Chapter 111 Worth More Than A Hundred Millon
Alec felt like he was collateral damage in the exchange. Jenny was also stunned. Had Old Mr. Faust forgotten that they had already divorced?
After a while, Old Mr. Faust returned the lapis lazuli stone to its place while giving Yvonne and her friend a disdainful look. “From how you treat this lapis lazuli stone, I’d have thought you were the richest person in Parrington. It’s worth more than a hundred million dollars, you know.”
Even though he was directing those words at her friend, Yvonne still blushed with embarrassment.
A hundred million dollars?
Who’d have thought this rock could be worth more than a hundred million?
Moreover, where did Jenny even get that much money? What was her relationship with Old Mr. Faust?
Everyone’s curiosity was piqued.
Some even suspected that Jenny was one of Old Mr. Faust’s illegitimate daughters. After all, hers was the most expensive gift tonight. Why would she give him such an expensive gift if they weren’t related?
Wif
Old Mr. Faust knew what the others were thinking. He glanced at them and said sternly, “Jenny is Alec’s
so she’s my granddaughter-in-law. What’s so surprising about her giving me a lavish gift?”
Alec’s wife?
Everyone’s jaws dropped in disbelief.
“You’re right.” Old Mr. Faust nodded. “That’s a wrap, people. Let the banquet resume.”
The crowd dispersed reluctantly. Yvonne was still stunned when she was dragged away by her friend.
Jenny also made to leave with Max. After all, she was also a guest at the banquet.
“Jenny, can we talk?” Old Mr. Faust stopped her.
Jenny didn’t refuse. “You can leave first,” she told Max.
“Okay.” Max nodded, then said with a grin, “Don’t forget, you’re my partner tonight. Don’t get too close to other men.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget it even if I wanted to,” Jenny said in exasperation.
