As soon as Gramps Hopper came down from the stage, the audience hurriedly clustered around him, wanting to talk to him alone.
However, Gramps Hopper took advantage of this opportunity to introduce Amelia to them.
Amelia knew his intention and did not let him down. She smiled gracefully and began to talk to them with decency.
After a short while, everyone's impression of Amelia was refreshed. The woman who was said to be beautiful but behaved frivolously, was nothing like that. Each of her gesture and facial expression was very well managed that show decency.
If she was really a frivolous woman, she would show a seductive charm, but she did not.
Besides, she seemed to be knowledgeable, because she managed to somehow continue the conversation initiated by them. Occasionally when she encountered conversation that she did not have any knowledge about, she would quieten down and listen to other's attentively. Then she would show a "so that's how it is" expression with a smile. How would someone not like such a modest lady?
People within Gramps Hopper social network were mostly people with wisdom. After a few rounds of conversations, they immediately knew that the words that Gramps Hopper just said on the stage were not for the sake of Amelia, but she was just like this!
After Patrick saw all this, his solemn expression gradually turned into gentleness.
Then, he secretly put his left hand into his pocket to make sure that he did not miss anything, and then walked toward Amelia.
"Amy."
Amelia excuse herself from the crowd. She looked at Patrick excitedly and said, "Mr. Hopper, you're here!"
"Yes." Patrick looked at her cute face, which was full of energy, and his mood was also lifted. "Amy, you did very well just now."
Amelia felt embarrassed and said, "It is all thanks to grandpa! By the way, where's the gift I prepared for grandpa?"
"Here it is." Patrick handed her the long box he had always carried with him.
"I'll give it to Grandpa right now." When the voice fell, Amelia held his arm with her other hand and said affectionately, "Why don't you come with
me?"
Patrick nodded and followed her to meet him.
Just after a while, Amelia saw a lot of people surrounding Gramps Hopper. Some of them had already gone ahead of her to celebrate Gramps Hopper's birthday.
Amelia was not in a hurry to get involved, but obediently lined up.
This scene once again gave them a favorable impression in the eyes of others.
If Amelia was a pampered person, then they would have been pushed away by now and she would be the first to present their gift to Gramps Hopper.
Finally, it was Amelia's turn. She saw that round tables behind Gramps Hopper were filled with priceless birthday gifts, which made her feel inferior.
After withdrawing her gaze, Amelia raised the thing in her hand and said obediently, "Grandpa, this is the birthday gift I have prepared for you. I wish good fortune, longevity, and healthy blessing come to you!"
Then, Gramps Hopper said happily, "Very well. You're so kind. Grandpa will take it."
At this time, Eve said maliciously, "Dad, what's the gift? Why don't you open it and show it to everyone?" "Okay, then open it and have a look." Gramps Hopper lowered his head, opened the two buttons on the box, and opened the lid. He saw a scroll of painitng inside.
At the same time, Gramps Hopper took it out and asked Howard to help him to unrolled the scroll in front of everyone.
In the painting, there were a scene of two cranes strolling in the plum forest. It could be seen that the painting was very exquisite, but it was obviously not a masterpiece of some famous family like Qi Baishi. Compared with those gifts presented to Gramps Hopper, it was inferior.
Eve mocked, "Miss Amelia Ramsay, don't you aware whose birthday party is this? What kind of gift you think you are presenting"
The Hopper Family was surprised. Was Eve trying to make a scene?
Amelia glanced at Eve and admitted generously, "Yes, my 'The Paint of Life' is indeed worthless, but it is a gift I've carefully selected for grandpa. Sincerity is valuable than the price."
"Sincerity? Who attending this banquet are not sincere? Can you give an example?" Eve asked with bad intention.
"Are you sure you want to hear the truth, Ms.
Watson?" "Of course!"
"Then please answer me first, Ms. Watson, what is the purpose of this birthday banquet?"
Eve said without thinking deeply, "Of course, it's to make dad happy!"
"That's right. We're holding a birthday banquet to bring happiness to grandpa. It's obvious that grandpa was very happy when he received my gift just now. However, Ms. Watson suddenly stepped in and interfered. The atmosphere was frozen. Can grandpa still be happy in such a scene?"
Eve's face was stiff. She was intended to humiliate Amelia's birthday gift, but she did not expect that Amelia turned the situation upside down, now Eve was the one humiliating herself!
However, she could not slap her like how she would usually do. After forcing a smile, Eve said, "I'm just joking. Miss Amelia Ramsay, you don't have to be so serious, right?"
"Oh, it turns out that Ms. Watson is joking. I thought you really don't like the painting I've presented. You know, it was personally instructed by Mr. Hopper." Amelia's voice was soft, but the meaning was sharp.
"Miss Amelia Ramsay, please walk in the direction of this arrow."
After the waiter finished speaking, he left, leaving Amelia alone in the same place, puzzled.
However, the direction of the arrow was pointed at the direction to the lobby.
Therefore, Amelia did not hesitate. Holding the note, she walked straight ahead.
When she turned the corner, a waiter suddenly appeared and handed her a note again.
Amelia opened it and found that it was an arrow that was "turn to the left". Since it happened to be the direction she was going, she did not hesitate to the instruction.
When she arrived at the lobby, Amelia noticed that Patrick seemed to have disappeared. Just as she was about to probe further, a waiter suddenly walked towards her...
Everything was the same. Amelia took the note and opened it. She found that the arrow was pointed to the right.
She subconsciously looked over and found a red wooden tightly door on she right. She did not know what was inside.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" Just as she was in a daze, Florence's bright voice suddenly came from behind her.
Having learned from previous lessons, Amelia did not dare to make the decision without authorization. She showed Florence the three notes she had received. "I don't know who arranged it. Florence, where is your second brother?"
Florence looked down at the note. "I don't know. Maybe he went to the toilet."
After that, she said, "Sister- in- law, these three notes seem to lead you somewhere. Don't you want to have a look?"
Amelia hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "I'm afraid there's something wrong."
"I see..." Florence patted her chest and gave her confidence, "I'll go with you!"
"Well..." Amelia felt strange and said, "How about, forget it?"
However, Florence grabbed her hand and pulled her to the direction instructed. "Hey, sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Tonight, this place belong to The
Hopper Family, and Grandpa will be here. It won't be a problem!"
"Florence, slow down..." Amelia was still looking around for Patrick. With him, she could feel at ease.
