Chapter 79 A Loving Father Often Ruins His Daughter
"Put those rows there, and move these rows over here."
"Be gentle, gentle! Everyone, pay attention, don't snag the diamonds on the dress!"
"Arrange the little foxes by size. Alright, take them in."
While waiting for the test results, William found himself liking Emily more and more.
With just one word from him, all the major brands immediately delivered dresses, outfits, and bags suitable for a one-year-old girl to the Johnson Villa. Styles not available domestically were immediately sourced from headquarters and flown to Empire City by private jet.
At this moment, dozens of vehicles were densely parked outside the Johnson Villa.
Staff members in black suits and white gloves carried bags full of luxury goods.
There were also Emily's favorite pink foxes - the latest models from all parks worldwide, in every size, all bought out completely.
The Johnson Villa living room.
William sat on the sofa holding Emily with one arm. Emily curiously watched the boxes and people filling the living room.
Before entering, the top salespeople from each brand had already hung up all the clothing. Now they showed their standard service smiles, respectfully introducing the dress designs to Emily.
James and Michael sat on a nearby sofa. Looking at the dizzying array of colorful dresses, they still carefully helped pick dresses for Emily.
Michael pointed to a pink dress covered in diamonds and said, "Dad, this dress sparkles. Emily would definitely look good in it."
James also quickly selected one, saying, "Dad, I think this white one looks nice. It has little fish on it that Emily likes to eat."
William looked down and asked Emily, "Which ones does Emily like?"
In Emily's closet, there were various little dresses bought by her mother and godmother - she could wear a new one every day and never run out.
But girls, no matter what age, always have room in their closet for one more favorite dress.
Emily waved her hand boldly, "All of them."
Adults have to choose, but she's a child - of course, she wants them all.
William didn't think there was anything wrong with Emily's response. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, we'll keep them all then."
The brand salespeople's eyes lit up instantly, looking at Emily as if she were their golden patron.
Just as the luxury clothing staff left the living room, a group of jewelry salespeople entered carrying luxury gift boxes.
They knelt on one knee, opening the top luxury collections they'd brought.
Under the lights, precious stones of different colors sparkled brilliantly, yet never outshone William's deep eyes, which were like black obsidian - understated and restrained yet unable to hide their endless brilliance.
William looked tenderly at Emily in his arms, making a firm decision.
Even if Emily wasn't his biological daughter, he would still dote on her like a little princess. If she were his daughter... then anything in this world she wanted, he would do everything possible to bring to her.
"Mr. Smith, this is a rabbit diamond crown specially designed for Ms. Smith by our group's chief designer."
"Ms. Smith, look, this is our classic children's pink diamond bracelet. The bling bling on it is all little diamonds. If you like it, you can wear it right now."
Salespeople from major jewelry brands all used child-friendly tones to pitch their brand's jewelry to Emily.
There were also luxury watch salespeople, taking out limited edition watches designed for the brand's 100th anniversary, saying to James and Michael, "James and Michael, this watch has a sibling set. You can wear matching watches with Emily, and they come with a tracking system that connects to your parents' phones."
James and Michael's eyes lit up as they turned to look at William.
He nodded slightly, looking at James and Michael with a father's loving gaze.
"Keep them all."
Hearing this, the salespeople's eyes sparkled like diamonds - they'd exceeded their annual sales target in just one day.
"Yes, Mr. Smith!"
For someone like William, time is money, yet he was willing to spend so much time helping the children pick clothes, his attention focused as if he were signing a cooperation deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The salespeople all speculated in their hearts: Mr. Smith has gained a daughter and is overjoyed!
Starting from today.
People in their circle received a subtle message.
Peace Group's CEO, William, after having two precious sons, now had a daughter.
Everyone speculated about who this woman was who had given William a daughter.
As the news spread, it reached the ears of the Smith family elders.
Of course, that's a story for later.
At this moment, the Johnson family's butler, Allan, seeing that Emily's closet was nearly full, thought about it and decided to tell Sophia in the study about the situation downstairs.
After all, at the rate William was buying things, they'd need several more villas just to store these gifts.
When Sophia came downstairs, she saw the living room full of luxury gift boxes. Emily wore an all-diamond princess crown on her head, diamond-studded bracelets on her hands, and James and Michael were putting a watch on her.
Several empty gift boxes sat on the coffee table, their contents now all worn by Emily.
Emily thought James and Michael were playing dress-up dolls with her and cooperated enthusiastically. A priceless bracelet fell to the floor at one point, and none of the three children cared.
The key point was! William thought these things weren't enough and had Tony contact relevant brands for custom orders. Before he'd even hung up the phone, he heard Sophia's voice containing suppressed anger.
"William Smith!"
Emily had been nestled in William's arms the whole time, holding up both little hands, letting James and Michael put rings on her fingers.
Yes, children's rings too!
Rubies, green emeralds, top luxury blue diamonds... all ten fingers were fully adorned.
Just like her doll's accessories.
Sophia's voice made everyone in the living room look up at her simultaneously.
William asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Michael held up a diamond-covered bracelet and said with a smile, "Mom, these are toys Dad bought for Emily."
Emily also waved her hands, "Mommy, pretty."
Sophia's breathing grew heavier for a moment. She held back from showing her displeasure in front of the three children and said to William through gritted teeth, "Come with me to the study. I have something important to discuss with you."
She emphasized the word "discuss" particularly heavily.
Compared to Sophia's cold indifference toward him these past few days, William cherished her liveliness and initiative at this moment.
He patted James's head and said, "James, you stay with Michael and Emily. Dad and Mom are going to talk about something."
William carefully placed Emily on the sofa and gave her several gemstone necklaces.
He said softly, "Emily, be good. You can play with these things, but don't put them in your mouth, okay?"
Emily looked at him and nodded, "Eat them, tummy ache."
William followed Sophia upstairs to the study.
As soon as he closed the door, he heard her angry words, "Emily is only a year old. Why are you buying her so many clothes and jewelry?"
William replied calmly, "They're just little trinkets. What's wrong with buying them for the child to play with?"
A phrase immediately came to Sophia's mind.
A doting father spoils his daughter!
