    Smart''s only response was a cold sneer. "Heh," he smirked, looking down on Daniel with a mix of ridicule and disdain. "Country bumpkin, I know what you''re thinking; I know your n. You probably think that once I open this sandalwood box and showcase the Divine Pearl, everyone here will be astonished. Kind will have no choice but to give Jessica to me, and you''ll be ousted from the celebration for good. You won''t dare step foot in the Matthews estate ever again!"


    By this time, the Matthews''s servants had drawn the curtains and dimmed the lights, plunging the banquet hall into darkness. "Smart, now that the curtains are drawn and the lights are out, and the banquet hall is pitch ck, why don''t you open the sandalwood box and reveal the night pearl?" came the urging from the curious guests.


    "Everyone, wait for the grand reveal," Smart pronounced as he slowly opened the sandalwood box. The onlookers braced themselves to be dazzled and bathed in spiritual energy. However, even after a substantial wait, not a single ray of light emanated from the box.


    "What''s going on? Turn on the lights," Beauty called, prompting one of the servants to promptly illuminate the room again.


    Under the harsh brightness, the contents of Smart''s box revealed their true form. It was not a night pearl, but a simple stone resting inside. As the crowd absorbed this reality, everyone''s gaze converged on Smart with sheer disbelief and confusion.


    Kind was the first to break the silence. "Smart, what is this supposed to mean? Are you ying a trick on me with a stone? Is this meant to insult me or the Matthews family?"

    to humiliate you. The Evans family


    Families, while the Matthews just rank third. Smart is unting the might of the Evans today.


    ranks second among Thant


    He believes you''ll bow to their prominence, and despite such humiliation, you''ll still give Jessica to him. After all, the Matthews have to appease the Evans family, to serve them like a loyal dog!" Content

    Kind''s face, already flushed with embarrassment, turned a shade darker after Daniel''s incendiary remark.


    Smart panicked upon hearing


    Daniel''s usation and quickly


    defended himself. "Country


    bumpkin, don''t you spout nonsense here! It''s not like that at all. I came in good faith, bringing the night pearl with me."
