Chapter 302 Quite Embarrassed
Finished
Felix was indeed quite pleased, and he immediately nodded in approval. “Hayden, you’ve put thought into
this.
Hayden was feeling even more smug.
Suddenly, Hayden’s gaze shifted, landing directly on Josial. Without any hesitation, he asked, “Josiah, what is the gift you brought?”
I know it! Madelyn immediately realized that Hayden was waiting for an opportunity to belittle Josiah.
Josiah had prepared an antique painting. Although it was indeed valuable, it wasn’t quite as rare and fell a bit short when compared to a chess strategy book from the Tercet Era.
Hayden was aware of that. Hence, he deliberately asked that question to put Josiah in an awkward position.
Madelyn cursed in her mind. This is outrageous!
However, there was nothing she could do. At that moment, everyone around was looking at Josiah with anticipation.
Josiah was speechless, and so he quietly revealed the antique painting. He said, “Grandpa, what I’m gifting you is an antique painting by Leonardo da Vinci. I hope you like it.”
The crowd applauded a little when they saw that. Their reaction was noticeably less enthusiastic compared to when Hayden presented his gift.
To their surprise, when Felix received that antique painting, he was overjoyed. “Of course Llike it! How could I not? Josiah, you’ve really put thought into this!
After all, in the past, Josiah wouldn’t even attend the birthday banquet, much less present a gift.
Hayden glanced at the painting with disdain and spoke sarcastically. “Josiah, it seems you’ve grown up a lot this year. After all, you never gave presents before.”
He was basically telling everyone how immature Josiah was in the past.
Moreover, Josiah’s gift was noticeably less impressive than Hayden’s.
The rest of Benedict’s family grimaced slightly. Is he trying to stir up trouble?
Josiah was also somewhat embarrassed.
However, it was at that moment that Madelyn suddenly clapped her hands.
Immediately, two hostesses entered from outside, each carrying a tray shrouded in red cloth, exuding an air of mystery.
“Old Mr. Blume, this is a gift from me. I hope you’ll like it.” While Madelyn spoke humbly, she unveiled the red cloth that was covering the gift tray.
On the tray sat an extraordinarily rare shrine that was intricately carved from rosewood. The patterns on it were both delicate and unique.
