Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth novel Chapter 31

In the banquet hall, after Loretta had presented her gift, she thought that this would be over now.

In such a birthday banquet, one wouldn’t prepare a present especially if they didn’t share a special relationship with the birthday person.

At that moment, she heard Robert’s wife, Venus, speak, “I prepared a present for Michelle as well.”

Michelle appeared to be touched by their gesture and said, “You’re very kind.”

“It’s just a token of appreciation on my part.” As she replied, Venus fished out a gift box from her exquisite-looking pouch, and as she unveiled it she continued, “I noticed that you never wear anything on your wrist, so like Loretta, I have chosen a bracelet special for you. Take a look and see do you fancy it?”

Venus presented the bracelet.

It was a sapphire bracelet, which immediately became the centre of attention here.

At one glance, they could see that this bracelet would cost a fortune, which was a different league compared to the one Loretta had prepared.

Even Loretta was fascinated by this particular bracelet.

“Won’t you try it on now?” Venus urged.

“This is too expensive.” Michelle hastily rejected the suggestion.

“Not at all. You are so magnificent today, even I think that this bracelet is not enough to complement you.” Venus said this with intention.

It sounded like a normal remark, but it made Loretta fidget around nervously, as if her face was lost at that moment.

Venus sounded like she was giving out a snarky comment on Loretta’s bracelet, implying that it did not suit Michelle at all.

Loretta’s face was blushing fervently.

“You are embarrassing me with words like that.” Michelle immediately felt shy.

“Come, let me wear it for you.”

“Thank you.” In front of the guests, she couldn’t just straight off refuse her.

After the bracelet wrapped itself around her wrist, although both of her hands had a bracelet at the moment, when they were compared side by side, it appeared that Loretta’s bracelet was too ordinary and not as presentable.

Loretta felt extremely awkward at that moment.

“You know what? It complements your crown very well.” Venus continued to shower Michelle with praises, “I can’t believe that my precious son has such a good eye for things.”

“Is this picked by Oscar?”

At this moment, Oscar was not present for the occasion. He was dabbling in some business matters with his two brothers.

On the other hand, Hannah happened to shoot a glance in that direction.

The man who was just sipping wine and engaging in conversation a moment ago happened to meet her glance at that moment.

It was as if he was secretly watching her, and it made sense because he immediately met her eyes the moment she turned her gaze towards him.

Hannah immediately retrieved her gaze.

She continued her conversation with the elders like nothing was happening.

“I didn’t expect Oscar to be so caring that he even accompanies you on your shopping trips. I heard that most boys who are at his age would stop hanging out with their parents.” Michelle took the initiative to begin a banter.

“It happens only when the kid is immature and insensitive. My Charles would always accompany me as long as he’s free.” Loretta didn’t forget to praise her son.

“So does that mean he is the one who chose the present for mummy?” Venus asked with an innocent expression.

She looked harmless at the moment, but immediately both Loretta and Charles felt an awkwardness permeating in between them.

Those who had good eyes could see that the bracelet that they had chosen was too ordinary to the point that it was even incompatible with Michelle’s aura.

“Charles has been busy recently. He participated in ‘the selection of Outstanding and Influential Youths’ yesterday, so he didn’t have much time.” Loretta immediately cut in in an attempt to bring this topic about the bracelets to a close.
