Chapter 53 Purchasing A Phone

“That’s right. My grandpa once said that Mr. Bartone drew this in the Renaissance Era. One of my grandpa’s friends tried to buy this painting for fifty thousand from him, but he refused, saying that this is our family’s heirloom,” the lackey explained.

“I see. How much do you want for it?” Alex ignored the fact that the lackey was selling his heirloom and asked for the price instead.

“Mr. Jefferson can have it for free if you like it.” The lackey quickly shook his head and was serious about giving it to Alex.

“Just name your price. Do you think Mr. Jefferson can’t afford it?” Flynn frowned, knowing that Alex wouldn’t take anything for granted.

“Then… How about fifty thousand?” the lackey quickly replied. The truth was that he had no idea how much the painting was worth and only went with the price that was offered to his grandfather.

Alex took a card out and threw it to the lackey. “There’s one million in this card. The password is 888888.”

Alex predicted that the painting could fetch roughly half a million but decided to give the lackey a bonus for his generosity.

“But…” The lackey caught the card and looked at Flynn with a flustered look.

“Take it. Remember to serve Mr. Jefferson well when he needs it,” Flynn said.

The lackey quickly thanked Alex and vowed that he would do anything when asked.

After a night of drinking, Alex got up and was ready to leave.

The alcohol thinned out the frustration in Alex, and he was determined to become stronger as fast as he could, both in his strength and the success of Four Seas Corporation.

He recalled Charlie’s words to destroy the Morrisons and save his father with everything he had.

On the way back, Alex passed by a mobile phone store and he decided to buy one for himself.

He had his eyes on the newest Mi10 PRO 5G which cost six thousand.

“Oh? Isn’t this my live-in-cousin-in-law?”

Just as the salesperson was about to take the phone out for Alex, a person mocked from behind.

Alex turned around and found that it was Heather’s cousin, Harper Jennings.

Next to Harper was none other than her fiancé, Henry Hale.

Alex merely spared them a glance before turning back to the salesperson. “Can I have a look at the phone?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As the salesperson reached for the phone, Harper scoffed. “Hey, miss, do you really think he can afford a phone that’s worth six thousand? Look at how poor and pathetic he looks! I think you should get him one that costs around a thousand.”

The salesperson gave Alex a once-over and agreed with Harper. “Sir, I think the young miss over there is right. The phone that you chose is the newest 5G model. It’s pretty expensive.”

Since it was almost time to get off work, the salesperson did not want to waste her time on Alex.

“And how are you sure that I can’t afford it?” Alex stared at the salesperson coldly.

“Drop your act,” Henry laughed. “Everyone knows you live off of your wife.”

Alex turned to look at Henry with an amused look.

“What? It’s the truth. I’m going to buy Harper a phone that’s worth twenty thousand today. Can you afford it?” Henry mocked.

As soon as the salesperson heard that Henry would buy the most expensive phone in the store, her eyes lit up in excitement when she thought about the hefty commission she could get from it.

“You, move over. That’s where all the cheap phones are at. Don’t waste my time,” the salesperson scolded and tried to push Alex away but failed to do so.
