Facade

someone happened to notice the watch strapped around Gideon’s left wrist. When the approached Gideon to shake his hand, he commented, “You have great taste in watches, Gideon! That’s a four–million–dollar Rolex watch right there! It suits you really well!! 

“Wow! You really are generous 

s when it comes to the good stuff! This watch is the only madel in the whole world, you know! I can’t believe you actually got your hands on it!” 

“As expected of Gideon! You really have remarkable taste!” 

when the first guy began kissing up to Gideon, the few others who wanted to collaborate with him followed suit. 

“Is that so? Thank you,” Gideon replied with a smile. 

Then, he flipped is hand around to show his inner wrist. “What do you think about this cufflink, then? 

The people fell silent after glancing at the cuttink 

Wasn’t it just an ordinary cufflink? It looked dull when compared to the four–million–dollar Rolex watch. Heck, it even looked extremely cheap 

But the guests were charismatic and knew their way around a human’s heart, seeing as they wanted to work with Gideon. The fact that Gideon was asking them such a question meant that he was doing it on purpose. 

So, they wasted no time in complimenting the cufflink 

“The cufflink might not be as expensive as the watch, but the one who picked it out for you has amazing taste!” 

“Just look at the cufflink’s design! It’s extremely Intricate! This cufflink is definitely designed just to complement you, Gideon!” 

*Precisely! This cufflink matches your appearance well, Gideon!” 

Gideon was in a good mood despite knowing that the other guests were just saying all those things to butter him up “My sister was the one who gave me the cufflink” 

The guests swapped looks with each other. They had a heard that Gideon chose to stay in Jadonia and start a branch company here for the sake of his younger sister. Hence, they collectively breathed mental sighs of relied. 

Thank goodness they didn’t overdo the whole buttering up thing 

Yana walled into the living room of the Gaskell residence with an armful of shopping bags. Eugene trailed behind her quietly. 

It bumed out that Yana was Queenie’s cousin she visited the Gaskell residence regularly so that she could suck up to the daskells. That was why she knew her way around the 

Queenie smiled at the sight of the things yana had brought. “Oh, Yanal! It’s great to see you here! Why must you insist on bringing this many gifts every time you visit? 

“It’s nothing.” Yana replied while placing the items on the coffee table. “Theard that Mr. Gaskell Senior’s condition has improved by leaps and bounds. It just so happens that I’ve bought some supplements as well as elderberries trom [enville for him to nourish himself. 

“Queenie, your gifts are fish oll pellets imported from Inkvaria and collagen pills from Jenville. They are meant to preserve your youthful beauty while keeping your skin smooth and dewy 

“This Montblanc fountain pen is a gift for Zyler. I hope it act as a good luck charm for him to emerge as the valedictorian in his SATs next year. As for this…. 

Queenie watched as Yana listed out all the valuable gifts she had prepared for every member of the Gaskell family. Obviously, Yana needed the Gaskells to help her out with something. Why else would she prepare such lavish gifts otherwise? 

“You really are thoughtful and generous, Yana,” Queenie said smilingly. 

Then, she turned to look at Eugene, who was seated on the couch while playing a game. “How are Eugene’s grades as of late?” 

“Eugene, hurry up and greet your aunt Yana nudged Eugene gently 

“Hi, Aunt Queenie,” Eugene greeted before returning to his game. 

“ch, Queenie. Frankly speaking, Eugene got himself into a bit of conflict with his classmate some time ago. That classmate’s older sister seduced the dean and managed to convince him to expel my sweet Eugene from the school” Yana lamented. 

Quecnie was both surprised and intrigued, to say the least. She asked, “Just who on earth is that charming to be able to seduce Dean Ludden? 

As far as Queenie knew, Andrew had always been an upright and stern man. To think that there existed a woman who was able to seduce him… 

“You know that girl too. She’s Hera Youngworth, the Everetts‘ actual daughter whom they had brought back from the countryside some time ago,” Yana replied. 

“Holy sh–whath 

Zyler happened to walk down the stairs at that moment, so he overboard Yana’s words. He and Queenie were equally stunned to hear Yana’s answer. “Zyler!” Yana visibly lit up at the sight she nudged Eugene once again. “Eugme, hurry up and greet your cousin.” 

“Hi, Zyler.” That was when Eugene put his phone away. 

“What happened?” Zyler asked with a sullen expression 

Not only did Hera seduce Christopher, but she also seduced Andrew? NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Yana began filling Zyler and Queenie in on the exaggerated version of what happened in the infirmary that day. 

“That boat’s at it again! Queenie glowered darkly. 

But Zyler looked pleased. “Is what you said the truth.
