chapter 1895


    "Thank you. Please,e on in!’


    McKenzie was in no hurry to be seated as her beautiful eyes looked at Charmine. "Ms. Jordan,


    congrattions for winning thepetition. Now that Poulenc is well-known all over the world, you’re


    incredibly established."


    Charmine looked up to meet her eyes. "Thanks," came her aloof, simple response.


    "You''re very wee. I prepared you a very special gift.” McKenzie then made a gesture.


    Miranda unwrapped the high-end leather-made wrapper, revealing...


    A harp!


    The wood of the instrument seemed high-end and had been exquisitely carved. There was a beautiful


    flower carved on it, giving the harp a beautiful and exquisite look to it.


    The strings, on the other hand, looked strong and vibrant.


    The harp looked very expensive with just a look!


    Everyone present was baffled.


    This harp was thest batch of harps made in thest century. It was already so valuable in the present


    date, and it was hard toe by.


    Was McKenzie that close to Charmine?


    Charmine looked at the expensive harp in front of her and had a vague smile on her lips.


    She knew what McKenzie was up to.


    "Thank you, Ms. McKenzie," uttered Charmine coldly.


    Susan, at that very moment, thought of something and said, "Charmine, since McKenzie had been so


    kind, why don''t you y us something?"


    Annabel looked at Charmine warily; she had never seen Charmine ying the harp. Could she y it?


    Charmine looked at Susan coldly.


    She knew what Susan was thinking of.


    When the crowd saw theplicated look on Charmine’s face, they knew she could not y such an


    insightful instrument.


    Thus, began the attendees'' crows of mockery.


    "That''s right! Ms. McKenzie is so kind, so why don’t you y us a song?" "I’ve never seen this.


    Enlighten us!" "There are so many of us here present, Ms. Charmine. y us something."


    They spoke with admiration and anticipation, but the truth was that they looked forward to seeing how


    Charmine would react.


    Charmine was so high-above and seeded in anything. She had taken business opportunities from


    them, too! 2


    She had shown them no respect at all!


    This was why they wanted her to embarrass herself.


    Charmine could not even say the name of this instrument, and she probably did not know how to y


    it!


    Charmine squinted at the harp.


    Ha! A gift? More like a challenge.


    Noticing Charmine not making a move, Susan could not help saying, "Can it be, Charmine, that you


    can''t y the harp?"


    With that said, those who did not like Charmine chimed in.

    "Gosh! That''s impossible!" "Charmine grew up with the Jordans. She’s considered a wealthy heiress."


    "You’re all mistaken. The Jordans are rich now, but they were hardly in the top twentyst time. They’re


    rich, but not wealthy." "Indeed; she’s not a wealthy heiress at all. No wonder she doesn''t know this


    insightful instrument." "Sigh! She''s not well-cultured at all. How did she get into the Bailey family?"


    A group of them mocked Charmine as though she was way out of her league, getting into the Bailey


    family. 1


    Charmine had no intention of speaking, but hearing such words, her red lips curled up suddenly.


    "What century are we in? Do women need to be well-cultured? Who made thew that all women must


    be well-cultured? Can modern men write poems and go to wars now? What double standards these


    are!" spoke Charmine, articting every word she had said and meaning every single one of them.
