Chapter 178
The sense of shame overwhelmed Justin.
Ryan saw this and felt jealous. ‘How should I defeat such a strong love rival? I can only
wait. anxiously!’
Bella was touched by Nigel’s words. Her long eyelashes trembled as she said softly,
“Grandpa
“Alright. Dad, it’s your birthday today, so let’s not talk about such sad things.”
Gregory hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, “Let’s take a look at the birthday
gifts the children have prepared for you, alright? We’ll start the banquet after opening the
gifts. Let’s not keep the guests waiting.”
“Oh, right! Let’s open presents!” Nigel rubbed his hands excitedly, looking like an old
baby.
This old man was just too adorable.
Ryan and other guests who were close to the Salvador family presented their gifts. Nigel
nodded his thanks and accepted them all with a smile.

Ryan stood in front of Nigel, bowed like a gentleman, and said with a bright smile, “Justin
is my best friend, so his grandfather is my grandfather. I hope that you will stay healthy
and happy for as long as the earth spins!”
“Good boy. Thank you, son!” Nigel grinned from ear to ear.
“Grandpa, happy birthday!”
Bethany showed up and walked over shyly. She took the opportunity to stand next to Ryan
and insisted on being seen with him. “I know you like antiques, so this is my gift to you!”
As she spoke, she deliberately leaned to the side to get closer to Ryan.
As a result, Ryan did not even look at her, and he stepped out of the way.
Bethany almost fell from losing her balance. It took her a while before she could stand still.
There were faint snickers around her. How embarrassing!
Bethany was so embarrassed that she almost cried. In her heart, she cursed everyone who
laughed at her.
At this time, the servant brought up the 19th-century vase that she had prepared. Nigel
smiled and nodded. “Good, good! Thank you, Beth.”
The corners of Bethany’s curled up smugly.
“Mr. Salvador, this is Ms. Carrie’s gift to you. Please take a look at it.”
At this time, Nigel’s secretary, Matt, came over with a white roll of paper in his hand. A
neat red bow was tied in the middle to keep the paper from unraveling.
“Oh, this is Carrie’s gift? Come, bring it to me!”
Nigel took the scroll and unrolled it. He was startled at first, then he burst out laughing.”
Hahaha! Is this me? Well done! What a talented girl! Haha!”
Everyone gathered around to find out why the old man was laughing like that.
Bethany was frozen. Her moment in the spotlight had only lasted for three seconds.
On the white drawing paper was a drawing of an old man laughing. Every wrinkle was
drawn with such fine detail.
In the corner was a line of words. “Happy birthday, Grandpa! I hope that you will laugh like
this every day. From, Carrie.”
“Look at what Carrie drew! Doesn’t it look like me? Carrie is so talented!” Nigel praised his

“Carrie is indeed a good artist.” Ryan thought of the cute girl with a soft smile.
This smile made Bethany’s face stiffen. Her chest felt stuffy and sour with jealousy.
“Although Carrie is still a novice in art, given time, she will definitely make a name for
herself in the art industry.” Justin nodded lightly.
“Grandpa, Carrie is very talented at painting. She has always wanted to apply to the
Academy of Fine Arts.”
Bella took the opportunity to express Carrie’s feelings. “Look, even Justin, who never
praises others, agrees that Carrie has great potential in this field. Why not let her study
art? I think that she will be a talented and beautiful artist in five years. She will bring
honor to the family.”
Justin frowned. He felt like Anna was slanting him. ‘Am I that mean to never praise
anyone?’
“What’s going on? Don’t you two care about your daughter? You should cultivate Carrie’s
outstanding talents!”
At the mention of his youngest granddaughter, Nigel looked in the distance. His eyes were
full of pity. “Carrie is different from other ordinary children. You all know her condition, so
as her parents, you two should spend more time taking care of her!”
