The cameras clicked rapidly as Shannon walked with linked arms with Hector into the theme park. Along the sides of the path, bubble machines began to release a continuous stream of bubbles.
In the sunlight, the colorful bubbles danced around her, enveloping her in a magical aura, as though she were stepping into a fairy tale world.
Compared to the admiration of those around her, Shannon appeared calm on the surface, but the emotions in her eyes were hard to conceal.
She knew Adam and Hector planned a party for her, but she didn't expect it to be this big.
She was never one to chase after romantic things, nor had she ever mentioned she loved princess castles. Yet, for some reason, her family kept offering her fantastical and romantic things.
Perhaps it was a form of compensation… or a way for her to choose what she liked. She hadn't liked any of those things for the past 18 years because she had never experienced them.
Therefore, they wanted her to have a full experience and decide whether she liked them.
She used to be indifferent to the coldness shown by her so-called family, but now, she was grateful to find her true backbone. For the first time in 18 years, she acknowledged how amazing her fate was. She was undoubtedly the favored one by the universe.
Shannon gazed at Hector, her eyes trembled slightly, flickering with tiny shards of light. After a long while, she asked, "This… must've cost a lot."
Sure, the Jensen family was wealthy, and she had gotten used to receiving pocket money from them, but she had yet to adapt to this lavish lifestyle.
Forget about the beautiful flowers in the amusement park, just the nearly six-foot-tall castle cake placed in the center of the venue would cost at least a hundred thousand, right?
For a moment, she had no words to describe her feelings. She was moved, but… this was unnecessary. What could she do with a theme park? To entertain her phantom helpers?
Still, she couldn't utter a word about Hector wasting unnecessary money now that she met his smiling gaze. She softened her tone and said, "I love it."
It was her first time receiving such a special gift—a huge one, at that.
He burst into a charming smile. "I knew you would."
"Of course, I'm the one who knows my sister best. Benjamin's nameable piece of rock is nothing compared to my theme park!" he thought.
