Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 696

After accepting Lester's proposal, Sylvia originally thought about just having the two families eat together.

But Lester insisted that she deserved a proper celebration.

Unable to dissuade him, Sylvia agreed to hold an engagement ceremony.

However, it could only be a small, intimate gathering, and they wouldn't invite the big shots from their circle.

She was afraid that her status would make things difficult for Lester.

Lester agreed.

After finalizing the details, Sylvia took two days to calm down before telling Naomi about the proposal.

As a result, Naomi came looking for her bright and early the next morning.

As soon as she walked in, Naomi stared at her face, examining it closely, and said with some distaste, "Why is your skin a bit dry?"

Sylvia touched her cheek, "Probably the change of seasons."

Naomi shoved a beauty salon card into her hand. "I loaded some money on this for you, make sure you go for regular treatments."

Sylvia looked down at the black card in her hand. This beauty salon was one of the top spots in Kingstoria.

Just to get a black card required a minimum deposit of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Mom, you..."

Before she could finish, Naomi pulled a thin envelope from her bag.

"This is your dowry."

"Dowry?"

Sylvia hesitantly opened the envelope and pulled out a check.

The number on it was...

"Three million dollars!" Sylvia didn't even dare to blink, counting the zeros again just to be sure.

"That's not all," Naomi raised an eyebrow with a smile, pulling two property deeds from her bag. "I bought these for you too. If you don't like them, you can sell them and pick something else."

Sylvia opened the deeds, completely dumbfounded.

Although the apartments weren't huge, the locations were excellent. Each one was worth around three million.

Adding it all up, Naomi had casually dropped nearly ten million dollars for her dowry.
