Chapter 91
All That Glitters Is Not Gold When Grace dropped Ava off, she also brought a heap of groceries.
There was wine, fresh seafood, and many other things.
She had put a lot of thought into the gesture, but I thought little it.
After all, it was my money being spent, so I was not feeling particularly grateful.a Even now, eighty percent of Tanum Corporation’s customers were the ones I had pulled in the early days.
It wasn’t an exaggeration.
I suspected that there was going to be a celebration here tonight.
daway Sho As soon as Ava returned, she rushed into the room and told me how much she missed her grandma.
I knew she was trying to cheer me up. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
My mother–in–law was busy outside, and Henry had been here since the afternoon.
I haven’t had a good impression of my father–in–law since that day.
Today, Matthew got off work early, but Melanie was nowhere to be seen.
At the dinner table, Matthew smiled and said our anniversary banquet would be on Friday at the Feusaka Hotel.
However, I kept silent and allowed them to chatter away.
“Honey, I’ve done what you asked and transferred everything that’s rightfully yours.
I was foolish before, but I’ve reflected a lot these past few days.
“I still love you and our family.
You were right.
We need to secure a good future for Ava.
From now on, we’ll work together to make Tanum Corporation bigger and stronger!” I sighed as I looked at him.
Just this morning, he was planning how to deal with me, but now he wanted to work with me.
This transformation was quite remarkable.
On Thursday, he showed me all the assets in their new names – houses, cars, and a significant amount of money in bank accounts.
He had them notarized for my ease of mind, but I soon realized it was more for his own reassurance than mine.
Sentimentality had no place in the situation.
Matthew suggested inviting my parents to the banquet, but I declined.
My father’s fragile health couldn’t handle any additional stress.
I simply didn’t want to risk endangering his life.
Melanie was as unpredictable as ever.
She was surprisingly cooperative and changed her usual demeanor.
She was also dressed elegantly and gracefully mingled with the guests.
Mathew ordered an expensive wedding dress to match the theme and fulfill my wishes.
Its design would look ethereal and stunning.
The hairstylist also took care of my hair, covering the scar +15 BONUS Meanwhile, Matthew looked handsome in a black suit, white shirt, and rose–red tie.
He beamed with happiness.
Ava wore a cute puffy dress that made her look so beautiful that she squealed with delight.
Rich and powerful people came to the party.
This was what made Matthew most happy.
He played his part perfectly, coming across as dignified and friendly.
He was the perfect husband–a rare find.
I thought it was funny.
This celebration felt more like a circus.
Still, I went along with it.
I even talked about how we had been through storms together since Tanum Corporation began.
I revealed the history Matthew dreaded, but today it touched the hearts of everyone and brought tears to their eyes.
Last, Matthew thanked me for everything I’ve done over the years and said I was his source of joy.
He got down on one knee and placed a diamond ring on my finger.
He also presented the opulent house and car he had gifted me for this occasion.
The entire sequence of events made the women in the audience envious.
I saw Melanie glaring daggers at me.
Onstage, with Matthew holding me and cradling Ava, it felt like a scene from a fairy tale.
However, few were aware of the terrible problems that existed in secret.
Matthew’s performance had reached its climax, but the guests were about to see a shocking turn of events.
