"Morgan Clark of the Clark family wishes Elder Madam to be long-lived. Here, I would present her a forty-carat emerald ring!"
"Best Wishes for Elder Madam from Diego Hall, President of the V-Sparks Group. Here, I would present her a well-known medieval painting!"
"Chief Manager of the Foresea Group wishes Elder Madam a prosperous and healthy life. Here, I would present her a Gilded Plaque!"
Today was the sixtieth birthday of Kiara Brown, the Elder Madam of the Clark family. Elder Madam had been in control of the family business ever since her husband was seriously ill.
Those who came to her birthday today were the renowned people in Y City.
The guests became envious when they saw the valuable gifts for Elder Madam. The total value of these gifts must have exceeded 5 million.
But the following voice threw the guests into confusion.
"Jackson Owen, the son-in-law of the Clark family, wishes Elder Madam extraordinary prosperity. Here, I would present her a Bronze Pot!"
After his words came out, the guests looked at each other first and then all burst into despising laughter.
"Is this Jackson Own the good-for-nothing who became the son-in-law of the Clark family three years ago?"
"That's him. I really don't understand what Elder Madam's husband was thinking. Although Dolcie Clark's father is mediocre, Dolcie is still a daughter of the Clark family. How come they betrothed her to a nobody."
"In the past three years, Elder Madam has never allowed him to step into the Clark family, which really shows her dissatisfaction with this guy. Today is Elder Madam's birthday, but he just gave her a broken Bronze Pot as present. What a shameless man."
Dolcie Clark was an extremely gorgeous woman. Her figure was as curvaceous as a supermodel; her lingering charm with the bright eyes on her stunning face was quite impressive.
But at this moment, her beautiful face darkened in anger.
She dragged Jackson to the corner.
"My... Dolcie, what's the matter with you?" Jackson asked confusedly.
Dolcie answered angrily, "What's wrong? What about the gift I bought you for fifty thousand?"
Jackson pointed to the Bronze Pot placed on the red table, and said innocently, "Here, that's it."
"Fifty thousand, and you just bought a piece of broken garbage back? Today is grandma's birthday. How can you do this?"
After saying this, Dolcie almost cried. For three years, this useless man had done nothing, only stayed at home as a househusband. His culinary skill was good, but that was pointless.
A real man must be able to do something tremendous and achieve fame and fortune. That's a real man.
But look at Jackson! He was always so lazy, making people angry.
Take today's case, fifty thousand was not a large sum, but it was enough to buy a decent gift. However, he bought a piece of broken garbage, which was really disgraceful to give Elder Madam.
"Dolcie, this bronze pot looks terrible. But it is a genuine antique, an over-two-thousand-year-old bronze pot, definitely worth more than 50 million."
"Yeah, 50 million? Don't tell me you bought it from the Antique Street." Morgan Clarkson walked over with a playful smile.
Morgan Clarkson was the most favored grandson of Elder Madam. Normally speaking, Morgan would be the future leader of the Clark family.
Jackson glanced at Morgan coldly and said honestly, "It was indeed bought from the Antique Street."
The guests present burst into laughter when they heard his words.
"Everyone knows that almost all the antiques sold on that street are counterfeit. At least pick one that looks decent. See what I prepared for grandma!"
