Chapter 1315 Gift Hattie stood next to Selena, watching Vivian being surrounded and complimented by a group of people, and coldly snorted.
Selena frowned when she saw Vivian's gift.
Hattie saw this and thought Selena was unhappy, so she comforted her, "Selena, don't be upset. No matter how good that woman's gift is, Osvaldo won't like her!" Selena's eyes flickered with something, and she shook her head, "It's okay." Antonio loved paintings. Naturally, he was happy to receive a genuine masterpiece. He looked at Vivian and nodded, "You are thoughtful." Although there wasn't much praise, the joy in Antonio's eyes couldn't be concealed. And this sentence was enough to raise Vivian's worth, as everyone knew that Antonio would not hesitate to repay her according to his status.
Vivian finally caught Antonio's eye. Thinking of this, everyone at the scene also praised Vivian.
Hearing those compliments and congratulations, Vivian felt triumphant. She knew that with Antonio's words, no one would dare to mention the embarrassing incident in front of her again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Antonio was enjoying the calligraphy and painting, he suddenly felt a cold gaze on him.
He looked up and saw his expressionless grandson standing not far away, staring at him coldly. Antonio felt chills down his spine and had trouble maintaining his smile.
This unfilial grandson - didn't he just receive a calligraphy and painting from someone? Antonio's gaze shifted, and he suddenly saw Selena standing next to Osvaldo, her brows slightly furrowed, looking distressed.
He finally remembered that he had concealed his birthday celebration from Selena.
It was probably because the young girl didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift for him that Osvaldo was worried about his wife being upset, which made him suddenly act strange.
Antonio coughed nervously and looked at the pale bamboo painting, having it collected.
As he raised his hand to reveal the matter, he suddenly heard a voice say, "Miss Shaw's birthday gift is done. Is it Miss Turner's turn next?" "Miss Turner, as Mr. Anderson's fiancée and with such outstanding talent, I'm sure her birthday gift for the old man will not be inferior," said a close friend of Vivian in the circle. "We can't wait to see it." With those words, everyone's attention instantly turned to Selena.
Vivian raised her chin and looked at Selena with a smile. "Master Antonio rarely celebrates his birthday, and as the future fiancée of Mr. Anderson, Miss Turner's gift is bound to be more eye-catching than my bamboo painting.” She looked at Selena and extended her hand. "Miss Turner, please show us." Selena stood beside Osvaldo and seemed not to have heard the sarcasm in Vivian's words. She said seriously, "The gift | prepared for Grandpa is not suitable to be presented in public. I plan to give it to him privately.” As Selena's words fell, many people looked at her with a different look.
Thanks to Vivian's previous words, everyone knew that Selena didn't care about Master Antonio's birthday at all.
So this means...
Didn't she even prepare a gift?! Vivian's lips curled in a sneer, and she looked meaningfully at Selena. Her voice was full of sarcasm. "I heard that Miss Turner has been busy with Commander Turner's surgery recently. | wonder if she didn't even prepare a birthday gift for Master Antonio?" Seeing Selena’s frowned expression, Vivian continued, "Miss Turner is naturally worried about her uncle's health, which is understandable. But this is Master Antonio's eightieth birthday. Even if you're busy, you shouldn't ignore him like this." "You care so much about the Turner family, but you're neglecting Mr. Anderson's family. That's where you went wrong." Selena frowned even tighter and glanced at the gift Vivian gave to Master Antonio without saying anything.
Vivian looked even more pleased with herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaster Antonio's face also darkened. He looked dissatisfiedly at Osvaldo. He knew that Selena was busy with Oscar's surgery, so he kept the birthday a secret from her. But what about Osvaldo? As his grandson, how could he not prepare a gift for him? He and Selena are engaged, so what he gave is equivalent to what Selena gave.
Osvaldo is usually quite reliable, but he didn't handle this matter well today! Osvaldo had no expression on his face and raised his hand to smooth out Selena’s frown. "What's wrong, Selena?" He prepared a gift for Selena.
But seeing Selena looking a bit hesitant, it was obvious that she had prepared a special birthday gift for Antonio.
It's just not suitable to bring it out in this situation.
Selena shook her head. "It's okay." She looked at Antonio and smiled slightly, "Grandpa, the birthday gift | prepared for you is special and not suitable to be brought out in public. I will send it to your study later." Antonio nodded with a smile, "Let Antonio come with you later.” Seeing that the matter was about to pass, how could Vivian, who had been trying to undermine Selena, be willing to let it go? She glanced at her best friend who had just spoken up for her.
Her friend received Vivian's signal and looked at Selena with a smile, "Miss Turner, your words sound strange." "What kind of congratulatory gift is not suitable to be brought out in public? You have to send it to the old man privately?" "Miss Turner's talents are well-known throughout the capital.” "Many people at the scene today have been looking forward to what kind of birthday gift you will give to the old man." "At this critical moment, you said such evasive words. Could it be that..." the woman looked at Selena, revealing a hint of disdain in her eyes, "You didn't actually prepare a birthday gift for the old man. This statement is just a lie to shirk responsibility?" Selena frowned again, looked at Vivian, and remained silent.
It was Leia, who was standing behind Selena, who heard so many people ridiculing Selena and was almost exploding with anger.
She couldn't understand calligraphy and painting, but she just felt that the gift Selena prepared for Antonio was better-looking than the painting Vivian gave.
The specific reason why it was better-looking, she didn't understand.
But she just couldn't bear to see Selena being bullied! She immediately shouted loudly, "Master Antonio, Madam Selena’s gift for you is here!" As she spoke, she took out the painting that she had been holding carefully in her hands.
