Chapter 369: The Proposal
Behind Jared.
Nathan Lehman entered with a group of people, their hands filled with various exquisite gift boxes. The gift boxes
were opened, revealing all their contents.
Billions worth of jewelry.
Luxurious, high-end custom dresses.
Priceless teas.
An array of precious medicinal herbs!
And property deeds??
Upon seeing this, Juliet exclaimed in shock, "Such a grand gesture! What is Jared planning to do?"
"Could it be... a proposal?" Griffin said, slightly excited.
They had already known since yesterday that Jared and Tina's breakup was a joke.
Today, with Jared arranging such a grand display, it must be for a proposal!
"Tina, | have carefully selected these items for you," Jared said, his eyes narrow with affection as he smiled
softly, warmth radiating like sunlight. "I agreed to your breakup, but now | am pursuing you anew. My love for
you is independent of your mother and the Farrell family. From now on, our relationship belongs to us alone."
Jared took the gift box containing the property deeds, pulled out the deeds, and handed them to Tina. "These are
all my properties, now all in your name. Tina, I'm not one for pretty words. | simply say that whatever I have, |
give it all to you." "I will do everything in my power to protect you, to love you. What others have, my girl will
have; what others do not, my girl will have even more. From now on, you are my everything, the beauty | look
forward to for the rest of my life! Tina, will you marry me?"
Tina was stunned.
Wasn't it just a confession?
How did it turn into a proposal?
Marriage?
She wasn't old enough yet!
Though, looking at the stern face and those sensuous thin lips of the man before her, she really wanted to throw
herself at her 'uncle'!

But...
It seemed there were too many people around; it wasn't quite appropriate!
Seeing that Tina hadn't spoken, Jared continued, "I've already had my assets evaluated. Once sorted, all will be
managed by you! Ahem! You just need to givespocket money for living expenses!" Upon hearing this,
Tina's eyes lit up, "That sounds great!"
"Pfft!" Griffin couldn't help but laugh out loud, teasing, "Cousin, you really do love money, don't you?"
One would think Tina was poor.
But in reality, her black card easily held hundreds of billions in assets!
In his view, Jared marrying Tina was truly marrying above his station.
Tina turned to look at him seriously, "I am indeed a money lover!" Griffin, "..."
Tina turned back, her eyes sparkling, "Is there anything else?" Although the idea of receiving all of her uncle's
assets was nice.
She hadn't seen what she hoped to see.
A bit disappointed.
Jared saw right through Tina's thoughts, he raised his voice and laughed, tapping gently on Tina's nose with a
doting tone, "I've already prepared it for you!"
His laugh was enchanting, like a millennium-old sprite.
Tina was a bit captivated.
Jared lifted his hand, and Nathan Lehman stepped forward, respectfully placing a roughly eight-inch cake in
Jared's hand.
A strawberry cake!
Tina's attention was instantly captured, suddenly finding, the uncle wasn't that appealing anymore.
Hmm!
She definitely wasn't fickle!
"Tina! Will you marry me?" Jared pressed on.
"I will!" Tina responded without hesitation.

Money, and cake too!
Getting married seems quite profitable!
She wondered, could she marry more than once?
The smile deepened on Jared's face, "Then I'll go back and talk to Grandpa, find a good day, and discuss the
wedding details with Mr. Reed."
Tina was only twenty, not old enough yet.
Wait another two years.
But two years would pass quickly; he could wait.
The Mr. Reed he mentioned, of course, wasn't Jasper!
Only Hugo was the father Tina hoped would attend the wedding.
Jasper...
Stay where it's cool!
"Okay!"
Lily watched the scene unfold before her, feeling a sharp pain in her eyes.
Her hands clenched into fists, her sharp nails digging into her flesh, filled with hatred.
Why?
They had already broken off their engagement, so why propose again?
No!
She absolutely could not let Jared continue to be with Tina!
Thinking this, Lily looked up at the chandelier above.
The chandelier swayed precariously, about to fall, and Lily suddenly shouted, "Watch out."
She ran over quickly, reaching out to push Tina aside, but before her hand could touch Tina, she saw Tina step
aside with a cool expression.

Lily paused, then a cold look flashed in her eyes as she lunged towards a nearby speaker.
"Bang!"
Lily used great force, and the sound of her arm breaking was clearly audible.
Everyone was startled by the scene.
Willow was the first to react, rushing over to Lily, "Lily, are you okay?"
Annabelle and Jasper also hurried over.
Seeing the situation, Annabelle immediately asked worriedly, "How could the chandelier fall? Lily, are you hurt
anywhere?"
Lily, holding her arm in pain, shook her head, "I'm fine, just worried about Tina. | don't know if she got hurt."
She struggled to her feet and walked towards Tina, relieved, "Tina, seeing you're okay makesfeel better. It
was an emergency, and | only had tto push you aside." After saying this, she lowered her eyes, a cold glint
passing through them.
She had miscalculated again.
She had planned well; the spot where Tina stood was near an inconspicuous sharp steel bar. If she had pushed
Tina there, given Tina's height, she would have undoubtedly died.
But unexpectedly, Tina had moved away in advance.
Her plan had failed.
Why did Tina always have such good luck!
Tina looked up at her, her lips slightly curled in a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Seeing her like this, Willow got angry, grabbed Lily's hand, and said, "Why did you save her? Look at her, anyone
with a bit of conscience would at least say thank you. Instead, she doesn't even thank you and looks at you like
that!" Willow grew more agitated as she spoke, pulling Lily away, "Con, I'm taking you to the hospital for a
check-up!"
"Ouch,"
Lily winced, "Mom, be gentle!"
Willow was startled, quickly asking, "What's wrong with your hand? | didn't use much force just now!"
Annabelle also said, "Lily, if you're uncomfortable, you need to speak up, don't just endure it!"
Lily, holding her hand, said in pain, "I think I broke it!"
"What??" Willow exclaimed in shock, "That hand is your surgical hand; if it's broken, it could affect your future!
Lily, you really... for such a heartless person, you ruined your own hand. Was it worth it?"
