Chapter 89 His Money Will All Be Yours
Angela was taken aback. She only knew that the Kinses and Sanderses had a marriage pact, and that
was the extent of it. She didn’t know any other details. Moreover, in her past life, she was young at the
time, so she didn’t think to ask questions.
“A pact with my grandfather? Old Mr. Sanders, do you know my grandfather?” Angela asked curiously.
Her grandfather had passed away many years by the time she was brought back from the countryside.
Moreover, her grandmother rarely mentioned him in the few years she lived with her.
Meeting Angela’s curious gaze, Kevin, with eyes filled with a hint of lament, asked, “Did your
grandmother never mention him to you?”
He couldn’t believe Charlotte never mentioned Henry to Angela despite having raised the young
woman herself for years.
Angela shook her head in response. “No, my grandmother was never one with many words. and
usually prefers to engage with her herbs instead. She barely ever mentioned my grandfather. If
anything, all she said was that he died catching a thief.”
In an instant, many thoughts crossed Angela’s mind.
The Kins should still have been insignificant two decades ago, yet Grandpa managed to make a
marriage pact with Old Mr. Sanders!
“That was how Charlotte explained it to you?!” Kevin pondered, sighing under his breath. “There are
only so few that I ever admire, and your grandfather happened to be one of them. He was a
remarkable figure. Unfortunately, he passed away too soon.”
Angela was taken aback. She had seen a photo of her grandparents together before. In that photo, her
grandfather looked to be in his forties, with a gentle and warm demeanor, wearing gold–rimmed
glasses that showed off his youthful charm. But from his clothing, he seemed like an ordinary person.
Why would Old Mr. Sanders say Grandpa is a remarkable figure? Angela couldn’t comprehend it.
Bruce, seeing that Angela’s attention was fully on Kevin, clicked his tongue disapprovingly. “Why talk
about such gloomy topics? Today is Jon and Angela’s engagement. Talk about something cheerful!”
At that, he turned to Angela with a beaming smile. “Angela, if there’s anything you want to eat, just
speak up. We’re not short of money. In the future, whatever is Jon’s will all be yours.
Splurge all you want!”
Splurge? Oh, hell no! I’ll have to return them all!
Only she and Jonathan were in on the fake marriage agreement. The fact that the two elders. treated
her like their prospective granddaughter–in–law made her guilt–ridden.
Restlessly, Angela nudged Jonathan under the table, then leaned slightly toward him, signaling him to
say something to save the situation.
Without batting an eyelid, Jonathan shifted the refreshments on the table toward Angela, then
whispered into her ear, “We have to play the full act. Others will only think Grandpa is right. What’s
mine is yours. Mrs. Lawson can spend however she likes.”
Touche… Angela couldn’t refute him. Still, she felt the pressure suddenly weighing on her.
Meanwhile, the two elders watched the young couple–one handsome and refined and the other lively
and youthful–whisper to each other and thought they made the perfect pair.
Just then, Donald and his family arrived, and Donald’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Jonathan in a
wheelchair, feeling shocked and somewhat displeased.
Though Angela had mentioned that the groom wasn’t in the best of health, he assumed that the man
was just lacking in strength. Little did he know that it was to the extent of being wheelchair–bound.
Angela had a difficult childhood, and now, even her husband’s disabled… How can he provide her with
a happy and fulfilling life?!
“Hello, I’m Bruce Lawson, Jonathan’s grandfather from his mother’s side. You can just call me Bruce,”
Bruce greeted them warmly, bridging their gap with his words.
Donald shook hands with him and quickly responded, “No, that wouldn’t be right. You’re an elder. I
should call you Mr. Lawson, at least.”
As he looked at the elder before him, Donald thought he looked somewhat familiar, and after a moment
of recollection, he realized he often saw Bruce on television, a notable figure who had participated in
military parades.
Suddenly, his mood grew complicated, and his smile turned somewhat stiffened.
If he’s really the guy on TV, then… Donald’s heart began racing.
Meanwhile, Kevin snorted disapprovingly, disliking Bruce’s tendency to stand out and be in the
spotlight. He approached the Kinses and spoke as gently as he could, “Hello, I’m
Jonathan’s grandfather, Kevin Sanders. Please, have a seat and talk over the meal.”
Donald widened his eyes in surprise, for he thought Kevin’s name also sounded unusually familiar, like
one he frequently heard on the financial channels.
At that, he whispered to his son, “Google if these two elders are the same Bruce Lawson and Kevin
Sanders on TV.”
In two shakes, Quincy handed his phone to his father with a solemn look.
Donald glanced down at the picture and the lengthy introduction of individuals on the screen, and his
heart nearly leaped out of his throat as he stiffly handed the phone back to his
son.
Angela finally found her place and quickly introduced Jonathan to her uncle and aunt. “Uncle Donald,
Aunt Hecate, this is Jonathan.” Then she lowered her head and said to Jonathan, “You can just follow
my lead and call them Uncle Donald and Aunt Hecate.”
Jonathan raised his head slightly, with a hint of a smile on his lips. “Uncle Donald, Aunt Hecate, I am
physically disabled. Please forgive any shortcomings in my service.”
Despite being confined to a wheelchair, his elegant demeanor and graceful countenance were
impeccable.
Then, Angela turned to her cousin. “This is my cousin, Quincy.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Quincy remained silent as he looked at Jonathan for a while, his expression complex. After a few
seconds, he extended his hand. “Mr. Lawson, your name precedes you.”
Jonathan’s deep gaze swept over him, calmly extending his hand to shake. “We’re family now. No
need to be so formal. Since Angela and I are getting married, you’ll be my brother–in- law.”
After Quincy released the handshake, his countenance turned somewhat uneasy. He had a hard time
accepting the fact that the formidable Jonathan Lawson of the business world was smiling gently at
him.
I must still be dreaming!
When Angela didn’t see the familiar figure, she turned to her aunt. “Aunt Hecate, where’s Queenie?
Didn’t she come?”
“Her mother–in–law suddenly fell ill and needed someone to care for her, so she went over.” Hecate
sighed. “It happened too suddenly, or Queenie would definitely have come to discuss. your marriage.”
Angela nodded and pressed her lips together silently, recalling seeing Horace and Lina embracing.
Queenie had sacrificed a lot of her personal time to care for her mother–in–law and husband. However,
not only did she not receive a single gratitude, but she was even being cheated on.
If she were her cousin, she certainly wouldn’t let those adulterers off the hook!
After everyone took their seats, they quickly got down to business.
“Donald, though Jon isn’t in the best shape, and it may be unfair for Angela to marry into our family,
rest assured, I will treat Angela as my granddaughter! I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance!”
Bruce grabbed Donald’s hand, his expression serious as he made the promise.
One who had always been upright, Bruce’s sincere and convincing assurance was particularly
credible.
Kevin sneered, shamelessly obsequious.
In the next instant, he timely joined in, “Marriage is a major event in life. As elders, we cannot be
careless. We’ve already saved on the engagement; the rest of the process cannot be neglected. We’ve
prepared the betrothal gifts. Take a look. If there’s anything else to add, we can discuss it and
accommodate accordingly.”
