Chapter 317 - Birthday Gifts
Now that the Metro Estate Village is crowded with reporters, Mayor Lopez sent a team to help the residents get in and get out without trouble.
Having the reporters day and night guarding the gate, they also interviewed the other residents who were willing to answer their questions.
But since Gigi Chan, Kelly Varghese, and Prince Alex stay in the Shen Mansion, the Lopez family has to protect them who have to leave the mansion every day for work.
As Madam Hilda Shen's birthday is just a week away, gifts are being sent every day. The tea room has now filled half of its space.
"Madam Shen, another gift was delivered," the butler informed Hilda.
Roberto is holding a giant box. He put it down on the table, got a cutter to open the package.
"Who is the sender, butler Roberto?" Sheena asked excitedly.
"From Janelle, young miss."
Sheena covered her mouth. Janelle is the top brand of bags in the world. The most expensive bags they made are worth millions of dollars.
After the sisters heard Roberto, they came over to the table.
"Mom! You are so lucky! Everyone is sending you all these gifts!" Sheena feels thrilled for her mom.
"I wondered how much the bag cost!" Deana echoed.
Robert took out a large white box and placed it on the table. Didn't waste another second; the sister unboxed the gift.
Deana, who opened the box, and Sheena filmed everything. She is actually nervous because it has been many years since the last time she was in the limelight. Lately, she started a YouTube channel, and now she has gained a lot of subscribers.
After getting pregnant early, she hid from the world to avoid the issue.
"Hi, guys! Young Miss is here! Check it out! JANELLE sent mom a gift! We are unboxing it now. I'm pretty nervous! I mean, I am a fan of this brand. All of their bags are awesome! And the price… You guys know what I mean. So, come on and join us!"
Sheena was currently on live streaming. Her subscribers stormed the comments with messages, and most were praises. Like her, they were excited to find out what kind of bag JANELLE would give to Madam Hilda Shen as a birthday present.
"Oh, my gosh! Mom, this is lovely!" Deana couldn't help but burst out in excitement. She took out the bag and showed it to their mom, who was currently having tea.
"Mom, the bag is named after you!" Sheena exclaimed after she read what was written on the card.
"Dear Madam Shen, please accept this small gift from us…."
Sheena read the rest of the card, which contains birthday wishes. And in the last paragraph, it says like this,
"We are delighted to dedicate our latest collection after your name…." Sheena continued then, finished reading the card. After that, she focuses the camera on her face.
"This is awesome! This bag hasn't been on the market yet! So I don't know how much it is!"
Sheena's comment section flooded with messages from her subscribers. They started guessing the price. Then one comment made everyone ecstatic. Most of them sighed with envy, as they could never afford it.
"The price of that bag once it goes to market would be more or less two million US dollars. No confirmation yet, but the cost would play around that."
"OMG! That's insane!"
"What the hell of a price!"
Then more comments follow. Sheena continued her live streaming when Roberto announced.
"Ahem. Second young Miss Sheena, there are another two boxes here. One address for you, and the other is for the first young Miss Deana."
"What? For us?" the sisters said at once, shocked. They lowered their gazes to the boxes Roberto placed in front of them. Indeed, it was a dress for them.
Excitedly, the sisters opened the box, and the bags they found inside were the latest collection JANELLE releases this month.
Sheena and Deana look at each other. They knew the prices of these bags. They aren't a million dollars, but the prices are at least five hundred thousand US dollars.
Still, that was a fortune. And they were fortunate to receive them for free! Their family could afford it, but it is different from being given as a gift!
These are the privileges of being Hailee Davies' in-laws!
"My gosh! I would love to take this when I go to the company! Soon, I'll be managing my brother's yacht business and his several apartments and rental skyscrapers across P Country! And this is perfect! Thank you, JANELLE!"
After Sheena's live streaming of unboxing?JANELLE's birthday gift for Madam Hilda, the news spread like wildfire.
Those other giant leading brands that also prepared a gift for Hilda were encouraged to send gifts to the two Shen princesses.
