Chapter 91

Wesley had been teaching for ages, and his students were scattered all over the globe. Deep down, he had a strong sense of what it meant to be a good person. He hardly ever got mad, but when he did, just one look from him could make people shake in their boots.

With a serious face, Wesley said, "Look, I'm just a regular guy. I don't like to make big speeches or pretend that money doesn't matter. But Katniss is like a daughter to us. Daphne and I love her dearly. We just want her to be safe and happy." "You've given so many gifts, which might not mean much to you, but I just want Katniss to be happy. We don't care about these things. All these gifts, properties, and funds, along with what we've given Katniss, will all go to her. Not a single penny will be left behind!" he added, "As long as you treat Katniss well, that's all that matters to us."

Anna's eyes went wide with shock, and she was about to blow up. That was a ton of money, not to mention the houses.

Just giving one of the houses to her son would set him up for life.

Was Wesley nuts, not wanting anything?

Micah's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Anna's arm and said in a low voice, "Grandma, if you keep talking, they'll think we're greedy, and they might not want Katniss anymore and look for another girl to marry. Then we won't get a single penny." Anna was greedy. Taking money from her was like pulling teeth. If she threw a fit, it would be embarrassing for both families.

It would also make Katniss look bad and be judged by the Hamiltons.

He tried to get Anna to weigh the consequences of losing this money completely against the potential gains if she cooperated. A rational assessment of the pros and cons would make her settle down. Hearing Micah's words, Anna quickly did the math in her head.

In just a few seconds, she shut her mouth and sat back down quietly.

Wesley was Katniss's uncle, and they had a good relationship. Even the engagement was arranged by Wesley, not Katniss's biological father, which showed that Wesley was more important to Katniss than her own dad. Although the money was in Katniss's hands, if Wesley ever needed help, Katniss would definitely help him out.
