A Crazy One-night Stand

Sure enough, just as Wilson expected.

After the four of them left, the private courtyard erupted into chaos. 

Since Lincoln and Wilson were no longer there to control the situation, everyone started talking at the top of their voices. 

Rainee taunted bitterly, "Miss Alina, you don't have a father, do you?"

Alina's heart sank.

Rainee continued mocking her, "No wonder you're so ill-bred. Grandpa was just being polite. Did you really think you could be a shareholder of the Scott Group? You must have thought too highly of yourself!"  

"Mom, how could you say that? Anyway, Alina really has some tricks up her sleeve. She could get 5% of the shares in return for a cheap jigsaw puzzle. Could you do it if it were you?" Nancy chimed in. 

Caitlin, who remained silent, also spoke up, "Aunt Rainee, Nancy, you shouldn't have said that!" 

Her face was smiling, but her words were full of sarcasm. "Miss Alina must have not slept last night to complete the jigsaw puzzle. It's not an easy task to put together a puzzle of 2000 pieces. I remember that when I was in college, a female classmate spent two weeks on a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle. Miss Alina must have been extremely gifted to complete the 2000-piece puzzle in one night."  

Caitlin said this with a wry smile. Her tone was soft but every word was laced with doubt. 

She suspected that this puzzle was not done by Wilson and Alina.

In addition, the fabric puzzle that she gave wasn't done by her. She told the truth, and at this moment, she regretted it very much.

Rainee took advantage of the situation and interrupted her coldly, "Caitlin, you are being too honest. Look at your Eastern landscape fabric puzzle, it's such a magnificent piece of art. However, you ruined it by saying that the puzzle was put together by the disciple of some French designer. How dumb can you be? Can't you learn from Alina? It doesn't matter who really did the puzzle or what material is it made out of. In fact, the most important feature is that the puzzle must be extremely difficult. The more difficult it seems, the better. It doesn't matter because you can hire cheap labour to complete this menial task quickly, then claim that you were the one who had completed it on your own. Who would know the truth? No one saw it happen anyway."  

Nancy nodded her head vigorously. "That's right, Caitlin. You should have been more mindful of this. It's obvious that your gift was more valuable and beautiful, but Alina was the one who received shares from Grandfather. Why? It's because you're stupid. Why did you tell the truth? Nowadays, people aren't receptive to the truth." 

Alina clenched her fists tightly, which were hidden under the table. She initially thought that she could withstand the insults other people hurled at her. 

But when Wilson's relatives around the table started questioning the efforts that she and Wilson had put into completing the puzzle, she felt indignant. They were indirectly accusing her of being a liar. 

She felt even more uncomfortable when she thought of how tired Wilson looked when he spent the whole night putting the puzzle pieces together tirelessly. 

In fact, it didn't matter what others said about her.

But she couldn't stand it when the people that she cared about were dragged in the mud. 

Alina felt angry for Wilson's sake when his relatives were suspicious of their efforts in completing the puzzle. 

Besides, they also implied in a roundabout way that Lincoln was an old fool, which made her furious.

At that moment, they were still chattering away, their words dripping with scorn and contempt.
