Chapter 921: Chapter 919: MAINLEY BANQUET 7 – THE PERRY SISTERS’ GIFTS
After Tiana’s wonderful gift that outshone others, the process continued but no one received the same enthusiasm as Tiana.
Gertrude, at some point, had disappeared. Perhaps too embarrassed with what she had done, and getting admonished by an elder was truly an embarrassing thing.
More gifts were given and after a while, it was the Perry sisters’ moment and all eyes were on them.
"What do you think she is going to give?"
"Who knows? She doesn’t lack money!"
Not just the guests but the old man himself was very curious.
When he tried to look into Diamond, he hit a hard wall. There was basic nonsense information available and it could be seen that someone was being deliberate and hiding what was needed.
Upon seeing that, he didn’t dare continue lest he anger whoever was doing so.
From what he has seen, Diamond herself was a vengeful spirit. If you provoke her, she will deal with you without hesitation. Moreover, he heard some whispers recently on how she was working with the police on a serious project.
Someone so young and capable, it was good to remain friends than make an enemy out of her.
With that in mind, he hoped that Tiana and his other descendants would continue to interact more with her.
Setting that aside, he was quite curious about what she would give. It should be something extraordinary, right?
Diamond wasn’t nervous when she went to give her gifts to the old man. With the boxes held by the bodyguards, she naturally had them placed right in front of him before she looked at him with a wide smile.
Unlike these young generations who look at the old man as if he were a deity, Diamond simply saw an elder and one who was very interesting to chat with.
Reverence, she felt none. She didn’t follow up on how these old men and women conquered the world and became who they are today. What was the point of her learning about other people when she was just herself?
Moreover, she simply didn’t like bowing her head to anyone. As for what others would think. She had stopped thinking in that direction for a long time.
The old man was pleased with the way Diamond carried herself in front of him. Unlike the younger generation who fear him and look at him as if they were looking at a tiger. Diamond gave him the feeling of being a grandfather and not a chairman.
"Grandpa, happy birthday!" Diamond cheerfully wished the old man and Ruby echoed next to her, following her steps.
Chairman Mainley looked at the Perry sisters with affection, very fond of them. Such beautiful sisters, who wouldn’t love them?
"Grandpa, we didn’t bring much but just these few. I hope that you will like it!" with a beaming smile on her face.
Chairman Mainley beamed as he listened to that and looking at the boxes in front, he wanted to twitch. How could she say they didn’t bring much?
"How can I not like it? Show me what you brought?" he enthusiastically urged, completely different from how he acted when receiving other gifts.
Tiana watched that with a helpless smile, no longer feeling jealous. After all, she had seen how biased her grandfather was to Diamond but others seeing that for the first time, couldn’t help but wonder if there was something that was happening that they didn’t know.
"Umph! Could it be that they know each other?"
"Don’t have dirty thoughts! Do you want to be chased out of here?"
Waylon and Sean both watched with proud smiles on their faces, completely oblivious to several people watching them, and in the end, traced their line of sight.
Diamond and Ruby in front weren’t aware of what was happening there, but only interested in dealing with the gifts and returning to their seats.
"Grandpa, I recently made a new wine. Very intoxicating but without bringing harm to the body. It nourishes the body and keeps the body fit. When I thought of a perfect birthday gift, I thought of you. I remember hearing from you that you can’t drink too much," without hiding what she had brought, she directly said it before she could open the box.
The old man’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
"You made it?"
"Yes, I did and I am pretty good at it!" she shamelessly boasted, a smile on her face and it made the man erupt in hearty laughter.
"Good! Good! I love this kind of dedication. Come on, show me!" he urged her happily, his face blooming like a chrysanthemum.
This was the second time they were seeing the old man very happy like that. They couldn’t help but wonder what was so special about home-brewed wine. At the same time, hearing about the wine, made everyone understand that Diamond was bringing in something new again.
Those who were used to buying special products from her were so happy knowing that they would be getting something good. It’s just that, would they be able to afford the wine?
Diamond didn’t waste any time but let the bodyguards open the boxes before she crouched to pick the woody Immortal Dew wine, the SV one.
"Wow!" The hall was filled with amazed gasps upon seeing the white jade bottle.
"Child, you store your wine in a jade bottle?" Chairman Mainley asked incredulously, his face twitching upon seeing the bottle of wine.
Jade was expensive and spiritual when kept over time. Above all, it was a precious stone that wasn’t easily acquired in their country. If one wanted to get his hands on such a fine piece of jade, they would have to go to other continents to get it.
Just a simple bracelet could be purchased for over a million. Then what about a whole jade bottle?
Diamond grinned as she held the bottle while walking towards the old man and stopped a few steps away from him.
"It’s a very special wine, and it deserves the best. You will understand in a minute," she mysteriously said, capturing the attention of many wine lovers.
But the ladies weren’t so impressed.
"She is showing off again!"
"What knowledge does she have of winemaking?"
"Umph! Always thinking of ways to mooch money from others. Very shameless!"
Some people were simply too fond of eating sour grapes.
