The Ultimate Husband
Chapter 167

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 167 – Clifford called himself a man of success

at the last class reunion, but it turned out he just has a good godmother.

“How was it? How was my godmother’s gift?” Clifford looked at Darryl triumphantly as if he had the upper

hand.

“It is indeed a good gift, but no matter how good it is, it’s not a gift from you. What do you have to be

proud of, flaunting your godmother’s gift here?

You are pretty shameless,” Darryl smiled.

At this moment, every one in the hall focused their eyes on Clifford.

No matter how this young man showed off, it was still a gift from his godmother.

‘D**n it!’ Clifford cursed to himself.

Noticing everyone’s gaze on him, Clifford was angry, but he did not show it. “Who said there wasn’t a gift

from me?”

Clifford stood up, strode over to Dax, and took out an exquisite gift box

“President Sanders, it’s my honor to be here today to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday. This is a

token of my appreciation. Please accept it,” Clifford opened the gift box and said respectfully.

After Clifford said all this, he did not forget to turn toward Darryl and give him a provoking look.

Some of the people in the hall stood up immediately when they saw what was in the gift box. A pair of

white jade pendants was delicately placed in the gift box The jade pendants were snow white and shiny

without a trace of impurities, and the birds on it were very delicately carved and life like.

“From the looks of the carving technique of the jade pendants, is it from the Ming Dynasty?” someone

asked.

Everyone in the hall was society’s elites, and they all knew something about antique artifacts.

The others nodded one after another upon hearing that.

The price of the pair of jade pendants was probably no less than two million dollars. This young man was

good, and a person who was willing to present such a gift truly knows how to socialize.

“You have good eyes. Yes, this is from the Ming Dynasty. I knew that Old Master Sanders was interested

in antiques. So, I purposely bought this pair of jade pendants from a private collector, hoping that he

would like it,” Clifford smiled.

The pair of jade pendants were so exquisite. Even someone who did not know anything about antiques

would love it when they saw it.

“You spent a lot of money on the jade pendants, right?” someone asked.

Clifford smiled slightly and said casually, “It’s not much. It’s only five million bucks.”

This young man was clever. He knew that he would get to network with the Sanders family closely with

these five million dollars, which was indeed worth it.

A few of the guests nodded silently and continued admiring the pendants. Even Lily, who was standing

on the side, could not help but glance at it.

Only Darryl remained silent. When he saw everyone admiring it incessantly, he shook his head and

laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Clifford became angry all of a sudden.

“I wanted to ask how much did you spend on the pair of jade pendants?” Darryl grinned.

Clifford was stunned. “Are you deaf? Five million bucks. Didn’t you hear it? Why? Is five million bucks

such an astronomical number for a live-in son-in-law?”

Darryl subtly shook his head and looked at Clifford arrogantly. “That’s too much.”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Lily quickly pulled him and whispered, “Darryl, stop talking

nonsense.”

Although he had a good relationship with Dax, the people who came here today were here to celebrate

Old Master Sanders’ birthday. It was a special occasion.

“Besides, all the people here said the jade pendants were good. So please don’t mess things up,” Lily

continued.

Instantly, everyone looked towards Darryl. A few of the ladies were confused.

’The price was too much? What was the meaning of this? Did Clifford lose money? It was a pair of

beautiful jade pendants. Five million bucks were not too much even if it was a bit expensive, right?’

people thought.

“Darryl, what do you mean? Tell me then, how much are these jade pendants worth?” Clifford replied

dismissively.

Darryl stretched out two fingers. ’What?’ Clifford thought.

“Two million bucks? What do you know about it? This pair of jade pendants are only worth two million

bucks? Are you crazy? Clifford sneered.

“Darryl? Do you study antiques?” Darryl asked, surprised.

It seemed that Dax’s comrade was quite knowledgeable.

Darryl nodded and smiled, “I know a little bit.”
