Chapter 152 Gift
The steward immediately went to the room stored gifts.
Then, everyone waited.
All knew that Nova and Kelly were cousins, and also Henry’s ex–wife and present girlfriend.
More than that, they both had strong connection to the King Family. They each had their own
supports.
Nova was supported by Mabel and Baldwin while Kelly by Orville and Sian. But Kelly saved
Henry’s life, which sealed Kelly’s victory. However, Kelly happened to have said that she would not marry Henry for the rest of her life. The whole thing became so complicated.
And the network of relationships was complex.
Everyone wanted to see the great show.
Great shows had been putting on after Henry and Nova’s divorce.
Kelly stood there because she needed to present her gift. She just waited aside.
Linda showed arrogance in her eyes. She cast a scornful glance at Nova as if Nova was to be
thrashed.
Kelly was irritated by Linda’s stupidity.
Does she have to look triumphant already?
She hurriedly mentioned Linda with a gaze, and Linda then restrained herself a bit.
Kelly took a deep breath and smiled at Nova. “Nova, I didn’t expect we would be presenting our gifts to grandma together. But, it’s our pleasure, don’t you think so?”
Kelly looked like a reliable sister. She sounded as if she was comforting a person who was about to be defeated by saying that it was merely a presentation of gifts.
Nova nodded. “I do think so.”
Kelly smiled. As she saw the steward walked out with their gifts, she said softly, “The steward is
coming.”
Each gift labeled the presenter’s name. The steward handed the unopened gift boxes to each of
them.
Nova took the gift, which she should have given to grandma in advance when grandma insisted on letting her attend the birthday party and present the gift in the party.
She didn’t expect that grandma’s true attention was to announce on the party that she had been seen as Mabel’s granddaughter, and that grandma did everything for her. She grew more afraid of grandma’s reaction to Kelly’s gift.
She even had an urge to snatch Kelly’s gift and prevent it from being presented to grandma.
Henry locked his gaze on Nova. They had been husband and wife for three years, and he could sense that Nova’s frustration was getting stronger.

Why is she so nervous? Henry couldn’t help wondering.
Zona walked over in all smiles. “It would be boring to let them unwrap the package they prepared themselves. Miss Linda, shall we give them a hand?”
Zona’s proposal fitted exactly what Linda wished. Linda also smiled. “Alright. I’ll help Kelly.”
Zona reached out to take the gift from Nova’s hand and took the opportunity to pinch Nova’s
hand with an attempt to calm her down.
Nova pressed her lips and looked away.
Then, Zona and Linda began unwrapping the package together.
Kelly was standing not far from the Mabel with a gentle smile.
Everyone was looking at them. If it weren’t Old Mrs. King’s birthday and that they didn’t need to
behave themselves, they would have stood up for a better view.
Those who was close would see clearly what’s happening without standing.
Neither Linda nor Zona hesitated to open the gift. Apparently, they were both confident in their
gifts.
In everyone’s expectation, both gifts were untied.
