It seemed that she was Brian's new favorite girl.

It looked Like he couldn't afford to offend her.

Johan turned to Malcolm and asked him to convey his gratitude.

Retrieving an envelope from his pocket, he then extended it towards Rosalynn.

“Miss Fuller, my son slandered you, and he was undeniably in the wrong.

Consider this as a token of recompense. Thank you for finding it in your heart to forgive us.”

Rosalynn frowned at the sight of the envelope.

“It's unnecessary," she replied.

“Miss Fuller, please accept it. Otherwise, both my son and I will be consumed by guilt," Johan insisted, extending the envelope once more

Rosalynn considered returning it, but before she could act, Brian intervened, firmly stating, “Just take it."

“Yes, heed Mr. Hughes' advice. Just accept it," Johan chimed in, his voice softening as he slightly bowed, and then departed alongside Malcolm.

A hush fell over the room, enveloping them in silence.

Rosalynn hesitated, her curiosity piqued as she opened the envelope.

It contained a check worth five million dollars.

The generosity of the wealthy never ceased to amaze her!

"Miss Fuller, Mr. Hughes truly pampers you.”

"Yeah, it's the first time I've seen Mr. Hughes Listen to a woman Like that," someone from the crowd teased.

Rosalynn tucked away the check and glanced over at Brian.

His eyes held a hint of a smile, and their captivating darkness, perhaps influenced by the alcohol, unwittingly charmed those around him.

She looked away, her heart fluttering ever so slightly.

He pampered her because he still found her intriguing.

Wasn't it Eleanor whom he used to shower with attention?
