Chapter 262

Faith caught on to the weird vibe between Kitty and me and started eyeing Kitty like a hawk

Any woman who could walk straight into Neil’s house must be something else.

Kitty had dyed her hair brown, which made her look more docile and gentler. Her nose and lip piercings were gone, but the row of earrings on her ears were still there, adding a dash of rebellion to her otherwise soft demeanor

I knew exactly what kind of daughter-in-law Ryan and Faith were looking for. They preferred a girl who was well-read, generous, simple yet elegant, and

full of noble at

They definitely wouldn’t like the row of earrings on Kitty’s ears. And they still didn’t know about Kitty’s background.

“Neil, who is this?” Even though Faith might not like Kitty’s look, she still managed to keep her tone soft.

“A friend” Neil responded curtly, almost coldly

Kitty quickly got her act together. She beamed at us, “Hello! I’m Neil’s friend. Just call me Kitty I heard from Neil that it’s his mom’s birthday today, so I brought a gift”

She walked up to Faith and handed her a birthday present. It was a transparent, delicate box containing a beautiful red crystal ring. Judging from the quality, it definitely wasn’t cheap

As expected, Faiths eyes lit up when she saw the gift. She showered praise on the ring, and Kitty seemed to relax a bit.

But the next second. Faith returned the gift to Kitty, I can’t accept such an expensive present. Kitty, why don’t you stay and have dinner with us?”

Kitty was taken aback, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. It was awkward to have a gift returned, but Faith’s refusal was understandable. She couldn’t possibly accept a gift this expensive from a mere friend of Neil’s.

“Kitty, come sit with us” I tried to ease the awkwardness.

“Okay.” Kitty nodded, placed the gift on the table, and sat down next to me.

I was friends with Kitty, and she was quite outgoing, so the atmosphere in the living room quickly lightened up

Ryan and Faith appeared to be fine on the surface, but from time to time they would exchange glances and size Kitty and me up.

Neil sat on the other couch looking rather gloomy I couldn’t tell whether he was pleased or displeased with Kitty’s arrival.

“Mr. Iceberg, didnt you prepare a gift for your mom?” Kitty asked Neil.

Faith was a bit surprised by this nickname and asked, “Mr. Iceberg?”

Kitty playfully stuck out her tongue. 7 think Neil is too cold, so I gave him this nickname. I hope you don’t mind. It’s just a joke among friends”

“It’s okay I just thought the nickname was quite unique.” Faith said with a smile.

Kitty seized the opportunity to praise Faith, “How can such a gentle woman like you have such a cold son? But Neil definitely got his looks from you guys. He’s so handsome!

Faith maintained her polite smile. She wasn’t the kind of person who could be easily swayed by simple compliments, and she had heard plenty of them already

Neil glared at Kitty. “Shut up!”

“We’re all sitting here; it’s only interesting if we chat a little, right? Kitty turned to me with a smile.

I agreed with her, “Yes. It’s always nice to have you around; we always have plenty of topics to talk about.”

This was a genuine compliment. Kitty was delighted and winked at me

Neil frowned at me, seemingly not approving of my words, but he wasn’t as impatient with me.

Just then, a servant came over. “Ms. Tueley and Ms. Gloria are here, but they’ve been stopped by security”

“What is she doing here? Send her away!” Ryan said coldly

“Let them in “Everyone was taken aback by Neil’s sudden remark

Faith’s face immediately changed, ‘Neil, working with StarGlow Enterprises is one thing, but are you planning to get involved with Bonnie again?”

She asked him directly in front of me and Kitty, not holding anything back

Neil responded calmly. “I can’t turn them away because we’re working together”

The servant naturally took Neil’s side and immediately left.

The living room fell silent again, I was familiar with this slightly awkward atmosphere, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I just quietly sipped my drink.

Kitty also remained calm, not saying a word.

After a while, the servant brought Bonnie, Gloria, and Kate in.

Bonnie was dressed very formally today, clearly putting a lot of thought into her outfit. After all, this was her first formal encounter with Faith,

As soon as Faith saw Bonnie, her face charged, clearly not wanting to put on a show anymore.

Ryan’s dissatisfaction was even more apparent He frowned deeply.

“Mr. Whitmore, Mrs. Whitmore, hello! Gloria greeted them calmly with a smile on her face.

Ryan and Faith just snorted and didn’t respond

Of course, they didn’t regard Gloria highly. Although she was now in a high position, this was still the Whitmore family’s territory.

Bonnie humbly said, “Faith, I heard its your birthday today, so I brought a small gift. Happy birthday! I hope you like it”

Her gift was a set of high-grade nutritional products for the elderly.

Faith waved her hand, I never accept gifts on my birthday. I even returned the gift that young lady just gave me.”

Bonnie looked at Kitty.

Kitty nodded, “Yes.”

Of course, Faith had accepted gifts on her birthday before. I had given her some, and she had always happily accepted them.

However, if she didn’t like the person or wasn’t familiar with them, she’d definitely reject any gifts they offered.

“Bonnie, Mrs. Whitmore has accepted your gesture Gloria reminded Bornie.

Bonnie immediately put the gift down and didn’t say another word to avoid making everyone feel awkward.

It was Neil who agreed to let Bonnie and her friends in. Although Ryan and Faith were not happy, they couldn’t just kick them out, so they just frowned and kept their mouths shut.

Bonnie glanced at me, then at Kitty unconsciously biting her lip. There was a clear sign of displeasure in her eyes.

Neil casually said. ‘Please have a seat

Gloria led Bonnie and Kate to sit down. The servant came over to pour them some wine and then left the room

“Ms. Tueley, I heard your shoulder was injured, but you seem fine now. Did you recover that quickly? Faith suddenly said, her tone clearly hostile

Bonnie had posted a photo of her bruised right shoulder online before, along with a doctor’s examination result that showed she had a minor fracture in her scapula

In theory, she shouldn’t have recovered this quickly unless she was lying.

I lowered my head, staying silent. It was now a showdown between Faith and Bonnie
