Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 531
Advertisement
It was natural to make a comparison between Diana and Avery because both of them got close to Evan.
Grandma picked up Avery's gift package first. After having a glance over it, she wasn't interested in it and even and even wanted to put it away and turned to Diana's gift, Maureen Fletcher whispered to her, "Grandma, we can have a look. All in all, I believed that I believed that Avery must make efforts to prepare for it."
Grandma would have planned to give Avery a chance to make full preparation, but she had never expected that Diana did such a good job.
However, when Avery heard Maureen's suggestion, she wasn't happy with it because she knew Maureen didn't want to help her. Instead, Maureen just wanted to make a comparison between Diana's gift and Avery's.
No comparison, no difference, so there is no hurt.
Avery had expected that Diana must prepare a perfect gift, but she had never believed that Diana made a lot of effort so that she lost all that weight.
Still, Avery tried to calm down though everyone laughed at her.
Then Avery had a glance over Maureen. She still had short hair, thin lips, and a pair of long eyes. All of a sudden, Maureen found Avery stared at her, so she looked back calmly and joyfully.
Grandma opened Avery's gift package. As expected, it was a delicate Hetian jade bracelet carved white gold on edge.
"It seems that it is the limited edition bracelet made by D.O. I hadn't gotten it even if I had waited for one month."
"It is worth millions."
"But you can't buy it even if you can afford it."
"So what? It is just a bracelet."
Grandma agreed with the man, "It was just a bracelet." She had more than dozens of bracelets, so she just put the bracelet back with disdain.

"Grandma, look at this one," Maureen gave a sign to a maid, and then the maid put the gift before grandma.
Grandma unloosened the ribbon effortlessly. As soon as she opened the box, everyone couldn't help make an exclamation:
"Beautiful!"
"Is this embroidered? How wonderful it is."
Hearing the praise from the crowds, Maureen was extremely pleased.
Some people even tried to move forward and look at the gift, saying, "Is it a handmade gift by Diana? No wonder that her mother said Diana took a lot of pains to prepare this gift. It is a perfect cheongsam. If you ask me to make such a beautiful Cheongsam, I must be blind, not to mention lose weight."
When the rich women heard that Diana made the cheongsam, they were amazed, "Does Diana make it? Marvelous! How talented she is! It is the best gift, I think."
"I envy. How lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law! I want it."
"It's my pleasure," Diana said with a smile. Although everyone was praising her, she was still elegant and humble.
"It is good. Make a gift. Rather than buying a gift."
"That's right. We are all envious of having such a good gift."
Avery said nothing still. She didn't care about what people praised.
At that time, a man said, "When have you learned to make a cheongsam from Abbie Veronica?"
According to the voice, Avery turned to look at the man. It turned out to be Sophie Johnson.
Sophie was the CEO of D.O. and Byran's mother.
Diana was surprised to hear someone mention Sophie Johnson, but Maureen arrogantly answered for Diana, "Who is Abbie Veronica? Diana must do a better job than her when it comes to the embroidery technique. If Diana focuses on this area, she must be the No.1."

Sophie walked forward and looked at it carefully, saying, "The cheongsam is made in the same method with my friend Abbie Veronica. We have known each other for so many years. I am familiar with her method. As you can see, the full-fashioned kitting method is the same as my friend's method."
Diana became a little bit embarrassed; however, Maureen directly pushed Sophie's hand away, growling, "It is normal to find the method they conducted. If you don't have any evidence, you shouldn't defame Diana. What a bad man!"
Grandma was unhappy too, but she said one sentence because Sophie was a powerful woman in the City, "Mrs. Johnson has lived in the B Country for many years. Now that you are very interested in the cheongsam, later, I can ask Diana to show the technique before you."
"All right. I indeed like the technique very much, but I think that today is a suitable time," Sophie answered while she secretly winked at Avery.
Avery had not met Sophie for a long time. I was surprised to see her at grandma's birthday party.
"Is she trying to give me a hand?" Avery thought to herself.
"Doing embroidery is not an easy thing. We need time to do it."
Hearing that, Sophie smiled and pointed at the last step for making a cheongsam, "Abbie Veronica has her way to make the last step. Unlike others who like to put the thread within another thread, Abbie likes to choose the thread whose color is close to the clothes to knit. Moreover, she is accustomed to embroidering her name in the neckline. Please look at it."
Sophie showed the neckline to others. It was true that there was the name of Abbie Veronica.
"It is true…"
"Diana does not make it, but she pretended to make a lot of effort to do it. She is not honest."
"Yeah. Why did Diana lie to us?"
Diana, however, kept smiling, "I have never said I made it."
The crowds were shocked as if they realized something. Diana was right. She didn't mention it, but the groups assumed she made it.
Grandma was very embarrassed and said hurriedly, "All right, I love the gift no matter if Diana made it or not. Forget about it."
Sophie shook the head, saying, "Do you think the bracelet is just a limited edition from D.O?"

A sob breaks from my lips as I try to pull my arm from his grasp."You're hurting me." I say, tugging my arm again."Let her go, Rowan."
