He’d actually thought about giving Sarah a check at first.

But he was worried Sarah might not take it, so he went with straight-up cash instead.

Sarah was stunned, not knowing what to say.

“Just take it,” Maria said, giving Ryan a pointed look. She said, “He’s always doing things his own way. If you don’t accept it, he’ll probably just leave the cash here and walk out.”

Maria thought, ‘Man, I’m so jealous.

‘On my birthday, this little punk only gives me 15 million.

‘But when it’s Sarah’s birthday, he goes all out and gives her 30 million.’

Good thing Maria was close with Sarah, or she would’ve totally lost it right there.

“Alright, I’ll take it,” Sarah said, hesitating for a moment before finally accepting the gift.

She figured she would just have to find a way to return the money later.

Ryan smirked and shot Nina a look, practically begging for praise with that annoying, smug face of his.

Nina couldn’t be bothered to respond. She thought, ‘Seriously, he’s a grown man, but he’s still so childish.

Meanwhile, over at the Swanson family’s tables, the atmosphere was so thick that one could cut it with a knife.

Everyone was looking down at their gifts, their faces burning with embarrassment.

They thought, ‘How are we even supposed to hand these out now?’

Nina had already dropped a bunch of jaw-dropping gifts right at the start, and compared to that, their little presents looked like a joke. It was almost embarrassing how little they brought.

Ethan cast a glance at the Swansons, grabbed his gift, and walked straight over to Sarah.

Ethan said, “Grandma, this is my gift for you. It’s nowhere near as fancy as Nina’s premium emerald set, just a rosary. Since I know you’re Catholic, I hope God watches over you and keeps you safe and well.”

The rosary beads were only worth about 6 thousand dollars.

Ethan wanted to give Sarah something more valuable, but he just didn’t have the money.

All the 30 million Nina gave him had already been poured into his company.

He never realized how much money running a business actually cost until he started one himself. Everywhere he turned, it was just burning through cash.

Ethan knew there was no way he could compete with the others on value, so he picked something he knew Sarah would truly appreciate.

“Oh, this gift really means the world to me,” Sarah said with a bright smile. She said, “Ethan, you’re so thoughtful.”

Ethan just gave a small smile, didn’t say anything more, and went back to his seat.

Next, Hazel and Henry came forward with their gifts in hand.

Hazel presented a painting she’d made herself.

She didn’t have much money, so she couldn’t afford anything fancy. Instead, she put her skills to use and made something heartfelt for Sarah.

Henry gave Sarah a crystal bracelet.

He’d spent a long time carefully choosing it.

It wasn’t expensive: just over three thousand dollars.

But it was all he could manage.

Sarah was delighted with the gift. She said, “Wonderful, I really love them.”

But when it came to the gifts from the rest of the Swansons, Sarah barely reacted. Her face was completely indifferent.

She just tossed out a few polite words and didn’t even bother to stick around.

She didn’t want to show her displeasure, but honestly, she couldn’t help feeling irritated.

Sarah thought, ‘Seriously, just look at what they brought: antiques worth 3 million, masterpieces worth 6 million, jewelry sets worth 10 million, and even gifts priced at 15 million.

‘Everyone is just trying to outdo each other with price tags.

‘None of them ever bothers to think about what I truly care about.

‘Back when they knew Nina booked the top floor of the Grand Crest Hotel for my birthday, they all whined about spending 3 million and kept giving Nina a hard time.

‘And what did they end up doing?

“They all showed up with flashy gifts that look good but mean nothing and cost a fortune.

‘Funny how none of them are complaining about being broke now.

Just looking at all this was enough to make Sarah want to roll her eyes.

Linda complained, “Seriously, what’s Sarah’s deal? Okay, our gifts can’t compete with Nina’s, but they’re way

pricier than what Ethan, Hazel, and Henry gave her. She showered those three with praise, but when it came to us, she totally ignored us.”
