Chapter 512 - ENGAGEMENT PARTY: PART V (1/2)
Dinner proceeded without any problem, the arrival of the Knightly couple and the revelation of the girl has brought everyone to their feet. To think they have said such nonsense without knowing they were putting themselves in the man's dead list. What's worse is that they never expect the beautiful goddess to have such terrifying side.
”My, Jackie you've prepared everything so diligently, did Lizzy not come to help you?” Lady Zhao praised as she found every detail very pleasing in her eyes.
”Hmm, my mother and mother-in-law came to help with the preparation. Plus, Steven is very hands on when it comes to helping me.”
”Good to hear that.”
The man's short words yet good words were like heaven to their ears, for a single displeasing comment would mean the end to all of them. They are sure he has not forgotten about them, ridiculing his own daughter in front of them. He dotes and pampers his daughter like a princess yet they dare insult and bully her right in front of his very own eyes.
”So, when do you plan to host the wedding?”
”Hmm, as long as everything goes according to plan and nothing goes wrong with the preparation, in less than a month I should be getting married.”
Lady Zhao noticed her daughter's teary eyes, which caught her attention, ”Darling, what's wrong?”
”Nothing, I just realize I'll soon be an Auntie.”
”Ah- does that mean I'm gonna be an Uncle?” Jackson's shocked expression was to die for, as everyone started laughing at him as his parents scolded him.
”Ha-ha, I hope to visit both of you again and with a little Jackie or Steven on your hand.” Lady Zhao commented which caught a smile on Miller's face.
”Hmm, we can arrange for that.” Lord Knightley added as he will visit with his wife.
”Don't worry Jackie, I made sure to save up a good present for your child.” Elizabeth commented as she teased the girl right next to her.
”Ah- we almost forgot.”
All of the sudden, Winston Lord's Knightley trusted subordinates entered the more bring a few boxes as he handed each one to Jackie, Mrs Goldsmith and Mrs. Miller. Afterwards, he returned again with a gift for the men of the two families.
”It's a simple gift from us.”
Inside was a costume made watch which has the same design as everyone. The only difference was the message at the back of the watches. As they noticed the maker of the watch was engraved on the back as well, they were all shocked as they stared directly at the man as each of the watches would have cost millions.
However, the gift did not end there as Winston handed Jackie another gift.
”I'm sure this will look beautiful during your wedding. Lizzy here had that personally designed for you, it took longer than we thought since some of the gems were hard to find at the right size.”
When Jackie opened it, it was a custom made wedding tiara. It was covered in diamond and had a large red diamond in the middle as red is Jackie's favorite color.
”Liz, thank you.” Jackie tears of joy rolled as embraced the girl next to her.
”Jackie, stop crying, you're no longer a child.”
”But you're making me cry.”
Elizabeth sighs delight that to see the girl was happy, ”Steven good luck with her.”
”Ha-ha, don't worry, I will.” Steven chuckled as he found the girl's comment silly.
As they thought the gift had ended, Winston came back with a file in his hand as he handed it to Steven.
