She also mentioned that she received an expensive bracelet from John for her birthday, the one she was proudly wearing at that moment.
John smiled as well and told Mary that it was just a little prank his sister convinced him to pull on her, believing the guests would find it fun. He said the real gift will arrive later that night.
Mary was furious. She felt humiliated and wanted the night to be over as soon as possible, especially because of Lauren’s words and John’s inability to confront his sister for her lousy behavior.
In order not to make a scene, she placed the rag on the floor and acted as though nothing had happened.
Lauren on the other hand, kept asking everyone if they liked what her brother bought Mary and wouldn’t let go on the subject.
Moments later, Lauren, who was still laughing, slipped on the rug and fell on the ground, breaking her bracelet and ripping her dress.
Some of the guests started laughing, and Lauren decided to leave the party.
As she was getting to leave, the door bell rang.
Mary’s real present arrived. It was a diamond bracelet.
Karma really work in mysterious ways.
