Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 553: Chapter 553 Birthday Gift_1

When Quella Radcliffe and Anna Harris returned to the exhibition hall, their facial expressions were completely different.

Quella Radcliffe was sizing up Sophia Leocadia, constantly calculating in her mind.

Meanwhile, Anna Harris continued her photo-taking tour.

Just then, the sound of something shattering suddenly filled the air.

The entire exhibition hall fell silent.

Looking towards the source of the noise, there stood Anna Harris holding up her hand in surprise, and at her feet lay a shattered jade bracelet.

It was broken into three pieces.

“Oh, my God!”

Jack Lau squatted on the ground lamenting, “130 million, just like that, gone!”

“I… I didn’t mean it…”

Anna Harris’s face turned pale.

All she did was turn around, not expecting to bump into the bracelet Jack Lau was holding.

And now it was shattered like this.

When she heard the bracelet was worth 130 million, she was instantly stunned.

Her mind went blank.

“Jack, that was supposed to be the birthday gift for your mother, what now?”

Thompson bent down, chiming in very cooperatively.

“We’re done for now, my dad is going to kill me!”

Jack Lau stood up holding the broken bracelet, looking at Anna Harris in front of him: “Miss, what do you plan to do now?”

“I…”

Anna Harris blinked, unsure how to respond.

Compensate?

130 million, what could she possibly use to compensate?

Even if she sold everything she owned, she couldn’t come up with a fraction of that amount!

In a panic, she almost started to cry.

Why was she so unlucky!

Seeing Anna Harris’s expression, both Jack Lau and Thompson’s lips curved into a smirk.

Just as they had guessed, this young girl in front of them had no assets to speak of.

Seeing her panic, Thompson decided to add fuel to the fire.

“Otherwise, let’s call the police. It’s better to let the police handle this kind of thing.”

“But… but if she can’t afford to compensate, she could end up spending at least ten years in prison!”

Jack Lau looked troubled, “Such a beautiful young lady, if she stays in prison for ten years, she might not come out the same. Such a waste!”

“That long…”

Anna Harris felt her legs weaken, nearly fainting from fright.

130 million, she truly didn’t have that much money.

If she were to be sued, the thought of herself languishing in prison was so overwhelming she wished she were dead!

“What can be done, you don’t know her, with such a huge sum, if we don’t call the police, how do we deal with the loss?”

Thompson angrily looked at Jack Lau, “I know you fell for this Eastern girl at first sight, but please keep your senses!”

“Thompson, my affairs are none of your business! Although the money is precious, perhaps there’s another way to solve this.”

Jack Lau pointed back at Thompson, speaking with fierce words!

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel, Anna Harris cried out, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault, call the police, I’ll take responsibility for the trouble I’ve caused.”

“Actually, there might be a way to solve this problem!”

Thompson suddenly spoke up.

“What method?”

When Anna Harris heard this, she seemed to see hope.

“Jack, is this bracelet the birthday gift you wanted to give your mom?”

Thompson spoke up and asked.

“That’s right! This money I borrowed from a brother to give my mom a surprise. Why are you asking about this now when the bracelet is already broken! Completely broken! My mom’s birthday gift has turned into junk!”

Jack Lau said angrily, his eyes filled with pain as he looked at the bracelet.

“I’m sorry…”

Anna Harris couldn’t hold back, and tears streamed down her face suddenly.

The amount was too vast; she felt completely powerless.

“Since you wanted to give your mom a birthday gift, I have a better idea!”

Thompson said with a smile, “Your mom’s birthday is three months away, and what she most wishes to see is that you have found a beautiful wife and given her a grandson. Otherwise, no one in your family will be able to inherit the wealth.”

“Thompson, what are you talking about! I also know my mom wants to hold a grandchild, but she’s very picky, a regular woman wouldn’t catch her eye!”

Jack Lau said with some irritation, “What time is it now, and you still have the mood to talk about this? Hurry up and help me think of a solution to this problem!”

As he spoke, he sighed and continued, “My mom has three sons, whoever lets her hold a grandchild first will inherit the wealth! Now my brothers seem to all have girlfriends, I was thinking of gifting a bracelet to win my mom’s favor, but now…”

“Jack! Are you an idiot?”

Thompson shook his head, “Compared to a bracelet, I think your mom would be happier to see you bring home a pregnant girlfriend.”

“The problem is, I can’t find one she approves of! My mom is very selective; unless she looks like this lady here, otherwise…”

Saying this, Jack Lau suddenly stopped short.

“Hmm! If this lady is willing to be your girlfriend, not only can she enjoy wealth and glory in the future, today’s bracelet issue can be completely forgotten as if it had never happened.”

Thompson finished speaking, looking toward Anna Harris, “Miss, what do you think?”

In fact, the bracelet was fake.

They used this scheme to deceive countless young girls.

After all, any normal person would be stunned by the price of over one hundred million in such a noble setting.

At that moment, both sides would perform a coordinated deceit, hinting that by following them, one could marry into a wealthy family and live a life of luxury and splendor.

The huge contrast made many girls fall for it.

But Anna Harris was not that kind of person.

“No, I can’t. I don’t even know him. You should call the police; I would rather go to jail.”

Anna Harris shook her head decisively.

She was stubborn and strong-willed, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become Quella Radcliffe’s best friend.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Miss, won’t you reconsider?”

Thompson asked, frowning, “Heaven in one thought, hell in the next. Between marrying into a wealthy family and sitting in jail, why wouldn’t you choose the former?”

“Yes, miss, I promise you, as long as you are pregnant with my child, you will certainly enjoy wealth and splendor,”

Jack Lau chimed in supportingly, “My family has assets worth tens of billions; the future belongs to us. And from the first moment I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. I hope you will consider it seriously.”

He pinched the broken bracelet in his hand.

His eyes were intently fixed on Anna Harris.

“Sorry, I can’t do it.”

Anna Harris shook her head again and then lowered her head.

“Well then, I choose to call the police, Jack, if you can’t bear to do it, I will!”

Thompson took out his mobile phone, about to dial the emergency number.

“No, let her think it over again.”

Jack Lau stopped Thompson with his hand.

“Haha, what a great performance,”

Just then, Julius Reed approached with Quella Radcliffe, and as he looked at the two American men, he laughed, “Go ahead, call the police, I would think less of you if you didn’t.”
