Chapter 597
Kelly had prepared gifts for the Collins family. She asked Brenda for advice on what to buy.
"It's alright. Whether the 'gifts are expensive or not, it's the thought that counts," Brenda helped Kelly choose a few gifts that were not high in value but very thoughtful.
Finally, everything was ready, and Kelly changed into a lady-like dress. Looking at her sweet and docile appearance in the mirror, she almost could not recognize herself. She did not expect that one day, she would dress up as a conservative lady.
Upon arriving at the Collins family's old residence, as soon as they got out of the car, Brenda covered her chest and said, "It hurts."
"Are you having a heart attack?" Seth and Nina panicked. "Quick, let's go to the hospital."
Brenda took a deep breath and stopped them. "I'm fine. It's just a mild attack, as usual. Don't worry about me. Get the driver to send me to the hospital. You guys take Kelly to see Grandpa."
"How can we do that?" Nina disagreed. How could they leave her alone?
Seth, remaining calm and rational, spoke up. "Okay. Here's what we'll do. I'll take Kelly to see Dad. Brenda, you and your mom can go to the hospital."
After everything was arranged, Seth was still distracted with worry for Brenda. Kelly was also concerned about her sister, so she suggested, "Dad, how about we go to the hospital?"
"No." Seth frowned. He looked worried but spoke with determination. "Your grandfather and the others have been waiting for a long time. We have to meet them. Go in first, and I'll call your mother to ask about the situation."
The Collins family's old residence was quite large. After Seth left a moment, Kelly was left alone. Fortunately, servants guided her, leading the way. Otherwise, she would not know where to go. She was already nervous about facing Mr. Collins and the others, and now that she was alone, she became even more flustered.
She was walking slowly, intending to wait for Seth to catch up, but then a beautiful girl rushed toward her from behind.
"Excuse me... excuse me," the girl said impatiently. "You're in the way!"
After saying that, she tried to push Kelly but looked up and saw Kelly's beautiful face.
The girl's expression momentarily changed, and she squinted her eyes. Her tone remained unchanged. "Are you the new helper?"
"Miss Penelope, this is Miss Kelly from Seth's family," the helper introduced.
"Oh." Penelope realized. "So you're the daughter of Uncle Seth, who has just returned, and I heard you're an upcoming star?"
Penelope's words were not very friendly, and Kelly did not respond.
Seeing her silence, Penelope pursed her lips and said, "Low emotional intelligence, can't even speak."
Penelope's gaze shifted to the gift bag in Kelly's hand, and she raised an eyebrow, asking, "Is that for Grandpa?"
Kelly nodded. The helpers had already/brought in the other gifts. This tie was for Grandpa, so she carried it herself.
"A niche tie?" Penelope glanced at it and sneered. "Please don't look like a cheesy sandwich. Can you not be so petty? Grandpa's ties are all from Bosman. Don't take out such an unpresentable gifi." She then displayed the jade Buddha in her hand. "Do you see this? It's a jade Buddha worth three hundred thousand dollars. Only such a gift can be presented to Grandpa. Don't blame me for not warning you. The Collins clan is a huge family, and if you present this gift, you'll definitely be ridiculed."
After saying that, Penelope ignored Kelly and walked forward quickly.
Kelly lowered her head to look at the tie in the bag. It was Brenda who had helped her pick it, and indeed, it was not costly, priced at just over four hundred dollars. Kelly squinted her eyes, suddenly feeling that something was a bit strange.
She was here to acknowledge her family members, but as soon as they reached the entrance of their house, Brenda had a heart attack. Seth and Nina had left. Did they do it on purpose? Deliberately wanting her to make a fool of herself.
Kelly was not a naive girl. She had to think more deeply. However, these were just her speculations, and she would have to wait and see what happened when she met Dylan and the others. In any case, no one could bully her.
