Chapter 42
Louis’s childish voice sounded pure and innocent, but it made everyone present change their expressions.
“Children are reckless. Everyone, please don’t take it to heart. We will be on our way out.” Stuart pulled Louis away and closed the door for them.
However, the atmosphere was very awkward.
They were indeed doing business but in the name of marriage.

They were all smart, so no one would reveal their true purpose. Not only did they have to get the benefits they wanted, but they also had to maintain their dignity.
However, Louis’s words exposed them.
Celine let out a clear laugh, intending to ease the embarrassment in the room.
She said, “All that was given to the Vaughn family is considered a wedding gift from our Montgomery family to Juliette. Of course, this is not all.
“Before we came, Finn and I also sorted out the real estate in our names, including sea–view villas, garden houses, etc. Juliette can choose one of them to be her and Finn’s future residence. The house will belong to Juliette.”
As Celine spoke, she actually took out a list of properties and handed it to Juliette.
The Vaughn family all looked at Juliette, their eyes urging her to choose quickly and be content with what she was given.
Juliette took the list but didn’t look at it. Instead, she turned it over on the dining table.
She thought, ‘Did the Vaughn family think that the Montgomery family was really going to give them so much?
“The Montgomery family just wants to take this opportunity to enter the entertainment industry and gradually erode the Vaughn family’s resources.’
She said, “A property is not important. Even if you didn’t give me one, I have plenty of houses in my name.”
The smile on Celine’s face stiffened.
She asked, “What do you want, Juliette?”
“I think what that child said just now was right. The Montgomery family wants to offer wedding gifts, but why are you giving them to my family instead? No matter how I look at it, it looks like you are talking business. Finn and I are going to get married. Finn, you can’t let me down.”
Juliette looked at Finn with an aggrieved expression. She seemed to wait for him to stand up for her.
Finn frowned. He didn’t like Juliette’s attitude at that moment.
However, the look she just had was really alluring. He could feel the heat rushing inside him.
Finn pursed his lips and asked, “What do you mean?”
Juliette didn’t speak, only looked at him quietly.

Chapter 42
Finn’s eldest brother, Laurence, said, “Do you want the money to go directly to you, Juliette?”
Juliette blinked blankly. “Well… why not? After all, Finn is marrying me, not the Vaughn family.”
The Montgomerys were silent, even Celine pursed her lips.
Juliette continued, “Besides, I will eventually return the wedding gift back to you. My parents will give you gifts of equal value as a start–up fund for our married life. Right, Dad?”
Mason fell silent.
Juliette said, “In our country, both parties of marriage will offer wedding gifts to each other. Although the Vaughn family is not as wealthy as the Montgomery family, we are not short of money. My father will definitely offer a corresponding gift.”
“Yes, indeed,” Vaughn said.
However, the gift he had prepared was to finance the construction of the film set together with the Montgomery family.
Ultimately, the Vaughn family would benefit from this investment.
Juliette’s interests had never been part of his consideration.
What he was thinking was that the Vaughn family would reach new heights. As a consequence, Juliette would share the glory of her family.
“Finn, my dad said he would give a gift. What else do you have to worry about?” Juliette stared at Finn innocently.
Finn exchanged glances with Celine. The two quickly reached an agreement.

The wedding gifts would go to Juliette. After all, Juliette would join them after she married Finn. What she had would belong to the Montgomery family.
Finn smiled gently. “Juliette is right. The wedding gift is for you, so it should be in your name.”
“It doesn’t have to be directly in my name,” Juliette said, “Aren’t you building a studio to make movies? We can register a company in my name and put the studio and the three films under it. Then you can be the investor. How does that sound?” Finn frowned in thought for a moment. He exchanged glances with Celine and nodded in agreement.
Juliette turned to her father. “Dad, you’ll give me a gift too, right? You built a perfume company for Bianca. I’m your biological daughter. You wouldn’t treat me worse, would you?”
Mason really didn’t want to give her anything.
Juliette was going to be married off. Once he gave something to Juliette, it would be difficult to get it back.
But he was in a difficult position now. He couldn’t refuse without seeming like he was selling his daughter.
“Dad, why aren’t you saying anything? I don’t believe you love Bianca more than your own daughter.” Juliette was feeling very wronged and on the verge of tears.
Mason hurriedly said, “What are you talking about? I was just thinking about what kind of gift to give you. You are my precious daughter.”
Juliette said, “2.7 billion dollars is definitely not enough to shoot three films and television dramas and build a film studio.

Dad, can you also invest some money for me?”
Mason realized that the Montgomery family was all looking at him.

He couldn’t let the Montgomery family know that he wanted to get his hands on their resources.
So, Mason had no choice but to say, “Okay, I will. I’ll invest along with the Montgomery family.”
Juliette said, “Then I will choose a location and start building the studio tomorrow. This way, the studio can be put into use sooner, and it will become a testament to my happy marriage with Finn.
“I’ll find someone to register the company tomorrow and open a company account. Then, Finn and Dad can transfer the money to the company account, and we can start construction soon.”
Juliette had a delighted smile on her face.
The Montgomery family all laughed along, while the Vaughn family couldn’t quite bring themselves to smile, but they still had to force a smile.
After dinner, Juliette walked out of the private room while deliberately holding Celine’s arm.
She asked, “Celine, do you think I’m being too greedy?”
Celine smiled kindly. “How could I? This is the wedding gift you deserve, and it is also our way of showing our sincerity.”
“Thank you. It is my honor to have a future mother–in–law like you. In fact, the main reason I did this is for Finn.”
“Really?” Celine stopped, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Others thought they were chatting and didn’t listen.
Juliette lowered her voice and said, “My parents prefer Bianca. They started a perfume company for her, but they didn’t give me anything.
“You are going to give 2.7 billion to my parents, but I can’t bring back any gifts with me. I feel very guilty.
“So I thought about starting my own company. As long as it is in my name, the company will also belong to the Montgomery family after I marry Finn. I don’t want the Montgomery family to end up losing a ton after Finn marries me.”
