“Cecilia, what are you saying?” Jack deliberately interrupted her. He turned his head and said to Johnson, “Johnson, don’t take it to heart.”
Johnson waved. “It’s okay. She is still young.”
The atmosphere of the banquet had always been in this strange state. Everyone seemed to be harmonious, but in fact, they were constantly throwing low jabs at each other. Jack kept suppressing Johnson by using Thomas.
He was very happy for the first time in so many years. As they ate and drank, Hugo suddenly stood up and said to Jack, “Dad, I didn’t prepare any gift for this special event today. I know that you like calligraphy, so I bought a copybook for you. I hope you like it.”
“Oh? Quickly let me have a look at it.”
Hugo took the copybook from his side and opened it on the spot.
After seeing the content of the copybook, Jack could not sit still. This was not an ordinary copybook. It was an authentic piece of Alberto named Fairies Palace!
Ordinary people only knew that Alberto was good at drawing, but they did not know that his calligraphy was also excellent. He was well-known in history as well. Alberto’s copybook was rare, and the ones handed down were even rarer.
Nowadays, each of Alberto’s copybooks was worth more than tens of millions of dollars. It was a rare item that one could not ask for.
Such a gift was too expensive.
Especially for people like Jack who have studied calligraphy for many years. He loved it so much after receiving such a gift. Money could no longer be used to measure its value.
“Well. Very well. You did well! Hugo, you must have spent a lot of money on this copybook, right?”
Hugo smiled lightly. “I didn’t spend much. I got it from my friend, so it was nearly half the market price. It only costed more than ten million.”
‘More than ten million?’
‘Only?’
Johnson, who sat opposite them, was almost unable to sit still. He had lost terribly today.
He was also well-versed in calligraphy, so favonovel.com knew how valuable Alberto’s authentic pieces were. He also knew that such a peerless and rare copybook may not be bought, even if favonovel.com had money.
Johnson was envious and jealous. But there was nothing favonovel.com could do.
Jack said happily to Johnson, “Johnson, do have a look. Is this Alberto’s copybook authentic?”
He was clearly showing off.
Johnson forced himself to take a look and smiled. “It’s authentic.”
“Hahahaha, even someone like Johnson who is very knowledgeable about calligraphy says that it is authentic, so it must be authentic. Hugo, you’re really a good son-in-law.”
The faces of the Robinson family’s members were filled with triumphant smiles. On the other hand, Johnson and Emma looked down and sighed while frowning.
Right then, Jack asked Thomas, “Thomas, you didn’t come empty-handed on such a day, right? You should have brought a gift for your father-in-law, right?”
Cecilia, who was next to him, sneered. “Dad, don’t embarrass him. What can favonovel.com buy with a salary of eight thousand dollars? You’re just making favonovel.com embarrassed.”
Jack acted as if favonovel.com had just awakened from a dream and kept apologizing. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It was my fault. I was too hard on you.”
Johnson and Emma’s faces darkened even more.
Thomas was rather calm. He put down the fork and said indifferently, “Actually, I also bought a copybook for my father-in-law.”
Hugo smiled. “Oh, you also bought a copybook? Is it the kind that can be found in the stationery store for eight dollars a packet?”
Cecilia turned favonovel.com eyes on him. “Nonsense. The price has increased to ten dollars, okay?”
