“Father,” Jillian walked out of the room, and Aaron hastily rushed to her side. “Minnie, you are still unwell, rest first.”“It’s okay, Father,” Jillian smiled. “I’ve never felt so energetic like this for so long.”“Minnie,” Aaron felt truly joyful. “Come, let’s say thanks to your doctor.”Jillian stepped forward, blushing shyly. “Thank you for healing me.”“You’re welcome.”Aaron took out two sets of keys and respectfully handed them to Richard.One set was the key to the limited edition of the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which was worth $ 20 million.The other set was the key to a mansion, which was worth $ 500 million.Richard had rejected them once, but now Aaron thought it was the right time.“This is a small token of thanks. I know it’s nothing much to you, but please accept it. I hope you don’t find it lacking.”Julia and Caleb were once again stunned by the scene.The amount was far beyond the usual consultation fee.And Aaron was showing an excessive level of

“Are you certain you want us to dine at your place, Sabrina?” Carter inquired.“Why don’t we consider Vantican First Restaurant instead? It’s on me.”“I appreciate it, but I’m really not feeling up to it. You know what’s been troubling me,” Sabrina sighed.“Don’t worry about it. My dad is already working his connections. He’ll inform me if there’s any positive news about Windsor Enterprise.”Carter moved closer, trying to putt an arm around her waist for comfort.All of a sudden, Laura let out a scream as if she’d seen a ghost.“Holy cow!”“What’s going on?” Sabrina rushed to Laura’s side.Carter dropped his arm and frowned.“I swear I just saw Richard in that luxury car that passed by. Am I seeing things?” Laura asked, staring at the car in disbelief.Or maybe it was just someone who resembled Richard?She wasn’t sure.“You must be joking!” Carter scoffed, shaking his head. “Didn’t you notice the license plate?”“But—”“That car clearly belongs to someone wealthy or significant.

Richard stepped into the store while Aaron waited by the entrance.As soon as Richard entered, the cold air greeted him, and the exquisite jewelry immediately caught his attention.The store was lavishly decorated, from the ceiling to the walls."Let’s choose the most expensive piece here for Sabrina," he thought, eyes sweeping over the glittering jewels."Would she prefer emerald, or diamonds?" he mused, his gaze drifting over the dazzling array of gems.Even the least expensive earrings at Elegance & Co were priced above $10,000, and Richard was certain Sabrina would be amazed.She would be thrilled to receive the gift, along with the invitation to the banquet.Meanwhile, at the other end of the store, a young woman was browsing jewelry, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a noticeable belly.The woman stood beside him, admiring the pieces in the display case."Timothy, baby, don’t you think I’d look stunning in these earrings?" she nudged the man. "Will you buy them for me, sweet

"Sir, please—" the sales representative attempted to intervene."You must remove this poor fool immediately! He’s ruining our shopping experience, and I won’t tolerate it," the man insisted.Bianca crossed her arms, watching the situation unfold with a smug expression, her head held high, exuding arrogance and confidence.The sales representative was caught in a difficult position.She didn’t want to choose sides.What could she do?If she followed the man’s orders, she’d be driving away a customer.Yet, she didn’t want to upset the old man either.She spoke into the intercom, saying, "Mr. John, we have a bit of a situation here. Could you come quickly, please?"Within a minute, a man with a stern expression appeared...John Brown, the store’s sales manager, had arrived."Mr. Timothy!"John exclaimed, immediately recognizing the middle-aged man, a regular customer.He bowed respectfully."It’s an honor, sir. How may I assist you?"The man pointed accusingly at the sales representative

Aaron was already aware of what had transpired before entering the store, and he was furious.How dare anyone show such disrespect to his Young Master and his daughter’s savior!If Richard blamed him for John’s incompetence, all the effort Aaron had put into building a good reputation and trying to earn Richard’s favor would be for nothing.Aaron felt an overwhelming urge to punish John—this useless troublemaker had only caused problems!He deserved to be dealt with harshly.With these thoughts in mind, Aaron immediately ordered his bodyguards to escort the middle-aged man and his arrogant mistress out of the store."I don’t ever want to see them in this store again!" Aaron warned.As John watched, the color drained from his face, and his eyes filled with fear.He looked like a terrified chicken as he cowered in a corner."Where is that incompetent manager? Come out here this instant!"John crawled out from where he had been hiding in the corner and fell flat on his knees."Sir, I—I’m

Once they were gone, Aaron turned to the sales representative and commanded, "Pack that necklace and bring it here. Hurry up.""Yes, Sir. I’ll do it right away," the sales representative responded, not daring to hesitate as she rushed to follow his orders.Meanwhile, Aaron leaned closer to Richard and whispered apologetically, "Please accept the necklace as a gift. It’s on the house, and I sincerely apologize for my staff’s behavior. I hope you’ll take it, so I can have some peace of mind tonight."After a brief pause, Richard nodded."Alright."Aaron sighed in relief when Richard accepted the gift.This either meant that Richard wasn’t angry with him anymore or that he had been forgiven.Phew! Thank goodness!The sales representative returned, holding the wrapped necklace.To everyone's surprise, instead of handing the package to Aaron, she respectfully presented it to Richard with a deep bow."Sir, is this to your satisfaction?" she asked, keeping her head lowered.Richard nodded as

“What’s in the gift?”Laura asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity as she glanced at the neatly wrapped package.Sabrina hesitated for a moment, then carefully untied the ribbon.“Oh wow! It’s an emerald necklace, from Timeless Beauty!” she gasped, clearly surprised by the luxurious gift.Sabrina’s excitement was quickly replaced by a hint of discomfort.“This looks really expensive,” she said quietly, unsure how to feel about it.The intricate design and fine detail made it clear—this wasn’t just any piece of jewelry.Carter had already gone to great lengths to arrange the banquet invitations, and now his father had sent such an extravagant gift.It felt a little overwhelming.But before Sabrina could express her concerns, Carter smiled confidently, as if he had anticipated the entire situation."That necklace was made just for you," he said, flashing his brightest smile, though a flicker of uncertainty crossed his face.Carter hadn’t asked his father to send the gift, but he did i

Richard turned to Sabrina."Why don’t you confirm with Carter if his father really sent the gifts?"Sabrina, her brow furrowing in confusion."What are you talking about? Of course, it’s Carter helping me out."She couldn’t fathom the idea that anyone other than Carter would send such luxurious gifts."Didn’t you receive an emerald necklace from Timeless Beauty and three invitation cards?"Richard questioned.Sabrina felt a chill run through her.How could Richard possibly know what was inside her gift?He had just returned, and the gift was already sealed.The necklace, the three cards—had he somehow read her mind?Or, even more unsettling, had he been right all along?Was Carter’s father really not behind these lavish gifts?Before Sabrina could find her voice, Laura cut through the silence, her words dripping with disdain."Oh, please! We’re not idiots, Richard. You’re just jealous of Carter because you can’t even come close to his success."Richard chuckled at the accusation.Even
