Chapter 619

Two blissfully enamored couples shared their dinner amidst the hearty laughter and joyous banter at Hamilton’s house, a scene of perfect harmony.

After the meal, the housekeeper tidied the table.

In front of the most important witnesses, Jareth instructed Lily to retrieve a hefty stack of documents from a briefcase, spreading them reverently before Hamilton until the round table was covered in red, resembling a festive tablecloth.

Yet, this was only the tip of the iceberg!

The sheer volume of the domestic property deeds alone was enough to draw an astonished whistle from Evadne, who was no stranger to grandeur.

“Don’t be envious.”

Thaddeus, his eyes narrowing with affection under the table, intertwined his fingers with hers, his voice a soft whisper, “Whatever he has, I have too. And mine is no less than his.”

“Hmph, what you and he have combined wouldn’t even match a tenth of Emeric’s fortune. What do I have to be envious of?”

Though Evadne’s words were indifferent, the sweet ripple of joy in her eyes betrayed her inner delight, “It’s just the first time I’ve seen someone lay it all out like this-it’s like setting up a market stall.”

Thaddeus gazed at his lady’s stunning features, frowning with a bittersweet smile.

He immediately wished he could kick himself.

Trying to impress in front of the heiress of the Fairhaven fortune, he felt as if his brain had just been scooped up from his heels.

“Jareth, what is all this?” Hamilton blinked, feigning ignorance.

Jareth, holding Marilla’s hand, his eyes brimming with joy, said, “Grandpa, this is the wedding gift I’ve prepared for Marilla, but this is just the domestic part. I also have assets in the country and Aetheria, but I haven’t managed to organize them yet. I’ll do my best to sort them out and present them to you.”

Marilla’s cheeks blushed redder than the property deeds on the table, her delicate hand moistened by the man’s sweaty grasp, her happiness shining through her eyes.

Hamilton wasn’t a heartless tycoon trading his granddaughter; he had already prepared a generous gift for her and didn’t lack his contribution.
