Chapter 97
The sense of shame was like a flood of ferocious beasts, and they were madly surrounding and
attacking Joseph.
Vincent saw this, and his heart was filled with grief.
If his love rival was too strong, how could he defeat him?
Chloe felt a stab in her heart, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she called out, “Grandfather…”
“Alright, Dad, today is your big day. Let’s not talk about unhappy things.”
“Why don’t we take a look at the birthday gifts that the children have prepared for you? After seeing the
gifts, we will start the banquet. Don’t let the guests wait too long.”
“Oh, right! Open the gifts, open the gifts!” Rory rubbed his hands like an old child.
Aiyo, this old man is really cute!
Vincent and the other guests close to the Sawle family sent gifts, which Rory repeatedly nodded in
thanks for, accepting them one by one.
“Grandfather!”
Vincent stood in front of Rory and gracefully bowed. He smiled brightly and said. “Joseph and I are
brothers. His grandfather is my grandfather!”
“I wish you live long and happy every year!”
“Good boy, good boy! Thank you!” Rory beamed with delight.
“Grandpa, Happy birthday to you!”
Skyler walked over with a shy expression and took the opportunity to stand next to Vincent. “I know that
you like antiques. This is my birthday gift for you!”
As she spoke, she deliberately leaned to the side, wanting to get closer to the one she loves,
Without so much as a glance, Vincent stepped aside.
Skyler almost fell, and her body swayed a few times before she stood firm!
It was such a disgrace, and there were people around who were secretly laughing.
Skyler was so embarrassed that tears were welling up, and she inwardly cursed those who had
laughed at her!
At this time, the servant brought up the jade pot spring bottle that she had prepared. Rory smiled and
nodded. “En! Good,
good, good.

of Skyler’s lips could not help but rise again, and she was proud of herself.
“Mr. Sawle, this
is the birthday present that Fourth Miss gave you. Please take a look.”
At this time, Secretary Webb walked over bow.
With a white paper scroll in his hand and a red silk thread tied with a well-behaved
“Aiya, is it Annie who gave it to me? Quickly bring it over for me to take a look!”
Rory grabbed the paper scroll and opened it up. He was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.
“Hahaha, this is me? This is Annie’s sketch of me? She’s really talented! What a great job she did!
Haha!“
Seeing Old Master smiling, everyone gathered around to investigate.
Leaving Skyler, who had only been in the limelight for three seconds, completely forgotten.
On the white painting paper, there was an old man wearing a long gown, his face adorned with a smile,
and every wrinkle on his face exquisitely detailed.
-There were also two lines of small delicate characters below – wishing grandfather a long life and
always happy. Annie.
“Look at your sister’s painting. Does it look like me? Annie is too talented in painting!” Rory praised her
proudly. “Vegetable flower… ahem, Sister Annie’s painting is really impressive. It has the aroma of an
artist!” Vincent thought of the adorable “sister of vegetable flower’, and his eyes were filled with a
gentle smile.
Skyler’s face stiffened abruptly at the smile, and she felt a pang of jealousy.
“Although Annie’s painting skills are still a little immature, in the future, she will definitely be able to
achieve something in the world of painting.” Joseph lightly nodded.
“Grandfather, my little sister Annie is incredibly gifted when it comes to painting. She has always
dreamed of applying to the academy and learning the art of beauty.”
Chloe took the opportunity to express Annie’s inner thoughts. “Look, even Mr. Sawle, who never
praises others, praises Annie. It can be seen that she really has a lot of potential in this area. Why don’t
you let her develop in the art area?”
“I believe that in five years’ time, the Sawle family will have a talented beauty painter among them.”
Joseph frowned, wondering why it seemed like this woman was treating him as a mere tool.
He never praised people? Was he that mean?
“Don’t you two usually not care about children? The child has such outstanding talent, she should be
nurtured well!”
“Annie is different from ordinary children. You all know her situation. As parents, you should take out
enough time to take care of her!”
