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 planning. What exactly was this guy up to?

11 was the weekend three days later. Valerie did not need to work as the production crew had one day off. Hence, on this day, Matthew brought Valerie back 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 already completed all the preparations before Matthew and Valerie’s arrival.

Valerie had officially moved into the Grant Manor. Sophia and Nolan thoughtfully sent many items and gifts from various other families.

When Valerie went over, she was a little surprised. When she saw the house filled with large and small packages, she was stunned and said, “Isn’t this

a bit excessive!!

Matthew laughed. “They know that you’re moving in, so treat all these as housewarming gifts.”

“How can I accept

ept all these?” Valerie asked.

asy about accepting their gifts once again.

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.

Valerie thought about it and realized that would be the best approach.

Since most of the relatives were here, naturally Fred and his family were here too, trying to curry favor with Sophia.

Fred was not willing to come. It was finally the weekend, and he would have preferred to go out and hang out with some girls. However, Carrie insisted that he come and make a good impression because he had upser Matthew and Sophia last time. She insisted that he come and make a good Impression on Sophia. At the very least, showing up was akin to showing respect to Sophia.

Carrie wanted to come too, but she caught a cold.

Valerie remembered that Carrie’s brooch was with her. She originally planned to return the brooch to Carrie when she saw Carrie today. However, Carrie was absent from this gathering Valerie did not know when would be the next time she saw Carric,

Hence, Valerie found Lincoln and handed the brooch to him.

“Oh, I recognize this brooch. Rest assured, 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 Carrie cherished this When she saw Lincoln casually placing the brooch inta his pocket, Valerie was at a loss for words. She felt that there was something strange about Tum, but she could not pinpoint what it was.

After she left, Lincoln saw Fred walking over with his head lowered. He was so angry that he smacked Fred. “You fool, look at what Matthew is like now and then look at yourself. Do you think you have a respected standing in this family? if you don’t shape up, don’t ever think of establishing yourself in the Grant family!”

Fred shrugged off the criticism and complained, “Why do we have to come eagerly running here just because they are moving in! What’s the use of moving companies!

“The Grant family has many 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!

Tim telling you to be perfunctory about it. If you perform well and make a good impression, they might hold you in higher regand,” Lincoln said.

Fred was furious. It sounded like he had to rely on Matthew for the rest of his life!.

He could not help but retort, “Dad, stop criticizing me. If you had worked hard back then, you’d have been able to make a name for yourself and secure your position in the company. Then, I would naturally be alide to inherit your position now. There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”

Previously, Lincoln was in the wrong and was forced to step down from his position. That had always been a source of deep regret for him.

This worthless son still dared to rub salt into his woundst

Chapter 556

Lincoln was seething with anger and wanted to punch Fred, but his cousin Holly quickly rushed over to protect Fred.

That’s enough, Lincoln. Fred’s already an adult. I think he’s fine the way he is now. Don’t compare him with others. Some people are just born lucky, so you can’t compare them.”

Although Holly was also from the Grant family, she was only a distant relative. All these years, she had been riding on Lincoln’s coattails and was very close to Lincoln’s family. Naturally, she would side with them and talk badly about Matthew in private

After saying that, 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 glance over her. He regarded such a relative as insignificant.

What brings you here? He knew that she must harbor III intentions

His tone was filled with obvious disdain.
