Chapter 407: Chapter 406 Chapter 407: Chapter 406 People turned their heads in unison, just to see the engagement gifts from the Horton Family being brought in one by one.
A dozen bodyguards, each carrying a box.
What lay inside those boxes was now in front of everyone, whether it was jewelry worth a fortune, or real estate from shops in Clance that was hard to come by.
Every single engagement gift was the cause of much envy.
Even these wealthy nobles couldn’t help but marvel at the Horton Family’s generosity.
Everyone looked on enviously, then craned their necks one by one to see if they could catch a glimpse of what this mysterious Mr. Horton actually looked like.
Following the long line of engagement gifts was a man in a suit.
The man had a tall figure, a sunny and handsome face, and a smile on his face that was asking to be punched…
“Is this Mr. Horton? He looks very imposing!”
“His looks are quite good~”
“It just feels like he’s… not quite what the legends say…”
Hearing the conversations around her, Kiera couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
The person who had arrived wasn’t Lewis Horton at all, but Tom Davis!
That man made such a grand entrance, yet the main man didn’t show his face?
She pouted her lips.
At this point, Tom had already approached Uncle Olsen, bowed respectfully, and started, “Uncle, our Mr. Horton has another very important matter to attend to and couldn’t make an appearance, so he specially sent me to deliver the engagement gifts from the Horton and Olsen families.”
Uncle Olsen glanced at Kiera Olsen.
Of course, he knew what that “very important” matter of Lewis Horton’s was—it was being Kiera Olsen’s driver!
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing, only slowly spoke, “Hmm, Lewis Horton has a good heart.”
“To marry a daughter from the Olsen Family, of course, it takes some effort!”
Tom smiled ingratiatingly, then turned to look at Kiera and raised his eyebrows as a greeting.
If Lewis Horton could figure out Kiera’s identity, Tom, as his assistant, would certainly be able to tell…
Kiera gave him an eye roll in return.
Tom immediately laughed.
He was genuinely happy.
When Kiera died, Mr. Horton looked as if he was about to follow her!
Fortunately, the lady didn’t die! Mr. Horton also gained a second lease on life!
As he thought this, the people beside him came to realize that this unremarkable man was not Mr. Horton, but Mr. Horton’s assistant.
The engagement gifts were placed one by one to the side.
Everyone abandoned their meals and immediately went over to inspect them.
Someone also turned to Victoria Olsen, “Miss Olsen, come quickly and see your engagement gifts!”
Victoria’s face flushed, and then she stood up.
She felt that she had finally gained an edge.
After Keera had acknowledged her kin, the seven brothers had given her so many gifts, it seemed as if Victoria was losing favor in the Olsen Family!
But now, the engagement gifts from the Horton Family were more than all the gifts the seven brothers had given to Keera combined!
“Good heavens! There are even shares of the Horton Group in here—fifteen percent!”
“I’ve heard that the first and second branches of the Horton Group have quite the competition,” someone exclaimed with amazement. “Mr. Horton is actually giving 15% of his shares to Miss Olsen as a betrothal gift, now that’s true love!”
“Though it’s his second marriage, Mr. Horton really treats Miss Olsen well!”
Victoria Olsen’s eyes widened in shock when she heard about the 15% share gift. She absolutely hadn’t anticipated Lewis Horton’s determination to marry her to be this immense!
She had thought the marriage was off since there had been no response from the Horton side for so long!
She couldn’t help but smile.
Someone beside her chimed in:
“Miss Olsen, your betrothal gift is truly unrivaled in Clance!”
“Exactly, the Hortons are showing full sincerity. The Olsen Family will surely provide a generous dowry in return. When you think about it, Miss Olsen ends up benefiting the most from this union!”
…
While a group of people were offering their congratulations to Victoria Olsen, Joseph Olsen’s daughter looked over at Keera and sneered, “See? This is the scale of the Olsen family when marrying off a daughter! Keera, what did Howard give you when you got married, huh?”
After her taunting remark, a smug smile played at the corners of Victoria’s lips.
