Chapter 126: Tens of Millions of Dors


    Franklin felt very nervous when he asked how much the Jade Dragon was worth because he had just


    fiercely mocked Maximilian.


    Watching Maximilian giving away the Jade Dragon of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty as a birthday gift,


    Franklin felt very embarrassed.


    The face of other people, including Iris, turned bad with their eyebrows furrowed. It seemed that the


    more valuable the Jade Dragon was, the more ufortable they were.


    People who had said that the Jade Dragon was worth 20 dors only now flushed with shame. They


    even wished that there was a crack in the ground that they could hide themselves in.


    Humphrey furrowed his dashing eyebrows together with vague disquiet in his heart.


    He had thought that he would be the most outstanding one today due to the private room he booked in


    Lasdun and the gold coin watch he gave Marcus as a birthday gift, which cost about one million dors


    and more than fifteen thousand dors respectively. However, he found that things went differently as


    he had expected.


    Who had said that Maximilian was a piece of poor crap?


    Could a crap give a royal thing as a gift?


    The more Humphrey thought, the more heartbroken he was. It was possible that the money he spent


    today would be useless to achieve his goals.


    With a broken heart, Humphrey took a peak at Victoria and found that she was staring at Maximilian,


    which made him cry out silently.


    Victoria waspletely stunned by such a fast change and could not figure it out. She had worried that


    Maximilian would make a fool of himself with the gift, but now it seemed that the fool was not


    Maximilian, but these noisy and ridiculous rtives and friends.


    Maximilian smiled and said, “Mr. Hamilton, please tell me how much the Jade Dragon worth now. I am


    very curious about it, too. The Jade Dragon was bought from a street stall. It is such a windfall, isn''t it?”


    Humphrey and other people were in a mess and thought, “Fuck windfall, you dislike us and deliberately


    speak so to take a revenge on us’


    Humphrey thought he was taken for a ride. Maximilian just spent 20 dors and eventually became the


    most outstanding gay today, while he spent more than 1 million dors but gained nothing.


    Cyrusughed and said with a cough, “The Jade Dragon has never been traded, so I can''t directly give


    you the price. But I can give you a reference. A white jade bear made of Khotan jade and created


    during the reign of the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was sold at the Autumn Auction held by Christie''s


    not long ago for 6 million dors. As they are made in the same age, this Jade Dragon would sell for a


    better price at an auction”


    With a thud, someone failed to hold on to his butt and fell off his seat.


    Humphrey, Franklin and Iris were about to break down.


    “Oh, my god! More than 6 million dors, doesn''t it? It is such a valuable thing”


    m jealous. My son-inw only gave me gifts worth 15 thousand dors or so at my birthday, which


    are so cheappared to the Jade Dragon”


    “Maximilian isn''t as worthless as people said. At least, he got such a windfall, which is enough for him


    to amaze us,’ some old friends of Marcus mumbled. Their voices were not loud but were clear enough


    to be heard by everyone.


    A slight smile broke on Victoria''s lips. She feltpletely relieved that Maximilian eventually managed


    to make a good show this time.


    Looking at Victoria’s smile, Maximilian smiled, too. As long as Victoria was happy, he would be happy,


    too.


    Iris red at Maximilian and felt a burst of burning pain on her face, as if what she had said and done


    before pped on her face.


    She thought to herself, “The poor guy brought shame to me in public. I would trample him to death if


    there was a chance next time.”


    Franklin acted like a child who had done something wrong, bending his head and withdrawing his body.


    At that moment, the thought that the Jade Dragon was worth 6 million dors filled his mind. He thought


    he should be the one who had such a luck because it was he who often strolled around antique


    markets and why Maximilian, an idiot, could be so lucky?


    However, Franklin had never gained anything valuable in antique markets. On the contrary, he often fell


    for fake antiques.


    Franklin became even angrier at thought that Maximilian robbed him of his good luck. He just wanted to


    kill Maximilian on the spot.


    Andrew, Darian and their wives also knitted their eyebrows and looked awful.


    The guy unexpectedly got such a windfall that worth 6 million dors.


    Although Humphrey''s chest was filled with surprise and jealousy, he still pretended to be calm because


    he was a boss after all, and he should retain his emotions inside him.


    He said, “Ah...ah, it has really broadened my horizon. Maxi, excuse me, what''s your name? The Jade


    Dragon has amazed me a lot. Despite its value, you just spent 20 dors on it. So, I think your present


    should be regard as 20 dors and the additional value should be owed to luck”


    He seemed to be logical, but actually he was ying a game and green with envy. If he could, he


    would not hesitate to howl at Maximilian.


    Laura said, “Humphrey is right. The Jade Dragon was bought at a price of 20 dors, so it is a gift of


    only 20 dors. The


    additional value is footy and means nothing..” Laura was interrupted by Marcus.


    On the one hand, Marcus didn’t want to make the situation too outrageous. On the other hand, he


    worried that Maximilian would take the Jade Dragon back if he was cornered. In that case, he would


    lose a lot.


    The n to freeze out Maximilian could be postponed, but the precious Jade Dragon should be


    epted right now.


    So, he said in the way that a father-inw would speak, “No matter how much it was worth, it always


    represented his filial piety. I decided to ept it. Maximilian, thank you for your gift, and I am looking


    forward to your further progress in the future.”


    Maximilian smiled and said, “As long as you like it, it is fine with me”


    “Of course, I like it. And the gift given by Humphrey is great, too. Well, let''s order dishes. It''s time for


    meal now. "Marcus said.


    He immediately changed the topic


    when his slick words were over. He worried that if he didn’t do it, Laura would again say something


    unpleasant for Maximilian to hear.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Laura red at Maximilian with dissatisfaction, but considering the value of the Jade Dragon, she said


    nothing.


    Humphrey smiled with bitterness and helplessness and thought to himself that no one knew his


    bitterness. He had lost the bait along with the fish, but it didn’t matter. There would be another chance


    for him to teach Maximilian a lesson. The poor guy was always poor and Maximilian could not be lucky


    every time, he thought.


    Humphrey called the waiter and took the menu. Holding the menu in his hand, he took a look at


    Maximilian and thought that since he had already spent so much money, he didn''t care to spend more.


    In order to win his dignity, Humphrey decided to order expensive dishes only.


    “Three lobsters with a weight no less than 1.5 kilograms each, abalones, stewed millet and sea


    cucumber...” Precious dishes were ordered one by one, as Humphrey looked around and felt relieved


    after seeing their expressions. He thought to himself that spending money was surely cool. When


    Humphrey was absorbed in his expensive dishes, the door opened. A cold voice broke through; I want


    this room, and you are supposed to choose another one”
