Chapter 3 Expensive Gifts
People who attended the party today were either from noble families or celebrities, and all of them were brilliant.
Everyone knew what Leia meant in an instant.
Leia was saying that Alice's gift was worthless, but in fact, she meant that Alice was worthless and not worthy of Ivan.
It was no secret that Miss Clark adored the young master of The Whites, and people had heard about it.
Seeing Alice make her move, the guests around were extremely excited, waiting for the other protagonist to respond.
But they were disappointed in the end, and Alice seemed to have ignored Leia from beginning to end.
Hearing what Leia said, she just smiled faintly and did not refute.
Seeing Alice's indifferent look, Leia felt ignored and so angry that she couldn't breathe.
It became awkward for a while, and at this moment, a steady voice came from the corner of the room.
It was Flora, called Old Mrs.
White!
"What happened?"
After everyone in the room heard the voice, they all took a step back respectfully and left the way clear.
The head of The Whites seemed to be Clara, who was in charge of everything in the family and made the final decision.
But people could see that the real head of The Whites was Flora.
Flora was like the real big boss behind the scenes, and she usually didn't show up.
She only showed up when there were very important decisions in the family to make.
Now the future of these relative families who depended on The Whites was still in the hands of Flora.
Many people in The Whites wished that Flora could die soon as soon as possible because only if she died could they have a chance to succeed.But it seemed these people were going to be disappointed based on the current situation.Although Flora had minor illnesses, she was still in good health.It could take a long time before anything happened to her.
The real star of today's party was Flora.No matter how unwilling Leia was and how she disliked Alice, she could not make a scene in this circumstance and make Flora unhappy.
Seeing Flora approaching, Leia hurriedly stepped forward and talked to her warmly, trying to cover up what had happened just now.
Flora was a smart woman. She knew what had happened at a glance at the scene in front of her.
At this moment, seeing Leia trying to cover it up, Flora didn't say anything and let go of what had just happened in the living room.
Seeing this, other people present changed the topic, and the room became lively after a while.
As for Alice, she had just been pushed into the center of the whirlpool. It seemed that everyone had completely forgotten her at this moment.She stood in the corner of the living room without saying a word.
...
The party was about to begin. Everyone took their seats in order of the importance of their social status according to the arrangement by the Old Mrs. White.
Alice, who The Whites had never valued, must have been placed in the corner of the banquet hall this time.Her seat was the farthest away from Flora and other White family members.
Now, most of the people sitting with her were nannies and servants working for The Whites.
Not long after the party started, a man hurriedly entered the door of the villa.
"Flora, someone has arrived at the door, saying that he is here to give you birthday gifts."
The man leaned toward Flora and whispered to her.
Flora's birthday party today was pretty much the same as before.She did not invite many business partners of The Whites, and most of the people invited were relatives of The Whites. The Whites' status was not the top class in the entire Kent City, and they were, at most, a wealthy family.
Who would specially prepare gifts in an attempt to please them?
"Does the person who came here tell you who he is? Who is it?"
Flora asked him curiously when she heard the words.
"He said that he is from The Williams. I don't know him very well, but I haven't seen him before. It seems that it is the first time he has come here," The man responded.
"From The Williams?"
Now in the entire banquet hall, Alice was the only one from The Williams.
But with so many people in the entire party, no one connected the man from The Williams with Alice.
...
"A medieval queen's crown!"
"A pair of onyx worth millions!"
"A ten-carat diamond ring!"
...
Everyone sitting in the banquet hall widened their eyes in surprise as they listened to the doorman's report.
What was the background of this William family? Why did they give such a big gift to The Whites?
And this one after another, it was no problem to say it was a dowry!
"Also, congratulations to The Whites for having an outstanding lady and a gift of eight million dollars!"
As soon as the guard's words fell, everyone at the banquet gasped.
Needles were dropped throughout the scene, and they could even hear each other's breathing.
It was a lot to give eight million dollars as a birthday gift, even for lots of wealthy families present.
More importantly, the meaning revealed in the tone of the person who came here seems to be for an outstanding lady of The Whites.
This was interesting.
