See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 269 A Melodramatic Life

Axton was in the restaurant, drinking tea and reading the news, when

the butler walked in. Standing by the door, he whispered, “Mr.

Johnson and his daughter have arrived.”

Axton’s hand paused as he was pouring the tea: “Which daughter?”

“The elder.”

The eldest daughter, that was Arianna.

Back then, he also took a liking to this girl, thinking that her personality was good and she would be suitable to be his granddaughter–in–law.

Thinking of his foolish grandson, he sighed deeply.

This grandson was born to his son and daughter–in–law, and by rights, was the legitimate eldest grandson of the Fleming family. However, not long after his birth, a fall caused him to become mentally impaired. In order to protect the reputation of the Fleming family, he hid this grandson very strictly. Even if outsiders knew about it, they dared not discuss it much. Instead, it was widely spread under the name of Magnus being the illegitimate child of the Fleming family.

At that time, Magnus was only willing to stay with the Lamont family and had no intention of returning. So, he came up with the idea of

finding a wife for this foolish grandson.

The Johnson family was quite satisfied with Arianna, but

unfortunately, Dalton was a stubborn old man who refused to agree no matter what.

Thinking of the recent predicament the Johnson family had fallen into, Axton understood intuitively, “Let them in.”

Dalton walked in with Arianna, whose eyes were red.

Axton waved at Dalton, “Dalton, it’s been a long time.”

After speaking, he glanced at Arianna out of the corner of his eye. She was appropriately dressed, poised, and her appearance was both dignified and friendly.

“Axton,” Dalton sat down, his tone sincere, “There’s something I need your help with…”
