Chapter 553

Valerie was the absolute protagonist of the banquet. No matter how unhappy Fred and his father were, they could only silently sit at the side and p on a smile.

After all, Matthew had the final say in the Grant family. If they upset him, they might be sent to some remote or desolate place again,

Seeing that there was a harmonious atmosphere, the passive–aggressive relatives did not dare to say anything. They could only stand at the side silently. However, they could not help but retreat in fear under Matthew’s sharp gaze. In the end, they could only stay in a corner.

On the other hand, Fred’s mother, Carrie Grant, was relatively clear–headed. Unlike Lincoln, who only gave Fred an insincere reprimand, Carrie feh apologetic from the bottom of her heart.

While Matthew was away, she seized the opportunity to grab Valerie and apologized profusely. It was obvious that she was very embarrassed.

Valerie was cold toward Fred’s family. Regardless of whether Carrie was sincere or not, Valerie did not want to have any interaction with her.

When Carrie saw this, she pulled her back. “Valerie, wait

She took off her brooch and placed it in Valerie’s hand. She sud embarrassedly. “I’m really sorry about what happened today. This is a gift from Lincoln when he proposed to me back then. I heard that it’s expensive. I noticed that it caught your eye. Please accept this.”

Valerie quickly declined. “Since it’s a love token, how can I accept it?

Carrie said. “This is a token of apology. At the same time, I hope that you can be happier after accepting this gift and have a lasting relationship w

with Matthew. Lincoln and I have a good relationship all these years. Unfortunately, I was in bad health after giving birth to Fred, so I neglected him and did not raise him properly. As a result. Fred grew up to be so unruly today. I wonder if getting married might help him settle down…

When Valerie heard her say that, she could not help but take a few more glances at Carrie. She knew that Carrie was sincere,

However, it was indeed a pity that she had given birth to such an unreasonable and useless son

Valerie did not have a good impression of Lincoln either. However, Lincoln must have treated Carrie well, which was why they still had a sweet relationship even in their middle age.

“But I still can’t accept this gift…

Before Valerie could finish her sentence, Carrie quickly put down the brooch and ran away, afraid that Valerie would return it

Valerie had no other choice but to keep the brooch for the time being. She planned to get someone to deliver it to Carrie later. However, little did she know that this brooch almost caused a huge disaster later on!

Fred watched from afar as Valerie was surrounded by other people. She was the center of admiration and focus. His eyes were filled with jealousy. Thinking about the bitch back home and looking at the woman in front of him, Fred suddenly felt upset.

Lincoln nudged him, indicating that he had to put on an act no matter what Otherwise, if Sophia found out, she would probably blame him again,

At this moment, Leon came over. The dishes are ready, Why don’t all of us take a seat first! Mrs. Grant is pregnant, after all!*

Sophia quickly nodded. “Yes, yes. Come and sit beside me, Valerie. It’s already so late, I wouldn’t want you to starve,”

Valerie sat obediently beside Sophia. Matthew guarded Valerie. Knowing that she was embarrassed, he personally helped to serve her and refill her water, truly embracing the role of an exemplary husband.

Everyone at the scene teased him.

“Matthew is so con

“He’s indeed different after getting married!

“They’re really a match made in heaven. Look carefully, the two of them even look aliker”

“Yeah, this is fare. In

of looks, Valerie and Matthew are really compatible. They also have good personalities. Matthew has got good taste?”

During the meal, Valerie and Mathew received countless praises. Fred raised his head, downing the wine in one gulp. He was extremely depressed.

Matthew turned a blind eye. He had already achieved his goal for tonight’s hariquet. He did not care about anything else.

After the banquet ended, the two elderly looked a little tired. Matthew tactfully stood up with Valerie and hade farewell to them. The other guests also left one after another

On the way back, Valerie could not help but sigh. “”Ldidn’t expect them to be so enthusiastic. There are so many people. It’s so lively!

“There will be a lot of people during the New Year, right?”

Matthew nodded. “Yes, the Grant family is a big family. We also have many distant relatives.

“But don’t worry, after today, no one will look down on your

Valerie replied, “Indeed. After all, 1 have Mr. Grant as my backer!”

They looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, Matthew’s phone rang. It was Charles.

“Mr. Gram, everything is ready”
