He’s just given away… to someone who could be argued as a stranger? It is known that Finn Lewis seemed to be courting Kay Lee for a while, or that he might have won her already. But no matter what, they’re surely not married yet. How is he gifting such an elaborate gift before tying the knot?

There are plenty of celebrities who have married into affluent families, but most of these celebrities, whether from the mainland or Fragrant River, essentially don’t have much say. Marrying into a wealthy family is not as easy as it looks. So, does Finn’s family qualify as such?

There are many cases of wealthy heirs marrying celebrities; offering cars, houses, and the like. But no one has ever gifted like this before. How much is this restaurant worth? Just the antiques within here are worth billions, and he gave all that away just like that?

Everyone’s faces portrayed a sense of disbelief, including Sarah Wood who stared at Finn in shock. After finishing his announcement, Finn walked down from the stage. The crowd, after a moment of stunned silence, broke into warm applause. Finn laughed and gave them all a wave of acknowledgment.

When Finn approached Kay Lee, the others simply smiled but didn’t approach. Sarah Wood, however, did come over. Finn went to Kay Lee and laughed, saying, “You’ve always loved the pastries from this store, haven’t you? Now, I’m giving it to you. From now on, it’s your shop. Just make sure you don’t run it into the ground.”

Kay Lee covered her mouth without a word; afraid she’d break into tears. She just shook her head frantically. Her eyes welling up. They say if a man spends money on you, it doesn’t necessarily mean he genuinely loves you. But, if he refuses to spend money on you, it certainly means he doesn’t love you.

Problem is, Finn has gone beyond merely spending money. The value of this shop is no exaggeration to say, worth tens of billions of Flame Nation coins. Leaving aside anything else, the networking power among this tea crowd is worth how much exactly? It’s hard to estimate, but it can’t be a small number.

I can’t accept it.” After a while, Kay Lee finally calmed herself down. Her eyes red and brimming with restrained tears, she shook her head and said,

“Silly girl, why not? If he presents it to you, why shouldn’t you accept it?” Sarah Wood said quickly, standing next to Kay Lee.

Finn laughed, “The paperwork is already being processed. Even if you refuse, it’s too late. If I remember correctly, the day after tomorrow is your birthday.

So, consider this as a birthday present.”

“No, I really can’t accept it.” Kay Lee remained adamant, shaking her head.

“How about this, I’ll leave this shop under your management for now. We can talk about the acceptance later?” Finn thought for a moment and then suggested.

Seeing that Kay Lee was about to speak, Finn quickly interrupted, “This can’t be changed, okay? I’ve already taken a step back. Moreover, you don’t really have to manage it. Hannah Lincoln and other professionals are here. You just need to act like the owner.”

“Well, that’s settled then.” Sarah Wood agreed on behalf of Kay Lee. Before Kay Lee could respond, Finn quickly said, “You should go and sort out their membership cards first. You are in charge here now.”

At Finn’s words, Kay decided to nod in agreement and started walking towards the other people. Sarah Wood, standing next to Finn, looked him up and down.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” Finn looked at Sarah Wood and asked.

“Nothing much, I used to think you were just a prodigal son. But, you’re pretty commendable now. From now on, it’s your responsibility to take care of Kay.” Sarah Wood shook her head lightly and said. Although she had found some of Finn’s ways unacceptable before, until now, his actions had not failed. And judging by his attitude towards Kay, at least as far as this is concerned, Sarah Wood felt Finn was genuine.

Almost no one in their circle behaves like Finn. People like him are rare.

“Don’t worry.” Finn smiled and replied decisively.

Every person who came here processed their membership cards promptly. These cards were made by Olivia Thatcher beforehand and contained the special information. These cards were not divided into any levels. The material used was a special synthetic crystal. It was unique, impossible to forge. The uniqueness of this could only be analyzed by Zero, Finn’s t800 or t1000 robots, for instance.

“This is our Purple Crystal Card. Each card has a unique number and is made of a special type of purple crystal. It contains your information. With this card, we will gradually launch other services in our shop.” Hannah Lincoln explained calmly to each customer. Everyone, she knew, was from the top echelon of Celeston City.

The size was almost similar to a regular bank card but thicker. The card was faintly purple and transparent with a tiny crescent moon symbol in the top right corner. The lower left corner had a numerical identifier – his was exactly 10000, and his wife’s was 10001.

Holding it felt like crystal, but how could crystal be so thin? Also, the refractive index and such made it seem like a high-grade crystal. Even though it seemed transparent with no visible magnetic stripe or chip, one has to wonder how it stores any information.

The card contains money for spending here. They issued a batch of 217 Purple Crystal Cards today. Despite several people bringing their children along, they didn’t receive any since they did not meet the spending level. More specifically, these people’s children did not have their own companies or their own source of income, so they would not receive these cards.

However, every Purple Crystal Card owner can register direct family members like their parents and children. They can also come here for consumption, but without cards. The expenditures would be directly deducted from the registered cardholder’s card..
