Marrying

Matthew’s heart tightened immediately at Sophia’s words, questioning, “When and where? What kind of truck? Do you remember the license plate number?” 

With that, he was about to take out his phone to call his bodyguards and have them investigate the vehicle through surveillance footage. 

Being a prominent clan, the Grant family naturally attracted attention. If someone was truly targeting Sophia, Matthew would stop at nothing to find them. 

Sophia finally found some comfort at Matthew’s words, her mood improving slightly. She waved her hand. “No need to investigate. I already told you that the roads were socked in with fog yesterday morning, so the driver couldn’t see me clearly. Since I’m fine, I don’t feel like dwelling on it.” 

However, being always on guard, Matthew didn’t find the matter as simple as it seemed. “This is too dangerous. We have to look into it thoroughly to put our minds at ease. Grandma, tell me the location and time. I’ll send someone to do an investigation. Also, although that girl appeared to be rescuing you, she might have had her secrets. Did you give her anything? Or did you promise her anything?” 

As soon as Matthew finished, Sophia couldn’t contain herself anymore and lashed out at him with her cane. “Shut up, you little punk! I was so scared I thought I’d die under the wheels. You weren’t all there, and that little girl saved me. You’re not even thanking her but suspecting her instead. I’d say you’re just hoping I die!” She was livid with anger. 

Nathan quickly went over and patted her shoulders and back, comforting her, “Grandma, chill. Look at you. You’re doing just fine, and you’ve got plenty of years ahead of you!” 

Matthew realized he had overreacted and endured the hit in silence. After Sophia had finished scolding him, he apologized, “I’m sorry.” 

Sophia humphed. “Well, at least you know you’re wrong! That girl is my lifesaver. You’ve gotta help me find her. I need to thank her properly.” 

Knowing he was in the wrong, Matthew agreed, “Grandma, do you know her name?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Sophia replied matter–of–factly, “No!” leaving Matthew helpless. 

Sophia, sensing his silence, suddenly perked up again. “I don’t care! She saved my life, and you’ve got to find her, no matter what. In religion, we talk about cause and effect. She did me a great favor, and if I don’t do anything in return, this karmic debt will just keep hanging over me…” 

Sophia started talking gibberish, leaving Nathan completely bewildered. 

Matthew looked apologetic, but halfway through Sophia’s talking, he realized something was off. “Grandma, I don’t think you want me to find her just to thank her.” 

Sophia couldn’t help muttering when she heard his words, “What can I say? You’re the craftiest of them all.” 

Matthew pretended he did not hear her. He was used to Sophia’s tricks. She especially came over and talked so much today, acting angry and pitiful, and he had almost been fooled by her out of guilt. It wasn’t until Sophia brought up the theory of cause and effect that he finally realized that she must be up to something. 

Right away, he said, “Since that girl saved Grandma, we definitely need to thank her properly. I’ll find her and give her a nice, fat check. I think that should cover it, Grandma.” 

Knowing that she had been read like an open book, Sophia didn’t bother to hide it any longer. She threw her cane to the side and interrupted Matthew with a smile. “That’s not enough! That girl saved my life. She’s my lucky star. I want her to be my granddaughter–in–law.”
