Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1253
Before any of the guards could make a move, however, the receptionist—who had been sitting by a table at the entrance this entire time—suddenly shouted, “A guest has sent over prestigious gifts for Lady Serenity from the Smith family!”
Upon hearing that, everyone immediately fell silent. While Yana and the others simply exchanged glances of dismay, Georgia found herself trembling as all of them slowly turned to look at the entrance, slight curiosity reflected in their eyes.
What on earth was happening? Prestigious gifts from a guest? And they were for the old lady of the Smith family of all people! Given the ‘prestigious’ part of the gifts, it was clear that whatever the guest had sent over, they were most definitely greater than any of the previous presents that the other guests had gifted Georgia. After all, gifting someone with a prestigious present was far from a common practice.
While it was obvious that the gifts themselves would definitely be of great value, the more important thing was that for a person to be able to hand out such gifts, they most definitely had to have an extraordinary status and identity.
They were all so sure about this since rules of gifting had already been present from ancient times. Essentially, if a person simply presented an ordinary gift, the receptionist was to only mark it down in the entry. If the gift was a large one, the receptionist would then have to stand before expressing their gratitude on behalf of their master. However, if a prestigious gift was presented, not only did the receptionist have to stand up, but they even needed to declare the gift’s presence loudly!
Even if a prestigious gift were to be sent over without the one gifting being present, the receptionist was still expected to follow the rules and declare the gift’s presence.
With that in mind, those from the Sier family continued looking at the entrance in amazement. Yana herself—whose anger had peaked from the slap just minutes ago—found her rage momentarily suppressed.
However, she quickly snapped out of it. Still cupping her face, she then sneered, “How absolutely shameless… To think that you’d actually send gifts over to yourselves while attending the Sier family’s birthday party! It’s obvious that you’re the senders! After all, doing so would disallow my grandma to continue ridiculing you! Aren’t I right?”
“I’ll have to agree with Yana on how shameless you’ve become, Serenity… While it’s true that I treated you as a rival in the past, your unbearable hypocrisy makes me ashamed to even admit that now! Have you lived so long that you’re now able to do just about anything?” scowled Georgia as well.
As the guests turned to look at the Smiths with eyes reflecting greater disdain than before, Yana sneered, “Very well then! I’d like to see for myself what this poor loser is capable of presenting to all of you! Haha!”
Hearing that, the guards simply looked at each other before holding their breaths like everyone else already was. Nobody could deny that all of them were both nervous and curious as they waited for the receptionist to announce what the gifts were.
“The first gift is a top prosperity jewelry set!”
“…W-what…?”
Upon hearing that, everyone was instantly stunned. After all, just as its name suggested, a top prosperity jewelry set consisted of only the highest quality jewelry. What more, a set of such jewelry had to cost at least a million and five hundred thousand dollars!
