Nash looked up and saw a woman standing beside Herman. She was tall, and her face was caked with
heavy makeup.
Although she was an exquisite beauty, she fell slightly short compared to Hera’s natural beauty even
though she currently had zero makeup on.
She must be Helena Lewis, the Lewises’ eldest young lady.
Hera quickly stepped forward and greeted, “Grandpa…”
Meanwhile, her eldest uncle standing behind was instantly astonished upon seeing her.
However, it was only for a moment before his expression returned to normal.
Even so, Hera still noticed it.
Seeing his granddaughter, Herman nodded with a smile. “Hera, why did you just arrive?”
Hera was about to come up with an excuse, but Helena said contemptuously, “Grandpa informed
everyone about this last night, yet you still arrived late. It seems you didn’t take Grandpa’s words to
heart at all!”
Hera hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not it. We almost got into a car accident on our way back, but
luckily, he helped us out.”
As she spoke, she looked at Nash.
Helena sneered. “Isn’t your excuse a little too lame? Are you sure you weren’t just hanging out with this
wild man and forgot about the time?”
“Please be merciful with your words, Helena. This person has no relationship with me, and he’s
actually…”
“If he has nothing to do with you, then why don’t you kick him out? Today’s private banquet is for the
Lewis family members. Why is an outsider present?” Helena interrupted Hera, then glanced at Nash,
feeling even more disdainful when she saw his shabby appearance.
Herman followed her gaze and was suddenly taken aback.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough this person was dressed plainly, his physique was robust and full of vitality, with prominent
temples and a strong aura. He must be a master.
Herman asked calmly, “What’s your name, young man?”
Nash stepped forward, bowed deeply, and politely said, “I’m Nash Calcraft of Tili Mountain, a disciple of
Master Johnathan Calcraft. I came down the mountain this time to fulfill a marital alliance with the
Lewises on the orders of my master. My master instructed me to regard you as my teacher and father!”
After speaking, he took out the pendant left by his master and handed it over.
“Oh my, oh my. I knew there was something about your vigorous appearance. So you’re the beloved
disciple of Master Calcraft!”
Herman was extremely excited. He leaned on his cane and staggered over to Nash, tremblingly holding
his hand. “I received a letter from your master yesterday, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting your arrival.
This place will be your home from now on. Don’t be too polite with me. If you want anything, just let me
know…”
Herman was talking continuously, and his aged face was full of smiles. His previous imposing
demeanor could no longer be seen.
Hera’s eyes flickered, and she was filled with astonishment.
Grandfather actually valued Nash this much?
Could it be that he was today’s esteemed guest?
“Alright then. I won’t be polite with you, Mr. Lewis!”
Nash scratched his head with a smile, surprised by Herman’s high regard for him.
“Grandpa, didn’t you say you’d distribute the family assets today?”
Helena, who was impatiently waiting on the side, held her grandfather’s arm and said, “Hurry up and
distribute them. I have things to do later. Make sure you give me Lewis Corporation!”
Herman did not get angry at her audacious words. Instead, he laughed heartily. “It’s all for you. And
today, I’ll also settle one of your life’s major events.”
“Huh?” Helena was taken aback. Could it be that Grandpa knew about her relationship with Kai
Watson?
Herman held Nash’s hand and said, “Helena dear, this is your fiance, Nash. You two should go ahead
and get married today!”
“What?!” Helena yelled.
The Lewis family members were also puzzled.
Herman usually doted on Helena the most, and everyone thought he would choose a wealthy and
prominent young man for her, not someone who could not even afford a suit!
“I don’t agree!” Helena stomped her foot and scoffed angrily.
Herman frowned slightly. “Helena, don’t fool around. Nashy here is a rare talent among men. You’re
lucky to be able to marry him.”
Helena forcefully pulled away from her grandfather’s arm and said angrily, “Rare talent among men?!
Look at his shabby appearance; he’s obviously a peasant. I refuse to marry this country bumpkin!”
When Nash heard himself being belittled, the smile on his face gradually faded. “Since Ms. Lewis is
unwilling, then let’s forget about it! However, we Calcrafts are self-sufficient on the mountain. I’m not as
miserable as Ms. Lewis presumes!”
He indeed did not have much money now, and the money he earned from overseas missions was all
donated to build schools in nearby impoverished mountain areas.
Nonetheless, he possessed great skills, and if he truly wanted to make money, it would not be difficult.
“What? Are you saying that you’re not interested either now?” Helena disdainfully rolled her eyes and
revealed a diamond ring the size of a pigeon’s egg on her finger. “See this? It’s an engagement ring Kai
Watson gave me. It’s worth 700 grand. You can’t afford it even if you farm your whole life, am I right?”
“Engagement?” Herman’s brows furrowed.
Helena did not hold back and bluntly said, “Grandpa, I’ve already accepted Kai’s proposal. The
Watsons are the top aristocratic family in Jonford. Once I become Mrs. Watson, I’ll surely support the
Lewises. Then, the Lewises can also become a prestigious family!”
Upon hearing these words, Herman became so angry that he nearly had a heart attack. Pointing at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHelena, he angrily scoffed. “You foolish girl… Return that to the Watsons!”
Herman’s eldest son, Hubert Lewis, stepped forward to persuade him, “Dad, Kai has already given his
betrothal gifts, totaling nearly 300 million plus 1.5 billion dollars in investment. In what aspect is this boy
better than him? Why insist on this marriage contract?”
Herman raised his hand and slapped Hubert across the face. “Utterly foolish! How could that useless
person from the Watson family compare to Nash?”
Hubert covered his cheek, infuriated, but there was nothing he could do.
Helena felt that her grandfather was simply unreasonable and coldly said, “In any case, I will never
marry that useless person. I’ll marry whoever I want!”
Herman trembled with anger, and his chest surged with fury.
Seeing this, Harrison quickly approached and supported Herman to calm him down.
Hera had mixed feelings in her heart.
It was the first time she had seen her grandfather being so angered by Helena.
Throughout her life, no matter how much trouble Helena caused, Grandpa never once punished her.
He was reluctant to scold or hit her.
If she wanted the stars in the sky, Grandpa would pluck the moon for her if he could.
Why was Grandpa so insistent on Helena’s marriage today?
If Grandpa truly favored Helena, should he not have gone along with her wishes?
Why then?
Soon, Hera suddenly lifted her head, her gaze tightly fixed on Nash.
Grandpa could agree to anything Helena wanted, except for this matter.
That was because Grandpa did not favor Helena but instead the title of Nash’s fiance.
Hera clenched her fists, and a bold idea emerged in her heart.
She was willing to take a gamble. She would bet on her remaining life and everything she had.
“Since Helena is unwilling to marry Nash… I’ll marry him!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the disputes came to an abrupt halt, and everyone from the
Lewis family turned their gaze to her.
