Chapter 237 A Grand Gift


    The Shaws.


    Susan was amused when she saw Julian who was typing furiously in front of theputer.


    "Why are you getting so worked up from theizens? Are you too free?”


    Susan blushed a little from how Julian was bragging online.


    Julian arched a brow. "Worked up? I''m helping them develop a healthy and impable beauty


    standard."


    He continued click-cking noisily on the keyboard. 1


    Unable to stop him, Susan watched him for a while before taking a rest with a yawn.


    As a result, Julian spent arge chunk of his time countering theizens and his online reputation


    was thus prized. Some people thought that he was silly as a CEO and could not take criticism.


    On the other hand, some people thought that he was adorable and down to earth. This contributed


    to a hundred thousand rise in his followers. His fans even created a fan club for the JuSan couple


    and started actively posting things about them.


    Julian lurked to read how the fansuded how he and Susan matched before happily shutting off his


    computer.


    Ah, people with taste were still a majority in this world after all.


    Julian and Susan became the most popr couple on the inte overnight while Joseph and


    Charlotte''s efforts went sour.


    After days of Julian and Susan taking over the inte, Charlotte managed to crash several


    computers each day.


    "Charlotte!" Luke furrowed his brows when he saw the cut up pieces of newspapers in the trash.


    "What are you trying to vent?"


    "Luke!” Charlotte was resentful. "Didn''t you see the news? Susan Shelby, she''s taking away my


    limelight intentionally! Now everyone’s cheering JuSan, JuSan - no one cares about me and


    Joseph." 2


    "You need to calm down still!" Luke creased his brows into a frown. "What did Mom tell you? Have


    you forgotten about it so quickly? It’s just a small challenge and it got you this worked up?"


    With Madam Jenkins mentioned, Charlotte bit her tongue. After a while, she was still begrudging.


    "But Susan went over the line..."


    "Alright, these are only temporary," Luke said. "Joseph ising over tomorrow for the


    engagement. It''ll shift the attention away from them then."


    "Mn." Charlotte barely looked appeased. "My wedding must be perfect!"


    "Don’t worry about it." Luke cated her.


    "That b*tch Susan didn''t have a wedding when she got married to Julian. Even though they had a


    wedding photoshoot now, it still isn’t an official ceremony!" Charlotte scoffed and felt herself calm


    down.


    The next day, Joseph came to ask for the marriage.


    Both families agreed to hold the wedding one monthter. To prepare Joseph''s venture in


    Ningcheng City, the wedding was going to be held in Ningcheng as well.


    Joseph was affluent and had readied details of the wedding in advance. Taking a look at the


    checklist, it was a thin line past satisfactory for Charlotte. But she suddenly recalled Susan’s


    wedding photoshoot and asked, "Have you prepared the wedding gown?"


    A gentlemanly smile was constantly seen on Joseph, matching his refined nature. The smile


    broadened a little when he heard Charlotte’s question. "Yes. It’s the work of an Italian master and it''ll


    arrive tomorrow."


    "Is it a one and only customized piece?" Charlotte pursued.


    She heard that all four wedding dresses on Susan were the most renowned international brands


    and that they were designed specifically for her. Each of them was unique and could not be found


    elsewhere.


    "Uh..." Joseph hesitated and replied, "Charlotte, a customized piece has to be ordered a few


    months in advance. Our marriage was decided pretty urgently. I''m afraid we won''t have a tailor-


    made piece."


    "It''s not specially made for me?" Charlotte was upset a t once. "I’llck inparison to Susan


    Shelby''s then? She had four customized wedding dresses and I don''t even have any. I, Charlotte


    Jenkins, can''t be embarrassed like that. Joseph, no tailor-made wedding gown, no wedding."


    "Uh..." Joseph sneaked a look at Luke.


    “Charlotte!" Luke frowned at her. "Don''t be silly. The wedding was arranged in a sh. It''s already


    commendable of Joseph to be able to prepare to this extent."


    "I..." Charlotte gritted her teeth but did not continue her sentence, feeling frustrated.


    She was only getting married once in her life. Why could she not have a wedding dress that was in


    a ss by itself?


    "Joseph, don''t get mad. Charlotte’s a stubborn one," Luke said.


    "It''s fine. I like her direct temper. It''s my fault that I couldn’t provide her the best wedding gown."


    Joseph looked at Charlotte lovingly. "Don''t be mad, Charlotte. This is our family jade bangle that''s


    been passed down through generations. Let me put it on for you?"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Joseph opened an intricate box where a jade bangleid inside. The bangle’s color was lustrously


    clear, like a pool of spring water. Even when Charlotte had seen more than enough exquisite gems,


    her eyes still glowed when she was presented with the ornament.


    "This is..." Her voice went tender.


    "This is the best natural jade. Someone once offered fifty million dors to buy it, but my mother


    didn''t agree to it, saying that she was keeping it for her future daughter-inw. It''s a pity that she


    isn''t here anymore, otherwise she’d be over the moon if she saw you," Joseph replied softly.


    Charlotte’s gaze was still attached to the jade bangle.


    "Let me put it on for you." Joseph smiled and put the bangle on her personally.


    With a slight shake of her arm, the emerald glistened like the most beautiful nature.


    "There''s also this, a diamond and sapphire ne. I auctioned for this personally a while back.


    This ne is made up of hundreds of diamonds and the gem on it is a prime sapphire. It was


    sold for forty million dors," Joseph said.


    Charlotte’s eyes gleamed.


    The Jenkins were rich, but most of the money was tied to thepany operations. To spend forty


    million on a ne was impossible.


    Joseph''s wealth was not just the word of mouth!


    "Let me put it on for you too," said Joseph.


    "Okay." Charlotte nodded shyly.


    When Joseph put the ne on her, Charlotte looked bashful, but she was dying to take a look at


    the mirror.


    Seeing how she was overjoyed, there was a hint of derision in Joseph''s eyes but he covered it well


    and still looked adoring on the outside.


    "For our engagement today, I''ve prepared a grand gift for Charlotte other than the two pieces of


    jewelry,” Joseph said with a smile.


    "A grand gift?" Charlotte''s eyes shined even brighter.


    Joseph chuckled and presented a newspaper, pointing at the corner.


    “This is..." Charlotte could not help frowning when she looked at the reported content.
