Chapter 3: Inheriting the Family Heirloom When Louis arrived, he didn’t come to argue. “Laura, let’s leave the past behind. | feel sorry for you. My brother is in a vegetative state, and if you stick with him, you’ll end up a widow. Let’s secretly maintain our relationship, and when my brother dies, his wealth will be ours. Laura couldn’t believe how despicable Louis could be. Why didn’t she find it out before? Following his words, she coldly retorted, “What if your brother doesnt die?” She had already treated him with acupuncture, and she believed he would wake up soon “It’s impossible! The doctors have declared him critically ill, and his coffin is already prepared. “What if he wakes up and finds out you’ve been hoping for his death? Would he kill you?” Laura questioned sternly Louis was taken aback and immediately looked at Jonas lying on the bed, with his eyes tightly shut. He breathed a sigh of relief, “Stop scaring me. Laura didn’t have time for his nonsense, “Are you leaving or not? If you don’t, I’ll call someone. Louis was furious but didn’t dare to act recklessly, afraid that Laura would really call someone. He left angrily As soon as he left, Laura approached Jonas’ bed and sat down, looking at his closed eyes. Her voice softened as she spoke, “Can you hear me? Someone is hoping for your death, longing for your hard-earned wealth.

The rest was up to him In the study, Laura met the Newton family’s patriarch, Ken Newton Though his hair was white, he was still spirited, leaning on a cane, possibly due to some leg problems “Nice to meet you, Mr. Newton,” Laura lowered her head slightly and spoke first “Mhm,” the old man replied, and with the help of someone else, he walked over to Laura, stopping in front of her to size her up, “You’re the bride that Jonas married yesterday?” “Yes, I’m Laura Defoe,” she politely responded Laura was straightforward, neither humble nor arrogant. Seeing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction, “You know about Jonas’ condition. You have endured a lot, my child. If there’s anything you want, just say it. The Newton family will do its best to fulfill your wishes. His tone was caring, and his expression benevolent. Laura found herself liking this Grandpa, thinking of her own grandmother “Thank you, Mr. | don’t lack anything. “Hmm? What did you call me?” Laura quickly realized it and corrected herself, “Grandpa. “Good, good. ” The old man turned back and took out a brocade box from the table, handing it to Laura, “This is our Newton family’s heirloom.
