Chapter 442

"Oh my god, how wonderful it would be to marry the Valdemar heir!"

"Absolutely! I heard Patriarch Valdemar's welcome gift for his grandson's bride is worth three billion!"

Behind the rockery, Jasmine Keane clenched the hem of her dress.

She'd deliberately worn her most expensive white dress today. Though the fabric was slightly coarse, the design was refreshingly elegant.

Beside her, Julian Valdemar fidgeted with the gift box in his arms, his shirt cuffs slightly yellowed.

"Maybe... we should just go back," Julian murmured.

Jasmine whirled around, impatience flashing in her eyes.

Ever since being cast out from the Valdemar family, Julian had become timid. His monthly salary of ten thousand couldn't even afford the handbag she wanted.

"Don't you want to see your grandfather?" she softened her tone, "And Alexander... he just woke up..."

Julian's gaze wavered.

He did miss his family. But in his current state, he could only afford the cheapest gifts...

Recognizing his hesitation, Jasmine sighed dramatically. "Fine. It's not like Patriarch Valdemar needs your blessings anyway."

The words pierced Julian's heart like needles.

Taking a deep breath, he strode toward the mansion's entrance.

A triumphant smile curled Jasmine's lips.

As the doorbell rang, she smoothed her dress, her eyes gleaming with calculation.

Three billion... enough to last her a lifetime.
