“Is this your boyfriend, Reine? Your taste in men must be degrading if you’re settling for someone so old- fashioned,” the young man mocked as he sized up Alex. 

Reine shot the young man an angry look but did not reply to him. 

Seeing her indifference, the young woman standing beside the young man started to ridicule Reine too. “Well, the Morton family is going bankrupt soon. In a few days, our princess here is going to go from riches to rags. Of course, she’s going to settle for the closest bumpkin she can find.” 

At that, the young man laughed and took the young woman’s hand and they strolled towards the park together. 

“What was all that about the Morton family going bankrupt?” Alex asked. His previous impression of his grandfather’s business was that it was still successful. 

Reine hesitated before saying, “Granny told us that eight years ago, the Morrisons started to target our family to crush our business. Things haven’t been going well for us since then, but we still managed to scrape by.

After getting in Reine’s car, Alex requested her to bring him to the mall to purchase some gifts before returning to the Morton family home. 

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the Morton family home. 

The Mortons‘ villa was an old building that reflected the bleak state of the Morton family’s finances. They did not have the money to move into a bigger villa. 

“Grandpa, Grandma, look at who I have brought home today!” Reine was unable to contain her excitement that she rushed to the backyard as soon as she got out of the car. 

In the backyard, the elderly couple was busy with some work in the pavilion when they heard their granddaughter’s excited voice. So they turned around to look in her direction. 

They saw a young man walking into the yard slowly behind Reine. Looking at the young man’s familiar yet unknown face, their expressions changed suddenly.

grandson alive again, let alone standing in front of them today. 

“Grandpa, Grandma.” Alex hurried forwards, bowing deeply to both of them.

“Is that really you, our little Alex?” Jeanne grabbed Alex’s hands in astonishment, staring at him with tear- filled eyes.
