Chapter 91 Money Is Not Important
As Mr. Lawson and Jenny chatted away, Morgan watched and listened silently. Although she couldn’t join the conversation, she wasn’t upset at all. Soon, the clerk returned to them with the item Mr. Lawson had asked for and handed it to Jenny.
“This is the premium paintbrush that just arrived. Mr. Faust likes this one the most,” Mr. Lawson said with a smile.
Jenny nodded as she inspected it. Based on her understanding of Old Mr. Faust, things pertaining to art, such as paintbrushes and canvas, had a special place in his heart.
In the past, whenever Jenny visited the Old Mansion for dinner, she would visit Mr. Lawson’s store to buy something for Old Mr. Faust, which brought him great joy each time.
Jenny handed the item to Morgan, saying, “Give this to him. He’ll like it.”
“Okay.” Morgan had no doubts about Jenny’s decision. “How much is it?”
Mr. Lawson smiled at her and jokingly said, “Money is not important.”
“What do you mean?” Morgan was confused.
“It’s 108 thousand dollars,” he replied.
Watching Morgan’s shocked expression, Jenny burst into laughter before she chided, “Mr. Lawson, stop. teasing her.”
“I didn’t expect her to react so well,” Mr. Lawson said, trying to stifle his laughter.
Meanwhile, Morgan was still dumbfounded, wondering how much it cost.
As if she knew what she was thinking, Jenny said, “Just take it, Morgan. I’ll pay for it. Please give me a discount, Mr. Lawson.”
“I don’t thi” Morgan was about to refuse.
“Well, I’m about to buy something else, so treat this as a complimentary gift,” Jenny quickly interrupted. Looking at Mr. Lawson, he asked, “Isn’t that right, Mr. Lawson?”
Her father had allocated a budget of 200 thousand dollars for Old Mr. Faust’s gifts. Although the Golding
family had some money, they were not filthy rich. In addition, they had set a high budget for the gifts in hopes that it would help them get better acquainted with the Faust family.
Unwilling to give up, she continued to ask, “How much would a person need to buy to get this as a complimentary gift?”
“I don’t know. Probably a hundred million dollars,” the clerk mused. “However, given that your friend knows my boss very well, perhaps ten million dollars would suffice.”
Morgan almost fell to the ground when she heard that.
Who exactly was Jenny? Why did she have hundreds of millions of dollars at her expense? From the way she interacted with Mr. Lawson, Jenny seemed to be a returning customer. How much money has she spent here?
Inside the room, Jenny was unaware of the thoughts flying through Morgan’s head. She was standing in Mr. Lawson’s treasure collection, choosing a gift for Old Mr. Faust.
She decided to bring him the gift if the old man invited her to the party. If she received no invitation, she would have it delivered through a courier service.
