Chapter 88 The Engagement With Jonathan


    “Oh, this…” Upon noticing Fanny looked at another gift box, Zacharias hesitated before answering her.


    He nced at the others and said, “In theory, today is also Ang’s birthday, so I think we should give


    her a gift as well.”


    Fanny and Ang were born on the same day, which led to the mix–up.


    Although their birthdays coincided, Zacharias recalled that Ang was hardly ever celebrated in the


    family. Sometimes, she didn’t even receive verbal blessings.


    With this in mind, Zacharias felt something amiss in his heart, so he casually prepared an extra gift.


    Moreover, he always felt uneasy about having Ang be Fanny’s bridesmaid.


    After all, Ang was their sister, too.


    Upon hearing that the gift was for Ang, Samuel’s expression instantly turned cold.


    He walked over quickly, snatched the gift box from the table, and opened it. Then, he coldly said, “Look


    at her recent attitude toward us, rebellious to no end, sometimes talking nonsense! How can she, who


    is so immature, wear the same ne as Fanny?”


    “Zacharias, you’re showing favoritism.” Samuel looked at him with a puzzled expression, not


    understanding why Zacharias suddenly prepared a gift for Ang. “Today is Fanny’s birthday, the most


    important day of the year. Yet, you’re only thinking about Ang.”


    Zacharias didn’t argue back, but his brows furrowed. Today is the most important day of the year. Isn’t it


    an important day for Ang as well?


    Upon seeing the two of them arguing, Fanny looked worried and said, “Zacharias, Samuel. can you


    please not be angry? I’m actually very happy to be able to wear the same ne as Ang, and it’s


    a gift from Zacharias… Ang doesn’t have any bad intentions. She might have encountered


    something recently that makes it difficult for her to control her emotions. and unintentionally upset our


    parents.”


    Fanny pursed her lips, as if she had thought of something. Her eyes slightly reddened, giving her an


    innocent and kind appearance. “Although Ang has always been reluctant to get close to me, I


    believe that she considers us as a family in her heart.”


    With these few words, everyone suddenly became even more annoyed with Ang.


    Samuel gently touched Fanny’s head with a pained expression. “Fanny, when will you


    1/4


    toughen up and stop defending Ang? We all see how immature she is. She’s even moving her


    household registration, so it doesn’t matter what she does.”


    Fanny bit her lip. “But…”


    “There’s nothing to argue about. You’re not allowed to speak up for her anymore.” Samuel cut her off,


    feeling even more dissatisfied with Ang.


    The difference between people is truly significant. Fanny’s words are always pleasant to hear, while


    Ang never fails to infuriate me!


    In the midst of their conversation, George urged from downstairs, “It’s almost time. Are you all ready?”


    They responded and gradually made their way downstairs.


    Samuel looked at Fanny with some concern and tried to cheer her up. “Alright, stop thinking about her


    all the time. Today is your birthday, let’s celebrate together. James made the effort to book a private


    room at the Laurel Hotel. Just tell us what you want to eat.”


    Upon hearing this, Fanny smiled and yfully said, “Samuel, you all are so good to me.”


    “You are my sister. Of course, I’ll be good to you.” Samuel smiled and pinched her nose.


    The family happily drove to the Laurel Hotel.


    At the Laurel Hotel.


    When Donald and the family arrived at the hotel entrance and caught a glimpse of the grand scene


    from outside the gate, they couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.


    They would never dare to spend money on such a luxurious ce in their daily lives. Even if they were


    to simply have a meal, their monthly living expenses would probably be


    gone.


    Emilia observed the interior decoration with great interest and sighed. “They must be incredibly


    wealthy. With the amount of money they spend on just two dishes here, we could buy several bags of


    groceries at the market!”


    Her voice was a bit loud, so Hecate grabbed her, and she reluctantly stopped talking.


    “Please follow me. Mr. Lawson is in the private room upstairs.” Simon, who was waiting at the entrance,


    recognized them and gave a slight bow before leading the way.

    Once inside the hotel, the interior decoration and scenery were even more impressive. The atmosphere


    was serene and luxurious without being gaudy.


    Not to mention the various ornaments, they were all expensive..


    Upon taking advantage of no one noticing, Emilia surreptitiously reached out and tried to put a crystal


    ashtray into her pocket.


    There are plenty of ashtrays around here, so it doesn’t matter if I take this one!


    “Mom, what are you doing?” Hecate noticed her stuffing something into her pocket. She frowned and


    spoke to Emilia in a low voice with a hint of reproach.


    Although their family was not wealthy, they shouldn’t have engaged in such thieving behavior.


    Emilia was stopped and reluctantly put the ashtray back in its ce. “Why are you so nervous? I was


    just curious and wanted to take a look.”


    I just want to take it to sell and improve our family’s lives.


    Hecate had aplicated look in her eyes but didn’t say anything. Deep down, she had mixed


    feelings.


    During the day, Ang suddenly called Hecate and said she was getting married. The former invited


    Hecate and the family toe and discuss the marriage proposal with Jonathan’s family. Hecate was


    shocked and thought Ang was joking.


    But soon after, someone knocked on the door. Several well–dressed men said they were sent by


    Jonathan to pick them up.


    There were several expensive cars downstairs, clearly indicating wealth.


    The groom’s family appeared quite affluent, and they couldn’t afford to have Ang embarrassed!


    On the way upstairs, although Emilia didn’t engage in any more shady activities, her mouth was not


    idle.


    Upon thinking about Ang getting engaged to such a wealthy family, she felt a bit bitter in. her heart.


    “I don’t know what Ang has to offer. She actually found someone rich and influential. In my opinion,


    the groom is either disabled or much older. After all, Ang is a rejected woman…”


    Upon seeing that Emilia wanted to continue speaking, Quincy interrupted coldly, “Grandma!


    3/4


    Wait until we meet them before saying anything.”


    If the situation unfolded as Emilia suggested, he would be the first to oppose Ang marrying someone


    like that.


    Emilia pursed her lips and thought about Ang’s previous engagement with Christopher, specting.


    She felt that Ang didn’t seem like a reliable person. Maybe she has already done everything she


    needs to do with Christopher. A girl who isn’t morally upright wouldn’t be able to find a good family. The


    groom might really be an older man in his fifties or sixties, marrying Ang as his mistress. Just like


    the girl downstairs in our neighborhood, being someone’s mistress.


    Meanwhile, inside the private room.


    Ang sat upright, obediently sitting next to Jonathan, enduring the intense scrutiny of the two elderly


    people.


    “Are you hungry, Ang? I’ll have some desserts brought in first for you.” Bruce smiled warmly, very


    satisfied with this obedient and lovely girl in front of him.

    When Jonathan said he wanted to marry Ang, Bruce was so happy that he hardly slept.


    Ang was pervous and quickly waved her hand at the words. “It’s okay, Grandpa, I’m not very hungry


    right now.”


    Kevin caressed the jade ring on his thumb. He looked at Ang for a while and then sighed before


    speaking, “Originally, you were engaged to Jon. After some twists and turns, you ended up marrying


    Jon. This is a dreame true for your grandpa.”
