Chapter 80 Engagement
Melina was proud and naturally understood what Julianna meant.
Melina knew Edwin’s personality very well, and she could tell from Julianna’s words that Julianna was
competitive and proud.
Melina knew Edwin did something wrong.
Melina turned her head and looked at Julianna kindly. “Don’t worry, I will try to persuade Edwin.”
“Your grandfather expended all his energies to develop the Reece Group. I do not want the Reece Group
to be affected by any negative effects.”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye, Grandma.” Julianna sent Melina downstairs.
Then Julianna watched Melina leave.
Julianna let out a long sigh of relief, but she was still uneasy. She hoped Melina would succeed in
persuading Edwin.
As long as Edwin did not cause Julianna trouble secretly, Julianna was confident that she could manage
the Reece family well.
On the weekend.
Edwin returned to the Keaton family on time.
Every weekend, he would go back to be with Melina for dinner on time.

Edwin asked casually, “Grandma, did you go to see Julianna?”
“Yes,” Melina replied indifferently.
A while later.
Melina did not continue and Edwin could not help but ask, “Then what happened?”
“Nothing.”
Edwin nodded and took a sip of the ginseng soup. He had some doubts about what Melina said.
Seeing Edwin’s reaction, Melina suddenly sighed.
“The child is not yours. Don’t make things difficult for Julianna again.”
When Edwin heard this, he felt embarrassed.
The spoon in his hand fell into the bowl and made a “ding-dong” sound.
“How did you know this?”
“Julianna showed me the child’s birth certificate and paternity test.” Melina put down the forks.
“I have checked that the certificate is real. So, the child is not yours.”
In a flash
Edwin felt that his blood rushed to the top of his head. He was shocked and angry.
Julianna really betrayed me during the marriage.
Edwin couldn’t restrain his anger and wanted to get even with Julianna immediately.
Melina saw Edwin’s reaction and continued, “In doing business, we should put interests first and pay
attention to integrity.”
“Our family can grow so strong because we are honest. Apart from integrity, we must also be
benevolent and righteous.”
“Carsen expended all his energies on developing the Reece Group. Back then, when your grandfather
just sneaked into Philadelphia, he had nowhere to go and no relatives. It was Carsen who took your
grandfather in.”
“Your grandfather went through the hardest time with Carsen. You can’t forget his help to your
grandfather, and you should be grateful.”
“I don’t want the Reece family to go bankrupt.”
In the 1960s and 1970s, the country has not yet implemented reforms.
Many people came southward to pan for gold.
They smuggled from South Carolina and other regions to Philadelphia that had yet to return to the
motherland. Braden was one of the gold diggers at that time.
At that time, Philadelphia legislators made particularly strict laws for stowaways. If a woman was caught
smuggling, she would be sold as a prostitute. If a man was caught, he would be killed and thrown into
the sea.
Carsen was a local in Philadelphia. He had taken in Braden who had just arrived in Philadelphia.
After more than 40 years of hard work, the Keaton family became the richest family in Philadelphia.
Therefore, after Braden became rich, he has been helping the Reece family. And then the Reece family
was able to be rich.
“You should be generous with Julianna. It is difficult for her to bring three children.”
“I do not want you to interfere in the Reece family’s business again. And you can’t secretly suppress
the Reece family.”
When Edwin heard this, he paused for a few seconds. “OK, Grandma.”
Melina finished her dinner. She stood up and was about to leave the dining room. She said, “You will be
engaged to Katelyn next month. Stop pestering Julianna.”

married and have a baby.”
to get
“I’m very old and don’t have much time left. Before I die, all I want is to see you get married and
have children.”
When Edwin heard this, he was upset. “You’ll definitely see it. You’ll live a long time.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Find a time to call Katelyn’s parents to discuss your engagement with her.”
“Anything you say.”
Melina snorted coldly and said, “I will arrange it for you. Don’t cause any trouble.”
“Yes.”
At night
Melina called Dexter and invited him and Shayla to come to the Keaton’s home to discuss Edwin’s
engagement with Katelyn.
After the call was over.
“Great!” Shayla was very happy. “Mrs. Melina just called me and asked me and your father to go. over to
talk about your engagement.”
“Oh, thank goodness, your engagement is finally back on the agenda.”
“Kate, you must take this opportunity to marry Edwin.”
When Katelyn heard this, although she smiled, she was upset.
She could clearly feel that Edwin didn’t love her anymore.
Even if Katelyn married Edwin, he would never love her again.
