Chapter 41
Marion cracked open the second
d box, revealing a hefty stack of
of mansion deeds.
The crowd couldn’t be more envious. Even Matthew was speechless, realizing that the least valuable property was far superior to his family’s estate. There were several manors too, all titled solely in Maybelle’s name.
Marion grinned at Maybelle. “Mr. Bishop mentioned that you won’t need to worry about running out of space for those car.”
Hearing this, everyone was green with envy.
The third gift was a property deed.
Marion continued, “Mr. Bishop heard you chose this newly built seven–star hotel for your birthday bash. He guessed you must really dig the vibe here, so he went ahead and bought the hotel for you.
“From now on, this entire hotel, including the attached theme park, is yours. Naturally, all the profits will flow straight into your pockets”
Gasps echoed around the hall.
“I remember this seven–star hotel took almost a decade to complete.
“A relative of mine was part of the construction team, and 1 heard the initial investment was in the hundreds of millions! And there have been expansions since then. Now it’s being

“Even the profit rights are included. It seems the other party is giving way too much.”
“What’s the backstory on Miss Barrett’s fiance? This goes beyond money”
It’s outrageously wealthy. I can’t even fathom it!”
Then couldn’t stand it. She was seet
as seething. This was the hotel her parents had booked for her welcome party. If it was to be given away. It should have bern hers. How did it end up in Mabel’s hands in the blink of an eye!
Rhea was green with envy at the thought that she was the one who hinted at Beatrice choosing this hotel, but Mabel stumbled upon such a huge windfall by mistake.
If it hadn’t been for her, Mabel wouldn’t have this hotel. In that case, she had a claim to it! It wouldn’t be too much to ask Mabel to give her the hotel later!
She was still lost in her delusions. Everything Mabel had belonged to the Harper family, and everything in the Harper family was hers Next was the fourth gift, the fifth gift…. the seventeenth gift…

Dale and Beatrice were on edge. Who on earth was this persont Why was he spending so much on Maybelle for no apparent reason? Dad he know that Maybelle hield 30% of the shares in the Barrett Group? Was that why he was trying to win her over to snatch those shares away
Otherwise, they couldn’t figure it out. If it wasn’t for the shares Maybelle held, what could this girl possibly have that would make a man spend so
Moreover, if it hadn’t been for this mysterious man stirring up trouble behind their back, how could Maybelle have become so distant from them?
mind, everything seemed to fall into place.
When Frade and Beatrice thought someone was trying to grab the 30% of the shares from them, they both felt a chill run down their spines. They apprated calus on the surface, but inside, they were as anxious as antis on a hot pan.
Llike they needed to force Maybelle to sign those shares over before things got out of hand.

The previous seventeen gifts had been showstoppers, so everyone was sturally eager to find out what the final gift was.

“Miss Barren, please take a look and let us all have a glimpse.”
“Yeah, this is the last gift. It’s got to be something special.”
It’s like opening a surprise box. Even though it’s not for me, it’s exciting!”
“What should I do! It’s more thrilling than opening my own gift. Your fiancé is so n

“Where’s that jerk, Mathew Wasn’t he just shouting? Now it’s a slap in the face, right?”
“That’s right. Miss Barrett got so many gifts. Can Matthew afford any of them? And he said it’s cheap?”
“Stop talking. Hurry up and open the folder in the box. Let’s see what’s inside!”
Just as Maybelle reached for the folder in the box, Marion stopped her.
With a faint smile, he said. “Miss Barrett, Mr. Bishop wishes for you to be the only one to know what’s

She carefully took the folder from the box and opened it by herself.
Although Marion had made it clear that Maybelle was the only one who could see the gift, the others couldn’t help but their views were blocked by the people Marion had brought along.

All anyone could see through the gaps was Maybelle reading the folder intently. She looked pretty touched by whatever she was reading in there. Maybelle was stunned by the contents of the folder. She finally understood why this gift could only be seen by her. If the contents of this folder were to become known, it would definitely spark another bloodbath throughout Linburn City!
Maybelle’s hands trembled slightly as she held the folder.
She could imagine how much Oscar had sacrificed for this gift, but she didn’t expect someone to go to such lengths for her.
Even she couldn’t help but wonder, ‘What did I do to deserve this?‘
Then, she picked up the pen in the folder and signed her name on the document smoothly.
She closed the folder solemnly and handed it back to Marion. “Please tell Mr. Bishop that I really like this gift.
Marion still had a faint smile on his face. “Will do, Miss Barrett.”
At that moment, all eighteen gifts he
had been presented.
After pondering for a while, Marion added, “Mr. Bishop is still waiting for you
