Chapter 109
Bonnie remained quiet for a moment before answering, “Yeah, I have loads of birthday presents.”
Although none of her family gave her presents, she received loads from her friends and colleagues. There were so many that she could fill a train.
Avril noticed Bonnie’s brief pause and thought maybe Bonnie was lying. The former assumed Bonnie must have gotten no present at all but said she did to preserve her reputation.
‘My heart can just break for her!‘
Avril removed her necklace and gave it to Bonnie, saying, “This is my most cherished necklace. I hope you like it.”
“Um…”
Avril crossed her arms and said, “There can only be two reasons for you to turn down the offer. It’s
either you hate it, or you don’t want to be my friend.”
Since she put it that way, Bonnie could only accept it.
At that moment, Trina looked down on Bonnie, thinking, ‘How pathetic that you only get one gift, Bonnie. Look at my pile of presents. There are so many that I can probably load a car with them. It’s my birthday, and you’re not going to steal my limelight.‘
Suddenly, fireworks exploded in the sky and disrupted her thoughts.
‘Is somebody playing with fireworks? It sounds like quite the show.‘
Everyone was curious about it and hurried out of the hotel. Then, they saw a magnificent sight. There were fireworks as far as the eyes could see, exploding and glowing against the night sky.
“Wow! They’re wonderful! This grand gesture must cost a fortune. Just how many fireworks are there?” One of the guests uttered.
Immediately after, the fireworks exploded to form a brief phrase, “Happy birthday, Bonnie!”
‘Wait a minute. Bonnie?!‘
Everyone gazed at her and realized she was just as shocked as them. Then, they realized it was a surprise for her.
