Chapter 313 Teach Them a Lesson?

• Lara said courtly, “Obviously, you put in a lot of effort into preparing your gift and you’re certainly more considerate than most of us because none of our gifts have ever managed to make him so happy.”
• Her remark could be interpreted as being somewhat provocative. After listening to what she said, the first thing that popped up in the rest of their minds was how bad Old Man Nolan’s taste was. Other than that, they also resented Olivia for stealing their limelights because they had spent a fortune on their gifts for the old man only to see them being overshadowed by hers which might not even be worth a hundred bucks. Obviously, Lara was trying to incite the rest of her family to hate Olivia.
• With a smile, Olivia explained, “Of course Master Merlin would love the gifts from all of you. As I’m not as rich as you guys, I can only make up to it by putting in more effort. I’m sure he just doesn’t have the heart to criticise my shabby gift because he knows how I hate to feel embarrassed.”
