She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Grandfather's Identity

Jase saw Juliana still lost in thought, and pulled her skirt to make her kneel down with him.

Juliana's tender knees hit the cold, hard floor, causing her to wince in pain and furrow her brow.

"It's all my fault, old Mr. Edwards. Please forgive us for the sake of my master's master," Jase said.

Layne snorted as he stuffed his hands into his pockets like a sulking elementary school student. "I'm just a country bumpkin who can't even read or write. I don't deserve your apologies."

Hearing the sarcasm in old Mr. Edwards' words, Jonathan couldn't help but cast a mournful glance at Jase.

He angrily muttered under his breath so only Jase could hear him, "Are you guys out of your minds? How dare you call old Mr. Edwards a country bumpkin!"

Jase hung his head guiltily; he had no idea that his own niece would dare speak so arrogantly!

Who was old Mr. Edwards?

He was someone whom even Jase's master's master greatly admired and respected for his mastery of traditional painting - one painting from old Mr. Edwards could fetch an astronomical price!

If he were a country bumpkin who couldn't read, what did that make them?

At this moment, fans sent bullet comments fanatically because they had discovered Layne's identity which was amazing.

[Layne was born into an intellectual family where his ancestors served as imperial physicians. In 1920s, they gave up medicine to become successful entrepreneurs and became one of Onistead's famous aristocratic families; graduated from Pioneer Medical School at age 20 and became a national first-class medical worker at age 22; invited to participate in international healthcare development conferences around the world; appointed vice-chairman of United Nations Health Organization at age 35.]

However, it was also during this year when he achieved great success that tragedy struck.

His wife died during childbirth leaving behind only Selah - who had below-average intelligence compared to others.

In order to take care of Selah wholeheartedly, Layne resigned from being vice-chairman of the health organization and returned to Akloit to retire for good. He never remarried!

"Oh my god! This seemingly ordinary elderly man has such an impressive background! I remember eating antibiotics developed by him when I was young... They were so sweet but no longer on sale!"

"Imperial physician! Just hearing such words makes me imagine so much! Juliana really kicked herself into trouble this time."

Juliana's fans expressed their dissatisfaction. A netizen named "Biscuit" commented: "This old man is intentional. He is such a big figure but pretends to be good for nothing, just to make my Juliana lose face."

Then a bunch of people started commenting: "Your values are so strange, I bet your facial features are crooked too! @Biscuit"

"#Breaking news# Old Mr. Edwards is not only a genius in medicine but also an artist. Last month, one of his paintings sold for over six million dollars and was bought by a collector."

"Just look at it. Does Juliana dare say that he is a country bumpkin who can't read? Who is really illiterate? I remember Juliana only has a junior high school education @Biscuit"

Some female netizens were caught up in Layne's romantic story - remaining unmarried for life for his wife.

In today's society where materialism reigns supreme, love between men and women is no longer as pure as it used to be in books. "One soulmate in a lifetime" has become a joke.
