Chapter 58 A Phone As A Gift

“If you don’t believe that the phone is authentic, you can confirm it at the phone store. Bran Corporation is one of the nation’s top phone providers and is licensed to sell them. How can these be counterfeits?” Alex responded.

While it made sense to Heather, she still went ahead and searched for the company’s official website.

Carmen turned the phone on. Although she liked it a lot, she did not comment and merely looked to Heather and Lucas.

She did not want it if it was a knockoff.

“Sis, you don’t have to search the website. You can tell that it’s authentic once you switch it on.” Lucas said.

Then, he looked at Alex with a smile and said, “Alex, thank you.”

For the first time in four years, this was the first time Lucas ever showed respect to him.

Carmen exclaimed excitedly, “Is this phone really worth twenty thousand?”

Her current phone model did not even cost up to two thousand.

“Yes, it is. Alex got lucky this time.” Heather gazed warmly at Alex. She was just as thrilled since her current phone model was worth much less than the new one.

She was pleased with the fact that Alex did not sell the phones for cash but rather brought it home as a gift to all her family members.

Heather was happy that Alex thought of sharing such good things with her and her family.

“Alright, since you’re so filial, I will nag at you less from now onwards,” Carmen said. Right after that, she reached for her current phone to snap a picture of her new one and sent it to all her friends.

Then, she transferred her sim card to her new phone.

While Lucas followed suit, Heather tried to be more discreet with it.

“There is still food in the kitchen, you can reheat it for yourself,” Heather said.

“I’ve eaten. When I was out shopping for the gift, I bumped into a friend, so I had a meal with him,” Alex replied. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Smelling the alcohol from Alex’s breath, Heather nodded and asked, “Have you bought the gift? How much was it?”

Alex nodded. “I’ve gotten the gift, don’t worry. Granny will be very pleased with it once she sees it tomorrow.” He was sure of it since not many people in the family could afford such a prestigious art piece that was worth tens of thousands.

Despite having doubts about it, Heather acknowledged Alex’s reply and said nothing more.

When she thought about how Demi had never been satisfied with their presents, the notion of trying to get her grandmother the best present didn’t seem to matter as much anymore.

Ever since Heather’s father passed on, Demi ostracized her family and never cared about them.

For the rest of the night, no one spoke. The next day, Alex woke up early and quickly went to Stanley’s room to heal his internal injuries by practicing therapy.

After a few hours, his internal injuries healed substantially, and his skills had improved.

He felt rejuvenated.

Demi’s birthday banquet wasn’t until ten o’clock. With two hours to spare, he decided to make some breakfast.

It was around nine o’clock when the other three woke up.

After they finished their breakfast, they all hopped into Alex’s car and headed for Jennings Residence.

“It would have been nice if this car was yours,” Carmen said, sitting in the passenger seat, feeling both envious yet disappointed at the same time.

They could not even afford a car ever since her husband died.

“Sis, why don’t you buy a car? Don’t you still have a million left?” Lucas suggested enthusiastically while he glanced at Heather, who was in the front passenger seat.

Each time he went out to pick up girls, none was interested because he did not own a car.

He had always wanted to buy one but could not afford to.

Swayed by Lucas’s suggestion, Carmen looked at Heather too. It was embarrassing that their family did not own a car.

“Forget about it. The money is for Stanley to buy a house in the future. When you get your bonus next month, you can buy a car with your own money,” Heather did not hesitate to reply.

Knowing that the company would be giving them a bonus in the next month, Lucas and Carmen relented on the matter.

In any case, Lucas had a ten percent stake in the company, and according to the forecasted growth of the family business, he would be able to earn at least a few hundreds of thousands.
