Chapter 817 Her Birthday

She took a deep breath before pressing the elevator’s down button.

“Huh? Oh, it’s Whitney’s birthday. I haven’t prepared a birthday gift for her yet. I’ll have someone deliver the set of jewelry I had custom-made previously. It’s Whitney’s first birthday after marrying into our family, so we must make it grand. I’ll call Lucas right away.”

Jasmine sounded quite excited, which made Whitney rather nervous.

Nonetheless, she didn’t dare interrupt the siblings’ conversation. As such, she could only watch Charles silently.
