Chapter 74
Jane’s dad was talking with Jacob. “When the movies be a blockbuster, you are going to be a
billionaire. Don’t forget us then, okay?” “Haha, you’ve invested in the movies, too, so you’re going to rise
along with me,” Jacob said. “Besides, you’re my friend. How can I forget you?”
Veronica came over and hugged her dad. “Where did you go all these days, dad? I really missed
you.”
“I was busy with the post-production. You could have called me if you missed me.” “I tried, but your line
was always busy.” “Stop lying.” “No!” Veronica pinched his arm. “I really tried!” “Ouch,” Jacob started
rubbing his arm. “I totally believe that you tried.”
“Hmph,” Veronica snorted and looked at Jane’s father who had little to no hair on his head.” So, uncle,
how are you going to control your son-inw if he’s that big?”
“Haha,” he chortled. “I’ll let my daughter worry about that.”
“Talking about son-inws…” Veronica noticed Benjamin. He told a female waiter and give their tray to
Benjamin after she told her Benjamin was a butler, and he would dly help. When the female waiter
came and asked him to serve drinks and biscuits to others, Benjamin didn’t refuse. Instead of standing
and talking to no one, doing something like this was better, he thought. Moreover, he was excited about
taking drinks to Reba and wondered how she would react.
Meanwhile, the kids kept asking Donovan to open the gifts. He told them it wouldn’t be polite to open the
gift packages in front of everyone, but they kept demanding him. These were the kids of the parents that
lived in the vi, and they were all fans of Donovan the wrestler, so he found it really hard to deal with the
situation.
“Let’s just open the gift packages,” Elizabeth entered the scene. “It’s not a wedding but a birthday, so I
don’t see the need to be so sensitive.”
Donovan looked at Jane who shrugged her shoulders. “Fine. Let’s do it then.”
All the children jumped in joy.
“How about each of you open it one by one?” Donovan suggested to the children, making them jump
even higher than before. They all ran over to the pile of gift packages lying at a corner. Donovan rushed
along and told them they should open it one by one.
Reba came to Jane with the help of a walking stick and hastily said, “Why did you agree? I don’t think
this is a good idea. Gifts aren’t supposed to be opened like this in public.”
“Why not? I think it’s exciting,” she put her arm around Reba. “Let me see what gift you sent, okay?”
Reba slightly shook her head. Just then, Benjamin brought the drinks, pleasantly surprising, her. He
was wearing a waiter’s dress, to boot. “Benjamin?” Jane was shocked. “Why are you serving the drinks?”
“It’s fine,” Benjamin told her in a low voice, “so don’t shout, okay?” “O-Oh,” she nodded and then
chuckled a little. “You look funny in this get-up.” “I’ll take that as apliment,” replied Benjamin and
went to serve other guests.
“His beard keeps on growing,” Jane looked at Reba. “When are you going to tell him to shave? He
looked much better on the first day I met him.”
“He’s not a kid,” replied Reba, giving the soft drink to Jane as she stopped consuming soft drinks
years ago. However, Benjamin who was watching that from a distance perceived it differently.
The first gift was Reba’s. There were two pairs of beautiful couple’s sneakers inside. Though
Reba didn’t leave her name inside, Jane remembered her gift box and immediately nted a kiss on
her cheek. “They look so cute. We’ll put them to good use, so don’t worry.”
The next gifts opened had a cookware set, a waxed jacket, wagyu steaks, a vintage luggage bag, food
giftcards and more. Jacob’s box had rare old wine priced around 10,000 dors. Everyone pped, and
Jacob smiled in response, but on the inside, he was crying. (I don’t even know this guy, but, whatever, I’ll
have to somehow make Reba and Veronica drink all of it so that it won’t be wasted!)
When Dorothy’s chicken curry came up, every adultughed, but the children tasted the curry
and liked it.
Donovan appreciated the hand gripped given by Nn.
Elizabeth’s gift package had two gorgeous diamond rings that made Jane cover her mouth in shock
While diamond rings were not that big of a deal for Donovan who was a millionaire himself, Jane got
emotional and hugged Elizabeth and then Donovan and was in tears.
Reba felt happy for Jane, but then she could see Elizabeth looking down on the sandals she had
gifted. (Did this shameless womane to this party just to make me look bad?) Nevertheless, she
could suck it up, not wanting to cause a scene here and spoil Jane’s mood. Jacob also seemed to be
silently fuming in rage as Elizabeth had spent almost double the amount as he did, but the thing was,
she didn’t earn even a single dor of what she or her parents had spent for these gifts. That was what
pissed Jacob the most. At that moment, Elizabeth looked toward the crowd. “Where is he… ah, there he
is.” She raised her hand and called for a bearded waiter. “Hey, Benjamin. Where is your gift?”
Benjamin acted like he didn’t hear her and hurriedly entered another room to serve the guests there.
“Benjamin!” Elizabeth followed him, leaving Reba to wonder what exactly was going on.

Benjamin blended in the crowd and entered another linked room. He put the tray aside and
dialed Alfred.
“Haaaah. Yes, Master,” Alfred was yawning. “Please tell me the gift is on the way.” “What gift?”
Benjamin’s heart swelled a centimeter. “Don’t joke with me. Didn’t you send gold coinsst time I went to
a wedding? Just send something now, too. I’m at a birthday party, and I forgot to bring a gift, you see.”
“Sorry, Master, but I’m currently busy. If you’ve got nothing else, I’ll hang up.” “Wait, what do you mean by
busy? Just send someone to “before he could finish the sentence, Alfred hung up. Benjamin clenched
his hand hard, and the mobile broke. His jaw dropped. A hand rested on his shoulder from behind. “Here
you are.”
