NovelEnglishChapter 155 A Shocking Turn of Event! Shirley seemed full of confidence. We have the present that Old Madam Wickam likes, and it looks
high-end. Everyone shall see that it is expensive.
Thus, she gradually opened the present in the sight of everyone and revealed six pairs of jade
bracelets.
However, every member of the Wickam family turned pale at the sight.
Julia’s hands trembled violently as she tightened her grip on Elisa’s hand.
Rachel was relieved to see their reaction.
Julia was livid, but she could not say anything before the guests.
Linda’s expression sank as she saw their expressions. Why are they reacting like this?
At the same time, Monica panicked and looked at Shirley urgently, signaling her to take the present
away.
However, Shirley misunderstood Monica and chuckled. “These jade bracelets were all handmade with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnatural jade stones. Furthermore, Linda oversaw the making process. She wanted to gift you with only
the best, and these bracelets show her utmost sincerity and respect.”
Julia’s expression darkened further. Even the guests began to sense that something was wrong.
Those who knew the reason looked at the bracelets in astonishment. Wow, this is her present? Even if
she doesn’t know the backstory, it is too coincidental! These bracelets are Old Madam Wickam’s only
taboo!
Of all the things she could have gotten, why is she gifting old Madam Wickam these?
Linda began to panic and realize something was wrong.
Why do they seem angry?
On the other hand, Shirley remained unaware and continued to introduce the present, “There are six
pairs, so the two sixes symbolize old Madam Wickam’s sixty-sixth birthday…”
“That’s enough!” Elisa shouted for Shirley to stop speaking.
Shirley frowned slightly. What is Elisa doing? Is she stopping me because she feels threatened that
Linda’s gift is more beautiful than hers?
What the heck!
Linda’s expression turned solemn. What’s going on? Something is very wrong here! However, before
she could stop Shirley, Shirley continued delightedly, “Also, look at how beautiful the color is. Please
have a look, Old Madam Wickam. Look at the spotless and even green surface, these jade
bracelets…”
However, Julia could not stand it anymore. She slammed her hand on the table furiously before yelling,
“Get out!”
Julia looked crazed at this moment. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her body trembled with fury.
“Old Madam Wickam, what’s wrong? You can’t forbid me from explaining this gift all because Elisa
doesn’t want me to speak. Moreover, I haven’t finished introducing the gift, so how can you make a
comparison between them? I…”
“I’ve told you to stop!” Elisa interrupted Shirley before she could finish speaking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRachel sneered in her mind. It’s finally here!
Meanwhile, Linda was sure that something was wrong. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain. But
Elisa looked at her with disappointment in her eyes. “Linda, I told you not to get this present because
Grandma hate this! Why did you insist on bringing this here?”
The rest of the guests were astounded.
It turns out Old Madam Wickam does not like the present. But she wouldn’t be this angry if she only
dislikes it. That means Linda must have gotten something that is taboo. Those jade bracelets must
have triggered some bad memories.
The rest of the Wickam family also looked tensed and angry. Gareth immediately ordered, “Remove
those bracelets and tell Ms. Benett to take them with her.”
The butler grabbed the gift box from Shirley and covered it up before returning it to the stunned Shirley.
At the same time, Linda’s expression blanched.
