Chapter 993


    Chapter 993


    Vicky was imprisoned and fell ill. The whole process took about half a month. She did not expect


    Elijah’s ex-fiance to get married to someone else so quickly.


    “I’m so sorry to hear that,” she said.


    After ruining others’ engagement, she had nothing much to say apart from apologizing.


    ‘My wedding with her was scheduled to be three months from now. I haven’t had the chance to take her


    home and my grandma hasn’t had the chance to meet her yet,” Elijah continued with his gaze resting


    on Vicky. “Once the scandal about us started circting, my grandma mistook you for my fiance and


    was satisfied with your appearance. I’m wondering… I know this is far-fetched… But if you can act as


    my fiance for the time being…” He paused and added,” Considering my grandma’s condition, she won’t


    last another three months… So there probably won’t even be a wedding. Would it be too much to ask if


    you can help to entertain my family?”


    Vicky parted her lips and was unable to reject the question.


    She was the one who caused the engagement to get called off and the victim was asking her for help,


    so she could not possibly reject it.


    “Fear not, Ms. Shaw,” Elijah said. “It’ll just be a charade, and I would nevery a finger on you in any


    way.”


    Due to the news spreading around like wildfire, everyone assumed that Vicky was already his girlfriend.


    Finding a new girlfriend within a short period of time was not as easy as he thought, especially


    considering the conservative mindset of the older generation. It would be hard for them to ept that


    he had just made the news with one woman, only to go and have another girlfriend right away.


    Hence, Elijah had chosen not to rify anything for the past few days.


    Vicky looked at Elijah and said, “Mister Harrisons, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but… I still have a


    bunch of personal issues to deal with, what if-“


    Before Vicky could finish her sentence, Elijah interrupted her. “Ms. Shaw, please rest assured I will


    compensate you sufficiently for this. If you have any requests, feel free to voice them.” Elijah thought


    Vicky was asking for payment.


    Vicky quickly exined, “Mister Harrisons, that’s not what I meant-“


    Before Vicky could finish, an abrupt ringtone interrupted her.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Elijah’s phone was ringing and as soon as he answered the call, he heard the anxious voice of an old


    lady on the other end. “When will my dearest granddaughter-inw arrive?”


    Elijah nced at Vicky and replied warmly, “We’re on our way back now. It’ll take about half an hour


    before we arrive.”


    “Very well, very well,” the olddy said excitedly. “I’ll have the kitchen prepare the meal.” After a pause,


    she asked,” Does she have any dietary restrictions or favorite dishes?” Elijah fell into a dilemma at this


    question.


    He did not know Vicky well enough, certainly not as well as his former fiance, and he could not answer


    his grandmother’s question.


    His grandmother, however, was no ordinary olddy and immediately understood what was going on.


    She angrily eximed, “How can you be so careless about your own wife? Pass the phone to her right


    now. I want to talk to her.”


    Elijah handed the phone to Vicky and said, “Grandma wants to speak with you.” Vicky had no excuse


    to refuse the phone call and reluctantly took the phone. “Hello, Old Madam Harrisons.”


    “Oh, hello there!” Old Madam Harrisons was clearly delighted by her voice. “My dearest granddaughter-


    inw, I’m preparing lunch for you right now. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I’ll inform the kitchen


    immediately.”


    Though they had never met, Old Madam Harrisons’ words warmed Vicky’s heart.
