Chapter 263
Annalise refused to accept the ancient jewelry. “Grandpa, I can’t accept such a precious thing.” “Silly child, take it.” Old Mr. Xander took Annalise’s hand and stuffed the box into her hands. Annalise refused to accept the gift. Old Mr. Xander pretended to be angry. “If you don’t take it, it’ll be a pity if it broke.”
“Grandpa, I really can’t accept it.” Annalise could not accept such a valuable thing. It would be fine if she was the Xander family’s bloodline. But, she knew that she was not. How could she accept it? Nancy saw that Samuel kept insisting Annalise take the ancient jewelry even after Annalise refused the gift. Anger filled in Annalise’s heart. Nancy thought, “Well, could it be because she isn’t his biological granddaughter? “Could it be?” They were both Samuel’s biological granddaughters. Samuel would not allow wanted to give it to Annalise.
The more Nancy thought about it, the angrier she became! Lee had been bedridden for 20 years. What contribution did he give to the Xander family? The fruits that the Xander family was enjoying now were the labors of her immediate family. Just as Nancy was about to speak, she heard Lee say, “Anna, please accept it. It’s Old Mr. Xander’s kind intentions. Don’t make an old man anxious. Just take it that you’re temporarily keeping it for Old Mr. Xander.”
Annalise was in a difficult position. Julian also smiled and said, “Yes, please accept it and keep it for Old Mr. Xander.” Annalise could not refuse anymore. She took the box with both hands and said respectfully, “Thank you, Grandpa!” The more Samuel looked at Annalise, the more he liked her. Most importantly, he realized that Annalise not only looked like Lee, but her personality and behavior were similar to Lee’s.
After Annalise accepted the box, Sámuel smiled lovingly. “No need to thank me. Anna, we’ll organize a banquet for you tonight. Let’s catch up as a family. In the future, you spend more time in the house. Julian, please come here often with Anna.” OldMr. “Sure, Old Mr. Xander!” Julian replied with a smile. When Nancy saw this scene, she really could not take it anymore. She felt like her heart, liver, spleen,
and lungs were going to explode with anger. She forced a smile and said, “Grandpa, I’m meeting a few friends over there. I’ll leave first. Let’s have a banquet for Anna tonight” With that, she left immediately.
After finding her mother, Nancy could not hold her resentment any longer. “Mom, am I my father’s biological daughter?” “What? Why would you say such a thing?” Lily Sox, who was the ex-wife of Yechiel Xander and current wife of Jimmy Zeller, looked displeased. Nancy sneered angrily. “Mom, do you know what Grandpa did just now?” Nancy chuckled. “He gave his precious ancient jewelry to Annalise Barton. Annalise rejected it, but he kept forcing her to accept it. She didn’t want it at all, but he insisted that she take it.”
Lily’s eyes flickered, and she said faintly, “Hence, status is very important.” Nancy was even angrier. “What status? It doesn’t mean that her status is comparable to mine. I’m the eldest girl among the Xander family’s younger generation. Not only that, I’m also the daughter of the Zeller family. Who had better status in the entire Jadeborough compared to me?”
Lily tried to educate her daughter. “Nancy, I’ve told you many times that people must learn to control their emotions. Only when you remain calm at all times that you can make accurate judgments and make decisions. that are best for yourself.” Nancy heaved a sigh of relief. “But, Mom, I’m really aggrieved, okay? I even smiled at them under such aggrieved circumstances just now.” “You’ve done well,” Lily said, “but now that anger has taken away your rationality, you’ve lost your judgment she think she is? “Your grandfather likes Lee so much that he gave the ancient jewelry to his Lee’s daughter. “Besides, Annalise is Julian’s wife. Of course, your grandfather took this opportunity to build closer relationships with the Parks family.”
Nancy’s eyes flashed with jealousy. She became even more determined. She wanted to steal Julian and become the wife of the richest family. She said angrily, “Lee was also a good-for-nothing. I hinted that I donated bone marrow for him back then, but he didn’t say anything.” Hearing this, Lily’s face turned cold. “Why did you tell him this? I warned you not to mention what happened back then.” “Mom,
as you can see, Lee’s health has improved. If I don’t hint him, what if he comes to fight for the company with Dad again?
Even though her father was managing the corporation and generated so much profit for the Xander family in a year, her grandfather still valued her second uncle and “If Lee fights for the company, grandpa would fully support him, right?” Nancy said anxiously. “He won’t fight for the company.” Lily was certain. Lee was not an ambitious person. Unless he found his son and wanted to fight for him. His son was probably a skeleton now. How could he find him? Nancy frowned and asked again, “Mom, why did you divorce Dad back then?”
She had asked this question countless times. She did not understand when she was young, but she could see the situation better when she grew up. Jimmy was very cowardly and always listened to Lily. He could not be compared with her biological father at all. Lily’s expression darkened again. “Children shouldn’t interfere in adults’ matters.” Nancy rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Mom, I’m 25 years old this year.”
Lily said in a deep voice, “From now on, don’t mention your bone marrow donation to anyone. Don’t mention my past marriage “But Lee, he…” “No-buts!” Lily’s tone became domineering. “Oh, I understand.” Nancy compromised. She had been living with her mother for more than 20 years and knew her mother’s personality. Ever since she was young, her mother had doted on her very much. Her mother fulfilled almost all her requests. Yet, her mother could be very firm in certain matters.
Once her mother firmly said no, it meant it was a taboo or red zone for her. Seeing that her daughter was obedient, Lily’s expression softened. She said gently, “I’m doing this for your good.” “I know.” Nancy pouted. Lily asked again, “The Xander family will hold a dinner banquet for Annalise, right?” At the mention of this, Nancy chuckled again. “That’s right. She’s so precious. Not only is there a banquet, but she’s also staying at the Xander family for a long term.” “Nancy, you have to be friendly to Annalise.
I don’t care what you’re thinking, but you Look at how behave in the Zeller family. What did I do? I was friendly and polite to everyone in the Zeller family.
“Sometimes, not getting into a fight was the greatest weapon. “Which daughter-in-law of the wealthy families managed obtained company shares? I now own 20% of the Zeller Corporation’s shares. ‘Mom, I understand.” Although Nancy agreed, she cursed in her heart, “Not getting into a fight. Julian has already become someone else’s husband. If i don’t fight, Julian will have a child soon.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
