"I'll swap it out with my old laptop tomorrow," said Harold.
He was pleased with how thoughtful Yvonne was and thought, "With such a thoughtful daughter like you,
Yvonne, | won't have to worry so much. I'll have more tand energy to focus on work."
To him, Yvonne was more suitable than Yolanda to take over the family business from him in the future, even if
Yvonne had displayed sscheming qualities in her personality that he didn't like recently. If she could use
these abilities to run the company, that would serve to be a plus point for her.
Yvonne's gift had made the other gifts pale in comparison.
After that, Harold opened the gifts from Winnie and Yolanda. He was happy, but he didn't react much.
Yolanda didn't really care since she didn't put much effort into picking out a gift for Harold anyway. She merely
deduced from the original Yolanda's personality and actions as to what she would do and bought a tie for Harold
as a gift.

"A bumpkin will forever be a bumpkin for sure. Even the gifts you give are so shabby." Paul, however, wouldn't
forgo any chance to mock Yolanda.
"That's enough. Today's your Uncle Harold's birthday. Stop that." Alice might be saying that on the surface, but
her smug expression suggested that she meant otherwise.
Harold's face darkened, but he still remained silent.
"Eat up, everyone. The food won't taste as good if it's cold."
At that moment, Yvonne chimed in to pacify the situation with much faux thoughtfulness. "Paul, Yolanda had put
a lot of effort into picking out a gift, but having bad taste isn't her fault. If you comment on her like this, it'll hurt
her feelings."
"Hah! | couldn't care less if her feelings are hurt or not. Trash will still be trash." "Okay everyone, let's try the
soup."
Diana was suddenly reminded of the gift that Eleanor had delivered to her this morning.
"My sister knew that today's Harold's birthday, so she sent over a goldenseal as a gift. I've gotten the helper to
incorporate the goldenseal into the chicken soup today. Con, everyone, let's try the soup to warm our
bellies."
Once Diana was done, she asked for the helpers to serve individual servings of the chicken soup to everyone
present.
The Hendersons had a very skillful helper who could cook well. She added thyme, rosemary, and parsley to the
soup to enhance the flavors, which made it delectable in smell and appearance.
"This soup looks pretty good." Even Alice, who was usually picky, couldn't help but praise the soup.
"Goldenseals are so nutritious! But we have these things too in our home. Next time, I'll bring you some. My
future daughter-in-law has been sendingall kinds of medicinal herbs. She's really spoiling me!"
Alice was so smug she couldn't hide it in her tone. Other than feasting for free today, her intention of attending
Harold's birthday dinner was also to brag to them.
Paul had recently gotten a girlfriend. Her nwas Skylar Sheriden, and she was the daughter of Sheriden
Corporation in the logistics industry.
The Sheriden Corporation might not be as prestigious as companies owned by elite families in Riverdale, but
they were still ahead of small companies like Henderson Group. Their yearly profit was at least millions more
than what Henderson Group could make.
Since Paul had gotten together with his girlfriend, Alice, and Joe had been bragging about this to everyone. They
had already bragged about it to other relatives of the Henderson family, and now it was Harold's family's turn.
They took the opportunity of Harold's birthday to brag about how Paul had found an excellent girlfriend.
"Future daughter-in-law?" Diana's eye twitched as a sense of foreboding loomed in her heart.
As she had expected, Alice continued, "My future daughter-in-law is Skylar, the princess of Sheriden Corporation.
Not only is she beautiful, but she has amazing grades as well. She is also studying at the number one university
in Riverdale with scholarships every year.
"She's so capable. She will be the one to take over Sheriden Corporation in the future for sure."
The more Diana heard what Alice had to say, the more puzzled she was.
Even though Sheriden Corporation was a famous company, Skylar, as the princess of the Sheriden Group, could
only study locally in Riverdale. How could she still be praised as intelligent and having good grades? Was that a
joke?
If people like that could take over their family business, Yolanda didn't seem much like a useless piece of trash
anymore.
