Chapter 191

Everyone at the birthday party was looking at Wynn with contempt and disdain in their eyes. Eric and Aaron’s gifts that were presented moments before were extremely valuable. Then, Ted announced the shocking news of attaining the Oasis development project at the south of Riverdale. He would be making 500 million for the Yates! Now, it was Wynn’s turn. What gift would her family be presenting today? Martha sat on her seat, extremely nervous. She saw what Wynn was holding. It was the box that Philip had previously given to her. If Wynn gave that thing to her father, it would be the biggest joke of the century. Everyone would look at them as if they were fools! Eric stared at Wynn with mockery on his face. He looked at the small box in her hands and the smirk on his face got wider. He lifted his eyebrow and said, “Cousin, it’s Grandpa’s 70th birthday today. Are you really going to give this tiny box to him? What valuable item can it hold?” Eric snorted in his head.

What kind of gift could he afford? When he thought about this, his smirk grew wider. He was waiting to watch Wynn and Philip make fools of themselves.

Jess could not watch this anymore. She glared at the two of them angrily.

However, the older they got, the more they distanced themselves from each other. After all, she was not one of the Yates. There might not be any relations between them anymore. This was the nature of human relationships. Under everyone’s gaze, Wynn walked into the hall and handed the box to Bob. His face was cold when Wynn said, “Grandpa, this

important occasion. However, she did not think that it would be something very valuable. After all, Philip had run away from home. He would not have much money. Bob nodded and grunted a reply. He did not even take the box. Wynn felt awkward. Everyone at the table was

made from jade!” His words were laced with provocation. When people saw Eric taking out the jade ornamental thumb ring and putting it onto his thumb, they laughed alongside. Aaron also chimed in, “What jade? Can our dear cousin afford this? I think it’s fake. Did you hear what she said just now? She said she bought this with Philip.” “Oh? Right!” Eric pretended to realize this. Then, he took the jade

over at Philip with detest in their eyes. It was clear that Eric and Aaron did not plan to stop bothering Philip. Philip ignored them. He only drank his tea calmly and ate some of the food. These idiots did not even know what that was. If they knew the true value of that jade ornamental thumb ring, would they kneel on the ground and address him as a lord? When Eric saw that Philip did
