Claire said gratefully, "Thank you, husband but in future, you should not spend so lavishly on me like this..."
Charlie knew that Claire certainly would not be able to accept such pricey gifts. So, he simply smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I will buy you much more affordable gifts in future." i
After going into the house, Elaine hurriedly placed all the Hermes gifts that Charlie had given to her over the floors in the living room. 6
While displaying the gifts and package boxes nicely, she took out her cell phone to take various pictures from different angles.
Then, she chose nine pictures that she was most satisfied with and immediately uploaded those pictures on her social media with the caption: "My good son-in-law went to work in Eastcliff and he gave me so many Hermes as gifts after coming home! I am extremely happy!” ~i
Likes and comments surged on Elaine's social media account in an instant. Seeing many women hurling envious and bitter comments on her post, she could not help but jump for joy! 6
Deep down, she also felt very arrogant and
complacent. 'This is so satisfying! I am now living in such a huge villa and using a Hermes bag! I am just like any other rich and wealthy women now! After fixing and getting my two porcelain front teeth done, I can go out and show off then, by carrying my Hermes bag and wearing my Hermes scarf and belt!’ 9
On the other hand, Jacob sat down on the sofa before quickly taking out the tea leaves given by Charlie. He was planning to make a pot of tea so that he could taste the difference between these tea leaves and those tea leaves that he had bought from the young girl online.
As soon as he opened the bag of tea leaves that were given by Stephen, Jacob could smell the refreshing tea aroma in an instant.
Jacob was really amazed! 7
Jacob hurriedly placed the tea leaves given by Charlie inside the teapot. At this time, the water in the electric kettle was also boiling already. In a hurry, Jacob poured the boiling water into the kettle. At this time, the fragrant aroma of the tea leaves was brought out b y the hot water. The entire living room was filled with the fragrant aroma of the tea leaves.
Jacob exclaimed in shock, "This...the aroma of these tea leaves is simply amazing!"
Claire, who was sitting far away, could also smell the fragrant aroma and exclaimed, "Wow! It really smells amazing! Dad, please pour me a cup of tea too!”
When Elaine, who had never enjoyed drinking tea, smelled the fragrant tea aroma at this time, she hurriedly said, "These tea leaves smell really premium. Jacob, pour me a cup of tea so that I can taste it too!" 1
Jacob hurriedly brought out four small tea cups before he started pouring four cups of tea. After that, he picked up one of the cups and placed it by his mouth before slowly taking a careful sip. As soon as he tasted the tea, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “Good tea! This is really good tea! I have never tasted such good tea in my life!"
