Chapter 143

Elaine was extremely excited.

All of those gifts were money to her!

She did not know how much those antique vases cost but she knew that each bottle of Moutai FlyingFairy liquor was worth at least thirty to forty thousand dollars! Moreover, there were twenty bottles ofliquor in this box. This meant that this box of liquor was worth a few hundred thousand dollars!

There was also a box of Yellow Crane Tower cigars. The cigars cost five thousand dollars each andthere were fifty cigars in the box! That would mean that the box of cigars was worth more than twohundred thousand dollars! Just the liquor and cigars were already worth at least one million dollars!

Why shouldn’t she accept it?

Moreover, if she had the VIP card from Treasure Pavilion, she would be able to show off in front of herfriends!

When Claire saw how obsessive and materialistic her mother was, she called out in a reluctant manner,“Mom…”

Elaine glared at her before she replied, “What’s wrong? Are you going to say that I shouldn’t acceptthese gifts?”

At this time, Claire replied, “I mean, we should not accept these gifts just like that. After all, we don’tknow what is going on. So, how can we accept these expensive gifts just like that?”

Charlie quickly responded, “Since it is an apology gift, we should accept it.”novelbin

The middle-aged man was finally relieved.

Before he came here, his boss had told him that he no longer needed to go back to work if Charlierefused to accept the gifts.

When Charlie turned around, he saw that Elaine had already moved the box of liquor and cigars intothe house. At this time, Elaine was holding the pair of antique vases in her hand as she was observingit under the lamp. Charlie could only shake his head as he told the middle-aged man, “Thank you forsending the gifts over. You can leave first.”

“Alright then, Mr. Wade. I will not bother you anymore.”

After that, Charlie closed the door before he turned around to walk into this house. He was taken abackat this time. “Why are you guys staring at me?”

At this time, all three of the people in the living room had their eyes fixed on him.

Elaine gave a dry cough before she smirked and asked, “Charlie, since when did you become friendswith the owner of Treasure Pavilion? Why did they bring gifts and came all the way to our house just toapologize to you?”

Charlie shook his head before he replied, “Mom, I think there’s some misunderstanding here. I’m notfriends with the owner of Treasure Pavilion. I think the reason they have come all the way here toapologize today is simply because they provide very good customer service. Since their employeeshave made a mistake, I guess the boss simply wants to apologize and compensate us to protect thereputation of Treasure Pavilion…”

Elaine suddenly scowled as she replied in a frustrated manner, “Well, I actually thought you hadbecome a decent man overnight. I thought that you had become friends with someone with goodconnections. In the end, it turns out that their good customer service is the only reason we’re receivingall these gifts…”

However, Claire was still a little puzzled at this time. Even if Treasure Pavilion had very good customerservice, why would the other party give them such an expensive gift as compensation?

At this time, Elaine was in a very good mood after receiving a lot of gifts. Therefore, she finally stoppedattacking Charlie and she was thinking of how much money she could make by selling off the liquorand cigars.

After they were done with dinner, Charlie was doing the dishes in the kitchen when he suddenlyreceived a phone call.

The phone call was from Graham, the man whom Charlie had helped not too long ago.

In fact, Graham was the one who had given him the jade bracelet.

On the other end of the line, Graham greeted him in a respectful manner, “Mr. Wade!”

Charlie replied, “Yes? Is there something I can help you with?”

At this time, Graham quickly replied, “I really want to thank you for your advice the last time I saw you.Thanks to you, the Quinton family seems to be in a better condition nowadays. I really want to thankyou for your guidance. Otherwise, the Quinton family would have been completely destroyed.”

Charlie smiled before he asked, “I think that things aren’t going that smoothly now, am I right?Otherwise, you wouldn’t be calling me at this hour.”

Graham choked before he replied in an awkward manner, “Mr. Wade you really know everything. I can’tseem to hide anything from you at all.”

Charlie continued smiling without saying a single word.

Sure enough, Graham stuttered as he continued speaking, “Mr. Wade, I would like to ask you to savethe Quinton family again. I know we owe you a lot and the Quinton family will never forget what youhave done for us.”
