Barclay pulled Moira towards him, avoiding Cynthia's embrace.

Moira hadn't expected Cynthia to be so enthusiastic, wanting to hug her as soon as they met.

Were all heiresses this enthusiastic now? Clearly not. Cynthia seemed quite disdainful of Barclay standing beside Moira.

However, Moira wasn't happy either. She had casually mentioned that Cynthia seemed off, but now she was starting to suspect that Cynthia had ulterior motives.

Barclay said coldly, "I accompanied my wife here."

Upon hearing his words, Moira quickly handed over the gift to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere. "Ms. Hurst, happy birthday! I wasn't sure what you liked, so this is just a random gift I prepared." She thought, 'See, I'm being so casual, so you should be too, Ms. Hurst.'

However, things didn't go as planned. Cynthia's eyes lit up when she heard Moira's words. "Really? Is it a gift for me?"

Moira was stunned.

"I'm so happy! Thank you, Ms. Jim... Mrs. Covington!" Cynthia took the gift. "Let's go inside!"

As she spoke, she reached out to take Moira's hand.

"Ms. Hurst, please refrain from so much physical contact with my wife," Barclay interjected at the right moment, instantly cooling down the atmosphere that had just been eased. Cynthia looked displeasedly at Barclay. "Can't I take your wife inside?"

Barclay replied, "No, I'll take her."
