My Sudden Rich Life novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 A Stunning Gift Box

“I know right! How could a loser like Trevor win Corrie’s favor? I mean, she’s the prettiest of all!”

“I’m sure his hands are pickled in stinky smells by now!”

“What a loser! If you don’t know your place, then that’s what you’ll end up with!” Seeing the crowd burst into laughter, Trevor’s pale face turned livid with rage. ‘Do I deserve to be humiliated just because I do not have money?’

Anger boiled within him, and if it weren’t for Bessie, he would have left the place immediately.

After all, unfortunately for him, no one really cared about his feelings.

Noticing the gloomy look in their coach’s eyes, Bernard knew that she was at her limit.

Even though he was the one that started it, he did not dare to take things too far, so he quickly laughed and said, “Everyone, don’t laugh at this poor loser anymore. Miss Taylor’s birthday mustn’t be ruined. Let me see what kind of present you got for her. Why don’t you take it out and see which one would be the most perfect present for her?”

Bernard gathered everyone’s attention and was about to open his gift box with a sense of pride in his heart. He felt like he had accomplished something.

The next moment, a delicate perfume bottle was placed on the table.

“Wow, what a beautiful bottle of perfume! It must be quite expensive, right?” “Bernard is so rich. The gift he bought must cost a lot!”

Even Corrie was amazed.

“This is a new limited edition Hermès perfume. A single bottle of it costs more than ten thousand dollars, for sure!” she exclaimed.

In fact, she had been wanting that exact perfume for a long time now, but since it was so expensive, she had not made up her mind to buy it, and that was the reason she was able to recognize it by just looking at it once.

‘Wow!

A perfume that’s worth more than ten thousand dollars is something that a student can’t afford so easily!’

When Bernard saw the admiration in her eyes, his complacent smile grew bigger. He was also proud when he saw how envious the crowd was.

He then glanced at Trevor and teased, “Trevor must have bought a gift for Miss Taylor, too, right? Why don’t you show it to us?”

“You don’t have to tell

me. I already gave her the gift as soon as I got here.”

Trevor glanced at them and then looked at Bessie gently. “Miss Taylor, why don’t you show them what I bought for you?”

Bessie motioned to them and said, “Don’t compare how valuable your gifts are. I like them all equally, regardless of their worth.”

Upon hearing those words, Trevor’s expression darkened. He could tell that she was only doing it to stop him from feeling embarrassed in public. After all, he was a poor boy, so there was no way for him to afford expensive gifts.

But things had changed, and Trevor believed that no one’s gift could be as priceless as his.

“Miss Taylor, it’s okay. Just show them,” he said again, looking at Bessie with a firm glance.

Stunned, she took out a beautifully wrapped present from her bag nervously.

As soon as the velvet box was taken out of the bag, a beautiful light shone from it.

The entire hotel room fell silent all of a sudden. “It’s so beautiful!”

Bessie exclaimed in amazement. She was not expecting it to be so gorgeous when she took out the box.

‘What a beautiful gift box!’

A hint of astonishment flashed through everyone’s mind and they all gasped. Even Bernard was shocked.

Something did not seem right.

“Trevor, I am sure you must have found this box in a dumpster outside a wealthy community. It’s so beautiful! You must be really caring and thoughtful for preparing such a pretty present for Miss Taylor.”

Bernard, who was waiting to see Trevor getting humiliated, was still not reconciled. He thought for a while and continued to tease him.

“Since you took the time to bring me a gift, I don’t care what’s inside. All that matters is your thoughtfulness to bring me something.”

Actually, Bessie also suspected that Trevor had only brought such an elegant box because of his high self-esteem. Since she knew that he was not wealthy, she said something to prevent him from facing embarrassment.

“Well, he took time and effort to bring you this gift, right? So would it hurt for us to take a look at it?”

However, Corrie pouted and snatched the gift box from her cousin before she opened it without any hesitation.
