Authur and Beatrice exchanged startled glances when Lily calmly accepted their demand. Their brows furrowed in confusion.

“Young lady, we are the Collins Family. Do you think money is something we lack? Just state your price. Not matter how high, we can meet it,” Authur said firmly before turning to his daughter. “See, princess? Love is nothing compared to wealth.”

Ivy’s eyes welled up with tears as she stepped forward. “Sister–in–law, why? Why are you doing this? My brother loves you deeply…”

Beatrice crossed her arms, her voice sharp. “What more can you expect from a woman in the entertainment industry?”

Authur pressed again, “So, what is your price?”

Lily smiled softly, then turned to Ethan, gently brushing his hair back before placing a tender kiss on his forehead. “My price… is this man right here. This unconscious yet precious man is worth more to me than anything money can buy. He completes my world, and with him by my side, I need nothing else.”

She took a steady breath and turned back to face her in–laws. “Mr. and Mrs. Collins, this is my price. Are you willing to give him to me?”

The room fell into stunned silence. Everyone stared at Lily in disbelief. Authur and Beatrice exchanged another glance–and then, unexpectedly, they burst into laughter.

Lily, along with everyone else in the room, was left utterly baffled.

Through her laughter, Beatrice managed to speak. “Arthur, didn’t I tell you? Our daughter–in–law is incredibly clever. I said she’d give us this exact answer! You owe me now.”

Authur sighed dramatically, shaking his head. “Alright, alright. I admit defeat. You win.”

The confusion in the room only deepened.

Ivy stepped closer, her voice laced with curiosity and concern. “Mom? Dad? What are you two talking about? A bet? What bet?”
