Chapter 422:
Elsa’s words hinted smugly that Norah lacked manners, showing up without a gift at the birthday celebration.
Norah halted, her demeanor cool and collected.
“Who said | cwithout a gift?”
She had even brought a present to Corrin’s birthday party. And for Elsa’s event, she had also remembered to
select a gift.
“Gilda, please bring my gift here.”
A few steps behind, Gilda approached with a jewelry box in hand.
“I was in a rush. | hope you can like it.”

Gilda opened the box to reveal a jade bracelet nestled on red velvet. It was of exceptional quality, with a deep,
vibrant green hue.
Elsa and her family instantly saw its worth, pegging it near one million dollars.
Even a gift chosen hastily could be valued over a million? The crowd was quietly amazed by Norah's generosity.
If Hank or Elsa were in her shoes, they wouldn't dream of spending a million on a birthday gift. It wasn’t that
they couldn't afford it; they simply preferred not to splash out that much.
In the Wilson household, they believed that money should be spent wisely.
Hank watched the jade bracelet intently, his eyes betraying a touch of longing. It was clear that Norah was filthy
rich. Otherwise, she wouldn't have effortlessly dropped a million on a jade bracelet.

Elsa’s face lit up, her smile turning sincere.
“Norah, that was very kind of you. This gift is precious.”
Wearing her seven-centimeter pink high heels, Elsa quickly moved over to Gilda and excitedly inspected the jade
bracelet inside the jewelry box. She had always admired the quality and color of the jade at a jewelry store but
never felt quite right about buying it herself.
After all, she already owned five similar bracelets. Yet, it was common for women to feel they were just a piece
or two short in their collection, and adding another wouldn't be a problem.
“Come, take a seat.”
A birthday gift of a jade bracelet made the Wilsons let their guard down, thinking Norah had just returned to
celebrate Elsa’s birthday.
As they all sat down, Elsa rose with a drink in hand.

“Today marks another birthday for me. I'm so glad to have each of you here withevery year. | hope you'll all
continue to joinin the future. This year, we have a new addition, my cousin Norah. Norah, even though
you've just cback, I'm sure you'll soon feel at hwith us. We're a tight-knit group. Thanks for your
thoughtful gift today. It means a lot to me.”
Her heartfelt thanks to Norah showed how much the gift had moved her.
Norah, glass in hand, toasted Elsa.
“We're all family here; no need for formalities. Being part of the Wilson family, | look forward to everyone's
support. Thank you.”
She quickly finished the glass of alcohol in one gulp. Setting the empty glass down, she said, “I'm not one for
fancy words, but | wish you a very happy birthday.”
Iker and Hank watched as Norah finished her drink. Despite her cheeks turning a shade of pink, she managed to
wish Elsa well with a clear mind. Both were visibly surprised.
Hank had retrieved a bottle of potent liquor from his collection for the occasion. It was the type that even his
father would savor slowly and cautiously.
