Chapter 1296 Don’t Let Down The One Who Loves YouJanet’s revelation about the exorbitant price of the clothes left Carly’s grandmother stunned. She stared at her clothes in shock
and immediately thought of taking them off.
“Too... too expensive...” She gestured at the clothes in panic.
Carly frowned, sending Ja displeased stare. “Miss White, have you forgotten our deal? Why did you reveal the real cost of
the clothing?” Jlooked at her seriously. “Because I didn’t want your efforts to be looked over simply because of the
expense,” she said with a serious tone.
Carly and her grandmother were both stunned. With a small smile, Jexplained to the old woman, “The overall cost of the
clothes is expensive due to my design commission. Mrs. Reed spent a lot of thelping you find a suitable designer. The time
and money spent on it are all out of Mrs. Reed’s love for you.”
Carly’s grandmother was already about to take off the clothes. However, she hesitated upon Janet’s words.
Reminiscing about the past made Ja bit sentimental. She was touched while watching the two. “I also have someone in my
family who’s the sage as you. Her nis Hannah. She’s a kind woman and was always sacrificing for my sake. She would
rather use her money forrather than spend it on herself. However, her action madefeel uneasy.”
provide, I want the people I love to have a better life. I want to return her favor and show my love the way she did. [hope she can
accept my gratitude.” Jhad a solemn look on her face. Sincerity was obvious with every word she said.
The anger in Carly’s eyes dissipated, replaced by a layer of tears.
With a slight turn of her head, she casually wiped away the tears that formed in the corners of her eyes, then acted as if nothing
happened. What Jsaid resonated deep in her heart. Her grandma’s unwillingness to accept her kindness often made her
feel uncomfortable and guilty.
Carly’s grandmother listened intently to Janet’s sincere words, recalling the days when she and Carly relied on each other. A
relieved smile blossomed on her face. “Miss White, you’re right. This is Carly’s way to show her love for me, so ] should accept it
with an open heart.” She placed a hand on her chest and look at Carly affectionately.
Then, she leaned forward and hugged her granddaughter. “Thank you, Carly. I really like your gift,” she whispered.
Carly returned her grandmother’s hug. Her voice choked when she said,
“Grandma, I’m glad you like it. Please don’t turn down my gratitude in the future, okay?”
Carly’s grandmother nodded. The two shared an affectionate smile.
At the sight of this touching scene, Jsmiled knowingly.
Love cannot be measured by money, and material possessions should not undervalue its worth. Therefore, there is no reason to
reject an act of love in the form of gifts. Instead, such offerings should be wholeheartedly accepted.
Because they represented the painstaking efforts of the person who loved you deeply. After a while, the two had calmed down,
feeling much better than a moment ago. Feeling a bit bashful, Carly smiled and said, “Miss White, thank you for everything.”
Jshook her head. “I just don’t want your efforts to be hidden. Hannah was just as frugal and kind-hearted as your grandma. I
know exactly how you feel.”
Hearing this, Carly’s grandmother was suddenly reminded of the box of cookies from before. She couldn’t help but smile and
said, “Hannah is very skilled at baking. The cookies taste great, and I hope to have the chance to meet her someday.”
Carly chuckled, “My grandma still remembers the cookies. She said it reminded her of the countryside.”
Seeing how much they enjoyed Hannah’s cookies, Jcouldn’t help but laugh with pride. “Well, next tHannah makes
pastries, I’ll bring sfor you too,” she promised.
“Thank you.” Carly nodded and = smiled appreciatively.

They chatted for a few Carly had to go. She was just leaving when she caught a glimpse of a business card on the table. “This
man...” Carly picked up the business card. Her eyebrows furrowed subtly.
Janet’s curiosity rose when she noticed the sudden change in Carly’s expression. “What’s wrong? Do you know Mr. Shaw?”
With a snort, Carly said coldly, “I have no interest in knowing him. He’s a competitor I’ve disliked for a long time. I didn’t expect
him to cto you.
