Chapter 234 - Reward At Last
"Did you find out why my niece is kept in the tower?" Matida grumbled at her assistant Trevor.
She is the eldest granddaughter of Jonathan Erling and her father was the eldest son and the second child of Jonathan Erling. But her grandfather never loved her because she is the grandchild of the woman he hated. Apparently, the Grandsire's father forced him to marry Matilda's grandmother after the death of the "love of his life".
How is that her fault in any way?
She watched her grandmother die filled with regrets because she couldn't compete with a dead Aniko Corvin.
Her grandmother told her how she strived hard to get a little place in her husband's heart but no, all she got was dismissal and how devastated she was as she watched her husband siring children with other won all her life.
She ended her life, and even her death was covered up as a heart attack to maintain the reputation of the Grandsire.
Matilda was the one with her grandmother at that ti. She watched her swallowing a bunch of pills with vodka.
'You won, Aniko...'
Those were her last words.
Matilda hated that na... Aniko... She despised it.
She despised the grandsire more for leaving his wife to die miserably.
But she liked his money... Her grandmother endured all the pain because of that man and she is entitled to that money, is she not?
All Matilda wanted was a chuncky share of the billions entitled to her. But what did she get? Just a asly art museum!
She waited all her life thinking that if she is obedient enough, she will one day get the billions she deserves. But she didn't.
She watched the grandsire marrying won younger than her mother and then younger than her and his current wife is younger than her son.
Why can't he just stop! Does he not know that he needs to share his wealth? Wouldn't more children an the billions would be spread thin when they share it?
She waited and waited, but the grandsire never turned to look at her. He didn't look at her entire family, including her aunt's family.
She watched him slowly getting older and his arrogance never reduced. She almost lost hope... until that day.
That day she was in the grandsire's office with her son. She was summoned to talk about the embezzlent complaint on her husband.
Yeah, my husband took it! You have billions! Why can't we take a hundred million from it? Aren't we entitled to it?
But that day, everything changed. The grandsire talked to them about the billions he has kept safe for the heir of the Hamilton family; heir of his one true love.
Wasn't the heavens on her side for her to learn that? Well, he thought he was talking to his assistant but he was not the one listening.
She thought the grandsire would figure it out, but he didn't. She decided to find out the heir to bring him to the grandsire and get on the grandsire's good side.
But why get on the good side, when you can get the billions for yourself?
She decided to bring back the heir dead to the grandsire and get the billions for herself. For that, she needed to find the heir first.
When she investigated, it was revealed that so of the bonds that belonged to Edward Hamilton are maturing. She knew by tracking the money, she could find out where the heir is.
But the people around the heir were smart and they abandoned the money.
That was a closed door and she was displeased.
But just like a miracle, she ca across the heir. That's when she knew for sure that the heavens are on her side.
She had to go to A country regarding her art museum and there she t David Millman a real estate developer. His wife was very chatty and she ntioned his secretary with an odd na, 'Aniko'.
Wasn't it lucky?
She decided to get more information on her and found out that she was indeed the granddaughter of Edward Hamilton aka Edward Hopkins.
Guess what? The Hopkins had a glassware company just like the Hamiltons.
She decided to end her. She saw her picture and she was pretty. But that doesn't an she can live. Only when Aniko dies, she can get her billions.
Well, she tried if she can honeytrap her using her son and make her daughter-in-law before revealing her identity to the grandsire hence acquiring the billions, but it would take a lot of ti and she already had a boyfriend; soone with decent connections.
So, die, great-granddaughter of my grandmother's archnesis!
She got the contact of Viper from the Erling family connections. And she promised him so millions and he was happy to oblige.
But he faced hiccups as soone called Fitzgerald interrupted and he had the backing of Volkonsky. She was not scared of Volkonsky, but she feared that Volkonsky will reveal the identity of the heir if he gets an idea that she is involved.
So she had to back off a bit.
But later she found out that the patents given by Edward Hamilton were as useless as a map for a blind man. The grandsire leased the patents, but no one could decipher the descriptions in the patents and no one could make glass as the Hamilton family did.
Only those who worked in Hamilton's factory knew the original formula. That patent missed sothing only they knew.
So Matilda decided to buy that company with the workers using the Erling na but it caught the attention of Volkonsky and she had to abandon that plan.
And after that, everything spiraled out of control. That heir got married to the Fitzgerald guy and the tiara she wore was that of the Hamilton family's.
Soone from the high society caught it but Matilda had to interfere and put that rumor to rest by making up lies.
She knew she cannot hold on and incited the drug lord to take necessary steps and after a lot of help and using the Erling na the Heir knocked the door to death.
But... Volkonsky saved her and no one knows where she is now.
She heard her niece who was dating Mikhail Volkonsky, is held in the tower after she t with the grandsire and it caused butterflies in her stomach.
"I tried to..." Trevor began to speak but he stopped seeing Gordon entering.
"Lady Matilda," Gordon bowed his head.
This weasel...
Matilda sat crossing her legs.
"The Grandsire gave you a task seven months back and he wanted to reward you for finishing it with utmost sincerity. To award you, the Grandsire is arrange a dinner honouring you next weekend," Gordon said with a bow, hiding his smirk.
"What?" Matilda was confused.
Is this a test?
"The heir to the Hamilton family is dead, Lady Matilda. The Grandsire is very happy you understood his heart and took on the arduous task yourself."
Matilda chuckled. "Is that so?"
So the Grandsire planned all this to happen? He wanted her dead too?
I won!
