Serve No One This Life

Chapter 91 Hundreds of Tables of Relatives
Donald had been a teacher for decades and was widely regarded as an
exceptional educator. He held himself to high moral standards and rarely lost his
temper. However, when he did become angry, a mere change in his facial
expression was enough to instill fear in people.
With a stern expression, he said, “Il am just an ordinary man who doesn’t know
how to sugarcoat things. I don't want to hypocritically talk about how money is
merely an external possession. Angela is our beloved child. Both her aunt and I
treat her as our own daughter. We only wish for her well-being and happiness.
As long as she lives a happy life, we don’t ask for anything more.
“You're all of the wealthy family, so even if we were to empty our coffers to
accompany her dowry, it would still pale in comparison in your eyes. But we're
not selling off our niece. We're not greedy for your wealth. All of these betrothal
gifts, along with what we provide as dowry, will be given to Angela. Not a single
penny will be kept.
“Nothing puts our mind more at ease than you treating our Angela well.”
Not keep a single penny?! Emilia stood up in great shock and anger. That was a
mountain of wealth; the cash alone amounted to millions, not to mention the
several residential properties. She believed giving any one of those houses to
her eldest son would ensure them. a comfortable life and thought her son-in-law
was out of his mind not to want anything.
Quincy's expression turned cold, and he reached out to restrain his
grandmother's arm, his voice tinged with frost. “Grandma, if you keep talking like
this, they will think we're greedy and money-minded. Imagine if they reconsider
Angela and choose someone else instead. We'd end up with nothing.”
Her grandmother was, to put it bluntly, money—hungry. Letting go of the money
that was already within her grasp was like a knife to the heart, and her outburst
made both families. uncomfortable. It would also damage Angela's reputation if
she went through with the marriage.
By reminding his grandmother to leave a way out and weigh the options bf com
this money or having a chance to gain it, the elderly woman would finally restr
tely losing herself.
For someone always shrewd about anything relating to money, Emilia shut up
within seconds and sat back down obediently.
Donald was Angela's paternal uncle, and given how close they were, especially
when Angela invited him and not her father to represent her family on her
engagement, it proved that Donald meant a lot more to Angela.

in Angela's hands now, she certainly would help her uncle out if he encountered
any difficulties, wouldn't she? On the other hand, if they scared off their
prospective son-in-law, they would end up with nothing. No, she couldn't
possibly let other girls benefit from this!
Emilia’s eyes darted around as she thought quickly before eventually whispering,
“Alright, I'll listen to you. Education does make a difference. Your mind works fast,
Quincy”
Quincy tugged at his lips, snorted, and fell silent.
All the shrewdness in this room belonged to the Sanderses and Lawsons. His
parents. wouldn't have the slightest clue even if they were being discussed for
money! As for his grandmother's scheming, Bruce and Kevin paid no attention to
itatall!
He took a quick survey and found that the two elders were wholly unfazed, not
even a flicker in their gazes.
Following his words of conviction, Donald handed the gift lists to Angela,
speaking gently, “Here, Angela, hold on to them. They're all yours. With these
things, you'll have a foundation. After you're married, settle down and make the
most of it.
Hecate, too, held Angela's hand with red—rimmed eyes as she pressed the gift
list into it. “If Jonathan mistreats you, you can divorce him with this money. With
money, you can still live a good life.*,
Jonathan was stupefied. He couldn't believe they were already discussing
divorce right before his eyes.
Quincy, who had been tense all along, couldn't help chuckling when he saw the
stupefaction that flashed across Jonathan, and he chirped, “Mom's right. If Mr.
Lawson treats you poorly. take the money and leave. At that point, you'll become
a rich woman worth billions.
Seeing that his son’s words were becoming out of line, Donald shot him a stern
glance, admonishing. “Excuse you! Is this how you should speak as Angela's
cousin?”
Quincy shrugged in response, playing dumb as he buried his head in the food.
Meals at the Laurel Hotel were rare occasions. He knew he should eat while he
had the chance.
Meanwhile, Donald pulled out a small box from his pocket. “We originally planned
to celebrate your birthday today, especially since you're turning twenty this year.
But it’s also good that we're celebrating your engagement today. Your uncle, I
have average taste in things, so I hope you'll like the birthday gift I got you.
“Time flies. You're twenty and grown up now...

It seemed like it was just yesterday when they brought this scrawny little girl
back. Now, she had grown into a fine young lady and was about to be married.
Tears began welling up in Donald's eyes, and for once, the usually dignifying and
steady man shed a tear.
Angela held two pieces of gilt paper in one hand and a small red velvet box
containing a pair. of dainty gold flower earrings in the other.
Uncle Donald still remembers my birthday.
Tears, too, welled up in Angela's eyes as she threw herself into Donald's
embrace. “Thank you, Uncle Donald. From now on, you're my father, just like
Queenie and Quincy are to you! I will care for you just like they will!"
Donald smiled comfortingly and patted her head.
“A man of character, you are, Donald. I like it! You and your wife can entrust
Angela to Jon; rest assured. If Jon ever mistreats Angela, I'll be the first to give
him a piece of my mind!” Bruce, with a thunderous voice, slammed the table and
shouted to the server outside. “Someone, bring all the whiskey I stored here!
Today calls for a celebration! Let's drink up!”
Bruce's face was flushed as he stood up, hooking his arm around Donald's
shoulder, and went

sit down on his side, engaged in enthusiastic conversation with each other in just
a few words.
In no time, the servers brought the liquor over, and Bruce began pouring the
drinks one after another. “Cheers to the young couple! Here's to a long and
happy life!”
Donald's tolerance for alcohol was average, but he had to drink for Angela's
sake. So, he gritted his teeth and took a sip.
Quincy narrowed his eyes. He knew his father couldn't possibly outdrink Bruce,
so after just a second of contemplation, he grabbed a bottle and a glass and
joined the fray.
Kevin glanced over and sneered. He's done at least one good thing.
