His expression was just like that of a kid who was afraid that someone might steal his toy.


    Ophelia looked on, amused and exasperated. "Can''t I even have a look?"


    "Sure, I didn''t say you couldn''t look." Keh raised his eyebrows, nced at the two marriage certificates in his hand, and then passed hers to her. Ophelia opened it and nced at the photograph. It was well taken, with her and Keh'' heads close together, both smiling with gleams ofughter in their eyes. "Finished? It''s time to give it back to me."


    Ophelia was taken aback. Before she could take a second look, it was already out of her hand.


    "You won''t find anything new. One nce is enough," Keh said, as if it was the most obvious thing.


    Ophelia was speechless and thought, ''Nothing to see? He sure seemed to have taken a long look earlier


    Keh adjusted his gold-rimmed sses, ced the two marriage certificates together, and carefully locked them in the


    safe.


    All day long, he had opened the safe more times than he could count.


    In the evening, a ck Maybach drove through the open gates of Carnegie Vi. The vi was well decorated with festive ornaments, as if hosting a celebration. Ophelia got out of the car and hadn''t even reached the door when a blur of purple dashed towards her.


    "Sis," Rex, who recentlynded an endorsement, had dyed his hair purple. He rushed to her like an excited husky with his hands up, practically wagging his "tail"


    The next moment, seeing Keh behind her, he quickly lowered his hands and stood up straight. "Hey, Keh." "Hey," Keh replied casually, passing the bouquet to Rex.


    Rex didn''t dare toin, carrying it as he followed them into the house.


    Rex was really timid before Keh.


    Theo stood up. "Come on, have a seat."


    A smile had been stuck on his face ever since he saw the two of them.


    Almost all the members of the Carnegie family were present.


    It showed the great importance of this event.


    Mrs. Carnegie and Bethany had been busy with preparing arge meal since the afternoon and even the mahogany dining table was well set up.


    The family gathered around the round dining table, and Fiy and Bethany gave the newlyweds a wedding gift-a pair of tinum love locks with a 10-carat pink diamond heart set in the center. ra and Henry also gave gifts. ra presented a jewelry box.


    When it was opened, it was full of jewelry. "I''m unsure what kind of jewelry you like, so I bought one from each collection."


    Receiving this gift, Ophelia took a deep breath; the Carnegies'' extravagance was on full disy.


    "Hey sis, Keh, I wrote a song for you both. Let me sing it to you..." Just as Rex was about to start, Henry and ra pulled him down to sit between them. ra said, "Alright, don''t show off."


    Henry added, "Don''t embarrass yourself."N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Rex didn''t feel embarrassed, at all. They were the ones who cut off his financial support; he had no money to buy presents, so he had to showcase his talent instead. Seeing Rex'' head drooped, Ophelia tried tofort him. "Uh... we appreciate your thoughtful gesture."


    Jackson stood up from his seat beside Mrs. Carnegie and Fiy. Leo is studying abroad and can''t be here. This is the gift I prepared for you."


    His gift was different from all the others.


    He was a student majoring in biotech. Ophelia once requested him to help check the water quality in a deprived area.


    He spent more than three months developing a way to treatrge areas of sewage and break down ocean waste.


    That was the most crucial part of the feasibility report that Ophelia had been expecting.


    With this solution, the slum development project was halfway toward sess.


    "Thanks, Jackson," said Ophelia.


    Hearing the thanks of Ophelia, Jackson felt very satisfied.


    "You shouldn''t have. We''re all family here," Mrs. Carnegie said approvingly as she nced at her son, seeing that the gift was exactly what was needed.


    "Oh, by the way, I''ve picked out some good dates for the wedding for you two. You and Keh can take a look after dinner." "A wedding... there''s no rush to n it," Ophelia said, not considering the matter. She didn''t care much for these formalities Besides, Ophelia couldn''t tell them about Keh needing surgery.


    "Both of them are focused on their careers right now; when they are ready, we''ll handle everything. No hurry," Fiy said. After all, Keh'' wedding shouldn''t be done carelessly.


    At that moment, Theo, seated at the head of the table, raised his hand, and Gerald, the butler, immediately handed over the prepared documents.


    Everyone at the table went silent for a moment.


    "Elia, this is what I promised you, 5% of the Carnegie family''s shares as your dowry. Now you and Keh have registered your marriage, it''s time for you to have them," said Theo.


    Keh leaned back in his mahogany chair, legs crossed. No matter where he was, he had an aura of dominance, but he was much more gracious to the Carnegie now than he had been before. "Take it," he said calmly.


    The whole Sinir Group belonged to his little one now, and her worth was substantial. Collecting these stocks from the Carnegie family was well within her capability. Chapter 327


    Ophelia didn''t hesitate and reached out to take it.


    As they finished their meal, the lively family atmosphere surrounded the two of them.


    This suddenly reminded Ophelia of the time when the Hastings family sent her to the Rosewood Manor. Back then, only a driver took her there.


    Though sheter learned she wasn''t rted to the Hastings by blood, at the time, thinking she was getting married, she felt quite lost.


    Now she realized that having a family means getting married like this.


    After dinner, the family sat on the sofa chatting, and Gerald came in from the outside, holding a lot of gifts in his hand.


    "Mr. Carnegie, this is ..." Gerald wished to speak but stopped on a second thought, and looking at the people on the sofa, he didn''t continue. Just by looking at those gifts, the expression on Mr. Carnegie''s face had the answer.


    Theo'' smile suddenly solidified.


    After a moment''s silence, hemanded coldly. Threw them all out.


    "Yes, sir. But..." Gerald took out something from the top gift box, which was a bronze pocket watch. "Is this also thrown away?"


    Seeing the bronze pocket watch. Theo'' eyes froze. After a few seconds, he snorted.


    "Throw it away," said Theo with a lot of energy.


    "Yes." Gerald acted ordingly to throw out the gifts.


    The harmonious atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little strange.


    The younger ones didn''t know what happened.


    Ophelia nced at the time. It was gettingte. She stood up, and Keh beside her stood up with her. "Theo, we''ll head


    back now."


    "It is


    gettingte; time for some couple time," ra joked, though her smile wasn''t very deep.


    Theo stood up to take Ophelia''s hand. His old, wizened hand gently patted the back of hers. "Take care on the road, and remember toe back often to keep mepany


    "Okay." Ophelia nodded, feeling that Theo''s gaze on her was a bit odd, full of reluctance and something else. It was moods that she couldn''t quite understand.
