As Kingsley spoke, a sudden change came over Harlan’s expressor

“Kingsley said that a girl had once saved his grandmother, and that girl is… Elaine Harlan thought.
Harlan was suddenly reminded of an incident. At that time, he had just decided to perform surgery on Grace when, unexpectedly, a girl rushed in right after his meeting, proclaiming that she could perform the surgery herself.
At that time, Harlan did not believe it until later, when he found out that the girl was Freya, the genius doctor on the national rankings.
Could Elaine really be Freya? No, that’s impossible. Harlan thought.
Harlan found the whole idea utterly absurd. It was impossible for Elaine to be that genius female doctor. Even Bianca, whose medical skills were second only to his, was impressive in his eyes. He did not believe that Elaine could surpass them both
Harlan felt that E Elaine’s quiet nature was the reason their parents and grandmother overlooked and neglected her.

Harlan had not told his brothers about this–if he had, he knew that his brothers would have immediately agreed that Freya was none Elaine herself
On the stage, Kingsley had already pulled out a diamond ring,
The brilliance of the gem was nearly blinding. The sheer size of the stone–at least 10 carats–was enough to steal anyone’s breath away.
woman could resist such a stunning gemstone and all the beauty it represented.
No
Some guests in the crowd suddenly recognized the diamond ring–it was the same one auctioned off at the auction house last
This diamond ring was worth over 30 million dollars.
Kingsley carefully placed it on Elaine’s finger.
time.
Watching Kingsley pour so much effort into Elaine, Bianca could not help but feel a twinge of jealousy. Her own boyfriend might be the heir to an elite family, but he had never put in this much effort for her
He could not even openly acknowledge her as his girlfriend. Yet Kingsley, as the head of the Morgan Group, had given Elaine everything—a sense of security, a grand engagement ceremony, and an undeniable place by his side. Everything was planned to perfection.
“With a man like this, what more
re could a woman ask for? Bianca thought jealously
Elaine gazed at the diamond ring on her finger, her eyes slightly red.
Book Elf sat on the stage and wagged its tail, feeling happy for Elaine.
It let out soft mcows
Elaine was the first host it had ever seen find true happiness.
Not far away, the three Yeats brothers watched the scene unfold. Seeing how devoted Kingsley was to Elaine, they felt a sense of relief. Looking at Elaine’s face, they were filled with a bittersweet mix of emotions–both heartache and a long–awaited sense of peace.
They thought, You must be happy, Elainer
After putting on the ring for Elaine, Kingsley led her to the dance floor.
Next, they were going to dance.
In the previous timeline, the first time they met and the first time they bonded was because of dancing
Alone in the dance hall, Kingsley had stood with his back straight, exuding a cold yet solitary aura.
Hence, Elaine went up and asked him to dance with her.
Another piece of background music sounded in the banquet hall

The song’s lyrics » were filled with deep, romantic expressions of longing and devotion.
Elaine gently looped her arm around Kingsey’s, and they danced again, their gazes meeting with an unspoken understanding.
Together, they moved gracefully on the dance floor, a perfect pair in the eyes of onlookers, their chemistry undeniable and captivating.
When Hannah and the others saw the diamond ring and the couple dancing, they finally understood–it seemed that what Shirley said earlier was true. Kingsley and Elaine indeed appeared deeply in love.
People had been talking behind Elaine’s back, saying she was a scheming woman. In truth, it was simply jealousy that led these people to create such false rumors.
Fortunately, they dismissed the rumors, sparing any of them from becoming Shirley’s next target.
After the dance, Grace and Shirley stepped out once more. The bodyguards were holding objects, all covered in cloth
Grace smiled at Elaine. “These are all gifts from Shirley and me, Elaine. Treat them as wedding gifts.”
Seeing that they had prepared many gifs, Elaine felt very touched.
She said. “Grace, Shirley…
Shirley looked at Elaine tenderly, “Child, come over to take a look.”
“Okay” Elaine said before walking over and removing the cloth
The first thing to catch Elaine’s attention was the emerald necklace. It was gleaming with a vivid green hue and looked truly breathtaking
Bianca was stunned when she saw the necklace
She did not expect the wedding gift from the Morgan family to Elaine to be so expensive..
Bianca now regretted letting her family break ties with Elaine.
If she had not done so, these wedding gifts certainly would not have gone to Elaine.
One had to admit. Bianca really had some pretty idealistic thoughts.
The idea of Elaine be
being so highly valued by the Morgan family greatly bothered Bianca.
Perhaps, Bianca craved the thrill of comparison, but not when Elaine was above her.
Grace continued, “There are two emerald bracelets here. They’re a set with earrings and a necklace. They were a gift from my family when I got married back then. Now, I’ll gift them to you”
This set of jewelry was worth at least 3 million dollars.
The remaining wedding gifts were all more precious than the last. It was a jaw–dropping sight.
Elaine carefully tucked everything away, planning to lock these items up. With all these wedding gifts, she had unexpectedly become a wealthy woman, and she would need to safeguard these items well.
In short, the arrival of these gifts left some people feeling bitter, both inside and out.
The engagement party continued on joyfully.
After a while, there was commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
It turned out that someone had arrived. The identity of the person seemed to have caused a stir. Many people surrounded that figure and escorted
him in
Finley’s eyes lit up when he saw who it was. He quickly pulled Bianca aside and said. “My great–uncle from Lento
nto City is here. Come with me to
welcome him.”
It was clear that Finley considered himself the key figure in the room. Finley believed that the only person who could strike up a conversation with this big shot from Lento City, while also holding a prominent status, was himself.
Upon seeing the man and hearing Finley refer to him as a great–uncle, Bianca was reminded of the conversation Finley had with her not long ago.

With the Scott family’s relationship with this Lento City bigshot, Finley indeed had to call him a great–uncle.
“Okay.” Bianca said.
Bianca had heard rumors that Fit

Still, earning his approval would mean gaining access to Lento City’s elite circle.
