Chapter 297


    It was Rose Roberts first timeing to the Turner Manor. Although she had known Ava Turner for a


    while, she had never been to this beautiful manor. The Turner family was strict about who was allowed


    into the manor


    She looked around and couldn’t help but wonder. “Ava, why doesn’t your room look princessy?”


    Ava’s room was mainly white in color There was a rectangr are by the window with sheer white


    curtains hanging Even the chandelier hanging on the ceiling was white while the bed was beige. The


    most colorful things in the room were the light green pillows, bedsheets, and nket that added a bit of


    life to the in room


    There was a balcony outside the window that was decorated with a small sofa and a round swing chair.


    There was also a huge cute cartoon plushie sitting on the wing chair


    Rose couldn’t help but be amazed by the swing chair. It was made of pure diamond, making it sparkle


    under the sun. It was so dazzling that it was hard not to notice it.


    Rose estimated that the diamonds on the swing chair had a value of more than 20 million dors.


    Furthermore, it would take at least another 40 million dors to make such a beautiful chair.


    If a thief ever broke into this manor, they would not have to work for the rest of their lives if they just


    stole this chair.


    Ava ced Jasper on her bed and pushed open a hiddenpartment. A spectacr closet appeared


    in front of them. Ava then took out a Transformers set from the closet. It looked difficult for her to carry


    so many toys at once.


    Natalie Foster quickly got up to help Buying him toys again


    Ava first answered Rose’s question. As she handed the toys in her hand to Jasper, the replied, “I like


    clean looks. With a white base, it wouldn’t look out of ce if I change my decorations to different


    colors, such as this green bedsheet, this light blue curtains, and cute plushies.”


    Rose agreed that it was a good idea and she nodded.


    Ava helped Jasper open the toy before exining. “A few days ago, I went to watch the Transformers


    movie with a good friend from my dormitory. I thought it was especially cool, so I bought a set for


    Jasper. Doesn’t it look cool?”


    When she heard the word “cool”, Rose thought of her brother’s car. At that time, he had also said that it


    was cool.


    However, when she thought of her brother’s smiling face in the cabin, she couldn’t bear to think about


    him anymore as she looked down on him in her heart.


    Jasper slid off the bed with the toy and went to y on the carpet. He fiddled with the Transformers


    figurines, feeling especially happy. He was a child after all and children, especially boys, liked toys like


    these.


    A servant’s voice came from outside the door. “Miss Turner, Mrs. Turner wants you guys to head


    downstairs to eat.”


    Ava replied to the door, “Got it. I’ll be right down.”


    Rose followed behind them. Before she left, she took out her phone and took a photo of Ava’s room.


    She then recorded a video, focusing it on the diamond sling chair. After that, she continued to take


    quite a number of photos.


    Every nook and cranny of her room had been captured.


    At the dining table, the group of ten of them filled up the whole table perfectly.


    The food that was served consisted of dishes from both Athana and Sapphire City. Emma Turner was


    very considerate to prepare dishes from Athana as she was afraid that the Wilson family would not be


    used to the food here.


    Emma smiled and said, “Mrs. Wilson, the dishes on this side were made by a chef from Athana so they


    should taste just like back in Athana. If you’re not used to the food in Sapphire City, you can eat those


    dishes instead.”


    Rachel Wilson thanked her politely. She couldn’t help but admire the Turner family’s thoughtfulness and


    meticulousness. “Thank you.”


    Emma had long heard from Joseph Turner that Rachel had a cold personality and did not talk much.


    The men could always warm up the atmosphere and make things less awkward while the younger


    generation would eat in silence. One of the rules of the Turner family was that the younger generation


    should not interrupt when the older members of the family were speaking, so Ava and Natalie did not


    speak. They just ate their food in silence.


    Trevon Wilson picked up his fork and helped to put some food into Natalie’s bowl. He also scooped a


    bowl of soup and ced it in front of her. Emma and Daniel Turner looked at each other and nodded


    slightly, looking satisfied

    Hackett ckwell was also no longer as sloppy as he was during the day. He had already greeted


    Natalie’s uncle and was quietly taking care of Sherri Landor as he ate. He even helped to serve food


    and pour drinks.


    Ava looked up at the people around her and tightened her grip on her fork. Her heart felt empty as she


    couldn’t see the person she wanted to see. However, she also heaved a sigh of relief at his absence.


    Looks like he wouldn’t being to watch thepetition.


    That’s true. He didn’t like her to begin with so why would he bothering over?


    When Rose looked up, she happened to see Ava’s disappointed gaze and upset look. She wanted to


    tell Rose that Frank Roberts was here, but she was afraid that Frank didn’te for Ava. After all, she


    had seen Frank chatting with someone else in the cabin


    This was Rose’s concern.


    After much consideration, Rose swallowed her words and ate a big mouthful of macaroni. It was as


    though she had wanted to use the food to force the words back.


    Halfway through the meal, Caleb Wilson went straight to the point. “Mr. Turner, the main reason for our


    trip here is to propose marriage.”


    As he spoke, he took out all the things that Trevon had prepared. It was obvious that he hade


    prepared. The list they had prepared was very eye-catching as it contained 168 betrothal gifts. The list


    was then pushed to Daniel and Emma.


    Caleb spoke again. “Mr. and Mrs. Turner, see if there’s anything you need to add. We’ll do our best to


    satisfy your wants,”


    Daniel picked up the list and nced at it. 20% of the Wilson family’s shares, Lithern Club, Grand


    Manor…


    Emma took the list and looked at it. She gently put it down before pushing it to Daniel. She did not say


    anything as she knew that the men should be the ones talking in this situation.


