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 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.
