Triumph Above All Chapter 39


    Chapter 39


    Naomi’s expression turned pale as soon as he said that.


    “Please just take it with you, dad.”


    “What’s wrong with you, Naomi? This is from your brother, are you not willing to even take a look at it?


    Are you worried about the gift not being expensive enough and embarrassing yourself as their


    daughter-inw?”


    Nathaniel was a little furious at this point.


    “Dad…” Naomi was rendered speechless.


    “Why don’t you just open and have a look, Naomi. I mean, it won’t take that much time anyway,” Brian


    comforted.


    Naomi felt even worse after that. She wondered why he would not even consider her feelings when he


    told her to open it.


    She understood that her family was already looked down upon by people, so how could she possibly


    face anyone in the future if she revealed the item to be something cheap. Besides, this was the most


    important day of her life.


    It seemed that Mandy had suddenly changed her mind as she said, “Since Brian wanted you to open it,


    why don’t you go on ahead and do just that. Since your father insisted on giving you his gift at this


    moment, it must be something incredibly rare. Look, even I am getting excited to find out what’s in it!”


    Mandy obviously had ill intentions toward Naomi.


    So, Naomi nervously epted the box.


    “What are you dawdling about? Could you be so starving that you aren’t even able to open a box? Or,


    are you waiting for me to do it for you?” Mandy rushed her impatiently.


    The only reason why she changed her mind was so that Naomi could be humiliated in front of


    everyone.


    It seemed that she was more than willing to make things difficult for a girl from a poor family. Besides,


    her family did not have any support anyway, so she had nothing to worry about.

    After listening to what Mandy said, Naomi closed her eyes, took a couple deep breaths and opened the


    box.


    She felt very suffocated when she closed her eyes and did all that.


    She could hear plenty of people mocking her through the silence.


    Soon, the seconds ticked by and suddenly someone eximed, “That’s a Red Dust!”


    “A Red Dust? Was it the red ne from the exhibition three days ago?”


    “I think it is!”


    An uproar broke out from amongst the crowd.


    “Impossible! I heard that a mysterious wealthy buyer bought the Red Dust. How could it possibly be


    here? I mean, Skr is nothing more than a penniless footsoldier, so how could he possibly afford it?


    This must be a counterfeit,” Ash eximed.


    A counterfeit?


    Suddenly, Mr. Shepard said, “Everyone, the ne she’s holding is the real deal.”


    Since the exhibition was hosted by his family, his words would hold a lot of weight.


    “Why is everyone so shocked? Is that a really expensive ne?” Nathaniel’s family wondered.


    The ne around Naomi’s neck was an insanely expensive ne to them. This made them


    wonder if the ne Skr gave could possibly be more expensive than that.


    However, as soon as they asked that question, ady from the table next to them said, “What’s the


    matter? Is a four-hundred million dors ne not good enough for you?”


    “Four… Four-hundred million?” Everyone was so shocked that they werepletely speechless.


    Meanwhile, Naomi slowly opened her eyes when she noticed themotion. Her heart trembled as


    soon as she saw the ne.


    It really is the Red Dust.


    She was staring at the ne for quite some time and wanted to remember every little detail on that


    ne. She could not believe that the ne she had been drooling over for days would be given


    to her as a wedding gift.


    Suddenly, Naomi’s vision started to blur as tears began pouring out of her eyes…
