Chapter 58 A Phone As A Gift
“If you don’t believe that the phone is authentic, you can confirm it at the phone store. Bran Corporation is one of the nation’s top phone providers and is licensed to sell them. How can these be counterfeits?” Alex responded.
While it made sense to Heather, she still went ahead and searched for the company’s official website.
Carmen turned the phone on. Although she liked it a lot, she did not comment and merely looked to
Heather and Lucas
She did not want it if it was a knockoff.
“Sis, you don’t have to search the website. You can tell that it’s authentic once you switch it on.” Lucas said.
Then, he looked at Alex with a smile and said, “Alex, thank you.”
For the first time in four years, this was the first time Lucas ever showed respect to him.
Carmen exclaimed excitedly, “Is this phone really worth twenty thousand?”
Her current phone model did not even cost up to two thousand.
“Yes, it is. Alex got lucky this time.” Heather gazed warmly at Alex. She was just as thrilled since her
current phone model was worth much less than the new one.
She was pleased with the fact that Alex did not sell the phones for cash but rather brought it home as a gift to all her family members.
Heather was happy that Alex thought of sharing such good things with her and her family.
“Alright, since you’re so filial, I will nag at you less from now onwards,” Carmen said. Right after that, she reached for her current phone to snap a picture of her new one and sent it to all her friends.
Then, she transferred her sim card to her new phone.
While Lucas followed suit, Heather tried to be more discreet with it.
“There is still food in the kitchen, you can reheat it for yourself,” Heather said.
“I’ve eaten. When I was out shopping for the gift, I bumped into a friend, so I had a meal with him,” Alex replied.
Smelling the alcohol from Alex’s breath, Heather nodded and asked, “Have you bought the gift? How much was it?”
Alex nodded. “I’ve gotten the gift, don’t worry. Granny will be very pleased with it once she sees it tomorrow.” He was sure of it since not many people in the family could afford such a prestigious art piece that was worth tens of thousands.
Despite having doubts about it, Heather acknowledged Alex’s reply and said nothing more.
When she thought about how Demi had never been satisfied with their presents, the notion of trying to get her grandmother the best present didn’t seem to matter as much anymore.
Ever since Heather’s father passed on, Demi ostracized her family and never cared about them.

For the rest of the night, no one spoke. The next day, Alex woke up early and quickly went to Stanley’s room to heal his internal injuries by practicing therapy.
After a few hours, his internal injuries healed substantially, and his skills had improved.
He felt rejuvenated.
Demi’s birthday banquet wasn’t until ten o’clock. With two hours to spare, he decided to make some breakfast.
It was around nine o’clock when the other three woke up.
After they finished their breakfast, they all hopped into Alex’s car and headed for Jennings Residence.
