Young Lord of The Dragon Sect -
Chapter 239 The Extremely Deluxe Birthday Gift
Gibson's words reminded the crowd of Maximilian and Victoria, who had attracted great attention earlier.
Alfie stared at Maximilian with venomous eyes and sneered, "How indifferent and passive you are. Have you held a grudge so you don't take the initiative to present grandfather your gift?"
Victoria was panicked. It was not because she did not want to give their gifts, but she really did not prepare for it and had no birthday gifts for Grandpa Hugo.
Although Maximilian had assured her the gift, she did not believe it at all. So she did not know what to do when Gibson mentioned the gift.
Noticing Victoria's panicked face, Alfie smiled with greater joy, "Aa ha, you don't prepare it at all, do you?"
Victoria bowed her head in embarrassment, not knowing how to retort. She opened her mouth and said faintly, "I'm so sorry."
When she finished her words, there was a silence on the hall and everyone looked at Maximilian and Victoria with strange eyes.
Laura and Marcus were stunned and rooted to the spot, speechless. How should they forget to bring the gift on such an important day! Who would believe it? How would the guests present think of their family? Marcus was roaring silently in his heart. Laura's mind went blank and she could not think of anything.
"Ah ha." Alfie laughed out, "Are you kidding us? Do you regard us as mentally retarded with an excuse that you forgot our grandpa's 70th birthday gift?"
"Even if Maximilian, a loser does not care about it, as the granddaughter of our grandpa, Victoria, how could you forget it? There's no excuse for such behavior." Tommy was also blaming them.
Alfie wanted to humiliated Maximilian and Victoria, while Tommy helped his father turn aside the topic under discussion and stopped Drew from being in the limelight. The two had different purposes, but both aimed at attacking Maximilian and Victoria.
Jessica smiled and squinted at Victoria contemptuously, "Victoria, as Hugo's granddaughter, grandfather used to hold on to you first in the past. When you've got the good things, I had no choice but got whatever you left. So it's reasonable that you should give grandpa a better birthday gift than mine. How could you forget about it at all?"
"They are quite ungrateful. Perhaps they have intended to mess up grandpa's birthday banquet. Otherwise, no one can do such shameless things." Oscar said in support of Jessica.
Sylvie pulled her face and said, "It's unbearable of you. Victoria, you're so disappointing. Do you know how sad grandfather will be because of your behavior? How could you do that? If I had known you were such an ungrateful person, I would not have picked you up!"
Gibson was rejoiced and secretly applauded for his masterstroke just now that Drew could not show off and the attention of the crowed was attracted to Maximilian and Victoria.
Pop! Gibson was so excited that he pounded the table and shouted, "Maximilian, Victoria, what are going to do? Never mind making trouble before, but you should not forget grandfather's birthday gift. Or are you too poor to buy a gift?"
"Even if you don't have money to buy a birthday gift, you can let us know, and we elders will help you. But look at what you've done! You are disgracing our Wright Family!" Carson frowned and said. Drew stood by with perplexity. He didn't know about the whole thing, so he did not say anything.
Hugo looked extremely sullen and he was so angry that he even wanted to beat Maximilian to death.
However, the birthday banquet had already begun, so it was not appropriate for him to lose his temper in public. Besides, if the matter was known to more people, the Wright Family would be a laughingstock. So Hugo intended to lay it aside and deal with it later.
Just as Hugo was about to quite the matter down, the Butler rushed in.
"Congratulation! Master!" There was an excited smile on the Butler's face.
Hugo looked at the Butler in confusion, thinking that he had nothing to congratulate since his birthday banquet was messed up by the two losers. If words got out about it, it would be the laughingstock around here.
The Butler was so excited that he did not notice the oddities of Hugo and the crowd, and then he took out a gift list and read it.
"Master, there's a distinguished guest sending you generous gifts to celebrate your birthday. I'll read the gift list for you."
The Butler cleared his throat and began to read in a high-pitched voice:
"A set of pure gold statue of the four gods of Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity, Happiness."
"A pair of red corals from the East China Sea."
"A pair of Hotan jade."
"A pair of emerald ornament..."
It took the Butler nearly ten minutes to finish reading the long list, and everyone was stunned by the valuable items on the list.
Anyone who sent these gifts must have a close relation with Hugo and must be a quite rich man! The gifts given by Hugo's grandchildren were quite less precious than these things.
The crowd felt like that they were watching a movie, which presented the scene that a major minister were receiving all kinds of birthday gifts in ancient times.
Carson, Gibson and others were dumbfounded, without a clue who would be so rich and generous to give Hugo such precious gifts.
The items on the list cost at least millions of dollars in total. Carson had no idea who could give Hugo gifts which were worth several million dollars.
Gibson glanced at the guests in the hall with amazement on his face. But he found that the dignitaries who had a good relationship with Wright Family were almost here, and it was impossible that anyone else could give such precious gifts.
Alfie was also quite surprised, guessing who could it be.
The guests looked at each other in surprise and asked in a low voice, trying to figure out who gave the birthday gifts.
After a daze for a moment, Hugo felt that it made up for the disgrace just now.
With so many valuable gifts, Hugo felt that his birthday banquet would be the top in H City. There would definitely not be so many precious gifts in others' birthday banquet.
Standing up with excitement, Hugo stared at the Butler, "Who send the birthday gift and where is he? Invite him to come here and I'll express my gratitude."
The Butler bowed and said, "It's Mr. Lee."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
