Chapter 1046

Mister Harrisons seemed unwilling to bring it up again, and waved his hand in dismissal. “Never mind,

let’s not talk about that for now. The main reason we came here today is to take you and your

grandmother away from here.”

“Leave… What do you mean?”

Elijah’s tone was heavy. “This place has already been mortgaged by us. Tonight will be our last dinner

in this old house. After we finish eating, you and Grandma will have to pack your things. We’re moving

elsewhere.”

Vicky had not expected the situation to be so severe that they had to mortgage their property. Worried,

she asked,” Isn’t this old mansion a heritage of the Harrisons? Hasn’t it been here for generations? Are

we really giving it up just like that?”

Mister Harrisons shot her a bitter smile. “In a few days, our family name will be gone, let alone this

house. Not ending up on the streets would be considered fortunate for us.”

As they were speaking, Old Madam Harrisons was also brought down by the servant.

When everyone saw Old Madam Harrisons, everyone quieted down.

After dinner, Mister Harrisons said to Old Madam Harrisons, “Mom, I’ll have the servants help you pack

your luggage.

We’re moving elsewhere to stay tonight.”

Although Old Madam Harrisons was old, she had a sharp mind and was not the kind of senile old lady.

Old Mister Harrisons passed away early, and when she was young, she managed a large company on

her own.

Therefore, she was no ordinary old lady.

Old Madam Harrisons did not raise a single question and directly said, “I’ve already packed everything.

You can go upstairs and bring them down.”

Mister Harrisons was taken aback.

Although they had not told Old Madam Harrisons anything, she understood the situation clearly.

Looking at Old Madam Harrisons’ calm expression, Vicky grew a hint of admiration in her heart.

When Old Madam Harrisons was young, she toiled tirelessly. After finally raising Mister Harrisons and

stabilizing the situation, just as she was about to enjoy her later years, she was diagnosed with a

terminal illness. Now, the family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In the face of such tribulations, how could one not admire Old Madam Harrisons’ ability to remain so

composed?

Old Madam Harrisons turned her head and met Vicky’s gaze. In a gentle voice, she said, “You should

go and pack your things, you lot. I need to speak with Vicky alone.”

Mister and Missus Harrisons nodded and left, while Elijah hesitated and looked at Vicky.

In the end, he did not say anything and got up to leave.

After everyone had left, Old Madam Harrisons held Vicky’s hand.

“Vicky, has Elijah mentioned our current situation to you?” Vicky remained quiet for a few seconds and

nodded gently.

Mister and Missus Harrisons and Elijah had already discussed it with her earlier.

“Good, then.” Old Madam Harrisons sighed. “I’ve lived long enough to see pretty much everything.

Wealth is nothing but a whiff of smoke that eventually vanishes, but for you…” She looked at Vicky.

“You are still young and you have so much potential. You shouldn’t get dragged down alongside us.

Vicky, I hereby announce that your engagement with Elijah ends here.”

Vicky paled slightly and opened her mouth to argue.” Grandma, I-‘

Old Madam Harrisons tapped on her hand with a smile.” Vicky, I know what you want to say. Even if

you don’t marry Elijah, I will still think of you as my granddaughter… It would make my day if you could

come by to visit me whenever you have time in the future.”

Vicky studied the endearing look on Old Madam Harrisons’ face and felt a lump in her throat.

She could definitely proclaim her undying loyalty to the Harrisons if she was truly Elijah’s girlfriend, but

the entire engagement was nothing but an act. It was sad to say that their relationship was bound to

end at one point, she just didn’t expect it to come so soon.
