Married to a Millionaire

Chapter 1

Lisa Manoban had just gotten off the plane after a business trip when his phone vibrated. Looking at the caller ID display, Lisa raised the phone to his ear. His grandfather's calm voice was already coming through, "Lisa, you're off the plane right? Come by tonight."

Lisa had business dinners to attend that night, so as he walked he replied, "I can't get away tonight, how about I come see you tomorrow?"

"I got my physical exam results back, liver cancer," his grandfather said in the same mild tone, calm enough to make Lisa, who had stopped in his tracks, feel somewhat stunned. How could that be...

"Come back, I have something to discuss with you," Lisa's grandfather said before ending the call.

Lisa was still frozen there.

"Mr. Manoban?" His assistant Jisoo saw his abnormal expression and asked in confusion.

Lisa glanced at him but didn't say anything, and continued walking forward.

The spacious arrival hall was already packed with reporters, all there for Lisa.

His family's Manoban Group had just successfully won an important French tender, making domestic competing companies green with envy. But the reporters weren't concerned with Manoban Group's business success. What they were interested in was a romantic scandal involving the group's CEO Lisa Manoban in Paris.

After all, not only was Lisa worth billions, even his features were so handsome they could outshine any old or young celebrity. In all of the country, those richer than him weren't as young and cool, and those cooler than him weren't nearly as wealthy! Relying solely on his face and long legs, this 28 year old entrepreneur had attracted tens of millions of fans, even though he rarely posted anything new to his social media.

"He's here!"

The disembarking passengers began to emerge one by one. At nearly six foot one, Lisa stood head and shoulders above the others, his tall and slender figure perfectly showcased in a black suit. Low key was impossible. No one knew who rushed over first, but it seemed in the blink of an eye reporters encircled Lisa, startling onlookers unfamiliar with him into thinking he must be some huge celebrity and whipping out their phones to start filming.

"Mr. Manoban, is it true that Miss Diana is your college classmate, and you two used to date?"

"When does Mr. Manoban plan to announce the relationship?"

"Was the encounter with Miss Diana in Paris really a coincidence?"

"Did Mr. Manoban invest because of Miss Diana?"

All kinds of questions were fired at Lisa in quick succession. But Lisa didn't hear any of them. The only thing in his mind was his grandfather saying "liver cancer," to the point where he couldn't even remember how he got into the car. Picking up its master, the black Maybach steadily drove out of the airport with Lisa spacing out in the back, not regaining his senses for a long time.

He started looking up information related to liver cancer.

Over an hour later, the Maybach stopped in front of the Manoban family's old residence, a tidy and tranquil courtyard. Lisa got out and headed inside, ignoring the manservants and maids he passed and making straight for his grandfather's room, finally finding him under an old locust tree in the back courtyard.

Lisa's grandfather was playing chess with his only son, Lisa's father. The richest father and son duo were dressed in the most ordinary leisure wear. If not for their bearing, they'd be no different from ordinary middle aged father and son. Hearing footsteps, they both glanced at Lisa before continuing their game.
