Nigel’s face flushed red again from my retort, raising his hand to strike me.
But he suddenly remembered Ferris’s warning from days ago. His hand froze mid–air, and he could only reluctantly lower it.
“No matter what, we share the same blood. You can’t just watch our family property fall into outsiders‘ hands,” he said through gritted teeth,
I sneered: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle my family’s affairs, but it has nothing to do with you. You’re not worthy of being an heir.”
Someone who handed over the foundation built by ancestors and still acted self–righteously–such a
person wasn’t even worthy of being human.
After saying this, I turned and left Nigel behind.
Behind me came his shocked gaze, as if he couldn’t believe his once “weak sister” would treat him this
way.
“I’m not worthy of being an heir? Who is then? You? Ridiculous. What business can a woman do?” Nigel
muttered to himself, his voice full of contempt.
A sudden cough sounded from behind him.
I stopped and turned back to see Ethan and Daniel standing side by side, their tall figures carrying
invisible pressure that made the air heavy.
Nigel was stunned, then greeted them with a fawning tone.
Ethan couldn’t be bothered with such trash, but Daniel nodded slightly and asked: “Helena’s engagement party–why aren’t you going in?”
“I’ll go in right now.” Nigel smiled obsequiously, hurrying forward while asking them to go ahead.
I watched from afar, feeling a chill in my heart.
Once, the family’s best resources had favored these people, while Nigel… was always just a little follower trailing behind.

Ethan yawned carelessly: “The Edwards family genes aren’t that had How did they produce such trash?”
Daniel chuckled: “Maybe… not his seed.”
Ethan was stunned, then laughed and changed the subject.
At the engagement banquet.
After the ceremony ended, it was time for toasts.
Ferris suddenly handed me a box.
I was puzzled: “What’s this?”
“From father. Open it and see.”
Hopened the box to reveal a luxurious, exquisite antique jade necklace with a warm texture–clearly very
valuable.
My heart tightened, and I immediately closed it: “I can’t accept this. Return it to him.”
“He’s already left. Can’t return it.” Ferris’s voice was gentle but carried a hint of calculation. “Just keep it for him. When he comes next time, you can return it personally.”
August’s whereabouts were mysterious. The next meeting… would probably have to wait until Dennis’s wedding.
I fell silent, finally nodding: “Then I’ll keep it here for now.”
Looking at him, I suddenly blurted out: “You were gone so long–was there something wrong?”
After saying this, I was stunned–I was starting to care about his life again, just like before.
The corners of Ferris’s mouth curved slightly: “Want to know?”
My heart tightened, and I immediately looked away: “No.”
He chuckled softly without pursuing it further.
Just then, Dennis and Helena approached to toast us.

Dennis’s eyes reflected the image of Ferris and me side by side, his expression subtle, as if something had been stirred.
Helena spoke first with a smile: “Thank you for attending the engagement ceremony.”
For Ferris’s convenience, she brought the wine glass to his hand–he only needed to reach out to take it.
But Ferris didn’t take it. Instead, he grasped my hand firmly, the warmth of his palm making my heart
