Someone then asked, "Does anyone know what Ste brought as a gift tonight?"
"I didn''t see her go to the reception.She probably got in when nobody was looking."
"Damn, she has no shame.Coming here empty-handed and going home with money." Molly''s eyes
darkened.
When everyone was singing the birthday song, Ste secretly nced at her phone and saw the few
missed calls.She quickly called Felicity back.
However, Felicity''s line was busy.
Ste texted Felicity, [where are you now???]
Just as her text was sent, there was a suddenmotion at the venue.
Before long, the news got out.
The ount book at the reception was soaked in alcohol.
When Baldwin informed Cordelia, she furrowed her brows.
The ount book at the reception was quite important since they had to reciprocate the gift based on
the who- gave-what recorded in the book.
It would be inappropriate to return gifts that were too cheap or expensivepared to the original gift.
The most courteous way would be to reciprocate the gifts ording to the ount book.
But now, the book was drenched in alcohol.
Not only were the writings smudged, but some pages were also irretrievable.
It was impossible to make out what was recorded.
Dahlia and Cyrene were more anxious than the others.
They spent quite a lot of money on this celebration and invited many guests respectively.
They were responsible for the gifts given by their own guests.
Now that the ount book was ruined, they could not keep the records in check.
"How could they let this happen? There are so many people watching.How could wine be spilled on the
book?"
Dahlia could not help butin.
Cyrene was also upset, but the ountant was an old retired director of thepany who Cordelia
regarded highly, so she suppressed her urge to talk badly about the situation.
She proposed an idea instead.
"Mom, since everyone is still here, let''s re-register all the gifts.If there are any bnce errors in the
records, I''ll ask someone to trace it back."
Cordelia frowned.
It was indeed unseemly to conduct a re- registration, but there were far too many guests.
Without the ount book, they would be unable to register all the guests clearly, and it would be a big
matter if it led to inappropriateness when reciprocating the gifts.
Cordelia contemted for a while and told Baldwin, ''''Go make the arrangements, Baldwin."
Baldwin nodded.
By using a mic, he informed everyone about the situation.
Returning favors and maintaining interpersonal rtionships were very important aspects of the
corporate world of Rivera.
When everyone heard about it, they were very understanding and cooperative during the re-
registration.

Baldwin arranged extra help from four people.
That way, the re- registration could be done faster.
When there were only a few people left, Molly nced at Ste."Miss Jewell, don''t you need to register
as well?"
When Molly said that, everyone''s eyes were on Ste.
The good thing about re-registering was, those who did not bring a gift could be spotted easily.
Someone quietly said, "She really dide empty-handed."
"In the jewelry exhibition previously, Mrs.Kane was so nice to her.How could she not bring a gift?"
"She''s just an illegitimate child.What manners do you expect her to have? Of course she would take as
much advantage as she can." Ste paused.
''So, she was waiting to embarrass me? ‘No wonder the ount book was ruined.
‘Molly really went to great lengths to make a fool out of me."
Just as Ste wanted to speak, the ountant suddenly said, "Miss Jewell did register.Three gifts
even.I remember them clearly.There was an opal brooch, crystal cross ne, and a pair of crystal
cups."
Keegan froze then shot a confused look at Aldor.
Aldor had no idea as well, as he only registered one gift for Ste.
At that moment, the lights of the venue dimmed, and spotlights were aimed at the corridor by theke.
Before anyone could be seen there, an ethereal voice of a soprano broke the silence.
