Chapter 411
Chapter 411
Arnold was a sly fox. He didn't bring up the Hero's Family so as not to upset Loretta about her deceased son, but he still got his point across.
As the president of Solaris Bank, Walter immediately knew that this was an act to impress and curry favor to win the title of the Hero's Family.
Therefore, after he rejected Arnold a few more times, he finally accepted the gift.
Once Walter accepted the gift, the look on Arnold's face immediately changed.
He knew that Walter was satisfied with the jade pot.
Arnold even straightened his back and puffed his chest like a peacock!
He looked at Heston victoriously and said, "Mr. Maslow! I heard from rumors in Diosna City that the Scarlet Heart Group and the Sunshine Corporation are the two leading enterprises going head to head. Therefore, your gift will only be as outstanding as ours, right?"
Heston responded with a cold smile, "You don't have to worry about us, Mr. Yorkshire. The Scarlet Heart Group values Mrs. Hewitt's birthday more than you!"
"Oh, really? Then, you should take your gift out and show us your sincerity!"
Arnold's vexing words made Heston whisper to Eric, "What gift did you prepare for her? It can't be worse than Arnold's, right?!"
Initially, Heston planned to choose the birthday gift himself, but the recent company issues had rendered him completely busy. So, he entrusted this task to Eric.
Additionally, Kyle's injuries and hospitalization also added to his burden. He only had time to ask Will to prepare a gift. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Don't worry, dad. I took care of it," Will smiled and took out a 110,000 watch.
"That's the Patek Philippe watch! It costs 11,000! They're really keeping the pressure on the Sunshine Corporation's head!"
Heston let out a satisfied smile when he heard these words from people around him. He even patted Will on his shoulder for a job well done. "Good job. You've done well!"
Then, Heston took the box and walked towards Walter and his wife, wishing, "As the representative of the Scarlet Heart Group, I wish Mrs. Hewitt a great birthday and a prosperous life!"
Finally, he presented the beautifully packaged and luxurious watch with both hands.
Mrs. Hewitt took the gift box with a smile. "All right, thank you for your gift."
Eric's eye twitched when he saw the Patek Philippe watch. "Patek Philippe? A watch?"
"I didn't expect the Scarlet Heart Group to give Mrs. Hewitt a Patek Philippe watch! What model is it? Don't tell me it's a model worth 30,000 to 50,000!" He continued to mock.
Will immediately retorted, "30,000 to 50,000? Is Mrs. Hewitt's worth that little? I personally went and chose this watch. It's worth 110,000!"
Immediately there were sounds of clearing throats and coughing next to them.
Two government leaders who were drinking tea spat out all the tea upon hearing the price!
"W-What did you say?!"
Although they were all leaders of the Solaris Province, their salaries weren't high due to their exemplary work.
They were utterly dumbstruck when they heard that the watch was worth such a high price!
Those guests who were admiring the Sunshine Corporation's generosity all turned around and cried out, "My God! I thought that the Sunshine Corporation was already liberal with their money! I didn't expect the Scarlet Heart Group to be even more generous!"
"The Scarlet Heart Group is far more benevolent than the Sunshine Corporation! Even if the Sunshine Corporation had just won a big project, they are still so miserly!"
"Yes, it seems like Mr. Maslow respects the Hero's Family more than anyone else! It's a lesson worth learning for the rest of us!"
Will and Heston were so proud of themselves; they were practically basking in all the compliments coming from all sides!
Eric clenched his fists and hissed through gritted teeth, "Congrats, Will! You're amazing!"
With that, he turned around and noticed Kingsley eating with his head down.
He thought since he failed to humiliate Will at the birthday ceremony, he had no choice but to embarrass Will through Kingsley!
Eric sneered and purposely started nit-picking at him. "Hey! Kingsley! Are you really here for the food?"
