Chapter 19
It was a call from Jane.
In a gentle voice, she asked Susan to go home, saying that her family missed her.
Susan was touched.
Since she could remember, Jane had never talked to her so gently.
“Does this mean that Mom actually loves me? Are they actually worried about me after I married into the Landor family?” With this thought in mind, Susan felt moved, so she agreed to go home for dinner.
She was only going to have a simple meal with her family.
However, when Charlie heard that Susan was going back to the Miller residence, he said, “This is Susan’s first time returning to the Miller residence after the wedding! We must attach great importance to it!”
He turned around and ordered the servant, saying, “There is a pair of nice bracelets among those jewels that Susan auctioned. Go get them! Also, fetch the sapphire necklace from my collection. And…”
Charlie kept giving instructions, and Susan got dumbfounded by that. She said hurriedly, “Grandpa, it’s going to be a simple meal. There’s no need for all this trouble.”
“No. You’re a member of the Landor family now, and I can’t let people look down on you,” Charlie said firmly.
Helpless, Susan could only let the servants dress her up in luxurious attire.
“These are gifts for your family. I’ll have a servant accompany you later to help carry them,” Charlie said, pointing to a pile of gifts in the living
room.
Penelope was shocked. “Dad, are you going to let her bring home so many presents?”
“You know nothing.” Charlie didn’t even look at Penelope, and he continued, “And the car is also very important.”
“Grandpa, there are so many cars in the garage. Any one is okay,” Susan said.
“No! That won’t do!” Charlie firmly denied it. “Just wait. I will let you return home with grace tonight.”

Seeing how spirited Charlie was, Susan thought for a while and didn’t refuse. She just smiled and responded, “Then I’ll follow your
arrangements, Grandpa.”
Soon, it was time for dinner. Charlie asked Susan to wait at the door in advance, saying that the driver would come to pick her up soon.
Susan then obediently waited at the door.
Before long, a silver–gray SSC Tuatara stopped at the door.
Susan was a little shocked. She had seen a lot of luxury cars, and she knew the price of an SSC Tuatara car was at least ten million dollars. The one parked at the door was even a limited edition, worth even more.
“Isn’t that a little over the top?” she thought.
When Susan was still lost in thought, the car window was rolled down, and she saw Ben look at her impatiently. “Go get in the car.”
“Ben?” Susan was surprised.
“Don’t misunderstand…” Ben said.
Susan stopped him, “Yes, I know. It was Grandpa who forced you to go with me.”
Ben didn’t say anything. Although it was true, why did he feel something wrong?
Smiling, Susan got into the passenger seat and turned to him, saying, “Thank you.”
“Why do you say ‘thank you‘ all the time?” Ben couldn’t help but say.
“I can’t help it. You’re just too kind,” Susan said.
Ben wanted to tell her not to praise him again.
But after thinking for a while, he decided to remain silent.
“There’s no point arguing with her,” he thought.
Seeing Susan coming back to the Miller residence together with Ben, the Miller family was obviously confused and did not know what to do,
Carl was the first to act. He greeted Ben warmly. “Mr. Landor, I didn’t expect that you’d come too. Susan, why didn’t you tell me in advance that Mr. Landor would come with you?!”
Susan was just about to speak when Ben said in a cold tone, “We are married. Is it strange that we come together?”
“No, absolutely not,” Carl hurriedly replied. “Dinner is ready. Susan,

please invite Mr. Landor to join us.”
Susan pulled Ben’s hand gently.
Ben showed her great respect and took a seat with her.
Except for the Miller family, Timothy was also present.
Originally, Carl was going to talk to Susan about something during dinner, but since Ben was also here, his plan had to be canceled.
Therefore, he didn’t say anything else, only asking Susan and Ben to taste different dishes.
Jane also kept serving food for Susan, acting like a loving mother.
Looking at her parents‘ loving faces, Susan felt a little warm inside. “Although they love Yana more, I’m not completely ignored, right?” Susan thought.
After dinner, Carl took Ben and Timothy to his study.
Therefore, only the ladies were left in the living room.
“Susan, you must be feeling very pleased today,” Yana said sarcastically.
“I’ll take that as your envy of me,” Susan replied nonchalantly.
“I envy you? You…” Yana wanted to retort, but Jane pulled her hand and then said softly, “Susan, your sister is young. Sometimes she speaks without thinking. Don’t take it personally.”
It was rare for Jane to say such things.
Susan felt warm and said, “Mom, it’s okay.”
“I know you are a good girl,” Jane said with a smile. “After all, you and Yana are sisters. A little conflict shouldn’t turn you into enemies, right?”
Susan also showed kindness and said, “Yana is always my sister.”
“I’m glad you think so.” A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on Jane’s face. “Now, Yana’s in a bit of trouble. Can you help her?”
“What is it?” Susan asked, a bit surprised.
Yana couldn’t help it anymore. She said, “Susan, you know, I’m going to get engaged to Timothy! I need some good jewelry right now. I think the ones you’re wearing are good. Can you lend them to me?”
But after borrowing them, she might not return them to Susan.
Susan was stunned for a while. She couldn’t believe Yana had her
eye on
her jewelry.

Susan said, “I’m just wearing them, but in fact, these belong to the Landor family. They’re not mine and I can’t lend them to you.”
“You’re wearing them, and that means they’re yours.” Jane said, “I think Ben treats you quite well. Susan, you should always remember it was your sister who gave you such a good marriage. Now that you’re doing so well, you should help her.”
“It was Yana who gave me this GOOD marriage?” Repeating that in her mind, Susan pursed her lips and became a little frustrated.
She suddenly felt that the warmth she had felt before was totally fake. “Did they really want to see me when they asked me to come home for dinner?” she thought.
Susan lowered her eyes and said indifferently, “I really can’t help with that. Given Timothy’s wealth, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to buy some jewels.”
“But I want the best ones.” Yana’s voice sharpened. “Susan, you competed with me deliberately at the auction! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come home with nothing.”
“Really?” Jane pretended to be surprised and said, “Susan, how could you do that? How about this, I’ll make the decision. Give all the jewels you bought at the auction to Yana, and I’ll make sure Yana won’t hold it against you.”
“Yes, I’ll forgive you if you give me the jewels.” With Jane on her side, Yana became arrogant.