Evening the following day…
"Madam Shen, Jeremy Blocks sent a representative to give you a gift personally."
Sheena and Deana look at each other. The moment they heard this brand name, only one thing registered in their heads. Jeremy Blocks are known for producing stilettos with genuine gemstone on them.
"Alright."
Butler Roberto left the Tearoom to get to the representative waiting at the mansion's entrance hall. The guy stood on his feet the moment he saw the butler come back.
"Please, follow me, sir. This way…"
Soon, the representative entered the Tearoom and greeted Madam Shen and her two daughters. Not wasting his mission, he immediately placed a huge box in front of Madam Shen and showed the shoes inside.
As what the sisters had guessed, it was indeed a stiletto with a diamond on the straps.
"We hope that Madam Shen likes our gift to wear to her grand birthday party," said the representative humbly.
Sheena, who was too itchy to check every detail of the shoes, remarked in her head. 'Who else would not like it? The shoes were stunning!'
Hilda fit out the pair of color gold stilettos, and it was perfectly her size, as well. It felt comfortable on her feet. After trying it out, she lifted her gaze at the representative and said,
"Of course. It was lovely. I like it very much. I would definitely wear it during my special day." Madam Hilda nodded elegantly at the representative, who was named Mr. Clifford. "Butler Roberto, please serve some tea for our guest."
Butler Roberto bowed, then walked toward the pastry inside the Tearoom door. Meanwhile, Hilda returned her gaze to Mr. Clifford, then smiled.
She said, "Please, send my utmost gratitude to Mr. Jeremy Blocks. I never expected to receive a special present from the top shoe brand."
"It was our honor, Madam Shen," Mr. Clifford retorted politely.
"Please, take a seat, Mr. Clifford, and have tea with us." Afterward, Hilda offered the empty couch on her left side.
"Thank you for your warm accommodation, Madam Shen. But before I forget, I also have something for Miss Sheena and Miss Deana."
Mr. Clifford placed two boxes in front of the sisters. Deana and Sheena were surprised. That is why it pleased them to receive a gift as well.
"Oh, my gosh! Can you see it, guys?" Sheena, who also filmed this encounter, couldn't hide her surprise. "This is too cute!"
The theme on her mom's birthday is the color of gold and yellow gold evening gowns. The Jeremy Blocks shoes she received is an emerald green shoe with gold clip peacocks.
'It was too pretty!' Sheena thought happily.
On the other hand, Deana received a black stiletto with gemstone detail on its straps. Pleased with their gifts, both sisters thank Mr. Clifford.
In the past few days, more gifts have been sent for Madam Hilda and her daughters. It is obvious that this is because of Hailee's influence.
Hilda is a long customer of these famous brands; however, it was different now that she became the mother-in-law of Hailee Davies. The girl who is a dream of every mother to marry their tycoon son.
"Mom, look at Sheena's YT subscribers! It was a million just in a day!"
Hilda looked at Deana, then lowered her gaze to the laptop on the table. Sheena dreamed of becoming a professional model and influencer. But because of what happened, she left the industry too early.
And now that she gathered her courage to go back to what she loves to do, the people accepted her.
Their family has always been staying away from the limelight, so everyone is curious about what kind of daily life they have been through every day.
One evening, Sheena finally accepts these requests. She began filming even a simple routine the moment she woke up in the morning. Now that her husband and three kids had arrived, she happily introduced them to the world.
"Second Young Miss, please ambush Miss Hailee and your brother! Grant us a special content of the princess' presence!"
"Yes, Second Young Miss Sheena! We love to have a sneak peek at them!"
One subscriber boldly started asking for this request. Now, with the request, they flooded Sheena's channel.
After she talked to Hailee, her sister-in-law agreed. They will ambush her brother in the evening.
Holding her camera, Sheena heaves a long sigh, then smiles.
She whispered, "Alright, guys. I am now standing outside of my brother's bedroom door.. He arrived from the company thirty minutes ago, so I am going inside to ambush what he is up to now. Let's go!"
