The box was directly given to Gwenda.
All guests present were immediately in an uproar.
"100 million dollars is given to her? Just like that? Who's his boss?"
"Who is this Miss Evans? She's quite pretty. Could it be that the gentleman's boss wants to woo her?"
"You don't know her? She's Cecilia's manager. Her name is Gwenda Evans."
"I'm really curious about who bid for that necklace. How could he just give it away like that? That's 100 million dollars."
All guests present were whispering among themselves.
When Martin saw this, his face darkened once again and it felt like there was something lodged in his throat.
Gretchen, who stood next to him, was no longer calm too. Her fists were clenched and she looked upset.
"Who the f*ck's so blind that he chose to gift such an expensive necklace to her?!"
Justina gritted her teeth in furious disbelief.
Gretchen's eyes flashed when she heard that. Turning to look at Martin, she saw that he was staring at Gwenda with an indiscernible expression on his face. Her heart clenching, Gretchen said slowly, "Gwenda's so charming, it's natural that someone wishes to woo her."
Justina snorted with disdain. "Her? Charming? I think she's coquettish rather than charming!"
Hearing that, Martin's face darkened further as he glanced at Justina before letting go of Gretchen's hand. "I'm going outside for a bit."
Gretchen froze. "Martin? Martin..."
Justina was confused. "What's wrong with Mr. Morel?"
"I'll go take a look."
As she spoke, Gretchen went after Martin.
With Gwenda, everyone was watching her as she deliberated over whether to accept the necklace.
Seeing this, Otto felt awkward as he reminded her in a low voice. "Miss Evans, this is boss' token of regard. Please accept it."
"Where is he?"
Gwenda asked with a frown.
Otto pressed his lips together as he did not intend to tell her.
"Oh, Gwenda, just accept it."
At this point, Hattie had already guessed who the gifter was and urged Gwenda to accept it.
After a moment of impasse, Gwenda accepted the necklace in order to avoid making things awkward. "Thank you."
