Nevertheless, Gabrielle received to compliments and even a bank can for the two pots of cheap flowers she had gifted. Everyone grew envious his.

It seemed as though Gabrielle was a conniving lady that knew how to please

“Gabrielle is a really scheming woman.”

“I’ve always told you of her cunning nature. She is only the adopted daughter in the Jones family, but she pretends as though she’s the real daughter.”

“That’s why I told you to stay away from her. Nothing good ever comes from

messing around with her.”

“Look at how happily she smiles! I really want to wipe it off of her bitchy face, once and for all.”

“Did you see cousin Lance standing next. to her? He is so enchanted by her witching face!”

“I really want to rip her to shreds, what. do you suggest I do?!”

There were many vicious comments and complaints being whispered from the young people, and even the women nec to Wendy were uttering mean things in low voices. After all, being relates of the Carter family, they were present at Kylo’s birthday party, and had to be careful what they were heard talking about.

“It was surprising me that Gabrielle received such high praise from Zaid, just by gifting two pots of ordinary moth orchids.” o

“The key to a nice gift is the thought that goes into it, not the price or how much you spend on it. She gave him exactly what he likes; even some pieces of grass from her could make Kylo happy!”

“Wendy brought her up well even though she is only an adopted daughter … unlike my own daughter, who is stubbom and highly extravagant.”

“My daughter is the same, she has a bad temperament. How can I expect her to be nice to others, when she isn’t even nice to me? Honestly, I am just satisfied as long as she doesn’t piss me off.”

“Wendy is the best. We should learn how to educate children from her.”

“Wendy, how did you bring Gabrielle up?” Several rich ladies surrounded Wendy and put forth their questions to her.

Wendy felt proud and honored, especially because Kyla thought highly of Gabrielle.

Those who were passing bad comments about Gabrielle‘s gifts being cheap were only embarrassing themselves. Now that the tables had turned, how insulted did they feel?

“I didn’t teach her much. Gabrielle was talented, I just gave her some advice on top of her good manners. When we went to the orphanage, we immediately liked

Gabrielle when we met her. We thought she was cute and smart, and she really was!” Wendy said proudly.

The rich ladies looked at each other in disdain, but forced a tight smile on their faces to hide how they truly felt.

“Wendy is truly blessed, and Gabrielle too, for the way Wendy has taught her.”

At half past five, all the celebrities invited by Kylo from Antawood began to arrive. Many of the relatives in the Cartes family began to move out of the hall to make space for the celebrities, they

o Both the eldest son and landson were with Kylo, and the younger generation went out into the Open garden to celebrate and conth we the light-hearted festivities.

Gabrielle went off to the side alone, on the pretext of grabbing some fresh air by herself and waiting for the Morris family to arrive later. In fact, she was hoping Westley would arrive and was secretly waiting for him.

However, part of Gabrielle didn’t want Westley to come to the event because

she didn’t want to give Wendy a chance to announce their marriage to the public.

Nevertheless, she thought it would be nice to have him there.

Deep in her conflicted thoughts, she hadn’t noticed two people had walked up to her.

“Gabrielle, why are you standing here alone? You were a hit in there, weren’t you? Among all the younger relatives, your gift was the worst, the cheapest and the most worthless – but Grandpa absolutely loved it! Tut-tut, didn’t expect that from you!” Mindy’s voice was dripping with sarcasm, as she Hooked at Gabrielle with heavy, scora ut eyes. Gabrielle turned arodod to see whose voice it belonged to, and she found Mindy and Chefstanding next to her. Cherie was the daughter of the Bennet family. The Carters and Bennets had been good friends for many generations, so that explained Cherie and Mindy’s close friendship, as well as Cherie’s liking towards Lance. Gabrielle knew how Cherie felt about Lance, so naturally she was hostile towards Gabrielle, who was quite close to Lance.

Gabrielle had always felt as though girls were naturally inclined to dislike her, making her their enemy for very silly or non-existing reasons.

“When gifting, it’s the thought that. counts, not the price. It was obvious to Grandfather that was the case with my gift, because I had carefully chosen a gift that was exactly to his liking. What’s the problem with that?” Gabrielle said coldly. She hated Mindy, who was also herd cousin

“Yes, you are right. But it was bad you to embarrass everyone else in rubric for their presents. Ours were well-chosen, too; you weren’t the only one who thought hard about your gift!” Mindy’s hands shook as she spoke, one holding a wine glass. She had a Inalicious smile on her face.

“Mindy, today is Grandfather’s birthday. I don’t want to quarrel with you. Now, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to go.” Gabrielle was about to leave, but Mindy stopped her. Just as she was about to turn around to go the other way. Cherie blocked her.

“Miss Bennet, there are no hard feelings or grudges between us. Excuse me,

please.” Gabrielle said softly. as she threw Cherie an emotionless look.

“Yes… no grudges between us, but Lance is so close to you. I was talking to him. but as soon as he saw you coming. he immediately left me and ran to you, What do you think of that? Shouldn’t I hate you?” Cherie and Mindy were exactly alike, in their arrogant, domineering and cunning ways. No wonder they got on like a house on fire

“Lance is my cousin at he greet me when he sees me? Anyway, we’ve always been close throughout our whole life. Did you notice thahly today?” Gabrielle said calmly, suppressing her anger,

She held back on slapping her – if it wasn’t her Grandfather’s birthday. she definitely would have!

“Mindy. have you been passing comments on my marriage?” Gabrielle cast a cold glance at Mindy.
