At the table, everyone looked happy.
After lunch.
The Scott family invited them to the back garden to drink coffee.
In autumn, the garden looked beautiful with the wind blowing the leaves.
“We’ve been friends for years, so I’ll go straight to the point,” Wilbert said after the coffee had been
served.
Irvin encouraged him to continue. “Say anything you want to, Wilbert. We’ll respect your ideas when it
comes to Bruno and Laurel’s marriage.”
“Then I won’t be worried.” Wilbert looked generous. “The wedding will be in next month. We won’t be
thrifty. We’re among the Four Great Families in Rosegrad City, so the wedding must be on a grand
scale. We’ll take care of the wedding site decoration and the catering costs. All the gifts received will be
handled by Laurel and Bruno.”
“That sounds good.” Irvin agreed.
Blanca nodded, too.
“As for the betrothal gift, we won’t be guessing your need. Tell us how much you need. We won’t
disappoint you.” Wilbert looked sincere.

Irvin said, “You have arranged the banquet. That won’t cost a small amount of money. We have only
one daughter, so all of our wealth will finally be hers, so we do not have any particular needs. Let’s see
if Laurel has any requirements.”
Laurel hurriedly said, “Not at all. Wedding day is for joy. I’m happy as long as you’re happy. I don’t have
any particular requirements”
“I can buy a gift for you. What do you like?” Asked Elise Stark, Bruno’s mother.
Laurel glanced at Elise.
She couldn’t help stopping remembering how Elise forced her to drink medicine to bear a child.
When Laurel died, she learned that the medicine was made by the dead bodies of the worms. After
taking the medicine, Laurel would vomit and had diarrhea for several days, but she had taken the
medicine for eight years to give birth to a child.
Laurel suppressed the cruelty in her eyes. She said, “I just like the sapphire. Now that I’ve already had
one, there is nothing more that I need.”
The sapphire was obviously taboo in the Scott family. Their faces suddenly changed a bit.
But the Scott family were good at acting. They wouldn’t say anything more that was bad for them. “If
so, I won’t insist. Laurel, when you marry Bruno, we’ll be one family. Feel free to ask me to buy
anything you like.”
“Thank you,” Laurel answered.

“So the betrothal gifts would be like this. As for the dowry, we won’t ask for anything as long as the
children can live happily.” Wilbert paused and seemed to have some difficulty to continue. He sighed
heavily and said, “I have a request now… I’m not sure if it’s proper to say it.”
Irvin said generously, “Wilbert, just say it.”
“During this period, we’ve been investing in an e-commerce project. There is no problem with the
funds, but it happens that the repayment day of the bank loan arrived. So there is al shortage of funds
for this project. We intend to borrow money from the bank, but the bank is tight on money and gives us
several rebuffs. Rather than asking others, I thought it was better to ask you for this small favor. The
Scott Group will belong to Bruno. After they get married, it will belong to the young couple. Irvin, I feel
embarrassed to ask for your help, but it seems only right to do so.”
Wilbert’s words were pretty.
In Laurel’s last life, the Lambert family indeed provided huge. support when the Scott family was short
of funds.
Wilbert had stated his purpose clearly and sincerely. There was no reason for the Lambert family to
refuse.
Irvin looked at Laurel.
Laurel nodded.
Irvin said, “It’s only natural to help the family. I wonder how much money you need.”
“It would be around 320 million dollars with the initial calculation,” Wilbert said lightly.

Wilbert thought it was a small number.
That was true.

The Lambert family could provide that much money. But they couldn’t afford to toss it off, either.
Laurel smiled. “As far as I know, the total investment of the e- commerce project would be 320 million
dollars. Wilbert, you don’t intend to invest a penny?”
Wilbert was embarrassed.
He didn’t expect Laurel to know about the project.
He didn’t expect Laurel to blurt it out.
She meant the Lambert Group would basically invest in the whole project, and the Scott Group was
taking advantage of them.
They were all businessmen.
No one could accept such a deal.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Bruno hurriedly explained, “Our stock price has fallen sharply recently. To balance the stock market,
we’ve used part of the funds to make it up.””
Laurel said, “Oh, I see.”
Laurel was aware that the Scott Group only needed several million dollars to save the stock price.
That number was nothing in front of 320 million dollars.

Seeing Laurel’s expression, Bruno sighed in relief in his heart.
He was afraid that Laurel knew everything. It turned out that she just heard about the project from
somewhere. Laurel was determined to become a good wife and mother. How could she possibly know
anything about business?
“Dad, since the Scott Group met some difficulty in the investment, we have to help them,” Laurel said to
Irvin.
Bruno smiled viciously.
He knew Laurel was just an innocent girl who listened to him.
Irvin couldn’t figure Laurel out. Laurel wanted to cancel the marriage but wanted to offer help now.
Despite his doubt, Irvin nodded. “We’ll be family soon. It’s fair that we stick together.”
“Thank you so much, Irvin. I won’t let you lend your money for anything. I’ll pay you back once the
project generates profits,” Wilbert hurriedly said, smiling out of joy.
“What if you lose money?” Laurel suddenly asked as if she just blurted that out.
Wilbert smiled as his lips twitched. “We’ve been cautious
about the project and did a thorough investigation. We won’t lose money.”
“No one knows that for sure,” Laurel muttered and smiled innocently at Bruno. “Is that true, Bruno?”
“Yes. But don’t worry. We’ve thought about everything about the project. We won’t lose money.” Bruno
comforted Laurel.
2 you lose money, you won’t be able to pay us back, right?”

“How could that be?” Wilbert hurriedly said, “The Scott Group has more projects than that. Even if this
project fails, we’ll have other projects to generate profits. We’ll certainly have 320 million dollars to pay
you back.”
“If you insist, then you’d better write an IOU.” Laurel smiled.
She looked so pure.
She acted as if it was not an embarrassing request but a natural condition.
