The two happy couples had dinner at Nigel's house. The evening was filled with laughter and joy.

After dinner, the servants cleared the table. In front of the most important witnesses, Ryan instructed Yasmin to take out a thick stack of documents from a briefcase and lay them one by one in front of Nigel. The table was covered with red-tinted documents, resembling a giant red tablecloth! Yet, these were just the tip of the iceberg. Despite being accustomed to grandeur, the thickness of the domestic property deeds alone made Bella exclaim in wonder.

"Don't be envious," Justin said, squinting his eyes and firmly interlocking his fingers with hers under the table, his voice low and soft. "What he has, I have too. Mine is no less than his."

"Hmph. Even if you two combine what you have, it's not even a tenth of my dad's wealth. What's there to be envious of?" Bella retorted. Her eyes betrayed her joy, brimming with sweetness. "It's just the first time I've seen someone lay it all out like they're setting up a stall."

Justin gazed at the stunning expression on Bella's face, frowning with a bitter smile. He immediately wanted to kick himself for showing off in front of the daughter of Hatchbay's richest man. He must have lost his mind.

"Ryan, what's this for?" Nigel blinked, feigning ignorance.

Ryan smiled with joy while holding Carrie's hand. "Grandpa Nigel, these are the betrothal gifts I've prepared for Carrie, but this is just what I have domestically. I also have some properties overseas, but I haven't had time to sort them out. I will do my best to organize them for your review."
