Chapter 168: Someone as respected as a patriarch himself?

But now, when she added his terminal illness into this equation, everything that happened didn't look that complex anymore. 

Maybe her grandfather wanted to celebrate his possibly last birthday with his only granddaughter. 

As it was obvious that she wouldn't have come to country Z just to celebrate his birthday, he must have shifted the whole event to Country A where she was staying. 

Her grandfather is a possessive and dictating person. 

But his feelings for his granddaughter are genuine. It was just that he wanted her to listen to him which she did not. 

If she was favorable enough, he would have really made her the queen of the whole country Z. 

And, it's been years since the topic of the marriage alliance between Xander family and Keller family was brought up. 

But because of Edmund and some or other reasons, she was able to stall everything for years.
