Once again, Frank let out a long breath. “It’s up to you whether to take it or not. What's certain is that | have expressed my true feelings.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Frank put the box on the table and went out. He would rather play with the twins than serve his mother’s selfishness. Meanwhile, Melanie looked at the box intently. “He really prepared it for me?”

After furrowing her brows for a moment, she opened it. When she found an orange diamond which was also rare, she gasped. Her eyes sparkled as brightly as the light reflected on the jewelry.

“Wow...!” Her mouth could no longer close tightly, filled with admiration and pride.

Wasting no time, Melanie took the necklace and put it on in front of the mirror. Her smile was never wider than it was reflected there.

“This suits me perfectly!”

She touched the necklace then spun around. The more sparkles appeared, the more often laughter escaped her lips. “I'm very lucky to have a son as rich as Frank. Otherwise, how could | have gotten a diamond this beautiful?”

After a moment of admiring her own reflection, Melanie’s lips turned flat. Her eyes dimmed again.

“If only he wasn’t close to those people, | could have gotten more than this. That green diamond would have fallen into my hands

too. Arrogantly, Melanie reached for the empty box on the table. While running her fingers there, she smiled slyly.

“But this is Frank’s first gift to me. After this, there will definitely be many more. The second, the third, and the hundredth gifts. The price can’t be just a few digits.”

While imagining what she could have, Melanie went to Barbara’s room. What she had just received was too precious not to show off.

“My Dear....” Melanie barged in and made a slow turn. Barbara was amazed to see her mother’s billowing dress. “What is it, Mom? Have you finished talking to your son?” she asked before looking back at the phone in her hand.

Melanie smiled wider. She sat next to Barbara, her hand on her chest, just under her new necklace. “Yes, and my effort has paid off again.”

Barbara raised an eyebrow and glanced. As soon as she saw the orange gem of her mother’s necklace, she gasped. Her phone was. immediately put to the side.

“Oh, wow! You got one too? Is it worth millions of dollars?”

Melanie quirked an eyebrow and gave a small nod. “Of course. Your brother doesn’t like cheap things. Moreover, this is his first gift for

1. He must have prepared the most expensive one.” “This is more expensive than that green diamond?” Barbara opened her eyes wider. Melanie’s face stiffened. However, after one quick sigh, she faked a laugh. “Of course. Orange diamonds are harder to find.” Giggling in amazement, Barbara examined the turtle-shaped necklace. “Mommy, can | borrow this necklace? | haven’t shown anything new on my social media for a long time.” Melanie raised an eyebrow. “How long has it been since you showed something off?” Her tone was serious. 25 BONUS Barbara blinked. “Since Daddy doesn’t give me money anymore?”

Melanie sighed in disbelief. “It’s been a long time, Darling. Here... borrow it. Don’t let your friends laugh at you because you haven't shown anything new. You shouldn't be become a topic of such a gossip.”

Melanie took off the necklace and put it in Barbara’s hand. The pink- haired girl immediately smiled brightly. “Thank you, Mom. They did nag me why | haven’t been heard lately. They think that our lives are now miserable.”

Melanie snorted quickly. “They’re so insolent! Don’t they know who your brother is? Even if all their wealth were piled up, it wouldn't be able to compete with your brother’s wealth!”

Barbara’s lips pursed. In her heart, she doubted she could boast about that. Suddenly, Melanie patted Barbara on the arm. “Come on, Dear.

Quickly put a photo of this diamond on your social media! If necessary, do a live broadcast. Prove that you are indeed holding a rare diamond. Make your friends swallow hard.”

Barbara raised the corner of her lips. “Okay.”

She hooked the necklace behind her neck. Then, using the front camera of the phone, she checked. “How do | look, Mom?” “Perfect.” Melanie patted Barbara’s cheek. “No one can beat your

beauty, Darling.”

Barbara’s smile turned genuine. After Melanie left her room, she started a live broadcast. In just a few seconds, several people were already watching.

“Hello, Girls! Sorry | haven’t greeted you in a long time. I’ve been busy

lately.” Barbara smiled at the camera. Her hand was placed in front of her chest, covering her necklace.

Several people immediately posted the same comment. “What are you busy with?”

Barbara smiled faintly. “I now live at my brother’s house. He entrusted his house to me. So, | have a lot of things to take care of.” “Are you now a household assistant?” A viewer joked accompanied by a laughing emoticon.

“Look at the room! It looks like a maid’s room!” Another replied with laughing emoticons.

Barbara almost turned sullen. “You don’t know how important this

Without hesitation, Barbara accepted. A blonde girl now appeared on the screen. “Hi, Girl! Thank you for accepting my live request. I’m sure other friends are also curious and want to ask you directly.”

Barbara shrugged her shoulders lightly. “Just ask what you want to know. | can answer it as long as it’s not classified information.”

“Is it true that your house is that big now? How did you measure it?”

Barbara smiled faintly. “If you don’t believe it, just search for Frank Harper’s residence on the internet. You can confirm the information

about the mansion he lives in.”

The blonde stared wide eyed. “Your brother is Frank Harper? The CEO of that famous super-large company? But isn’t your last name Harris?”

“He’s the son of my mother’s first husband. After his father died, my mother married my father and | was born. So, yes, Frank Harper is my brother. We have the same mother.”

“Is it true?” Hailey’s smile turned wry, especially when many viewers sent positive comments and pressed the love sign. “You're so lucky.”

“Yes, | am lucky to have a brother who is very kind and loves me. And you know that?”

Barbara grabbed the ID card on the side table. There was only a photo. of herself, her name, and also the words Savior Group on it.

“Apart from inviting me to live at his house, he also offered me a job. | didn’t feel like refusing. So, | just accepted it.” Hailey’s eyes narrowed. “What job is that?”

“Savior just started a fashion brand recently. So, my brother needs someone to take care of it.”

“You now work as creative director? But why isn’t your position listed on your ID card?”

Barbara froze for a moment. She didn’t know what a creative director

was.
