Chapter 615

Someone then asked, "Does anyone know what Stella brought as a gift tonight?" "I didn’t see her go to

the reception. She probably got in when nobody was looking."

"Damn, she has no shame. Coming here empty-handed and going home with money."

Molly's eyes darkened.

When everyone was singing the birthday song, Stella secretly glanced at her phone and saw the few

missed calls.

She quickly called Felicity back.

However, Felicity’s line was busy.

Stella texted Felicity, [where are you now?]

Just as her text was sent, there was a sudden commotion at the venue.

Before long, the news got out.

The account book at the reception was soaked in alcohol.

When Baldwin informed Cordelia, she furrowed her brows.

The account book at the reception was quite important since they had to reciprocate the gift based on

the who-gave-what recorded in the book.

It would be inappropriate to return gifts that were too cheap or expensive compared to the original gift.

The most courteous way would be to reciprocate the gifts according to the account book.

But now, the book was drenched in alcohol. Not only were the writings smudged, but some pages were

also irretrievable. It was impossible to make out what was recorded.

Dahlia and Cyrene were more anxious than the others. They spent quite a lot of money on this

celebration and invited many guests respectively.

They were responsible for the gifts given by their own guests. Now that the account book was ruined,

they could not keep the records in check.

"How could they let this happen? There are so many people watching. How could wine be spilled on

the book?" Dahlia could not help but complain.

Cyrene was also upset, but the accountant was an old retired director of the company who Cordelia

regarded highly, so she suppressed her urge to talk badly about the situation. She proposed an idea

instead. "Mom, since everyone is still here, let’s re-register all the gifts. If there are any balance errors

in the records, I'll ask someone to trace it back."

Cordelia frowned. It was indeed unseemly to conduct a re-registration, but there were far too many

guests. Without the account book, they would be unable to register all the guests clearly, and it would

be a big matter if it led to inappropriateness when reciprocating the gifts.

Cordelia contemplated for a while and told Baldwin, "Go make the arrangements, Baldwin."

Baldwin nodded. By using a mic, he informed everyone about the situation.

Returning favors and maintaining interpersonal relationships were very important aspects of the

corporate world of Rivera. When everyone heard about it, they were very understanding and

cooperative during the reregistration.

Baldwin arranged extra help from four people. That way, the re-registration could be done faster.

When there were only a few people left, Molly glanced at Stella. "Miss Jewell, don't you need to register

as well?"

When Molly said that, everyone's eyes were on Stella.

The good thing about re-registering was, those who did not bring a gift could be spotted easily.

Someone quietly said, "She really did come empty-handed."

"In the jewelry exhibition previously, Mrs. Kane was so nice to her. How could she not bring a gift?"

"She's just an illegitimate child. What manners do you expect her to have? Of course she would take as

much advantage as she can."

Stella paused. 'So, she was waiting to embarrass me?

'No wonder the account book was ruined.

'Molly really went to great lengths to make a fool out of me.'

Just as Stella wanted to speak, the accountant suddenly said, "Miss Jewell did register. Three gifts

even. I remember them clearly. There was an opal brooch, crystal cross necklace, and a pair of crystal

cups."

Keegan froze then shot a confused look at Aldor.

Aldor had no idea as well, as he only registered one gift for Stella.

At that moment, the lights of the venue dimmed, and spotlights were aimed at the corridor by the lake.

Before anyone could be seen there, an ethereal voice of a soprano broke the silence.
