Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 551

"This young lady is really good-looking. She's simply like a celebrity! No wonder Matthew hid her and didn't let us see her!" said someone.

Valerie felt a bit awkward as she looked at the group of smiling people in front of her. It was the first time she had encountered such a large family. Watching them all gather around her, she felt both amused and exasperated.

Matthew clearly saw her discomfort and blocked them all for her. "It's Vallie's first time coming to the house; you'll scare her like this." He quietly moved the people apart from her.

How could everyone not see it? They could not help but tease Matthew, "Look, his heart is aching. He's afraid that we'll scare his wife."

"I didn't expect Matthew, who usually seems like the King of Hell, would have such a considerate and gentle side toward women. This's really surprising!'"

"Keep your voice down. Matthew is only gentle with his wife. If he hears you calling him the King of Hell, you'll be in trouble..."

Matthew heard them all. It was rare for him to be in a good mood today, so he did not argue with these people. He held Valerie's hand and said, "They're all relatives. Let's get to know each other."

Valerie was a little stunned. Then, she heard him introduce, "This is Aunt, Uncle, this is Third Uncle, Great Aunt..."

Valerie greeted them individually. Each time, the relatives would smile and pat Valerie's hand, then give her a gift. "It's the first time we met; the gift is a must."

"You're pregnant for three months, right? What's the due date?"

"Matthew, you didn't inform us in advance. It's too rushed and we didn't have time to prepare a gift. Hope you don't mind."

The third aunt handed over a gift bag. Valerie opened it and realized that it was actually a check inside. She was shocked for a moment.

However, the person who gave the gift bag cast a resentful glance at Matthew, blaming him for notifying them too late. They really didn't have time to prepare the gift and could only use the most unrefined method.

Valerie was bewildered by them and secretly astonished. 'Matthew has hidden from me that he has invited so many people. Didn't he mention only Sophia would be present? But now there are so many relatives that I can't possibly remember them all!'

"Valerie, come and sit here!"

This was clearly an insult to Fred who had recently been involved in a scandal with Angel. Hearing this, Fred's face darkened, and he was about to reproach Valerie for daring to speak to him this way. However, Mattew glanced at Fred and spoke emotionless, "But there is some truth in what you said. Indeed, a woman's status can rise with her child. And it's not just any rise; it's a significant one. From now on, she will be the young madam of the Grant family and also represent our family. Anyone who mistreats her is effectively slapping my face. As for social status, Valerie is not from a humble background either; she's a rising star and, if she wants, she can certainly make a place for herself in the entertainment industry."

The meaning behind these words was self-explanatory. Fred's face immediately darkened. His scandal with Angel had always been overshadowed by Matthew's imposing presence whenever he clashed with Matthew. Fred felt a surge of anger, especially when thinking about how his woman, though attractive, had always chased after Matthew in the past and was rejected by Matthew. This only fueled his frustration further.

Just as he was about to retort, Lincoln coughed and walked over with a faint smile. "Matthew, don't be angry. It's just that Fred has got into trouble recently, so he's easily irritated. Please forgive him." Then, he looked at Fred. "Apologize to Matthew."

"Dad!" Fred was reluctant. Lincoln frowned. "Apologize!" Seeing that Lincoln had emphasized his tone, Fred could only reluctantly mutter, "Sorry."

Lincoln then smiled at Valerie and said, "Moreover, I think Matthew's point is right. It doesn't matter if the social status doesn't match. What's crucial is that the person has good character. I see Valerie as someone with blessings."

The people beside him quickly chimed in, "That's right. You can tell she's blessed and also understanding and well-behaved."

Sophia nodded repeatedly from the side, feeling very pleased. "Yes, I liked Valerie the moment I saw her. She's smart, understanding, and well-behaved. In a few months, we'll arrange their wedding and let everyone know that the Grant family finally has a capable lady of the house!"
