The person who delivered the gift had barely left when the Donovan Family swarmed over, using the jewelry as a pretext to praise Arabella Donovan.
"These two jewelry sets are gorgeous! Our Serena has grown up and is earning her own money now."
"That's right! Not only did she earn a set for herself, but she also got one for her sister. How amazing."
"I think these two sets look even better than the one Hector gave Serena before."
"Goes without saying, doesn't it? Even though it's the same brand, the set the owner gives to the person who saved his life has to be one of his prized possessions. If it were shabbier than something you could buy yourself, he wouldn't be making a friend, he'd be making an enemy."
Eloise Donovan held the jewelry box, suddenly remembering that in her rush to move out when Arabella Donovan returned, she had forgotten to prepare a welcome gift. Now her younger sister had given her a gift first. 'I've been such a neglectful older sister!'
