“Don’t worry,” she said firmly. “Gianna’s wedding gifts would be handled properly. Raymond and I will transfer part of our company shares to her as part of it.”

That promise would give Gianna a solid sense of confidence and pride.

Hearing her mother’s words, Gianna was overjoyed.

A rush of excitement filled her chest, and she couldn’t hide the happiness spreading across her face. She was completely lost in her sudden good fortune.

Diana was just as surprised. She hadn’t expected such a good turn of events.

Her son had gotten himself into this mess, and marriage was the only way out. Vincent’s resistance was in vain despite his attempt to put up a fight.

Emery’s offer changed her mind; marrying Gianna didn’t sound so bad anymore.

Sure, Gianna’s shares couldn’t compare to Amelia’s, but the girl was deeply favored in her family. Her wedding gift would surely be generous.

“You’re right,” Diana said at last. “After all, our families have been close for years. It would be wrong to let this incident damage our relationship. I’ll talk to Bentley and see when we can hold the engagement ceremony.”

Vincent was furious at his mother’s sudden change of attitude. He almost walked out right there but knew he couldn’t leave without causing a bigger scene.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger for now.

Once the engagement was tentatively settled, the tension in the room finally eased.

Marcelo then spoke up calmly, already planning their next move. “By the way, Gianna’s movie is coming out soon. I’m confident it’ll be a hit. That would be the perfect time to announce her relationship with Vincent. When her popularity peaks, fans will be more accepting.”

He paused, his tone calculating.

“I’ll hire some PR teams and online promoters to shape the story,” Marcelo said confidently. “We’ll make it look like Vincent and Amelia’s breakup was all her fault. People will believe they were long over and could never get back together.”

Marcelo knew exactly how to package Gianna’s image and wipe away any bad press.

After all, Vincent had once been Amelia’s fiance, and now Gianna had suddenly taken her place, It wouldn’t be surprising if that girl tried to stir up trouble over it.

For all he knew, Amelia still had feelings for Vincent and was just playing hard to get, pretending she didn’t care while waiting for the right moment to make a scene.

Originally, both families had planned for Vincent and Amelia to marry–a typical business alliance between wealthy families.

But no one had expected things to fall apart like this.

To keep Amelia from using the situation against them, Marcelo knew they had to move fast and take control of the story before she did.

“You’re always good to me! You worry about me all the time. You’re my favorite brother, Marcelo!”

Gianna was as sweet as honey, her tone soft and syrupy. Her radiant smile and sugary tone reflected pure satisfaction. It felt like Lady Luck had finally turned her way.
