Her eyes twinkled with happiness.
Newton wasn't a black-hearted plutocrat who would sell out his own children for money. He had already prepared a generous amount of dowry for Lauren. To him, all that Landon presented wasn't necessary.
Newton acknowledged how much effort Landon put in to prepare all these. He couldn't stop himself from smiling.
"You are someone who has the heart to cherish Lauren. That's more important than anything else." "Grandpa Newton, it's not enough to just have the heart to do so." Landon looked toward Lauren. His gaze was so deep that it could penetrate the deepest parts of her soul.
He continued, "The amount you're willing to spend on a woman shows how much you love her. Haven't you heard of this saying?" Alyssa and Jasper exclaimed, "How corny!" Newton, on the other hand, couldn't agree more. He nodded. It was as if he had found someone who understood him.

Landon smiled and consoled her. "Lauren, the Harpers are terrible snobs. | need to have an extravagant wedding for us. If not, they will be gossiping about you behind your back. They will look down on you." Jasper took a sip of tea. "I see that you're quite familiar with your family's condition." Landon raised a brow. He goaded, "I've always been more self-aware than you." Jasper choked. He almost dropped the cup in his hand.

"Grandpa Newton, | will be appointed to the position of the Harper Group's president soon. Please givetuntil the board meeting is over. | will then have my engagement ceremony with Lauren." Landon was a prideful man. At that moment, a look of humility flashed across his face.

"Lauren was the one who motivated me. She reignited my ambition for power. Therefore, | want to wait until | am officially the president of the Harper Group.
"Just like Jasper, | will then have the status that matches up to Lauren. After that, | will give her an official proposal. All in all, all these are already in the pipeline."
