Chapter 282
The chatter continued, and William could hear them clearly from the stage.
He felt a tinge of pride. How could he not be happy when his daughter was being praised? Tanya also wore a pleased expression.
However, she soon heard the voices of her two sons behind her.
“Are they blind? Clearly, Becky is the most beautiful here.”
“Exactly! Becky, don’t feel wronged. You’re our family’s most beautiful little princess. No one can compare to you.”
“Not even her.”
Rebecca’s voice was filled with grievance. “Really? Do you really think so?”
“Of course!”
“You’re our sister!”
“Don’t you remember what I said before?”
Tanya’s smile froze at that moment.
Suddenly, she found her sons‘ voices somewhat grating.
If she could hear their conversation, then Madison standing beside them could definitely hear it too. She turned her head slightly, catching a glimpse of Madison out of the corners of her eyes.
She had expected to see a sad face, but instead, she only saw Madison’s composed smile and cool gaze. It seemed as though she hadn’t heard a thing. Or perhaps she had heard everything but simply didn’t care at all.
A wave of discomfort pressed down on Tanya’s heart.
She softened her voice and warned, “Enough talking!”
Only then did the voices of her children behind her fall silent.
Upon seeing the Salle family arrive, Madison let out a sigh of relief.
Jordan spotted her and waved, mouthing, “Ms. Madison, you’re the most beautiful.”
Once the introductions were complete, everyone began presenting gifts to the two sisters.
Being daughters of the Locke family, most guests offered similar gifts.
After the guests from the business industry were done presenting their gifts, it was time for friends from both sides to present theirs.
“Becky, the beautiful Becky, here’s a pink diamond I won for you in an auction in France! This is for you!”
“Becky, happy birthday! Your fan club prepared this gift for you. Aren’t you touched?”
“Darling Becky…”
“Dear Becky…”
In stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere around Rebecca, Madison’s side felt particularly desolate.
As Rebecca received her gifts, she couldn’t help but sneak glances at Madison, her expression revealing a hint of satisfaction. She was the true heiress of the Locke family. All the connections and relationships were hers.
Who was Madison anyway?
Just a bumpkin raised in an orphanage!
Did she really think that donning an expensive dress made her a princess?
Rebecca was the one and only princess of the Locke family!
She slightly raised her chin, flashing a smug at Madison.
Seeing this, Jordan rolled his eyes and walked up to Madison. “Ms. Madison, I’ve prepared an extraordinary birthday gift for you. Come with
me!”
He grabbed Madison’s arm and led her outside the Locke residence. Many guests followed them out, curious to see what mysterious gift Jordan had in store.
Jordan pulled out a walkie–talkie and confidently called out to the other side, “Let’s begin!”
Suddenly, thousands of drones lit up in the distance.
