Chapter 71

Nola shook her head with a smile. “Why can’t | remember what | said yesterday? It was a family dinner between

my father and the Grayson family. How could my father be angry? At that time, it was the elder of the Grayson

family who had talked to him. How could 1, a junior, have a chance to speak?

Nola knew the purpose of why Lella cto her. Nola thought that the phone call from Lelia last night was to

question her. But before Lelia could finish her words, she hung up the phone. Lelia was probably very angry with

her, so she cto see

her in person.

As for how Lelia knew she was there, she thought it was probably Tanya who told her!

“It is such an important thing. How can you tellthat you forgot what you said? You're so ungrateful. After all,

Myles raised you. How can you treat him like this? You don’t even regard him as your father.”

“Then you should ask him if he has fulfilled his duty as a father all these years. Is he qualified to be my father?”

Nola smiled, but her words were extremely cold.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you know what | mean? Well, there’s nobody else here. You don’t have to put on an act for me. You're

pretending to be tired, and I'm tired of watching. Let's get to the point. After that, | have other things to do.”

Nola didn’t want to waste twith this old woman. The longer she looked at Lelia’s face, the more disgust she

felt.

Lelia took a deep breath and said, “In that case, I'll get straight to the point. | chere today for nothing else

but the engagement gifts from the Grayson family. You're a member of the Grant family. Shouldn't you give us an

explanation? We brought you up unitl now, don’t you think we should get a share.”

“Rules are made by people. They didn’t exist before, but they do now. Besides, this is not my idea, but the

Grayson family’s. | don’t have the ability to control the Grayson family.”

“Since the Grayson family gave it to you, you can decide whatever you want. Now it’s up to you. Since you've

had a good life, you have to take care of your family. Even if you're married, you still need to take care of your

parent’s family.”

“Oh? Take care of my parents’ family?” She looked at her face coldly. Nola didn’t know where he got the nerve to

say that in front of her.

“I am not related to you. What right have you to claim that you're from my parents‘ family? Have you forgotten

that it was all your fault that my mother ended up like this? | will never forget what you did!”

“I am here today to talk to you on behalf of your father. After all, he’s your father. You shouldn't get involved in

your parents’ feud. Myles raised you. Now you should be filial to him.”

“My father has nothing to worry about. He has food to eat, clothes to wear, and support from you. What else

does he need?”

“You...” Lelia knew what Nola meant, but she pretended not to.

Lelia could only say, “You should give the engagement gifts to your father, you know? If one day you are driven

out by the Grayson family, these things will belong to the Grayson family again, and you will have nothing. Your

father and | are doing this for your own good.”

Nola laughed, shook her head, and said, “That's the funniest joke I've ever heard. Lelia, how c| never found

out you were such a funny guy?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m talking serious business with you. Is that how

you

talk to your

elders?”

“Don’t put on airs in front of me. You don’t deserve it!” Nola took a sip of coffee. She found it funny that Lelia *

asked her for the engagement gifts and said it was for her own good,

Chapter 71

“I wasn’t born yesterday? Do you think Til believe you just because of your coaxing words? Will | take out all my

things and leave them for you and your daughter to wander?”

Lelia was speechless

*Or you've been planning it for a long time. Take the engagement gifts the Grayson family gaveand give it to

Tanya. huh?” Nola said, nodding seriously. | am worried whether the Lee family will accept her in the end. That

would be a great

shame”

You are bullshit. Tanya's relationship with Javion is very stable. | know you have always been jealous of Tanya

because she took Javion away from you. He should be yours, but there is no other way. Love can’t be forced

Sola waved her hand and said. “You and your daughter are both so forgetful. At that time, it was | who broke off

the engagement. Tanya seized the opportunity and hooked up with Javion. But it’s thanks to you and your

daughter that | was able to marry EIf Speaking of which, you two really are my great benefactors. Fate is so

wonderful. It’s probably meant forto marry EIf, right?”

“Nola, don’t forget that Elvis Grayson will bring bad luck to his wife. I'm afraid you'll die before you get to enjoy

your life.”

“Is that so”

Nola put down the coffee, and her eyes went cold. “I think I will let you and your daughter down. | am hard to

die. How else could | have survived all these years in the Grant family? | won't forget what you did to me,”

The smile on Nola’s face was extremely cold. Somehow, Lelia suddenly felt a shiver down her spine. Her whole

body trembled, and a layer of fear rose in her heart.

“There is still a long way to go. You must live well. Otherwise, you cannot suffer enough in my revenge for my

mother. Lelia. what happened to my mother is not over yet! How did she fall from the building? | will find out for

sure. You'd better pray that what happened back then has nothing to do with you. Otherwise...”

Nola’s smile grew colder. Lelia swallowed and said, “Those are two different things. I'm here today to talk about

the engagement gifts. You should be filial to your father.”

“It is my business how | take care of my father. What right have you to interfere? If this is my father’s order, go

back and tell him not to worry. | won't let him starve.”

As Nola spoke, she stood up.

Lelia was very timid. Nola knew that Lelia chere today, probably with Myles’ permission. Myles was too

embarrassed to meet her, so he asked Lelia to come.

Nola thought, “Did Lelia think this would work? When they saw money, they all lost their most basic intelligence,

which was laughable.*

Seeing that she was about to get up, Lelia grabbed Nola’s arm and said, “How can you do this? He is your father.

He raised you, but you don’t care about his kindness. You are too ungrateful. Today you must agree to this

matter, or | will let everyone judge whether you are right or wrong as a daughter.”

Nola frowned. When she saw that the people around her were all looking at her, she knew that Lelia had done it

on purpose.

Lelia had underestimated her, believing that if she said those misleading words, it would make Nola compromise.

Who didn’t know how to act?
