Grandmother Brown whose eyes never left Veronica from the start of the party, slowly walked towards her and asked in a shaky voice, "Do you now remember this old lady, my child?"
Veronica looked at the wrinkled lady who still had an elegance in her posture even in her old age and smiled at her genuinely before saying, "Yes, grandma. Now I remember you. I hope you're doing well."
"Yes, my child. I'm fine." Grandma Brown returned the smile as Alonzo held her shoulder tightly.
Myra too came to her family and side-hugged her grandmother when Veronica said, "Wait grandma. Let me introduce you to my fiance."
"Honey, she is Myra's grandmother. Remember, I told you about meeting her in city B. We even met her at Brown Corporation's inauguration party. " Veronica said as she purposefully omitted to take Alonzo's name in her mouth.
Reuben smiled politely at her and said, "Hello grandmother, I'm Reuben. You still look so beautiful. If you'd been ten or twenty years younger then I'd have proposed you instead of her."
He joked pointing towards Veronica who punched his shoulder playfully which earned a chuckle from everyone.
Although Elder Brown wanted Veronica to be her granddaughter-in-law by marrying her off to Alonzo. But she was happy to see Veronica glowing under the effect of Reuben's love.
Truthfully, she was shocked at first when she saw them together. But she wasn't angry on her at all for ditching her grandson because Alonzo had already told her the truth about their misunderstanding, skipping the part of his father being the villain of their lives and as he didn't want his grandmother to fell sick..
Alonzo also didn't tell her about Veronica's relationship with Reuben so she was also unknown about this truth.
Grandma Brown was just disheartened with the fact that she was just daydreaming about the relationship of Alonzo and Veronica. Still she had a hope that these two would have somewhere in future turn into a couple.
However, that dream got broken miserably when she saw the video of Reuben and Veronica's sweet moments, then Reuben's romantic proposal.
She could clearly identify the love in their eyes..!!
She was not selfish like her son. That's why, seeing Veronica happy with the love of her life, also made her pray to God to give them all the blessings.
Whereas talking about the couple, they had been always taught to respect elders. So though she was Alonzo's grandmother, they didn't forget their morality and good teachings.
After talking to her, Reuben held Veronica's waist and told Mr. Brown and Mr. Parker, "I hope you didn't forget about tomorrow's meeting. We'll expect you both along with your whole families."
Mr. Brown was happy to get an invitation personally from Reuben as he gloated happily, "Yes, yes.. We do remember it. Don't worry, we'll arrive there in time."
Reuben nodded his head curtly while Veronica said to the elder lady, "Grandma, please have something you like. We've to greet other guests to."
"Please excuse us." Reuben said and left with Veronica.
At that moment, Jack came towards them when Myra introduced him to her family, "Mom, dad, grandma, brother.. He's Jack, my boyfriend. We've recently started dating. He's Veronica's cousin also and works in Lopez Industries."
Hearing that Jack was the relatives of Lopez family, Mr. Brown's smile widened and he shook Jack's hand while complimenting him, "You're such a handsome boy. I'm happy that you choose our Myra as your girlfriend."
Though Jack didn't like the way of Mr. Brown addressing Myra but he didn't want to offend his would be father-in-law in his first meeting.
So he said, "No, Mr. Brown. Actually, I'm the lucky one here to get her as my girlfriend."
Alonzo who had never liked any boy near his sister, was first time impressed by someone who was capable to treat his sister like a queen.
Whereas Cole was raging like a burning lava when he heard Myra introducing Jack as her boyfriend.
And right at that moment, he remembered that Jack was the same person who verified the qualities of his company's materials in Lopez Industries..
"Please come to Alonzo's home before we leave for city B again." Mrs. Brown said happily.
"Sure.." Jack smiled and excused himself from them while Myra followed him.

Amelia who was observing Henry being touchy with Lucinda, got jealous and greeted them with a menacing attitude, "Hey guys.. How are you both?"
Lucinda gripped Henry's hand more tightly whereas Henry meekly smiled at Amelia and replied, "We are good, enjoying our couple time together."
Amelia seethed in anger but didn't show it on her face and kept her right hand on Henry's arm, saying, "If you have some free time, then can we go for lunch sometime?"
Henry who was not expecting this, moved away from Amelia's touch which made her smile faltered and brought a grin on Lucinda's lips, said, "Of course! We can go whenever Lucy will be free."
This was enough of an insult for Amelia as she glared at Lucinda who was chuckling at her and beamed before hugging Lucinda as she whispered in her ears threateningly, "Enjoy this as much as possible for few more days. Because I've returned here to take back exactly what is mine."
At first, Lucinda was a little scared with Amelia's threat but when she thought about Henry and how much he meant to her that she couldn't live her life without him, she got the much needed encourage to face the evil Amelia.
Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and with a confident tone she whispered back in Amelia's ears devilishly, "Try as much as you want, Amy! But this time, I won't let you win. My love for Henry is enough to protect our relationship from your evil clutch…
I'm not the same Lucinda anymore who would cry over your false alarms. Time had changed me into a strong woman who will not even think twice to slap you hard to protect my lovelife."
