Chapter 50

"Is that the same Megan who bailed on her engagement with Tristan?"

"Shhh, don't say it like that. Out here you gotta say it was Tristan who ditched her."

Lenna Cooper and Jessica Lunnon had smoothly veered the topic away from the four Lewis brothers to focus on Tristan.

"If you ask me, Amelia's way prettier than Megan ever was."

"Totally. I heard from my dad that six years ago, the Lewis family actually considered a marriage alliance with the Reids, didn't they?"

"Is that true,Amelia?"

Amelia clenched her fists at the mention.

Yeah, six years ago their family had really thought about tying the knot with the Reids, trying to lock something down early on.

But once they found out she wasn't their biological daughter, they just dropped the idea like it was nothing.

She'd held that grudge ever since. If her family had just brought up the marriage back then, that stubborn old man from the Reids wouldn't have gone and teamed up with Bernard. Megan would've never entered the picture.

If things wwent differently, she'd be the one standing next to Tristan now.

Amelia gave a cool smile. "That was just gossip.Honestly, Tristan and Megan? A perfect match, like written in the stars or something. After everything they've been through and still ending up together?That says a lot."

Lenna muttered, "That Megan girl probably knows some kind of magic or something. How else would she land Tristan?"

Jessica added, "Exactly. Girls who let loose in bed,guys go crazy for that."

Just then, the speeches on stage wrapped up.

Jason walked forward and held out a gift box to Megan. "Thanks for hiking the price earlier. All for a good cause, right? Take this necklace as a thank-you from me."

Megan froze mid-blink, her brain buffering like a crashed app.

Tristan's brows twitched ever so slightly-a reaction from the man who rarely flinched.

Samuel's jaw dropped half an inch.

Kai blinked twice, as if trying to reboot reality itself.

And the folks who were just about to leave all froze in shock.

That necklace cost 600 million!

And he just handed it over to a married woman?

Has Jason completely lost it?

Samuel was stunned. Getting tricked into spending 27million was one thing, but now his brother just gave away a 600 million necklace. Willingly.

And to the woman who raised the bid against him, no less!

Not even mad, and he still gifted ft?

Without thinking, Samuel reached out and touched Jason's forehead. Was he running a fever or what?

A loud "smack" echoed as Jason slapped his hand away.

He shot him a glare, then turned back to Megan with a bright smile. "Your eyes remind me of my mom's.That's why I wanted to give this to you."

Samuel:[Wait,what'd you just say earlier?]

Tristan pulled Megan closer by the waist and replied flatly, "She doesn't need your gifts. She has me."

Jason gave her a sincere look. "It's from me, to MMiss Shaw."

Megan smiled sweetly. "Sorry, but just because my eyes look like your mom's doesn't mean I want to play mom to anybody. Appreciate the thought though."

Jason: [When did I ever say I needed a new mom?]

Samuel:[That girl's tongue cuts sharper than a blade!]
