?Chapter 1578:


    Sandra froze, suddenly feeling embarrassed about her earlier worries. The Harper family had wealth beyond measure—why would they withhold a handful of presents from her?


    She remembered the enormous pile of gifts, but she preferred unwrapping them herself, savoring the moment.


    “No thanks, I’ll handle it,” she said quickly, hurrying upstairs, curious about what rich people gave as gifts.


    The sight that greeted her made her stop short. Her room was overflowing with packages—hundreds of them, arranged neatly across the coffee table and spilling onto the floor, wrapped in glossy paper and tied with ribbons.


    The sheer quantity left her stunned. Giving a few to her mom seemed reasonable.


    Excited, she started unwrapping the gifts one at a time.


    She soon realized that the preferences of the wealthy were… peculiar.


    Common items like nes, fragrances, lipsticks, nail polish, luxury handbags, and skincare collections were no surprise.


    But then there were things she couldn’t wrap her head around, like a full set of lingerie. Who had brought this? Was that even appropriate?


    And a pair of pajamas—made of premium material, designed provocatively—which she secretly liked but still found odd as a gift. She had only sorted through a fraction of the stack, and the strange items kept umting.


    It was clear why Julia had offered to help; she would be unpacking until dawn at this pace.


    The initial excitement faded, along with her desire to keep everything for herself.


    She quickly summoned Julia, who arrived with two maids to assist with the unpacking.


    They kept the practical items for Sandra and moved the rest to the storage room.


    As a gesture of gratitude, Sandra allowed each of them to select a couple of items for themselves.


    She picked out two nes, two fragrances, several lipsticks, and two skincare kits for Keira.

    For Brenna and Lilith, who had put in tremendous effort on her wee banquet, she also chose some thoughtful gifts. And for Giselle, she made sure to reserve something special.


    Sandra went to Brenna’s room bearing a thoughtful present—two elegant bottles of fragrance. Her heart raced with anxiety, fearing that Brenna might dismiss the offering as inexpensive and look down on her.


    After a gentle rap on the door, she clutched the perfumes firmly and entered, a wave of unease washing over her.


    Brenna looked up. “What’s the matter?”


    Sandra paused, her cheeks flushing with self-consciousness. “The banquetst night was a smashing triumph, all because of you and Lilith. I was at a loss for how to express my gratitude, so I selected these two bottles of perfume for you. I hope you like them.”
