Chapter 134 The Silent Crowd
At Max’s acquiescence, the employees brought out the box for the draw.
“Since it’s already prepared, let’s start.”
At the wave of his hand, the employees began the draw.
The employee drew Belle’s name, and unexpectedly, Natalie’s name next.
Natalie put down her wine glass when her name was called.
“What did you get for my grandpa?” Shawn asked softly.
“It’s a secret. You’ll find out later.”
The employees went to retrieve the gifts. Natalie and Belle stood before Max. One was dressed in silver, and the other in black.
The both of them looked stunning from behind.
Unfortunately, when viewed from the front, Belle was clearly better-looking.
Belle straightened her back with a satisfied and haughty look on her face.
The employees brought out two wooden boxes of considerable size. However, Belle’s box surpassed Natalie’s in terms of its size and exquisiteness.
Natalie’s box was very aged and did not have any designs or decorations.
Max asked, “Whose shall we see first?”
He said so casually and without much thought.
Natalie coming to his birthday celebration was already the best gift he could ever receive. He was glad that she was gifting him anything, even if it was just an old box.
Belle glanced at Natalie. “Old Mr. Watsons, why don’t you look at Natalie’s gift first? She is thoughtful and will surely give you a present that you’ll like…”
Upon hearing her words, all of the guests became curious instantly.
Natalie wore a designer gown and was constantly by Shawn’s side.
What gift would such a woman present?
Max immediately saw that Belle was trying to ruin Natalie with her flattery, but he remained calm and asked in his usual tone, “What do you think, Natalie?”
“I’m fine either way.”
Hearing this, Belle laughed. Things were all going according to her plans.
“Old Mr. Watsons, since Natalie has agreed, let’s look at hers first…”
