Chapter 900: Discussing the Wedding Date

With a smile in her eyes, Alina sat gracefully at the chessboard.

Ian and Warren were seated at the main seats, with Ruud positioned slightly forward near Warren. Ian calmly instructed the servants to prepare fine tea and pastries. Given the years of friendship between him and Warren, especially now that they were discussing their children, there was no reason to neglect hospitality.

Warren's face lit up with a cheerful smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes spreading like open fans. His tone was joyful yet solemn. "Ian, I came today to discuss Alina and Ruud's wedding. I was thinking we could hold it within the week and pick an auspicious date."

Ian, who in the past might have argued with Warren at every meeting, nodded seriously this time. "Alina has been with the Pace family for some time now. The wedding indeed should not be delayed. But let me make this clear-if she suffers even a shred of grievance after marriage, I'll take her back home anytime!"

Ruud immediately stepped forward, his voice firm and full of emotion. "Dad, I will cherish Alina with all my heart! Not just you-even I wouldn't allow her to suffer the slightest grievance. If she ever does, you can come over with a knife, and I won't utter a word in protest!"

Ian said no more, knowing Ruud didn't dare to make empty promises. If not for Alina's deep affection for him, Ian might have kept his daughter and granddaughter by his side longer.

Warren stroked his white beard, his voice warm. "Alina has been nothing but happy with us. I treat her like my own daughter. Here's the bride price list."

He handed Ian a neatly written list, encouraging him to review it. "This is the bride price from the Pace family for Alina. Please take a look. If anything is unsatisfactory, we can add to it."

As the head of the prominent Brookes family, Ian wasn't overly concerned with such matters. He didn't even need to look; he already knew it wouldn't fall short.

Ruud respectfully added, "In addition to the bride price I mentioned when I proposed at the Brookes family-$1 billion, ten houses, ten cars, ten plots of suburban land, one hundred sets of jewelry, and one hundred outfits-we've also added one hundred antique pieces."

Ian, aware of how highly the Pace family valued Alina, closed his eyes briefly and tapped the table with his fingers. "The Brookes family will prepare a dowry for Alina consisting of fifty properties in Clearwater, fifty vehicles, investments from several of our profitable family businesses, and $2 billion."
