Over a dozen bodyguards each carried a box.

The contents of those boxes, displayed before everyone, were either jewelry of inestimable value or shops and properties in Clance that were difficult to purchase.

Each wedding gift was enough to incite envy.

Even these wealthy people couldn’t help but sigh at the Horton family’s generous dowry.

People looked on with admiration and then craned their necks to see if they could get a glimpse of this mysterious Mr. Horton.

Following the long procession of gifts was a man in a

suit.

He was tall and well-built, with a happy, handsome face and a slightly infuriating smile…

“Is this Mr. Horton? He looks quite imposing!”

“Not bad-looking at all.”

“It’s just that he doesn’t quite match the stories we’ve

heard…”

Hearing the surrounding conversation, Keira couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

The man who had arrived wasn’t Lewis but Tom!

That man made such a big show, yet he didn’t show up in person?

She pursed her lips.

By then, Tom had already approached Uncle Olsen and respectfully began. “Uncle Olsen, Mr. Horton has another very important matter and can’t make an appearance, so he specially sent me to deliver the betrothal gifts from the Horton and Olsen families.”

Uncle Olsen glanced at Keira.

He certainly knew what that “very important” matter. Lewis had was being Keira’s driver!

He twitched his mouth and only said, “That’s very

considerate of him.” novelbin

“To marry the daughter of the Olsen family, one

certainly must put in some effort!”

Tom smiled ingratiatingly and then looked toward Keira, raising his eyebrows as a greeting.

If Lewis could guess Keira’s identity, Tom, as Lewis’s assistant, surely could see through it as well…

Keira returned his greeting with a roll of her eyes.

Immediately, Tom laughed.

He was genuinely happy.

When Keira died, Mr. Horton looked as if he was going to follow her to the grave!

Thankfully, the lady didn’t die, and Mr. Horton also got his life back as a result!

He was thinking of this when the people around suddenly realized that this unremarkable man wasn’t Mr. Horton, but Mr. Horton’s assistant.

The wedding gifts were placed aside one by one.

No one cared about the food anymore; they immediately went over to take a closer look.

Some even looked toward Victoria. “Miss Olsen, come quickly to see your dowry!”

Victoria blushed and then stood up.

She felt she had finally reclaimed some ground.

Just now, after Keera was introduced, the seven

brothers gave her so many gifts that the way everyone looked at her made it seem like she was losing favor in the Olsen family!

But now, the dowry from the Horton family was even more than what the seven brothers had given Keera

combined!

“Heavens! There are even shares of the Horton Group inside – fifteen percent!”

“I heard that the first and second branches of the

Horton Group were competing fiercely, and Mr. Horton just gave away fifteen percent of the shares as a betrothal gift to Miss Olsen. He must be really

serious!”

“Although it’s a second marriage for Mr. Horton, he’s really treating Miss Olsen nicely!”

When Victoria heard about the fifteen percent of the shares, she was also astonished, and her eyes widened. She had never imagined that Lewis’s determination to

marry her was this atronal

There had been no response from the Horton family before, and she thought the marriage was off!

She started to smile.

Someone beside her began to speak.

“Miss Olsen, your betrothal gift is truly the talk of Clance!”

“Right, the Horton family is so sincere. The Olsen family must also be preparing a generous dowry. The biggest beneficiary of this marriage alliance turns out to be Miss Olsen!”

While a group of people were offering Victoria their congratulations, Joseph’s daughter turned to Keera with a sneer. “See that? This is the scale on which the Olsen family marries off a daughter! Keera, what did Howard give you when you got married?”

After her mocking words, Victoria revealed a smug smile at the corner of her lips.

She immediately said, “Don’t say that. Keera wasn’t acknowledged back then, so of course, she wasn’t treated well. Uncle Olsen, if Keera remarries Howard,

or if she marries someone else in the future, we must make up for her dowry…”

Her insincere words made Keira scoff.

Uncle Olsen also raised an eyebrow.

Ellis, standing nearby, caught the insinuations in the

conversation.

James, being a straightforward man, took it seriously and immediately nodded. “Right, right, Uncle Olsen, we still need to prepare some assets for Keera!”

Charles also nodded. “Keera, don’t remarry that Howard. Clance has plenty of eligible bachelors. If we can’t find a top-tier tycoon, we can still find someone decent. We’ll add to your dowry then!”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Victoria, feigning concern, spoke again. “Keera, why aren’t you speaking? Are you unhappy? If so, I could share half of the Horton family’s betrothal gifts with

you…”

At these words, Joseph’s daughter immediately said, “Miss Victoria, those are the Horton family’s betrothal gifts. How can you share them? You’re spoiling her too

O

J

much!”

Tom also furrowed his brows. “Exactly, why would you get to take half?”

Victoria hurriedly explained, “It’s not like that. My sister has just been reunited with the family, and as her older sister, I ought to give a greeting present…

As soon as she finished speaking, Tom scoffed. “Then give from your own things. Taking half of Miss Keera’s betrothal gifts and giving them to her? What does that mean? Even making a gesture of borrowed offerings should be done right, shouldn’t it?”

Victoria was confused.

She was a bit dumbfounded. “What do you mean… Miss Keera’s betrothal gifts?”

Joseph’s daughter was also stunned, pointing incredulously at the betrothal gifts. “Aren’t these the betrothal gifts given by the Horton family for proposing to the Olsen family? The unmarried daughter of the Olsen family is Victoria!”

Tom was equally bewildered, but then pointed at Keira, saying, “You’ve got it all wrong! The gifts from the

Horton family is for Miss Keera Olsen!”

川

O

Since Keera was recognized by her family, she

naturally took the surname.

With that, she became Keera Olsen.

Therefore, everyone understood what Tom meant!

Victoria was stunned, her voice becoming shrill. “What are you saying?”

Joseph’s daughter was in disbelief, glaring at them. “Sir, do you even know what you are talking about? Keera has been married before! She even has a daughter! Have you made a mistake?”

It was only then that Tom finally understood their

meaning and glanced at Keira.

He realized why his boss had made such a grand gesture of betrothal, which was to establish his wife’s

position!

With a sneer, he clarified. “Let’s make this clear! Mr. Horton is also entering a second marriage, and he and Miss Keera Olsen are truly a match made in heaven!

Today, knowing that Miss Keera has returned to her family, we’ve come especially to present the betrothal gifts! Only a biological daughter of Uncle Olsen is fit to

be the lady of the Horton family! What right does on

adopted daughter have to marry Mr. Horton?” 2
