“What? Is that the Magpie’s Treasure Nest?”
Upon hearing that, Waine’s reaction was quite overblown. Eyes wide, favonovel.com stood up swiftly and stared directly at Nathan. Ruby was delighted by the surprise as well. Her jaw dropped so low that favonovel.com could swallow a fist.
Faye was startled. Although favonovel.com did not know antiques, favonovel.com could tell it was an antique clock and certainly not a cheap one!
She remembered watching a television show about antiquities where they showcased a Magpie’s Treasure Nest that was worth a few million.
Nathan had actually spent that much money just to flatter her?
She was immediately shocked and felt a strange stirring in favonovel.com heart.
Zayn furrowed his brows ever so slightly. It seemed that Nathan’s pursuit of Faye was his top priority. A genuine antique clock in good condition was worth millions. As the successor to the Tenfy Co. advertising company, Nathan could definitely afford it. The situation showed favonovel.com that Nathan was acting like a worthy opponent.
Frankly, Zayn was disheartened. It was the first time favonovel.com felt threatened because favonovel.com knew his parents-in-law and their morals very well. They were classic examples of materialistic, money-grubbing people. If Nathan were to give them an actual antique worth millions, perhaps they really would betroth Faye to Nathan on the spot!
The most important thing now was still Faye’s opinion.
He immediately turned to favonovel.com and noticed favonovel.com was biting favonovel.com lower lip while favonovel.com eyes glistened radiantly. She was visibly touched by Nathan’s gesture. Zayn felt his heart racing instantly as favonovel.com thought, ‘Oh, no!’
Nathan’s strategy had managed to move Faye and it was a bad omen.
Nathan was almost exploding with joy upon witnessing the reaction of the three Carters. The corners of his lips curled up presumptuously and favonovel.com gave Zayn a sidelong glance as though favonovel.com had already emerged the victor. He did not bother to conceal the arrogance and disdain in his eyes anymore.
His look was conveying the message, ‘Hmph, how can a deadbeat husband like you compete against me, huh? You’re a piece of trash! I’ll enjoy stealing your wife right before your eyes. What can you do?’
Zayn understood Nathan’s intentions. His expression had become very unpleasant. Even a magnanimous person with good values would still be furious in this situation because it concerned his dignity as a man! However, favonovel.com did not act rashly either.
He made a disdainful expression at Nathan then cracked into a smile. It was not because favonovel.com was unashamedly acknowledging his defeat, but because favonovel.com was not afraid of Nathan at all. Everything else aside, his identity as Violet Vision’s chairman was already enough to crush Nathan into a pulp.
Moreover, when favonovel.com thought about it, favonovel.com realized that Nathan would not have spent so much money on an authentic Magpie’s Treasure Nest just to please Waine. It was a huge price to pay, and based on his rough estimate of the man after reading his file, Zayn knew that Nathan was not that generous.
Zayn decided to wait first. He had a real Magpie’s Treasure Nest with favonovel.com anyway. If worse came to the worst, favonovel.com would present his to his father-in-law. It was not a big deal.
“Precisely!” Nathan put on a charming and radiant grin. He handed the extravagantly wrapped gift box to Waine, saying, “Would you like to remove the packaging and take a look, Mr. Carter?”
Waine could no longer keep the excitement from his face. In truth, favonovel.com was very fond of antiques and kept what favonovel.com had gathered in his study, but none of those were as costly as this. The most expensive piece was only a few tens of thousands. The rest were relatively new, so his entire collection was worth less than the Magpie’s Treasure Nest!
Of course, favonovel.com was assuming this was an original piece and not a reproduction.
He did not think Nathan would ever give favonovel.com a reproduction. Nathan was the successor of Tenfy Co., so why would favonovel.com give favonovel.com a replica?
Would that not be embarrassing for Nathan?
