After receiving the encouraging response from everyone, Rebecca heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Mason and grabbed the microphone near her. With her head lowered, she said shyly, “This is my birthday present for Young Master Mason—I hope you like it.”
With that, everyone looked at Mason.
However, the man who exuded the aura of a mighty king did not seem to hear her, because his profound gaze had been directed at the woman next to him the whole time.
Rebecca was furious to see that. She clenched her fists tightly as her face turned pale again.
What is he implying?
Wasn’t he looking at me just now? In an instant, the b*tch—J’Adore—seduced him away again!
Feeling that she had been deeply humiliated and without the approval from Mason, she felt as though months of practicing the piano had gone to waste.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became; she even had an urge to charge at Janet and kill her.
At this moment, the jealousy and fury within Rebecca was not something that could be described with mere words.
Seeing that she stood frozen on stage without much control of her facial expressions, Esme quickly dragged her off stage.
“Rebecca, do take note of your expression.”
Even though the Lowry Family approves of J’Adore, it means nothing if they are not married!
As Rebecca continued to clench her fists tightly, the words of comfort did not manage to reach her ears.
At 8.30 at night, the gift-giving session commenced.
According to the registered list, the host announced, “First, let’s welcome Robbie Mccoy from the Mccoy Enterprise!”
With that, Robbie snapped his fingers and a waiter pushed a trolley over, which was covered with a black cloth.
Then, he walked forward to gently lift the cloth, revealing a rock-like red gem that seemed to weigh a few kilograms.
Robbie bowed respectfully as he said, “This is a small gift from the Mccoy Family. Hope you like it, Young Master Mason.”
“Thanks, President Mccoy,” Mason replied in a lukewarm tone that did not show any surprise.
As everyone else looked at the red gem, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “Isn’t that the Taaffe stone?”
“What? Taaffe stone?”
The Taaffe stone was the latest discovered type of diamond that was named after Baron Taaffe. Because of its small amount of production, it was a rare stone that was several times more expensive than diamonds—just a mere carat cost thousands.
The stone that Robbie had just gifted weighed around 5 kilograms, which was equivalent to 5000 grams.
After converting to their local currency, its worth was around 75 million.
Hence, everyone asked in shock, “President Mccoy, is this the real Taaffe stone?”
Robbie nodded with a smile. “It is.”
In an instant, an audible gasp came from the crowd.
The Mccoy Enterprise is actually willing to spend tens of millions for a present!
This clearly shows how important Mason is in Sandfort City!
The host was also blown away by this gift but he adhered to his professionalism and continued down the name list. “Next up is Eugene Garrett.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was slightly shocked.
Eugene Garrett?
The famous inspector, Eugene Garrett?
Even he came to attend Young Master Mason’s birthday party?
As soon as the host announced his name, Eugene walked out from a corner and humbly presented his gift.
Like Robbie, he bowed respectfully and spoke in a low and steady voice. “I’ve long heard that Young Master Mason likes chess. Hence, I’m giving you a chess set. I hope that you like it.”
Mason arched his eyebrows and he nodded to express his gratitude. “Thanks, Inspector Eugene.”
Everyone else thought this present was too ordinary, so they exchanged awkward looks among themselves.
