Chapter 254 My Treat
Jared phoned Tommy and asked him to pick him up. He planned to give him the revitalizing pills he had just crafted, then reserve a table at Meadow Restaurant.
It did not take long for the latter to arrive, and they headed for Meadow Restaurant at once. When they were in Tommy’s office, Jared passed him the revitalizing pills and said, “There are twenty pills here. The amount you spent on the herbs is the cost. I won’t interfere in how you choose to sell them and their selling price. I’ll leave that up to you. If the response is good, we can proceed to increase the scale of production.”
Tommy took the pills and answered, “Got it. By the way, I’ve reserved Majestic Hall for you. It’s the best room here. Your guests will surely be impressed.”
Upon hearing his words, Jared shook his head. “There’s no need for that. Just a basic private room will do. We’re going to need money for many other things, so we should be more careful about our spending in the future.”
Tommy nodded and replied, “Okay. Got it.”
There was no familial affection between Jared and his uncle’s family. In fact, he harbored some hatred toward them.
Jared’s family used to live in the countryside. Following Gary’s gradual promotion at his workplace, they moved to the city. From then on, Jared’s uncle, Benedict Chance, who was also Gary’s younger brother, would visit them with his family whenever they needed help.
Later on, Gary helped Benedict and his family move to the city. He also found a job for Stella. However, they began to look down on Jared’s family as Benedict climbed up the ladder at his workplace.
Their contempt toward Gary’s family intensified after Jared was imprisoned and Gary lost his job. Benedict and the others never once visited them, ignoring them as if they were not blood relatives.
Part of the reason Hannah had told them they were staying in a mansion was that she wanted to brag and impress them.
At noon, Jared’s parents arrived with Benedict and his family.
