Chapter 14


    Chapter 14 Not Enough


    "Happy? You must be kidding me, my pig cousin.As long as you''re alive, I won''t let you off so easily."


    Xander had always hated Sett since childhood.He was often second in everything because of his


    cousin.


    Sett was good at both academics and sports, so the family elders always praised him.


    These invoke Xander''s jealousy and envy toward him.


    After Sett''s parents were kicked out of the Crossword family, Xander and his cousin Amanda, who also


    hated Sett, wouldn''t let go of the opportunity to suppress him and teach him a lesson.

    "Stop talking, the family head has arrived!"


    At this time, everyone stood up and pped as an elderly man wearing sharp attire was apanied


    by the Crossword family elders.He was heading toward the officials and the guest of honor table.


    This elderly man was none other than the Crossword family head— "Francisco Crossword"—and also


    Sett''s grandfather.


    "Don Francisco, I wish you great health and prosperity for your Crossword family.It''s truly unfortunate


    that my gift to you is so shabby inparison to the others.I hope you won''t take it against me as a


    business partner!"


    A middle-aged man with a potbelly embraces Francisco cheerfully.


    "Of course, I won''t take it against you, Director Lowell!"


    Francisco smiled while passing a ss of wine toward the middle-aged director, Lowell.


    "By the way, are you interested in doing business with a prestigious family? I want you to know that this


    is no small project; it''s different from my other business since I will be working with the Laker family! If


    we could get a contract with their recent campaign, we could easily earn a hundred million dors, and


    that''s only the initial profit! Also, I heard they are recruiting aspiring models.What''s more, they are


    inviting famous celebrities to present theirpany!"


    Director Lowell blurted out as he lifted the corner of his lips.He then took a sip of the wine.


    "What! You mean we can cooperate with the Laker family?"


    Francisco''s eyes lit up; he had been dreaming about cooperating with the Laker family.


    This was a great opportunity for him and his Crossword family! Unlike his family, which was regarded


    as second -rate in Darian City.


    The Lakers were regarded as first-rate.


    Lowell had already expected Francisco to immediately agree.


    Moreover, his offer was a lucrative deal for Francisco.It was a huge pie that a second-rate family


    couldn''t deny.


    If this project went through, he and Francisco would be able to meet famous actresses and increase


    their exposure in the entertainment industry! And that''s not all.


    There was a hidden benefit that men like him would want to take a bite of.


    Those aspiring models and actresses would be willing to spread their legs just to gain the support of


    investors like him.


    Hehe! Just thinking about it made him drool.


    After Francisco''s conversation with Lowell, his mood greatly increased, so he took the main seat.It was


    a tradition that was passed down in the family that the juniors would present gifts to the family head on


    their birthday to gain his favor.


    The first ones to give their gifts were Madam ire and her husband, Tom.


    "Father-inw, me and ire decided to gift you with this pair of Jade bracelets."


    "Huh? Isn''t that thetest craft of the famous artisan Mr.Mill? Wow! I didn''t know that it was ire and


    Tom who brought it! No wonder I didn''t see it in Laurel''s jewelry store anymore."


    "Oh my, they really did it! One of those jade bracelets could easily set you back $50,000! With two of


    them in total, it''s a hundred thousand dors! How envious."


    After offering and giving their gifts, Sett''s other uncles and aunts also gave their gifts.


    Aside from the gifts from Madam ire and Tom, the other gifts seemed to be subpar.


    The frown on Francisco''s face was a clear indication that he was disappointed.


    "Father, I almost forgot, as ording to seniority, elder brother Charles should give his gift now, and as


    the eldest brother, the gift had to be expensive! It looks to me like my elder brother, Charles, is not


    present.Then these two siblings should have brought Elder Brother''s gift with them!"


    Madam ire raised her voice as she exined.


    Because of her words, everyone''s eyes darted at Sett.


    "What do you say, my nephew Sett?""


    Sett didn''t immediately answer, and only when everyone became impatient with waiting did he start


    saying something.


    "You guys don''t have to worry.I will fetch a gift to represent my family''s sincerity, but it would take some


    time for the Treasure Pce to deliver my family gift to grandfather."


    Abruptly Xanderughed mockingly.


    ''''Heh, I know lots of people like him, pretending to be capable.I doubt he had anything decent as a gift


    for his grandfather.What a pretentious bastard.He''ll only make aughing stock out of himself! A real


    loser, he is destined to be unable to achieve anything great in life.He should just hang himself!"


    "My dear nephew, why don''t youe forward and tell us the truth that you didn''t bring any gifts for


    your grandfather!" Madam ire cackled on the side.


    "Brother Sett, it''s not that we are badmouthing you or anything, it''s just that we know how poor your


    parents are now, not to mention you...I''m a hundred percent sure that whatever my gift is fake." Xander


    sniggered.


    Just then, a young man came rushing toward the center, and soon everyone recognized him as the


    family butler.


    At first, Francisco was displeased, evident by the frown on his face after his speech was interrupted.It


    was his trusted butler.


    His expression returned to normal.He understood his butler''s personality.He wouldn''t do something like


    this if it wasn''t extremely important.


    In a brief moment, the butler whispered something into Francisco''s ears.


    Gradually, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly stood up.


    "I would like to wee a special guest.Everyone should be respectful since our guest has a


    prominent background.Remember, don''t create trouble for our new guest."


    Francisco, the family''s head, sweeps his gaze through the crowd, pausing for a brief moment to look at


    Sett.


    Just then, his eyes darted to the entrance gate as everyone heard an engine roaring, catching


    everyone''s attention.


    At that point, a sports car entered, then someone gasped.


    "Isn''t that thetest version of Phantom? Wow! How envious.This has been my dream car, but s, I


    don''t have the money to buy one.Sadly, its price is nearing a million dors, an astronomical amount....I


    would be better off just looking from afar!"


    "The owner of the Phantom must be a second-generation wealthy man, then! If I could have such a


    boyfriend, I wouldn''t have to worry for life!" A woman with a decent appearance chimed in.
