NovelUpdateChapter 840:
Ethan barely flinched, catching the card before calmly placing it right back. “How much can you really afford?
After all your years as a pilot and that ten-thousand-a-month allowance, how much have you actually saved?
How much do Mom and Dad have left after everything? This card holds three hundred million. All your savings
wouldn't even cover a quality dress. Take it, or I'll be the one embarrassed by you.”
Emmett’s glare grew sharper. “You make smoney, and now you want to flaunt it in front of your own family?
You cback here just to humiliate us? If you're so worried about your reputation, you don’t have to attend the
engagement banquet. The guest list is for family and our friends, not your rich acquaintances! Keep your so-
called generosity to yourself.”
Having his son belittle him was infuriating, and Emmett’s anger flared. But this time, Elsa sided with Ethan. She
tried to reason with Emmett and Kenny, saying, “Ethan’s got a point. We reserved the most expensive restaurant
in Shirie for the engagement. Just one day there costs almost five million. Our savings have gone to Kenny's
house and now this engagement. We're stretched thin.”
Despite Ethan's wealth, Emmett had never once accepted money from him. He'd always depended on his own

Even when Ethan tried to send him money during the holidays, Emmett always refused it, returning every cent.
Elsa nudged Emmett gently. “Minna’s still here. Don’t be so stubborn.”
With a huff, Emmett stormed upstairs.
Minna sat quietly, feeling a mix of emotions. She had her heart set on a two-million-dollar dress, but Kenny had
refused to spend that much. Instead, he had picked out a three-thousand-dollar dress for her.
Kenny's pride took a hit. When Minna had brought up the idea of a two-million-dollar dress earlier, he had
snapped at her for being unreasonable. Their parents might be high-ranking officers, but their incomes weren't
as high as outsiders assumed. Dropping two million on a dress for a single night felt like madness to him.
Minna had suggested asking Ethan for smoney. Kenny had flatly rejected it. He swore he'd never rely on
someone else’s money for his wedding, insisting they should stick to what they could afford.
Elsa had planned to dip into her secret stash of savings to help. Before she could do anything, though, Ethan
showed up.

Ethan always tried to help Emmett financially, but his father had never accepted a cent. Ethan had also given
Elsa money from tto time. Elsa had quietly received all that money, but Emmett had no idea of it. So, earlier,
when everyone had dismissed the two-million-dollar dress as too expensive, Elsa had kept quiet about her
hidden funds. Her husband always reminded her that as a military family, they should keep things modest and
simple.
