Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton''s ce. Landon and Lauren were with them, too. They


    chatted happily and enjoyed each other''spany.


    The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner.


    Then, Landon asked Angelina to retrieve a thick stack of documents from a briefcase. Heid out the


    documents before Newton with the others as his witnesses.


    He filled the round table with his written proof of his ascendancy. It was as if he was trying to decorate


    the entire table. Yet, these were only the tip of the iceberg.


    Alyssa was someone used to extravagant spectacles. His title deeds alone were thick enough to make


    her gasp in wonder.


    "There''s nothing to be envious about." Jasper smiled. He interlocked his fingers with hers under the


    table. In a soft and low voice, he said, "I have whatever he has, too. I own no less than him."


    "Well, even with the both of youbined, what you own is still less than ten percent of Winston''s.


    There''s nothing for me to be envious about."


    Through her words, Alyssa expressed that she was unbothered. However, her soft gaze showed that


    she was thrilled. "It''s just my first time seeing someone disying everything like that. It''s as if he''s


    setting up a stall right here."


    Jasper fixed his eyes on Alyssa. He frowned and chuckled awkwardly.


    He felt like kicking himself. He just tried to act rich in front of the daughter of Belbanks''s wealthiest


    man. He was being too dense.


    "Landon, these are..." Newton blinked. He already knew what the documents were, but he asked


    anyway.


    Landon held Lauren''s hand in his. He was beaming. "Grandpa Newton, this is my proposal gift for


    Lauren. However, these are only the properties within this country.


    "I also have some assets in Mosgravia and Yoarkley. I didn''t have time to organize the documents for


    those. I will have them ready as soon as possible and present them to you after."


    Lauren''s face flushed as red as a tomato. Her hand became mmy because of the sweat on Landon''s


    palms. Her eyes twinkled with happiness.


    Newton wasn''t a ck-hearted plutocrat who would sell out his own children for money. He had already


    prepared a generous amount of dowry for Lauren. To him, all that Landon presented wasn''t necessary.


    Newton acknowledged how much effort Landon put in to prepare all these. He couldn''t stop himself


    from smiling.


    "You are someone who has the heart to cherish Lauren. That''s more important than anything else."


    "Grandpa Newton, it''s not enough to just have the heart to do so."


    Landon looked toward Lauren. His gaze was so deep that it could prate the deepest parts of her


    soul.

    He continued, "The amount you''re willing to spend on a woman shows how much you love her. Haven''t


    you heard of this saying?"


    Alyssa and Jasper eximed, "How corny!"


    Newton, on the other hand, couldn''t agree more. He nodded. It was as if he had found someone who


    understood him.


    In fact, that was also how Newton used to dote on Doris while she was still alive.


    "I would love to give everything I have to Lauren. I want to have a grand wedding celebration. I want


    the whole world to witness this happy moment of ours."


    Landon was very eager. He wished that he could register his marriage with Lauren at this very moment.


    "No, you don''t need to splurge like that! A simple wedding will do. A wedding where our families and


    friends are present would be enough."


    Lauren didn''t want Landon to squander his money away like that. She became anxious. She felt like


    she was being put in a tight spot.


    Landon smiled and consoled her. "Lauren, the Harpers are terrible snobs. I need to have an


    extravagant wedding for us. If not, they will be gossiping about you behind your back. They will look


    down on you."


    Jasper took a sip of tea. "I see that you''re quite familiar with your family''s condition."


    Landon raised a brow. He goaded, "I''ve always been more self-aware than you."


    Jasper choked. He almost dropped the cup in his hand.


    Landon''s marriage with Lauren was now a done deal. So, did Landon now think that he no longer had


    to please him?


    How mean!


    Newton and Alyssaughed.


    "Grandpa Newton, I will be appointed to the position of the Harper Group''s president soon. Please give


    me time until the board meeting is over. I will then have my engagement ceremony with Lauren."


    Landon was a prideful man. At that moment, a look of humility shed across his face.


    "Previously, I have always been marginalized within the Harper Group. I was known as a scion of the


    Harper family. But it was all just for show. The Harper Group''s businesses were still in my grandfather''s


    and Uncle Preston''s hands.


    "Lauren was the one who motivated me. She reignited my ambition for power. Therefore, I want to wait


    until I am officially the president of the Harper Group.


    "Just like Jasper, I will then have the status that matches up to Lauren. After that, I will give her an


    official proposal. All in all, all these are already in the pipeline."
