âYes, Dad, we willâ¦â Gregory and Shannon could only agree with a smile.
âI like this gift so much. Where is Carrie? Come here and let Grandpa hug you!â Nigel asked with a kind
smile.
âMs. Carrie said sheâs not feeling well, so sheâs upstairs. She will come to see you later.â Matt replied
promptly.
âOh, that childâ¦â
Nigel sighed in distress. âMatt, get this drawing framed and hang it in my study so that I can see it all
the time.â
Matt nodded and put the drawing away carefully.
Seeing that her grandfather valued Carrieâs gift so much, Bethany almost burst out in anger. Her eyes
turned red with hatred.
Bethany thought that her younger sister, who never had much allowance, would not be able to give any
decent gifts and would definitely be embarrassed when it was time to present the gifts.
As a result, Carrie actually found another way to show her affection for Nigel. The antique vase
Bethany spent millions to buy was no better than a simple drawing from Carrie.
Bethany thought, âCarrie! Just wait⦠Iâll kill you!â
On the other side, Rosalind was pacing back and forth in the corridor. She sent someone to get
Shannon.
Shannon walked up to Rosalind with her arms crossed. Her expression was just as gloomy.
âAunt Shannon, what should we do?â
Rosalind was so anxious that her cheeks were flushed. âOur methods canât seem to shake Annaâs
position in Grandpaâs heart. Not only that, their friendship has become even stronger!â
âI didnât expect it to be like this. The older Nigel gets, the weirder he becomes. Heâs simply
unreasonable!â
Shannon narrowed her poisonous eyes and lowered her voice. âRose, I think we need to use Plan B
today.â
âRight now?â Rosalind gritted her teeth. Her eyes were cold.
âNo, in a minute.â
Shannon patted her shoulder and sneered. âThere will be a distinguished guest coming soon. I have a
way to make Anna a laughing stock and ruin her reputation!â
Nigel continued to open presents.
When Justinâs 18th-century porcelain teacups appeared, the guests were in awe.
Many of Nigelâs friends were interested in appraising antiques, so they were eager to step
forward and get a closer look at the porcelain.
As a result, Nigel pettily hugged the box of teacups, fearing that these old menâs trembling hands would
accidentally drop his treasure.
âMy sweet grandson gave this to me, so none of you can touch it!â
This made everyone laugh. Bella also covered her mouth and laughed.
âGrandpa, this pair of teacups was donated by Madam Mila on behalf of KS Group at a charity auction.
I saw how rare they were, so I bought them. Iâm glad you like them.â Justin explained the origin of this
gift because Asher was there.
âAh! That must be Wyatt Thompsonâs private collection! Sigh⦠No one in Savrow can compare to him
when it comes to collecting antiques!â Nigel sighed as he stroked the box.
âMy father will be pleased to know that his collection has become your favorite, Old Master Nigel.â
Asher was gentle and elegant. His eyes were also smiling.
Asher had this kind of charm. His calm demeanor and courteous attitude made him seem like a
messenger of peace. No matter how contradictory the situation was, he could still build a friendship.
âGrandpa, this is the birthday gift I prepared for you!â Rosalindâs sweet voice suddenly interrupted
them.
Everyone turned their focus on her, but their eyes were somewhat contemptuous.
After all, everyone with a discerning eye could tell that Old Master Nigel did not like Rosalind. It would
not be so easy for her to marry into the Salvador family.
âDad, Rose prepared the gift for you with great care. She knew that you like ancient paintings, so she
specially bought an authentic Renaissance painting at the auction for your birthday.â Gregory
introduced Rosalindâs gift with a smile.
Gregory supported Rosalind because she was his wifeâs niece.
âOh? An authentic Renaissance painting? That sounds interesting.â Nigelâs eyes lit up with interest.
Rosalind ordered someone to bring the painting over. The servants wore white gloves and carefully
carried the framed painting in front of everyone.
Several antique enthusiasts joined in.
The next second, Nigelâs face darkened. He said blankly, âThanks.â
At this time, someone in the crowd questioned, âIs this really an authentic piece from the Renaissance?
Could it be a fake?â
