Chapter 158 Millie was about to reach for the gift when Vivian quickly took the bag with the gift inside .
Her attitude was a bit dismissive as she said .
Thanks , go ahead and sit down .
nt you going Serena felt a little disappointed .
She had hoped Millie would open the gift to see what was inside , so she asked in her sweet voice , Arent to open the gift for Rens to see ? Millie also tugged at her moms sleeve .
Moin .
I want to see the gift Rens gave inc She had opened all the other kids gifts , but Renas gift was the only one left unopened .
Vivian hesitated but still gave in to her daughters request and took the gift .
Let me help you open it .
Looking at the brand logo on the gift bag , a prominent luxury brand , she couldnt help but curl her lips with a hint of sarcasm .
The items from this brand could cost tens of thousands of dollars , even over a hundred thousand .
She didnt believe that Paisley , a single freelance mem , could afford such an expensive gift She took the gift box out of the bag , which was made of exquisite velvet .
Vivian raised an eyebrow , thinking the fake item looked pretty convincing .
Finally , in front of everyone , she opened the gift box , revealing a princess crown adorned with crystals and diamonds .
Even though she had bought crystal shoes the day before , Paisley had thought it over and decided not to give them as a gift just yet.
After all , it would be very awkward if the size didnt fit her .
So , after discussing it with Serena , they decided to give the crown first , and then the crystal shoes after Millies birthday .
Paisley rushed back to the mall , and luckily , the Harrowfell store had this crown in stock , so she bought it .
When Millie saw the crystal crown , her eyes lit up Just like Serena had said , no princess could refuse crystal shoes , and no princess could refuse a crystal crown .
Wow , its the crystal crown Ive always wanted ! Millie exclaimed , then hugged Serena .
Thank you Rena .
I love it ! Seeing her friend so happy, Serena also grinned , giggling non stop .
The other girls attending the birthday party all looked at the crown with envious eyes .
They all wished it was their birthday so Rena could give them a crystal crown too .
Mom , put it on me ? Millie said , trying to wear the crown .
Vivian stopped her , closing the gift box and roughly stuffing it back into the bag , carelessly setting it aside .
Everyone could hear the muffled sound as the gift box hit the floor .
No one knew what condition the crown might be in now , Mom Millie pouted , upset , and stood to look at the crown .
Vivian pulled her back down and told her to sit .
Sit down and eat your meal .
She wouldnt let her daughter wear a fake crown , lowering their familys status for no reason .
Millie sulked , sitting back down at her seat , pouting .

Ms.
Sutton , thank you again .
Please take a seat , Vivian repeated , a hint of impatience in her tone .
Paisleys gaze dimmed slightly .
She could already feel the tension .
But Serena seemed to enjoy herself , having no issues with Millie or the other kids , and everyone was getting along fine .
They were even planning to play together later , Paisley didnt want the adults conflicts to affect the children or spoil Serenas mood , so she held back and sat with Serena in the very last corner Wow , mom , theres water and fish on the table ! Serena exclaimed happily when she sat down , not at all upset or embarrassed by the seat being at the far end .
Look , mom , there are lite sacks floating o floating on the water .
Serena pointed to the snacks Boating on the water , looking very pretty .
Ms.
Sution , dont be shy , just lei Rena eat whatever she wants .
She doesnt get to eat this often , so let her have plenty today .
Vivian said , acting generous , though the arrogance in her eyes was barely hidden .
Serena didnt notice the adults emotions and took Vivians words at face value , Smiling , she said , Thank you However , Paisley and Serenas seats were so far at the edge that even the nearest snacks were out of reach .
Paisley wanted to help Serena , but there was no way to do so .
At that morneni , a man sitting next to Paisley extended his arm and placed a piece of snack into Serenas plate .
1/2 11:01 AM Chapter 158 Thank you .
Paisley said politely , then realized that this man was Elaras father , Kevin .
Isabella , who had come along , shot a glare at her husband .
Why havent I seen you offer Elara Kevin looked awkward .
She couldnt reach , so I just helped a little , Isabella still didnt look pleased .
She turned and scooped all the snacks from the plate into o her dau stacks ? daughters plate .
Eat .
Its all for you .
She urged Elara to eat while shooting glares at Paisley from the corner of her eye , like she was a thief .
Vivian had made it clear Paisley was single , with no stable job , and a child to raise .
She was most likely some rich mans sugarbaby .
And this woman had the kind of seductive look that made all the men in the room turn their heads as soon as she entered .
Even her usually quiet , obedient husband was helping her daughter with food .
Paisleys attention was entirely on Serena .
She didnt notice anyone else .
The snack was a bit large , so she cut it into smaller pieces to make sure Serena didnt choke .
Serena had been looking forward to it , but after taking a bite , her expression turned complex , as if she was trying not to vornit Whats wrong ? Paisley asked , immediately knowing by the look on her daughters face that it must taste awful , Serena reluctantly swallowed the bite in her mouth .
Mom , you eat it instead
