Female Novel
Chapter 773
"Aunt Susan, wishing you health and happiness," Esther said as she handed her present to Susan,who was clearly delighted.
Turning her gaze to Hugo, Esther raised an eyebrow challengingly. "What did you get Aunt Susan?"
Hugo took out a beautifully packaged box from his pocket, clearly an expensive gift, and placed iton the table.
Esther grabbed it, saying, "I'm curious to see what's inside."
Esther had a somewhat childlike attitude, often speaking and acting in a cute manner. Everyoneindulged her and played along with her antics, including Susan, who seemed to adore her futuredaughter-in-law.
Opening the box, Esther found an emerald ring inside. She examined it under the light and couldn'thelp but scoff. "It looks ordinary. How could you give this to Aunt Susan?"
"It's just a gift," Susan chimed in, understanding that Esther had not put much thought into herwords. "The price doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts."
Esther playfully remarked, "Aunt Susan, I think you deserve the best things in the world. You're sobeautiful that wearing this would lower your status. I'll get you a bigger one when I have the time!"
Her tone was light, and her playfulness was endearing. Susan played along, saying, "Sure, I'mlooking forward to a bigger one."
Esther laughed and said, "Aunt Susan, let me get rid of this ring for you," before throwing it into thetrash. It was an obvious challenge to Hugo.
She felt proud of her actions, seeing them as a way to insult Hugo. However, when she looked athim, she noticed that he remained expressionless. His patience seemed endless.
Esther decided to sit back down, as the situation was no longer fun to her.novelbin
Pearl was worried about Esther's actions. She knew that Susan had a mild temper and lovedEsther. If anyone else had thrown their gift into the trash, it might have caused a scene.
Pearl tugged at Esther's shirt and whispered, "Don't go overboard."
Esther responded, "I'm doing this for you. Look at how arrogant he is. I'm just trying to teach him alesson." She then turned her attention to the leather shoes at Hugo's feet, thinking of a plan.
Pretending to take a sip of water, she raised the glass and deliberately spilled it on the floor.Naturally, the liquid also splashed onto Hugo's shoes. She didn't stop at just a few drops; shedrenched the shoes thoroughly. As if that weren't enough, Esther extended her leg and deliberatelystomped on his shoes.
Suddenly, a man's voice rang out, exclaiming, "Who made my shoes wet and stomped on my feet?"
Esther's smile vanished when she heard the voice. It was Mobius?
