However, Donald never expected reality to be so cruel even though he had already planned everything perfectly.Anthony had directly rejected Donald’s proposal without any hesitation whatsoever. Besides that, he even said that his youngest son could only blame himself for the predicament that he was in. This made him very angry.After getting into the car, Donald continued cursing as he said, “Anthony, that old dog! He really does not know what’s good for himself! I would have taken his life if I did not have to worry about getting into a lot of trouble!”On the contrary, Sean was secretly feeling very happy.He had initially been very worried that Anthony would truly be able to cure his younger brother.Unexpectedly, after visiting his clinic, Anthony had actually completely refused to treat his younger brother. As a result, Sean would not have to worry about having a strong competitor on his path to inheriting the Webb family fortune.However, he could not publicly display his f
When Donald saw that Sean had already begun to take action, he nodded in satisfaction as he praised him, “Good job, Sean! You have already learned to observe the fine details so that you can take advantage of the situation to advance forward!”Sean smiled before he said, “Dad, I have already been following you around for so long, thus, I have learned and picked up some of your skills. However, I still have a lot to learn from you as I am still far behind you.”“No,” Donald said seriously, “It is good enough that you noticed that Jasmine’s bracelet is relatively old and worthless. That is already a very big improvement. Moreover, you even took the initiative to buy her a nicer and more expensive bracelet. That proves that you are already learning to take action because you are much more mature and stable now! That is not bad at all. You did very well!”Sean was overjoyed when his father praised him. When he saw Cain looking at him with a desperate expression on his face, Cain smiled
Sean felt a little sullen in his heart. Both he and his father were standing in front of Jasmine right now. Yet, unexpectedly, Jasmine had actually said that there was an even more important guest compared to them. Who else in Aurous Hill could be more important than his father and himself?In other words, who else in Aurous Hill could possibly have even greater status or power compared to the Webb family?Even though he was feeling a little upset, Kian continued speaking in a very gentlemanly manner as he said, “By the way, Jasmine, I’ve specially prepared a gift for you. I am not sure whether you will like it or not.”Jasmine frowned before she said, “Mr. Webb, you should keep the gift. I do not need anything, and I do not want you to spend so much on me. Besides, I simply cannot accept your gift for no reason at all.”At this time, Sean hurriedly took out the gift box Cain had given to him before he said earnestly, “Jasmine, why are you being so polite with me? In fact, I notice
Sean truly felt like dying at this very moment.He would never have dreamt that the broken bracelet on Jasmine’s wrist would turn out to be a relic left behind by her mother…Moreover, he had even said that the relic left behind by her mother was nothing more than a piece of garbage…This was a complete disaster!Jasmine was already originally cold and indifferent toward him. Therefore, he was initially planning to rely on this bracelet to earn himself some points.Unexpectedly, he had only dug his own grave…This time, his score in Jasmine’s mind had probably been reduced to a negative score.At this time, Donald, who had been standing not too far away, could not help but feel a little puzzled as he stared at his son who was left standing all alone in a daze.Didn’t his son go over to give Jasmine the gift just now?Jasmine must have been very happy to receive such an expensive gift.If so, why did Jasmine drive away in such haste?As he had some doubts in his heart, Donald
Claire came out of the bedroom as she stretched her waist and asked Charlie, “Do you have something on today?”Charlie replied, “I am going to attend a friend’s birthday party later at noon.”After that, Charlie asked Claire, “Wife, did you need something?”Claire nodded slightly before she said, “Yes, I wanted to do some shopping, but if you’re busy, you can go ahead and do your own thing! I will ask Loreen to accompany me.”Charlie replied, “Sorry, my dear wife. You can go shopping with Loreen today. I will accompany you some other day.”Claire smiled slightly as she said, “Okay, then.”Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine, had a very black face as she said, “Oh, Charlie, are you going to attend your friend’s birthday party? Is he old?”Charlie nodded as he said, “Yes, he is eighty years old.”Elaine sneered before she said, “Are you trying to use your set of silly skills to try and fool those old men so that you can cheat them out of all their money?”Charlie simply replied, “I
Charlie truly felt like laughing when he saw Elaine’s performance.He knew that Elaine was really short of money right now. She usually spent a lot of money all by herself, but she had to be very sad now that all of her money was completely exhausted.Now, Elaine felt even more depressed when she saw that Jacob was going to The Heaven Springs for dinner tonight.Sure enough, Elaine said to Jacob, “No! I want you to give me the twenty thousand dollars you are going to spend on dinner tonight!”“Why should I do that?” Jacob was also very anxious and he blurted out, “Elaine, I am warning you not to go too far! All of our family’s savings are already in your hands. Even if you do not want to give it to me, it’s fine. Yet, you are still trying to ask me to give you my own money?”Elaine had a guilty conscience, but she continued speaking stubbornly, “Can’t you just go to a cheaper place for dinner tonight? You can just spend ten thousand dollars on dinner and give me the other ten thou
After that, Claire looked at Elaine before she said, “Mom, can you stop making things difficult for dad already? He does not usually spend much money anyway. Why are you confronting him now that he simply wants to treat some of his friends to dinner?”Elaine said, “I am simply trying to save some money for the family! Are we the kind of family who should be spending twenty thousand dollars just for a meal?”After that, Elaine glared at Jacob before she said, “No matter what it is, you will have to give me the money today, whether you want to or not!”In truth, Claire already knew what her mother was up to.She knew that her mother was just a very materialistic person who was mad about money. If her father refused to give her mother the money today, it would be impossible for him to leave the house.At this time, Claire quickly cut in. “Mom, stop making things difficult for dad. You want ten thousand dollars, right? I will give it to you.”“Okay!” Elaine replied in excitement, “Th
When Charlie saw how persistent Claire was, he nodded as he said, “Alright then, wife. Thank you for your hard work. I will leave now.”“Alright, go!” Claire then quickly asked, “Since you are attending a friend’s birthday banquet, did you prepare a present for him?”Charlie hummed before he said, “Yes, I’ve prepared a gift for him already.”Claire hurriedly asked, “What gift did you prepare for him? Make sure that it is not too petty or cheap, otherwise, he might feel a little dissatisfied!”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “I have already prepared something that I made myself for him. It is not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it that matters anyway. After all, my friend does not really care that much about money. Therefore, I believe he will definitely love my gift.”“That’s great!” Claire nodded before she smiled and said, “If that is the case, you should leave now!”“Okay.”At this time, Charlie got up before he put on an ordinary coat. After that, he bid
