Someone recognized the newcomer's identity. It wasn't Benjamin. Instead, it was Franklin Lowle, the new butler of the Lloyd family.

Following behind him was a group of young women, each carrying a tray laden with various treasures.

Victor and Kenny hurried forward and asked, "Franklin, what brings you here?"

Franklin replied, "I've come to deliver the betrothal gifts. It includes a mansion in Majestic View worth one billion dollars, a contract worth five billion dollars, 10 thousand blocks of gold, one billion dollars in cash, a chest of jewels worth one billion dollars, an exquisite night pearl, a premium ruby, and a top-grade emerald. The total value is 10 billion dollars!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment. Although the guests present were from top-tier families, the figure of 10 billion dollars still shocked them. This was tangible wealth being given as betrothal gifts, and the gesture was incredibly grand.

After recovering from her shock, Marie quickly approached Sebastian. "My dear son-in-law, I didn't realize that you were so impressive. I misjudged you earlier. I'm sorry."

Marie seemed like a different person now. In fact, she was the matriarch of the second-ranked family and normally wouldn't have acted this way.

However, recently, the Bailey family had suffered major setbacks and was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Sebastian's ability to offer 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts demonstrated his immense wealth and his potential to save the Bailey family.

Sebastian took Esme's hand and said, "10 billion dollars is nothing to me. These are just material possessions, while Esme is priceless in my eyes." Esme blushed at his words, her heart blooming with joy.

"You're right, Sebastian. I'll gladly accept these betrothal gifts," Marie said, unable to contain her excitement.

Nearby, Charles' expression turned extremely sour. Although he could afford 10 billion dollars, he wasn't willing to part with such a sum.

Sebastian walked up to Kenny and said, "The 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts has arrived. You lost."

Kenny was shocked. He didn't want to believe it, but the evidence was right before his eyes.

"It's time to fulfill your bet," Sebastian reminded him.

After a brief hesitation, Kenny knelt down and reluctantly licked his boot. This wasn't due to him being honest, by all means, but rather because he was stunned.

Someone who could command the

In

Lloyd family to deliver 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts with a single word was certainly not someone their family could afford to offend. He was likely a bigshot from one of the hidden families.

At that moment, Franklin suddenly noticed Charles and approached him with a fawning expression, exclaiming, "Prince Charles!" Everyone was bewildered. Wasn't Franklin here to deliver the betrothal gifts to Sebastian? Why was he paying respects to Charles instead? Kenny quickly asked, "Franklin, did you bring this 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts on his behalf?"

Franklin turned to look at Sebastian, then asked disdainfully, "Who is he? These 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts were prepared for the most esteemed person present."

His words caused an uproar among the crowd.

IMS

"Damn! So, it wasn't for this brat? We were almost fooled!"

"I knew it. He's just a bumpkin. How could he possibly command the Lloyd family to bring over 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts? It was just a coincidence."

Sebastian frowned upon hearing the

mocking voices. He was certain that

Benjamin had prepared these gifts for him, but something had gone wrong somewhere along the line." However, the others didn't know this and assumed that he was a fraud.

"How dare you! I almost fell for your trick. Let go of my daughter's hand immediately!" Marie angrily swatted Sebastian's hand away and pulled Esme aside. Victor looked at Franklin and asked, "Franklin, who exactly are these 10 billion dollars worth of betrothal gifts for?"

Franklin was stunned. Benjamin had told him that it was for the most distinguished person present, but he didn't specify who.

At that moment, Kenny said, "Dad, didn't Franklin just say that these betrothal gifts are for the most esteemed person here? That must be Prince Charles!"
