Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 468 The Gifts

Patricia felt a surge of joy in her heart. She said, "I think the same way, Irene."

Elaine was delighted when Violeta addressed her as a sister-in-law.

She had prepared a gift in advance. At this time, she took it out of her bag and handed it to Violeta. "Here, Vio."

Violeta said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Irene was relieved that her eldest son had finally found someone.

She even indulged in a bit more wine at the dinner table.

Since everything was out in the open, given the close relationship between the two families, they openly discussed the wedding plans.

The Cohens weren't a wealthy family, but they had some background.

The Whites, on the other hand, wanted to ensure everything was done with proper etiquette when their son was getting married.

The Cohens didn't demand much, but the Whites made sure to be respectful in their preparations.

While they were discussing, Violeta's mind wandered.

She remembered that this grand wedding had made the news because of the extravagant wedding gift, which was a staggering 45 million dollars. This time, as the daughter of the Whites, she not only heard about it firsthand but also got to participate in her brother's wedding planning. The feeling was truly surreal.

The next day, several families went to the Frosts' house to celebrate the new year and play poker.

When Violeta arrived with her family, the others were already there.

She greeted the elders one by one.
