Chapter 89 Sense of Formality

Puzzled, Claire opened the folder to find it was filled with property

transfer agreements as well as share transfer agreements. The total net worth of everything being transferred was in the billions.

She immediately had a feeling that Sean intended to knock her out with

expensive gifts.

“Oh, no!”

She shoved the folder back into Sean’s hands. “It’s not about the money, Sir. There should be a sense of formality and pomp, right?”

Sean held rather old–fashioned beliefs when it came to that.

Among the Vanderbilts, marriages started with the exchange of promises, and then an engagement party before the wedding. That had been the tradition for

centuries.

Moreover, the women who wanted to marry a Vanderbilt were so obsessed wi their dream that they did not care about anything ceremonial.

As long as they could marry a Vanderbilt, they were fine even if the wedding were just going over to a county clerk’s office for registration.

What Sean was giving Claire would be considered betrothal gifts, but Claire evidently did not care for them.

“No way! I haven’t said yes yet!”

As soon as Claire said that, her phone started buzzing. It was a call from

Mr. Smith.

Her heart sank.

She suddenly remembered something she had forgotten about.

She snuck a glance at Sean before answering the call as softly as she possibly could. “Mr. Smith.”

Mr. Smith’s fawning voice echoed from the phone. “We’ll be having our wrap party tonight at The Regalia. Have you … asked Mr. Vanderbilt about it?
