Chapter 226 The Old Lady Asks for Help 

Walter hummed in agreement, his voice calm as he said, “No matter, we simply won’t associate in the future.” 

He spoke in such a way that truly left the old lady somewhat helpless. She sighed slightly, waved her hand at Walter and said, “Alright, I won’t interfere with you young people’s affairs. You go ahead with your business.” 

After speaking, she looked at me and said, “Tabatha, stay and chat with grandma for a while.” 

Seeing this, Walter had no choice but to get up and leave. 

Watching Walter leave, I turned to the old lady and began to speak, “Grandma, I…” 

She didn’t give me a chance to speak, instead she reached out to me and said, “Child, come help me.” 

I stood up, helped her to her feet, not knowing where she planned to 

I saw her get up and point towards the direction of the inner courtyard. Seeing this, I helped her continue to walk inside. 

The old lady’s courtyard was very large. Usually, when we came over, we would only talk and chat with her in the outer rooms, rarely venturing into the inner courtyard. 

After she pushed the door open and entered, she saw a Buddhist hall of over a hundred square meters in the inner courtyard. I was slightly taken aback, but not too surprised. After all, the old lady was of 

advanced age, and setting up a Buddhist hall in her own room was something many elderly people often did. 

Upon entering the Buddhist hall, the old lady had me assist her to the altar. After lighting the incense and candles, she handed them to me and said, “You offer the incense.” 

Upon seeing this, I took the incense, bowed, and then inserted it into the incense burner. 

The old lady walked to the cushion, knelt down with both legs, patted the cushion beside her, and looked at me, saying, “Tabatha, come here.” 

Dozens of Buddha statues of various sizes were arranged in this house. I walked over and knelt down on the cushion next to her, calmly bowing three times to the Sakyamuni Buddha in the main position, with sincerity in my heart. 

The old lady’s posture was exceptionally respectful, even to the point of devotion. Watching her bow to all the gods and Buddhas one by one, I remained silent, only looking at her with some confusion after she finished her bows. 

Praying to Buddha wasn’t strange, what was strange was, how did she suddenly call me to her small Buddha hall? 

After she had recited a few Buddhist scriptures that I couldn’t understand, she looked at me and said, “Tabatha, do you know why I brought you here?” 

I pursed my lips, shaking my head truthfully. 

She held a Buddhist rosary in her hand, not directly explaining why, but instead began, “Walter’s grandfather and I started our family with a little bit of hard-earned money. Over the years, the Hinton Group has developed very well, and it is considered top-notch both abroad and
