Chapter 108 The Sham Continues
Matthew immediately glanced at Tiana after Hector’s worrying reaction. Why did he faint.
after I brought over his desired granddaughter-in-law?
He and Tiana rushed over to check on Hector.
Frightened, Tiana muttered, “Hector, Hector. Are you okay?”
I’m supposed to win him over. Why is the old man reacting like this?
Matthew hovered on the side while a doctor tried to resuscitate Hector. “How is my
grandfather?” he asked anxiously.
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief after completing his examination. “He’ll be okay, Mr.
Hilton. Hector’s breathing stuttered because he was agitated. He should recover in no time.”
Upon hearing the report, Chelsea wiped her tears, woried to death over Hector’s condition.
Why is he so agitated after seeing the eldest Ms. Wade? I don’t know what he sees in Tiana
at all, but what can I do? Hector’s weak, and whoever he wants Matthew to marry, Matthew will
bow to his every whim. I can’t object to anything if I want him to stay happy and alive.
Meanwhile, Matthew took his grandfather’s fainting episode as a sign of the latter’s
excitement at seeing Tiana, and his expression cooled.
It seems I have to proceed with this fake marriage.
Hector eventually opened his eyes. When he saw Tiana, his eyes rolled into his head again.
Everyone panicked and yelled, “Hector!”
“Grandpal”
Hector!”
Chelsea coaxed, “Hector, your eldest grandson is home. And look, he brought his girlfriend.
home to see you. Don’t be so agitated!”
eyes.
Hector glanced at Chelsea after hearing her words. He pointed at his room and closed his
Much to their disbelief, Hector was merely tired and wished to rest. Instead of meeting the
woman he had wanted Matthew to marry, Hector chose to retreat to his room.
Chelsea summoned the housekeeper and instructed, “Send Hector back to his room to rest.”
She thought it best for Hector to avoid Tiana for the time being, lest he became agitated and
developed conditions far worse than fainting.
Under the housekeeper and the doctor’s accompaniment, Hector returned to his room.
Chelsea dried her tears as Matthew sat beside her, draping his arm around her comfortingly.
“Grandma, the doctor said Grandpa’s vitals are normal. He’ll be okay soon,” he said gently.
He knew his grandparents had a loving and lasting relationship, and neither could bear the
anguish of losing their spouse.
Nodding, Chelsea replied, “I know. He’ll live to be a hundred years old.”
Tlana stood aside, a box of ginseng dangling awkwardly from her arm. She was disappointed,
as she had missed her chance to talk to Hector.
Noticing Chelsea’s grief, Tiana gingerly sat beside the old woman and offered, “I bought
some skincare products for you, Old Mis. Hilton. They’re suitable for your age group.”
her.
Chelsea glanced at Tiana. She looks average to me, but I can’t say anything if Hector likes.
Then, Chelsea nodded lightly and mumbled, “Thank you. You’re too generous.”
Matthew and Tiana had dinner with Chelsea, who got up midway to check if Hector had
eaten anything.

When they were alone, Matthew piped up, “I’ll send chauffeur for

to act as my girlfriend. You don’t need to go to the office anymore. If you’re unwilling to keep up
this act, I can dissolve the contract any time.”
He would not force her to proceed with this sham of courtship, even if it pleased Héctor.
Tiana was already delighted to be in his presence, and she was hardly going to relinquish
any opportunity to insert herself in Matthew’s life.
Hence, she sputtered, “I’m fine with keeping this up, Matthew. Perfectly fine.”
Matthew raised his left hand and checked the time on his exorbitant watch.
“It’s late. I’ll ask my chauffeur to send you home.”
Fearful of Matthew dissolving their contract, Tiana jumped to her feet and replied, “Okay, I’ll
leave now, Matthew. Please call me if you need me. Anytime
