Ste raised her ss and clinked it against Darcie’s. She said, “Thank you, Mrs. Saun.” Her smile was
friendly, yet it left one wondering if her gratitude was genuine.
Darcie returned the smile, her tone kind, “We’re family; there’s no need for formalities. You’re
Wenham’s daughter and also a kin to Jaylene and me. If you ever need anything, just let me know.”
Ste nodded and lowered her gaze.

After bringing Danny to his seat, Wenham guided Ste to greet the other rtives and friends at their
tables.
Trevor excused himself for a moment, and Ste was hesitant about following Wenham around.
Surrounded by unfamiliar faces, she worried about handling conversations. To her surprise, she found
little need to speak. As Wenham indulged in a few drinks, he became quite chatty. Ste only needed
to greet the people and let Wenham do all the talking.
Whenever someone paid her apliment, Wenham would linger for a chat.
After finishing their rounds, they went back to the center stage.
Trevor had also returned by this point. He leaned in to share a few hushed words with Wenham, who
nodded in agreement. He cleared his throat and addressed the guests,
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention for a moment. I have an announcement to make.”
Darcie observed Wenham’s expression and felt uneasy because they did not discuss this segment.
Wenham continued as the room’s attention shifted, “I want to thank all of you for being here with us.
Today’s banquet went smoothly. Ste has returned to her birth family, and as her father, I couldn’t be
happier. As many of you know, Enchanted, now branded as Caline, was founded by myte ex-wife.
After her passing, I’ve been overseeing it. Now that my daughter has returned, it’s only fitting that I
entrust it to her care.”
Wenham paused and epted a folder from Trevor before passing it to Ste. “Inside, you’ll find the
shares for Caline and the important documents since its establishment. I’m handing this to you. From
here on, you’re one of Caline’s shareholders.”
The statement left everyone astonished.
Caline stood as one of the most lucrative ventures within the Saun family’s portfolio. This fragrance
company was cofounded by Freesia and had risen to prominence in the domestic industry under the
Saun family’s management. Their perfume line had be a global sensation, making waves even in
international markets.
In addition, their tailored fragrance services in top-tier cities formed aprehensivework between
the people brand. At least half of the men and women attending the banquet had used Caline’s
products before.
Thepany was poised to generate substantial profits, which were far from a trifling sum.
Wenham showcased the depth of his affection for his biological daughter when he entrusted this
sizeable enterprise to Ste instead of Trevor or Jaylene.
Darcie’splexion paled when she heard what he had said.
Darcie and Wenham talked about presenting Ste with a wee-home gift during the event.
Wenham had mentioned this idea, but she had persuaded him otherwise. She argued that Ste was
currently focusing on her acting career, and handing over such a sizablepany might not be the
best option. Instead, she proposed gifting Ste a primemercial street in the East. The bustling
areamanded steep rents, yielding millions of dors annually. Moreover, it would be hassle-free.
Wenham agreed to the suggestion and arranged for a transfer of ownership to be drafted well in
advance so they could present it to Ste on the banquet day.
Everything had been meticulously deliberated and settled. Hence, it was surprising that Wenham
deviated from the original n by suddenly entrusting Caline to Ste for management without
consulting Darcie.
Caline had two significant shareholders-Wenham and Darcie. Thepany had been established by
both Darcie and Freesia. After Freesia’s passing, Wenham had initially intended to allocate Freesia’s
share to the Hall family.
However, Daryl returned it to the Sauns after operating the business for two years.
