Old Mr. Xander glanced at his son and thought for a moment before saying, “Alright, she can stay at your place.” He thought that it was fine as long as Annalise was Lee’s biological daughter. No matter what Heather had done wrong in the past, the child was innocent. Moreover, Lee’s illness gradually recovered after Annalise’s arrival. One of the reasons was probably due to Annalise’s superb medical skills, and the other reason was Lee was in a good mood after knowing that he had a daughter. When one was in a good mood, all illnesses would be cured. Thinking of Annalise’s full name, Old Mr. Xander frowned and said, “Since it’s confirmed that she is the Xander family’s bloodline, we should change her last name as soon as possible.” Lee said, “Dad, let’s not change the last name.”
Old Mr. Xander frowned. “Is it because she might not be your daughter?” her for a day. Heather is no longer around. Let Annalise keep Barton as her last name.” Old Mr. Xander wanted to say that Heather deserved it. But, when he saw his son’s sad expression, he could not bear to say it. He sighed and said, “So be it then.” “Thank you, Dad!” Lee said. Old Mr. Xander glanced in the direction of Annalise and said, “Since we’ve knowledged her, she is a part of the Xander family. We can’t let anyone bully her.” “That’s right!” Lee smiled again.
He recognized Annalise publicly so that he could protect Annalise from being bullied. Old Mr. Xander saw the doting expression and the smile on Lee’s face. He felt gratified and his expression became much better. He looked around and saw the butler greeting guests nearby. He waved for the butler. The butler came over immediately. He instructed the butler, “Bring me my thousand-year-old ancient jewelry.” The butler was shocked. “Old Mr. Samuel, you’ve always treasured that ancient jewelry.”
Alright…” The butler immediately left. Ten minutes later, the butler came back with the ancient jewelry. He held the box carefully as he was so afraid. that he would knock into it Nancy happened to see it and immediately recognized the box containing the ancient jewelry. She asked the butler in surprise, “Mr. Wallich, isn’t that Grandpa’s ancient jewelry? What are you doing with this?”
The butler said politely, “I don’t know either. Old Mr. Xander asked me to bring it over.” He did not know. He could only guess that Old Mr. Xander want to give the ancient jewelry to Annalise. “Okay! Mr. Wallich, hurry up. Don’t let Old Mr. Xander wait too long.” Nancy smiled slightly. Nancy guessed that Old Mr. Xander must have been chatting with a few old friends and wanted to show them the thousand-year ancient jewelry.
People were like that. They always like to show off their rarest possessions to attract praise from others. “Okay” The butler immediately took the Xander. Namey thought that since she had nothing to do now, she might as well follow him to take a look. Old Mr. Xander took the box containing the thousand-year ancient jewelry from the butler and walked straight toward Annalise. Nancy saw that there were indeed two old men not far from Annalise. They were Mr. Sullen and Mr. Yannick, who were chatting happily.
