The tall and thin John was a little surprised by his question.

He replied politely, “Mr.Smith, milady’s name is Jessica.”

Jessica? lan broke into a frown.

“Is she American?”

John answered, “Yes, she is.”

She was American! lan’s heart thumped wildly again.

He then asked, “Does she go by any other name?”

“Yes, John paused and then said, “She also goes by Queenie Schmidt lan lowered his eyes in

disappointment when he heard the unfamiliar name.

He stared at the two gems in his hand.

Suddenly, he pointed at them and asked, “How did she get this?”

John smiled.

“Ma’am said that a friend who has already passed away had given it to her.Since it’s that friend’s

granddaughter’s birthday today, she shall return it to its original owner.”

A friend who had already passed away had given it to her…

That friend must be Yvette.

lan’s disappointment grew even stronger.

He shook his head, feeling like he must have lost his mind.

Although he knew very well that Yvette had already died twenty years ago, the moment he heard a bit of

news about her, he could not help but wonder if she was still alive.

He lowered his gaze and put the other gem into the box.

Then, he sighed.

As he had only just recovered, he couldn’t stand for too long.

Thus, lan turned, went up the stairs and toward the VIP lounge to rest.

Justin didn’t understand why his father-in-law had suddenly become depressed.

He followed after him and asked, “Uncle lan, what’s wrong?”

lan waved him off.

“It’s nothing.You get back to the party”

Justin held his arm and said, “I’ll take you upstairs, and also check in on Nora along the way.”

Nora hated crowds the most.

Besides, she wasn’t the star today, so she had been hiding upstairs the whole time.

Pete:”???”

Brandon wailed,”…To think I trusted you so much and started studying how to cut off my little willy

without any pain! I’m lucky that I haven’t gotten around to doing it yet! Sob!”

After a moment of silence, they suddenly burst out laughing.

Children’s laughter was contagious.

The whole party livened up because of their laughter.

In a corner one was paying any attention to, Xander stood all by himself and looked around blankly.

He didn’t have a single friend here.

Apart from the three gifts from his relatives, there was no one else here who would bring gifts for him.

“Wow! Did you see? Princess Lucy gave Cherry a diamond hairpin that she made! She’s so good with

her hands! That hairpin is really pretty!”

“Mia also drew a picture for Pete! And Brandon gave Pete his favorite plane!”

“When is my birthday? I want gifts too!”

In the children’s world, how expensive a gift was didn’t matter.

What mattered was the amount of sincerity in the little gifts that the classmates gave one another.

Xander clenched his jaw.He balled up his little fists tightly.He suddenly wanted very much to go back,

return to the basement, and lock himself up.

Just as his imagination was running wild, a big warm hand suddenly stroked his hair.

Xander was taken aback.

He looked behind abruptly and saw Nora standing behind him.

The woman was very tall and slim.

Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly downcast.

When he raised his head, the woman tugged her trousers up a little with her long and slender bandaged

hands, and then she slowly squatted down.

She rested her chin on her hands, looked at him at eye-level, and said, “Happy birthday, precious.”

Xander’s cheeks slowly started to burn.
