Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Chapter 35

All eyes in the grand hall turned toward the large, mysterious box being wheeled in, including Liam.

As the cart rolled closer, a rich, intoxicating fragrance filled the air.

Liam immediately recognized the scent–it was all too familiar. His eyes narrowed slightly as his mind flashed back to that night just a few days ago.

He turned sharply to Victor. “You little punk,” he said. “Is this what you’ve been tinkering with in your room these past few days?”

Victor grinned and nodded. “That’s right. I worked hard to keep it a surprise. You have no idea how much effort it took. I was constantly worried you or the butler would get nosy and break into my room for a peek.”

Liam let out a chuckle, shaking his head. “Enough with the smooth talk,” he said, waving a hand. “Show me what it is already.”

Liam was certainly curious, but not to the point of prying the door open for a peek–after all, it was his own house.

Victor reached for the black cloth covering the box and carefully pulled it away. Beneath the cloth was a glass case, and inside sat a stunning orchid.

A collective gasp rippled through the room.

The orchid stood tall and poised, like a refined lady at a grand ball.

Its leaves were so lush and vibrant that they looked as if they could drip with morning dew.

The flower itself was breathtaking, so beautiful it almost seemed unreal.

Liam shot to his feet, circling the orchid with wide–eyed admiration.

The guests exchanged glances–there was no doubt about it. This gift had struck right at his heart.

Victor lifted a hand. “Wait, Dad,” he said. “Sit back down for a second. There’s another surprise.”

Liam hesitated for a moment before reluctantly settling back into his chair.

The room fell into an expectant hush.

Victor, still wearing that knowing smile, grasped both sides of the glass case. With deliberate care, he lifted it. The moment the glass was removed, the fragrance inside rushed out in full force, saturating the air in an instant.