    Daniel had already put down his fork. He nced at Natalie and Trevon before clearing his throat. “Mr.


    Wilson, we’ll ept this list of betrothal gifts. Looking at the items on the list, we can tell that your


    family is very sincere in marrying Natalie. However, let me rify one thing. Natalie epting this


    betrothal gift is not because the Turner family or Natalie ist coveting your assets. It’s just that Natalie is


    worth all that.”


    “Since we’ve decided to talk today, I’ll make it clear. Even if Natalie doesn’t marry Trevon, the Turner


    family has enough money to even take care of her in her next life. I hope you remember this, Trevon.


    Natalie doestitck money, and we don’t want your things. What the Wilson family has, the Turner


    family also has. What I value is that the two children are in love. Of course, as Natalie’s family, the


    dowry that we give will definitely be more than the betrothal gifts that Natalie has epted from you.”


    “Mr. Wilson, please don’t refuse. We want to give Natalie so much dowry to show how much we will


    back her up. Please understand that.”


    The fact that the dowry was more than the betrothal gifts shocked both Rachel and Caleb.


    The Turner family’s words were mind-blowing, and there was no room for rejection.


    Joseph nced at his father before saying to the Wilson family, “Mr and Mrs. Wilson, the research


    base we built in Athana would also be part of our dowry. We’ve also prepared a private jet, ind, vi,


    and our shares.”


    Daniel interrupted, “Joseph is right. Everything that Ava has, Natalie would also have. Although Natalie


    is my niece, both Emma and I see her as our daughter.”


    “The Turner family has always doted on the girls. I have split the shares of the Turner Corporation into


    four. Emma and I have taken 10% while the three children have each taken 30% so the shares under


    Natalie would be used as dowry as well.”


    This discussion of betrothal gifts and dowry shocked Hackett and Rose. Both families were giving so


    much so nonchntly that it seemed as though they weren’t giving real money.


    Sherri was not surprised by this at all. After living with the Turner family for two years, she knew that


    the Turner family had always doted on the girls. Even though she was not rted to them by blood,


    they still doted on her as well.


    Hackett thought in his heart, “Thank god Frank Roberts doesn’t like Ava. If he really wanted to marry


    Ava, he probably would end up having to give everything that the Roberts family had.”


    They were already so generous even when they were just marrying off their niece, they probably would


    give even more when they marry their daughter off.


    Caleb objected. If the dowry overshadowed the betrothal gifts, the Wilson family would beughed at.


    He understood his son’s personality so he said, “Mr. Turner, we can ept your other dowry, but we


    can’t ept the shares. Please understand from our side as well. You can give the shares to Natalie,


    but they can’t be used as a dowry. This has to be agreed in advance, The shares that you gave to


    Natalie have nothing to do with this marriage.”


    Natalie’s face was covered in tears. She was so touched that tears couldn’t stop falling from her eyes.


    She had never thought that her uncle would do this as he had not discussed this with her at all. How


    could she ept so much? Trevon wiped her tears away gently.


    He patted her shoulder softly tofort her. His heart ached when he saw her cry and he felt guilty.


    Natalie sniffed and said in a nasal voice, “Uncle, I can’t ept the shares. Take them back and give


    them to Ava or Joseph Ill only ept the dowry if you take the shares back. Otherwise, I won’t take


    anything at all.”


    She knew that the Turner family would feel terrible if she didn’t take anything at all


    Trevon reminded him, “Mr. Turner, my feelings for Natalie are true. She doesn’t have to bring anything


    over and I can guarantee you that she will still be backed in the Wilson family. This gift of yours is a


    little too much for Natalie. Initially, my grandfather had nned to give Natalie half of the Wilson


    family’s shares, but he reduced it as he thought that she would feel burdened by the amount.”


    Emina understood. She smiled gently and reached out to pat her husband’s hand gently, persuading


    him topromise on the matter. The couple had a tacit understanding.


    Daniel finally relented after he was repeatedly persuaded. When he met Natalie’s slightly red eyes, he


    said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Then you have to ept the other things I’ve prepared for you. You can’t


    go back on your word.”


    Natalie smiled with tears in her eyes. “I’ll ept everything, but there’s already so much so you can’t


    add anything more. Don’t give me other things just because I rejected the shares.”


    Emmaughed as Natalie knew her uncle very well. She said, “You really understand your uncle well,


    Natalie. He hasn’t said anything and you can already guess what he wants to do.”


    Daniel shook his head helplessly and chuckled. “Then I won’t give you the shares, Mr. Wilson. If you


    think it’s still not enough, you can let me know.”


    Caleb couldn’t help butugh. He didn’t feel like he was here to propose marriage. Instead, he felt like


    he was here topete who had more money. They might as well startparing what was in their


    bank ounts. He said, “You’ve given too much. Our family wants Natalie and we don’t care about


    anything else. The Wilson family doesn’tck money. We justck a daughter-inw like Natalie.”


    Trevon agreed with his father’s words.


    After the betrothal gift and dowry were settled, the Wilson family did not stay any longer. After


    exchanging a few pleasantries with the Turner family, they indicated that they would return to Athana


    tomorrow.


    In the end, Daniel asked Joseph to arrange for a private jet to send them back. After everything was


    arranged, Joseph personally sent the couple back to Sapphire Hotel.


    Jasper was left in the Turner Manor. Emma doted on him so much that she wanted to sleep with him at


    night.


    It was already gettingte so Rose, Sherri, and the others had also left the manor. With Hackett


    around, Sherri was too embarrassed to stay over.


    After they left, the manor fell silent. Natalie stayed in Ava’s room to chat. On the other hand, Trevon


    chatted and drank coffee with Daniel in the study.
