"Is this ring the only token of sincerity you're offering for your proposal? In Chinese tradition, a proper marriage proposal includes a dowry. You show up empty-handed and want to marry away the jewel of the Diaz family—isn't that just a bit arrogant?"

"I've already arranged for my lawyer to transfer 5% equity of IDGM Capital to Sophy's name. Properties in Hokkaido, at the harbor, and S.T. have been purchased under her and Laura's names, including the shop she currently runs. If necessary, I can also set up a separate cash account and transfer a sum of money directly. You may name the amount—it can serve as the traditional dowry."
