Chapter 293
Elizabeth was a bit disappointed. The Lamont family really looked down on them! However, even though Cathrine didn’t come, she sent someone with a gift, which was not exactly an embarrassment for the Macclain family in front of the guests.
Elizabeth smiled kindly. “Thanks for making the trip! Have a seat and have some tea.”
Millard thanked Elizabeth, and had someone bring the gift over.
Elizabeth quickly told Corley to take it. Seeing it was a painting, she immediately had him unwrap it in front of everyone.
Once the wrapping was off, everyone gasped, “This is a rare masterpiece!”
“It’s a real work of art; so valuable!”
“I heard it was at an auction awhile back, and the Lamont family got it!”
The previous auction was a private one, and getting in had strict qualifications. Not only did you need to have money, but you also need to have high social status.
Elizabeth’s eyes filled with delight as she touched the painting, her eyes shining, ‘It’s so beautiful!”
Terrence was excited too, “How can we accept such a precious gift from Cathrine?”
Natalia gave Corley a meaningful look, full of joy, and whispered, “I didn’t expect the Lamont family to value Sabina so much!”
She didn’t believe that the Lamont family sent such a carefully prepared gift just for the Macclain family’s sake. It must be because of their Sabina!
Corley couldn’t help but be proud, blurting out, “Sabina, you should give Mr. Lamont a call later and thank him properly!”
A rare smile appeared on Sabina’s usually arrogant face, “I will!”
Millard went straight to Estelle, showing deep respect, “Ms. Macclain, Mr. Lamont had to go to H City today, so he couldn’t come in person. I hope you’ll understand. Now that the painting is here, we’ll leave now!”
Estelle instantly understood that Millard was trying to protect her. She got up gracefully, smiling, “Thank you, and please pass on my thanks to Mr. Lamont as well!”
“You’re welcome, Ms. Macclain. Goodbye!”
Millard had a naturally cold expression, never showing any unnecessary emotion. Even when giving Elizabeth the gift, he showed no change in his demeanor. However, when facing Estelle, he was completely respectful and humble.
The Macclain family was stunned, looking at each other in confusion.
After saying goodbye to Estelle, Millard didn’t bother saying farewell to the rest of the Macclain family, nor did he even glance at Sabina, before leaving with his entourage.
There was a brief silence in the living room. Elizabeth looked at Estelle, puzzled, “Estelle, come here!”
