Chapter 148: Chapter 148: A Girl’s Mouth, Full of Lies

Lady Stephens pinched Daisy’s shoulder, speaking mournfully, "Daisy, you haven’t come by for so many days, and you didn’t even call to chat with Auntie. Auntie has been waiting for your call every day at home."

Her tone was as pitiful as the wife abandoned by a scoundrel.

Daisy chuckled endlessly, "I’ve been pretty busy with work lately..."

"Being busy doesn’t mean you can’t call Auntie!"

Daisy could only obediently admit she was at fault, "I’m sorry, it won’t happen again."

Lady Stephens was satisfied this time, came over to sit beside Daisy, held one of her hands in her palm, and placed it on her own lap, gently patting the back of her hand, "Daisy has been married here for so long, and I seem to not have given anything worthwhile so far. Just recently, I’ve been tidying up the house and found a jade bracelet. I think the size is just right."

Saying this, Daisy then felt something cool being slipped onto her right hand.

She lowered her head, glanced at the jade bracelet, and was startled, instinctively pressing Lady Stephens’ hand, "Auntie, I can’t accept it! This... is too valuable!"

The bracelet on her right wrist was bright green all over, with vivid colors, crystal-clear. Even if one is not an expert, they can see at a glance that this bracelet is meant to be a family heirloom.

Jade is priceless, a pendant with good water will easily reach a million, and Lady Stephens’ gift probably exceeds tens of millions.

She couldn’t possibly just accept such an expensive gift, stubbornly refusing to take it.

Lady Stephens looked at her gloomily, saying, "Daisy thinks Auntie’s gift is too old-fashioned? I know you young people don’t fancy these old antiques..."

Daisy got goosebumps from her gloomy tone, "Auntie, no need, I’ll remember to come visit you often in the future."

Lady Stephens: "You girls lie so much with your sweet talk, walking out the door and forgetting everything!"
