Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 558

Chapter 558 The Murrays Are Filthy Rich

Reuben Murray grew up with his sister, and he was the one who doted on her the most. Despite the fact that he was already well past his fifties, he couldn’t help but shed tears of sorrow upon recalling memories of his sister.

“Hey, it’s all in the past now. I’ve finally managed to stop it, so don’t make me start crying again,” Lindsay quickly chided. During the past few days, she had been immersed in the happiness of having a granddaughter, so she didn’t want to cry anymore.

Reuben was a man after all, so he turned around to wipe away his tears quietly. “Alright. It’s all in the past now. I’ll stop crying. Linda, your aunt and I prepared for you a present when we got news that you’re coming home. We hope you will like the present.”

Then, he signaled Jocelyn with a look, which prompted her to go into their room with a smile on her face. After retrieving a pretty box with a folk design, she handed it to Linda. “Open the box and check it out.”

When Linda opened the box, she found out that it contained a set of jewelry. Glimmering under the light, the ornate jewelry was obviously worth a lot. Upon seeing that, Linda reacted as if she was given a bar of hot steel, which she quickly tried to pass back to Jocelyn. “Uncle Reuben, Aunt Jocelyn, I can’t take this present. It’s too expensive.”

“Just take it if people are giving it to you! The price doesn’t matter! We’re family after all,” Lindsay quickly said.

“Yeah, Linda. This is nothing. We had planned to give you these to be added to your dowry, but… Oh, let’s leave those behind us. Now that we have given it to you as a present, you should wear this when you get married in a glorious wedding.”

However, Lindsay pouted before retorting, “That won’t do! She can wear this during other more casual occasions. I will order better ones for her when she gets married!” Despite the fact that she was eighty years old, she looked all childish when she pouted.
