Chapter 844: Taunting gift
[Prime Group]
After completing all of her tasks, Penny decided to check the gifts she had received from the Pierson family. She hadn’t planned on opening them yesterday and didn’t see any reason to spend time on gifts that didn’t come from sincerity.
Standing in the living area of the small penthouse atop Prime Group, Penny sighed. Her eyes glossed over the stacked presents, which varied in size, shape, and design. There was even a flower area on the other side. The notes Yugi had placed on her desk yesterday were from the gifts, and he had decided to separate them based on her personality.
"In my past life, the only gifts I got were from Uncle Haines and Butler Jen on my birthdays," she whispered, staring at the mountain of presents before her. "I’ve really... come far, haven’t I?"
With everything happening in her life, Penny sometimes forgot how different her current life was from her first. But whenever she remembered, the reminders were often small things like this.
"Let’s see," she murmured, reaching out for the nearest gift within her reach.
The present was a small box with a cute ribbon on top. She hadn’t noticed the small card attached, but she could already guess who had sent her this gift based on its adorable wrapping.
"Harper," she muttered, checking the small card beside the ribbon. "She said she’s giving me a family heirloom."
Penny casually unwrapped the present to find a jade bracelet with traditional carvings and designs that modern pieces didn’t have. It looked simple, but it carried an elegant aura.
"She might look naive, but I guess she does have an eye for beautiful things. I like it, surprisingly," she whispered, smiling subtly before closing the gift.
