Chapter 993

Vicky was imprisoned and fell ill. The whole process took about half a month. She did not expect Elijah's ex-fiance to

get married to someone else so quickly.

"I'm so sorry to hear that," she said.

After ruining others' engagement, she had nothing much to say apart from apologizing.

'My wedding with her was scheduled to be three months from now. I haven't had the chance to take her home and

my grandma hasn't had the chance to meet her yet," Elijah continued with his gaze resting on Vicky. "Once the

scandal about us started circulating, my grandma mistook you for my fiance and was satisfied with your

appearance. I'm wondering... I know this is far-fetched... But if you can act as my fiance for the time being..." He

paused and added," Considering my grandma's condition, she won't last another three months... So there probably

won't even be a wedding. Would it be too much to ask if you can help to entertain my family?"

Vicky parted her lips and was unable to reject the question.

She was the one who caused the engagement to get called off and the victim was asking her for help, so she could

not possibly reject it.

"Fear not, Ms. Shaw," Elijah said. "It'll just be a charade, and I would never lay a finger on you in any way."

Due to the news spreading around like wildfire, everyone assumed that Vicky was already his girlfriend.

Finding a new girlfriend within a short period of time was not as easy as he thought, especially considering the

conservative mindset of the older generation. It would be hard for them to accept that he had just made the news

with one woman, only to go and have another girlfriend right away.

Hence, Elijah had chosen not to clarify anything for the past few days.

Vicky looked at Elijah and said, "Mister Harrisons, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but... I still have a bunch of

personal issues to deal with, what if-"

Before Vicky could finish her sentence, Elijah interrupted her. "Ms. Shaw, please rest assured I will compensate you

sufficiently for this. If you have any requests, feel free to voice them." Elijah thought Vicky was asking for payment.

Vicky quickly explained, "Mister Harrisons, that's not what I meant-"

Before Vicky could finish, an abrupt ringtone interrupted her.

Elijah's phone was ringing and as soon as he answered the call, he heard the anxious voice of an old lady on the

other end. "When will my dearest granddaughter-in-law arrive?"

Elijah glanced at Vicky and replied warmly, "We're on our way back now. It'll take about half an hour before we

arrive."

"Very well, very well," the old lady said excitedly. "I'll have the kitchen prepare the meal." After a pause, she asked,"

Does she have any dietary restrictions or favorite dishes?" Elijah fell into a dilemma at this question.

He did not know Vicky well enough, certainly not as well as his former fiance, and he could not answer his

grandmother's question.

His grandmother, however, was no ordinary old lady and immediately understood what was going on. She angrily

exclaimed, "How can you be so careless about your own wife? Pass the phone to her right now. I want to talk to

her."

Elijah handed the phone to Vicky and said, "Grandma wants to speak with you." Vicky had no excuse to refuse the

phone call and reluctantly took the phone. "Hello, Old Madam Harrisons."

"Oh, hello there!" Old Madam Harrisons was clearly delighted by her voice. "My dearest granddaughter-in-law, I'm

preparing lunch for you right now. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I'll inform the kitchen immediately."

Though they had never met, Old Madam Harrisons' words warmed Vicky's heart.
