My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 164
Chapter 164
Skadi pestered Hera endlessly, and she had no choice but to accept her gift of a pair of extremely expensive bracelets.
Hera’s professors back from her time in college also gave her some birthday money. It was not a lot of money, but it was the thought that counted.
Cain took an envelope out of his wallet. “A little something from me to you, Hera!”
Hera’s hands trembled as she took the envelope, and she sounded choked up when she said, “Thank you, Uncle Cain…”
It was her twenty-second birthday today.
It was also the first time her Uncle Cain had given her a birthday gift.
Harrison muttered, “That envelope doesn’t even look like it’s got anything in it!”
Laura smiled. “This gift was supposed to be for Helena, so I’m sure he wouldn’t have been too stingy. I have a feeling there’s a check inside the envelope!”
Harrison rubbed his hands together. “How much money do you think there will be?”
Laura shook her head. “I have no idea, but there’s no way it’ll be anything less than six figures!”
Harrison took a deep breath.
He had never received such a generous gift, even when it was his birthday.
Then, Herman said, “I had something prepared for you as well, Hera, but this one was initially prepared with Helena in mind. It’s not enough to demonstrate my love for you, so I’ll make it up to you tomorrow!”
Hera smiled. “It’s alright, Grandpa. I’m already overjoyed that you would celebrate my birthday with me!”
She was celebrating her birthday with her friends, family, and boyfriend today. That already brought her a lot of joy.
Birthday presents were just a formality.
Skadi fluttered her eyelashes. “Nash, where’s your gift for Hera?”
Everyone immediately redirected their gaze toward Nash when they heard that question.
All of them wanted to know what sort of birthday present the man who owed a platinum membership card to the Chateau Hotel had prepared for Hera.
“About that…”
An awkward expression appeared on Nash’s face.
Theo had called him that afternoon to let him know the photolithography stepper had been delivered and it was probably being assembled right now.
“Gosh, it’s your first time celebrating Hera’s birthday with her. Did you not prepare any gifts?”
Skadi teased him in a mocking tone.
Their other classmates could not keep their grins off their faces.
After all, he had made a reservation at the Chateau Hotel’s Ultimate Royalty Room and got A-list celebrity Sienna Lowe to host them.
It was not something that could be accomplished by just paying up. There was no doubt Hera would remember this birthday for the rest of her life.
Hera laughed. “The roses outside are Nash’s gift to me!”
Blushing slightly, she turned to Nash and asked, “Isn’t that right?”
Embarrassment washed over Nash when he saw the happy look in Hera’s
eyes.
He had no idea about the roses’ existence. The Chateau Hotel had prepared those.
When Olivia, who had been directing the waiter where to place the food, heard Hera’s question, she smiled and explained. ” It’s a privilege specially reserved for platinum-level members. The ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses here symbolize ever-lasting love!”
“Oh my god, Hera is so lucky!”
“Boohoo, I wish I had a man like him!”
“These roses alone probably cost several billion dollars, right?”
The girls gave Hera envious looks.
Laura and Harrison were overjoyed.
“You’re a visionary, darling. We would never have found such a wonderful son-in-law if you hadn’t insisted on supporting Hera!”
“Haven’t I always told you that? If you were even half as smart as Herman was, you wouldn’t have spent almost your entire life getting bullied by Hubert’s family. I must have been blind when I slept with you!”
“Oh come on, I used to be one of Jonford’s most handsome men… Loads of people were in love with me!”
“I’m not going to waste my time talking to you!”
