Chapter 39

Matthew frowned. Quinn was clearly trying to embarrass him. Fortunately, he had bought a gift today and had already given it to Yvonne.

Just as he was about to speak, Rachel interjected. "He bought a necklace and already gave it to my mom."

Quinn sneered. "I heard that you paid for the necklace, and Matthew didn't spend a penny. Isn't it shameful not to buy a gift for his mother-in-law's birthday?"

Rachel was taken aback. When they had bought the necklace, Matthew's phone hadn't been linked to his bank card, so she had paid.

She wanted to defend Matthew but couldn't find a reason to refute Quinn.

Yvonne's and Martin's face turned grim. They had advised against letting Matthew attend the party, but Rachel had insisted. And now their reputation was completely ruined. All eyes were on Matthew. They were eager to see how the man who had won Rachel's heart would respond.

Matthew was grateful for Rachel's attempt to shield him. She had been considerate to him yesterday while shopping for clothes, and he remembered her kindness.

Under everyone's gaze, he slowly stood up and looked at Quinn. "My gift isn't valuable. I planned to present it after the party. But since you insist, I'll give it now." Quinn smirked. "I know you come from Lambda City, a small place. You probably can't afford anything decent. Go ahead and show us. We promise we won't laugh." Despite his words, Quinn's expression was filled with mockery.

Matthew's gaze turned sharp as he looked at Quinn. "Fine. It's not really that significant. Make sure you take a good look."

The audience grew more curious and stood up to get a better view.
