Chapter 14 Your Gift Is Too Shabby

Veronica Parker hesitated, "Birthday? Today? I'd better not go! "

Although she was an old classmate, she didn't see her for several years after all. Attending her birthday party now was too sudden for her.

"Oh, why are you acting like a stranger? Go! You just got back, don't you need to be familiar with it? It's a deal. Give me your cell phone number and I'll contact you in the evening. " Myra Carllyle reached out of the car with her cell phone.

Veronica Parker was so kind that she had to take her mobile phone and enter her own number, and then give it to her.

"I'll contact you later. Bye." Myra Carllyle shook her hands and the car drove away.

At night, the fire tree honeysuckle, bright lights,

In the bar, men and women were indulgent.

Veronica Parker walked into the bar in a cowboy skirt.

She remembered the last time she came to a bar when she was lovelorn and drank and slept with Nick Cage. She thought it was dreamy.

"Veronica Parker, this way!"

Veronica Parker heard her name in a noisy voice, looked for her and saw Myra Carllyle, and walked over.

When she arrived at the seat of the elegant seat, there were men and women inside. When they saw the familiar face in the middle, they suddenly froze and felt a dull pain in their hearts.

Toby Cage held his glass in his hand and looked at her in a daze.

"Veronica Parker, why are you in a daze?" Myra Carllyle called her.

"Happy birthday, Myra Carllyle." Veronica Parker regained her mind, calmed herself, and handed out the gift that was in her hand.

If she knew that Toby Cage was here, she would have never come!

Myra Carllyle flashed disdain when she saw the box in Veronica Parker's hand that was not yet the size of her hand.

Other women saw the sarcastic smile.

Someone said, "Veronica Parker, this gift is too shabby, isn't it? How much is this thing?"

Myra Carllyle opened the box and found a pair of silver flower-encrusted earrings inside. She picked them up and shook them in front of everyone. "Look, I bet it's no more than two hundred dollars," she said.

"Maybe she bought it at the ten-dollar supermarket."

Myra Carllyle sighed. "Veronica Parker, you at least surprised me! Still so poor. Do you know how expensive the bar is? A glass of boiled water costs more than two hundred dollars!" With that, she threw the earring on Veronica Parker and dropped it on the ground.

Veronica Parker came with the mood of celebrating other people's birthdays. Frugally, she spent nearly 200 dollars on gifts, but she didn't expect to be so ridiculed, even in front of her ex-boyfriend, which was really infuriating and nauseous.

The key Toby Cage is watching across the shore from beginning to end, and it is definitely rubbish in the garbage!

After being stunned, Veronica Parker reacted and bent down to pick up the pair of earrings on the ground.

There was no sign of patience and grief on her face, only a brisk smile, "It was indeed a little cheap, but my boyfriend said that the gift matters if it came from the heart, not by the price."

"Your boyfriend?" Myra Carllyle asked.

Toby Cage looked straight into Veronica Parker's eyes, but he seemed to be smiling, obviously seeing through Veronica Parker's trick.

Another classmate said, "Your boyfriend must be a good match for you, right?"

With that, all the boys and girls around laughed.

"No, my boyfriend is very rich! I think you know the KING Group in Illinois? Nick Cage, the man in charge of the KING Group, is my boyfriend. " Veronica Parker said with ease and delight.

Inside, however, it was a different scene. She was sorry that she was pretending that he was her boyfriend, but she needed to save herself from embarrassment.

Toby Cage stopped smiling and looked at her slightly heavily.
