The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 740

Tears streamed down Gwyneth’s face as she listened to her mother, choking back sobs so she wouldn't be discovered. Only after she had composed herself did she manage a steady reply.

“Don’t worry, Mom. I will be happy.”

She would strive to be happy in front of her family, as if to atone for her past sins.

That afternoon, Gwyneth and Hawthorne were seated in the Langford family’s ancestral hall, where all the clan elders had gathered. It was their first formal, private meeting since the wedding, though the elders had already met Hawthorne at the ceremony and were thoroughly impressed with him. They had heard about Hawthorne’s story—how he had led his family back from the brink in his teens, rebuilding their empire from scratch. His drive and presence were truly rare.

After Thorpe formally introduced Hawthorne to the clan elders, they each presented him with a gift. Just by looking at the lavishly wrapped boxes, Hawthorne knew the contents were exceptionally valuable. Nearly every family had offered a precious heirloom from their collection as a welcoming present. For years, the Langford patriarch had guided the clan to prosperity, so they naturally placed great importance on his great-granddaughter’s husband.
