Chapter 228: Chapter 240: The Poisonous Mango (9)

At 10:30 pm, the lights in the villa were simultaneously turned off by Elijah Smith’s university classmates, and several people pushed out a multi-layered large cake from the villa’s kitchen, which had been prepared in advance. Twenty bright, flickering candles were inserted in it, casting a faint circle of light.

Perhaps it was one of Elijah Smith’s university classmates who started singing the birthday song first, and everyone followed along with the clapping.

The multi-layered large cake was pushed in front of Elijah Smith before it stopped, and the birthday song also stopped.

A very young male voice shouted teasingly: "Elijah Smith, make a wish!"

Elijah Smith smiled and scolded the teasing classmate, then obediently looked at the cake and stayed quiet for a few seconds, as if making a sincere wish, and then everyone and Elijah Smith bent over together to blow out the candles.

The lights in the villa instantly turned back on, and Elijah Smith and two classmates were busy cutting the cake.

Although everyone had already lost their appetite from eating at the banquet’s self-service food area, everyone still symbolically took a piece of cake.

When Isabel Smith and Percy Stanton came to get the cake, it happened that Evelyn Osbert and several of her closely-knit sisters also walked over.

Isabel Smith didn’t actually do much of anything, but each woman has her specific quirks, and Isabel Smith’s quirk was that she was slightly picky about cake, so when she and Percy Stanton walked over to the pre-cut cake, Percy Stanton first served her a piece that looked a little too big, and Isabel Smith shook her head, saying: "There’s too much cream on this one, it’s not good for digestion."

Percy Stanton casually put the cake back down and picked up another piece: "This one has a little less fruit on top..."

Isabel Smith commented, then raised her head and looked at the row of not-so-neatly-cut cakes, finally pointing at a perfectly square, not too big nor too small piece with a balanced amount of fruit and cream.

Percy Stanton, without any impatience, reached out and held it up, casually asking Isabel Smith: "This one?"

"Mmhmm," Isabel Smith nodded, raised her hand, and took it: "The cream and fruit on this one are just right, it’s not too greasy, and it won’t be tainted by the acidity of the fruit, so it won’t be uncomfortable to eat."

"Heh~"

Just as Isabel Smith finished speaking, Evelyn Osbert, who was also getting cake with her sisters, suddenly let out a soft laugh. Her laughter was very faint, but everyone could hear it quite clearly, and the sarcastic meaning behind it was especially obvious.

In fact, being picky about cake wasn’t a particularly serious matter, but Evelyn Osbert’s cold laugh made Isabel Smith seem like she was putting on airs.

Isabel Smith suddenly felt a little angry in her heart, and she subconsciously raised her head to glare fiercely at Evelyn Osbert.

Evelyn Osbert nonchalantly picked up a piece of cake without even looking at Isabel Smith, and walked over to a table not far away with her sisters, then sat down gracefully.

There were many young men surrounding that table, and Evelyn Osbert has always liked interacting with men, so as soon as she sat down, she bit her fork, with a reserved yet sweet smile on her face, and began politely chatting with the men.

Evelyn Osbert looked very beautiful, and men are sensual creatures, so they naturally did not treat such a beautiful woman with any negligence, and soon, Evelyn Osbert’s conversation with the men at the table heated up.

On one side of Evelyn Osbert were her sisters, on the other were two empty chairs, and beside them sat a well-dressed man. Evelyn Osbert looked at the man’s mobile phone, not knowing what he said to her.

In front of men, Evelyn Osbert has always been conscious of her image. Her buttocks were still firmly seated on a stool, and she only leaned slightly forward, placing a hand on the table for support and propping her chin on it, maintaining her body’s balance.
