Chapter 1420

Evening.

Eunice chimed in, "It's such a lively day today. Why don't we go out for dinner?"

"That sounds great. It's been ages since I've had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa, and my uncles and aunts! | miss those old

times"

Serena said this to let Arabella know that for the past eighteen years, it was she, Serena, who had been there for the Collins

family!

Arabella had no part in that!

"No problem.” Arabella seemed unfazed, her expression steady throughout.

"Fantastic, | was just thinking it would be nice for the family to go out for a meal together! Eunice, you read my mind.” Belinda

happily linked arms with her daughter-in-law and asked, "So, which restaurant shall we go to?"

"It's got to be one of our own, of course.” Eunice’s smile was radiant and beautiful, "The service is impeccable, the ingredients are

fresh, and it suits your tastes perfectly."

Belinda beamed, "My daughter-in-law always knows the best."

Just then, a servant cforward to report, "Sir, someone outside askedto give this to you."

Everyone's attention turned to the servant, who presented a beautifully crafted wooden box the size of a laptop. The intricate

patterns carved on the box suggested it was quite valuable.

Darren opened it to find a thick stack of property deeds, land titles, keys, and other such items.

There was also a letter.

"Darren, by the tyou read this letter, we will have moved away from Dawnstar. Enclosed are our letters of resignation, which

have been processed through the company’s system and stamped officially. We are no longer part of the group."

"We are too ashamed to face you and can only apologize in this way—sorry, Darren, for sparing our lives."

"We voluntarily give up our monthly company dividends"

"In the last few days, we have sold all our shops, houses, antiques, paintings, jewelry, and other valuables at a discount. The

money earned should barely cover our basic needs, and the rest of our assets, which we couldn't sell in time, have been

transferred to your name, Darren, for you to deal with as you see fit"

"With deep regret and shame, we once again apologize—sorry, Darren. No words can express our remorse, but we still want to say

sorry. We were wrong. We wish you and your family prosperity and a soaring future—your unworthy brothers."

The letter ended with the signatures of the brothers. Darren, with mixed emotions, handed the letter to Belinda and then said,

"Bella, cwith me."

In the garden.

Darren composed himself, his gaze softening as he laoked at Arabella, "You've been back in the family for half a year now. | have

been wanting to give you a welcgift, but we've never gotten around to it. Everything in this wooden box is a token of my

affection, and you must accept it."

Arabella opened the box to see dozens of property deeds and land titles, even car keys, an astonishing amount.

"Tomorrow, you'll accompanyto transfer the titles. All of this will be in your name, including the monthly dividends from those

scoundrels. They will all be yours from now on."

"It's too much. | can't accept it.” Arabella pushed the box back without hesitation, earnestly saying, "Grandma has already given

"That's what your grandmother gave you. These are my wishes. If you don't accept them, it's like you favor your grandmother over

me." Darren insisted as he pushed the box back into her hands, his voice filled with affection, "Take it back to your room for now.

Later, we'll all go out for a meal. If it weren't for you, well, I'd still be hovering at death's door"
