Chapter 166


    Someone happened to notice the watch strapped around Gideon''s left wrist. When he approached


    Gideon to shake his hand, hemented, "You have great taste in watches, Gideon! That''s a four-


    million-dor Rolex watch right there! It suits you really well!"

    "Wow! You really are generous when ites to the good stuff! This watch is the only model in the


    whole world, you know! I can''t believe you actually got your hands on it!"


    "As expected of Gideon! You really have remarkable taste!"


    When the first guy began kissing up to Gideon, the few others who wanted to coborate with him


    followed suit.


    "Is that so? Thank you," Gideon replied with a smile.


    Then, he flipped his hand around to show his inner wrist. "What do you think about this cufflink,


    then?"


    The people fell silent after ncing at the cufflink.


    Wasn''t it just an ordinary cufflink? It looked dull whenpared to the four-million-dor Rolex


    watch. Heck, it even looked extremely cheap.


    But the guests were charismatic and knew their way around a human''s heart, seeing as they


    wanted to work with Gideon. The fact that Gideon was asking them such a question meant that he


    was doing it on purpose.


    So, they wasted no time inplimenting the cufflink.


    "The cufflink might not be as expensive as the watch, but the one who picked it out for you has


    amazing taste!"


    "Just look at the cufflink''s design! It''s extremely intricate! This cufflink is definitely designed just to


    complement you, Gideon!"


    "Precisely! This cufflink matches your appearance well, Gideon!"


    Gideon was in a good mood despite knowing that the other guests were just saying all those things


    to butter him up. "My sister was the one who gave me the cufflink."


    The guests swapped looks with each other. They had all heard that Gideon chose to stay in Jadonia


    and start a branchpany here for the sake of his younger sister. Hence, they collectively


    breathed mental sighs of relief.


    Thank goodness they didn''t overdo the whole buttering up thing.


    …


    Yana walked into the living room of the Gaskell residence with an armful of shopping bags. Eugene


    trailed behind her quietly.


    It turned out that Yana was Queenie''s cousin. She visited the Gaskell residence regrly so that


    she could suck up to the Gaskells. That was why she knew her way around the manor.


    Queenie smiled at the sight of the things Yana had brought. "Oh, Yana! It''s great to see you here!


    Why must you insist on bringing this many gifts every time you visit?"


    "It''s nothing," Yana replied while cing the items on the coffee table. "I heard that Mr. Gaskell


    Senior''s condition has improved by leaps and bounds. It just so happens that I''ve bought some


    supplements as well as elderberries from Jenville for him to nourish himself.


    "Queenie, your gifts are fish oil pellets imported from Inkvaria and cogen pills from Jenville. They


    are meant to preserve your youthful beauty while keeping your skin smooth and dewy.


    "This Montnc fountain pen is a gift for Zyler. I hope it''ll act as a good luck charm for him to


    emerge as the valedictorian in his SATs next year. As for this…"


    Queenie watched as Yana listed out all the valuable gifts she had prepared for every member of the


    Gaskell family. Obviously, Yana needed the Gaskells to help her out with something. Why else


    would she prepare suchvish gifts otherwise?


    "You really are thoughtful and generous, Yana," Queenie said smilingly.


    Then, she turned to look at Eugene, who was seated on the couch while ying a game. "How are


    Eugene''s grades as ofte?"


    "Eugene, hurry up and greet your aunt." Yana nudged Eugene gently.


    "Hi, Aunt Queenie," Eugene greeted before returning to his game.


    "Oh, Queenie. Frankly speaking, Eugene got himself into a bit of conflict with his ssmate some


    time ago. That ssmate''s older sister seduced the dean and managed to convince him to expel


    my sweet Eugene from the school!" Yanamented.


    Queenie was both surprised and intrigued, to say the least. She asked, "Just who on earth is that


    charming to be able to seduce Dean Ludden?"


    As far as Queenie knew, Andrew had always been an upright and stern man. To think that there


    existed a woman who was able to seduce him…


    "You know that girl too. She''s Hera Youngworth, the Everetts'' actual daughter whom they had


    brought back from the countryside some time ago," Yana replied.


    "What?"


    "Holy sh—what?"


    Zyler happened to walk down the stairs at that moment, so he overheard Yana''s words. He and


    Queenie were equally stunned to hear Yana''s answer.


    "Zyler!" Yana visibly lit up at the sight. She nudged Eugene once again. "Eugene, hurry up and


    greet your cousin."


    "Hi, Zyler." That was when Eugene put his phone away.


    "What happened?" Zyler asked with a sullen expression.


    Not only did Hera seduce Christopher, but she also seduced Andrew?


    Yana began filling Zyler and Queenie in on the exaggerated version of what happened in the


    infirmary that day.


    "That brat''s at it again!" Queenie glowered darkly.


    But Zyler looked pleased. "Is what you said the truth?"
