Chapter 20 Who Remembers My Birthday.
Finished
“You all only remember Winona’s birthday, but who remembers mine? Am I just an optional existence in your eyes?”
At the relentlessly harsh and intense criticism from her family, Emery’s heart gradually grew cold.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, the anger within her burning fiercely like a flame.
She took a deep breath, straining to regain her composure. A mocking smile tugged at the corners of her mouth..
Then, in an icy tone, she said, “Do you think I wanted this? In your eyes, I’ve never been a part of this family. Did any of you even remember my birthday? If that’s the case, why bother accusing me here under false pretenses? This gift was from someone else; I had no prior knowledge of it. Don’t you think your reactions are a bit over the top?”
Upon hearing this. Gary exploded with anger. He raised his hand, ready to strike Emery. His arm was lifted high, his palm trembling slightly in the air. However, Nicholas, standing by his side, quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.
At that moment. Winona also came over, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears, her hands nervously clutching at the hem of her dress
She uttered in a wounded tone, “Emery, I know you might not like me, but today is my birthday. How could you treat me this way?”
Her pitiful demeanor drew the accusing gazes of the surrounding guests, who were none the wiser. It was as if Emery had committed some unforgivable crime.
Emery gazed upon the unsightly faces of this family, feeling a wave of desolation in her heart.
She no longer paid them any mind. Taking the gift box, she turned and ascended the stairs, leaving behind this place that had left her feeling suffocated.
From behind, the sounds of the Langford family’s curses and the guests‘ hushed whispers could be heard… Dragging her feet. Emery made her way back to her room, slamming the door shut with a resounding bang The door seemed to art as a barrier, instantly shutting out the noisy and chaotic world outside.
She walked straight up to the vanity, her eyes intently fixed on the mirror.
Reflected in the mirror was a distinct handprint marring her pale check, a stark reminder of the recent debacle.
She took a deep breath, her lips curving up slightly, revealing a hint of a mocking smile
The sadness and resentment that had just filled her eyes disappeared in an instant, as if they had never been there at all. “Getting upset over this so–called family? It’s simply the biggest joke!”
In the depths of her heart, Emery scoffed.
“They simply don’t deserve it!”

Gary managed to squeeze out a faint smile, raising his voice to address the crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter is young and naive, so I apologize if she has caused any amusement. I hope this minor incident hasn’t dampened your spirits. Let’s carry it with our evening!
The guests understood implicitly, responding with a chorus of nods.
It was as if the recent unpleasant confrontation was nothing more than a minor hiccup, quickly drowned out by the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses
They continued to hold their elegant wine glasses, savoring the exquisite wine with grace. They chatted and laughed heartily thoroughly immersing themselves in the intoxicating atmosphere.
Nicholas Seamus, Zachary, and Hank were gathered together, idly chatting while swirling their glasses of red wine.
Yet Zachary’s gaze was frequently darting through the crowd.

Mila and Niamh watched the retreating figure of the housekeeper, exchanging a knowing smile. Their eyes were filled with malicious anticipation. “Now all we have to do is wait for the show!”
Knock, knock, knock!
A crisp knock on the door shattered the tranquility within the room.
Emery, completely engrossed in typing on her keyboard, froze at the sound.
She lifted her head, rose to her feet, and walked toward the door. As she opened it, she saw Wanda standing outside with a tray, a glass of red wine and a slice of cake loaded onto it.
“Ms. Emery, this was sent over by Mr. Seamus!” Wanda respectfully stated.
Emery was momentarily taken aback, but soon a slight smile graced her face. She reached out to accept the tray, saying, “All right, thank you, Wanda.”
Then she turned around and walked back into the room. It seems only Seamus truly cares about me in this family.
Emery returned to her desk, sipping the red wine as she continued to type away.
