?Chapter 1514:


    The secretary chimed in, “The mansion is a true disy of Oiscoll’s heritage and luxury. With our dedicated guide, you can fully immerse yourself in its grandeur today.”


    Hamilton headed upstairs to change into fresh clothes. As the guide started the tour, Cedric’s disinterest was clear. He leaned toward Niks and whispered, “Why is your father suddenly unting all this stuff to me?”


    Niks looked puzzled.


    Cedric frowned. “Does he think I’ve never seen the world? Is he trying to put me down by showing off?”


    Niks shook his head. “I don’t think that’s it. You’ve never cared much about this stuff, have you?”


    He recalled an auction where he’d bought an elegant, pricey antique vase. Since he was staying at Dani’s ce, he figured he shouldn’t mooch off her, so he gifted her the vase. The vase was worth more than fifty million at the time. It was definitely expensive.


    Dani barely looked at it, thanked him quietly, then went off to eat Carol’s sandwiches.


    The following day, Niks caught sight of Cedric using that fifty-million-dor vase to hold a bouquet of roses. He waspletely stunned. He figured Cedric didn’t grasp how valuable it was. But Cedric shrugged and exined, “It’s just a vase. If it’s not holding flowers, what else can it really do?”


    Niks stood there,pletely at a loss for words. Deep down, he had to admit Cedric made sense.


    Later on, Niks discovered that when Cedric first came into money, he went through a fleeting phase where antiques became his shiny new obsession. Dani once mentioned that Cedric had even purchased an entire vi—just to stash his treasure trove of antique finds. But like a summer storm, his interest passed as quickly as it came.


    Niks figured Hamilton didn’t truly understand Cedric. Otherwise, Hamilton wouldn’t have dragged Cedric home to sh his riches like a parade banner. If he had, this whole disy would’ve seemed outright ridiculous. Rather than throwing luxury at Cedric’s feet, Hamilton would’ve been better off praying to the heavens.


    After all, Cedric’s world spun entirely around love.

    As Hamilton made his grand descent down the staircase, Cedric lounged on a sofa rumored to be worth more than a hundred million, casually sipping on a ss of water. Hamilton’s brow twitched. “Water? For our guest? Bring out my special blend—the one that costs five million per gram,” he said, sinking into the chair across from Cedric with a flourish. “You’ve never tasted anything like it. Try it today.”


    At that point, Niks waspletely convinced—Hamilton was absolutely parading his wealth in front of Cedric. And Cedric had no doubts about it either. Cedric raised a hand, cool and calm. “No need to go to the trouble. I’m not really a coffee person.”


    Hamilton clicked his tongue twice in mock dismay. “You have no idea what you’re passing up.”


    Hamilton thenunched into a long speech, waxing lyrical about the coffee for nearly half an hour. Atst, it was time to eat—and Hamilton became a tour guide, describing everything from the table’s origin to the wine’s vintage, right down to the texture of the dessert.
