Arnold and Felicia? How could it be Felicia?
Kayla stared wide–eyed in disbelief, thinking she must have misheard.
Dexter and Myra were also taken aback, uncertainly asking, “Mr. Lawson Senior, are you talking about our daughter, Felicia, the one who just returned?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes,” Matthew replied in front of all the guests. “Your daughter, Felicia.”
He used the term “your daughter“, implying that Matthew only recognized Felicia’s status as Dexter and Myra’s daughter.
Kayla’s face went pale, and she nearly lost her mind. She almost pointed at Matthew and yelled that he must be getting senile.
Even Arnold didn’t expect his grandfather to pull such a stunt, and he lowered his voice, saying, “Grandpa, what are you talking about? Didn’t you come to meet your lifesaver today?”
Matthew simply gave him a look that made his meaning clear–he had already met her.
Arnold froze for a moment, recalling how Felicia was also present on the day his grandfather fell ill. The person who saved his grandfather was Felicia.
He frowned. If that were true, then Felicia’s timing was too perfect. It was hard not to suspect that she had some ulterior motive.
“Grandpa!” Just as Arnold was about to say he would never agree to this marriage, a cool voice cut him off from the back of the crowd.
“I refuse!” Felicia walked out from behind the crowd with a serious expression.
Matthew merely smiled and said nothing, making it clear that the union between the two families was never something for the younger generation to decide. It was a matter for the elders to agree upon.
The Fuller family was the wealthiest in Khogend, but just having money wasn’t enough. The Lawson family was a prestigious family with a long history, willing to form an alliance with the Fullers, which meant the Fullers and Felicia had a lot to gain.
Of course, considering that Felicia had saved his life, Matthew was friendly toward her. He kindly said, Don’t worry. Once you marry into the Lawson family, I will guarantee no one will dare bully you!”
He then pointed at Arnold, “Not even this kid!”
Was Matthew repaying a debt of gratitude? No, it felt more like revenge to Felicia.
Felicia was so infuriated that she almost laughed. In her previous life, the two families had easily come together, binding her and Arnold tightly. At that time, she had feelings for Arnold, so she didn’t oppose the marriage. This time, she wasn’t going to let that happen.
“I just said Trefuse.” Felicia’s expression was icy, and her tone was even harsher than before. “Mr. Lawson Senior, if you really want to repay my debt of gratitude, just pay me. There’s no need to annoy me with such a disgusting method of revenge!”
What did she just say? Arnold’s face darkened instantly
She said it was a disgusting method of revenge, which meant she was repulsed by the idea of marrying him. It was like a punishment to her. Arnold was furious, his gaze at Felicia filled with rage.
Meanwhile, Kayla was seething with jealousy. She had no idea what Felicia had done to catch Matthew’s

eye in just a few days. She was truly a bitch.

Her face twisted with anger as she wished she could tear Felicia apart. The guests at the scene were also stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
The events of that day were truly entertaining. Some curious onlookers glanced at Kayla and couldn’t help but jab, “Oh? But I remember that the adopted daughter of the Fuller family is Mr. Lawson’s childhood. sweetheart.”
