Chapter 311:

That evening, Belinda arrived at the Clark family’s residence accompanied by Kenia, Holley, and Sarai.

“Harold, these are just small gifts I prepared for you—a token of my respect,” Kenia said, gesturing to the neatly arranged items on the table.

Harold smiled warmly. “You’re too kind, Kenia. There’s no need for such formalities between us. We are family. Please, have a seat.”
