Leonard’s smile vanished immediately.
“It’s not for my son? Mr. Wills, aren’t you here to attend my son’s wedding?” Leonard asked, looking a little embarrassed.
Dustin smiled and said, “Of course I’m here for the wedding, I’ve prepared a monetary gift for your son, and I’ve already given it to the reception staff.” Mr. Collins, if you don’t believe me, you may check with them.”
Leonard hurriedly said, “Mr. Wills, you must be joking. Why would I be fixated on the gift? It’s a great honor for me that you’re willing to attend the wedding. You’ve even brought a gift. You’re too formal, Mr. Wills!”
Leonard knew that Dustin was very affluent and would give at least 15,000 dollars as a gift.
Hence, Leonard hurriedly called Tyler and Hailey to come over. “Tyler, Hailey, come here and meet Mr. Wills.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wills. I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re my idol!”
Tyler walked over and gave Dustin a handshake with both hands as he continuously tried to suck up to him.
Although the Collins were a powerful family, they were still a notch below those tycoons who would be included in the list of wealthiest families in the country each year.
“Oh, hello,” Dustin said somewhat perfunctorily with indifference.
Hailey was overjoyed, too, because she didn’t expect the Collins to have connections with such a wealthy man. Thus, she bowed to him and shook his hand with both hands too.
“Hello, Mr. Wills, I’m Hailey Camden. I’m so glad to meet you. I hope to have the opportunity to learn from you.”
Dustin glanced at Hailey and was a little surprised by how beautiful she was. Still, he simply nodded without saying anything further.
The eagle-eyed Tyler immediately noticed the gift box in Dustin’s hand and said, “Mr. Wills, is that a box of cigars you’re holding?”
Surprised to hear his answer, Dustin said, “Wow, Mr. Collins, you’ve got great eyesight. This is indeed a box of cigars.”
Tyler was curious to know what brand of cigar a bigwig like Dustin would give as a gift. Hence, he asked, “What brand of cigar is that, Mr. Wills?”
Dustin said, “It seems to be a brand called Gurkha, but I’m not sure either because my subordinate was the one who prepared it. Haha, pardon me.”
Tyler and Hailey were both shocked. “Gurkha Royal Courtesan Cigar? That’s the most expensive brand of cigar that costs $1.4 million a stick!”
The guests were just as taken aback by the staggering price of the cigar.
That was enough money to buy a load of cigars from other less expensive brands!
Dustin laughed and said, “It costs a little less than that, but you’re close. Haha. Mr. Collins and the newlyweds, please excuse me.”
Dustin walked towards the table where Jordan and Victoria were seated, with the cigar box in hand.
“Hello, Mr. Steele, Miss Clarke.”
Dustin walked over and handed the cigar box to Jordan as he exclaimed, “Happy birthday, Mr. Steele!”
Everyone was stunned to see Dustin give that million-dollar cigar to Jordan!
Dustin had at most given the newlyweds a gift of 20 to 30 grand. Yet, he gave Jordan such an exorbitant gift that cost far beyond tens of grands!
That just goes to show that Dustin wasn’t really there for the wedding but for Jordan!
Jordan took the box, got up, and gave Dustin a handshake. He said with a smile, “Mr. Wills, you’re too kind. We’re already business partners. You didn’t have to go through such an expense.”
Ace Corporation was now cooperating with Electron E-commerce, and it wasn’t Jordan’s first meeting with Dustin.
Watching Jordan and Dustin laughing and chatting with each other, Tyler felt like he had been slapped hard on the face.
The fact that Dustin would be so polite to Jordan, let alone give him such an expensive gift, would make no sense if Jordan was pretending to be the president of Ace Corporation.
Hailey was stunned too. “How is that possible…”
