It was as if she had found herself a haven.
"Do you know what’s in this box?" Joanna Lawrence waved the box in front of him.
Ashton Heath shook his head, "I don’t know. This is a gift from grandma for you, only she knows what’s inside."
Overwhelmed with curiosity, Joanna couldn’t wait until they got home and opened the box on the spot.
She knew Madam Heath would be generous.
Whatever gift she would give must be valuable.
But when she saw a few land property deeds inside the box, she was astonished.
Looking at the deeds that mentioned various gold-ranked properties, houses, and shops, she stared in disbelief for quite a while before slowly lifting her head.
The shock in her eyes had not yet faded, and her heart couldn’t calm down for a long time, beating extremely fast: "Are these deed transfer documents?"
Ashton glanced at them and nonchalantly said: "Yes, these must have been prepared by grandma in advance. The properties mentioned here are all meant to be given to you. Give me your documents tomorrow, and I will have someone start the transfer procedures."
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
Her eyes were wide open, like bells, and she swallowed hard, too excited to speak: "Gifted, gifted to me?"
"All, all of it is for me?"
Joanna felt like she was about to faint.
This was too stimulating.
Madam Heath hadn’t been just generous.
She was literally gifting her mountains of gold and silver, guaranteeing a worry-free life for several lifetimes.
She was like a living Wealth God!
Any location listed on the property deeds was worth tens of millions of dollars.
Combined, they amounted to several hundred million dollars.
A gift worth several hundred million dollars, she felt a jolt as if she was about to have a heart attack.
Her hand holding the wooden box trembled violently.
The feeling was surreal, like a dream.
"I can’t accept this, the gift is too valuable..." Joanna Lawrence took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but her excitement made it impossible, "I can’t accept something so valuable."
"Since Grandma has given it to you, you should accept it."
Ashton looked at her flushed face, kissed her lips, took the wooden box from her hand, closed it, and put it aside. He patted her head, "Now you are Mrs. Ashton, no gift is too valuable for you."
"Moreover, this is a tradition in our family. Every new daughter-in-law gets a share. If only you didn’t, wouldn’t it mean that our family doesn’t accept you?"
Since he said so, Joanna stopped refusing.
Instantly becoming a billionaire, she felt rather gratified deep down.
However, when it comes to the Heaths accepting her, it was clear that Madam Heath did.
What about Lady Octavia...
Joanna was a sensitive person, so she could tell whether Lady Octavia liked her or not.
It seemed Ashton too was thinking along the same lines. After a brief pause, he softly said, "Don’t worry about my mom. I will talk to her. If you don’t like going back, we can go less frequently."
Joanna immediately shook her head: "I don’t have any complaints about mom. Besides, didn’t you say Brandon is also rarely at home? If we too don’t visit for weeks at a time, Grandma and others would be heartbroken."
