Chapter 202
Flora had managed to embarrass the Brimer family in front of everyone, and Yvonne just couldn’t let it go. She wasn’t one to back down without getting even. She’d already tampered with the gift meant for the Irving family’s celebration.
As everyone’s curious eyes watched, Raul had someone bring out the gift. The elegant box was opened, revealing an emerald pendant broken into two pieces. Silence fell over the room. All eyes were glued to the broken pendant.
The emerald was clearly of high quality, a valuable item. But now, with a big crack down the middle, it was ruined. Emerald is known for its healing properties and spirituality, but a broken plece is seen as a bad omen.
Grandpa Josiah, being a devout man, saw the broken emerald and his face darkened.
“Flora, what is the meaning of this? You sent Grandpa Josiah a broken emerald pendant!”
Raul and Henrik exchanged worried glances, their brows furrowed. They instantly knew they’d been set up. They had taken good care of the pendant, and even if it had been bumped around, it shouldn’t have broken like this. This was clearly sabotage.
Just then, Flora spoke up, “Dad, you must have grabbed the wrong gift. What we meant for Grandpa Josiah wasn’t this at all! Please wait, Grandpa Josiah, I’ll go get the real gift.”
Flora signaled Raul and Henrik to stay calm, assuring them she had a plan, and then she hurried out of the banquet hall. Connor gave Moss a look, signaling him to follow Flora
Yvonne watched Flora leave with a cold sneer. She didn’t believe Flora could whip up another gift in such a short time. Even if she did, it surely wouldn’t be presentable. This way, the Irving family
would still end up embarrassed, just like the Brimers!
Flora rushed to the entrance, found the Irving family’s car, and took out a large gift box from the trunk. She hurried back to the banquet hall. Moss was waiting at the entrance, handing her a gift bag. “Ms. Flora, this is a special gift Mr. Connor prepared.”
Flora opened the gift bag and saw a fine piece of emerald. Connor had managed to prepare such a fine gift in such a short time, which was quite impressive. Flora felt touched.
Connor was always like this, not one for words, but proving his care through actions. No matter the situation, he was always there, silently protecting her. With him around, there was nothing to fear. “Thank him for me, but it’s not necessary. I’ve already got a gift.”
Holding the large gift box, Flora jogged back into the banquet hall. She was quick, taking only about five minutes to retrieve the gift. Everyone was waiting, eager to see what the Irving family’s gift would be. But more so, they were there for the drama.
When Flora returned, all eyes were on the large box in her hands. Curiosity filled the room, and everyone wondered what kind of gift Flora could have prepared in such a short time. Raul and Henrik were also worried
“Sir, I gave Ms. Flora the gift you prepared, but she didn’t take it. It seems she already had a gift ready.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
