Bab 277: Enduring Inward Grievance and Indignation

With the arrival of Uncle Henry Quinn, dinner officially began. Although it was Aunt Wendy Patwin's birthday banquet, the attendees were all blood relatives, and the atmosphere was not as grand as a formal banquet. Given Henry's status and position, extravagant celebrations would inevitably invite criticism and speculation, possibly leading to unfavorable rumors.

So, why not keep it simple with family members sitting around a table, enjoying a modest meal? the atmosphere was harmonious.

After dinner, Cynthia presented carefully selected gifts. As expected, Wendy's eyes lit up, and her face beamed with joy upon seeing them.

Chris couldn't help but express his surprise, asking, "Is this the same blue diamond that appeared at the Forseby auction last night?"

Cynthia nodded, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Chris couldn't help but sigh in his heart—indeed, wealth brings generosity.
