NovelOnlineJenna stepped up, unwrapping each gift with a grin. "I swear, the number of wedding checks today is insane. Our hands are going to be sore from opening all these!" Colby sighed, "If you're going to open them, do it outside. Don't ruin our wedding night." Jenna shot back, "Are you kidding? The highlight of the wedding night is definitely opening the checks!" Adler chimed in, "We're here to help you out. Once we get through these thousand checks, you guys can crash." Colby was on the verge of kicking them out when Sophie intervened, "It might be fun to open them, Colby. What do you say?" Seeing the excitement in Sophie's eyes, Colby gave in, "Alright." The five of them settled around the bed, with Colby sitting across from Sophie, helping her collect the opened gifts.

Sophie was astonished; she hadn't expected all the gifts to be bank cards.
"Whoa, someone actually gave cash." Sandy picked up a $500 check, laughing loudly, "Wonder which idiot thought this was a good idea. Isn't this a slap in the face to the Costello family?"

Angelo, frustrated, poked Sandy's head, "You really are my sister!" Sophie watched, chuckling as she picked up the gift Harold had prepared for her. Remembering his instruction to open it herself, she carefully unwrapped it to find a deep blue sapphire, unmounted and just lying there.
Jenna, surprised, remarked, "This sapphire is stunning. Harold outdid himself." Adler added, "I don't know much about jewelry, but it looks pricey." "But... why does this sapphire seem familiar?" Jenna's words sparked Sophie's curiosity. She examined the sapphire and suddenly remembered the sapphire ring Colby had given her. Sophie took the ring from her bag and compared it with the sapphire in the box. The color was identical.
