Lucy and her family were greeting the guests warmly and they were delighted to receive one expensive gift after another.

“What is this gift of yours?” Carmen frowned at the gift box she received from Alex.

“A watch. The kind that’s worth a little more than a hundred,” replied Alex.

“What the hell were you thinking? Harper is your cousin and this is her big day, And all you have to give is a watch that’s worth only a little more than a hundred?” Carmen was so furious that she lifted the gift box and was ready to throw it at Alex.

“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you beforehand. If you break it, you’ll have to get another one yourself,” scoffed Alex.

Knowing that she would not have the time to do that, Carmen had no choice but to lower the gift box. She was still raging, however.

“Oh, I have no idea myself. Alex is the one who got the gift,” responded Carmen. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“A cheap watch?”

Everybody else was also surprised at the sight of the watch as Harper angrily smashed it onto the ground, “What’s the meaning of this, Aunt Carmen? Are you trying to insinuate something by giving me this cheap watch on my big day?”

Tattling could be heard as people started to gloat at the

“I’m sure my sister did nothing to wrong you or your family so why are you doing this?” exclaimed Jacob furiously while he pointed at Carmen,

“It wasn’t me! Alex that piece of trash bought this watch. I had no idea!” explained Carmen defensively.

Even though Carmen’s family was in power, she knew better than to make enemies of Jacob and his family.

The focus quickly shifted to Alex. Jacob and his family were staring at his furiously at this time. This is war!
