Chapter 30 Refusing to Sign the Contract
The day of Max’s birthday soon came, and the Winthrops invited Ophelia to attend the birthday party.
When Max opened the gift from Ophelia during the gift-opening segment, he exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, this racing suit is really nice! Thank you so much! I hope you brought it without breaking your bank account.”
Ophelia smiled. “You’re welcome. It’s not very expensive.” Then, she cast a smug glance at Elspeth.
When it came to Elspeth’s gift, it was merely a tiny box.
“Elspeth, don’t you think you’re a little too stingy—” Ophelia feigned confusion as she started bringing Elspeth’s so-called ‘miserliness’ to light.
Max unwrapped the gift and saw a car key inside. “Oh my goodness!” he shrieked in excitement. “This is my favorite car! This is the only one in the world, and you can’t buy it even if you have all the money in the world! Elspeth, you’re the best! How did you pull this off?!”
Max was ecstatic. For him, this gift was the best present he had received!
Ophelia looked at the racing suit and quickly realized that her gift was the shabby one in comparison.
“Well, Miss Fleming, you are wealthy indeed to think of my gift as nothing,” Elspeth mocked.
Ophelia lowered her head in embarrassment as she glared fiercely at Elspeth.
Callum’s gift was the segment’s finale, and Max highly anticipated just what he would receive this year. So, when he unwrapped the square box, he was surprised when he saw that all it contained was an asset transfer contract.
“You’ve always liked Death Canyon, haven’t you? You’re an adult from today onwards, so this is my welcome gift to the adult world.” The gift from Callum was equally surprising.
As a result, Callum’s generosity made the presents Max had received from Edmund, Arthur, and Blake seem less note-worthy.
When the party ended, Theodore asked the driver to send Ophelia home. As she gazed at the sky outside, she muttered, “Mr. Winthrop, can
