Chapter 522 Willing to Spare No Expense for My Wife
As Jason listened to the other party’s barrage of reprimands, he rubbed his temples and found it
somewhat amusing. “No… but why are you in such a hurry about this?”
The old man said, “What hurry? Don’t you understand the rules of propriety? Isn’t Aletta worth the most
grandiose treatment from you?”
“Naturally, she is,” Jason responded firmly.
“Then why are you wasting time talking?” the old man’s tone carried clear disdain.
After some consideration, Jason replied, “It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s not convenient for Aletta at
the moment. She’s still recovering and it will take some time before we can go through all of this.”
The old man wasn’t buying it. “Having a meal with both families won’t tire her out. Once she’s feeling
better, we should be well-prepared for the engagement ceremony!”
Upon hearing this, Jason thought the argument made sense.
So he made arrangements, “We’ll be going abroad in a few days, so let’s do it tomorrow… We’ll
present the betrothal gifts first, and then prepare for the engagement ceremony when Aletta is well
enough.”
Hearing his methodical words, the old man finally seemed satisfied. “I think that will work! I’ll go inform
them, and then we can have a meal together with both families!”
Before Jason could react, the old man couldn’t wait and hung up the phone.
Who knows, one might think it’s him getting married!
Because of Old Mr. Hill’s involvement in this matter, Jason finished work early today.
In the evening, he went to the old mansion ahead of time.
When he arrived, he saw the spacious hall filled with various expensive betrothal gifts.
From antique vases and calligraphy to jade and gemstones, as well as top-grade bird’s nest, ginseng,
and medicinal herbs, all sorts of rare treasures…
Jason could tell that many of them were treasures that the old man had collected over the years.
He raised an eyebrow, nced at Old Mr. Hill who was still directing the servants to move things out,
and said, “Quite extravagant, old man. Are you willing to spend so much?”
Old Mr. Hill had noticed Jason when he entered the room, but he didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
Now, upon hearing his words, he reluctantly responded, “What’s there to be unwilling about? I’m willing
to spare no expense for Aletta!”
His tone was filled with deep affection for Aletta, his granddaughter-inw.
Jason didn’t feel the need topete with him over being the actual grandson. After all, his
grandfather was right, this was for his wife, so he was willing to spare no expense!
As they were talking, Jay and Jenny also arrived.
Jay had his usual calm expression, while Jenny seemed unwilling, her expression showing her
reluctance.
She seemed to have been forced toe!
Jason frowned but ignored her.
Jay didn’t pay attention to her either and, engrossed in discussing gift arrangements with Old Mr. Hill,
he said, “Are these enough? If not, I have many collectibles that I can have brought over as well.”
When Jay mentioned it, he remembered something. “Aletta is studying medicine, and I have top-quality
snow lotus and Lingzhi mushrooms in my collection. She’ll definitely like them!”
Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Hill didn’t hesitate, “Sure, sure. Find a time to bring them over. Our girl will
surely love them.”
The father and son were deep in discussion,pletely ignoring Jason on the side.
Jason felt somewhat helpless and couldn’t help but speak up, “Who’s actually getting engaged here? It
seems like the two of you are more enthusiastic about this than I am. You’ve taken care of everything,
so what am I supposed to do?”
Hearing his son’s words, Jay chuckled, “Your grandfather and I are just concerned because we finally
managed to coax back a daughter-inw for you. As elders, how can we not worry?”
Old Mr. Hill directly expressed his disdain, “We give what we can give as representatives of the Hills.
It’s the gesture from us to our girl. Don’t you also prepare something on your own?”
Jenny, witnessing the three generations enthusiastically discussing, was filled with anger!
These three people, they act as if she doesn’t exist, and yet they’re discussing getting married so
enthusiastically!
As the thought of Aletta crossed Jenny’s mind, her expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
Old Mr. Hill noticed and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, “Why the long face? Who
are you trying to impress with that gloomy expression?”
Recalling Jenny’s past foolish actions, the old man began to scold her.
“If you don’t want to be involved in Jason and Aletta’s marriage, I won’t force you. But Jenny, let me
warn you, Jason and Aletta havee a long way, and if you dare to ruin it, you’ll have to deal with
me!”
Jenny was already feeling unhappy, and upon hearing Old Mr. Hill’s words, her expression worsened.
She confidently expressed her discontent, saying, “After all, I am thedy of the Hills. Yet, everyone is
so lively about this matter, without even asking for my opinion!”
Old Mr. Hill sneered, “You? What opinion do you have? Is your opinion important? Besides causing
trouble, what else can you do?”
Jenny was aware that her past actions had caused displeasure among the others, but she didn’t think
she had done anything wrong.
Feeling even more indignant after being spoken to this way by Old Mr. Hill, she protested with a hint of
grievance, “I’m also considering Jason’s happiness!”
Old Mr. Hill’s voice grew stern as he retorted, “The best consideration you can give him is to not
interfere!”
He looked at Jenny, not concealing his dissatisfaction with her, and warned her once again, “I’ll say it
again, either be a good wealthy wife and live a good life with Jay, or get out of the Hills!”
His words echoed loudly in the ears of everyone present.
Including the servants of the old mansion!
Jenny felt stifled inside and found it hard to bear.
Old Mr. Hill wasn’t done yet.
He coldly stated, “Aletta’s entrance into this family is for the sake of living a good life with Jason. You,
as the mother-in-w, better not show her any displeasure! You know what you’ve done to her in the
past, and don’t expect Aletta to treat you respectfully. She is herself, and you are yourself, got it?”
Jenny’s face was full of frustration, and she couldn’t help but look at her husband and son.
But both father and son were equally indifferent, and no one came to her aid…
In the end, she could only grit her teeth and say, “I understand!”
Seeing that his mother had settled down, Jason couldn’t be bothered to say anything.
Afterward, together with Old Mr. Hill, they checked a few things and confirmed sending them to the
Rogers Family.
Once the matters here were arranged, Jason and Eaton returned to the Hill Vi’s collection room.
They selected several items for Eaton to take to the old mansion to be sent togetherter.
After dealing with the engagement matters, Jason nced through some documents. Just as he
finished his work, Aletta called.
“What are you up to? Haven’t finished yet?” Aletta asked. She had stayed at the research institute after
her examination by Walt during the day, and she wasn’t particrly busy, just looking at research data
to pass the time.
Speaking gently, Jason replied, “I’m done. I’lle to pick you up for dinnerter!”
Upon hearing that he wasing, Aletta responded, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at the research institute!”
Hanging up the phone, Jason set off.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
The weather outside was gloomy, and when he arrived, there was a light rain falling from the sky.
Aletta opened an umbre and got into the car, her hands feeling icy cold.
“So cold!” Aletta shivered, putting the umbre away, and without hesitation, she slipped her hands into
Jason’s embrace, saying, “Warm!”
