“Gift?” Renee instantly shook her head and backed away. “Grandpa Baldwin, I appreciate the gesture,but you didn’t have to get me a gift. I didn’t even get anything for you! You’re all too generous.”
Renee had forgotten what it felt like to be appreciated and loved like this. When the Everheart familywent bankrupt and she married into the Hunt family, all she got from the Hunt family was judgment andglares.
She felt touched, and also a little guilty. After all, this was all just an act.
Austin frowned and said solemnly, ‘This is nothing. I’m not a generous man, but I mean it when I saythat you’re the future mistress of the Baldwin family. The gift I prepared for you isn’t just any gift, it’smore of a dowry.”
‘There’s no need for that…” Renee felt so guilty that she wanted to run away and hide. If she knew theBaldwin family would be so serious about it, she wouldn’t have agreed to pretend to be Justin’sgirlfriend.
Renee stared at Justin pointedly, but Justin ignored her and spoke to the old man, “Grandpa, you can’tjust give her a cheap dowry, okay? You’d
make me look bad if you do since the Hunt family’s dowry for Renee was a mansion worth billions.What about us? How many billions are we going to spend?”
“Money is too common. Who needs money in this era? Only the Hunt family would do such a thing!”Austin’s expression was filled with disdain when he mentioned the Hunt family of Beach City.novelbin
He raised his chin and proudly pointed at the army who had welcomed her earlier. ‘You are Maurice’sgranddaughter, a general’s heir. You were born with the ability to lead. It’s a shame your father didn’t
inherit your grandfather’s talent, since he chose to do business instead and failed miserably at it. So, Iwant to give you this army to help rebuild the Everheart family to its former glory.”
‘You want to give me… an army?” Renee’s jaw dropped in shock. She thought Austin would offermoney, jewelry, or a house but she never expected him to give her an army!
‘ I trained them myself. Each soldier has their own unique skills, and they are all very accomplished. Inamed them The Army of the Devil… It’s now yours.” He took a medal from his uniform and handed itto Renee, then looked at the soldiers and yelled, “The person who holds this medal will be yourgeneral, and you will only take orders from them. From now on, you will fight every battle for her!”
The minute he finished speaking, the five hundred soldiers saluted at Renee and screamed in unison,‘We swear allegiance to General Everheart!”
Renee initially wanted to refuse, but the fighting spirit she inherited burned in her when she saw thesoldiers.
When she was a child, her grandfather often told her stories of the battlefield, and she used to dreamthat she would one day become a great general who would make her grandfather proud and bringhonor to the Everheart family.
Determined, she held the medal high in the air and roared back, “Men, we fight for honor!”
