Chapter 390


    He was nning on impressing Courtney with his financial power, but if Patek Philippe was involved,


    then he could only afford two to three of their low to mid-end watches at most. How the f*ck is that


    supposed to impress anyone?


    Zeke was annoyed, while Catherine was beaming with delight. She had wanted to buy a luxury watch


    for a while now, but she was worried Zeke might scold her if she asked for it. Now that Kingsley and


    Courtney had gone into that shop, she could see herself owning a luxury watch soon, and she felt like


    screaming with joy. "Let''s go, darling." She held Zeke''s hand and humbly requested, "I''d like to get a


    watch too."


    Zeke frowned and got himself an excuse. "Um, I don''t have my card on me, and we need to get Mrs.


    Hewitt her birthday gift."

    Oh no, he''s backing out. Catherine quickly said, "I''m fine with their cheapest model. I''m just buying it for


    the brand, so any model is fine with me. And their women''s watches are famous. It''s perfect for Mrs.


    Hewitt."


    Zeke considered that idea. It was Mrs. Hewitt''s sixtieth birthday today. She was the wife of Sris


    Bank''s president, Walter Hewitt. The man was not only Diosna''s financial industry leader, but he was a


    member of the local government too. Furthermore, two years ago, his son died on the battlefield saving


    a bigshot. A military official had gone to his home and bequeathed their family the title of ''The Hero''s


    Family''. Ever since then, the Hewitts became the undisputed legend in Diosna, and everyone in the


    business and political scene respected them.


    Thanks to that, everyone was trying their best to impress the Hewitts during this event, particrly


    Walter. The Penas were not excluded, of course. However, Zeke''s father was abroad for a business trip


    at the moment, and he could not make it back in time. Hence, he gave Zeke thirty grand to buy Mrs.


    Hewitt''s gift. Zeke would then attend the birthday banquet and present the gift on his father''s behalf.


    He was still thinking about the kind of gift he should get, and Catherine''s suggestion gave him a stroke


    of inspiration. "You''re right. A Patek Philippe watch is a decent choice." He said, "My Dad gave me


    thirty grand. You can get something that costs forty-five hundred at most. I''ll need to buy something


    better for Mrs. Hewitt."


    Delighted, Catherine wrapped her arms around his neck and gushed, "Thank you, darling! You''re the


    best!"


    Zeke pushed her away and chuckled. "Let''s go. We don''t wanna waste any more time. Those losers


    might back out any moment now. They can''t afford watches like these."


    "Yeah! There''s no way they can afford Patek Philippe, but we can! We''ll buy the watches right in front of


    them! I can already imagine the looks on their faces. It''s going to be priceless!"


    Zeke and Catherine chuckled evilly and went into the shop.


    At the same time, Courtney was staring at the shiny watches, and her eyes were gleaming. "My, they''re


    beautiful."


    The sales assistant, who was in an obviously expensive uniform, smiled. "Our brand prides itself on the


    fusion of elegant art and luxuryponents. Every watch has a little story behind its creation."


    Courtney was blushing with excitement. She pointed at a golden watch for men and asked, "How much


    does this cost?"


    "It''s a mechanical watch releasedst year," the sales assistant said. "It costs two hundred and forty


    grand."


    "Two hundred and forty grand?"


    Courtney pursed her lips. She was about to say something, but Kingsley was faster. "I thought we


    agreed on getting a watch for you first, Courtney."
