Chapter 14 Embarrassing the Kingsley Family At the Kingsley family dinner table , everything seemed perfect and eerful .
After lunch , the Kingsleys invited everyone to the backyard for somen The autumn weather was just right , with a cool breeze adding a touch of class Theodore , weve known each other for years , so Ill get straight to the point , Nathaniel said once the servants had pred the Theodore nodded , Of course , go ahead .
As for Cecilia and Dominic wedding , well follow your lead .
wo Then I wont hold back , Nathaniel said warmly .
The wedding is new month , and we wont cut any corners .
After all , the Kingsley family and the Lockhart family are two of the top families in Serenoa City .
We cant just have a simple ceremony .
Well cover the cost of the wedding and the reception .
All the gifts received will go to Cecilia and Dominic Sounds good , Theodore agreed .
Genevieve also chimed in .
As for the wedding gifts , lets not play guessing games .
If you have hy specific needs , just let us know , and well do our best to meet them .
Nathaniel said sincerely .
Theodore replied , Youre already covering the banquet , which is a big expense .
Besides , Cecilia is our only daughter .
Everything we have will eventually be hers .
We dont have any specific needs .
Lets see if Cecilia has any suggestions .
Cecilia , catching Theodores hint , quickly said , No , the wedding is just about being happy .
As long as everyone is happy , I have no other requests .
Is there anything you particularly want ? I can buy it for you , Dominics mother , Octavia Kingsley , quickly added .
Cecilia glanced at Octavia .
All she could think about were the times Octavia pretended to care , forcing her to take pills and pressuring her to have a child for the Kingsley family .
It wasnt until her death that Cecilia discovered the so called medicine was made from the corpses of disgusting insects .
Every time she drank it , she would vomit and have diarrhea for days .
Yet , she endured it for eight years , hoping to bear a child for the Kingsley family .
Suppressing the anger in her eyes , Cecilia said , I originally only like that sapphire , and now I have it .
I dont need anything else .
The mention of the sapphire was clearly a sore spot for the Kingsley family .
Cecilias words visibly changed the expressions of everyone in the Kingsley family .
Fortunately , the Kingsley family members were good at hiding their true feelings .
They quickly brushed off the uncomfortable topic .
In that case , I wont make a fuss .
Anyway , in the future , Cecilia will be part of our family when she marries in , so feel free to come to me if you need anything , Octavia said .
Thank you , Octavia , Cecilia responded politely .
Then the wedding gift is settled .
We dont have any other requests .
As long as the kids are happy , thats all that matters , Nathaniel paused , looking troubled , and sighed heavily before continuing .
However , there is one thing I need to ask for your help with .
1/3 Chapter 14 Embarrassing the Kingsley Family Just say it , Theodore responded generously .
Recently , the Kingstoy family has been working on an e commerce project .
Initially , there were no financial Issues , but we now face the unfortunate timing of a bank loan repayment .
This has caused hortfall in the projects funding .
We planned to take out Another loan from the bank , but the bank has been tight on funds ned has rejected us multiple times .
After much thought , we decided that instead of asking others for help , wed come to you .
After all , the Kingsley family will eventually belong to Dominic , and once Dominic and Cecilia are married , it will be theirs .
Although its a bit difficult to ask , it seems appropriate .
Nathaniels words sounded grandiose .
In the previous life , when the Kingsley family faced financial difficies , the Lockhart family indeed provided substantial support .

said that , they had no to refund .
In fact , with Nathaniel having said th Theodore glanced at Cecilia .
Cecilia nodded .
Only then did Theodore say , Were all family , so helping out is natural , How much is the Kingsley familys shortfall this time ? After some preliminary calculations , its about $ 300 million , Nathaniel said nonchalantly , as if it were a small amount .
Of course , its not that the Lockhart family couldnt come up with the money , but this amount was definitely not something they could spend frivolously .
Cecilia smiled and asked , As far as I know , the Kingsley familys e commerce project requires exactly $ 300 million .
Uncle Nathaniel , are you saying you cant come up with a single penny ? Nathaniel looked a bit embarrassed .
He hadnt expected Cecilia to know about the project , let alone bring it up directly Her point was clear : the project was essentially being funded by the Lockhart family , while the Kingsley family were lining their pockets .
Everyone here was a businessman .
No one would accept such a deal ! The atmosphere grow tense .
Dominic quickly explained , The Kingsley familys stock market took a dive , and to stabilize it , we had to divert some funds .
I see , Cecilia said , as if she suddenly understood .
It was impossible to see that she knew the Kingsley familys stock market stabilization only required a few million dollars , a negligible amount compared to $ 300 million .
Dominic , seeing Cecilias expression , secretly breathed a sigh of relief .
He thought Cecilia knew a lot about it , but now it seemed that maybe she just heard about the project from hearsay .
How could a woman like Cecilia , who was hell bent on marrying him , know anything about business ? Dad , since the Kingsley family is facing difficulties with their investment project , we should help them , Cecilia said to Theodore .
Dominic smirked slyly He knew Cecilia was still the foolish woman he could easily manipulate .
2/3 Chapter 14 Embarrassing the Kingsley Family Theodore couldnt understand Cecilia either .
She had clearly called the engagement hut now wanted to help .
Despite his many doubts , he nodded , Since well all be family , of course , well help .
Then I must thank you , Theodore .
Of course , I wont borrow the mey for free .
Once the project is profitable , well repay you first thing .
Nathaniel said quickly , grinning from ear to ear .
But what if it incurs a loss ? Cecilia suddenly asked , as if it were a casual remark .
Nathaniel awkwardly smiled , The project has been thoroughly vetted ; theres no chance of a loss .
In business , nothing is certain , Cecilia mumsired , then gave Donice an innocent smile , Right , Dominie ? Yes , but weve made comprehensive plans for this project .
Dont way , It wont incur a loss , Dominic reassured her gently .
If it does incur a loss , you wont be able to repay the $ 300 million , will you ? How could that happen ? Nathaniel quickly said , The Kingsley family isnt built on a single project .
Even if this one fails , we have other sources of income .
We can definitely repay the $ 300 million .
Since Uncle Nathaniel insists on repaying , lets write an IOU , Cecil said with a slight smile .
