?Chapter 841:


    Once again, Kenny tried to hand Ethan’s bank card back. Ethan simply set it back on the coffee table. “Think of it as my wedding gift.”


    Minna couldn’t take her eyes off the card. Her mind spun with longing and regret. She had dreamed of marrying Ethan—he was wealthy and generous, and she imagined a life of ease if she became his wife. With Ethan, she would never have to work. She would be the richest, most carefree woman in Shirie.


    Instead, fate had led her to Kenny. Kenny didn’t have much money. Over the years, his savings hadn’t even cracked a million. And now, when help was offered, he stubbornly turned it down. He was being so foolish.


    The way Minna gazed at Ethan didn’t escape Kenny, making him feel even more upset.


    He never really wanted to marry Minna. But because of that video, the entire military district thought that he and Minna were engaged. He couldn’t admit he had been pretending to be Ethan, so he had no choice but to go along with it.


    Now, every time he saw Minna, he felt frustrated. He also knew exactly what she was thinking. Truthfully, he didn’t care about this engagement. As for the dress, it wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it; he just didn’t believe that Minna was worth something that expensive.


    “I’ll be inviting all the big names in Shirie,” Ethan said as he took a seat, outlining his intentions. “After that scandal with Miss Davies, the Mitchell family owes the public a clear response. Mom, make sure Kenny and Minna have something proper to wear. We can’t let the wealthiest family in the world show up looking second-rate. This engagement has to be impressive.”


    Elsa’s eyes lingered on Ethan, surprised by how serious he sounded. His words settled heavily on her, and she found herself speechless.


    She med herself for the mess—she hadn’t managed to match Ethan with the woman she wanted for him, and she had sacrificed Kenny’s happiness in the process. Regret gnawed at her.


    She knew full well that Kenny had no feelings for Minna, but there was nothing she could do. She’d shared her worries with him, and he, understanding her situation, had agreed to marry Minna.

    “I’m leaving now. If you need more, just let me know,” Ethan said with ease, then turned and left the house.


    Kenny slumped on the sofa, lost in gloomy silence.


    Minna stared at the card, her thoughts drifting. With three hundred million at her fingertips, she wondered if she could finally have that nine-million-dor dress she’d wanted. But with Kenny’s mood already dark, she didn’t dare say anything to him about it. She turned to Elsa.


    “Kenny only picked out a three-thousand-dor dress for me. Isn’t that a bit too cheap? There’s a nine-million-dor gown at the shop, and I want that one.”


    Elsa nodded and picked up the card. “Go ahead and order it. Get Kenny a pair of top-quality suits, too. And don’t stop at one dress for yourself. You should get at least three.”


    Minna’s smile finally appeared, but seeing Kenny still sulking took away some of her joy.
