Chapter 247
After the people left, Tommy immediately went to the box containing the money, took out the stack, and counted them. He scrutinized them and shouted, “Grandpa, the money is real.”
Lex was still trying to figure out who was this Mr. Caden, and why he was so generous.
Tommy put down the money and walked toward Lex. Then, he said, “Grandpa. The only woman not married in the Callahans is Megan and Yzabella from uncle’s side. However, Yzabella already has a boyfriend, and he isn’t named Caden either.”
“Yeah, yhis Mr. Caden didn’t even state whose hand in marriage was he asking for and sent so many betrothal gifts?” Lex nodded and said.
“It must be for me. I’m so much prettier than Yzabella. This mysterious Mr. Caden is surely not interested in her. He is definitely asking for my hand in marriage,” Megan exclaimed and reacted in excitement.
“Hmm.”
Lex pondered for a while.
Among the unmarried women of Callahans, Megan was the most outstanding one, and he also agreed that the gifts must have been for Megan.
Still, who was this Mr. Caden?
“Megan, do you any rich man by the name of Mr. Caden? The only family that had the surname Caden was the one ten years ago. There aren’t any other families with the surname that could afford such lavish gifts,” Lex glanced at Megan and asked.
“Ah? N-no.” Megan fell into thought.
She had no recollection of any rich man called Mr. Caden.
The Callahans began to guess who the betrothal gift was for and the identity of the mysterious sender, Mr. Caden.
Meanwhile, Jarnes, who was headed home, received a call from Scarlett.
“James, I’ve sent the betrothal gifts to the Callahans. Lex had personally received them.” James frowned and said, “Did you send them to the Callahans’ villa?” “Y-yeah. Is something the matter?” James scolded, “Why did you send it to the Callahans’ villa? I asked you to send it to Thea’s house!”
“Huh? Don’t be angry, James. I’ll send someone to take them back and redeliver them again immediately,” Scarlett said hurriedly in panic.
