    ‘Why are they giving me another present? What was that money pouch they gave mest time?’


    thought Ste as Wilfred handed her a box.


    She was about to decline when Trevor intervened, saying, ° It''s a heartfelt gesture from your


    grandparents. You should ept it.”


    Upon hearing that, Ste found it hard to refuse. She took the present and said, "Thank you, Grandpa


    and Grandma.” Following that, Daryl also handed her a gift box. "Ste, this is a gift from me and your


    aunt. We hope you like it.”


    This left Ste stunned. Soon, everyone in the family was giving her gifts. Even Leighton''s younger


    brother, Noah, who was 12 years old, prepared one for her. Before she knew it,


    Ste held a pile of presents from her rtives.


    Trevor helped her carry some of them and said, "Let me keep these for you. We''ll go through the gift


    receipts together after the party.”


    Ste''s heart skipped a beat. "Gift receipts?”


    Trevor chuckled. "Yeah. Did you think everyone''s here just to see you?”


    Wenham held a prominent position in the business world, and with his outgoing personality, he made


    friends everywhere. He would make sure to send gifts and mary contributions for weddings,


    funerals, and other asions back in Hustuabourg, even if he was abroad and could not be present.


    Since the Saun family had not held anyrge-scale events for joyous asions, and considering


    Wenham''s generosity, this banquet was essentially a way for the people to reciprocate.


    Ste looked at the sea of people and realized that the banquet hall would be filled with presents if


    everyone gave a gift.


    “Enjoy it while you can,” said Trevor.


    ‘Am I being too obvious?’ Ste thought.


    “This is probably why Keegan has a hold over you,” Trevor sighed, hinting that Ste was easily


    amazed by fame and money.


    Ste was a little annoyed. "It''s not like that. I also judge people by their appearance,” she said.


    Her response left Trevor at a loss for words.


    After they stored the gifts, Trevor led Ste to the table.


    Wenham was chatting with Danny at the moment. Seeing his children enter the scene, he waved for


    them toe.


    As they approached, Wenham introduced his friend to his daughter, "Ste, this is a friend of mine from


    business, Danny Winston.”


    Danny extended his hand to greet her, and Ste shook it. Wenham then introduced him to Jaylene.


    Jaylene confidently exchanged greetings with him and immediately initiated a conversation in fluent


    Yostrainian.

    Ste stood by, listening quietly without interjecting.


    ‘Danny seems highly enthusiastic about Jaylene''s words, though it could also be the exaggerated


    mannerisms typical of foreigners,’ thought Ste. He had quite an array of reactions when talking to


    Jaylene.


    After a while, Danny shifted his gaze to Ste and spoke to her in Yostrainian. When he finished, Ste


    asked, "Can you say that again in Hustuabourgian?"


    Danny was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to say that.


    “Ste, Mr. Winston is a true Yostrainian. He doesn''t understand Hustuabourgian. I can trante for


    you if you don''t understand," said Jaylene.


    Ste nced at her, then turned to Danny and spoke in


    Yostrainian, "I heard from Trevor that your girlfriend is from Hustuabourg, and youe here every


    year to spend time with her. I just thought you''d at least know how to converse in hernguage.”


    Ste''s pronunciation was clear, indicating that she knew thenguage. Jaylene felt embarrassed and


    curled up her fingers unconsciously.


    Danny chuckled and said in Hustuabourgian, "I do, but I''m not particrly proficient in it.”


    Ste smiled when she heard that. "Practice makes perfect. You should use thenguage since you''re


    already here in Hustuabourg.”
