Chapter 150 Whose Plan Is This
Linda had a panicked gaze and tugged Shirley’s hand, wanting to say something. However, Shirley
insisted, “Have you forgotten that you saved Gareth’s life? The Wickam family should not have
disregarded your good deed in public!”
However, Shirley did not notice a sly glint in Linda’s eyes. She was doing exactly whatt Linda wanted.
Shirley had unwittingly become Linda’s pawn. Linda thought Shirley’s presence had saved her a lot of
trouble.
As Linda was about to pretend to stop Shirley, Shirley headed straight toward Julia. “Old Madam
Wickam.”
Julia turned around and saw Shirley walking toward her with a smile. Seeing her smile, Julia smiled back
and said, “Ms. Lowe, what’s the matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMany guests began watching Shirley and Julia. They were not interested in the gourmet delicacies on
the table. They had those so frequently that they were sick of them.
Instead, they were more interested in the scene before them and hoped it would unfold dramatically.
One should know that Shirley was Linda’s best friend and was close. Thus, Shirley could not bear seeing
Linda suffer indignity. The crowd soon noticed Shirley and Linda whispering amongst themselves, and
Linda seemed in disagreement about something. Thus, they were curious to hear what Shirley would say
to Julia.
Shirley chuckled and nodded. “Yes, there is something that I would like to speak to you about. I believe
you will be curious once you hear about it. It will interest all the guests too.”
Gareth frowned and turned to Elisa. However, Elisa only glanced at Shirley briefly before looking away
and remained undisturbed as she sat beside Julia.
All this while, Elisa never bothered to look at Gareth. That infuriated Gareth, prompting his expression to
darken further.
Julia did not want Shirley to continue speaking, but she could not stop her in this situation. Thus, she had
no choice but to smile and say, “What is this matter that I would be curious about?”
Shirley smiled. “I heard from Linda that she prepared your birthday present on the same day as Elisa.
Furthermore, the present costs a hefty sum. Family members tend to think similarly. I wonder if you
would like both of their presents.”
Isn’t she asking Old Madam Wickam to compare the gifts?
Most of the guests could not help but purse their lips. One of the guests complained, “Isn’t Ms. Lowe
being childish?”
Someone beside him chuckled. “Is this childish? It is a tactic to embarrass her opponent. Since Shirley
dared to say this, it means she knows Elisa’s present is not as good as Linda’s. Once the presents are
brought out, everyone would think there is something wrong with Elisa. Would you still think it is childish
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthen?”
“That’s right. Once they bring out the presents, and Elisa’s present look worthless, old Madam Wickam
would be disappointed in her. Thus, it is a good plan from Shirley.”
“Are you sure it is Shirley’s plan and not Linda’s?”
After someone said that, the crowd began to whisper amongst themselves as if discussing this
possibility.
However, someone soon replied, “Did you all not see what happened just now? Shirley must have
brought up the birthday gift matter to Linda, but Linda disagreed and refused to let Shirley reveal it. Thus,
it is all Shirley’s plan.”
“That’s right. Linda has always been kind. Otherwise, why would she risk her life to save Gareth? She
has the courage and kindness we all aspire.”
No one refuted that statement. They all thought Linda had sacrificed her life to save Gerald. The only
reason she survived was that God pitied her and let her live.
Thus, everyone looked at Julia, waiting to see what she would do.
