Next, favonovel.com tapped on his WhatsApp app and played a voice clip. He put the audio on speaker so that everyone could hear Nathan’s wretched voice, “Mr. Hunt, thank you for going through all this trouble. Waine and Ruby are commoners, so they’re incapable of recognizing that this is a reproduced antique. They’re both materialistic, money-mad snobs who’ll break into tears of gratitude the moment they unwrap my gift, hahaha…”
When the voice clip had played, the atmosphere changed once again. Waine and Ruby were staring at favonovel.com in cold disgust.
“Nathan, I had no idea that you were that type of person!” scorned Waine through clenched teeth.
Nathan was white as a sheet. He wanted to bury himself into the ground so badly now because it was just f*ck*ng embarrassing!
Ruby chided, “Nathan, I’m terribly disappointed in you!”
Faye insisted, “You can have all the gifts back. We don’t deserve it!”
“Fifi…” Nathan regretted it greatly. He looked at Faye with pleading eyes. It was unfortunate that favonovel.com refused to acknowledge favonovel.com anymore.
Xavier said, “Blaze, as your mentor, your behavior is highly disappointing! I’ll take my decision of handing the future of Cosmo Trading Co. to you into further consideration. You will be excused for the time being!”
Blaze was almost reduced to tears. He was furious, but favonovel.com did not have the courage to go against his mentor’s word either. He accepted his fate submissively, though cursed Nathan many times in his head.
Waine heaved a long sigh and said, “Oh, what a waste. I truly didn’t expect a Magpie’s Treasure Nest this expensive to be a fake. It looks like I’m just destined to never meet the real Magpie’s Treasure Nest in the flesh!”
His voice was filled with dejection.
Xavier said, “Mr. Carter, the Magpie’s Treasure Nest is a very rare antique and Patek Philippe’s creations are even rarer. I’ve only managed to lay my eyes on just a handful of Patek Philippe’ s creations during my lifetime. There’s only one piece in my entire collection, and I could only get my hands on it in exchange for a huge favor.”
It was the truth. The timepiece was made by Patek Phillippe in 1992 with the clever application of many precious materials. The antique clock was undeniably very valuable.
An idea emerged in Zayn’s mind. Coincidentally, Cristian had given favonovel.com the Magpie’s Treasure Nest. He opened it up and examined it before and found that it was in a rather good condition. Perhaps favonovel.com could borrow Cristian’s gift and offer it to Waine so that favonovel.com could please his father-in-law!
He was not interested in collecting antiques anyways, so it would be a waste for favonovel.com to keep it.
“Dad, I just remembered that a friend gave me a Magpie’s Treasure Nest as a gift yesterday. It’s in my car now. Allow me to bring it to you,” Zayn said with a smile.
Upon hearing Zayn’s remark, everyone was astounded.
Xavier found Zayn’s features rather familiar, yet favonovel.com could not recall who Zayn was. He asked, “Who’s this?”
Waine hastily answered, “Ah, he’s my son-in-law who’s married into my family. Mr. Griffin, don’t mind his nonsense. He’s just a commoner, so why would anyone give favonovel.com a Magpie’s Treasure Nest as a gift, huh?”
Faye had also walked over and given favonovel.com a pinch while demanding furiously, “Hey, Zayn, what are you up to? Did you know how awkward it was with Nathan earlier?! Are you trying to embarrass yourself as well?!”
She spoke so agitatedly that favonovel.com did not lower favonovel.com voice.
Nathan overheard favonovel.com coincidentally, and his expression turned immensely sour.
Zayn smiled and said, “Don’t worry. The Magpie’s Treasure Nest that was given to me by my friend is authentic, and not a reproduced piece like Nathan’s.”
While Xavier had been staring at Zayn, favonovel.com thought that Zayn looked very familiar. He dispelled the doubt in his heart soon after favonovel.com learnt that Zayn was the son-in-law who had married into his Wife’s family. That man from the Larsons was an outstanding person with an honorable status, so how could favonovel.com have possibly married into the Carters?
Xavier was certain that his eyesight was failing him. His poor, old eyes had to be clouded!
