Back to My Worst Birthday and Starting Anew
Chapter 182 Rule Continues
“How is that possible? Look-”
Milo gestured towards the convoy of cars he had brought with him.
Behind them was a large truck.

“As I promised, I’ve brought you a total of 18 birthday gifts, covering this year and previous ones. They’re all here.”
At his words, around ten people stepped forward, each carrying a gift. They lined up, presenting everything from luxury bags and designer clothes to a large box of cash and a set of keys…
When it came to the last truck, the driver hopped out and expertly used a smart machine to unload a heavy–duty motorcycle. With every moment, the spectacle grew grander.
Hector, his eyes wide in amazement, couldn’t help but exclaim, “EncodeT!”
Jenny grabbed her son’s arm. “Son, what did you say?”
“That motorcycle–it’s a racing model, priced at two million!”
One birthday gift, and the motorcycle alone was worth 2 million dollars?!
Jenny gasped in shock.
This didn’t add up. Wasn’t it said that the Nelsons despised their biological daughter, who they had just found and wouldn’t even let come home, while still treating the adopted daughter as the family treasure?
Why did the reality seem so different from the rumors?
“What do you think? I carefully selected these gifts for you. Do you like them?” Milo asked.
Staring at the scene before her, Charmaine’s face remained impassive, showing almost no emotion.
If this had been the Charmaine of her past life, she likely would have been moved to tears by this grand gesture.
But too bad, life doesn’t work with “ifs.”
Reality was a bitter irony.
Seeing no response from Charmaine, no excitement or joy, Milo’s smile slowly faded.
Gradually, he clenched his fists, and his body began to tremble slightly.
He forced a bitter smile. “Are you thinking about that birthday party from not long ago?”
Charmaine replied flatly, “There’s no need to think about things that don’t concern me.”
Milo’s entire body shook.
His bitter smile grew even more sorrowful.

Their entire family had spent so much effort preparing for that grand birthday party, but there had been only one protagonist.
It had nothing to do with Charmaine at all.
Taking a deep breath, Milo said, “That’s okay. I never expected you to forgive me right away. Whether you forgive me or not, I’ll respect your decision.”
“These gifts are yours now. Whether you choose to keep them or not, that’s up to you. I’ll continue to send you daily necessities regardless.”
Milo then turned to the stern–faced Emyr.
“Mr. Emyr, even though Charmaine is staying at your house, she does have her own backing.”
Glancing meaningfully at Jenny and her son, he added, “If Charmaine experiences any injustice here, I won’t stand for it!”
Leaving the gifts, Milo led his entourage away.
Emyr’s face was stoic.
Jenny’s mind was reeling, and she tried to make another appeal. “Emyr, I…”
“Aunt Jenny,” Emyr interrupted, his sudden address tightening the knot in Jenny’s stomach.
“Remember, back when my parents were alive, you were rarely invited here. That rule will continue.”
His words revoked her privilege to freely enter the main household!
Jenny was in disbelief and tried to plead, but Emyr’s gaze, dark and knowing everything, pinned her to the
spot.
Hector, unwilling to give up, made one last bid, “Emyr, I’ve graduated. I can work at Cross Group just like Kane.”
“Kane started from the bottom and worked his way up. You want to join Cross Group?”
Emyr coldly replied, “Then go to Sunderland and train there for three years.”
“…!”
Three years at Sunderland?
He wouldn’t survive!
“I changed my mind, Emyr. I won’t go!”
All Hector wanted now was to go home!
Emyr’s lips curled in a colder sneer. “One more thing.”
Both Jenny and Hector felt a chill down their spines. “What?”
“Apologize to Charmaine.”

Jenny couldn’t believe her ears. “Why should we apologize to Charmaine?”
