Once again, the crowd was left speechless.
They could not believe Harvey had just given a resort to Ashlyn without hesitation.
Even Ashlyn seemed startled by his actions. “Uncle Harvey, you can't just give me cars, properties, and companies out of the blue...”
At that, Lucas felt pressured. Why are the people my wife knows all so rich?
Upon seeing the expensive gift Harvey gave to Ashlyn, Janet began questioning her choice of gift for her role model.
Regardless of everything, the Smith family was a notable family who had been working for the government for three generations.
She fished out a car key and shoved it into Ashlyn's hands before huffing. “This is the new Lamborghini that my grandpa just gave to me, but it's now yours.”
“No, wait, Mr. Field's the star of the night. Why are you all giving me gifts instead?”
Ashlyn was sure that they had all lost their minds while the rest could only stare at Ashlyn in disbelief.
Right then, a hoarse voice came from behind the people. “Ashlyn...”
Ashlyn whipped her head toward the voice and widened her eyes. “Mr. Newman, you're here too?”
“I heard that you were coming tonight, so I came!” The elderly man's eyes were bright as he looked at Ashlyn lovingly. “It's been three years since we last saw each other.”
“How are you?” she asked in concern.
“Pretty well, thanks to you.” Albert patted her hand. “Come, have a cup of coffee with me.”
Again, the crowd was stunned.
