True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 262 Generous Gifts

After Benjamin and Derek left, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off their hearts. Superstitions were only as powerful as the belief people placed in them, yet the unsettling prophecy lingered in their minds. With less than twenty days until the eighth, the countdown to the wedding had taken on a sense of urgency. Their priority was to ensure a smooth and safe ceremony, free from any unforeseen circumstances. Back home, wedding preparations began in earnest.

Two days later, Joyce came home. Before long, the two families began to interact frequently.

To ensure the wedding's safety, the venue was set at the Winters Mansion. They only invited their closest relatives and friends.

The wedding preparations proceeded in an orderly manner. Every day, Joyce found herself swept away by a tide of gifts, dress fittings, and joyous anticipation. According to local customs, the bride and groom are not allowed to see each other three days before the wedding, so Joyce was taken back home by Benjamin.

The Taylor Family also came over from City C, and Beatrice and Alan simply stayed at the Blackwood Mansion.

Surrounded by the love and support of her family, Joyce felt a profound sense of gratitude.

The room was piled high with gifts, some from Benjamin and some from the Winters Family. Every gift was filled with love.

Sophia pushed the door open and was stunned by the sight. "My God! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become a rich woman. These things must be worth a few hundred million dollars, right?"

Joyce looked at her with a smile. "More than that, the Winters Family also gave me shares and property. These alone are worth more than a few hundred million dollars. My grandmother gave me all her shares, and my dad gave me assets, too. I'm now the major shareholder of both the Winters Group and the Taylor Group."
