James was clearly unhappy with their sudden appearance.
Cheryl was exceptionally annoyed by the old manâs words too, her face was filled with disgust.
âWhat do you mean by âspinsterâ?
âI just have high standards for men!â
James replied, âWhat brings you here, Wilson? What makes you think Iâd welcome you at my
doorstep? Were you banned from working in Michigan? Is that why?â
This old man was Patrick Wilson, he had quite a history with James. The two used to be apprentices
under a famous doctor, they were like godbrothers. James was older than Patrick, so became the older
brother.
However, Patrick didnât learn medicine to save lives, he wanted the money.
Back then, he would use his masterâs title to scam others. This was why their master expelled him and
was no longer deemed as one of his disciples. However, Patrick had the mind of a businessman. Even
though he couldnât become a famous doctor, he managed to start up a health care centre, selling
ancient spa treatments.
To their surprise, his business was extremely successful, and he managed to open a few more
branches in other states.
James knew exactly how his spa treatment worked. It wasnât entirely a scam, yet the advertised
effectiveness was way too misleading. The price for said treatment was off the roof too.
Patrickâs grandson was Zachary Wilson, an actual doctor. He graduated from a prestigious medical
university overseas as well.
Zachary had met Cheryl before and was absolutely mesmerized by her beauty. He had many dreams
about her as well, and he enjoyed every second of those dreams.
He couldnât help but burn up when he thought about her exceptionally curvy body.
He noticed Alex, a complete stranger, was handing Grandma a jade statue. He felt upset and
competitiveness grew within him as his gaze turned cold.
Patrick huffed. âConey, are you deaf? I said Iâve got you a grandson-in-law. Cheryl will become the
Wilsonsâ daughter-in-law from now on.â
Cheryl just couldnât bear listening any further. âDid I agree to this?â
Patrick was shocked. âMy grandson is a postgraduate from the prestigious Mediziner University, his
future is bright! With our familyâs wealth, you wonât have to worry about anything for life! How dare you
reject our offer? You havenât even found anyone at this age. Do you really want to become a spinster?â
James replied, âYouâre too late, Cherry already has a husband. This man, Alex Rockefeller, is my
grandson-in-law.â
âWhat?â
When Zachary realized that his doubts were true, his feelings for Cheryl immediately turned into anger.
âHow dare you marry someone else?
âIâd already decided to have you as my wife!â
Alex was puzzled, he turned to Cheryl and met eyes with her.
Cheryl inched closer towards him and nudged his arm gently, her eyes pleading.
Alex smiled softly and nodded.
He had agreed to be Cherylâs pretend-husband temporarily.
Suddenly, Patrick snapped. âConey, what are you bullsh*tting about? How would I not know if your
granddaughter had gotten married? If she really did, you wouldâve definitely sent wedding invitations to
Baker and the others! Listen, stop making unbelievable lies up. What? Do you think my grandson
doesnât deserve your granddaughter?â
