Seven years later, Thorne–Morgan Group’s market value exceeded eight hundred billion dollars. Damon’s net worth soared.
Mr. Kingston Sr’s family company, entrusted to his granddaughter, Sophia, had been

completely mismanaged.
A few days ago, she even came to Damon for help.
“Cousin, please help me, for old times‘ sake!”
I still remember Damon’s reaction.

His smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Now you know to come begging me for help? Why didn’t you think of this day when you were trying to ruin me and my cousin?”
Yes, the one who initially suggested to Mr. Kingston Sr. to give Damon and his cousin a billion dollars each for a competition was her.
Sophia Thorne.
A sweet appearance, but a heart full of wicked ambition.
When she learned Damon might “resurface,” she tampered with the movie I invested in.
She used her influence to hype up a terrible movie, boosting its box office to tens of
billions.
“However, I do have to thank you. If it weren’t for your help, Riley’s movie wouldn’t have earned tens of billions, and I wouldn’t have been able to turn things around. Honestly, I really should help you, shouldn’t I?”
Sophia sighed in relief.
“But I’m helping the company, not you.“‘
Ultimately, Sophia became a prisoner of her own actions.
Mr. Kingston Sr. had passed away.
Damon still helped his grandfather’s company and handed it over to his cousin.
His cousin said, “I think one thing is still missing.”

He smiled at us. “Our family hasn’t had a happy event in a long time.”
Damon proposed to me.
Skipping the dating phase and going straight to the big step.
I looked at him on one knee and pouted slightly. “Are you sure it’s not too late to propose
to me now?”
“Not at all.”
Damon smiled. “Do you remember what I said when we watched that movie together?”
Of course, I remembered.
He had said, “If there was a chance for you to live a rich life forever, would you want it?”
“So, am I a legitimate rich lady now?”
Before, he gave me half a billion to spend in a month, and I couldn’t generate personal
assets.
But now, everything was different.
He magically pulled out the bracelet, the one I had rented back then to show off on the
yacht.
“Now, it truly belongs to you.”
Damon said each word distinctly.
I blinked.
“Actually, the day you returned the bracelet, I bought it.”
Damon confessed honestly.
A bracelet worth tens of millions.

He really dared to.
“Because I realized you truly loved it.”
He looked a little shy. “This is the first gift I’ve ever given to a girl I like.”
He looked nervous. “What do you say?”
I smiled. “The ring and the bracelet, I want them both!”
Damon froze for a moment, then picked me up and spun me around.
“Careful with the bracelet! It’s tens of millions!”
“Tens of millions? We’ve got money to burn!”
“From now on, buy whatever you want.”
He whispered in my ear.
Damon and I had a grand wedding.
His cousin was the best man.
As for the company’s great hero, the little fatty, whose real name was Leo Chen, he was now married to my best friend, Chloe.
Those two fell for each other right under my nose; their love hormones were practically
blinding me.
Now, Chloe was pregnant.
After the wedding, Damon and I went on our honeymoon.
I asked him, “Why did you entrust me with half a billion to spend back then? You gambled
your whole life on me, didn’t you?”
“Nothing special. I just felt that no matter the outcome, win or lose, I was fine with it. Because I only trusted you.”
That was probably the most unpretentious, yet most beautiful declaration of love.
“I accidentally called you ‘hubby‘ before. Now I can legitimately call you ‘hubby!”
“Is it ‘Boss Thorne‘ or ‘hubby‘?”
He was even playing with words.
“Both. We’re husband and wife, and strategic partners. For the rest of our lives, please guide me.”
“Of course, my dearest wife.”
