Hide Your Identities Or Inherit Millions

Chapter 9: Was She Only Worth Only Two Dollars?

Elizabeth handed the famous painting to Sir Wilson, making it much easier to speak, "Dad, this is for you."

"Oh, very nice."

Sir Wilson hastily took it, considering Sophia's earlier choice of gift; he assumed Elizabeth must have bought some ordinary wall painting from a small shop.

However, when he unwrapped it, he couldn't hide his surprise.

It was a painting from Master Andrew Lawrence, worth over ten million dollars at an auction.

"Do you like it?" Elizabeth lifted her face to ask.

"I love it," Sir Wilson responded without hesitation.

A smile curled up at the corners of Elizabeth's mouth.

In his mind, Sir Wilson sighed. Finding such a good imitation must have taken some time. Regardless, this was the first gift from his daughter, so he couldn't reveal the truth.

Elizabeth was holding a small gift box and turned her head to look at Jack.

Jack instinctively straightened up, with his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

"Your gift," Elizabeth handed over the gift box.

Jack didn't take it but looked at Elizabeth with some expectation.

Elizabeth said nothing, her dark pupils stared right back.

The smile in Jack's eyes faded; he felt a bit disappointed for not hearing her call him 'Brother'.

Taking the gift, he found the box quite exquisite. But his smile froze when he opened it.

He had suspected the gift would not be too expensive, but he never expected it to be a children's digital watch.

An electronic watch was one thing, but why did it have to be a children's model?

Seeing the gift, Sophia thought to herself that Elizabeth must have had a hard life before. She must look for an opportunity to give Elizabeth some money.

Jack was stunned for a while.

"Don't you like it?" Elizabeth's bright eyes looked at him.

Jack hesitated, unsure what to say.

Elizabeth's eyes moved, scanning down from Jack's wrist. She lowered her head, "Oh, I bought a size too small."

"It's not small!" Sophia signaled to Jack, "It's just that your brother has been a bit swollen recently. He'll fit into it later."

Jack was speechless.

Seeing even his mother getting anxious, he slowly said, "Thank you for the gift, Elizabeth. I like it very much."

Elizabeth lifted her eyes but quickly looked away indifferently.

Seeing the beautiful eyes of Elizabeth, a smile emerged on Jack's lips; his dissatisfaction reduced a bit.

Although his younger sister had a less-than-admirable character, her quiet demeanor was indeed quite endearing.

When Elizabeth finally turned her gaze to Linda, who personally had no expectations and even less desire for it, Linda still looked at Elizabeth eagerly as if she couldn't wait any longer.

Elizabeth extended her fist and opened it, "This bracelet is for you."

Linda was speechless.

Linda looked at the bracelet made from three colorful strings, something you could buy at any roadside stall, and her expression was beyond weird.

Even though Jack's gift was awkward, at least it was in a box. But here, she just hands it to her?

The only decoration on this bracelet was a bell, the kind that makes noise with every move as if purposely trying to attract attention.

Seeing Sir and Lady Wilson urging her with their eyes, Linda managed a shallow smile, "The bracelet looks really nice."

"If you like it, then that's good," said Elizabeth.

Linda choked and thought to herself, "Who would like this?"

Who would like such a cheap trinket?

Elizabeth looked at Linda without any emotion, "I spent several hours picking this out on the roadside. It's cheap and pretty, just two dollars, and it suits you very well."

Linda felt a surge of anger.

What did that mean?

Was she only worth two dollars?

Elizabeth actually needed several hours to pick a two-dollar item!
