?Chapter 1574:


    Shepard lingered, retrieving two property deeds from Julia and handing them to Sandra. “These are for two prime retail spaces in a vibrant shopping district, now registered in your name.”


    Overwhelmed, Sandra felt lightheaded, questioning the reality of it.


    Why had the Harper family kept these gifts a secret before?


    What a wonderful surprise!


    “Thank you, Dad! You’re so good to me,” Sandra said.


    Then, Shepard handed her a car key. “And there’s a new car for you.”


    “Wow!” a guest gasped, recognizing it as the key to a luxury vehicle worth tens of millions.


    Giselle gifted Sandra a spacious penthouse in the heart of the city. Ernst astonished her with a staggering fifty-million check and a luxurious apartment.


    Dalton gave her a sleek, convertible sports car.


    Brenna also gifted her arge penthouse.


    In a grand gesture, they handed her the keys and documents in front of the gathered guests, leaving no doubt that the properties and car were now hers.


    Sandra felt as though she were floating in a dream, half-expecting to wake up and find it all an illusion.


    The Harpers had always been stingy in the past. Why this sudden outpouring of generosity? Even if it was for appearances, they didn’t have to actually transfer ownership.


    Perhaps she was overthinking things. She maintained a polite smile the whole time, though her face ached from the effort.


    Keira, blending into the crowd, buzzed with uncontainable excitement. She pressed a hand to her mouth to stifle a squeal. One hundred million, plus fifty million. Three houses, two shops, and two cars! That was a lot.


    When Sandra was unexpectedly called to give a speech, she froze, unprepared for the moment.


    Caught between nerves and exhration, her mind nked, still reeling from the earlier rush of joy.

    Fortunately, Brenna had prepared a speech and slipped it to Sandra. Seeing the text jolted Sandra back to reality. Today was her big day. She couldn’t afford any mistakes. Sheposed herself and started reading.


    “Thank you, Mom and Dad, for embracing me as your own and for the love you’ve shown since I returned home…”


    Keira, listening from the crowd, felt a sting of irritation at that.


    Was Sandra really calling Giselle her mother with such warmth?


    The ceremony was brief. After Sandra’s speech, it concluded swiftly. Brenna then guided Sandra through the banquet hall, introducing her to the young people of Shirie’s elite.
