Chapter 92 From Now On, You’ll Get a Gift Every Birthday
Goodness gracious, if a table can seat ten people, wouldn’t a hundred tables mean a thousand people?! Hecate exclaimed and commented blankly, “That’s quite a large family you have there.”
She was genuinely shocked by the large scale of Jonathan’s extended family.
Hecate’s reaction amused Kevin, and he thought Donald’s family was quite interesting.
With Emilia’s episode out of the picture, those drinking drank away, and the others. discussing the wedding finalized the plan, quickly livening up the atmosphere.
Emilia, herself, after being enlightened by her grandson, wanted to interject several times. However, she was clueless as to what everyone was talking about, so she was left frustrated and unable to join in the conversation.
Meanwhile, Angela sat down and lovingly caressed the gold earrings her uncle had given her. This was real gold, surely bought using his own savings, costing him a fortune.
“Do you like gold?” Jonathan asked softly, tilting his head.
Angela pursed her lips, closing the red velvet box. The question of wealthy people was always so plain and simple. “Who doesn’t?”
Jonathan relaxed in his wheelchair, looking at Angela. “I’ll get you gold every year on your birthday, then.”
“Does that mean I don’t get one this year?” Angela asked cautiously after a pause.
one this year?” Angela as
It’s my twentieth birthday this year. You can at least make me an empty promise. Hmph, stingy
Jonathan!
Jonathan chuckled, tilting his chin toward the red paper that was sprinkled gold in her hands. “Isn’t this enough?”
Angela frowned, feeling a pang of bitterness. Huh, you make it sound as if I really dare claim these things as my own. It’s all just an act. I ultimately have to return everything to you!
Still, her curiosity was piqued. So, she tentatively unfolded the papers, wanting to know what kind of betrothal gifts rich people received.
Lo and behold, she was shaken up by the first gift alone.
*8,888,888 in cash…” the string of eights made Angela’s eyes blur. “A mansion in Riviera Bay…

a red Porsche 911…”
The Porsche 911 is a new model just released this year, right? If she remembered correctly.
Just peeking at a couple of gifts listed was already proving too much for Angela, and she couldn’t help turning to Jonathan, bleating, Jonathan, this is insane! Who gives an eight. million betrothal cash?!”

“Being businesspeople, my grandpas are all about auspiciousness, and combined with the fact that I’m their eldest grandson, it’s only natural that they would put in an auspicious number,” Jonathan replied plainly as though it was barely any money, and Angela shouldn’t be bothered by it.
Then, he scooped some dishes onto Angela’s plate. “Eat up. We still have things to do in the afternoon.”
Despite being curious about what more they needed to do, it was the least of her worries right now, for she was still reeling in shock at the value of the betrothal gifts. Who else in all of Riverdon can actually pull up such an act?! What’s more, all these assets will be under my name until our divorce!
Angela finally realized why there were so many robbers in this decade and why people envied those rich folks who casually spent millions or billions when the average salary was less than a thousand.
These were all golden nuggets!
Apart from Emilia’s episode, the meal went smoothly.
Quincy, who had been drinking with his father and Bruce, was the first to fall, face flushed from all the liquor he drank. At this point, he was wasted and lying on the table.
Dagnabbit! How can I be the first to fall? I can’t believe Dad can drink more than me! You old for, how can you trick your own son?!
Sebastian, seeing that they had almost finished eating, arranged for the chauffeur to be on standby outside the lobby in advance. He efficiently arranged for the two elderly gentlemen to be taken home first, then instructed the servers to prepare some sobering cure for Quincy and Donald.
After finishing in the restroom, Angela felt a bit disheartened and mortified. What can be more despairing than overeating in front of the man you admire and ending up with an upset stomacht!
