?Chapter 1348:


    Without a second thought, Christina ced the ne in her mother’s hand. “Thank you, Mom.”


    “You don’t need to thank me, sweetheart,” Beth murmured as she fastened it gently around Christina’s neck.


    “It looks stunning!” Ophelia said sincerely.


    Everyone else nodded in agreement. “Absolutely beautiful.”


    Beth wrapped her arms around Christina and whispered, “I love you, sweetheart.”


    Christina’s body tensed slightly, her eyes glistening before she returned the embrace.


    “Mom, I love you too.”


    Florrie watched the scene, her tears falling freely as she took in the sight of her granddaughter finally home.


    After a moment, she dabbed her eyes and handed Christina a bank card. “Bonnie, there’s fifty million in here. It’s all for you.”


    “I’ve got something for Bonnie too!” Ophelia chimed in, eagerly passing over another card. “Bonnie, there’s another fifty million on this one.”


    As Florrie and Ophelia offered their gifts, the others followed suit, each believing they had brought something special, only to realize every gift held the same amount.


    “This is my money for you, Bonnie.”


    “This one’s from me, Bonnie. If it’s not enough, I’ll send moreter.”


    “And the funds on this card, darling, are entirely yours. Spend them however you like.”


    “Ahem…” Merlin cleared his throat, stepping forward with aposed expression as he extended his own card. “I have fifty million here as well. Take it.”


    Christina stood speechless, her eyes flickering between the cards being offered one after another.


    It wasn’t the money that moved her—it was the love behind it. That warmth of belonging, of truly being cherished, was worth more than any sum.

    “Take it, honey,” Beth said softly, holding her hand and pressing the card into her palm. “Your father should arrive around midnight. Whatever you need, just tell us.”


    “Okay,” Christina replied, not refusing and epting the other cards as well.


    “Thank you, everyone,” she said politely.


    Ophelia waved dismissively with a grin. “We’re all family, no need for thanks.”


    Then she hugged Christina warmly. “Christina, you’re incredible. Teach me a few things when you get the chance—I want to be as amazing as you.”


    “You wish!” Amaya said with a teasingugh, rolling her eyes at her daughter. “What Christina knows isn’t something you can just pick up.”


    “Hmph! I’d settle for learning even a fraction of what she knows,” Ophelia said with a lighthearted pout.
