractual relationship, and even planned to cultivate his ability to make money.

Greta, suddenly called out and asked to earn money, looked bewildered once again.

However, soon he saw Olivia looking at him.

His gaze moved from the child’s face to her clean new clothes, finally understanding what making money meant.

So he nodded,

“Earn money, wear new clothes.”

If previously, he hadn’t yet felt tangible about Scarlett’s idea of a contract with him.

Now, he wanted to be contracted quickly.

Because the contract represented living like a normal person, earning money, and supporting Olivia.

The matter was settled just like that.

Because Scarlett and Stella needed to study the contract matter, Olivia’s affair was directly handed over to Samuel to handle.

Not knowing what connections he used, the procedures were all completed by the next day.

Scarlett then called on Olivia, preparing to take her back to see her uncle.

At that time, Greta was sitting in the living room intently watching TV, and upon hearing the voice, he stood up abruptly, although he didn’t speak, his intention to follow was clear.

Scarlett conveniently took him along too.

Stella didn’t follow, she stayed home to prepare for tonight’s contract ceremony.

After yesterday’s research, Scarlett made some enhanced adjustments to Stella’s Corpse Ghost Contract, aiming to ensure Undying Bone couldn’t easily break the contract.

The two sides agreed to formally finalize the contract tonight, but at that moment no one could have anticipated how unexpectedly things would unfold.

…

Things started out quite smoothly.

Scarlett called upon the police to accompany her as Olivia was taken back to her uncle’s home.

Olivia had previously run away from home, and her uncle had been worried all along. Upon seeing Olivia, he almost burst into tears,

“You, this child! Why did you run away?! If you got lost! If anything happened outside… how would I explain it to your mom, my sister?! Huh?!”

Her uncle truly cared for this child and wanted to take good care of her.

Her aunt, relieved to see her returned, was mostly worried that if something happened outside, her husband would blame her for a lifetime. Seeing Olivia safely back, she couldn’t help but blame,

“You are really too thoughtless, running away from home for such a long time without a word. For all I knew, people might think I abused you! While you were away enjoying your freedom, I was almost accused unjustly!”

“The child has finally come back, just shut up now!”

Scarlett, along with the police who came, understood why the child wanted to leave.

The uncle might be good, but if staying would cause constant arguments in her uncle’s home, she’d rather not be there.

“You don’t need to argue. Olivia won’t stay at your home. We’ve already handled the paperwork, and she will be leaving Peaceful City with us.”

Saying this, Scarlett suddenly glanced at her uncle, seriously saying,

“Olivia has found a very excellent adoptive parent who is well-qualified in all aspects, she will have a good life from now on.”

Her uncle, hearing Scarlett’s words, was still somewhat incredulous, hurriedly asked Olivia if this was true.

Instead, her aunt’s gaze fell on Olivia’s brand new and seemingly expensive clothes, and she opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally shut up under her uncle’s angry glare.

Because Olivia said she wanted to be adopted, her uncle reluctantly accepted, but before letting her leave with them, he wanted to keep Olivia at home for one more meal.

As compensation for his role as uncle, his last companionship with his niece.

Olivia agreed, and Scarlett along with the others naturally didn’t mind, leaving them the time, while Scarlett and Samuel took Greta to a nearby mall to pass the time.

It was Greta’s first time shopping, his eyes filled with novelty, lingering on everything they passed for a long time, until they came across a children’s clothing store, he suddenly couldn’t move.

Scarlett seeing him standing there longingly, thought for a moment and said,

“You can go in and choose, pay me back with your earnings in the future.”

Greta had always heard about making money, but he actually didn’t know how to make it.

However, since they all said he could earn, he figured he certainly could make money.

Thus, right after Scarlett’s words fell, he went straight in, picked out several outfits based on the style Olivia wore today.

When they finished shopping, it was already an hour and a half later.

On their way back with the purchases, Olivia’s uncle was at the community playground with her after their meal.

Seeing her swaying quietly on a swing, he thought about it, left her there for a moment to buy snacks from a convenience store nearby.

The uncle thought there were other children and adults beside her, believing she’d be safe here.

Little did he know, right after he left, the kids at the playground left with their parents.

From a lively playground, it quickly became quiet, with Olivia the only one left.

She leisurely swung on the swing, just waiting for her uncle to pick her up.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of her.

Olivia looked up to see a middle-aged man standing before her, smiling kindly and asking,

“Little girl, why are you alone here? Shall uncle take you to find your parents?”

Olivia looked at him warily, then shook her head.

The man asked again, “Do you want cake? Uncle will buy you cake?”

This time Olivia didn’t hesitate any further, jumping off the swing to run towards the convenience store, but just as she took the first step, a big hand grabbed at her fiercely from behind.

Olivia was lifted up completely, instinctively opened her mouth to scream,

“Uncle… mmm!”

The man tightly covered her mouth, disregarding her struggles, quickly carrying her into a nearby alley without surveillance.

Meanwhile, Greta was carrying things and walking on the path, suddenly feeling something, his eyes turned entirely black.

In the next second, he disappeared from where he stood.
