The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 60 The Gift Controversy

Since Alexander had already given his birthday gift, Allison was about to hand over hers, but Sloane beat her to it. "Mia, this is the birthday gift I specially prepared for you. It's jewelry I designed myself. I hope you like it!" Sloane bypassed Allison and handed the gift to Mia.

Mia, curious, opened it up. Inside was a Minnie Mouse-shaped pendant made of tiny diamonds. It looked super cartoonish, but it wasn't really Mia's style.

"Thanks, Sloane!" Mia said, not adding much more.

Sloane kept going, "Given my relationship with Alexander, I had to get you the best. The diamonds are all hand-set by me. It's one of a kind, just eight million dollars. I hope you like it!" The guests were a bit taken aback by the eight-million-dollar gift.

Liliana raised an eyebrow. Everyone knew Sloane liked Alexander, and this grand gesture was clearly to impress him. Liliana glanced at Alexander and saw his eyes were all on Allison.

Too bad Alexander wasn't into Sloane at all. They barely interacted before, and now even less.

Thinking of this, Liliana shook her head slightly and said to Mia, "Sloane went to great lengths, Mia. Remember her kindness!"

Mia glanced at Sloane and obediently said, "I will, Mom!"

Sloane was pleased. Her goal was to win over Liliana because she knew Alexander valued his sister. Impressing her was like impressing a future mother-in-law.

Then she turned to Allison with a smug look. "Ms. Bennett, what did you get Mia for her birthday? You two are so close, surely you won't prepare a worthless gift, right? But you're still a student, so it doesn't matter if it's not valuable." Declan and Landon exchanged glances, enjoying the drama. Hunter frowned, clearly annoyed with Sloane. This wasn't a birthday celebration; it was more like stirring up trouble.
