Chapter 36
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about that.” Katie suddenly changed the subject. “Jodie, you and Benjamin are both your grandpa’s grandkids. Since he paid for your education, shouldn’t he help Benjamin out now that he’s getting married?”
Without waiting for Angeline to respond, she continued, “Jodie, can’t you help persuade your grandpa? We’re family, and we really don’t want things to escalate to the point of tarnishing your grandpa’s and your reputation on television.
“Isn’t your grandpa a college professor? If this gets out, it’ll ruin his reputation as an educator.”
Angeline’s face darkened. “What do you want?”
“I heard that colleges provide a house for professors, right? Tell your grandpa to transfer the ownership of the house to Benjamin. If he doesn’t have one, ask him to buy Benjamin a villa in Oceanford. Also, buy a car worth half a million for him.” Katie started making requests.
“It’s not that we want the car, but this is the bride’s family’s request. They also asked for wedding gifts worth 660 thousand dollars. Your mom is your grandpa’s only daughter. Now that your mom is gone, your grandpa only has Benjamin left. So, isn’t his everything meant for Benjamin?
“If your mom knows that he holds onto so much money and doesn’t help Benjamin, even avoiding him, she won’t rest in peace in heaven.”
“You tortured my mom and caused her death! If Mr. Lawson Senior helps you, then she’ll truly not rest in peace. “Angeline spoke calmly.
