Oriana tightened her grip on the red envelope, smiling with genuine gratitude. “Thank you. And please thank Aunt Niamh for me.”

“Kenny,” Noah said, glancing toward him, “make sure to pass along your sister–in–law’s thanks to your mother later.”

“No problem.”

Kenny gave an exaggerated gesture, then sipped his juice while sneaking glances at Oriana’s expression.

Surely now she wouldn’t think their family was stingy or less generous than others.

Feeling proud, he finished breakfast and was just leaning back in satisfaction when his phone rang. It was Niamh.

Her tone was unusually cheerful. “Oh, sweetheart, you really are our good boy!”

Kenny frowned. “Huh?”

Niamh was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. “I owe you an apology. I blamed you for nothing last night.”

Kenny’s brow furrowed deeper.

“Wait, what are you even talking about?”

“You don’t know yet? I asked your grandfather to deliver that check to Micah and Oriana this morning, and not long after, the president of our shipping branch called me. Apparently, your grandpa helped your uncle’s family find a few excellent positions in the company. They can take their pick–good departments, easy work, high pay. Each job comes with an annual salary of over half a million!”

Though Niamh and Cordell managed the corporation, most of the real decision–makers were still loyal to the old master. She had wanted to help her second brother, who’d been laid off from a tech firm, find a decent post for ages, but no one had the right opening–everything was either too low or too high for him.

Now, with one word from Noah, not only her brother but also her sister–in–law and two freshly graduated nephews were all taken care of. Niamh could hardly contain her delight.

Her brother and his wife weren’t even forty yet; if they kept these jobs till retirement, they would earn an enormous sum over the years.

That two million had paid off beautifully.

Kenny finally understood what Grandpa’s tone at breakfast had meant.

He snorted proudly. “Told you I was right, didn’t I?”

Yes, yes, Niamh said quickly. “You were right all along. I shouldn’t have doubted you. From now on, I’ll think twice before dismissing what you say.”

“That’s better,” he said smugly.

He didn’t really care about these intricate social exchanges, but as long as no one nagged him, he was happy.

After hanging up, Kenny stretched lazily, feeling pleased with himself.

Thinking it over, maybe Oriana’s presence in the family wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

At least this year, he wouldn’t have to endure another round of lectures about behaving and trying to win favor.

Oriana, of course, had no idea she had just become the unseen benefactor of Kenny’s entire extended family.

lunch, she took a walk with Micah in the small garden to soak up the winter sun. Later, she went upstairs to continue working on her thesis. By evening, she helped Noah pick vegetables from the garden, and that night, the family gathered for dinner.

After dinner, they all sat together in the living room, watching the gala on the massive television.

Oriana sat next to Micah, explaining each act and performer with enthusiasm. Micah listened attentively, his handsome face alight with quiet interest, occasionally joining in with a few comments of his own.

From his seat of honor, Noah watched the young couple’s tender closeness, his eyes full of affection and satisfaction.

Only Kenny seemed out of place, glancing from the TV to Oriana, looking utterly lost.

Hearing Oriana’s words, he felt rather confused.

Year after year, the gala never failed to bore him to tears.

Yet somehow, when Oriana talked about it, every detail seemed vivid and entertaining.

And worse, Micah actually looked interested!

As midnight drew near, Oriana’s phone buzzed with new messages.

The first was a voice note from Zara. “Oriana! Happy holiday! Wishing us both crazy wealth and outrageous luck!”

Kenny, fiddling idly with his phone, froze at the sound of that familiar voice and sat up abruptly, his expression shifting into something strange.

Micah caught the movement, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Oriana smiled and replied, “It’s not midnight yet, Zara.”

“I don’t care!” Zara said through a burst of laughter. “If I wait, you’ll be flooded with messages. I want to be the first.”
