Jasper smiled and shook his head gently. “Old Master Law, don’t say that. The Laws are prosperous, and your descendants all have pretty good achievements. Henry and Anna’s abilities alone are already outstanding. As for me, I’m just lucky to have seized such a good opportunity and followed the trend.”
Old Master Law felt even more pleased with these humble words, and the smile on his face became brighter. At this time, he noticed that the woman beside Jasper today seemed to be a little unfamiliar.
Hence, he asked curiously, “Jasper, who’s this lady beside you?”
At this time, Celine stepped forward and introduced herself with a smile, “Hello, Old Master Law, I am Celine Maynard, and I am friends with Jill. I learned about your party while I was in Harbor City, so I came over to congratulate you.”
“Maynard? The Maynards in Southern United States?” Old Master Law asked with a smile.
“Yes, I‘m here with Jasper today to congratulate you on your birthday. It’s a small gift, and I hope you won’t dislike it.”
As she said that, she presented the bronze horse that she and Jasper bought at the antique market that day. As soon as she presented this birthday gift, several elderly people present, including Old Master Law, showed surprised expressions.
“M-Miss, can I take a look at this gift?” Mr. Boyle asked in surprise.
A hint of doubt flashed in Celine’s eyes. She was confused.
Wasn’t it just a cultural relic? Which of the old men present was not a billionaire?
Why were they looking like they had never seen anything like this after seeing this bronze horse?
“Of course, you can. Here it is!”
After Celine said that, she handed the bronze horse to Mr. Boyle.
