Chapter 1388

“Nigel, how dare you accuse my gift of being a cheap, man–made jadeite? Don’t say anything if you don’t know the whole truth!” Leon shot Nigel a displeased look.

“Well, you know full well whether I’m telling the truth or not! Let me show you what a pure jadeite looks like!

Nigel sneered as he opened his gift box and took out his jadeite statue.

Although the jadeite statue Nigel prepared was less than half the size of Leon’s, it was clear and transparent with no added patterns to it at all–one could tell that it was a piece of stone of the highest utmost clarity!

“This is a cream–clear jadeite!”

“Yes, you’re right. The clarity seems to be of top–notch quality, and I might go as far as to say this is ice- clear jadeite! I’m certain this must cost at least millions of dollars!”

The audience gasped in awe at this.

Cream–clear jadeites were much more common than Four–Colored ones, and it was evident that the jadeite Nigel prepared was certainly of the highest possible quality!

“Did you hear that, Leon? Everyone can tell that my jadeite is a genuine, valuable one, unlike your cheap, synthetic one!” Nigel smiled triumphantly.

Although he and Leon prepared the same gift by coincidence, it was clear who won this round. He was certain that the gift Leon prepared was a counterfeit stone, and he was determined to humiliate Leon in front of everyone!

“So what?” Leon was amused by Nigel’s naivety.

“What do you mean, so what? It’s my great–uncle’s eightieth birthday, and yet you prepared a counterfeit product worth only a few hundred dollars at most as his present! Are you looking down on my great–uncle, and us Scammells as well?” Nigel sneered.

“That’s right! That fella has given such a cheap gift and humiliated the Scammells in front of everyone!” the audience piped up, turning to glance at Leon and Patrick with expressions of disdain.

“Um,” the color drained from Patrick’s face when he sensed everyone’s eyes on him. After the gift Damian and the others gave him, he was initially in a pleasant mood, but Leon’s gift was so terrible that he was utterly humiliated in front of everyone!

Even though it was the thought that counted, the Scammells were still an ancient and powerful family, and certainly, the value of a gift mattered just as much!

Leon was his future grandson–in–law, for God’s sake–how could he possibly embarrass him in front of everyone with a cheap gift? This would turn him and the rest of the Scammells into the entire city’s laughingstock!

One could only imagine Patrick’s rage at this realization!

“What are you doing, Leon? You could’ve prepared a better gift for such a joyous occasion. How can you be so cheap?” Damian’s face was as white as a ghost. He and Leon already agreed that if Leon got on Patrick’s good side, he would help convince Patrick into selling one of their pharmaceutical companies to Leon, but now, not only did Leon fail to do so, he even angered Patrick with his cheap, measly gift!

Not even Damian could drag him out of this hole even if he wanted!
