Dauntless God Of War

Chapter 128

Seeing that Harold did not bring any gifts, Glen furrowed his brows.

But at the thought of the current situation of Harold's family, he felt relieved and immediately got up from his seat. Then he went to his room to get an envelope.

Everyone was dumbfounded by Harold's action.

What amazed them had yet to come.

Soon, Glen came out with an envelope.

Harold took out his wallet and saw that there were only his rose gold cards and some loose change inside.

He frowned at the sight of that.

The supplementary rose gold card was for Pauline and Benson, while the principal rose gold card was his. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

They were impossible to be gifted away.

Harold could only take all the loose change in his wallet.

After all, everyone had already seen the content of his wallet.

Without avoiding anyone, Harold put all the loose change into the envelope in front of everyone.

“Myron, I don't have any cash with me at the moment, and I don't know today is the baby's birthday party. Here is my token of sincerity. Please accept it. I will prepare another huge gift next time I come over and make up for this,” said Harold.

As the crowd watched in shock, Harold stuffed the monetary gift into the baby's swaddle blanket.

However, they reckoned Harold's words were only pleasantries and an explanation to muddle his way through.

At that instant, Megan grabbed the monetary gift. She took out the money and counted it.

It was one hundred and forty-four in total.

When Myron and his wife saw the sum of the monetary gift, their expression turned somber.

If you're too poor and unable to prepare a monetary gift, we will not say anything. After all, the Campbell family needed our support to live their life all these years. But what do you mean when you gave a monetary gift with the sum of one hundred and forty-four? The number brings bad luck!

The guests exchanged glances.

“Megan, what is your fiancé doing? It's the baby's first-month birthday today. The number forty-four is vile!” commented Jacob out of the blue.

He even emphasized the word “fiancé.”

Megan flung the envelope in Harold's face and furiously questioned, “Harold, what are you doing? Are you cursing my nephew? What are you up to?”

Harold did not expect the sum to be that number and was momentarily stunned. He did not evade the envelope Megan flung at him.

Letting the envelope hit his face, Harold cast an apologetic gaze at Myron and his wife.

Although Glen agreed that the number brought vile luck, he instantly stood up when he saw his daughter humiliating Harold. “Megs, what are you doing? How could you treat the guest like this? You know his family's situation. Besides, Harry said he came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. What is the big deal?”

“Mr. Zeller, it's my fault. Don't blame Megan. I'll remove sixteen and make it one hundred twenty-eight. This number symbolizes good luck,” suggested Harold.

As Harold talked, he took out the money from the envelope and stuffed the monetary gift of one hundred and twenty-eight into the baby's swaddle blanket again.

“There's no need for that! We don't need that money. You bring it back and spend it yourself. Also, you don't have to prepare another gift next time. I suppose you can't even give the sum of one hundred and forty-four by then,” mocked Megan.

Then, she threw the monetary gift back to Harold again.

Hearing her words, even Harold, who was thick-skinned, felt embarrassed.
