Chapter 556
Matthew smiled, but it was obvious that he was unwilling to say anything-
Valerie asked and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me!”
Valerie pretended to be angry, but she was still looking forward to whatever
ver Matthew was nning. What exactly was this guy up to?
11 was the weekend <b>three </b>dayster. Valerie did not need to work as the production crew had one day off. Hence, on this <b>day</b>, Matthew brought Valerie <b>back </b>to the Grant Manor.
Charles and the others helped to move their luggage over. The Grant Manor was crowded and bustling with activity. Leon and the servants had alreadypleted <b>all </b>the preparations before Matthew and Valerie’s arrival.
Valerie had officially moved into the Grant Manor. Sophia and Nn thoughtfully sent many items and gifts from various other families.
When Valerie went over, she was a little surprised. When she <b>saw </b>the house filled withrge and small packages, she was stunned and said, “Isn’t this
a bit <b>excessive</b>!!
Matthewughed. “They know that you’re moving in, so treat all these <b>as </b>housewarming gifts.”
“How can <b>I </b><b>ept</b>
ept all these?” Valerie asked.
asy about epting their gifts once <b>again</b>.
Previously, she had already received a gift bag at the family banquet Valerie felt a little uneasy
Matthew could tell that she was feeling uneasy. “If you feel that it’s inappropriate, you can buy them a gift in return or treat them to a meal,” he suggested.
<b>Valerie </b>thought about it and realized that would be the best approach.
Since most of the rtives were here, naturally Fred and his family were here too, <b>trying </b><b>to </b>curry <b>favor </b>with Sophia.
Fred <b>was </b>not willing <b>to </be. It was finally the weekend<b>, </b>and he would have preferred to go out and hang out with some girls. However, Carrie insisted that hee and <b>make </b>a good impression because he had upser Matthew and Sophiast time. She insisted that hee and make a good Impression on Sophia. At the very least, showing up was akin to showing respect <b>to </b>Sophia.
Carrie wanted toe too, <b>but </b>she caught <b>a </b>cold.
Valerie remembered that Carrie’s brooch was with her. She originally nned to return the brooch to Carrie when she saw Carrie today. However, Carrie was absent <b>from </b>this gathering Valerie did not know when would be the next time she saw Carric,
Hence, Valerie <b>found </b>Lincoln and handed the brooch to <b>him</b>.
“Oh, I recognize this brooch. Rest <b>assured</b>, I will bring this back to her, Lincoln said.
Valerie originally wanted to continue speaking, but it seemed that Lincoln recognized this brooch because of how much <b>Carrie </b>cherished this When she saw Lincoln casually cing the brooch inta <b>his </b>pocket, Valerie was at a <b>loss </b>for words<b>. </b>She felt <b>that </b>there <b>was </b>something strange about Tum, but she could not pinpoint what it was.
After she left, Lincoln saw Fred walking over with <b>his </b>head lowered. He was so angry that he <b>smacked </b>Fred. “You fool, look at what Matthew is like now <b>and </b>then look <b>at </b>yourself. Do you think you have a respected standing <b>in </b>this <b>family</b>? if you don’t shape up, don’t ever think of establishing yourself in the Grant family<b>!</b><b>”</b>
Fred shrugged off the <b>criticism </b>andined, “Why do we have toe eagerly running here <b>just </b>because they are moving in! What’s the <b>use </b>of <b>moving </bpanies!
“The Grant <b>family </b><b>has </b><b>many </b>servants. Matthew and Valerie are staying in the Grant Manor while we stay elsewhere. I’m not their servant!
Lincoln wasbed he could bear this lior to death!
“Can’t you use your brain! Who will expect you to do the work<b>!</b>
Tim telling you to be perfunctory about it. If you perform well and make a good impression, they might hold you in higher regand,” <b>Lincoln </b><b>said</b>.
Fred was furious. It sounded like he had to rely on Matthew for the rest of his life!.
He <b>could </b>not help but retort, “Dad, stop criticizing me. If you had worked hard back then, <b>you’d </b>have been able <b>to </b><b>make </b><b>a </b>name for yourself and secure your position in thepany. Then, I would naturally be alide to inherit your position now. There’s no <b>need </b>to go through so much trouble.”
Previously, Lincoln was in the wrong and was forced to <b>step </b>down from his position. That had always been <b>a </b>source of deep regret for him.
This worthless son still dared to rub salt into his woundst

Lincoln was <b>seething </b>with anger and wanted to punch Fred, but his cousin Holly quickly rushed over to protect Fred.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
That’s enough, Lincoln. Fred’s <b>already </b>an <b>adult</b>. I think he’s fine the way he is now. <b>Don’t </bpare him with others. Some people are just born lucky, so you can’tpare them<b>.</b><b>”</b>
Although Holly was also from the Grant family, she was only a distant rtive. All these years, she had been riding on Lincoln’s coattails and was very close to Lincoln’s family. <b>Naturally</b>, she would side with them and <b>talk </b>badly <b>about </b>Matthew in <b>private</b>
After saying <b>that</b>, she turned around and saw Matthew standing by the window with his hands in his porkers. She was taken aback..
Holly immediately put on a smile. There you are, Matthewf
She greeted
d him naturally. As long as she was thick–skinned enough, she could act as if she was not speaking ill of Matthew earlier.
Matthew swept an indifferent <b>nce </b>over her. He regarded such <b>a </b>rtive as insignificant.
<b>What </b>brings you here? He knew that she must harbor III intentions
His tone was filled with obvious disdain.
