    Chapter 337


    Granny Anita’s intention was quite clear.


    Julie’s heart leapt for joy. She feigned shyness and said, “Not yet, Granny. If you know any eligible


    bachelors, feel free to introduce me. Just the other day, my folks were nudging me about


    it.”


    “Good, good.” Granny Anita held Julie’s hands, her eyes soft with kindness, “I remember you would


    oftene over to y when you were a child. You used to say you’d marry Herman. You two would


    make a handsome pair. How about marrying into my family?”


    This proposition delighted Julie, and she struggled to hide her excitement. “Granny, really?” Julie


    chuckled, “I’d be thrilled to be your granddaughter-inw. But, Herman is already married.”


    “If you agree, leave the rest to me. You’ve already called me Granny. So, consider yourself my


    granddaughter-inw.” Granny Anita was fond of Julie. Although the Browns didn’t quite match up to


    the Salstroms, they were still respectable. Plus, Julie used to y at the Salstroms’ when she was a


    kid. Granny Anita had watched her grow up and knew her quite well, which made her even more


    pleased.

    With Granny Anita’s blessing, Julie felt one step closer to bing Mrs. Salstrom.


    “Granny, truth be told, I’ve always had feelings for Herman. But fate had other ns. Herman suddenly


    married this girl named Anastasia and I was heartbroken for a while.” Julie paused for effect, “But I’ve


    come to terms with it. If Herman is happy, that’s all that matters. Your approval delights me, Granny.


    Even if I can’t be your granddaughter-inw, I’m content.”


    Granny Anita was touched by Julie’s words, and her affection for her grew. She squeezed Julie’s hand


    and said, “Herman would be lucky to have you.”


    Julie blushed and said, “Granny, you’re too kind. I heard that Herman brought Anastasia today. The


    other debutantes are all wondering who she is. I’ve seen Anastasia. She’s very pretty. They make a


    handsome couple. But…”


    “But what?” Granny Anita asked, intrigued.


    Julie hesitated before saying, “Granny, I don’t mean to gossip, but I don’t want you or the Salstroms to


    be kept in the dark. Anastasia used to be a street vendor. I heard people talking about her humble


    beginnings and how she’s not a good match for Herman. The Salstroms are a distinguished family.


    Marrying a poor, uneducated girl would be aughing stock.


    “A street vendor?” Granny Anita frowned. This revtion made her dislike Anastasia even more.


    Julie nodded, “Yes, Granny. Didn’t you know? Anastasia used to sell trinkets at the Night Market. She


    didn’t even go to college. I don’t know what Herman sees in her. Maybe he’s taken by her beauty.”


    “Only a high school diploma?” Granny Anita’s displeasure grew, “Herman must be bewitched. The


    Salstroms can’t marry an uneducated woman.”


    “Maybe Herman really loves her.” Julie suggested, adding fuel to the fire, “Anastasia’s humble


    beginnings andck of education are irrelevant if Herman loves her. But I heard Anastasia is barren.


    Doesn’t that mean the end of the Salstrom line?”


    This information lit Granny Anita’s fuse. Upon hearing Anastasia was infertile, Granny Anita pped


    the table in anger, “Foolish, utterly foolish! Herman is clearly bewitched by that woman. The Salstrom


    lineage can’t end like this.”


    “Granny, please calm down.” Julie consoled her insincerely, “Don’t let this upset you. And please don’t


    mention I told you this. Herman would be furious. I’ve had a minor disagreement with Anastasia before


    and Herman was quite upset with me. He even lied about being infertile for Anastasia. He must be


    deeply in love with her.”


    “What? There’s more?” Granny Anita stood up abruptly, “Where is Anastasia? I need to see the woman


    who has my grandsonpletely bewitched.”
