Chapter 365

Simon said, "Hmm? What did you say? Lately, my ears haven't been too good. Getting older, sometimes I can't hear what people are saying." Simon clearly pretended to be oblivious; the topic of a raise was out of the question.

Andrew gritted his teeth. 'At this moment, this old man says he's getting older. Do you believe that if I offer Apex Urban University an investment of several million, his ears would instantly get better?'

Simon asked Yvette, "Grand-aunt, where are you going? Back to the school dormitory or?"

Yvette lifted her delicate features, raised her eyebrows, and spoke in a detached tone, "The Chambers family."

All three in the car looked at her simultaneously. 'At this moment, going back to the Chambers residence?*

Yvette ignored their gazes, resting her chin on her hand and looking out the window. Her dark eyes were deep and profound.

At the Chambers family villa, Zachary looked at the group of relatives sitting on the sofa-almost ten people ranging from seventy to thirteen or fourteen years old. Zachary felt a bit headache and helpless. With all these old and young people, how am I supposed to ask them to leave?'

Ever since Yvette became famous on TV, these relatives had been coming to the Chambers family like flies every day, impossible to get rid of. Some elders, who usually had little contact, suddenly showed up for several consecutive days. Who were they really here for? When Lucas walked in and saw the people in the living room, his mind went blank. 'Ever since grand-aunt became famous, the Chambers family threshold has almost been breached. We sent some away yesterday, and today so many more have arrived. It's endless.'Lucas approached Zachary and whispered a few words.

An elderly lady in her seventies, with gray hair and clearly a shrewd woman, kept looking at the two. After Lucas finished speaking and stepped aside, the old lady became animated. "Oh, Zachary, what is Lucas talking about? We're all family here What's there to not listen to? What's the matter? Are you being suspicious of us?"

The old lady was Zachary's grand-aunt. She married into the Lommore family when she was a teenager and rarely returned to Seacrity. Since Zachary's mother passed away, the two families hadn't had much contact, only exchanging gifts during festivals out of courtesy. When the grand-aunt started speaking, the other Chambers family members who were visiting fell silent.

At this moment, a woman dressed flamboyantly in designer brands stepped forward. "Grandma, Zachary, we're all part of the Chambers family. You're the closest to us. Uncle won't guard against us, right?" The woman was openly speaking on Zachary's behalf but also had her own agenda. She had important matters to handle today.

Upon hearing this, the old lady's expression noticeably softened.

Zachary merely responded to them without causing a scene, explaining to give both sides a way out. "Grand-aunt, you've got it wrong. Lucas was talking about some business matters. It's too boring, and he was worried you'd get bored. Please don't take it to heart." The old lady knew that today's Chambers family and Zachary were different from before. She didn't know what kind of luck Zachary had-replaceing a daughter who had been missing for over twenty years, bringing her back, and having her represent the country in competitions, even winning and becoming the Goddess of Clusia. This also elevated Zachary's status.

The old lady knew she was relying on the reputation of Zachary's late mother and dared not overstep. After all, she had her own intentions in coming all the way to Seacrity. She smiled kindly at Zachary and began reminiscing about the past. Zachary held his coffee cup, listening more and more uneasily. His face showed no emotion, and he didn't respond, letting her talk about her childhood.

The others were very supportive, laughing heartily at times and appearing deeply moved at others.

Finally, seeing that the old lady had said so much and Zachary still wasn't responding, she bit her lip and had to abruptly shift the topic to her own purpose. "Zachary, I'm old now and have no particular wishes left in this life. There's just one thing I've been worried about, and that's why I'm here today."

Zachary paused, set down his cup, and moved his jaw before speaking. "What are you talking about? If you have something to say, go ahead and tell me. Let me see if I can help." Zachary wasn't foolish; he left room in his response, handling what he could and absolutely not agreeing to things he couldn't.

Hearing this, the old lady knew Zachary had left an opening. Although she was somewhat displeased, she had no choice. If this matter went through, the future of the Chambers family would be hers, and she wouldn't have to argue with Zachary anymore. The old lady maintained the denieanor of a refined lady and said to Zachary, "Zachary, I have a grandson. He's 27 years old, a very excellent young man, the only male in our family. He graduated from a prestigious university, has a good personality and looks great. His future is limitless. I was thinking that keeping the wealth within the family is best. Your Yvette doesn't have a boyfriend yet, does she? I think they would be a perfect match. What do you think?"

Zachary was stunned. He really didn't expect the old lady to set her sights on Yvette. 'Shameless, thinking I don't know that this so-called promising grandson is a notorious playboy in Lommore, very flirtatious. Their family paid for him to study abroad to polish him, and he still hasn't found a job since he returned. 'How did she know so much? It was thanks to a business trip he took to Lommore once, where his business partners told him. Otherwise, he might have easily been fooled by the old lady.

Before Zachary could say anything, the others began to praise the old lady one after another.

"I think grand-aunt is right. Keeping the wealth within the family is best. Yvette is so outstanding. If she marries someone else, who knows how much pressure she might face. Marrying grand-aunt's grandson would definitely ensure a good life."

"I agree. Mr. Chambers, this match is a perfect match made in heaven. You mustn't miss this opportunity." "The Chambers family is a prestigious lineage in Lommore. Yvette won't regret marrying into our family."

"Yes, with parental matchmaking, if you agree, Yvette definitely won't object."

Lucas stood to the side, watching the members of the Chambers family with their shameless attitudes. 'This is ridiculous, toads trying to eat swan meat. Does she even know what kind of person Grand-aunt is now? And this old lady is seriously thinking her grandson could marry Grand-aunt? What a joke! She should take a good look at herself!'

Zachary sneered. 'Do these people really think I'm a paper tiger: Just because I've been polite, they dare say such shameless things? Her useless grandson wants to marry my daughter? Keep dreaming!'

None of these people had ever met Yvette, but they sure acted close, calling her "Yvette" like they knew her.

Zachary looked at the people on the sofa, all deep in discussion, and said coldly, "Grand-aunt, let's drop this. I'm not getting involved in Yvette's marriage. She can marry whoever she wants. Your grandson should look elsewhere."
