Chapter 267
Chapter 267
All these relatives and friends were stunned. They were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws. It really turned out to be a gift from the decadent young man in front of them!!
They shared the same thought, "It's worth more than five million dollars. How could he give it away just like this?"
The point was that Master Lowe had almost given it to the child as a toy just now.
Zelda saw the golden card in Quincy's hand and froze. She was invited to the banquet last time. How could she not recognize this card?
But she knew that she was not qualified to own this card.
However, she was surprised that Chuck had such a valuable card and he would give it to others as a gift.
Quincy's mouth was so wide opened that an egg could probably fit it. She was baffled. Didn't Chuck go bankrupt?
"You don't like it, Uncle?" Chuck asked, oblivious to their shock.
It didn't matter. If the man didn't like it, Chuck could just take it back. Anyway, his mother's hotel was often fully booked every day. Whether it was an ordinary room or a presidential suite, it was all the same.
"No, no, I like it, I like it." After Quincy's father was shocked, he recovered quickly and nodded repeatedly.
"Grandpa, if you liked it, why did you give it to me as a toy?" The little boy asked.
His father quickly covered his mouth and apologized awkwardly again...
Quincy's father's face was suddenly blood red.
Quincy was embarrassed as well and whispered softly, "Dad, what have you done? It is such a valuable item..."
"How would I know?" Her father shook his head and sighed.
Chuck was stunned to hear that. He looked at Quincy's father a few more times and said with a faint smile, "Uncle doesn't seem to like it very much!"
"No, I've made a mistake just now," Quincy's father shook his head.
"Yeah, it was a mistake. How could my father possibly not like such a valuable gift?" Quincy also said in a hurry.
She took a few more glances at Chuck and found him more pleasing to the eye. It turned out that Chuck hadn't gone bankrupt, but did he appear so decadent?
"Alright, as long as you like it." Chuck didn't bother to be persistent on this matter. Since this card had been given out, it was not good for him to take it back. It would only make things difficult for Zelda.
However, if it was someone else who was behaving like this, Chuck would not be as polite.
Quincy's father breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you. You've gifted me such a valuable gift."
"You're welcome, it's what I ought to do. Zelda has brought me to your birthday celebration, hence it's only fitting that I prepare a gift that Uncle would like," Chuck said.
Everyone was surprised. They figured out that Chuck meant to say that without Zelda, he would never come here and it would be impossible of him to send such a gift.
Quincy and her father felt a little embarrassed, but he still felt glorious. Such an expensive card like this would benefit his business.
Quincy was excited as she could stay in the presidential suite every day now.
Nevertheless, the other relatives who had looked down on Chuck became envious of Zelda to have found such a boyfriend.
Zelda was also embarrassed. She cast gaze at Chuck.
"Come everyone, let's take a seat. The food is ready to be served," Quincy's father suddenly said.
All the guests went into the house. Quincy's father muttered, "Ask Zelda if her boyfriend has any brothers. You can also go and find such a person as your boyfriend, I have no objections."
"Dad, even if Chuck has a brother, the brother is wealthy as well. Why would he consider someone like me?" Quincy shook her head. She had a stunning body, but there were still some differences between her and Zelda. It wasn't just about her figure but her appearance and temperament were no match either.
Her father sighed. Indeed, with three billion assets, their family was really not at the same level as Chuck's. It could be said that they are unworthy.
After the meal, the party was coming to an end. When they were eating, many of the guests came to have a toast with Chuck. Chuck could only refuse politely as he wasn't in the mood to drink.
When they walked out of the house, Quincy sent them off.
She drove the car to send Chuck and Zelda home.
Everyone also came out to see him off.
"Master Lowe, did you ask him what business he is involved in?" A relative asked.
"He didn't say anything, but my daughter asked him just now. I think he owns a plaza..." Quincy's father replied.
"A plaza? What plaza?" Everyone was curious.
Quincy's father answered, "City Square Plaza."
Upon hearing this, the relative was confused, "Hey, isn't City Square Plaza Mr. Wendell's? How come..."
"Chuck has bought it over," Quincy's father replied plainly.
Another relative gasped, "What? He has bought the plaza? This background of his... wow. No wonder he has a gold card. Master Lowe, you've gained so much glory. This gold card is awesome."
