Girl’s Gorgeous Rebirth By Novia Ford -
Chapter 67
Chapter 67
Not far away is Emilia’s old neighborhood. A bunch of people gathered there, shouting excitedly about something. Some people were holding banners with words like “Protest against unscrupulous merchants” and “Never demolish” written on them.
I calculated the time in my mind. In my previous life, Frederic started to reorganize the chemical factory for demolition and land acquisition about half a year after pursuing Emilia.
Indeed, after being reborn, the timing of certain events also changed.
I looked at the gate of the chemical plant in the distance. I pushed open
that gate. Behind it was a factory covering 80,000 square meters. It used to be famous in Aroma City and provided livelihoods for many workers. The local economy was driven by this chemical plant. It transformed the barren land into an urban–rural integrated area.
No one dared to buy this place except Frederic. I averted my gaze. “Let’s go.”
The car continued to move forward, and in the evening, I arrived at Frederic’s parents‘ house.
“Syl? How come you came without telling me?” Evie was wearing reading glasses and was reading a book. She was surprised to see me and seemed quite happy.
“I suddenly thought of coming to see you and Dad. Where is Dad? Hasn’t he come back from work yet? The servant took the gifts I brought. Only a sapphire blue box was held by me.
“Not yet. He has some social engagements, so I reckon he won’t be

back until late. Have you eaten? Hold on, I’ll have someone cook for you,” Evic got up and headed towards the kitchen.
I sat down on the sofa. The decoration around was quite retro. Evie liked this style, which looked simple and elegant, and showcased luxury in a low–key manner.
The servant poured me a cup of tea and respectfully said, “Mrs. Hudson, please have some tea.” I smiled at her and took a sip from the
cup.
After a few minutes, Evie came back. She asked, “Why didn’t Frederic come back with you?”
“He was busy. I have been traveling abroad for the past half month and forgot to contact Frederic while having fun with a few friends,” I replied with a smile.
“It’s not that you forgot, it’s Frederic who forgot you!” Evie said, gritting her teeth when she mentioned Frederic.
I also don’t understand why Evie, such a good person, would give birth to someone like Frederic.
I didn’t answer Evie’s words. I didn’t want to say anything bad about Frederic in front of her because it wasn’t necessary. I just handed her the small blue box. “I bought this overseas. Mom, take a look, do you like it?”
Evie opened the box and her eyes immediately lit up. She picked up the walnut–sized jade pendant. It was intricately carved with top- quality emerald, exquisite and expensive.
She was a senior expert in collecting jade. She could tell the quality of this jade at a glance.
“Syl, is this jade pendant a gift for me?” Evie’s eyes were filled with

joy. She asked me.
“When I saw this jade pendant, I thought you would like it, so I bought it and brought it back for you. Your birthday is coming up in a while. Consider it as an early birthday gift for you,” I earnestly and obediently tried to win Evie’s favor.
“Thank you. Frederic knew that I liked jade, but he has never given me any!” Evie exclaimed, seemingly a bit disappointed with Frederic’s lack of thoughtfulness.
When it was my dad’s birthday, the price of the gift Frederic gave was not lower than this jade pendant.
Frederic was a person who was very good at weighing the pros and cons. Regardless of whether he gave gifts or not, Evie would always be there for him, but my father was different, especially since my father could also help him. He knew that he needed to maintain a good surface relationship even more.
Because of a jade pendant, my relationship with Evie became closer and we had a pleasant conversation. We had never been alone together like this before, let alone chatting.
