Madam Manoban herself had declared this before the media on her wedding day. This meant she had absolutely no way of going back on her words.

One day, if Director Lee truly sought her out and she went back on her words and refused to return him the shares, she would suffer a serious loss of her face.

Furthermore, at the moment, it seemed like there were people with impure intentions in the Lee family. Based on her words, she was doing a good deed by protecting some of the shares on his behalf.

This time, no one felt that Jennie was being greedy.

After all, if someone insisted on gifting you a billion dollars, only fools would say no.

When Lee Jingyuan heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. He had spent his lifetime navigating through the business world and had developed a good eye for character.

Jennie was not a greedy girl. She would absolutely stick to her words. It was his own granddaughter, Somi, who always seemed to be hiding her true side.

Still, he would never take back a gift he had given.

[Jennie is beyond blessed, ah. What did they mean by 'ruining the Manoban family's luck'? She received a billion dollars at one go. I bet the Manoban family's luck is actually improving!]

[Dear gods above, why won't Director Lee see me like a family? Don't mention a billion dollars. Even a million dollars would be great!]

[She received a billion dollars and is even set to make profits through the ten haunted apartments she purchased. Even if she leaves the Manoban family now, Jennie will remain absolutely wealthy...]

The audience watching the live-stream was in an uproar. They were more agitated than they would have been if they received the money themselves.

Kai was also heavily angered. He immediately wanted to leave the wedding venue, but was held back by Huang Zhishu. "Son, you cannot leave?"

"Why?"

Huang Zhishu whispered to him. "We've lost a billion dollars just like that. I'm even angrier than you are. But your sister has already left from here. If we leave with her, outsiders will assume that even the two of us are greedy for the Lee Group's money."

Kai unhappily sat back down on his seat. The table before him was covered in expensive and luxurious dishes. However, he did not have the slightest bit of appetite.

He shifted his seemingly charming gaze onto Jennie and took in her stunning beauty and perfect figure. If he had known she would amass this much wealth one day, he would definitely have accepted Jennie's confession back then!

He gripped his fists tightly. He truly regretted it very much!

Lisa, on the other hand, did not have much feelings about the shares Jennie received.

With his own wealth and status, a billion dollars wasn't that big of a sum to him.

Lisa's heart ached for his wife. He urged her to return to the Yu Ting Villa's main building to rest first while he stayed behind to continue entertaining the guests.

The Manoban family's iconic wedding was receiving a lot of viewership through the live-streams. The news of Jennie receiving ten percent of the Lee Group's shares further caused the internet to explode.

In Jing Xin Residence located behind the Manoban family's main villa, Somi smashed a teacup the moment she entered the living room. She then kicked the table over and smashed several of the decorative vases...

Smashing noises filled the air.

The living room quickly turned into a mess.

Quite some time later, Kai and Huang Zhishu were dumbstruck by the sight that greeted them upon their return.

"Daughter, you've gone mad!" Huang Zhishu reprimanded her.

"I am mad. Lee Jingyuan, that damned old man. He insists that I don't have enough experience and refuses to let me work at the Lee Group, yet he handed a billion dollars over to Jennie, that whore!" Somi was angered to the point where her refined facade was ruined.

Huang Zhishu held her in heartache. "My daughter, don't be angry, don't be angry. The Lee Group is worth ten billion dollars. Although we've lost a billion dollars, don't we still have nine billion dollars? That enormous sum is all yours."

Somi's expression was vicious. "It's a pity that Lee Jingyuan remains standing in my way. His body is still very strong. If he refuses to die, I don't know if he might one day go crazy and decide to gift the entire Lee Group to Jennie instead."
