NovelEnglishHearing Gordon's words, Sophie perked up instantly: "Whoever heard of taking back a gift once it's given? Just
watch, I'll find it for sure!"
With that, she bolted towards her room like her life depended on it.
Harold, who was overseeing the cleaning, saw her dash by and couldn't help but vent, "Sophie! The floor's just
been mopped! Are you doing this on purpose?"
Sophie couldn't care less about Harold's grumbling. Finding that gift was all that mattered now!
Jenna had been searching for Sophie for a while, so she headed up to the third floor. She found Sophie in full
chaos mode, rummaging through her room, sprawled out on the floor with her phone's flashlight aimed under
the bed. "Sophie! What on earth are you doing? The guests will be here in two hours! You need to cand get
ready!"
"An hour's plenty! I'm just trying to find the gift my brother got you."
"What gift? Haven't you already racked up enough gifts today?"
"That's not good enough. You only turn eighteen once, and my brother insists a girl's coming-of-age bash should

Jenna rolled her eyes, exasperated. "When has Gordon ever held back? Sophie, you're practically drowning in
luxury! He's spoiled you rotten!"
"My brother always says if it makeshappy, he can afford it."
"Seriously, what does Gordon do for a living? Does he have a money tree or something?"
Jenna shook her head, baffled by Gordon's endless generosity.
Sophie was practically tearing her room apart but still hadn't found a trace of the gift. Jenna, dragged into the
search, was losing steam fast, giving up after less than ten minutes.
With more than half an hour wasted, Sophie plopped onto the bed in frustration. "Liar! It's nowhere!"
Just then, a small pink box with a ribbon fell from the ceiling, landing right in Sophie's lap.
Jenna's jaw dropped. "Where did that cfrom?!"
Sophie looked up to see the chandelier swinging slightly, and on the box were the words: Do not open on your
own.
Sophie's earlier frustration melted into glee. "See, my brother's full of surprises!"
"You're way too easy to please! You've been tearing this place apart for an hour!"
"When my brother givesa gift, of course I'm happy."
Sophie eagerly tore into the box, ignoring the warning.
"Hey, it said not to open it!"
"I'm just sneaking a peek. My brother won't know!"
But as she opened the box, her excitement fizzled. It was empty, except for a note that read:
Disobedient, gift confiscated vernet
Suddenly, it was as if the sky fell down on her.
"Ms. Sophie, it's tto get ready," the maid announced, stepping into the room.

Sophie's shoulders slumped, and Jenna added, "Cheer up! You still have that gorgeous jewelry set, right?"
Sophie muttered under her breath, "I don't want any jewelry..."
Gordon had showered her with so
much jewelry over the years, but
today, her coming-of-age party, she wanted something different,
something she could actually enjoy.

"You've got a bit of a greedy streak, haven't you?" Jenna teased.
