After a while, he said slowly, “You’re too naive and can be easily defrauded. I’ll keep the money for you as your future dowry.”
Elva expressed her frustration with a pout. “Olivia’s life is so much better than mine. Edwin and Laura never cut her pocket money.”
After Elva was done speaking, Marcus stared at her for a while.
Elva felt a bit intimidated.
Eventually, Marcus broke into a smile and remarked, “It seems you’re not too happy with me.”
Elva hastily denied it, “No, that’s not true.”

Marcus continued, “Aren’t you jealous of how others get along with their siblings? Leonel was the first person you turned to when you arrived. You didn’t even notice that I was here but when you need money, you magically saw me, isn’t that so?”
Elva was taken aback.
She refrained from talking about the money.
But Leonel took out a checkbook and wrote a check for two million dollars. He gently patted Elva’s head and said, “Let me know if you’re ever short of money.”

Rena whispered to Leonel that such generosity might spoil Elva.
Elva quickly interjected, “No, I won’t be too spoiled.” She then happily tucked the check into her pocket.
Rena glanced over at Alexis.
“I think it’s best if Marcus continues to look after Elva,” Alexis said slowly.
Perhaps this was due to Waylen’s pampering to his youngest daughter, Elva was the only member of the family without responsibilities. And she was so good at spending and wasting money.
This wasn’t a significant issue but still, Elva needed supervision.
Leonel held deep affection for Elva, but he refrained from opposing Alexis’ wishes.
Elva gazed at Leonel with a hopeful look, but he stayed silent this time.
Eventually, Elva returned the check to Leonel and hurried back to Marcus. She softly called out his name to get his attention. He glanced at her and transferred 10@ thousand dollars to her account.
Elva sniffed and said, “Thank you, Marcus.”
Marcus glanced at her and said, “Be more frugal with your spending.
Else, not many will be able to sustain your lifestyle in the future.”
Elva replied with conviction, “Then I’ll take turns living with you, and you’ll have to look after me!”
This brought laughter from Alexis.
