"A few months ago, I was injured while filming in Northland and went to the hospital. Jasmine Seven was with me, and then she called President Forest. Thanks to him, the situation was handled well," Jane Sampson answered honestly.
"So, youâve known each other for several months," Old Madam Forest said, nodding her head after speaking.
Just as Jane Sampson was about to agree, she suddenly heard Old Madam Forest ask, "When do you plan to get married? Youâve known each other for a few months now. You can get married."
Jane Sampson almost choked on her own saliva.
"What?" Jane Sampson raised her voice.
Seeing Jane Sampsonâs reaction, Old Madam Forest pushed a glass of water towards her and continued, "Marry within three months, or register within one month, and youâll be rewarded with a villa in Capital Province and ten million. If you have a child within two years after marriage, youâll receive 3% of Forest Clan shares, plus three houses, with the locations of your choice. Whenever you have a second child, youâll get an additional 5% of the Forest Clan shares and five more houses and five shops, locations also your choice."
!!!
???
From being utterly baffled initially, Jane Sampsonâs expression turned to outright horror.
Did Grandma Forest really believe the news on Twitter that she was Kane Forestâs girlfriend?
Did Grandma Forest come here alone, with several bodyguards, just to say all this?
Marriage pressure!
Capitalized marriage pressure!
This is completely different from how a noble lady of a wealthy family meets her grandsonâs girlfriend in private!
Isnât it supposed to be, give a house and one million to leave my grandson?
"Grandma Forest," Jane Sampson sipped some cool boiled water to calm her nerves, "Grandma Forest, take a good look at me."
"I saw enough on the way here," Old Madam Forest responded, but still leaned in to take a closer look at Jane Sampsonâs face, "Youâre quite beautiful. You seem likable to me. Despite my age, Iâm open-minded. I have no prejudice against actors. Your performances are pretty good."
"Grandma Forest, donât you think my name sounds familiar? Or that my face looks familiar?" Jane Sampson almost reverted to her childhood habit of climbing trees to jog Grandma Forestâs memory.
"It does sound a bit familiar," Grandma Forest nodded, "Probably because Iâve seen you on TV pretty often."
Jane Sampson, touching her forehead in resignation, moved closer to Grandma Forest with a helpless smile and said, "Grandma Forest, Iâm little Jane. When I was a child, we met two or three times when you visited the great courtyard."
Grandma Forestâs expression softened slightly, she genuinely tried to recall, and then looked at Jane Sampson again, exclaimed, "Now that you mention it, I do remember! Donât you have a younger brother? Whatâs his name?"
"Bright Sampton," Jane Sampson said.
"Yes, yes, thatâs the name!" Grandma Forest slapped her thigh, "Canât believe itâs the child I met back then. Thatâs wonderful! I liked you a lot when you were small. I remember how clever and lively you were, loved by everyone in the great courtyard."
At this, Grandma Forest was delighted, "I didnât expect my usually quiet big grandson to be so impressive, to find such an excellent wife for me. Little Jane, when are you and Kane Forest getting married?"
"Grandma Forest, I already got married," Jane Sampson was also caught between laughter and tears by Grandma Forestâs question, "You know my husband too, James Black. Weâve been married for several years now."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Forestâs happy expression suddenly changed.
"I knew it! I knew it! A good girl like you would have been taken home early. How could it be Kaneâs turn!" Grandma Forest really looked frustrated as she stamped her foot.
