Chapter 155 Deadly Pale
Linda was still full of confidence. After all, Mabel liked this kind of thing and what they prepared looked luxurious. Everyone could tell that it cost a lot.
The eyes of all the guests were fixed on the gift as it was slowly unwrapped.
However, when the six pairs of jade bracelets were presented, all the Kings were shocked!
Especially Mabel! Her hands shook violently and she clenched Nova’s wrist tighter.
As Zona noticed Mabel’s reaction and she felt revenged.
Mabel looked extremely dissatisfied. But she couldn’t lose her temper in public.
Kelly was stunned. She didn’t know why the Kings all became furious.
Sian panicked. She glanced at Linda quickly and motioned her to take the bracelets away.
But Linda misunderstood. She smiled and said, “The six pair of bracelets were hand–made from natural jade. Kelly watched the craftsmen as they made them. It must be Kelly’s sincerity that she could get such good bracelets for Old Mrs. King.”
Mabel was more furious that her anger was even sensed by the guests.
Some guests who knew the reason of Mabel’s anger were all taken aback at the sight of the
bracelets. How could Kelly prepare such a gift! It would be too coincidental if she didn’t know the twists and turns of such jade. There was one thing that was taboo to Mabel!
And Kelly coincidentally prepared that very taboo as gift!
Kelly panicked. It’s not right! Something is wrong!
Why do they all look dreadfully shocked?
Linda didn’t know what was going on and kept introducing in smiles, “Six pairs, and today is Old Mrs. King’s sixty–sixth birthday…”
“Stop!”
Nova hurriedly tried to stop Linda.
Linda frowned. What is this stupid bitch doing? She thinks our gift is better than hers so she
doesn’t allow me to introduce it?
I won’t stop for your shit.
Kelly’s expression went awry. Something is wrong! Something must be wrong! Just as Kelly was to stop Linda, Linda had continued in self–satisfaction, “The jade is excellent. See, Mrs. King, the dark lines on them are delicate and clear. These bracelets…”
However, Linda’s description of the patterns completely irritated Mabel. Mabel thudded her hand
on the table and roared, “Get out!”
Red in the eyes, trembling and raging, Mabel didn’t seem so graceful at this moment.
“Mrs. King, what happened? You can’t just stop me because Nova wanted me to stop. I haven’t finished yet. You can’t tell which one is better if I…”
“I’ve told you to stop!” Nova interrupted Linda in cold voice.

Zona sneered in her heart! Finally, it’s coming.
Kelly was now sure that she had made a mistake. In a flurry, she tried to explain herself, but
Nova, in a disappointed look, had begun speaking. “Cousin Kelly, I’ve told you before that grandma doesn’t like this kind of thing and you shouldn’t buy it! Why did you still bring such thing as gift?”
All the guests were stunned.
It turned out that Old Mrs. King disliked the gift. But, judging from Mabel’s strong repulsion to the jade bracelets, the bracelets must be Mabel’s taboo. The kind of jade must have involved
some unmentionable secrets!
All the Kings darkened their face. Henry announced on the spot, “Put the jade bracelets away
and let Miss Kelly Bush bring it away.”
The steward hurriedly grabbed the gift box and sealed the bracelets in the box. When the
steward handed the box back to Linda, she had been stunned.
Kelly’s face also went deadly pale!
