?<strong>Chapter 1047:</strong>


    Brook’s face darkened visibly, hisposure cracking.


    “Mother, that ne is worth ten million dors! It’s meant to be given only in marriage!” he burst out, his voice tinged with disbelief.


    His protest was less about the mary value and more about the implications. He hadn’t yet found a way to drive a wedge between Ken and Allison, and now Kinslee’s public endorsement had rendered his schemes futile.


    To him, it was uneptable.


    It meant Allison must have somehow bewitched the Lloyd family!


    How could Allison, a woman he viewed as a worthless orphan, secure such favor? If she truly married into the Lloyd family, she would undoubtedly undermine his authority.


    “Even if you favor her this much, she’s still not officially part of this family!”


    Kinslee didn’t flinch. Instead, she raised her cane and pointed it at him with disdain.


    “So what if she’s not official yet? I already consider Allison family.”


    Her words were sharp, cutting through Brook’s objections. Straightening her back, she continued, her tone dripping with disappointment.


    “That ne was meant for Gianna. After her passing, you wasted no time indulging in scandals with Nova. And now, you have the audacity to meddle in Ken’s marriage? I fully support Ken giving it to Allison. No one has the authority to challenge this decision!”


    Her deration left no ambiguity.


    It was clear to everyone present that Allison was destined to take her ce as the rightfuldy of the Lloyd family.


    “But they’re not even married yet. They haven’t known each other for long. What if things fall apart in the future?”


    Internally seething, Nova could barely hide her resentment.


    The ne, which she had coveted but could never im as her own, was now being handed to Allison.


    Picking up on Nova’s implication, Brook quickly chimed in. “Nova is right. Mother, even if you’re fond of Ms. rke, how can you be certain she isn’t putting on a facade?”


    Kinslee responded with augh, a sound both knowing and dismissive. “A facade? Even if her kindness is an act, as long as she can sustain it for a lifetime, then it’s genuine enough.”


    Her decision wasn’t merely based on sentiment; it was also practical. Kinslee had a deep sense of gratitude toward Allison.


    With her advancing age, she was acutely aware that once she was gone, Nova and Hoyt could run rampant without opposition. This thought solidified her resolve.


    Raising her voice, Kinslee made a decisive announcement. “Everyone listen well, Allison will be thedy of the Lloyd family. Her position is more legitimate than anyone else’s, and you are all expected to respect her authority from this day forward!”
