Chapter 707

Comelia hugged her granny tight, “Granny, remember you once told me that we can’t control what other people say They’ll talk about whatever they want and we just live our life. Why are you suddenly caring about these meaningless rules today?”

Granny Rebecca leaned into Cornelia and whispered, “Nelly, do you really think your granny wants you to play by someone else’s rules? I’m just playing the part. As long as everything looks fine on the surface, nobody can pick a fight with us.

Comelia burst into laughter. “Granny, I know you love me.”

Granny Rebecca replied, “Well, you’re my only granddaughter. If I don’t love you, who would I love?”

Granny Luisa grumbled, “Stop whispering behind my back. I’m getting jealous.”

Granny Rebecca said, “Alright, no more secret chats. Let’s talk about some serious stuff with the kids.”

Comelia asked, “Oh, Granny, you haven’t told me what you bought.”

Granny Rebecca played coy, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Granny Luisa called out again, “Marc, help Granny Rebecca over here. You and Nelly sit opposite us. We have something to discuss.”

Marcus helped Granny Rebecca to her seat and sat opposite the two old ladies with Cornelia.

Meanwhile, Briana was sitting on the side, munching on snacks, and listening attentively…

Then Granny Luisa pulled out a black gold card and handed it to Cornelia. “Nelly, there’s no spending limit on this card. The password is your birthday. Take it and spend however you want.”

Briana’s eyes went wide with surprise, her snack suddenly tasteless. She always asked the old lady for a black gold card, but she never got one. But today, Cornelia did.

It seemed like Cornelia was more important than her. In this family, Briana felt like her status was slipping. She felt pitiful.

Such an extravagant gift, how could Cornelia accept it? “Granny, I don’t need it. I can earn my own money. You should keep this for yourself.”

Granny Luisa replied, “The money you earn is yours. This is my gift to you after your marriage to the Hartley family. It doesn’t conflict with your own earnings. You must accept it.”

“Granny, a gift card would be enough. I can’t take this.” Cornelia was too timid to accept, and she didn’t want to.

But Granny Luisa insisted, “It’s a tradition in the Hartley family. Every girl who marries into the family gets one. Nelly, don’t refuse. Take

it.”

Cornelia had no way to argue with Granny Luisa. She looked helplessly at Marcus, but instead of helping her refuse, he accepted the card for her, “Granny, I’ll accept this on behalf of Nelly.”

Cornelia glared at him, “Marcus!”

Marcus chuckled and handed the card to Cornelia, “Granny’s wealth is probably more than you could imagine. Don’t worry about her running out of money because of this card. Accept this gift. How you use it is up to you.”

Granny Luisa added, “I’m old, but not short of money. I just can’t find the right place to spend it. If you can max this card out, I’d be very pleased.”
