Julian's Stand in Wife

Chapter 1479

Oliver wasn't willing to take over the family business. He was happiest when he worked as a doctor.

But because of Kenneth's deteriorating health, Oliver was forced to work for the family. Bogged down by the overwhelming demands of business, Oliver no longer had the chance to pick up his beloved scalpel.

Although Oliver never spoke a word about it, Kenneth knew that his son wasn't happy working for the company.

He couldn't even be with Diana, the woman he loved. Thankfully, he fell in love with Fanny, who loved him with all her heart.

Kenneth was delighted to see that.

He was a father with a penchant for manipulating his son.
