“Don’t feel pressured. Tomorrow night is just a small party, nothing important!” Phoebe reassured, worried that Audrey might feel burdened.
The next afternoon, Phoebe arrived early with a makeup team to help Audrey get ready. She selected a ck formal dress for Audrey to wear.

“Mrs. Roscente, the otherdies are already here, waiting in the backyard!” the guard said.
“I’ll head over now,” Phoebe said.
Phoebe held Audrey’s hand and walked toward the backyard.
The front yard was bustling with numerous guests, creating a lively atmosphere. Int contrast, the backyard appeared rtively quiet, with faint sounds of the party from the front yard drifting over.

Despite this, the three women did not show even the slightest hint of disdain towards Audrey.
“I was abroadst time and couldn’t attend your party. I apologize, consider this a token of my regret!” Katherine said, removing a translucent bracelet from her wrist.
The jade bracelet was of excellent quality, clearly made from top–grade material.
Audrey quickly tried to refuse, afraid of losing such a valuable item. “It’s too precious, I can’t ept it!”
“Why not take it? We’re all family, no need to be polite. And here’s something from me!” said Sherlyn Smith. As she spoke, she pulled out an exquisite gift box from her bag.
Inside was a limited–edition watch, difficult to obtain even with wealth and status. Only three of these watches existed worldwide.
As the first two presented their gifts, the thirddy handed over a document. She was gifting a piece ofnd in Northville.
Looking at Audrey with a warm smile, she said, “I’m not good at picking those fancy things like they do, and I’m not sure what you like, but if there’s one thing my family has plenty of. It’snd!”
