All the birthday gifts had to be registered, lest the host couldn’t tell who gave what in the end.
All those who wanted to take the grand birthday party’s opportunity to curry favor with the Hunts had
already sent a lot of valuable gifts a long time ago.
The person in charge of registering the gifts had already long since become numb to the great
number of valuable gifts.
Thus, he replied, “A box of pills”
Box? Yvonne let out a low laugh.
The more precious a medicine, the more they were counted by the actual number of pills after all,
even a single pill was hard to come by.
Yet they had given a whole box of pills…
Their gift was probably Carefree Pills, right? The Carefree Pill’s current market value was $3,000
per pill.
Even if they gave an entire box of it, how much could they possibly add up to…? Yvonne let out a
sigh of relief and said, “My gift is a pill.”
The person in charge of registering gifts looked up at her.
“Okay, I’ve noted it.What kind of precious pill is it, though, Ms.Smith?”
The question was purely out of his own curiosity.
Yvonne smiled and answered, “It’s the Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill”

Thud.
The person in charge of gift registration dropped his pen on the table.
His voice also suddenly rose in volume as he repeated, “The Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill?”
Rachel, who was standing behind Yvonne, also heard them.
At once, she became even more surprised, and her voice became even louder.
“The Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill?”
Her words made everyone look over.
Upon sensing their envious gazes, Yvonne raised her chin a little, and she felt like she had finally
regained her confidence.
She said simply, “Yeah.”
Then, she headed to the party hall.
The people at the door were already sighing in admiration.
“The Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill…She sure is generous!”
“Yeah, that pill is really hard to find now! The Smiths are probably the only ones that can get
Dr.Zabe to make one more these days!”
“The Smiths are worthy of their name as a top-notch giant, indeed! As expected, they only do great
things! The box of pills that the Andersons gave are probably Carefree Pills.In comparison, that’s
nothing to be envious of anymore…”
The Andersons’ Carefree Pills had already made a name for themselves.
To be honest, a box of it was actually a presentable gift.
But compared with the Zabe Corporation’s Calming Pill, it was ultimately still inferior.
Yvonne was delighted by their comments.
But a short while after she cheered up, her friends behind her started talking to one another softly
again.
“Why didn’t the Smiths manage to borrow the Blue Enchantress when they’re so powerful, though?
After all, Yvonne loved showing off the most during all the parties in the past!”
“Yeah, the brand won’t loan us the Blue Enchantress if we try to borrow it, but they definitely won’t
dare to offend people like the Hunts and the Smiths if they ask for it! How did the Andersons
manage to borrow it instead…?”
“By right, that shouldn’t be the case.The Smiths are a top- notch family.Isn’t it a cinch for them to
borrow a gown if they want to?”
“Don’t say any more.She’s ultimately just an adopted daughter.If she were a real Smith, how would
she possibly fail to borrow it…”
Their words made Yvonne clench her fists tightly.
Not a real Smith…
Indeed, it was because she wasn’t a real Smith that they had rejected her when she went to borrow
the gown.
But had Joel personally made the request himself, they definitely wouldn’t have dared to refuse! At
the end of it all, it was still because she wasn’t related to the Smiths by blood.
Yvonne lowered her head.

“Ah, I remember now.Nora Smith was at the dance party this year, but she had only tied up her hair
and worn a pantsuit that time.She’s simply beautiful in her outfit today!”
“Why do I feel like she looks even better than Ms.Smith…”
“No, wait, shouldn’t Ms.Smith and Mr.Hunt be the highlight of the Hunts’ party this evening instead?
What is she wearing the Blue Enchantress to steal the limelight for? Could it be that…”
“Cough!”
Someone who saw Yvonne coughed as a reminder.
The few of them immediately shut up.
All of them were rather embarrassed when they turned and spotted Yvonne.
They said, “We were just talking nonsense just now, Ms.Smith.Don’t mind us…
Yvonne took a deep breath.
Of course she knew that they were just fair-weather friends.
The moment they complained about others in front of her, she had already known that she would
definitely also be the focus of their complaints.
There wasn’t anyone who didn’t talk about others behind their backs, nor was there anyone who
wasn’t talked about behind their backs.
She had long since become accustomed to it after so many years.
She smiled and said, “What were you all talking about just now? I didn’t hear anything.”
The few of them breathed sighs of relief at once.
Then, they started to flatter her again.
“We were talking about how inappropriate Nora Smith’s behavior is.
