Marcus pivoted, surveying those present. Their discussion had provided him with
a rough understanding of the situation. His gaze settled on Hans, an edge of
intensity piercing through. Turning to Millie, he took her hand and addressed the
assembly with gentleness.
“Hello, everyone. I'm Marcus, Millie's husband. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
I've prepared some gifts for each of you.”
With a press of a button, the expansive trunk of the Rolls-Royce unfurled,
brimming with exquisite gift boxes.
“one for each person, Please, help yourselves.
“Gifts? Let me take a look.”
“A golden necklace. Solid gold.
“What? A golden necklace? Count me in.”
“Me too!"
Within moments, Marcus’ offerings were distributed,
“By the way, is the Thomas family the most prominent in Preagend? I've heard
rumors that their wealth knows no bounds.” Someone in the crowd voiced their
thoughts.
“Look at this display. It certainly seems so. Who would have thought Millie would
marry into such an illustrious family? Education truly pays off. Without her
schooling, she wouldn't have captured the affections of someone of means.
Wealthy individuals prefer well-educated, intelligent women.”
As Hans absorbed the murmurs swirling around him, it felt as if he’d been
slapped across the face, his complexion reddening with acute embarrassment.
Following the distribution of gifts, Marcus sealed the trunk and spoke with a
smile.
“We'll take our leave for now. We'll visit again another day.”

Despite his affluence, his demeanor was marked by exceptional courtesy. Yet his
ineffable air of nobility left onlookers gazing wistfully.
The Rolls-Royce embarked on its departure, leaving a crowd in awe.
Hans, who once stood tall, now seemed visibly diminished. Approaching Laurel,
he seethed with a blend of anger and humiliation.
“Laurel, what's the meaning of this? Didn't you claim that Millie had wed a
destitute lad?”
“I didn’t anticipate her husband would actually come. My comment was in jest.
Furthermore, who could have foreseen you'd take it seriously?”
