Jane Smith’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. When she raised her glass, she raised her eyebrows at Rachel Grey, who was sitting near and facing her. There was a hint of provocation in her eyes.

In the past, Rachel had never attended Old Mr. Smith’s birthday banquet, so she naturally prepared a gift this year.

Jane especially went to look at the item that Rachel had sent. The packaging of the box looked ordinary, and it was evident that it was not anything valuable.

Rachel noticed Jane’s gaze. Rachel just calmly picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
