“Hope you like it.” Elaina took out the gift she had prepared from her bag. The gift box was not big and did not look conspicuous.
Nitzan did not let Takvor pick it up, nor did he reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Jalen. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take it. Ella will get tired if she holds it for too long.”
Everyone was shocked.
Elaina was speechless.
Jalen was helpless. He knew that Nitzan wanted him and Elaina to get back together. But did Nitzan have to act so obviously?
Jalen walked over and took the gift box from Elaina. He said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. I’m giving it to your grandpa, not you,” she said.
She really did not give Jalen any face. Jalen did not care. Anyway, he was used to it.
The gift box was delivered to Nitzan. Nitzan did not hesitate and directly opened the box. An old vase appeared in everyone’s sight.
A vase?
And such an old one?
Some people could not help but whisper, “Maybe she didn’t have enough money to buy a decent gift, so she bought such an old one?”
“It shouldn’t be. I heard that she is Mr. Dorthea’s last disciple.”
“She is just a disciple. It is normal that she doesn’t have money.”
Everyone was watching Elaina make a fool of herself. She gave Nitzan an old thing. This time, she would definitely anger Nitzan.
Alisha thought the same. No matter what, Joyce’s painting looked normal. But Elaina… She sent an old thing! Maybe she bought it in a stall.
Alisha could not help but say, “Ms. Gainsford, today is Mr. Halton’s birthday banquet. Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to give something that others have used?”
“Yes, this is a disrespect to Mr. Halton” Someone agreed. It was one of Alisha’s good friends, who had disliked
Elaina for a long time.
Elaina glanced at them. She remembered an old saying that birds of a feather flock together. Alisha and her friend were so much alike.
It was fine if they were ignorant, but they also liked to steal the limelight..
Elaina did not speak. In their eyes, she seemed to admit it. This made Alisha and her friend extremely happy.
Joyce, who was next to them, had a worried expression. She was also afraid that Elaina would anger the Halton family, but then she thought of what the shop assistant had said that day in the shop.
She got the painting for nothing. The shop assistant said one could get it for free if he or she spent several million dollars or more in the shop. This meant that the thing Elaina bought must be expensive.
The only thing she was uncertain about was the thing Elaina bought that day was the vase or not.
“Jalen, Ms. Gainsford…”
“Shut up!”
Jalen interrupted her. He had never thought that Alisha would be so noisy in the past. Why did she lose her basic etiquette after returning from abroad this time?
Alisha’s expression changed. She bit her lips. Even if she was unwilling, she did not dare to speak again.
Seeing this, Alisha’s friend, who was beside her immediately, stood up to support Alisha. “Mr. Halton, Alisha did not say anything wrong. Did Elaina give this to your grandfather on purpose?
“In my opinion, she is cursing your grandfather. She definitely has bad intentions.”
Everyone in the room was a little tense. At this time, if Jalen didn’t say anything, others would think that he was unfilial.
Jalen’s face was dark. Although he didn’t know about the vase Elaina sent, he knew that the one Elaina sent couldn’t be a bad one..
Everyone was waiting for Nitzan to get angry, but Nitzan seemed to be attracted by the vase and did not hear the noise around him at all..
Jalen was also very helpless. He thought to himself, Grandpa, look what’s happening around, okay? You can look at the vase later. Shouldn’t you say something for Elaina now?
As if sensing his gaze, Nitzan looked over in dissatisfaction. “You can’t even protect your woman. No wonder Ella doesn’t like you.”
Alisha and others were shocked.
Elaina was speechless.
