Chapter 52
“What is it?” Zachary hadn’t heard anything about it.
“I heard it’s someone who made a name for himself in the business world at a young age and created a business legend. Later, his grandson took over the company and expanded its operations. It’s said that he’s now the richest person in the world!” said Ada.
“Are you referring to Christopher?” asked Zachary,
Everyone knew that Christopher was the richest man in the world. However, he rarely showed up in public so no one saw him in newspapers.
Zachary continued, “Is the powerful man you mentioned Mr. Matthew Sanchez? Is he ill?”
He was curious why he hadn’t heard about such astonishing news before.
“The news will eventually spread.” Ada told him the whole story. “Mr. Matthew Sanchez was dying when a high school student suddenly saw him and operated on him.”
Only then did many people know that Matthew was hospitalized at Betrico Hospital, and they came to visit him.
“Who is this mysterious high school student?” Zachary said. After all, saving Matthew meant that he would get paid a fortune.
He thought, ‘A high school student is at most eighteen years old. How could he dare to operate on Mr. Matthew Sanchez What’s most astonishing is that he actually saved him!
‘Unlike him, Yvonne was not only useless but also constantly causing me trouble!‘
“It’s said that Mr. Matthew Sanchez is leaving the hospital. We should take the chance to introduce us to him…” Ada came up with a plan.
“Will he be willing to see us?‘ Zachary looked a little worried.
He didn’t think that someone as powerful as Matthew would like to meet him, the wealthiest man in Wintertown.
“Who knows? We can at least give it a try!” Ada thought that if Matthew was willing to help them, the Khan family wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant towards them anymore.
And after Muriel married into the Khan family, she could at least live a happy life.
“Very well then. We’ll bring gifts with us and visit him when we get a chance.” Zachary became confident again and rummaged out all the precious items in the house.
The next day, Yvonne went to work. As she left the office, she received a friend request on WhatsApp. [It’s me, Yvonne.] Yvonne wondered, [Is it Mr. Matthew Sanchez?]
“Why hasn’t Yvonne accepted my friend request yet…” Matthew kept clicking on his phone and said to William, “Didn’t you say that girls tend to add an emoji at the end of every sentence? did it, but Yvonne hasn’t accepted my friend request yet. Does she think I’m a pervert?”
William tried to hold back his laughter. “I heard that Mrs. Sanchez went to the office. She might be busy with her work and missed your request.”
“She doesn’t need to work at all! I can give her as much money as she wants!” Before Matthew could figure out why Yvonne ignored him, he got a notification on his phone. He glanced at it and yelled in surprise, “Wait. Yvonne accepted my friend

request!”
Yvonne clicked on her phone with her slender fingers and asked, Grandpa Matthew?]
[It’s me. Yvonne. I got your WhatsApp number from Christopher He refused to give it to me at the very beginning!] Matthew sent her a long message.
Yvonne smiled and asked. [How did you feel today?]
54%2
[Much better!] Matthew retracted the message just after sending it. Then he changed the wording and added a sad emoji. [I don’t feel good today because no one came to visit me! I’m so lonely. When are you going to pick me up, Yvonne?]
Yvonne was amused. [Tomorrow.]
[Great! What time will you come tomorrow?] Matthew asked immediately but didn’t get a reply.
At this moment, Christopher was waiting for Yvonne outside the company.
As soon as Yvonne got into the car, she was pulled into his arms. “Who are you texting?”
He saw that she was still texting with a smile on her face when she got out of the company. He wondered who made her so happy.
“Wasn’t it you who gave my WhatsApp number to Grandpa Matthew?” Yvonne raised her eyebrows and asked.
“He called me more than twenty times a day.” Christopher couldn’t help shaking his head. “He just can’t stop talking. Don’t mind him.”
Yvonne found it funny. She thought, ‘Is that how you talk to your grandpa?‘
[Are you busy, Yvonne?]
[I heard that you went to work. Are you doing this for fun or because you’re short on money?]
[Just tell me if you need money. How much do you need? I’ll give it to you now!]
Christopher found it amusing to see his usually stern grandpa using emojis. “Grandpa even learned how to type just because he wanted to talk to you.” That was a dramatic change.
Yvonne leaned back in her seat, lazily typing on her phone. [I’m not short on money. I did it for fun. The summer vacation is too long and I got to do something to kill time.]
tell me that? I can take you around the world! Or do you prefer to stay in Betrico? There are also many [Why didn’t you attractions here and I can show you around.]
Before Yvonne could text back, Christopher took her phone and pressed the recording button, saying with a smile, “You interrupted us, Grandpa.”
Having realized that Christopher was with Yvonne, Matthew felt very delighted. He put down his phone and decided to leave them alone.
It looked like this marriage was very likely to succeed!
“What time should we pick Grandpa up tomorrow?” Yvonne asked lazily.
“You decide,” Christopher said, giving the phone back to her while fiddling with her hand, “I’ll go with whatever you say.” “How about after lunch?” murmured Yvonne. She had to work in the afternoon and didn’t want Matthew to wait too long…

“Okay,” Christopher agreed. Yvonne’s fingers were fair and slender, and even her nails were exceptionally clean and nicely trimmed.
It seemed like Yvonne had some kind of magic. Once he held her hand, he never wanted to let go….
Early the next morning, Mr. Matthew Sanchez got washed and dressed up, looking energetic, waiting for Yvonne to arrive…
William entered the room once again and said helplessly, “Mr. Matthew Sanchez, Mr. Chandelier of the Chandelier Group is visiting you with his daughter, and Mr. Wanda of the Wanda Group and his wife are waiting for you outside with their daughter… Also, there are Mr. Darris of the Darris family and his granddaughter, Mrs. Carpenter of the Carpenter family and her four granddaughters…”
“Tell them to leave!” Matthew shouted. He wanted to see Yvonne not these other people! Apparently, they wanted their daughters and granddaughters to marry into the Sanchez family Matthew wasn’t that senile to ignore what they were up to.
William muttered, “Then I’ll tell them you’re not available right now…”
Matthew snapped, “Tell them I’m not seeing anyone today!” Matthew just wanted to see his grandson with Yvonne.
Matthew thought for a moment and added, “Tell them not to block the entrance, and not to obstruct Yvonne.”
“Yes, sir,” William responded, but as he turned around, he still thought of an excuse to politely decline those waiting outside.
By noon, one group after another had come to visit Matthew…
People William knew and people he didn’t know crowded inside and outside, filling up the hallway!
