Chapter - 166

Hannah’s sister heaved a long sigh. “Forget about it. I mean, everyone knows how your family’s condition is. What could you have possibly prepared, right?”

“It’s fine. At least we don’t have to suffer a loss when we try to return the gift.”

Daniel’s eyes welled up as he blamed himself for everything.

He blamed himself for not being capable enough. Daniel felt as though he was the reason why his family was being humiliated along with him.

Hannah’s mom grew irritated and rolled her eyes when she noticed her son-in-law’s reaction.

What an unlucky day! Why did I allow him to become my son-in-law again? He’s such a wimp! One who can’t even defend his own wife and daughter!

It seems like I have to take things in hand again.

Lacey’s grandmother reached for a worn-out handkerchief and told Lacey, “Today is your coming of age ceremony. You will officially be an adult after today, Lacey.”

“I don’t want you to live a lavish life, nor do I want you to make it big in life. All I want is a happy life for you for the rest of your life.”

“This gold bracelet is a family heirloom. Please accept this, okay?”

Lacey’s eye brimmed with tears because her grandmother was the only one who loved her.

However, Hannah’s sister said, “Mom, your eldest granddaughter is right here. Don’t you think you should present her with her gift first?”

Lacey’s grandmother comforted Hannah’s sister. “Don’t worry, I’ve prepared Shirley’s gift as well. This silver bracelet is for Shirley.”

Hannah’s sister sneered, “Mom, don’t you think you’re overly biased? Are you seriously going to give your eldest granddaughter a silver bracelet while you give your youngest granddaughter a gold bracelet?”

Lacey’s grandmother had an odd expression on her face, “Everyone only gets to go through the coming of age ceremony once in a lifetime. We can always celebrate Shirley’s birthday another time. Just give in to your sister’s family for once, okay?”

Hannah’s sister asked, “Give in to her? Nope! | refuse to do such a thing.”

“Shirley has a diamond ring on. Do you think a silver bracelet will be able to complement the ring she has? The gold bracelet seems more like it.”

“I mean, do you seriously think Lacey deserves the gold bracelet?”

Hannah’s sister snatched the gold bracelet without further ado and handed it over to Shirley, “Shirley, hurry up and express your gratitude to grandma.”

“Thank you, grandma.” Shirley cast a provocative peek at Lacey.

Lacey’s grandmother was beleaguered and did not know what to do next.

Lacey’s eyes brimmed with tears as she felt aggrieved, but she put on a strong front and smiled. “Thank you, grandma. I like the silver bracelet too.”

Lacey’s grandmother heaved a long sigh. “I’m glad you like it.”

She glared at Zeke as she finished her sentence.

This useless grandson-in-law! He’s not much better than Daniel at all!

Look at Jayden! He’s prepared all sorts of gifts, including a diamond ring and a famous artist’s masterpiece! What about him? He came unprepared!

Daniel is such a loser! The same goes for his son-in-law!

Zeke realized Hannah had been staring at the masterpiece Jayden presented her sister. He asked curiously, “Mom, do you have a thing for art pieces of sorts as well?”

Hannah replied, “Mm. I used to work in the museum back when I was young. I do have a thing for art pieces like this.”

Zeke tapped on his head. “Mom, I really had no idea the sort of gifts I should have prepared for you back then.”

“You should have told me you fancy artwork of sorts!”

Lacey raised her head and looked at Zeke.

Is he finally making a move after remaining silent for such a long time?

Zeke removed the painting, which was initially hanging on the wall casually, and handed it over to Hannah.

“Mom, here’s A Vase of Flowers from Margareta Haverman. Mr. Raynor, the ex-boss of the Grand Millenium Hotel had spent twenty million to get this from Suseby Auction Firm.”

“I’ll give it to you since it is what you like.”

Silence fell in the room for a moment before everyone broke into laughter.

The bunch of youngsters laughed so hard they almost cried.

They looked at Zeke as though they were looking at a foolish man.
