To Florence, this was a matter of life and death. To Theodore, it amounted to little more than a harmless mistake, something he believed could be brushed aside by ignoring it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at him for a long time, long enough for her eyes to begin to sting. Even then, she could not bring herself to speak. All that remained was disappointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond was about to say something, but Diana pressed a hand to his arm and stopped him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wearing a faint, unreadable smile, she said, \u201cSince that\u2019s how you see it, what more is there for us to say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no point in continuing. She should have known long ago that expecting a genuine explanation from Theodore was unrealistic. Fortunately, she had never truly relied on this father to begin with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Megan felt that things had turned out exactly as they always did. Once again, the Hutton siblings had no leverage over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seizing the moment, she turned to Theodore and said, \u201cBy the way, Dad, can I attend the charity gala tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course you can.\u201d Diana answered even faster than Theodore this time. \u201cIf you\u2019re not allowed to go, your father might end up slapping Ray again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the first time, the normally composed and dutiful eldest daughter spoke without restraint, her words openly disrespectful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theodore looked helpless. \u201cFine. If you don\u2019t want Meg to go, then she won\u2019t go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no chance Megan would accept that. She was about to argue when Diana smiled instead. \u201cShe can go if she wants. It has nothing to do with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Megan became even more certain that they had no way to control her. A trace of smugness surfaced in her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking of Penelope, who was separated by only a single wall, she tested the waters. \u201cThen what do you plan to do about Penelope?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If they pushed Penelope too far, she worried about retaliation. If there was room to negotiate, she would not mind offering a small favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James answered calmly, \u201cThat\u2019s not something you need to worry about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, the Hampton household buzzed with activity. As the groom\u2019s family, they needed to demonstrate sincerity, especially with the bride\u2019s family being the Huttons.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the engagement became official, countless eyes would turn toward the Hampton family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adeline brimmed with enthusiasm, personally preparing the gift list and checking every item herself. When she finished calculating the total, the value had already reached seven figures and continued to climb toward eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt a twinge of pain, but the thought of marrying a Hutton daughter, one who also carried her grandson, made the expense feel worthwhile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Caleb returned to the old residence to retrieve something and walked straight into the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Adeline saw him, she assumed he had finally come around and hurried over. \u201cTake a look. Should we add anything else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Hampton family could afford it. The question lay only in willingness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caleb swept his gaze across the courtyard, where rows of gift boxes filled his vision. His expression cooled. \u201cAs long as you\u2019re happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His wishes had never mattered, and he had no intention of giving in to Adeline again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adeline missed the implication entirely. \u201cThat works too. Elders usually handle these things anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMm,\u201d Caleb answered absentmindedly and headed straight into the house. He went to the collection room and took out the pair of bracelets Dorothy had intended to give Sydney last time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he came back downstairs, Adeline noticed his haste. \u201cAre you heading out again? You\u2019re not coming to the gala with me tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Caleb\u2019s expression tightened. He clenched the jewelry box slightly before replying, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, the assistant waiting beside the Maybach stepped forward and whispered something to him. Caleb froze. \u201cWhy is he here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d The assistant shook his head. \u201cThe office just called. Mr. Sterling said he wanted to see you, nothing more. They didn\u2019t dare stop him. He\u2019s already waiting in your office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand.\u201d Caleb did not look at Adeline again. He got into the car with his assistant. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant hesitated. \u201cTo the company, or\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe company.\u201d Caleb knew Julian too well. If he avoided him now, it would only deepen his suspicions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d As another thought occurred to him, a sharp glint flashed in Caleb\u2019s eyes. \u201cHow are the arrangements at the port?\u201d (1\u00a0<\/p>\n
