Chapter 67
Amelia looked around at everyone, then opened her bag and pulled out her gift.
The moment people saw it, they were completely stunned.
What the hell was that supposed to be?
Some kind of wooden bracelet?
Oh my God! This was about to be absolutely embarrassing.
Valeria couldn’t wait to pounce. “Ana, if you couldn’t afford a real gift, that’s fine, but bringing this… um… that’s kind of awkward, don’t you think?”
Everyone around started whispering and gossiping.
It was obviously just some wooden bracelet that was worth basically nothing.
f she couldn’t afford real jewelry, fine, but bringing this random thing? What was that about?
esus! This was beyond bizarre.
eople couldn’t help but start snickering–this was going to be the talk of the town.
melia calmly walked forward and presented the gift with both hands. “Grandma, this is what I picked out for you. Wishing you health and happiness.”
‘atricia accepted the gift and examined it carefully.
his bracelet was really unique!
nd she could smell this subtle, pleasant woody fragrance that was somehow refreshing.
atricia’s eyes flashed with surprise, then she broke into a rare genuine smile. “Ana, this bracelet… where on earth did you find this?”
his was clearly no ordinary piece.
nd it was priceless–even if you had money, you couldn’t necessarily get your hands on something like this.
Grandma, you can get wooden bracelets like this anywhere. Probably costs like ten bucks on Amazon,” Valeria jumped in dismissively.
Whitney chimed in with fake kindness, “Well, gifts aren’t about the price tag–it’s the thought that counts. This shows Ana’s thoughtfulness.”
ut her slightly smug expression showed exactly how condescending she was feeling inside.
hey didn’t even need to do anything–Amelia had just humiliated herself.
efore Amelia could explain anything, a distinguished woman nearby spotted the bracelet in Patricia’s hands and exclaimed in shock, “Wait, is that genuine garwood? The holy grail of rare woods? That’s an incredibly precious treasure! How did you acquire that?”
loly shit! She’d finally seen one in person–this was the ultimate luxury item that money couldn’t even buy!
veryone was absolutely floored.
specially since the speaker was Mrs. Connor, a famous antique collector and appraiser in Manhattan who knew her stuff–she definitely wouldn’t be wrong bout this.
Mrs. Connor, is this wood really that special? We’re not experts–we thought it was just regular wood.”
‘aleria quickly added, “Yeah, wood is pretty common. The craftsmanship on this bracelet is decent, but it’s not like it’s some rare artifact or anything.”
Amelia looked at Valeria coolly. “Ignorance really is terrifying. When you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s better to stay quiet instead of broadcasting our stupidity.”
Valeria was speechless, her face cycling through shades of red and white.
she turned to look at Jasper, hoping he’d back her up, but his eyes were fixed on Amelia with a complex expression.

Damn that bitch Amelia!
Valeria was so pissed she was practically stamping her feet.
Had she really been wrong?
It was obviously just wood
No amount of fancy talk could change the fact that it was wood.
Exactly—when you don’t know, shut up. This is genuine agarwood, which aromatherapy experts call liquid gold. It has this incredible natural scent that’s like wearing the most expensive perfume, and the fragrance can last for decades. What Mrs. Sterling has here, judging by the grain and aroma, is museum–quality.”
It’s also a serious status symbol. It promotes relaxation and has therapeutic properties, especially beneficial for seniors–it can help with anxiety and sleep ssues. So this gift is incredibly valuable in ways that money simply can’t measure.”
ars. Connor finished with a knowing smile, “If Mrs. Sterling doesn’t want to keep it, I’d happily pay twenty million for it. Then she could buy whatever gifts she ctually prefers.”
