Chapter 174
Jennifer thought 80 million was a lot, but Peter calmly said, “Well, he should give more… I don’t even think it’s a lot when converted to billion.”
Jennifer was at a loss.
She didn’t think she was worth that much money.
Especially for Brayan.
“Since he didn’t give you a hard time and you could accept the money, why are you still worried?”
Jennifer was stunned, looking at Peter in surprise.
Did she look troubled before?
Originally, Peter was just a colleague or boss to Jennifer.
Although we have known each other for a long time, we can’t really call each other “close friends.”
Jennifer never thought she would get so close to Peter.
No secrets, she told Peter straight up that she transferred 10% of Brayan’s shares to her in the divorce agreement.
Peter burst out laughing.
“Do you know how many people were willing to do anything to get a share of the LeBlanc Group?”
“But I really don’t want to.”

“Just take it, no harm done.”
Jennifer naturally understood what Peter was saying, but she always felt that having this share involved would complicate things. Even if she and Brayan were divorced and no longer a couple, they still had to work together.
The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt. She tilted her head back and downed the margarita in one gulp.
Sitting next to her, Peter was staring at Jennifer with his chin resting on his hand, his feelings for her were hard to hide.
“Jennifer…”
When Jennifer looked over, Peter looked away again.
He took out a gift box from his pants pocket and handed it to Jennifer.
“I was thinking of giving this to you during dinner.”
“Can’t just take things for no reason,” Jennifer wanted to decline, but heard Peter say:
“It’s just a gift, congratulating you on the success of the seal you designed at the conference.”
Peter said so, Jennifer had to accept it.
She opened the gift box.
The box looked a bit like a ring box.
Jennifer opened it up and, sure enough, there was a ring inside.
She looked at Peter with some surprise.
Do you remember when she quit before? Peter also gave her a gift, it

was jewelry too, but not a ring, it was a brooch.
A man giving a woman a ring as a gift always seems to make people think too much.
Jennifer saw Peter acting normal and thought to herself, “Maybe Peter is just used to dealing with jewelry all the time, so he’s not as sensitive.”
“No need to worry.” Peter saw Jennifer hesitating, so he explained, “I am a jewelry maker myself, and besides jewelry, I don’t know what gift is good for a girl. This ring is very casual, with a daisy design, not worth much money, but the craftsmanship is good. I think it should be suitable for you to wear to work.”
Peter said so much, Jennifer didn’t know how to respond for a moment, so she just said “Thank you.”
Actually, Peter’s original plan was to give Jennifer a custom–made piece of jewelry.
But then he remembered that he had never seen Jennifer wear the brooch he had given her before.
Apart from attending special occasions, Jennifer usually dresses very simply and doesn’t wear any jewelry.
Therefore, Peter changed his mind and chose a style suitable for daily
wear.
But in order to leave a special impression of this daily style in Jennifer’s heart, he took a risk and chose a ring.
Jennifer wanted to put the ring away, but she saw Peter keep suggesting it was suitable for daily wear. So, she ended up just putting away the ring box and slipping the ring onto her left ring finger.

As for the different meanings of wearing rings on different fingers of the left and right hands, Jennifer never paid attention to it and didn’t
care.
She didn’t wear it on her right hand just because she’s right–handed and usually uses her right hand for work.
Today is the Double Ninth Festival.
Jennifer brought a box of osmanthus cakes, two roast chickens, a box of milk, and her own stewed tomato beef brisket and steamed prawns to Spring Nursing Home.
Her mom, Emma Griffin, lived here all the time.
Before setting up her own studio, she used to visit her mom every week, but since starting her own company, she can only come to visit once a month.
Today was a holiday, Jennifer rarely cooked.
On one hand, she brought some food she cooked herself for her mom, and on the other hand, she came to settle the fees for the nursing home.
The nursing home was originally found by Brayan.
It’s the most expensive and best nursing home in all of Nexford, with very professional equipment and staff.
