Chapter 293


    Elizabeth was a bit disappointed. The Lamont family really looked down on them! However, even thoug


    h Cathrine didn’te, she sent someone with a gift, which was not exactly an embarrassment for the


    Macin family in front of the guests.


    Elizabeth smiled kindly. “Thanks for making the trip! Have a seat and have some tea.”


    Mird thanked Elizabeth, and had someone bring the gift over.


    Elizabeth quickly told Corley to take it. Seeing it was a painting, she


    immediately had him unwrap it in front of everyone.


    Once the wrapping was off, everyone gasped, “This is a rare masterpiece!”


    “It’s a real work of art; so valuable!”


    “I heard it was at an auction awhile back, and the Lamont family got it!”


    The previous auction was a private one, and getting in had strict qualifications. Not only did you need to


    have money, but you also need to have high social status.


    Elizabeth’s eyes filled with delight as she touched the painting, her eyes shining, ‘It’s so beautiful!”


    Terrence was excited too, “How can we ept such a precious gift from Cathrine?”


    Natalia gave Corley a meaningful look, full of joy, and whispered, “I didn’t expect the Lamont family to v


    alue Sabina so much!”


    She didn’t believe that the Lamont family sent such a carefully prepared gift just for the Macin family


    ’s sake. It must be because of their Sabina!


    Corley couldn’t help but be proud, blurting out, “Sabina, you should give Mr. Lamont a callter and th


    ank him properly!”


    A rare smile appeared on Sabina’s usually arrogant face, “I will!”


    If it were a gift from someone else, she wouldn’t think much of it. But since it was Mird who came, an


    d he was Jonathan’s man, it was clear who the gift was from!


    She didn’t expect Jonathan to value her so much!


    Elizabeth held Sabina’s hand with a meaningful smile, “You must thank him, and on behalf of your gran


    dmother too. Invite him over when he has


    time!”


    Terrence was all smiles too. He suddenly remembered the joking marriage agreement between the Ma


    cin and Lamont families back when they were prosperous. He hadn’t taken it seriously before, but n


    ow, considering the Lamont family’s attitude, maybe it was worth reconsidering.


    Listening to the Macin family’s conversation, Mird felt something was off.


    His face showed no emotion, but his brow furrowed as he suddenly turned and walked toward the side


    hall.


    The Macin family looked at Mird in surprise, not knowing what he was up to.


    Mird went straight to Estelle, showing deep respect, “Ms. Macin, Mr. Lamont had to go

    to H City today, so he couldn’te in person. I hope you’ll understand. Now that the painting is here,


    we’ll leave now!”


    Estelle instantly understood that Mird was trying to protect her. She got up gracefully, smiling, “Thank


    you, and please pass on my thanks to Mr. Lamont as well!”


    “You’re wee, Ms. Macin. Goodbye!”


    Mird had a naturally cold expression, never showing any unnecessary emotion. Even when giving Eli


    zabeth the gift, he showed no change in his demeanor. However, when facing Estelle, he wasplete


    ly respectful and humble.


    The Macin family was stunned, looking at each other in confusion.


    After saying goodbye to Estelle, Mird didn’t bother saying farewell to the rest of the Macin family, n


    or did he even nce at Sabina, before leaving with his entourage.


    There was a brief silence in the living room. Elizabeth looked at Estelle, puzzled, “Estelle,e here!”
