Griffin looked at Ashton warily. “Ashton, be honest with me. Is someone from the Wade family involved in

this

Even though Griffin’s eyesight was failing, his mind and reflexes were still sharp. From Ashton’s behavior alone, he had already suspected that someone from the Wade family might be involved.

Ashton didn’t answer directly. He smiled, shook his head, and said, “Grandpa, you’re at an age where you shouldn’t trouble yourself with these things. Just stay home, rest, and take care of your health.”

Seeing that Griffin was about to press the issue, Ashton changed the subject. “Did you forget that you asked me about the wedding banquet? Briar is right here. You should ask her how she wants to plan it and where she’d like to have it.”

Upon hearing that, Griffin slapped his thigh. That’s right! If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have completely forgotten. Briar, this little rascal secretly tricked you into getting a marriage license behind my back, so I never got the chance to give you the present I’ve prepared.”

With that, Griffin quickly stood up and hurried away. The butler immediately followed with his cane, worried Griffin might stumble and hurt himself.

A moment later, Griffin came back holding two large envelopes. “Come, Briar. I’ve spoiled Ashton rotten. He didn’t even tell me about something as big as getting married. You had no family with you when you registered, and I feel terrible about that. Here, take these.”

As he spoke, Griffin pressed two large envelopes into Briar’s hands. Briar held the two thick envelopes, a little stunned. “Mr. Wade, you’re too kind. These are too valuable…”

Briar could guess that the envelopes contained cash, not checks. ‘How much money would it take to make these two large envelopes bulge like this?”

But before Briar could refuse, Ashton took the envelopes for her. “My grandfather gave them to you, so you should accept them.”

Briar finally smiled and thanked Griffin, “Thank you, Mr. Wade.”
