Chapter 20

In Grace’s imagination, powerful families were full of conflicts and dirty tricks, just as in TV series.

To her surprise, everyone in the Morton family was amiable.

Grace was the first girl Lewis had brought home. It went without saying how welcome she was.

Everyone had prepared a gift for her. Lewis’s mom, Tessa Waller, even gave her dowry, a valuable emerald gemstone, to Grace.

“Mrs. Morton, this is too much. It’s too expensive. I can’t take it.” Grace hurried to refuse.

“Why not? You deserve it.” With that, she put it around Grace’s neck.

Grace wore a blackish–green overcoat. Beneath it was a black woolen turtle–neck shirt. The emerald gemstone added a

noble and demure air to her elegance.

Tessa liked Grace. That evening, she called Grace’s family. The two families would meet to set a date for their wedding.

To display the Morton family’s sincerity, Tessa had someone draft the invitations immediately after the phone call. She also transferred 10 million dollars to Grace as a betrothal gift.

“It’s just a gift. Don’t be a stranger,” Tessa smiled and turned around to prepare the wedding.
