Chapter 11 Crossword Family Residence
"Who would have thought that a young man was capable? Imagine putting those rare blue diamonds that would be worth at least dozens of millions dollars inside a plastic bag! That's simply absurd.... That boy is really something."
A middle-aged man spike with admiration, as he said that to his rich friend beside him.
"Heh, one can't judge a book by its cover.Tsk tsk.That boy is honestly humble.He didn't even throw his weight around when he got that much money on him, unlike some people here who only know how to appear rich when in truth they aren't so capable.Isn't that right, Mike?"
The middle-aged man's friend replied with a smile while poking fun at the couple who insulted Sett not too long ago.The couple had an ugly look on their faces.
"Isn't he just lucky? That much money is merely pocket money for me and my wife, hmmph!"
After saying that, they headed toward the door.Although they wanted to remain, their hearts were being scratched by acat in curiosity.If those blue diamonds were 25.0-carats and according to Ms.
Jasmine, their purity surpassed the norm.They gulped from solely thinking how much money that guy would get.
Needless to say, they didn't have the face to remain here and allow themselves to be mocked by others.
At this time, everyone turned to look at the VIP room as Ms.
Jasmine came out and started gathering the sales personnel and instructing them.
Confused, some of the wealthy people inquired about the shop's personnel.
"You mean, what did Ms.Jasmine instruct us to do? To tell you the truth, Sir, Mike, The manager had specifically asked us to prepare the papers to transfer ownership of a certain famous painter's masterpiece, namely the "Saints' longevity!".That VIP must be extremely rich to afford a ten million dollar painting like that!"
The female employee beamed as she spoke to the middle-aged man.
"...I wish I could marry someone like him, but it's too late now.The manager must have set her eyes on him already..."
The middle-aged man smiled a little while facing the VIP room.
"What an intriguing young man, but why do I find that young man familiar? Nah, there's just no way I should be heading toward my old friend's birthday later.But before that, I should make friends with that young fellow first."
Meanwhile, Sett had used the back door of the pawnshop to exit the place.But before that, he had asked Ms.
Jasmine to deliver the painting as a gift.
With that off his shoulder, Sett returned home and brought his sister.
The little girl had been throwing tantrums at him last night and early in the morning, telling him that she'd go with him to Grandpa Francisco's birthday because she was feeling bored and wanted to meet her cousins.It was getting late, so he had to hurry.
Outside the gate of the Crossword residence, there are numerous luxurious cars, including Ford Mustangs and SUVs with the latest models, and also a BMW Fifth Series parked.
Pairs of all ages with respectable backgrounds entered through the front gate as the Crossword younger generation came to welcome them with respect.
At this time, a cab suddenly stops not far away, as a chubby teenager holds onto the young girl's tiny arm.She looks like she was in her early teens.
"Brother, let's go find Grandpa and Grandma! I miss Uncle and Auntie!"
Nini's eyes sparkled as she kept jumping and tagging Sett's clothes.Her sunny personality made Sett crack a smile.He let himself be dragged by Nini toward the busy gate.
"Nini, you have to be polite to your aunts, uncles, and grandfather, alright?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Sett smiled as he said that, but deep in his heart, he was worried because all his grandfather's conflicts with his father hadn't been resolved yet.
As he was about to enter the entrance gate, suddenly his phone started ringing.He hastily picked up the call.
There was a striking name on the phone screen: Ms.Jane Scarlet.
"Mr.Crow, I deeply apologize, as I've forgotten to give you the Platinum Card that the president has prepared for you! May I know your current location?"
Platinum Card? Sett scratched his head.He had no idea what it was for, but since it came from his grandfather, Mark, it should be extraordinary.
"I think it isn't convenient for me to receive the card now, Ms.Scarett.I'm currently at the Crossword family residence.I'm attending my grandfather Francisco's eightieth birthday.It is only near the left district and far away from Wall Street." Sett said, honestly, he preferred Ms.
Scarlett to hand him the "card" at the old mansion.
"No worries, Mr.Crow, as I will be there to pick you up.I also have something to give you.While I am at it, Ihave to ensure your safety."She paused for a moment on the phone in contemplation.
'By the way, Mr.Crow, did you drink the medicine? Ahh! Alright, thank goodness, as it would help you increase your body's resilience and power! That would be all, Mr.Crow.I'll see you later, by then! Goodbye."
With that being said, the phone was turned off and Sett started contemplating, trying to process what was in Ms.Scarlett's head.
‘If she did pick me up, I could only hope that it's not so surprising.If she brought a battalion of bodyguards, that would be too shocking, just like what happened at that time in the bar.." Sett frowned.
He abhorred the idea of appearing as though he was some kind of big shot.He was more inclined toward living in peace and enjoying the stability in his life.
Suddenly, he felt a presence behind him, just as he turned around to see who that person was, and that's when someone pulled on his shoulder.
"Look who we have here.It's Fatty the Family Genius, the Great Fatty! What a surprise!"
A jeering voice of a young man filled with animosity could be heard.
"Great? Tsk, tsk, he's more like the family shame rather than anything! Why did he even come here? I doubt he had any invitations, right?"
This time it was a young female voice.Sett's expression turned grim as he looked in the voice's direction.
