Donald was wary of Lilian's nagging; once she started, she just couldn't stop talking.
Penny chuckled and whispered to Kaia, "See? It's happening again. It plays out several times a day."
"They're so cute." Kaia really enjoyed this kind of harmonious and lively family atmosphere; it was the same way she interacted with her parents and younger brother back in the countryside.
Kaia didn't want to mention the Bennett family.
Donald couldn't take it anymore; seeing that pleading was useless, he quickly changed the subject.
He asked, "Alright, honey, you took in a goddaughter today. Didn't you prepare a gift for her?"
"Oh, right." Lilian took off the necklace from her neck. "This is what my mom gave me when I was eighteen. Although it's not very valuable, it's very precious to me. Now, I'll give it to you."
Kaia hesitated. "Um, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"Do you think it's too cheap? It's not as good as the emerald bracelet you give Penny?" Lilian said.
Kaia could tell that Lilian was saying that on purpose.
She said, "Not at all. The pendant on this necklace is top grade. It's not cheap."
Emma was slightly surprised, "Oh, you really have a keen eye—even managed to recognize that this is top grade?"
Kaia replied, "I was interested in it for a while and liked to study all kinds of jade and antiques."
Kaia's words surprised Emma again, "You know antiques?"
"I know a little." Kaia was being modest.
"My goddaughter is truly talented!" Looking at Kaia as if she were a treasure, Lilian said, "Next month, there's going to be a large antique appreciation event in Keoty. If you're free, would you like to go with me?"
No sooner had Lilian finished speaking than Madeline Sharp, the daughter of Lester Sharp, Donald's elder brother, interjected.
She said, "Aunt Lilian, the antique appreciation conference is attended by big shots from all over.
"Kaia is just a greenhorn of twenty years old. What can you do by bringing her along? Do you expect her to identify some treasure for you?"
Lilian became unhappy, but considering she was an elder, she didn't want to argue with a junior.
"Madeline, Kaia is my newly recognized goddaughter. I know you have prejudices against her, but I can vouch for her with my integrity. Kaia is definitely not the person you've heard about."
Madeline said, "Aunt, you've been deceived by her. Only your family treats her like a treasure. The Bennett family has long recognized Kaia's true nature and kicked her out of the house."
"Madeline!" Lilian roared, "I used to see you as a junior and, as your elder, chose not to hold things against you. But you have repeatedly attacked my daughter with your words, clearly showing you have no respect for me.
"Let me ask you: were those remarks you just made your own opinion, or do they represent your father and mother as well?"
Madeline was startled by Lilian's sudden rage and turned back to her parents for help.
Madeline's mother, Judith Sharp, came out with a beaming smile and said, "Lilian, what you said has frightened the young ones. Madeline is just a child—children speak without malice, you know."
Hearing this, Madeline leaned close to Kaia's ear and whispered a complaint.
"What an overgrown baby." Kaia smiled, hiding her face.
"Children speak without malice? Fine, since you say Madeline is just a child, I'll treat her as one.
"But for someone so young to say such vicious things—this isn't the child's fault, it's a failure of upbringing!" As Lilian spoke, she stepped forward to stand protectively in front of Kaia.
Penny chuckled and whispered to Kaia, "See? It's happening again. It plays out several times a day."
