Chapter 121 Gift-Giving
Camila turned to him. “I’m here for their wedding anniversary. I’m allowed to be here, aren’t I?” “Are you here dressed like that?” Gael asked.
Meanwhile, Camila smiled and explained, “I just came back from Mom’s grave. I
thought I was going to be late, so I came here right away.” This provoked Gael, and he started yelling at the man with the trumpet, “Stop it! Don’t you see what place this is? Get lost now!” That man turned to Camila, who chuckled. “Since the gifts are here, you are free to go.”
As she spoke, she raised her voice and yelled at the four men who were tossing joss money, “Are you all finished?”
That four men with empty baskets responded, “Yes, we are, Miss Brooklyn.” Camila commented, “Good. You guys can leave.” At this point, Lyla was already getting down from the stage. She pointed at Camila and yelled angrily, “Camila, what do you think you’re doing?” Camila smirked. “You purposely gave me a call telling me that today is your seventh wedding anniversary. I don’t think I could come empty-handed. So, I’ve decided to give you two-hundred and fifty worth of joss money.” Very quickly, Camila was surrounded by people. Looking furious, Florence howled, “Get lost now! Otherwise, we won’t go easy on you.” Camila grinned. “Why are you in such a rush? Your son and his wife are such a lovely couple. I’m not done with the gifts yet!” As she spoke, she took her child with her and walked forward only to be blocked by a group of people. In the event hall, there came another round of heated discussions. “She’s really here to ruin things!” “Camila is really ruthless.” “I feel that this is too much. Trumpet and joss money-she’s really cursing them!” “That’s right. In any case, they are still one family. Isn’t this a disgrace to the entire Brooklyn family?” Camila could not get through the crowd, so she stood there and smirked at Lyla. “Lyla Brooklyn, is this all you’ve got? If you have the courage to provoke me, you should also have the courage to accept the consequences!” Lyla was startled to hear that. Then, she pushed Camila. “Camila Brooklyn, you better get lost now.”
Camila caught her wrist and sneered, “Are you afraid that people would discover your true colors and that’s why you aren’t letting me in?”
