Female Novel
Chapter 667
In Sean’s opinion, he was convinced that there was nothing Charlie, the deadbeat moocher, could giveto Lord Moore that was comparable to Vermeer’s painting!
Thus, he concluded that he would win over Charlie big time and also become the winner in the gift-giving round who surprised the guests and impressed Lord Moore the most.
After all, in Sean’s view, Charlie was just a worthless loser who had chosen to marry into his wife’sfamily, it was impossible for him to come out with a decent gift, so no matter what his present was, itcouldn’t possibly be on par with the precious painting he had given Lord Moore!
Therefore, he sneered, “Grandpa Moore, I heard that Master Wade has been lingering in the feng shuifraud for some time now, he must have accumulated a significant fortune from all the scamming he did.I bet his birthday gift to you must be a precious treasure that is worth hundreds of millions, or maybeeven billions of dollars!”
Then, he turned his sneer at Charlie, “The painting I gave is only worth 400 million, I believe your giftmust be more expensive than mine!”
Lord Moore frowned at Sean’s sarcastic remark, his dissatisfaction toward the young man growing. Hethen said with a cold expression, “No matter what Master Wade gives to me, they are all pricelesstreasures!”
Sean was taken aback by the cold treatment and unfriendly tone.
What kind of magic potion had Charlie given to Lord Moore anyway? Why was he taking his side all thetime?!
Meanwhile, Charlie stood up and approached the stage since his name had been mentioned.novelbin
Everyone glued their eyes at him, wondering what kind of gift he would give.
However, he was not holding anything in his hands nor did it look like he was carrying anything insidehis pockets.
Did Charlie plan to play “empty-handed” with Lord Moore on such a glamorous occasion?!
Even if he wanted to give a painting, it was impossible to put it into his pocket no matter how tiny thepainting was!
Since Charlie was walking up empty-handed, most people assumed that he did not prepare a gift. Evenif he had, it was highly likely to be a worthless piece of shit and completely incomparable to theVermeer painting.
On the other hand, Lord Moore was sitting at the edge of his chair, his heart in his mouth.
He focused entirely on Charlie.
In truth, he was shaking in wonderment when he saw Charlie approach him empty-handed!
His biggest concern was seeing Charlie holding a gift box, a scroll, or some physical object to come tohim.
Because at a moment like this, he didn’t want anything except the Rejuvenating Pill!
Vermeer’s painting was indeed an awesome present, it truly catered to his preference as antiquity.
However, it was just his hobby.
When you were on the verge of dying, what was the use of putting all his favorite things in front of him?
He would rather exchange all of those things for a few more days to live.
Thus, Lord Moore was looking forward to Charlie giving him the Rejuvenating Pill! It could be regardedas his greatest expectation right now.
At this moment, Charlie had come to a stop in front of Lord Moore, calm and tranquil.
Before he could speak, Sean interjected mockingly, “Hey, Brother Wade, don’t you think you’re a littlebit too stingy? Today is Grandpa Moore’s 80th birthday, how could you attend his banquet empty-handed? The nerves you’ve got!”
Charlie smiled slightly and asked, “Who told you that I didn’t prepare any gift?”
“Where is your gift, then? Show us!”
Sean said contemptuously, “Did you simply buy something off the shelf and come? Open your eyesand look around, which of these gifts is worth ten million or below?”
