"Good Lord, a golf club worth over 2 million? I've never even heard of such a thing! Chairman Lockwood really is the wealthiest man in Crestwood!"
"Chairman Lockwood giving such a prized possession to Mr. Samuel Nightshade must mean more than just congratulations, right? Could it be that the Lockwood Group and the Nightshade Group are planning a collaboration?"
"Samuel, can I take a picture with this club?"
Christopher looked at Susanna, clearly overwhelmed, "Even if Chairman Lockwood wanted to thank Xan, isn't this gift a bit too extravagant?"
Oliver chuckled. Indeed, it was quite lavish just to give it to Samuel, but if it was a move to court Xan, then it was perfectly justified.
"Xan, Samuel really owes you one today!" Samuel clutched the golf club lovingly, "A genuine work from Simon! I never even dared to dream of this."
Xanthea watched the priceless golf club, remembering the exorbitantly priced jewelry Orion had shown her on the plane. As always, he didn’t hold back when it came to spending.
The chatter and glances of everyone in the banquet hall were fixated on the golf club, including Xanthea.
Matthew awkwardly closed the watch box he held, which was unnoticed by anyone, his face souring.
Today was Samuel’s birthday, and he had splurged on this watch hoping to show the Nightshade family his sincerity toward Xan, only to have Orion steal the spotlight with a golf club!
He and Samuel weren’t close, and there were no business dealings between the Lockwood Group and the Nightshade family. Clearly, sending such a valuable golf club, he was aimed at Xan!
Orion was making moves. Just in case, Matthew needed to secure his engagement to Xan soon.
