Chapter 92

"If one table seats ten people, and there are hundreds of tables, wouldn't that be thousands of people? You have that many relatives?" Daphne asked, totally floored. She was genuinely shocked.

Daphne's reaction made Carlton chuckle. Wesley's family was definitely something else.

After dealing with Anna, some folks started drinking, others chatted about the wedding, and the vibe instantly got livelier.

After getting some insight from Micah, Anna wanted to jump into the conversation so many times, but she had no clue what they were talking about. Frustrated, she looked around, feeling pretty down. Katniss sat down, lovingly stroking the gold earrings Wesley had given her. They were real gold.

Wesley must've dropped a lot of cash on them.

"Do you like gold?" Maximilian asked softly, tilting his head.

Katniss pursed her lips and closed the red velvet box. Rich people always asked the most direct questions. She replied, "Who doesn't?"

Maximilian leaned back in his wheelchair, looking all relaxed and chill, also gazing at Katniss. "Then every year on your birthday, I'll give you some."

"So, do I not get a gift this year?" Katniss asked cautiously after a bit.

It was her 20th birthday, after all.

Maximilian chuckled, lowering his gaze to the gift list in her hand and nodding his chin towards it, "Isn't this enough?"

Katniss frowned, tears of frustration welling up. It was like she could actually keep these things.

They weren't really hers!
