After the family of three returned to the hotel, Elaine received a forwarded business contact information from Lucy.
The other party’s nickname was ‘Grateful Heart’. Judging from her profile picture, she was probably a woman in her forties who was very well-maintained.
Moreover, the profile picture was taken on a very luxurious private jet.
Elaine was also a person who had been on a private jet before, after all, and this luxurious trip to the United States had been unforgettable for her.
Therefore, when she saw this woman’s profile picture, she instinctively thought that this must be a very powerful woman.
So, she silently returned to her room and sent the other part a friend request with the caption “Hello, I’m Lucy’s friend.”.
After the message had been sent, the other party quickly approved her friend request. The other party then sent her a smiley face emoji followed by a voice message: “Hello, you’re Elaine, right?”
Elaine hastily replied: “Yes, it’s me. I think Lucy must have told you everything already, right? I happen to be flying from New York to Hong Kong on a connecting flight this Sunday before returning to Oskia.”
The other party replied: “Oh, that’s great. In that case, we should be on the same flight. By the way, are you in first class or economy class?”
Elaine hurriedly said: “My son-in-law bought me a ticket for the first-class cabin.”
The other party smiled and responded: “That’s good. I also bought a ticket for the first-class cabin. We can meet up at the airport and check in together. We can choose a closer seat, then.”
“Okay, sure.” Elaine agreed with a smile and then asked: “May I ask for your name?”
Having said that, the other party sent another voice message: “If you hadn’t mentioned that my last name is very rare, I wouldn’t have mentioned this relationship to you. After all, he is my distant relative, and if I constantly talk about how I am related to him to others, it might seem like I’m bragging.”
Elaine was instantly filled with admiration for Clarissa as soon as she heard the latter’s words.
In her opinion, some people’s modesty was false modesty and true pride, while some people’s modesty was true modesty with no pride. Clarissa was the latter.
Even though she already had assets worth billions of US dollars, she still described herself as worthless. This kind of humility was unheard of.
Elaine could not help but sigh as she thought to herself, ‘The gap between people is huge indeed! I am already so arrogant and showing off when I’m only carrying a basic model Hermes bag and taking a private jet that I won in a lottery. I didn’t expect that there would be someone who is so low-key when she has a net worth of billions of US dollars.”
Just as Elaine was sighing emotionally, she suddenly thought of something and wondered, ‘She’s already so rich, so why isn’t she taking a private jet?’
