f Kranson City. The manor occupied. which meant that the entire mountain
The Grant Manor was located in the nort almost the entire Kranson North Mount was the Grant family’s backyard. Moreover, the manor itself had more than 200 years of history, so the design of the manor was not in the popular architectural style seen everywhere. Instead, it retained some ancient style from 200 years ago and was designed by a famous architect.
There was a famous saying in Kranson City, Fortunes might come and go but the Grant family would never fall. The Grant family represented the foundation of wealth in Kranson City.
Besides being unable to finish touring the land in a day, the manor was equally rich. It occupied an area of about 6000 square feet and was divided into five floors. It has a two–story basement and a three–story living area.
Basement level one was the entertainment area. There was a chess room, a singing hall, a screening hall, and so on. It was convenient for a large family to play in when they gathered.
On the second floor of the basement, there were two areas. One was filled with luxury cars, and the other half was the underground collection room. Sophia went to the collection room.
The Grant family was prestigious. Even if their forefathers were not avid collectors, they still had countless treasures over the years. Although many had. been distributed among the branches, the treasures in the manor were still enough to overshadow many small museums.
For this reason, the Grant family even claimed to have a world–class advanced security system. The entire manor was impregnable. However, most of the things. there were art and antiques. They could be given as gifts but were a little strange to give to a mother–in–law.
Sophia walked around the collection room until Nolan came looking for her. Sophia quickly got down to business and asked Nolan to help her choose a gift.
“So it’s the in–law’s birthday. We should really give something good,” Nolan remarked.

Nolan was not a petty person. He immediately waved his hand and asked the butler to bring a top–grade goldenwood gift box. Sophia took a look and was happy. She quickly asked the butler to send to Noria Group.

Matthew immediately glared at Charles and asked, “What’s going on?”
Charles broke out in a cold sweat from being glared at. He quickly put the phone to Matthew’s car. Sophia was full of energy on the other end of the phone. “Matthew, you brat. Do you know that today is your mother–in–law’s birthday? You fool. You’re the new son–in–law. Don’t you even know how to give gifts to her?”
Matthew was puzzled. He thought, ‘My mother–in–law’s birthday? Valerie did not
mention this to me.
Thinking of Ruth’s face that day and Valerie’s embarrassment, Matthew understood that Valerie must have deliberately not told him.
“Grandma.” Måtthew rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “I’ll take care of my own matters. Since Valerie didn’t tell me, it probably isn’t important.”
Sophia was furious on the other end of the phone. If she were there in person, she would probably be so angry that she would strangle Matthew. She didn’t know how she raised such a stupid grandson. “That’s your mother–in–law. It’s her 50th birthday. How can you say that it’s not important?”
Matthew froze for a moment. “I’ll listen to Valerie.” He could tell that Valerie had been mistreated by her mother when she was growing up. Her parents didn’t dote on their children but kept squeezing their daughter dry. He would not respect that kind of elder. Valerie deliberately did not tell him. Clearly, she did not want him to interfere.
Sophia was stunned when she heard this. Matthew was someone who could intimidate the entire family with one look. Even the elders were intimidated before him. She did not expect Matthew to be henpecked.
Sophia sighed and explained, “I have been through this before. Listen to my advice.

“What?” This time, Matthew’s expression changed. He glanced at Charles, and Charles quickly nodded. He was not sure either, but the person on the phone just now did say that.
Unexpectedly, Matthew, who had been standing still just now, suddenly took the gift box from Charles and walked toward the elevator without a word.
“Address,” came Matthew’s cold, hard voice!
Charles was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he quickly raised his voice. “Mr. Grant, it’s the Spring Hotel. The driver is already in the underground parking. lot…”
Before Charles could finish speaking, the elevator had already closed. Matthew did not look for a driver. He drove the business car outside the door toward the Spring Hotel.
