“More than 50 years ago, someone else also gave me a painting by Zach Zimmer for my birthday.” With tears seeping in from the corners of his eyes, he grabbed Caroline’s hand. “Thank you, Carrie.”

He stared at her deeply, hesitating to say anything more.

Caroline felt like he was looking at another person through her.

“Grandpa…”

“I’m fine.” Jude took a handkerchief out and wiped his tears. “Carrie, I’m very happy with this gift. Let me reward you. Tell me, is there

anything you want?”

Just as Caroline was about to say something, Brie interrupted her. In a displeased tone, Brie said. “But Mr. Morrison Senior, this is only worth one million dollars…”

Jude’s face fell at once. “Brie, you can’t measure the value of a gift by its price! Although this painting is no match for the perfume bottle in terms of price, to me, it’s the most precious gift. Only upstarts will measure gifts by their prices!”

Hearing that, Brie became hot under the collar. The guests around them began to laugh at her too. Just as she turned around to leave, she almost bumped into a staff member who’d rushed over.

Stunned, Caroline looked at the staff member carefully. She hadn’t prepared any second gifts.

“Oh? Quick, show it to me.” Jude laughed. “Carrie, how many surprises are you planning to give me today?”

Before Caroline could say anything, another staff member arrived with a wooden box.

The box was delicately crafted with complex patterns, and its surface was polished to perfection. Clearly, it wasn’t something cheap. The staff member put the box on the table and slowly opened it.

Everyone there, including Caroline, held their breaths.

The moment the box was opened, a beautiful piece of antique ceramic vase came into view.
