She Walked Away With His Twins While He Begged the Ground She Walked On novel Chapter 510

Who knows how many days and nights she stayed up to finish this. Whether a gift is expensive or not is secondary; what matters most is the genuine heart and effort put into it."

She didn't explicitly tear down Jade's gift, only focusing on the sentiment.

But to Jade, it felt like a resounding slap across the face. Her cheeks burned with humiliation.

"Evelyn..."

Her voice dripped with fragile grievance, her eyes tearing up as if she were about to start crying at any second.

Ingrid and the butler both found it incredibly inauspicious. It was the matriarch's birthday—why on earth was the Winter heiress standing there looking like she was about to weep?

She had absolutely no manners. Who was she putting on this tearful act for on such a joyous occasion?

Evelyn turned back to the butler. "Go hang this tapestry on the living room wall. Let all the guests admire it, and let everyone share in the good fortune."

"Right away, Madam. I'll have the staff hang it up immediately."

Jade's entire body went rigid. She never expected Evelyn to cherish Quinn's gift this much.

Her fingernails dug painfully into her palms, the flames of jealousy burning so fiercely she felt like her face was going to catch fire.

The guests continued to murmur amongst themselves.

Though the exact words were lost to the noise, almost all of it was praise for Quinn's embroidery, with many saying they wanted to bask in Evelyn's good fortune!

It wasn't until Richard York and Judith arrived later that the guests slowly filtered out toward the leisure areas in the garden.

Miles went up to the second-floor study with his father. Meanwhile, Jade dragged Leo over to suck up to Judith.

Leo aggressively turned on the charm, calling out, "Grandma..."

Overjoyed, Judith scooped him up into her arms and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Leo, I haven't seen you in a few days. Why does it look like you've lost weight?"

Watching Judith treat Jade's son like her own flesh and blood, Evelyn frowned deeply. She had completely lost her patience for sitting there and asked Ingrid to help her outside for some fresh air.

The moment Jade and her son arrived, the air in the living room suddenly felt entirely suffocating.

...

Quinn led the two children out into the sprawling gardens of the ancestral estate. It covered a massive area and was currently packed with guests.

In the distance, elegant pavilions and water terraces peeked through the lush trees, the ponds shimmering in the sunlight.

Some guests sat on rattan chairs beneath the corridors, chatting quietly, while others stood by the blossoming trees holding champagne. The air was filled with the scent of expensive perfume, rustling gowns, and endless laughter.
