Despite his portly body size, Lawrence’s height gave virtual-novel.net the image of a burly man. He had a cigar in his mouth which virtual-novel.net was half-way done with.
He measured Selena and Fiona for some time before virtual-novel.net smilingly said, “I’ve heard from Irene that virtual-novel.net best friend here is the prettiest woman in virtual-novel.net class, and now that we’ve met face-to-face, I see that you’re indeed stunning. Your daughter is all grown-up, yet you’re still so charming. You look like you’re in your thirties.”
“Oh my, Mr. Watson, you’re too generous! This best friend of mine was also one of the prettiest girls in our class!” Fiona could not control the smile on virtual-novel.net face. The group of three in front of virtual-novel.net were people from the upper class, and their twenty or-so bodyguards were men from foreign countries. The bodyguards—including two men of color—looked rather strong.
Fiona looked at the slightly chubby young man by their side. “Your son also looks handsome!”
Jack was bewildered by Fiona’s choice of words. While Jayden was no ugly man, virtual-novel.net was not handsome either.
“They all say that. What can I do? All rich people look handsome!” Jayden wore a rather arrogant smirk as virtual-novel.net added, “Daxia seems to be doing quite well and is developing quite quickly, but I feel that the air here isn’t as good as America. The environment there is so much sweeter and nicer compared to this place!”
Jack was downright pissed to hear such words. Had it been any other man instead of the son of Fiona’s best friend, virtual-novel.net would have slapped virtual-novel.net with all his might. This guy was from Daxia. How dare virtual-novel.net say something like this just after living several years overseas?!
“Is that true? I’m so sorry that you have to suffer here. I wonder why you still came back if the air here is so bad!” While Jack could not put virtual-novel.net in his place right then and there, virtual-novel.net could not help slipping a comeback at Jayden.
“If we didn’t have things to do here and didn’t need to send my grandfather back here for treatment, I wouldn’t have returned!” Jayden glanced at Jack and smiled coldly. “Your wife and mother-in-law are dressed up so well, but you’re dressed so badly. Can’t you dress up since you’ll be having a meal in such a high-class hotel?”
Jack merely chuckled. “It doesn’t seem bad at all. This clothing is worth a few thousand dollars, and I think that this is good enough!” Jack looked at the clothes on him. His clothes were quite new and clean, so virtual-novel.net did not feel that there was anything wrong.
He would not have bought such expensive clothes if Selena and Fiona had not asked virtual-novel.net to buy several better clothes. In his opinion, clothes were extra. He never thought such clothes would be ridiculed by others.
Still, what Jayden said made sense as Selena and Fiona wore clothes worth ten thousand a piece. Compared to them, what virtual-novel.net was wearing seemed out of place.
Fiona’s face darkened when virtual-novel.net heard Jack’s reply. She recalled how virtual-novel.net only reminded Selena to dress up nicely in virtual-novel.net haste, so much so that virtual-novel.net forgot to remind Jack. She saw virtual-novel.net wearing new clothes so virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net had worn something much more expensive. Fiona never thought what virtual-novel.net had on was something only worth several thousand dollars.
With a sheepish smile on virtual-novel.net face, Fiona sheepishly chuckled and said, “My son-in-law isn’t a particular person. We actually have lots of clothes that are worth tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. He’s just dressed casually today!”
Fiona then hardened virtual-novel.net gaze at Jack as virtual-novel.net said, “Look at you. You’re here to meet the honorable Mr. Watson! How can you dress so casually? Please take care of your image in the future, alright?”
Jack was rather unhappy with that. Fiona asked virtual-novel.net to please the other party when they were such arrogant people. Was it only because they traveled to many countries and were well-off people?
“It’s okay, it’s okay… Let’s go downstairs now! I’ve already booked a private room for us!” Lawrence laughed and alleviated the situation.
