Chapter 526 Similar Gifts

Juliet was fuming, itching to curse Ally out loud.

But with others around, she could only mutter under her breath and sit down irritably.

Juliet didn't notice that her obvious change in expression was fully observed by another woman.

"Ann, what are you looking at?"

Jenny waved her hand in front of Ann's face, puzzled.

She followed Ann's gaze and saw only Juliet's back.

A flash of disdain crossed Ann's eyes, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Nothing, just thinking that today might be quite entertaining."

Jenny responded with an "Oh."

"Anna's birthday party is bound to be lively, there has to be some drama."

Ann gently shook her head.

Forget it.

Explaining more to Jenny was pointless.

Some people are just naturally dense.

Unteachable.

Sunflower's company headquarters.

Employees were inventorying items in the warehouse.

"Hmm? Something seems to be missing."

She counted over and over again.

"No way! Where's Eternal?"

The employee panicked and quickly reported to the manager.

The manager rushed over immediately upon hearing the news.

"How could it be missing?"

"Could it have been sold?"

The manager's face turned pale with panic. That Eternal was just an initial sample. If it really got into the market and buyers found out it was a fake, it would cause a huge scandal!

They might even get accused of Sunflower openly selling counterfeit goods to deceive buyers!

The manager couldn't help but imagine those scenarios and hurriedly ordered a search of the sales records.

But aside from the set of jewelry given to Luann, there were only nine transactions.

So where did the remaining set go?

"What should we do? Should we notify Luann?"

At this moment, the manager was at her wit's end.

Such a matter that could jeopardize the company's reputation couldn't be hidden.

"One team, check the orders to see if there's any mistake."

"Another team, pull up all the surveillance footage of Eternal being stored today and check it frame by frame!"

"I'll call Luann right now!"

The manager hurriedly dialed Luann's phone.

However, Luann didn't answer.

Luann's phone was in her bag, set to silent mode, so how could she possibly hear it?

"Why isn't she answering!" The manager was on the verge of tears.

After making over a dozen calls with no result, someone finally suggested.

"The vice president, Rufus Chapman, is on a business trip in the Upper West Side these days. Why not call him to find the boss? It would be faster!"

"Right!" The manager slapped her thigh.

Fortunately, she managed to get through to Rufus.

After explaining the situation, Rufus said he would go find Luann immediately.

The Curtis family's Anna's birthday party had been the talk of the town these days, so Rufus didn't need to search too hard; he could go straight to the venue.

The party was about to start.

Juliet sat in a chair, hurriedly sending a message to Ally.

Upon receiving it, Ally reluctantly got out of bed.

Her right ankle had a blister.

"What crappy shoes!"

Ally irritably kicked the shoes, then sullenly picked them up and put them back on.

Juliet's message urged her again.

Ally sent a voice message back: "Rush, rush, rush, my foot is killing me! How can I get down so quickly? Why don't you come up and get me!"

Juliet rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking Ally was really troublesome.

But she had no choice but to go upstairs and get Ally.

Just as they stepped out, they bumped into Luann.

Luann merely glanced at them and walked past as if they were invisible.

Ally gritted her teeth in anger, "She's too much!"

Juliet kept her patience, "Alright, let's go down first. We'll have the servants bring the gift down; they're already reporting the gift list."

"Okay."

After finding their seats, the two finally sat down.

Juliet felt she could finally relax for a moment.

The gifts were being announced one by one.

Anna sat at the head, smiling kindly.

"The North family's gift, a limited edition Sunshine jewelry set, Eternal!"

Many people craned their necks, some even standing up excitedly to get a glimpse.

"Oh my God! It's Sunshine's Eternal! That's so hard to get!"

"This jewelry set is very expensive!"

Ally stood up proudly, her chin raised like a peacock.

"Wishing you good health."

Anna nodded slightly, her expression calm.

"Thank you."

One had to admit, such a gift was indeed very impressive.

John smiled and continued reading the list.

However, when he saw the next item, he hesitated.

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

Anna took a sip of tea.

"Why aren't you continuing?"

John looked at Anna and blinked his right eye.

Anna seemed to understand.

John sighed in relief.

But Anna said, "Is your eye uncomfortable? Maybe you should use some eye drops?"

John fell silent.

After a while, he had no choice but to speak, "The Weaver family's gift, a limited edition Sunshine jewelry set, Eternal."

Ally and Juliet were stunned.

When the two sets of jewelry were presented simultaneously, everyone noticed something odd.

"Huh? Why does Ms. North's jewelry look strange?"

"Yeah, the color seems off."

"Is this really the same jewelry set? Something seems wrong."

"Ah! Ms. North's jewelry, I think it's fake!"

"What? Fake? No way!"

"Fake, it's definitely fake! I've seen a lot of jewelry, and this gemstone is clearly wrong!"

In an instant, all eyes turned to Ally, filled with disdain.

Who would have thought that the North family, one of the four major families, would have the nerve to present such a counterfeit!