Quincy's father felt smug as he thought to himself, "Indeed, he gave it to me as my birthday present!"
......
Quincy sent Chuck and Zelda back to their building. Quincy muttered, "Chuck, I'm sorry about my father's behavior today..."
"It's alright. As long as he's happy," Chuck waved it off casually. It did not matter to him at all as it was in the past.
Quincy was relieved, "No matter what, thank you. My father is very happy today."
Chuck nodded and got out of the car, Quincy then tugged at Zelda who was about to exit the car too. She asked, "Does he have any brothers?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"I don't think he has one. Why do you ask?" Zelda was confused. Since Chuck had not mentioned it, that meant he didn't have one.
"Nothing, nothing," Quincy blushed.
Zelda got out of the car with a smile. Quincy stared at Chuck for a few more times and reluctantly drove away.
"How are you feeling now?" Zelda asked with concern. When she saw that Chuck was a little more relaxed, she felt slightly relieved.
"Fine, thank you," Chuck replied. The missing Yvette still occupied Chuck's heart. However, it indeed felt better to go out and take his mind off for a bit.
It was just that Yvette was still missing!
After that, they took the elevator upstairs. Chuck had actually wanted to go back to Yvette's place, but Susan still lived there, so it was not convenient for him to go there by himself.
He could only stay in his own house. Fortunately, Auntie Logan was still there these few days.
When the elevator arrived on the floor, Zelda bit her lip and said, "Chuck, would you like to come into my house?"
Hearing this, Chuck turned his head and was stunned.
......
In a room, Yvette was locked up. She curled up her body, trembling in the corner. She was tired and hungry, but she couldn't get out.
There was a person who came to beat her up every day, and it was some fierce beating. She only had one weapon with her, a dagger.
She had been tortured beyond words. She regretted coming out of the hotel after she had received a call. "Hubby, I miss you so much... Who were you going to take me to meet?"
Yvette's tears flowed down her cheeks as she sobbed. Just then, the door was opened and the man entered once again.
Yvette wiped her tears coldly and stood up from the corner. Her expression was cold and terrifying. This person had been torturing her for more than ten days. She hated this person so much!
She was not afraid. The worst thing that could happen was her death. However, she would not give in!
"Let me out!" Yvette held the dagger in her hand, and she tried her best to hold it tight.
"If you defeat me, you can go out. If you can't win, you will be locked up here for the rest of your life. Let's do it!" The man came over. Yvette's eyes were indifferent. She took action in an instant, but the man easily grabbed her hand.
"Too weak, you're too weak." The man pushed Yvette away with disdain.
Yvette's fell onto the ground. it was very painful, but her eyes got even colder. "Let me out. I want to see my husband, I want to..."
"He's not your husband, he's your enemy. Come again!" The man said coldly.
Then, Yvette fell to the ground again after she lashed out another strike, and there was more coldness in her eyes. It was useless for her to charge forward...
This scene was monitored by an elder through the monitor's screen.
"Old Master, isn't this too cruel to Miss?" Someone next to him asked cautiously.
"No, if we're not cruel now, she will face more cruel things in the future. How is she supposed to kill Karen Lee with this mere ability that she possesses now? How could she kill that person? She can't even beat an ordinary person now. Too weak. She needs to at least be able to defeat a veteran with three to five years of training," the old man said in an aching but helpless voice.
"Will this work? Is it possible for her to survive such a harsh environment?" The person asked again.
"It's possible. Otherwise, she is not fit to be my granddaughter! My son is a first-class master of martial arts. She will inherit the skills from him, she will!" As he spoke, the eyes of the old man were bright!
Boom!
Yvette's body was kicked to the ground. She held her stomach where she received the blow and was about to faint.
"What's wrong? Is such rubbish skills all that you have? Are you still thinking about getting out of here with that ability of yours? Don't even think about it, you'll be locked up here for the rest of your life! Trash!" The man sneered and added, "Tomorrow, if you still can't beat me, I'll teach you a lesson! Now, eat this!"
He walked out while he threw a dirty bun in, and it landed in front of Yvette. She stared at the bun. In the face of the torture just now, she did not shed tears, but now, her tears spilled.
She picked up the dirty bun and the hunger she had suffered for the past few days made her swallow it down. "Hubby, I'm not dead, please wait for me. I swear I'll get out of here!"
