“Hello, who is this?” The voice on the other end of the phone was originallyzy. When he heard
Matthew speak, he instantly jolted and sat up straight. “It’s you, Mr. Grant. You rarely call. How can I
help you?
Matthew exined his purpose and asked, “Can you do it?”
The other speaker grinned. “Mr. Grant, you‘
derestimated me. This is easy.
Besides, even if it’s difficult, I will handle it beautifully for your sake. However, I’m a little curious.
ording to what you said, she’s just an inexperienced country woman. Why would you take time
out of your busy day to deal with her? Who is she?”
Matthew nced at Valerie’s departing back. He said in a low voice, “Ex–mother–in-w.”
The other speaker almost choked. He had been in Kranson City for so many years, but did not
know when Matthew got married. When he was about to ask, Matthew had hung up the phone. He
only said, “Thanks for your help.”
On the other end of the line, the man yed with the phone yfully. A student came over curiously
and asked, “Sir, who was the person who answered the call just now that made you so respectful?”
The man smiled leisurely. “It’s a call from the most honorable man in Kranson City. Of course, we
have to show him respect. Let’s go. Come with me. We have big business today…”
After most of the guests had left, the party was almost over.
Ruth personally sent Marcus back to his house and even bought a lot of gifts for him. As Jim had an
argument with Aiden over toys today, to please Marcus, she specially bought toys for Jim. “Aiden’s
toy is used. I will buy you a new one.”
However, when Ruth arrived at the mall, she was instantly dumbfounded when she saw thetest
model of the same toy. She thought that a toy would at most cost forty dors, but the toy cost 360
dors. It was almost as expensive as the gifts she

had just bought.

However, Ruth was the one who had pronised. She could only bite the bullet and pay. Jim took the
new toy and ran away without even thanking her.
Ruth was unhappy, but she did not dare to offend Marcus. She did not dare to say anything until
they were about to go home Then, she asked indirectly, “Marcus, you promised to arrange a job for
your brothw. Don’t forget. We’re family anyway. You can rest assured if you hire family.”
Marcus was slightly tipsy from the alcohol and nodded his head repeatedly. “Alright. I’ll remember.”
However, he did not say when he would arrange it or what position he would arrange.
After Marcus left, Ruth secretly nned to bring Julian over tomorrow and let Julian bribe Marcus
more. However, Julian’s stubbornness sometimes made people angry. He did not curry favor with
his inws and had to live a poor life.
Speaking of which, Julian was usually close to Valerie. Ruth wondered if Valerie had brainwashed
Julian.
Thinking of this, Ruth was filled with anger again. Unexpectedly, when she returned home, she
heard happy news. The vige was recording an appraisal program and a gentleman hade to
buy authentic artifacts.
Ruth’s sister–inw said, “Ruth, didn’t you just get a top–grade gold vase? Why don’t you send it
over for authentication?”
Ruth knew the price of the gold vase. After all, the authentication certificate clearly stated it was
worth 17.6 thousand dors. However, only a few people knew about this. If it were on the show,
everyone in the neighborhood would know about it. Ruth loved to show off. She immediately carried
the gold vase over.
The production team had gathered people from the nearby viges. They could all participate.
Halfway through filming, they heard a hugemotion outside. The directors and production team
came out to take a look and saw a chubby middle–aged woman holding something in her arms. She
insisted on cutting the queue and refused to wait in line. She even shouted, “My treasure is different
