Chapter 851 What Have You Gotten For My Dad
Declan Roger was glad to hear Jarelle boast about his family background, but he still had a polite and reserved smile on hisface.
He smiled, "Sir, | know that it's your birthday today, so I'd specially brought you a present. | hope you'll like it."
Jedediah Zinke saw how formally dressed Roger was, and also considering the fact that he was an aristocrat, still being a politekid, he smiled at Roger, "Ah, you sure are a thoughtful child.”
Declan Roger turned over and waved towards a waiter.Instantly, a waiter in a black suit carried a tray over.On the tray was the present. It was covered in a small piece of golden satin.
The Zinkes as well as many of the guests at the scene were curious about what kind of present was lying beneath the piece ofgolden satin.
Declan lifted the piece of golden satin with his own hands, unveiling a piece of shining gold in the form of a pig.Agolden pig!
By the looks of it, it must have weighed at least ten pounds.
Agolden pig this heavy must have been worth a lot.
Jedediah had his eyes fall wide, at the sight of the golden pig, while Jarelle eyes started to sparkle. The guests around could nothelp, but let out gasps of amazement.
Declan Roger proudly declared, "Sir, the pig is your Zodiac animal."
"| have had this golden pig specially forged for you at Dayan Zwaine's jewelry shop. It is made of five kilograms of 24-karat gold,and it costs three million. | hope you like it."
Three million!
Everyone at the scene was utterly bewildered. Everyone was whispering to one another about how Sir Zinke's future son-in-lawmust be rolling in dough.
Jedediah grinned with glee and nodded a few times, "Well, | don't know what to say, Declan. You are so thoughiful, kid."Declan heard Jedediah's compliment and smiled, "It's just a small gift from me. As long as you like it, | am happy."Jedediah was still wearing the joyful grin on his face, "Yes, | do like your gift a lot."
Indeed, money never failed to bring a smile to anyone's face.
Who wouldn't like a 24-karat golden pig for their birthday present?
Jarelle was overjoyed to see her dad liking her boyfriend's present so much. It had brought her glory, making her proud of herboyfriend.
While she was indulging in her little moment of joy, she accidentally caught sight of Nathan, on the sidelines. Immediately, herface darkened slightly. She deliberately asked him, "Hey Nathan, what have you gotten for my dad?"
"You can't possibly come to my dad's birthday empty-handed right?
“If you were any other guest, it wouldn't matter whether you had brought a gift or not, but you're not just any guest. In fact, youwere my dad's most treasured student back then, and he had taken great care of you. He'd even taken you under our roof if mymemory hasn't failed me."
“Regardless of how badly you have been doing in life right now, after such a long while, shouldn't you have brought something atleast?”
