    He then turned to Ken.


    “I’m curious, Mr. Lloyd, would you be willing to reveal the gift?”


    Before arriving in Ontdale, Fabian had looked into the local families. He knew that the Lloyd family had gained significant influence in recent years.


    The Lloyds were also among his potential business partners.


    Ken didn’t have any objections.


    Still, he didn’t feel it was his ce to decide.


    After all, the gift had been made by Allison herself.


    So, he turned to her. “Allison, do you want to bring it out now?”


    “Yes,” Allison replied, her confidence shining through. She was proud of the gift she had prepared.


    Ken nodded and told Sherman, “Bring the gift over.”


    Sherman responded promptly, “Of course.”


    The others around them were eager to see what wasing next.


    For Fabian, the contents of the gift didn’t matter much. He’d likely seen it all before.


    Today, his attention was focused more on a certain person—the woman beside Ken.


    Fabian noticed the name tag pinned to her chest.


    Allison rke.


    He had observed that she seemed to share a special bond with Ken.


    Momentster, Sherman brought the gift to them.


    “Ms. rke, here it is,” he said.


    The box was made of stunning ck velvet, tied with a delicate purple silk ribbon, exuding an air of elegance.


    Allison stretched out her hand to take the box.


    “Today, I’ve prepared a brooch. I heard, Mr. Morgan, that you have a fondness for unique designs,” she exined.


    Allison smiled warmly and nced at Fabian.


    “I hope you’ll like this gift.”


    She carefully opened the box.


    Everyone leaned forward, eager to see the brooch.


    But as soon as Allison opened the box, shock spread across the room. Fabian’s smile froze, his expression turning nk.


    “The Lloyd family’s gift is… rather offensive,” he remarked.


    Allison quickly sensed something was wrong.


    She looked down at the box.
