Chapter 1644
Everyone saw Adam coming their way with a box at hand.
He walked toward Charmine and handed the box to her, saying, "Charmine, I brought you the thing you want to give the village chief."
Charmine accepted it and looked at the village chief. "Grandma, I was going to give this to you later at home. Since my father is here, I might as well give it to you now."
The village chief smiled. "Okay, Charmine, thank you. Gifts are a bonus, but I'm already very happy that you attended my celebration."
Charmine smiled.
Zoe stood transfixed on her spot.
The box looked very high-end. What if Charmine bought something very expensive?
If so, even if her handcraft was delicate, the villagers, who had not seen so much money before, would like it more!
Zoe narrowed her eyes and looked at Charmine cautiously.
Charmine opened the delicate box and poured out the contents...
Were those a pile of wood in all shapes?
"Ha...!"NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Zoe laughed mockingly. "Ms. Jordan, do you know what occasion this is? It's our village chief's birthday! Even if you didn't prepare any gift, don’t just bring out some random...wood blocks? Hahaha! Oh, how funny you are. Do you think our village chief is three years old that she'd play with this?"
The villagers dared not say anything to Charmine due to her status. They did not say anything, even when she did not have a gift.
This, however, was the breaking point.
She actually brought some random woods as a gift?
She showed no respect!
One of the committee members could not help saying, "Ms. Jordan, you... If you don't have a gift, we won't say anything, but don’t embarrass our village chief in front of everyone."
With that said, the women who had been trying to hold back finally spoke up, 'That’s right. Our village chief treats you so well, and she’s always helped you unconditionally!" "She insisted on your innocence and fully supported you when you were that close to being kicked out of the village!" "City folks are so proud of themselves! They think they're rich, and that they can humiliate anyone." "Why would she bring out a pile of wood? What an insult!" "She's crossed the line now. How rude!"
Hearing their rude remarks of Charmine, Adam's expression darkened.
What did these people know? They had not even seen the gift in its entirety, yet their accusations were long and winded already! 1
Adam, unable to stomach all of this, was about to speak when the village chief waved it off. "Everyone, stop talking! Charmine knows I get bored during the day and lets me play with these to get my brain going. It's nice!"
The women were speechless, while Zoe was livid.
"Village chief, she did this to you, yet you’re still protecting her?"
The village chief was so biased!
The gift she gave her was so delicate and unique, but not a praise came from her apart from a simple thank-you.
Charmine gave the village chief a reassuring look and smiled at the scorns. She looked up and fixed her eyes on those who started this. "I haven't given my gift. What's the hurry? It hasn't started yet, so don't speak too soon."
That obviously caught Zoe by surprise. "What?" she blurted.
Charmine ignored her and looked at the stacks of wood in front of her, piecing them together.
When everyone heard her words, they gathered and watched her.
They saw...
It was as if her hands had magical power that the randomly shaped wood pieces somehow merged under her hands.
