20: Chapter 20: I will take good care of you two, Joanna and your brother 20: Chapter 20: I will take good care of you two, Joanna and your brother He even felt quite relieved.
His brother-in-law, Ashton Heath, was far better in every aspect than David Benington.
David didn’t know how to cherish Jeremy’s sister, Joanna Lawrence, but now there was soone who would.
In the future, he would definitely regret it!
Jeremy carefully called out, “Brother-in-law.”
Ashton was very pleased with this greeting.
He took off his watch and handed it to Jeremy.
“I decided to co here on a whim today, so I didn’t have ti to prepare anything.
Please accept this as a token of my regard.”
When Jeremy saw the watch, he gasped in surprise.
It was a Patek Philippe diamond chanical watch worth over two million dollars.
He casually gave away a gift worth several million dollars?
How rich was his brother-in-law?
Joanna was also taken aback.
“No, no, this watch is too expensive.
Jeremy can’t accept it.”
“If I say he can accept it, he can accept it.” Ashton stuffed the watch into Jeremy’s hand, his sharp and deep black eyes narrowing.
He spoke in a decisive, commanding tone, “I have never taken back a gift I’ve given.
You can do whatever you want with it.”
Jeremy was intimidated by his aura.
He didn’t dare to refuse but felt the gift was too valuable, so valuable that he didn’t dare to accept it casually.
“Sis…” He could only look to Joanna for help with pleading eyes.
At that mont, Ashton’s phone suddenly rang.
He took it out, glanced at it, and answered.
A few seconds later, he hung up.
“There’s a small issue at the company that I need to handle.” He spoke to Joanna, “Let’s have dinner together tonight.
I’ll have the driver co pick you up later.”
Then he turned to Jeremy: “Rest well and recover.
In the future, know that I will take care of you both.”
They didn’t realize how valuable Ashton’s promise was.
They also didn’t know what it ant for a man who stood at the peak of power to give such a promise.

Ashton left soon after.
Jeremy curiously looked at the expensive watch in his hand.
“Sis, who exactly is my brother-in-law?
Is he very rich?”
Even David could not casually give a watch worth over two million dollars as a gift.
“Yeah, he’s quite rich.”
The Heath family, at the top of Closia’s influential elite, was extraordinarily wealthy.
Their wealth wasn’t ordinary.
“This watch…” Jeremy struggled, unsure of how to handle the situation.
“Give it to .” Joanna thought for a mont and reached out her hand.
“The watch is too valuable; we cannot accept it.
I’ll find a way to return it.”
Jeremy nodded and handed her the watch.
It really was too valuable of a present.
Even if he accepted it, he wouldn’t be able to use it.
He had to give it back.
“Sis, how did you et my brother-in-law?
How long have you been dating?” Jeremy was full of curiosity about his handso and generous new brother-in-law.
Joanna was peeling fruit for him.
Upon hearing his question, she hesitated before handing him a piece of sliced apple.
“Jeremy, he and I…
we’re married.”
Jeremy stared at her in shock.
“You’re married?!”
“Yes.”
“When did this happen?”
“Today.
We got our marriage certificate before coming to see you.”
She initially wanted to hide it from Jeremy, but since Ashton had no plans for a secret marriage, she couldn’t keep it from him any longer.
“Cough, cough, cough.” Jeremy was choked by his own saliva.
He found it incredible, like sothing out of a fairy tale.
