?Chapter 653:


    Arabe, despite her age, possessed a discerning eye for quality. She estimated that the gifts’ total value might surpass one hundred million dors.


    Lawrence responded promptly, “Eloisa mentioned that some super-rich fool gave her a bank card with no spending limit to use as she wished.”


    Connor, overhearing this, subtly raised an eyebrow, suspecting that the “super-rich fool” was likely Bu.


    Marissa retrieved a bag from among the gifts and pulled out a dress, presenting it to Arabe. “I got you a dress, Grandma. Do you like it?”


    Arabe’s face brightened. She was touched by the gesture. “Sweetie, you even thought to get me clothes.”


    Marissa beamed. “I couldn’t possibly forget about you.”


    She held the dress up to Arabe, “It looks like the right size. I just hope you enjoy the style and color.”


    “I love it. I really do,” Arabe eximed, taking the dress with a smile. “I adore everything my granddaughter-inw picks out for me.”

    No sooner had Arabe spoken than she summoned the maid. “Quick, help me to a room so I can try this on.”

    Arabe let out a joyfulugh. “Hahaha…”


    As herughter faded, Arabe turned to Connor, who stood nearby, and asked, “Connor, what do you think? Do I look good in this dress?”


    Connor was quick topliment. “It looks great, Grandma.”


    “Great-grandma, you look stunning.”


    “Great-grandma, you appear so much younger. Someone might mistake you for our grandmother rather than our great-grandmother!”


    Lawrence and Lindsay joined in with their own praises, causing Arabe tough even more heartily.


    With Arabe in high spirits, Lawrence and Lindsay began to open their gifts, presenting each one to the gathering.


    The mood in the living room was lively as everyone engaged in cheerful discussions about the presents.
