Chapter 138
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
“Hello. A very hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ashley was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had called the wrong number. “Isn’t this Matthew’s phone number? Where is
Charles had answered the phone. He glanced at Mar new, who was having a remote meeting in the conference room. After analyzing the tone of the woman who called and the fact that she had directly called Matthew by his first name, Charles immediately realized that she was Valerie’s relative.
Since the woman was Valerie’s relative, Charles could not neglect her.
Charles immediately put on a smile and said. “Hello, I’m Matthew’s boss. He’s busy now. If you’re not in a hurry, you can call later.” Charles could easily pretend to be a boss now, but to avoid being exposed, it was better to speak less.
When Ashley heard that Charles was about to hang up, she quickly interrupted, “Wait.” It was urgent. Very urgent.
There would be no such opportunities next time. It was precisely because there were so many people today that Ashley insisted on using this opportunity to let everyone see that Valerie had married a poor driver.
Last time, the driver had spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of seafood and even gave Valerie a diamond ring. Ashley didn’t believe he would give a generous gift this time. No matter how generous it was, it couldn’t be as generous as the gift her brother had given Ruth.
Ashley lowered her voice and said, “Tell Matthew that today is my mother–in–law’s 50th birthday. Matthew is so arrogant. He didn’t even attend the birthday party. My mother–in–law is furious now. If he doesn’t come, he will have no wife soon.”
After saying that, Ashley gave an address and hung up.
Charles was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he quickly recorded the address. He thought, ‘Good lord. It is Mr. Grant’s mother–in–law’s birthday party.‘

Matthew had to attend the party. Charles wanted to tell Matthew about this.
However, through the translucent glass door, he saw that there was still a meeting going on in the conference room..
As Matthew’s assistant, Charles knew how important the meeting was. It was related to Noria Group’s overseas market development. But Matthew’s mother–in- law’s birthday party seemed to be very importa If Matthew did not go today, Charles was afraid that Matthew would lose his v He didn’t know what to do.
Charles was in a panic. At this moment, he received a call from Sophia. She asked Charles to remind Matthew to bring Valerie to the Grant Manor for a family party.
“What’s wrong? Why do you sound so flustered?” Sophia felt that something was
wrong.
Charles seemed to have found his savior. He quickly told Sophia what had happened on the phone. “Mrs. Sophia, what should we do?”
“What should we do?‘ Sophia thought, also panicking.
The in–law’s birthday party was such a big event. Matthew had to attend it, of course. He would be dumb if he didn’t. Moreover, Sophia had spent so much effort to make Valerie her daughter–in–law. She could not let this be ruined.
Sophia had been through a lot and regained her composure quickly. She immediately lowered her voice. “When will Matthew be done with the meeting?”
“It’s supposed to last three hours. It’s been two hours now,” Charles said.
“Alright.” Sophia slapped the table. “I’ll send someone to prepare gifts and clothes. Get the driver to pick him up downstairs. When that brat comes out of the meeting room, bring him to the car to change his clothes. Then, send him to the Spring Hotel as soon as possible.”
This was the first time Matthew attended his mother–in–law’s birthday party. Sophia had made up her mind not to let others think that the Grant family was being rude. She had to let Matthew dazzle everyone.
Matthew had a suitable outfit already. After all, he usually attended all kinds of parties. Any one of them would do.
