“Ms. Lowell, can I have your number?”
“Ms. Lowell, you don’t have a boyfriend, right? Can we get to know each other?”
In the crowd, Joanna looked toward Millie.
Millie was outside the crowd, but they could still see each other in the tight space.
Millie saw the sarcasm and smugness in Joanna’s eyes. She was provoking her.
Selma cared about her reputation, so the Lowell family would make sure she looked good that day! How pleased was Selma with Joanna? Could Millie achieve the same thing?
Amidst the commotion, someone suddenly shouted, “What did Mrs. Greer give as a birthday present?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
The hall fell silent for three seconds. Everyone’s gaze landed on Millie.
“That’s right!”
“Mr. Webson had also brought a gift. What about Mrs. Greer?”
“I saw her come empty–handed just now. Could it be that she didn’t buy a gift for Mrs. Greer Senior?”
“Even if Mrs. Greer Senior dotes on her, she still shouldn’t come empty–handed! If she did come empty- handed, what about the Caldwell family? Did any of the Caldwells come? Aren’t they disrespecting Mrs. Greer Senior, then?”
Looking at the crowd, Millie didn’t expect the topic of the conversation to change so quickly. One moment ago, they were talking about Joanna, but the next they were talking about her.
At the same time, Selma also noticed a problem. That day, no one from the Caldwell family had come.
She could understand if Millie’s parents didn’t come, but how about the two elders from the Caldwell family? Why weren’t they here?
Selma frowned, then heard someone behind her ask, “Her in–laws aren’t here, and Millie has come empty–handed… On top of this, there have also been rumors circulating online. Could it be that Millie and Winston are really getting a divorce?”
“Stop spewing nonsense! Millie and Winston are doing perfectly fine,” Selma retorted fiercely with a glare.
The moment Selma snapped, everyone shut their mouths at once. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly
Who would dare to offend Selma? She was the most respected person in the Greer family!
Joanna cleared her throat and asked amidst the silence, “Mills, don’t tell me that you’ve really come empty–handed?”
Millie smiled. Looking at the gossipy gazes, she said firmly, “Of course not!”
If she didn’t bring a gift for Selma on her birthday, wouldn’t she just be an idiot?
“Then, what is your gift?”
Millie looked up and smiled. With determination, she emphasized, “The Snowdrop!”
Everyone gasped. What? The Snowdrop?
Joanna’s gift was the Snowdrop, and coincidentally, Millie’s gift was the same. Wasn’t there only one Snowdrop in this world?
Joanna was stunned. She reached out to hold the table beside her for support, trying to calm herself
down.
Millie observed Joanna’s expression. Joanna was clearly flustered.
Joanna swallowed before looking at Jeremy. Jeremy gave her a firm look, as if reminding her to remember what he said just now.
He had said that no matter what, Joanna just needed to insist that she had the real Snowdrop. That was it. She didn’t need to be scared.
Joanna composed herself and looked at Millie again.
She didn’t believe that Millie could obtain the Snowdrop.
Not even the Lowell family could get it, so how could the Caldwell family get it, especially Millie?
“Millie, is this a joke? There’s only one Snowdrop in this world. You say your gift is Snowdrop. What about mine?”
Joanna slammed the table, looking furious.
Millie looked at the fake Snowdrop on the table and smiled brightly. “It’s fake.”
This agitated everyone.
