Chapter 1696

Chloe smirked inwardly, turning her gaze from Barbara and landing it on Becky. “Compared to yourgift, I believe mine is rather unique.”

Becky snorted with disdain and arrogance. “Just another set of expensive jewelry like the rest ofus? What’s so special about that?”

“Becky…

“A fancy box for average jewelry?”

“Becky”c2

“Are you trying to make the gift look bigger to make it seem more valuable? Ridiculous”

“Becky!!!”

Despite Barbara’s repeated warnings, Becky continued her tirade, causing the calm and graciousBarbara to finally lose her temper.

The room fell silent. Everyone looked at her in surprise, never expecting the always gentle andgenerous Princess Barbara to lose her composure

After realizing her faux pas, Barbara’s face turned pale. Becky opened her mouth as if to saysomething but was at a loss for words.

Chloe smirked sarcastically, placing her box on the gift table.

Fiona curiously approached What’s this special gift?”

Chloe bent down, following Damon’s instructions, positioned the box so Fiona could see the blackholes on both sides, then removed the outer rim

If her guess was correct, Damon’s gift might be.

The hole was about the size of a fist, and everyone’s gaze focused on the box. But after a while,nothing happened.

“What the? I thought it was jewelry? What’s with the half–opened box?”

“Is she expecting the jewelry to fly out on its own?”

“Maybe she’s just planning on giving a box”

The crowd’s confusion and complaints filled the room with chuckles.

Fiona scrutinized the box for a long time, but she couldn’t figure out anything. She stared at Chloesuspiciously

“You didn’t just give me a box, did you?”

Chloe trusted Damon, but she still felt a bit nervous. She remembered Damon’s reckless drivingearlier, the startling drifts and turns. She worried that the gift inside the box might have been…

But she held her tongue allowing a faint smile to play on her lips, and gently tapped the back of thebox.

“Is a magic trick coming up?” Becky was adamant about seeing Chloe embarrassed. Although shehad slipped up earlier, everyone’s focus clearly wasn’t

on her words

“I wonder what this box will transform into? Could it be a homemade birthday cake?” Barbarasmirked, watching Chloe with gleeful anticipation. “Chloe, are you not ready yet? Shall we give youmore time? If it’s a surprise, we’re all exțited.”

Chloe didn’t respond, however, she felt a slight vibration from the box she was holding. Then,slowly, something small emerged from the hole in the box

Fiona’s eyes widened in surprise and she stared at the small object, completely captivated. First thehead, then the front paws, followed by the back paws, and finally a furry tail.

After the last leg came out, it stumbled at the edge of the box, causing the little creature to rollaround on the table. Following this, a soft, kitten–like “meow” filled the room. It was an incrediblyadorable white long–haired kitten, its round eyes irresistibly cute. Especially with its small meow, itmelted everyone’s heart

its snowy fur was occasionally dotted with grey, and the tip of its tail was also grey, as if someonehad purposefully sprinkled it on.

Fiona stared at the kitten, her eyes glued to it. After a while, she tentatively reached out andcarefully cradled the kitten in her hands, bringing it up to her face to examine it closer.

“Meow” The kitten looked at her. Whether out of fear or friendliness, it meowed again at her.

“Ah

Fiona was completely smitten Afraid of scaring the kitten, she tried to contain her excitement. Shekissed the kitten madly, rubbing her cheek. affectionately against it. “So cute Soooo cute. soadorable.

Chloe watched the kitten intently, taking in Fiona’s excited and happy expression, then turned tolook at the man below the stage.

Damon raised an eyebrow, meeting her gaze, but all he saw was Chloe’s resentful face. He pursedhis lips and shifted his gaze. He knew it

No one in the room expected Chloe to give such a gift For Duke Dubonnet’s granddaughter’sbirthday, everyone was trying to give her a satisfactory and sincere gift, measuring what woulddignity and suit the Dubonnet family

House, car, jewelry, antiques, all were given through Fiona’s birthday party to indirectly please DukeDubonnet. Every year the tricks were endless, but they were all variations of the same few things

Who would have thought that the person who could not be pleased with all their efforts would be soexcited about a cat?

Everyone’s attention was fixed on the kitten in Fiona’s hand. Gotta admit, even though they mightnot be familiar with such animals, this cat was remarkably adorable

Fiona was completely immersed in her excitement, and the crowd was amazed

Barbara and Becky’s faces were full of changing expressions, they were completely stunned by thisunexpected gift

After Fiona finished her excitements she lovingly held the cat in her arms, then joyfully planted akiss on Chloe’s cheek. Thank you, this is the absolute best gift I’ve ever received.”

Chloe managed a tight smile, her gaze drifting to a figure in the crowd As expected, his face wasbrooding, an icy chill radiating from him

Without changing her expression, she swiftly returned her focus back to Fiona Tm glad you like it

Fiona nodded, stroking the kitteris soft head before looking up at Barbara and Becky, curiositysparking in her eyes. “Why did you guys you prepared is similar to the princess gift?”
