Chapter 65: Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Waiting To See Annalise Embarrassed “Hello,” Annalise immediately greeted Sybil.

She had always been kind to others who had been kind to her.

“When did you come back?” Sybil asked Henry.

When Henry was with Julian just now, he could still joke around.

Now that he was facing Sybil, he immediately became obedient. He sat upright and replied, “I came back yesterday.”

“Are you staying long? Let’s go to the resort together! It’s going to be autumn in a few days. We can go out to avoid the heat. Julian, bring Annalise along!” Sybil suggested.

Henry immediately looked at Julian eagerly. He wanted to go!

Julian looked at Annalise for her opinion.

Sybil smiled and said to Annalise, “Annalise, let’s go together and get familiar with each other. I’ll call a few more other people over.”

“I’ll go if Julian goes,” Annalise did not know how these people were related to Julian or did Julian want to go. Therefore, she left the decision-making to Julian.

“You arrange it,” Julian said to Sybil.

Coincidentally, he wanted to take Annalise to have some fun. Firstly, he wanted her to relax, and secondly, he wanted her to get familiar with the people in the circle.

“Alright then. I’ll greet the uncles first and come back later. Otherwise, Samuel will nag at me again.

Older people like to nag. Besides, I wouldn’t be used to not receiving Samuel’s nagging calls for a day if I were outside. Bye!” Sybil left and went to another table to greet others.

Coincidentally, she heard someone gossiping about Annalise. They said Annalise was from the countryside and a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Those people even think Annalise would embarrass herself later.

Sybil rushed over and rebuked, “So what if she is from the countryside? Did she eat your food? Did I spend your money? Who do you think you are? Huh? You’re sitting there gossiping about others, and you don’t feel embarrassed. Why should she be embarrassed?”

The two women who were gossiping were rebuked. They were initially angry and wanted to fight, but when they looked up and saw that the person who rebuked them was the daughter of the second-

largest family, Sybil, they were afraid and lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

In the entire Jadeborough, who would dare to provoke Sybil?

Who was Sybil?

The daughter of the Xander family, whom the head of the Xander family had got when he was 50 years old. She was his precious daughter.

Now that Sybil was 22 years old, her father was 72 years old. Sybil had three elder brothers and her family who doted on her.

“Continue. Why aren’t you continuing to gossip? Why aren’t you saying anything now? Should I give you a mic so you can tell everyone what you were saying?” Sybil continued to retort.

Only when the women shut up did Sybil go to the other tables to greet her uncles and relatives.

The two women were so depressed that they lost their appetite.

Soon, the Parks family began to send birthday gifts to Old Mr. Parks.

That was what everyone loved to watch.

First, Samuel’s two younger brothers, Albert and Gale, each presented Samuel with gifts.

Albert gave him an expensive tea set.

Those who loved drinking tea knew that teapots were easy to find, but this kind of teapot was hard to find.

It was more difficult to get a teapot of that than to buy a fine tea.

Meanwhile, Gale gave Samuel a jade sculpture.

The 50-centimeter-tall statue of a goddess. The jade was translucent, without any impurities or flaws. It could be said to be perfect, whether it was the jade itself or the carving.

Everyone started discussing. “As expected of the Parks family. How generous! Everyone knows that the Parks family is rich, but I didn’t expect the Parks family’s second and third sons to be so rich.”

“It’s still Samuel who’s willing to share. Other aristocratic families are afraid that brothers will fight for the assets, so they’ve long given up on them. At most, they’ll only let the relatives receive some dividends. Samuel has always let the relatives enter the core of the company.”

“That is also related to Parks Group’s development history. Back then, the relatives had also invested money.” “Which aristocratic family didn’t invest money when they were first established? Didn’t they still think of ways. to kick those relatives out later? To put it bluntly, Samuel is generous and benevolent.”

“That’s right. The Parks family looks calm on the surface, but we don’t know if it will be stable in the future.” “Whether it can be stable or not depends on Julian’s ability. Initially, I thought highly of him.

Whether he marries Lianne from the Blake family or Sybil from the Xander family, it’s easy for him to secure the first position in Parks Group. However, he chose the most difficult path and married a rural woman from the countryside. Isn’t that courting death?”

“Maybe something is going on inside.”

“Sigh, who knows? Now, I’m optimistic about Alexander taking over.”

“Timothy from the Parks family’s second branch can’t be underestimated either.”

Gossips were around the guests.

It was Julian’s generation’s turn to present their gifts amid everyone’s discussion.

Julian’s cousin, Timothy, and Jasmine, the daughter of the Xander family, presented birthday gifts to Old Mr. Parks.

Timothy presented a famous painting from a renowned painter.

His wife, Jasmine, presented a gold deco.

Ice jade embedded with pure gold not only had a good meaning but was also very expensive.

Everyone felt that the Parks family people had good taste, and the gifts they gave were expensive and meaningful.

Sybil had already greeted her relatives and returned to Julian’s table. When she saw them giving gifts, she was dissatisfied and said, “Are they stupid? Since they’re husband and wife, why did they give two gifts? Are they doing this to embarrass Annalise? Julian, did you prepare two gifts?”

“Yes,” Julian replied.

Sybil heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

“Let’s go!” Julian led Annalise over to present their gifts.

The guests present were curiously watching.

What they wanted to see the most was Annalise’s gift. They wanted to see what she could give.

When Abigail saw Annalise and Julian had gone to present gifts, her lips curled into a smile. She whispered to Alexander, “Unless Julian prepares gifts for her to present, or she doesn’t have anything to show.”

“Samuel said that this birthday present is mainly a token of appreciation, regardless of whether it’s expensive or cheap. She has to prepare it herself,” Alexander said.

“That’s good,” Abigail was relieved.

Abigail had prepared the Energizing Pill. She had asked a friend from medical school to spend more than 450 thousand dollars to buy one. It was said that Imperial Physician had personally refined it back then.

She believed that she would definitely become the center of attention once she presented the elixir pills. There was no need for her to take the initiative to befriend others. The socialites of the capital circle would naturally come to get close to her.

As she was thinking, he saw Julian giving Samuel Pine Crane Painting and saying some blessings.

Samuel happily accepted it and repeatedly agreed.

Next was Annalise’s gift to Samuel. Everyone was looking forward to it.

Abigail was even more excited. She was waiting for Annalise to embarrass herself.

Annalise took out a small jar. She handed the jar to Old Mr. Parks and said, “I wish you a happy birthday and a healthy, safe, and smooth life.”

“Thank you,” Samuel took the small jar and was overjoyed.

Everyone was curious, wondering what was in the jar.

Tony disliked Annalise the most. He said, “Dad, aren’t you going to open it and see what’s inside?”
