The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 731

“I keeping twenty-five percent for retirement, and Chris and Celia each have gotten twenty-five percent. The last twenty-five percent is your wedding gift.”

Gwyneth’s eyes welled up with tears. She never imagined the Langford patriarch would give her such an enormous gift.

Victoria was also caught off guard, then she simply laughed in exasperation. “Dad, have you been playing me for a fool all these years?”

The Langford patriarch was completely shameless and didn't show the slightest hint of embarrassment. “Not at all. You are capable and beautiful; you probably look down on the little the Langford family has to offer anyway. Every time I tried to talk to you about investing, you’d just put me off until ‘next time.’ I’ve given up hope now. The company is for my three precious grandchildren, and as for my last twenty-five percent, you can decide what to do with it after I’m gone.”

The patriarch chuckled cheerfully after he spoke, but it only made everyone’s heart sink further. This gesture wasn’t just about his affection for Gwyneth; it felt like he was settling his final affairs.

“Hawthorne, I know you’re a man of great standing yourself,” the patriarch said, turning to him. “But Gwyn has her own family to back her up. This wedding gift is the foundation we’re giving her.”

Hawthorne gave a wry smile. With Gwyneth’s personality, she was already a handful even without any extra backing.

“Patriarch, please rest assured,” Gwyneth’s sworn brother chimed in. “Gwyn has her family here in Starfall City, and back in Greenvale, we’ll always be her shield. If Hawthorne ever dares to make her unhappy, we’ll be the first to make him pay.”

The Langford patriarch could see the sincerity in the man’s eyes and nodded. “I believe you.”

In front of everyone, with a lawyer officiating, Gwyneth and the patriarch signed the share transfer agreement. Victoria then handed Gwyneth a key.

“When you were little, you always begged me for a race car, but I only ever got you a model. Now that you’re grown up, the car you’ve always wanted has been waiting in the garage for a long time. It’s my gift to you.”

Gwyneth had woken up at dawn for makeup, spending two hours getting ready before changing into her wedding gown. Hawthorne then picked her up in the decorated car and took her to the church.

Before all their friends and family, they held the most lavish and expensive wedding in the history of Starfall City.

The day was a blur of tedious ceremonies and toasting at each table. Gwyneth was already struggling to hold her liquor, but Hawthorne remained perfectly composed and navigated the social currents with ease.
