Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 986

"A gift?" Aaron asked in confusion, finding the yellow manila envelope rather ordinary.

Despite his doubts, he accepted it with a hint of reluctance. "Mr. Sheridan, you're too kind."

He was about to hand it to the butler for safekeeping when Otto interjected, "Aren't you going to open it?"

While it was customary overseas to open gifts in the giver's presence, it wasn't a strict practice here.

Despite this, the guests buzzed with curiosity, eagerly anticipating what impressive item someone like Otto might present. They leaned forward, eyes fixed on the envelope.

Aaron reluctantly opened it. Inside, he found only a single document.

"A share transfer agreement?" Aaron read aloud, his surprise evident.

"Exactly," Otto said with a grin. "I'm here today to ask for your blessing, Mr. Boston. As my engagement gift, I'm offering you 10% of Destiny Corporation's shares."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the room erupted in astonished whispers.

"You can't be serious! 10% of Destiny Corporation's shares is worth at least a billion dollars. How could he just give that away?"

"Otto truly lives up to his reputation—he's definitely not one to follow the crowd!"

"But wait, that's not the main point! Did everyone catch that? Otto said he's proposing—he wants to marry one of the Boston family's daughters!"

"But isn't Bianca already engaged to Chandler from the Newton family? He seems like a good guy."

"The Newton family is broke. How could they possibly measure up to a giant like Destiny Corporation?"

"Wait a minute—could Otto be proposing to Faye?"

That was exactly what Faye was wondering. She stared at Otto in astonishment, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Even if Ronald had survived, his future wouldn't have been promising. In a way, death might have been a form of release for him.

Meanwhile, Aaron was also out of the loop. After some reflection, he cautiously chimed in, "Faye's fiancé has just passed away. I'm worried she might not be ready to start a new relationship so soon…"

"It's no trouble at all," Faye said as she walked over, her excitement barely contained. "Dad, I'm ready!"

"Faye!" Aaron exclaimed, shooting her a disapproving look. Accepting another man's proposal so soon after her fiancé's death would surely reflect badly on her.

Despite this, Faye remained unfazed. She had never loved Ronald, and now that she had the chance to be with Otto, a few negative comments were the least of her concerns.

Marrying Otto would finally allow her to outshine Helen.

Chandler might be impressive, but he was merely a bankrupt heir. Who knew how long it would take him to rebuild his fortune?

Meanwhile, Otto was a different story. Being with him would catapult her directly into the upper echelons of society.
