Yes, Richard Donovan’s words just now not only made Yvonne Donovan feel a bit sad but also made Old Master Donovan extrely angry.
In order not to hurt Yvonne’s feelings, to prevent her from being outshone, and to support her, Old Master Donovan announced:
"So, I want to take Yvonne as my god-granddaughter. Even though she has no blood relation to the Donovan Family, she is still our little princess and my most cherished joy..."
After announcing the new identities of July Quinn and Yvonne Donovan within the Donovan Family, the audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Many opportunists also took this mont to offer their blessings and gifts.
Soon, many gift boxes were placed beside July Quinn, and the number of people congratulating her was especially high.
However, July Quinn remained expressionless, as if these things were neither here nor there for her.
Yvonne’s gift boxes were not few either, and she seed even more talkative than July.
Thus, those who didn’t want to show enthusiasm only to be t with indifference were inclined to give gifts to her.
Especially those who had previously believed she was expelled from the Donovan Family and mocked her viciously, they all gave very expensive gifts, hoping to restore their rapport with her.
As a result, the number of gift boxes beside Yvonne continued to grow, almost surpassing July’s.
Yvonne was very pleased with herself: "July, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect to receive more gifts than you."
It seed that receiving more gifts ant she was more popular and held more status than July.
But July Quinn nonchalantly said, "Once you take these back, what can you do with them?"
Indeed, to July Quinn, these were not necessities.
Taking them back would only occupy space.
So she was already considering opening the gift boxes later to distribute among the servants at ho.
Yvonne said nothing further, but in her heart, she found it sickening, believing that July was only saying this because she received fewer gifts.
Just then, a commotion could be heard from not far away.
"What a huge gift box."
"Who sent it?"
"I don’t know! There’s no na on it!"
"Just carry it in."
Yvonne quickly craned her neck to look, only to see several Donovan family servants carrying a gift box taller than a person entering.
"I think this gift box must be for Miss Quinn since she’s the main character of today’s party."
"No, Yvonne Donovan is also a main character. It could be for her."
"What’s inside, for it to be so big?"
"Could it be a surprise romance orchestrated by so wealthy young gentleman?"
As the gift box passed through the hall, everyone continued to gossip.
In an instant, the gift box was placed in front of July Quinn and Yvonne Donovan.
Yvonne was quite eager to examine it but found that there was no card or indication as to whom it was ant for.
"We don’t know if it’s for you or for , what should we do?"
Though she said this, Yvonne was convinced it was ant for her.
After all, standing here with July Quinn, she received more gifts than July.
Her popularity and past connections were things July couldn’t match.
"It should be for you, Yvonne."
"Yes, I noticed that the gift boxes for July Quinn are relatively small while yours tend to be larger."
"I guess they think you hold more status in the Donovan Family than July, so the gifts for you are more valuable."
Before July Quinn could respond, Yvonne’s old friends eagerly chid in.
Indeed, these friends had viciously mocked Yvonne when she was kicked out of the Donovan Family.
Now that Yvonne was back in the Donovan Family and soone they needed to flatter, they could only join in dissing July Quinn.
After all, with her aloof expression, July seed less approachable than Yvonne.
So, to please Yvonne, they were willing to flatter blindly.
Even though they knew that a large gift box didn’t necessarily an its contents were valuable.
Yvonne clearly enjoyed their sycophancy, yet she struggled to maintain a look of concern, "But just because the gift boxes I’ve received are larger doesn’t necessarily an this big gift box is for ."
At this mont, July Quinn suddenly said, "Why don’t you just open it?"
