In the hall.
Elise gave the gift.
Originally, she thought that it was over.
After all, at this kind of birthday party, if it weren’t for at special relationship, one definitely wouldn’t
prepare a gift.
At that moment, Marlene suddenly said, “I also prepared a gift for Blanca.”
Blanca was obviously touched. “You are all too polite.”
“It’s just a small gift.” Marlene took out a gift box from her delicate little bag and said while opening it, “I
saw that you weren’t wearing anything on your wrist before, so like Elise, I picked a bracelet for you.
See if you like it.”
Marlene took it out.
A blue gemstone bracelet attracted everyone’s attention in an
instant.
One could tell that it was worth a lot of money.
It was much better than the one Elise had given Blanca.
Elise was amazed by the bracelet in front of her.
“Do you want to try it on?” Marlene said.
“It’s too precious.” Blanca hastily refused.

“It’s not precious. You’re so beautiful today. I’m afraid this bracelet doesn’t match you,” Marlene
deliberately said.
These words sounded ordinary.
It made Elise feel embarrassed.
It seemed like a sarcastic remark that the bracelet Elise gave Blanca didn’t match her at all.
It caused Elise’s face to blush.
“I’m flattered.” Blanca looked a little shy.
“Let me help you put it on.”
“Thanks.” In front of everyone, of course, Blanca could not reject it.
Once she put it on, Elise’s bracelet looked too ordinary and even cheap.
Elise was really embarrassed at that moment.
“It goes well with your crown,” Marlene hurriedly said. “I didn’t realize that Hayden had such good
taste.”
“Did Hayden pick it?” Blanca was a bit surprised.
At the moment, Hayden was absent, socializing with his two brothers.
Laurel couldn’t help but glance over there at that moment.
She saw Hayden drinking and chatting.
But he looked over.

It was as if he had been paying attention to her. So he met her eyes as soon as she looked at him.
Laurel withdrew her eyes.
She quietly listened as her elders continued to chat.
“I didn’t know Hayden was so sweet that he went shopping with you. I’ve heard that young men at his
age don’t want to spend time with their parents,” Blanca said.
“Only inconsiderate kids are like that. Whenever Bruno is free, he will accompany me.” Elise didn’t
forget to praise her son.
“So did Bruno pick the gift for my mom?” Laurel asked with an innocent look on her face.
She looked so harmless.
But her words embarrassed both Elise and Bruno.
Anyone could see that the bracelet was plain.
“Bruno is busy all this time. He just participated in the Outstanding Youth Contest yesterday, so he
didn’t have that much time.” Elise hurriedly made an excuse, just wanting to change the topic.
“Hayden seemed to have participated in it too,” Laurel said.
Her expression was innocent.
“The kid is lucky. He participated in it just for fun. Neither his. father nor I ever got our hopes up,”
Marlene responded lightly. “We didn’t expect him to be selected with Bruno.”
Her tone was humble.

However, Bruno felt humiliated.
After all, Elise made it sound like Bruno had spent a lot of
time on the contest, while Marlene said Hayden was casual about it.
However, they got the same ranking.
This meant Bruno was not as good as Hayden.
Laurel smiled secretly.
It was fine if Marlene said it unintentionally, but if she said it on purpose, she was really shrewd.
She used a few words to make the Scott family lose face.
Fortunately, Elise was very good at socializing, and naturally, she wouldn’t say much about topics that
were unfavorable to her. She hurriedly pulled her daughter. “By the way, Nellie, you want to say
something to Laurel, don’t you?”
Nellie hadn’t even wanted to come today.
With bruises on her face, even though they were covered up by makeup, she still didn’t want to come
and apologize to Laurel.
But Nellie couldn’t resist the pressure from her parents and brother, so she came.
Originally, Nellie wanted to see how her mom would humiliate Laurel’s mother. She didn’t expect that
her mom would be outdone, and now, even her family was being taunted.
Nellie was angry, yet she had to apologize.

Chapter 31 Hamliation
She twisted her body in displeasure, clearly reluctant.
Elise pinched Nellie from behind.
Nellie endured the pain. As a young lady, she paid attention to her public image.
She kept her smile and heard her mom say, “Nellie is immature. Yesterday, she got jealous and felt that
her brother had been snatched away by Laurel, so she said a few capricious words, causing Laurel to
be u pset. Nellie felt guilty at home for a day and said she must apologize to Laurel.”
Laurel really admired Elise.
Elise conveyed several meanings.
On the one hand, she hinted that Bruno and Laurel had a good relationship that made Nellie jealous,
and on the other hand, Elise hinted that her daughter was kind and was afraid that Laurel would be
angry, so she had to apologize no matter
what.
Laurel watched as Elise put on a show.
At this moment, Nellie had to pretend to be pitiful. She said to Laurel, “Laurel, I’m sorry. I said those
harsh words because I was afraid that my brother would be snatched away by you. I know I was wrong.
You will marry my brother, so you wo n’t snatch him away. There’s another person who loves me. I
should be happy.”
Laurel couldn’t stand such cheesy words. She didn’t know how Nellie had managed to say them.
Back then, Laurel was deceived by Nellie in this way, thinking

that Nellie was just a bit capricious and that her character wasn’t bad.
Now Laurel realized that Nellie was evil.
Laurel put on a kind face. “Actually, I know you didn’t mean that.”
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Nellie’s eyes.
It irked Nellie to apologize to Laurel. Yet it made her a little contemptuous that Laurel believed it so
easily.
Nellie thought she would give Laurel a hard time when Laurel married into the Scott family.
“It’s just that… it was your fault that you threw Shelley’s cell phone.” Laurel exposed what had
happened yesterday.
Nellie’s face went stiff.
She thought, “Is Laurel crazy?
“How could she say this kind of thing in front of the elders of the Four Great Families?”
“What?” Atwood was surprised to hear his daughter’s name at
that moment.
“Mr. Cooper, it’s just a little misunderstanding. It’s not a big deal. After all, Nellie is younger than all of
us, and we are not going to pursue the matter. But since Nellie apologized to me, she should also
apologize to Shelley,” Laurel explained.
