Lucy and her family were greeting the guests warmly and they were delighted to receive one expensivegift after another.
“What is this gift of yours?” Carmen frowned at the gift box she received from Alex.
“A watch. The kind that’s worth a little more than a hundred,” replied Alex.
“What the hell were you thinking? Harper is your cousin and this is her big day, And all you have to giveis a watch that’s worth only a little more than a hundred?” Carmen was so furious that she lifted the giftbox and was ready to throw it at Alex.
“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you beforehand. If you break it, you’ll have to get another one yourself,”scoffed Alex.
Knowing that she would not have the time to do that, Carmen had no choice but to lower the gift box.She was still raging, however.
“How are you not ashamed of yourself for gifting a watch that cheap? You’re a good–for–nothing and Ijust don’t understand why my sister still keeps you around.” Lucas shook his head in disgust.
A decent job was recently assigned to Lucas by Heather, which only served to make him evenhaughtier.
“What are you yapping on about? What don’t you get her something yourself if you want to givesomething expensive so badly?” Alex glared at Lucas after realizing how much bolder Lucas wasgetting at speaking out against him.

“What’s in the gift box, Aunt Carmen? It looks exquisite,” commented Jacob playfully.
“Oh, I have no idea myself. Alex is the one who got the gift,” responded Carmen.

“A cheap watch?”
Everybody else was also surprised at the sight of the watch as Harper angrily smashed it onto theground, “What’s the meaning of this, Aunt Carmen? Are you trying to insinuate something by giving methis cheap watch on my big day?”
