Chapter 616 One Down
Prisci’s face turned pale instantly. She was merely stating the truth. Felix wasn’t badpared to the average children, but he was far from being as bright as Jonathan.
However, she still didn’t dare to offend Miranda, With a sheepish smile, she exined, “Ms. Miranda, what are you talking about? All the children in our ss are the smartest.”All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
Her statement brought a slight sense of relief to the hearts of the mothers present.
After all, no one wants to hear others speaking ill of their own children.
Cecilia understood then, that Prisci wanted to avoid offending anyone, striving to be a person. that everyone liked.
The only person in this world liked by everyone is the person on the money bill.
The gathering was underway.
The mothers chatted about their respective husbands and children, mostly sharing the ups and downs of their family lives.
Cecilia struggled to join in the conversation, finding it difficult to remember each of them. After all, not everyone possessed Nathaniel’s photographic memory.
Prici stepped forward. “Ms. Cecilia, don’t be shy. It’s perfectly normal not to know anyone at first. You’ll gradually get to know everyone.”
Cecilia nced at her, suddenly have an idea.
“Mrs. Veymar, how long have you been a member of the parents‘ association? Nearly a year, hasn’t it? Do you know all these people?”
Upon hearing this, Prisci immediately responded with pride, “Of course, I was the one who helped them at first.”
After she finished speaking, a sense of destion washed over her. All the rich man’s wives she had once led into the parents‘ association shunned her, considering her incapable. None of them would evenmunicate with her.
“Can you help mepile aprehensive profile on all of them?”
Prisci was taken aback. “Why do you need their information?”
“I’ve always had a bit of a problem with recognizing faces,” Cecilia exined. “But for Jonathan’s sake. I’m willing to put in the effort. When I get home, I’ll study their photos until I remember
them all.”
Hearing that she was doing it for her child, Prisci no longer harbored any doubts. However, she wasn’t willing to work for nothing.
Cecilia pulled out a box from her pocket. “You’ve taken such good care of me, so I’ve specially

prepared a gift for you.”
She opened the exquisite box, revealing a pair of beautiful emerald bracelets. The bracelets were incredibly refined, hand–carved from the finest nephrite. Their value was estimated to be at least a couple of million.
“I can’t ept such a precious gift,” Prisci hurriedly declined..
She might said that, but deep down, she really wanted it.
Cecilia saw her Instagram post about how a family heirloom emerald bracelet supposedly gifted by her mother–inw was a fake. The real one had been given to her sister–inw.
Consequently, Cecilia specifically purchased a pair of nephrite bracelets.
Taking into ount that Prisci’s husband ran a rather small business and getting Dorothy into preschool required pulling many strings, Cecilia knew better than to give overly expensive gifts. Not only would it arouse Prisci’s suspicion, but it would also make her feel as though she was cheapening herself.
“It’s not a lot of money, just over a million. I spend more than this on a casual shopping spree. This is just a small token of my affection. I’ll take it as you looking down on my gift If refuse.”

Prisci had never imagined that Cecilia was so wealthy. A bracelet worth over a million was: something she couldn’t buy, even if she asked her husband.
Yet, Cecilia gave it to her without batting an eye, even iming that it wasn’t much.
“All right, I’ll ept it then. As for their information, I’ll have it ready by tonight and send it to you,” she said.
“Thank you.”
“From now on, we’re friends,” Prisci said with a warm smile. “If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’ll do everything I can to help, no doubt about it.”
Not far off, Miranda was engaged in conversation with a group of fellow mothers, asionally ncing in their direction.