“Yes, yes, Dad, you are… Mr. Sawle and his wife could only smile and nod in agreement.
“I like this gift too much. Where is Annie? Come over and let Grandpa hug you!” Rory asked with a kind
smile.
“Fourth Miss said that she won’t come down because she isn’t feeling well. She’ll come to see you
later, Secretary Webb replied gently.
“Sigh, that child…“
“Webb, frame this painting for me and hang it in my study room. That way, I can see it from time to
time. Rory sighed. Secretary Webb nodded and carefully put away the painting.
When Skyler saw that her grandfather valued Annie’s gift so much, she almost exploded in anger. Her
eyes were red with hatred
Originally, she thought that her younger sister, who had never had any pocket money, would definitely
not be able to bring out any decent gifts. When it was time to present her birthday gift, she would
definitely lose face.
In the end, that cursed girl chose the easy route, she spending millions on antiques, only the shoddy
painting Annie had casually drawn!
Annie! Just you wait… You are dead!’
to find that they were inferior to
Meanwhile, Grace. pacing back and forth in the corridor, sent someone to summon Aubree.
Aubree crossed her arms and walked in front of her. Her face was not much better.
Aunt, what should we do?”
“Our methods can’t shake the position of Raya in grandfather’s heart. Their friendship became even
stable!”
“I didn’t anticipate it to be this way. The older he gets, the more peculiar his temper is. It’s irrational!”
Aubree narrowed her eyes like a viper and asked in a low voice, “Grace, Plan B, it seems that we have
to use it today.”
“Aunt, Grace said through gritted teeth, her eyes were cold.
“No, wait a little longer.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAubree patted her shoulder and sneered, “There will be an honored guest coming soon. At that time, I
have a way to turn Raya into a laughing stock and ruin her reputation!”
The segment of sending gifts continued.
When Joseph’s Song Dynasty azure kiln appeared, it triggered a small climax!
Old Master Sawle’s many friends from the antique appraisal circle were present, eager to step closer to
admire the elegance of the celadon porcelain.
As a result, Rory was extremely stingy, tightly hugging the box in his bosom, fearing that these
trembling old fellows would accidentally break his treasure!
This is a gift from my good grandson. None of you are allowed to touch it!”
Everyone laughed, and Chloe also covered her mouth and laughed.
‘Grandpa, these are the items that KS Group’s Second Madame donated at the charity auction. I knew
they were rare, sol got them for you. I hope you like them. When Joseph noticed Oscar was there, he
explained where the presents came from. “Ah! That must be Director Thorp’s personal collection!
Aiya… In terms of antiques, no one in the entire Medo can compare to him!” Rory stroked the box and
sighed.
“If my father were aware that his collection could be beneficial to you, Mr. Sawle, he would be
delighted,” Oscar said, his demeanor gentle and refined, a smile in his eyes.
Big Brother had the ability to be a peace messenger, remaining calm and collected, humble and polite

contradictory the situation. His extraordinary bearing could turn hostility into friendship.
“Grandpa! This is the birthday gift I prepared for you!” Grace’s sweet voice suddenly came.
Everyone could not help but focus on her, but their eyes were somewhat contemptuous.
It was clear to all that Old Master Sawle had no fondness for Miss Brown, if she wished to join the
Sawle Group family, it would not be a simple task.
“Dad, the present Grace made for you is really thoughtful. She knows you’re fond of ancient art, so she
got you an authentic Song Dynasty piece at an auction.” Jake beamed, making way for Grace.
She was the niece of his lover after all, so he had to help her no matter what.
“Oh? Song Dai’s authentic work is a little interesting. Rory’s eyes lit up with interest.
Grace ordered someone to bring the drawing box over and specially had someone put on white gloves
to carefully open the scroll in front of everyone.
A few lovers of treasure appraisal went up.
But in the next second, Rory’s face darkened a little. He only said lightly. “Thank you.”
At this time, someone in the group asked, “This… is it really the authentic work of the Song Dynasty?
Could it be fake?
