My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

"The heir of the Pierce family personally attends the Yeager family's birthday banquet... What an honor!"

The Yeager family members stood tall and proud amid the murmuring guests.

It was such a prestigious moment for them.

They accepted the gift with gratitude and invited Adrian to take a seat.

Next, Kendall stepped forward.

"Kendall from Dhillon Enterprises presents an ancient carriage statue worth 50 million dollars." Kendall's smile broadened as staff carried in the item.

"Such extravagance!" The guests gasped.

Most gifts were worth a few million, maybe over ten million if generous. But Kendall's gift was valued at 50 million...

It even surpassed Duscia Corporation's 30-million-dollar gift. It was a whole new level of generosity.

Kendall stole the show, and no one else could compare.

"Hahaha! Thank you for the generous gift, Dhillon family!" Zack beamed with joy. "The Dhillon family is ridiculously wealthy to give such an expensive gift..."

"You don't get it. The Dhillon family is trying to get a stake in the Nevernight City Project. Word is that the Yeager family may give them a cut."

"Plus, there's talk of a marriage alliance between the Yeager and Dhillon families. Together, they'd control most of the Hattan market."

The guests buzzed with conversation.

Kendall smiled confidently. He was clearly pleased with the impact.

The gift-giving session had truly surprised the crowd.

With the gift-giving nearly done, Dustin emerged from the back.

"Hmm? That's the surviving descendant of the Fox family who was cast out by the Yeager family!" Someone recognized him immediately.

"What's he doing here? Is he planning to give a gift? Can he even afford one?" The guests were puzzled.

"Patricia and Dustin were cast out of the Yeager family. They couldn't even afford to live in the city. Patricia even had to work odd jobs to get by. There's no way they can afford a decent gift. What a humiliating time to step forward!"

The whispers spread like wildfire, and the Yeager family members' expressions darkened.

Surely, Dustin could not offer anything worthwhile.

Was he here to cause trouble?

"Dustin, no need for a gift. Just leave!" Percy barked.

Since Dustin was once a member of the Yeager family, presenting a subpar gift would not only disgrace him, but it would also embarrass the Yeager family.

"Oh, I'm curious to see what he'll present." Kendall smirked.

"Uncle, he means well. Let him present his gift. It won't take long." Kendall tried to convince Percy.

"Yes. Let him present his gift. Let's see how sincere he is." Damien was eager to see Dustin humiliate himself.

"Whatever it is, make it quick. Don't waste time," Zack said with a scowl.

"What do you think he'll present?" The guests were intrigued.

Dustin was well-known as the fool of the Yeager family.

He was disowned by the Yeager family. No one expected him to have anything of value.

"Probably some trinket worth a few hundred," said someone and chuckled. "Dustin, hurry up! What are you waiting for?" Zack snapped impatiently.

"I'm presenting a gift on behalf of Patricia to wish her

gather a happy

Dustin announced. Cop

Every eye turned to him and waited for his next move.

He did not seem to have anything on him. What could he possibly be offering?

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Dustin reached into his pocket and slowly pulled out a small bundle of cloth.

“Is this some kind of joke?" His actions alone were enough to elicit laughter.

A cloth-wrapped bundle pulled from his pocket?

Could he not at least bring something larger or more presentable?

The Yeager family members felt humiliated.

They had not expected Dustin to be this embarrassing. He looked

stess fool. Was he about ever

t some pocket change?

Carefully, Dustin began unwrapping the bundle, layer by layer. He took his own

sweet time.

The guests strained to look, but nothing appeared.

Damien, Alex, and Kendall smirked coldly.

Was this fool here purely to make a spectacle of himself? It was absurd!

"Oh, my goddess! How much morenoveldrama

mcan he be?" Morgane y longer.

She was not able to watch

"Dustin, if you're trying to cause a scene, I'll have you thrown out!" Percy barked.

“Relax. It's just small and delicate. I'm being careful not to drop it," Dustin said calmly.

The guests were on the verge of laughter.

How small could it be? Was he offering a handful of sand?

Finally, Dustin peeled away the final layer.

Inside was a tiny round bead the size of a soybean.

"This is my gift-a precious bead valued at 80 million."
