Chapter 118
After the sisters left, the others in the parking lot, watching their retreating figures, started whispering to each other.
Some thought Zelda was too serious just now, daring to confront Frank from the Granger family. She seemed like a country bumpkin, lacking awareness. If she offended Frank, wouldn’t their Roscente family suffer consequences?
Others thought Zelda’s behavior was commendable. She shouldn’t be easily mocked or taken advantage of. By demanding an apology from Frank so assertively, she would make Frank think twice before making fun of her again.
Then, everyone began to understand the meaning behind Frank’s words.
Zelda now lived in Winston and was Charles’s free maid!
The small disturbance in the parking lot was quickly known by Yemmy.
After the Roscente sisters entered the house, Yemmy had already come downstairs. On this evening filled with beauties, Yemmy stood out among the crowd.
“Yemmy.”
Elle brought Zelda over and lavishly praised Yemmy before presenting her own gift.
“Elle, you’re late. You’ll have to drink three cups later.”
Yemmy smiled as she accepted Elle’s gift. When she saw the necklace Elle was wearing, her gaze lingered on it for a moment before casually handing the gift to a nearby maid.
Zelda noticed Yemmy’s expression. She knew there wouldn’t be any drama to watch. After all, the two were good friends, and with Frank’s affection for Elle, Yemmy wouldn’t quarrel with Elle over a necklace.
As long as the necklace wasn’t worn around her neck, it was fine.
However, with Yemmy’s personality, she couldn’t help but feel a little displeased and uncomfortable.
“Yemmy, this is my birthday gift for you.”
Zelda handed her own gift to Yemmy.
Yemmy raised her chin and took a while before reaching out to accept the gift. Normally, she would have the maid take any gifts people gave her upstairs and put them away. But with Zelda’s gift, she opened the packaging in front of the entire room.
Zelda’s gift was a set of cosmetics worth over ten thousand dollars. Such a price might be considered expensive in Zelda’s previous social circles, but in high society, it was rather unremarkable.
Yemmy took out the cosmetics deliberately, making sure everyone could see, then turned and handed them to the maid beside her, saying, “Aunt Emily, this is for you.”
Aunt Emily quickly took it and, after looking at it, said, “Miss, I don’t need such low-grade cosmetics.”
Yemmy pushed the cosmetics back to her. “Take it back and give it to your relatives in the countryside.”
“Then I’ll thank Miss on behalf of my relatives in the countryside.”
It was clear that this mistress and servant were deliberately humiliating and mocking Zelda.
Others whispered among themselves, mocking Zelda for being so stingy. They couldn’t believe she would give such a cheap gift to Yemmy and still have the nerve to give it away.
“Zelda, do you mind if I pass on the birthday gift you gave me to someone else?”
If it were anyone else, being treated like this by Yemmy would have made them turn pale with anger and wish for a hole to crawl into. But Zelda had thick skin. She casually replied, “Once something is given to Yemmy, it belongs to Yemmy. Even if she throws it in the trash, it’s still hers. I have nothing to be concerned about.”
Yemmy’s gaze turned cold.

“Charles is here!”
“Charles actually came!”
As Yemmy was about to confront Zelda, she heard people outside calling for Charles. She was momentarily stunned, then ecstatic, leaving everyone behind as she rushed outside to greet him.
Monday pushed Charles along with Nina, slowly making their way. Behind them were seven bodyguards, one of whom carried a rectangular box wrapped in colorful ribbons and tied with a bow, obviously Charles’s birthday gift for Yemmy.
Charles always had eight bodyguards with him. Monday pushed him, while the others followed behind.
He had two fewer bodyguards than Vinson.
“Charles.”
Yemmy sweetly smiled and walked up to Charles, her voice dripping with sweetness. “Charles, you’re here.”
“Happy birthday, Yemmy.”
Nina offered her congratulations first, then handed over her gift to Yemmy.
“Nina, thank you.”
Yemmy happily accepted Nina’s gift, treating Nina much better than Zelda. Even Elle, her close friend, didn’t receive such favorable treatment.
Charles glanced behind Yemmy and didn’t see that shameless person from his family, but he did see Elle.
Charles dared to say that his family’s shameless person took advantage of everyone being out to greet him and went to get food.
Afterwards, he turned his head.
Monday, holding the rectangular box, immediately stepped forward.
He handed the box to Charles.
Charles then handed the box to Yemmy, coldly saying, “Happy birthday, Yemmy.”
“Thank you, Charles. You’re too kind. Your presence at my birthday party is the best gift you could give me. I wouldn’t want you to spend any more money.”
Yemmy took Nina’s gift and handed it to the maid, then reached out to take the box, which felt heavy. No one knew what was inside.
