Were they… having a love affair stealthily? It was clearly a straightforward romance, so how did he become a
clandestine boyfriend?
Before he could speak, the curtains were already drawn. Lincoln looked at the closed curtains in confusion. Soon,
Zayla came out of the corridor.
Mr. Vargas, Ms. Vargas is right there, isn’t she?” Leroy said with a smile. “Dad, are you looking for me?” “Come
upstairs with me, and I have something to tell you.” Zayla lightly responded.
Then, she sneakily glanced at Leroy and whispered, “What does Dad want to talk to me about? Do you know,

Once they were in the study, Theodore wasted no time in handing her a thick folder. “This is your dowry. Do you
want to add anything else?” he asked. “Dowry? Shouldn’t it be the bride price?” Theodore lightly patted her
forehead.
He replied, “What are you thinking? Not to mention that Lincoln saved my life, even if he’s a free man now, he still
has the identity of the chairman of the Nash Group. Do you think it’s appropriate for him to marry into our Vargas

Theodore’s hand was still raised, and when he saw Scarlet, he immediately forced a smile and waved his hand

list and then looked up at Theodore, asking sincerely, “So, in your eyes, our daughter is only worth this much?”
Theodore was taken aback. Wasn’t this enough? The list was so thick that it even felt heavy in his hands! “Honey, I

“Is that so? Then how many warehouses storing your antiques have you opened?” Theodore was speechless.
Perhaps he should just go and hold onto his antiques and cry for a night. For dinner, the family sit around the table.
Zayla’s major life event was already on the way to being resolved, leaving only Stephen’s. During dinner, the topic
always revolved around Stephen. In search of a solution for his major life event, Scarlet had been exploring various
