apter 209 The Real Show Begins

“A hundred–year–old ginseng-

The attendant holding the gift box stepped forward and was just about to open it when Taylor cut in, “That’s not one of my gifts.”

She lifted her eyes and said, “I only prepared two gifts. How did you record the gift list? You can’t just stick a guest’s gift under my name what would that guest think?”

Then she turned to the crowd and said, “I don’t know which esteemed guest sent the ginseng, but it was mistakenly listed under my name. Please, come forward so I can apologize to you in person.”

When Taylor finished, the guests all nodded in approval. The daughter of the Kendall family really knew how to handle herself.

Paul, on the other hand, always came up short in terms of tact. Just like now–he hadn’t even shown his face. What a breach of etiquette.

After Taylor spoke, no one stepped forward.

The gift ledger keeper was frantically flipping through the pages, cold sweat beading on his forehead. “It can’t be a mistake… it clearly says ‘granddaughter–in–law…”

There was only one grandson in the Powell family–Paul–so naturally, there was only one granddaughter–in–law.

Who else could it be but Taylor?

Carl sat at the head of the crowd in a high–backed seat, while Huajing stood at his side with her

arms crossed.

Her long curls fell over one shoulder as she looked in a certain direction, smiling sweetly. “Boss, look–what’s Ms. Elsie doing pushing through the crowd like that?”

Elsie didn’t hold any real status, and with no one to introduce her, there was no way she’d make it to the front.

But she’d buttered up Kelvin earlier, so he had taken her up front with him. Now, however, she was sneakily edging her way forward, leaving Kelvin behind.

Of course, with everyone fixated on finding out who had sent the ginseng, no one noticed her inching ahead.

Elsie pushed her way to the very front. Seeing that no one had caught her yet, she tugged at her dress hem and let out a soft cry as she pretended to trip.

That sweet little gasp rang through the room like a sudden thunderclap, grabbing everyone’s

attention.

Chapter 200 The Bed She beguil

Everyone instinctively turned to the woman behind her, who looked completely baffled She hadn’t stepped on the woman’s dress. She had no idea how the girl h. just gone down like that.

Realizing she was about to be made the scapegoat, her face flushed red with anger.

She snapped at Elsie, “Who the heck are you? You slammed right into me! That hurt!”

She clutched her shoulder, making it clear she wasn’t to blame.

Elsie’s eyes went red, and she bowed sis–can I help you clean it up?”

nervously. “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Don’t be mad at me,

The woman was speechless. It’ho is this Juke sweet girl and where did she crawl out from?

But this was a room full of rich and powerful people. She didn’t know which family Elsie belonged to and didn’t dare lash out.

“Taylor…” Elsie shrank back, head down, looking pitiful and scared.

Taylor placed a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ve got pull here. If someone’s bullying you, I’ll back you up.”

But Taylor turned to the scapegoated woman and coldly asked, “Did you step on her dress?”

The woman broke out in a nervous sweat, frantically shaking her head, “No, she–she didt in herself”

The woman was fuming, eyes red with rage as she glared at Elsie.
