Chapter 83 Keep An Eye on My Father-in-Law

Meanwhile.

After the Finley family members left the hotel, they quickened their pace to catch up with Damian.

Lloyd, Irvin, and Murray walked behind.

When they saw the cars in front leaving, Lloyd stopped and said to Murray, "Keep an eye on Sherman."

Murray didn't quite understand.

Irvin was also confused, but he directly asked, "Are you serious? You just got engaged to his daughter, and now you're keeping an eye on your father-in-law? Are you planning to sabotage your relationship?"

Lloyd glanced at him without much expression and said, "He might have the potion."

Irvin and Murray widened their eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

After a while, Irvin finally returned to his senses, "The potion? Sherman? Are you serious?"

Sherman came from the Geller family, but he appeared quite ordinary. How could such an important thing as the potion be in his hands?

Lloyd pursed his lips, his stern face showing no emotions, "I found out that the potion is related to Gianna's mother. Sherman will give something to Brenna, and it's likely the potion."

"Then what are you waiting for? We should find him right away! How can we let him give the potion to Brenna? Is he trying to get himself killed?" Irvin was getting anxious.

The potion was a vital thing and was bound to cause a stir.

Orders had been given to find the potion, even at the cost of their lives.

GT Organization had sent assassins, and they were already in Rheinsville City. Whoever had the potion would undoubtedly die.

Besides, several other groups of people were also searching for the potion. Whoever had it was holding a hot potato.

If Sherman possessed it, didn't hide it properly, and even publicly mentioned giving it to Brenna, it was like he was asking for trouble.

"We can't go!" Lloyd said in a low voice, "We are not sure if what he wants to give Brenna is the potion, and we're not sure if he's as friendly as he appears. We can't let him know it." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Lloyd looked up and said to Murray, "You keep an eye on Sherman. Once you confirm that he's giving the potion to Brenna, seize it immediately!"

Stealing wasn't his usual way of doing things, but given the gravity of the situation and the need to avoid alerting anyone prematurely, they had no choice but to snatch it.

"Got it." Murray nodded solemnly.

Lloyd paused momentarily and added, "Don't do it yourself. Send someone else."

"I understand."

Fallingwater Community.

After returning home, Sherman called Gianna and said, "Gia, there's something I want to tell you."

Gianna stopped and sat on the sofa, "What is it?"

She had initially intended to ask Sherman what he would give to Brenna. Since Sherman had something to say, she wanted to hear him out first.

Over these days of interacting with Sherman, she felt that he was sincere.

However, she couldn't be sure when it came to the potion.

She had met all sorts of people, and if Sherman's honesty and kindness were merely a facade, then he was exceptionally skilled at pretending.

She hoped her judgment wouldn't be wrong.

She didn't want the image of Sherman in her heart to be ruined.

"Well, you see..." Sherman pressed his lips together, and after some consideration, he continued, "Your mother was an excellent perfumer. When she married me, she created several perfumes. These perfumes helped the Geller family rise from a declining status to its current splendor."

Gianna nodded.

She knew her mother was a perfumer.

Her mother had many identities, but the Geller family only knew her as a perfumer.

Without interrupting, Gianna waited for Sherman to continue.

"Your mother called me once after she left. She gave me the formula for one of the perfumes. She had created twenty-eight perfume formulas and used eight of them during her time in the Geller family. After she left, I never took out these formulas again. But now, I've decided to give your grandmother one of these perfume formulas."

Sherman looked at Gianna with caution, afraid that she might get angry. After all, those were relics of her mother.

After Nora left with Gianna all those years ago, he had searched frantically but in vain.

One day, Nora called him and told him she had left the formula in one of the books on his bookshelf. Soon after, he received the news that she had passed away.

He was heartbroken. Upon finding the perfume formula, he decided never to use it, feeling that the Geller family didn't deserve to enjoy the prosperity that Nora had brought.

But now, he had to bring it out.

Brenna was like a leech, depending on others for money. She had taken advantage of Sherman before, and now she was taking advantage of Gianna.

By handing over the formula and severing all ties with the Geller family, he could bring peace to his family.

Gianna was taken aback. She hadn't expected Sherman to be talking about perfume formulas. When she heard he wanted to use something to sever ties with Brenna, she thought it was about the potion.

Seeing her silent look, Sherman thought she was furious and hurriedly said, "Gia, I know you have a deep bond with your mother. I don't want to give away the perfume formula, either. But... your grandmother has gone too far. Today, on your engagement day, with so many people around, she acted outrageously. If I don't give her the formula to shut her up, she might continue causing trouble."

"I thought of using the formula to secure peace in our family, but it belongs to your mother. And I need your consent for this. If you're unwilling, I..." Sherman paused before continuing, "I'll look for

investors tomorrow."

After all, Brenna originally wanted 2 million dollars, and he could tell her later that the formula was missing, and the Geller family wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Gianna remained silent momentarily before speaking slowly, "Mr. Geller, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead," he replied.

"You know the value of my mother's formula. Why didn't you use it for money during these difficult years in the Geller family?" Gianna looked at him and continued, "There are so many companies that make perfumes, and you could have sold it to any of them to improve your life,"

"Gia, you don't understand," Sherman sighed, "I owe your mother too much. She did so much for this family, but I haven't done anything for her. I promised her I would protect her, but I failed..."

Suddenly, tears welled up in Sherman's eyes, "Before she passed away, I didn't even get to see her for the last time. This formula is the last thing she left us, and I don't want to treat it as a commodity to exchange for wealth and prosperity."

Gianna looked at Sherman, trying to see through any pretense in his eyes, but she only saw genuine emotion.

After a moment, Gianna asked again, "Did my mother only give you the perfume formula? Did she leave anything else?"

Sherman paused, wanting to say something, but it took him a while before he replied, "No, she only gave me the perfume formula."

The trace of panic in his eyes didn't escape Gianna's notice, but she didn't press further. She said, "Mr. Geller, it's up to you. You don't need to ask me. If my mother gave it to you, then it's yours."

With that, she got up and left. At the corner, she paused for a moment. "Mr. Geller, I hope you're worth it."
