Chapter 325
“Did you get
this from the shop with the two large bears out front!” Richard asked as he approached.
All three of them were drawn in by that bear at the entrance. Like father, like son, and like grandson.
Kelvin immediately knew what had happened upon the sight of the two bags together on the table. Yvonne must have already eaten her cupcake since they had bought identical ones before he returned.
Agreeing with Richard that she shouldn’t eat too much before dinner, he put the cupcake with the other two “Give this to Jeremy” Then, he called a servant to take it to the Adler family.
Upon returning. Jeremy was taken aback by the sight of three cakes on the table, his mind momentarily blank. “What’s all this about?” he wondered. Why would all three of them suddenly buy me cakes?”
The servant stood beside him, seriously repeating the nonsense Richard had instructed. These are all rewards for your hard work in school”
That’s so kind, but I’m not hard–working at all. With his sharp mind, he handled everything with ease.
Opening the box, he peered inside, surprise coloring his voice. “Why pink?” He turned to the servant, suspicion in his eyes. “Are you certain this is mine, not for my sister?”
The servant kept a straight face and answered firmly, “Yes, it’s for you,” dispelling any doubt he might have felt.
“Alright.” Jeremy responded, his voice tinged with disappointment. Probably all those years of pressure must have finally sparked some guilt in their hearts, and these cupcakes worked as a peace offering
The cupcakes were identical, all from the same store and even seemingly the same kind of item based on their packaging. The lack of effort was obvious, almost insulting.
After taking a bite and finding it delicious, he remembered his sister. Looking up, he asked the servant, “Does my sister have any of this cake!”
The servant hesitated for a moment and sisook her head.
“They didn’t get one for Yvonne?” Jeremy asked in disbelief. “How could they? This has to be a joke. Tell me this isn’t my last meal.”
He was flattered, but feeling a bit unfairly favored over his sister, he feigned seriousness and muttered, “It’s not right how much my family dotes on me, even after all three of them have wronged me.”
He was talking about how they had all three beaten him up, likely the only time in his life he had ever been beaten up.
The maid was confused, not understanding a single word he said.
After slicing the bunny cake in half, Jeremy paused, then carefully put it back together. “I’ll share it with Yvonne.”
The maid tried to stop him when Stefan entered. She curtsied, greeted him, and excused herself. Even as she walked away, she thought about how fortunate Stefan’s timing was, saving her from having to explain herself,
Stefan walked in just as Jeremy mumbled to himself while repackaging the cakes. He frowned and said with exasperation, “Just eat it yourself. It’s a mess. How could anyone give this as a gift?”
Jeremy glanced at hum but ignored him, continuing to wrap the cake. As if to emphasize his point, he snorted and declared his close bond with his sister. “You don’t understand, Yvonne and I are incredibly close. She deserves to have everything I have.”
Stefan frowned at him for a moment,
ent, struggling to understand. Finally, he asked seriously. “So you are going to give her your leftovers?”
“They’re not leftovers, Jeremy retorted, a little annoyed. “I was going to share with Yvonne. And anyway, I used a spoon to cut it. She won’t minst
Sordan was bothered by the messy sight of the partially eaten pastry Who could eat like that? he wondered.
He entered flatly stating. “Eat it yourself. You don’t need to give it to Yvonne, she’s already had some”
Jeremy was surprised. He couldn’t believe his brother would lie to him, especially about sanething so insignificant. After all, they had known each

Before Stefan’s heatbroke expression, Stetan molded slightly. “We didn’t discuss it beforehand,” he said calmnly. “Tuit we both em
“That explains” It wasn’t a difficult fact to accept, especially since Jesemy possessed a strong sense of self–importance. His position within the family had always been dominant
Had it been otherwise, lis initial reaction to receiving the cakes wouldn’t have been the mobial assumption that it was his last jucal.
Feeling a pang of sadness, he sat back down, took out the cupcake he pas kest, and continues rating. Despite initially thinking his family favored hum be not getting Vyonse a cupcake, his kind heart was relieved to lean the tih.
The manager of the State City doll customization company was used to see six large islers come that evening,
It turned out they were all going to the same address. The manager understood the simation and immediately contacted the factory to request expedited overtime work. He also maile a note to thank the benefactor
After giving instructions, the manager called a customer to express gratitude. The phone rang a few times before being answered by a slightly confused–sounding Layne.
The manager’s voice overflowed with enthusiasm. “M. Class, thank you so much! Thank you for favoring us with so much basiness”
Confused, Layne pulled the phone away from his ear, checked the caller ID, and frowned. “Wrong number?“
Upon hearing Layne’s voice, the manager still responded enthusiastically, “No, Mr. Ochios, Diu calling to thank you.”
Layne frowned even more,
The manager was overjoyed, radiating positivity despite Layne’s demeanor. “We received three orders today specifically for the large custom bear you created a few days ago Thank you for giving us this opportunity to showcase our product!”
