Chapter 758
Recalling Anna’s deranged outburst just moments ago, Silas felt a heavy weight settle in his chest.
He turned around and looked at Serena.
The normally imposing and authoritative patriarch of the Vinton family bowed at the waist, right in front of everyone.
He offered Serena a deep, respectful bow.
“Serena, I thank you for saving Holden, and I thank you for cleansing the Vinton family of that disgrace p>
“I am also deeply sorry for what that monster did to you. It was my failure as a father p>
His tone was incredibly sincere.
Straightening up, he pulled a diamond-encrusted black card from his wallet and held it out to her. “This is the Vinton Obsidian Card. It has no limit. Please accept it as a token of my apology p>
“From this day forward, you are the sole heiress of the Vinton family. No one will ever dare disrespect you again p>
When the card-the ultimate symbol of the Vinton family’s wealth and status-was offered to Serena, her expression didn’t change in the slightest.
She merely glanced at it before looking up at Silas’s guilt-ridden face.
She didn’t take it. “I appreciate the sentiment p>
“I saved him because he’s my grandfather p>
“As for Anna… she got the ending she deserved. The matter is settled p>
She lazily fluttered her eyelashes and chuckled. “Besides, I’m not exactly hurting for money p>
Silas could tell she genuinely had zero interest in the Obsidian Card.
A flash of embarrassment crossed his face. He had absolutely no idea what girls her age actually liked.
He figured money was the most practical gift. She could just buy whatever she wanted.
That way, he didn’t have to waste time researching teenage trends.
But… his niece didn’t want it.
What was he supposed to give her?
Silas racked his brain, his hand still awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
Douglas watched his normally stoic, authoritative older brother standing there like a complete idiot.
He couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
“Silas, save it. Your pocket change might impress a sheltered girl like Isabella, but that’s about it.” He shoved his hands into his pockets and strolled over.
He casually snatched the black card right out of Silas’s hand and slipped it into his own pocket.
His eyes gleamed with
schadenfreude. “You’re really out of
the loop. Just a few minutes
Master Langford gifted her a
priceless, heirloom set of
acupuncture needles. Money literally can’t buy them p>
“And over there, Dr. Arthur Smith, the world’s top neurosurgeon, was practically begging to transfer the
deed to his private island over to her. He said it would be a nice, quiet
place for her to relax p>
“Oh, and those guys over there? They showered her with a whole assortment of priceless artifacts. Your little credit card looks a bit pathetic in comparison p>
Douglas patted his brother on the shoulder. And the kicker? All those gifts were just their ‘tuition fees to watch Serena perform a single surgery So yeah she really doesn’t need your money p>
Silas stared at him. Then why did you put the card in your pocket p>
Douglas patted his pocket, flashing a highly punchable grin. “This is my consultation fee. Now you know exactly how incredible our Serena is. Worth every penny, right p>
Silas was speechless.
He knew Serena was capable, but he hadn’t fully grasped the scale of her influence.
Hearing Douglas break it down, it dawned on him that his massive fortune as the head of the Vinton Group wasn’t even enough to catch his niece’s attention.
The sheer defeat he felt in that moment stung worse than a total stock market crash.
