**Chapter 210**

In the dimly lit room, a flicker of hope danced in the air, a fragile thread that the McKays clung to with desperate optimism. They were fervently wishing, against all odds, that the exquisite gift had originated from Lawrence rather than me.

To my surprise, Lawrence’s face morphed into a mask of incredulity as he turned towards Victor. “What? You’re talking about the sapphire and diamond ring? Oh, that’s definitely from me.”

“Yes,” I confirmed, feeling a peculiar mix of embarrassment and relief.

“Thank God!” Victor exclaimed, his voice rising with the enthusiasm of a child spotting a long-lost toy.

The McKays collectively exhaled, relief washing over them like a gentle tide, and they swiftly returned to their usual banter, their spirits lifted.

“Haha! What can you say to that? You can’t back up your bravado with cash, can you?” one of them jested, the laughter echoing in the room.

“A thirty-three-thousand-dollar ring! That’s our revenue for half a year—and Mr. Blanc just gives it away like it’s pocket change!” another chimed in, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Did you genuinely think you could pass off that extravagant gift as your own?”

Their laughter crescendoed, Jack and Sandy practically howling with delight, their amusement infectious.

“I’ve never encountered anyone so shameless! By all that’s holy, that could have fooled me!” one of them guffawed, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.
