Chapter 1071
To welcome Imogen, the Morrison family put great effort into organizing a party.
Everyone present was dressed formally. There were food and drinks, a pianist playing at the side, and even banners in the garden to welcome her. Holding Jasper's hand, Imogen felt nervous and uneasy as he introduced her to each family member.
By the end, she was so overwhelmed she could hardly remember who was who.
Jasper whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, my family are all good people. They all like you."
Once Imogen got to know these people, she realized that the wealthier and more powerful people were, the more refined their manners were.
They weren't like the stereotypical wealthy people in movies and TV shows, which were snobbish and dismissive. They didn't look down on her background or education at all.
In fact, she only heard them praising her, highlighting her strengths.
Her grandparents-in-law were particularly fond of her. Even the most cherished granddaughter of the Morrison family, Candice, also liked Imogen very much.
It wasn't because Imogen was outstanding, but because Jasper had chosen her. Since Jasper loved her, every member of the Morrison family extended their affection to her as well.
"Imogen, did you know?" Candice said, supporting her pregnant belly and pouting. "Jasper used to say that I was the person he loved the most in the world."
Imogen smiled as she pursed her lips.
Candice huffed at Jasper before continuing, "Ever since he married you, I don't have a place in his heart, not even in second place."
Imogen asked in confusion, "Why?"
Candice replied, "It is because his heart is all filled with you. From the first to the sixth place, they are all occupied by you. So, I don't have a place in his heart anymore."
Listening to her words, Imogen laughed. Her cheeks flushed as she glanced secretly at Jasper.
Jasper didn't deny it. Instead, he smiled as he said, "Isn't it enough that you have Uncle Elio to pamper you? You're too greedy."
Elio, even as the richest man in Norvania, was also present. Despite his status, he was down-to-earth, grilling food, handing out drinks, and being a perfect grandson-in-law.
Candice huffed at Jasper again.
Jasper laughed sheepishly as he said, "I'll complain to Uncle Elio later."
Candice asked, "What do you want to complain about?"
"I want to complain about you being disrespectful, daring to huff at me."
Candice held Imogen's arm and said, "Imogen, you saw him bullying me, right? He always bullies me like this."
Imogen didn't see any bullying. What she saw was a warm and loving family. Everyone was so kind and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
She smiled and asked, "Then how can I help you?"
Candice said with a mischievous smile, "Tonight, don't let Jasper
sleep in the room. Make him stal
away for a few days so he learns to treat his sister well."
Imogen smiled and agreed, "Okay."
Jasper panicked. He stared at Imogen and said softly, "Imogen, she's just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Candice responded, "What? I'm not joking."
Imogen said, "Since Candice is
serious, how can I not help? Tonight, you should sleep by yourself and think about how you should treat your sister." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Candice was delighted by her response. She hugged Imogen and said coyly, "Thanks, Imogen."
Jasper resigned and walked toward Elio, calling out, "Uncle Elio..."
