Chapter 476 No Right To Touch It
Stuart said mockingly, “Don’t you try me. I can buy you any car that is on display here today, except for this one which has been purchased in advance by somebody else. There isn’t one car here that I can’t afford. In fact, I plan to buy one for your wife.”
After poking fun at Alex, Stuart turned to Heather. “I value our collaboration, Heather, and I’d like to present you something as a token of appreciation. You can choose any car on display except for the one in the middle. It’s about time you replace your second–hand car. I think one with strong horsepower suits you. If you like the RS series, I’ll get you a premium RS8, which is only two million.”
Stuart did not intend to woo Heather but he thought that it was worth spending a few million in order to get to know the chairman of Four Seas Corporation through her.
“Ms. Jennings, won’t you accept the token of appreciation from Mr. Nixon?” Ally knew what Stuart had in mind, so she quickly persuaded Heather to say yes.
As a matter of fact, the idea was originally proposed by her. Stuart thought that it was a good tactic and went along with it.
Heather shook her head and declined, “Thank you, Mr. Nixon for your generosity but I cannot accept such an expensive gift.”
“Two million isn’t much at all; I can pay for it in cash right now as long as you like it,” Stuart blew his own trumpet proudly.
Indeed, two million meant nothing to him.
Alex stared at Stuart. How rude is this guy to talk about buying my wife a present in my presence?
He scoffed, “My wife has her own car, and she doesn’t need any gift from you. Furthermore, it’s not in your place to do so.”
With an arrogant contempt, Stuart responded, “It’s not that I look down on you, Alex. The truth is, you can’t even afford the spare parts, let alone buy one of these cars.”
Ally joined in the fun and jeered at him, “Well, that’s why some people can only drive a second–hand car. That’s right, I’m talking about you, loser!”
Alex looked away from
and fixed his gaze back on Stuart, then he pointed at the Bugatti. “Heather, what do you say if I buy you this Bugatti which he can’t afford?”
“Come on, Alex. I don’t understand why you’re so pretentious. Everyone knows that you’re just a live–in son–in–law cum driver.”
“Do you know how much does it cost? It’s forty million. Do you have any slightest idea how much that is?” Stuart found Alex’s ignorance amusing.
“Even if you starve yourself every month and save up a hundred thousand of your salary, do you know how many years must you wait until you get forty million?”
Stuart thought that Alex was being ridiculous for he could not imagine how a poor driver like him could buy a forty–million luxury car for someone else as a present.
He was not angry but found it utterly unbelievable to the point that it was humorous.

“Ms. Jennings, your husband is really funny. He just joked about buying you a forty–million car. That’s amazing!” Ally heckled.
Heather was extremely upset at Alex for being intentionally ostentatious.
