Priscilla’s face turned pale instantly. She was merely stating the truth. Felix wasn’t bad compared to the average children, but he was far from being as bright as Jonathan.

However, she still didn’t dare to offend Miranda, With a sheepish smile, she explained, “Ms. Miranda, what are you talking about? All the children in our class are the smartest.”

Her statement brought a slight sense of relief to the hearts of the mothers present.

After all, no one wants to hear others speaking ill of their own children.

Cecilia understood then, that Priscilla wanted to avoid offending anyone, striving to be a person. that everyone liked.

The only person in this world liked by everyone is the person on the money bill.

The gathering was underway.

The mothers chatted about their respective husbands and children, mostly sharing the ups and downs of their family lives.

Cecilia struggled to join in the conversation, finding it difficult to remember each of them. After all, not everyone possessed Nathaniel’s photographic memory.

Pricilla stepped forward. “Ms. Cecilia, don’t be shy. It’s perfectly normal not to know anyone at first. You’ll gradually get to know everyone.”

Cecilia glanced at her, suddenly have an idea.

“Mrs. Veymar, how long have you been a member of the parents‘ association? Nearly a year, hasn’t it? Do you know all these people?”

Upon hearing this, Priscilla immediately responded with pride, “Of course, I was the one who helped them at first.”

After she finished speaking, a sense of desolation washed over her. All the rich man’s wives she had once led into the parents‘ association shunned her, considering her incapable. None of them would even communicate with her.

Priscilla was taken aback. “Why do you need their information?”

“I’ve always had a bit of a problem with recognizing faces,” Cecilia explained. “But for Jonathan’s sake. I’m willing to put in the effort. When I get home, I’ll study their photos until I remember

them all.”

Hearing that she was doing it for her child, Priscilla no longer harbored any doubts. However, she wasn’t willing to work for nothing.

Cecilia pulled out a box from her pocket. “You’ve taken such good care of me, so I’ve specially

prepared a gift for you.”

She opened the exquisite box, revealing a pair of beautiful emerald bracelets. The bracelets were incredibly refined, hand–carved from the finest nephrite. Their value was estimated to be at least a couple of million.

“I can’t accept such a precious gift,” Priscilla hurriedly declined..

She might said that, but deep down, she really wanted it.

Cecilia saw her Instagram post about how a family heirloom emerald bracelet supposedly gifted by her mother–in–law was a fake. The real one had been given to her sister–in–law.

Consequently, Cecilia specifically purchased a pair of nephrite bracelets.

Taking into account that Priscilla’s husband ran a rather small business and getting Dorothy into preschool required pulling many strings, Cecilia knew better than to give overly expensive gifts. Not only would it arouse Priscilla’s suspicion, but it would also make her feel as though she was cheapening herself.

“It’s not a lot of money, just over a million. I spend more than this on a casual shopping spree. This is just a small token of my affection. I’ll take it as you looking down on my gift If refuse.”

Priscilla had never imagined that Cecilia was so wealthy. A bracelet worth over a million was: something she couldn’t buy, even if she asked her husband.

Yet, Cecilia gave it to her without batting an eye, even claiming that it wasn’t much.

“All right, I’ll accept it then. As for their information, I’ll have it ready by tonight and send it to you,” she said.

“Thank you.”

“From now on, we’re friends,” Priscilla said with a warm smile. “If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll do everything I can to help, no doubt about it.”

Not far off, Miranda was engaged in conversation with a group of fellow mothers, occasionally glancing in their direction.
