Chapter 26 - Giving Gifts in Succession

Alyssa said in disdain, “It’s just a hundred million. The Windsor family can afford it, but the same cannot be said for the Hart family. You have insulted Lachlan, so you will have to pay the price.”

Julius fell to the ground, not knowing what to do.

The Hart family was in a terrible situation!

“Young Master Hart, what’s wrong?” The coquettish woman did not understand business matters.

She thought that Julius had just lost a customer, but she didn’t know that the Hart family was facing a situation where they were going to be destroyed.

“Scram, you slut! Don’t bother me! No, I have to save Alyssa’s support.”

Lachlan had to admit that Alyssa was indeed very smart.

Compared to the business of the Hart family, saving Alyssa’s father was definitely more important.

If Alyssa could make Lachlan feel at ease, then it would make everyone in the Windsor family feel at ease.

Alyssa no longer paid attention to the crowd. She held Lachlan’s hand and walked towards the banquet hall.

“How was it? Are you satisfied with what I did?” Alyssa asked in a low voice.

Lachlan smiled and said, “Absolutely one hundred percent.”

“That’s good!”

“Who is this? Why is Alyssa so intimate with him?”

“Could he be her boyfriend? Impossible, this kid’s looks are average, and his taste is average. What kind of character does he have to be able to win Alyssa’s favor?”

“I want to challenge him. He doesn’t have the qualifications to be with Alyssa.”

The moment they entered the banquet hall, Lachlan attracted countless hostile gazes.

“My charm is too great.”

Alyssa sighed, her tone full of ridicule towards herself.

Her coquettish appearance was even more endearing, causing people to want to hold her in their hands.

“Indeed, your charm is too great. You should bring me to see your father’s condition first.”

Lachlan did not like being treated like a monkey by others. He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

“Hmph, you have a reason for being single.”

Alyssa pouted and snorted.

She was obviously acting coquettishly towards Lachlan, wanting to interact more with him.

However, Lachlan kept his distance from her.

Lachlan shook his head and did not continue to talk to her.

Alyssa said, “The birthday banquet is about to begin. After you finish singing my birthday song, you can treat my father’s illness, okay?”

“Okay. I should do that.” Lachlan agreed.

Alyssa walked to the front of the hall and picked up the microphone.

“Thank you for attending my birthday banquet in such a hurry. It is my honor to be able to come.”

“Miss Alyssa is too serious. It is our honor to celebrate your birthday.”

“Come, everyone, let’s sing a happy birthday song for Miss Alyssa.”

In an instant, everyone sang together.

A small cart with a few pieces of cake slowly drove over accompanied by the music.

“Come, everyone, let’s make a wish.”

Alyssa quickly pulled Lachlan to her side, afraid that he would be left out.

Miss Alyssa actually attached so much importance to him?

No one made a sound as they silently memorized Lachlan’s name in their minds.

After Alyssa finished her wish, she took the initiative to cut open the cake and took a piece for Lachlan.

“I’ll give it to you.”

Lachlan took a look at the cake and saw that the words “Alyssa” were written on it.

This was the most important piece of cake.

He smiled bitterly and said, “Thank you.”

“Alyssa, this is my wish. I hope you like it!”

Chief Webb took a brocade box and handed it to Alyssa.

“Metals? Chief Webb, you are so kind. I really like this gift.”

“Alyssa, this is a gift from me. I wish you a happy birthday.”

“Jade.”

Everyone expressed their blessings to Alyssa.

In the crowd, Julius’s eyes were filled with hatred. Alyssa actually gave the first piece of cake to Lachlan.

As a loser, what right did Lachlan have to make Alyssa attach so much importance to him?

Alyssa must have been bewitched by Lachlan’s flowery words. He must expose Lachlan’s lies.

With a thought, Julius had an idea. He said in a clear voice, “Alyssa, this is my gift to you. I know you like traditional paintings, so I specially bought a painting from Master Caden for you.”

“One million? Young Master Hart is really generous.”

“It’s actually a painting from Master Caden? He must have bought it with great difficulty.”

“Master Caden never sells his own paintings. This is the first time. Young Master Hart is really amazing.”

Hearing the praises of the crowd, Julius’s expression became much better.

He opened the painting and a beautiful scenery appeared in front of everyone.

Lachlan took a look. Wasn’t this the painting that he had sold yesterday?

He remembered that he had only sold it for four hundred thousand, yet it was sold for a million by someone else?

Alyssa’s expression softened a lot. She did like Caden’s paintings.

“Thank you, but the gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.” Alyssa shook her head and refused.

What a joke.

If a person took someone else’s benefit, then he would intentionally give that person a bit of respect.

If she accepted such an expensive gift from Julius, how could she take back the investment of the Hart family?

Hearing this, Julius clenched his teeth. He knew that Alyssa had already decided to make the Hart family bankrupt by rejecting the gift.

It was all because of Lachlan. Otherwise, the Hart family would not have fallen into such a predicament.

Fine, since that’s the case, then let’s fight to the death.

He would let Alyssa know that Lachlan was just a poor bastard.

Hearing this, Julius smiled awkwardly and silently put away the painting.

“Alyssa, everyone has given me presents. I wonder what this handsome young man beside you will give you? The two of you are good friends, so his gift will naturally not be bad.”

Alyssa was shocked.

She did not expect Julius to make things difficult for Lachlan.

She had a request from Lachlan, so she naturally did not care if Lachlan had prepared a gift or not.

Moreover, curing her father was the best gift she could ask for, so how could she dare to ask for anything else?

However, she could not say these things out loud.

If Lachlan really did not prepare any gifts, he would really lose face.

She immediately said, “Of course he did, but he will only show me his gift.”

“Alyssa, I forgot to give you a present. Happy birthday!”

As Lachlan spoke, he took out a necklace from his pocket. It was the Imperial Green Jade necklace he had bought from Claude’s Antiques Shop.

A bright light flashed in Alyssa’s eyes.

“Lachlan, thank you. Can you help me put this necklace on?”

“Alright.” 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶

Lachlan put the necklace on Alyssa’s neck.

Today, she was wearing a white princess dress. Her snow-white collarbones were completely exposed.

Adding on the Imperial Green Jade necklace, she looked extremely sexy.

Even Lachlan could not help but feel his throat itch and swallow a mouthful of saliva.

“Imperial Green Jade?”

After staring at the necklace for a long time, Julius suddenly laughed wildly.

“Lachlan, you are too funny. Can you buy a good Imperial Green Jade necklace? Why did you buy a defective one and give it to someone else? What do you mean by that?”

“Everyone can understand if you don’t have money. If you bought a keychain from a small shop, at least this can be considered your goodwill.”

“But you pretended to be rich and bought a trash Imperial Green Jade necklace to trick Alyssa. I really look down on you.”

Everyone was attracted by Julius’s words and looked towards the Imperial Green Jade necklace.

It was indeed the case.

The Imperial Green Jade was mottled with impurities and had a lot of impurities. Even the jewelry store would not sell this kind of Imperial Green Jade, because the quality was too poor.

“But this Imperial Green Jade is worth at least a few hundred yuan. It can be considered a considerable amount of value.” Julius said.

However, his words caused even more people to scoff at Lachlan.

“A few hundred yuan? Even if I throw away a few hundred yuan, I won’t feel any heartache. Is a gift worth a few hundred yuan really that expensive?”

“What kind of trash is this? Is this even worthy of being given to Alyssa?”
