Chapter 83


    Manny Lowe was also scared out of her wits. Since the three of them hade together, she was


    also responsible for this mess.


    Her husband also ran his ownpany, with a total profit of about three million dors a year. In


    addition, her daughter ran a restaurant, so it was no problem to fork out a few million dors. But


    the key point was that people said that it would cost seven million dors at least. How much would


    it cost in actuality? Ten million dors? Twenty million dors? The sky was the limit.


    Manny didn''t dare to think about it anymore.


    The woman in hot pants was dumbfounded. She looked down at the broken pieces on the floor and


    thought, "These things are actually so valuable?"


    "Please wait for a moment. I''ll contact our boss. You canpensate him after I check with him!"


    The receptionist said.


    "No, I don''t have that much money."


    The woman with tight jeans got up from the ground. If she called her husband, she would not be


    able to keep her marriage. She would be beaten up and kicked by her husband, and she would


    never defend herself.


    "Sorry, this vase was broken by three of you, so you mustpensate for it!" The receptionist was


    serious now.


    She took out the walkie-talkie and prepared to contact the boss.


    The woman with the tight jeans was scared out of her wits. She was crying even harder, and her


    makeup was ruined. She was very desperate.


    "Manny, ask Zelda toe over. She must know the boss here personally since she is so


    sessful," the woman with hot pants said in a hurry.


    Manny came to her senses and quickly called Zelda Maine on the phone. Soon, her daughter


    answered the phone. "Mom, I have something to deal with at my restaurant. Wait a minute, I''ll be


    thereter..."


    "No, that''s not it." Manny was so anxious that she was about to cry.


    "What''s wrong? Mom? What happened?" Zelda became nervous.


    "I… I’m at the Hill Hotel with thedies. We broke an antique vase here, and they said it is worth at


    least seven million dors..." Manny burst into tears. She really felt wronged.


    Seven million dors was alright. But what if it was twenty million dors?


    "Mom, please wait for me. I''ll be right there! I''ll be right there!"


    The phone hung up!


    The three women stood up from the ground with each other''s help and wiped each other''s tears.


    Now, they were so scared that they leaned against the corner and did not dare to speak at all.


    At the front desk, the receptionist had already begun to contact the hotel owner.


    At this time, a Rolls-Royce arrived at the entrance. The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a


    suit walked in. He looked elegant with a string of antique beads on his wrist, which was particrly


    eye-catching. At first nce, it was obvious he was a rich man who collected antiques.


    He came in and said to the receptionist, "I mean, Miss Carson, where is your boss? Let me have a


    good talk with him. How many times have Ie here? Let him sell me the blue-and-white


    porcin he’s been using to decorate his hotel. Somehow, he never agrees to it. How can such a


    treasure be put in such a ce? If it is identally broken, it will be a waste of the treasure! Call


    your boss over and this time I will offer 30 million to buy the blue-and-white porcin. See if he sells


    it to me, if he insists not too, I will no longer be his friend!!!"


    "30 million?"


    The woman with the tight jeans was scared silly. She sat down on the ground again and couldn''t


    stop her tears from falling. She was devastated at hearing those words.


    Manny was shocked too. 30 million? Oh my God! It''s so expensive. These vases were so expensive


    that they were worth more than her daughter’s restaurant chain!


    Manny cried pitifully. She was so upset. How could this have happened?


    The woman with hot pants widened her eyes and was caught in a distressed daze.


    The middle-aged man came in and saw the broken pieces of china on the ground. He was stunned,


    his face was ashen as if he had lost a child!


    "Director Smith, this blue-and-white porcin can''t be sold."


    The receptionist was helpless. Since this rich man hade to the hotel the first time, he had taken


    interest in this blue-and-white porcin vase. From the first offer of ten million dors to the twenty-


    eight million dors thest time, the hotel owner did not agree to selling it at all, but today the rich


    man had actually offered thirty million dors...


    "Who the hell broke it! There are only ten of such blue-and-white porcin vases in the whole


    country, but one of them has been broken by you! I''ll beat you to death!" The middle-aged man


    red at Manny and the other two!


    Manny and the other twodies were already very frightened. Now that they were scolded by the


    middle-aged man, the three women were so upset that they cried at the same time. They held on to


    each other and did not dare to speak.


    "I''ve been taking a fancy to this blue-and-white porcin for several years, and I can''t believe you


    guys have done this!" The middle-aged man roared, and the more he shouted, the angrier he


    became.


    "Director Smith, please calm down." The receptionist had to say so, otherwise, it would affect the


    other guests.


    "Where is your boss? How much are they going topensate him?" the middle-aged man asked.


    "The boss hasn''t called back yet... Wait, the boss has called back. Wait a minute!"

    The receptionist took out the mobile phone and answered the phone. She immediately nodded and


    said, "Boss, you said 35 million dors, right? Okay, boss, don''t worry. I''ll make them pay for it..."


    After the phone call, Manny and the other two cried even more loudly. The woman with the tight


    jeans was already stunned. So much money, even if she were to sell herself, it would not be enough


    to pay that staggering amount!


    Manny cried continuously, feeling extremely aggrieved.


    Her husband had said that it was invaluable, and it would only be more and more expensive as they


    spoke. Now it was 35 million dors? Even if they were to share the burden, she would have to fork


    out 10 million dors, which would damage her family''s wealth significantly.


    "35 million? It''s so kind of your boss. If it were me, I would have beaten them to death!"


    The middle-aged man pondered and suddenly said, "I''ll give them one million, no, two million! I''ll


    give them two million!"


    The receptionist said, "Director Smith, what are you..."


    Manny and the other two were dumbfounded. What was he going to do?


    "It’s nothing. I''ll pay them two million dors. Give me all the pieces. Don''t miss any of them. Go and


    pack all of them for me. I''ll go and find someone to piece them together."


    "What? But it is broken, Director Smith!" The receptionist was also confused.


    No matter how valuable the antique was, it had to be in good condition to keep its value. To put it


    bluntly, the broken vase here was just a pile of rubbish, which should be thrown away!


    But this rich man offered two million for it?


    Manny and the other twodies were even more shocked. At the same time, they cried even more


    desperately. He was willing to use two million to buy a pile of broken shards, which could only mean


    that this blue-and-white porcin vase was really worth 35 million!


    "I know. That''s it. I''ll transfer money to your boss right away. Anyway, it''s all the same for me."


    Before the receptionist could react, the middle-aged man immediately called to ask his assistant to


    transfer the money.


    He rushed out and took out a box from the car. As soon as he came over, he began to collect the


    pieces of debris carefully, not letting go of any minute shard.


    The receptionist was silent at first. Then, she became serious and said, "You three can discuss it.


    Director Smith has paid 2 million, and the remaining 33 million still has to be forked out by you.


    Please raise the money to solve the problem!"


    "No, I don''t have that much money, I don''t..." The woman in tight-fitting jeans cried sadly and


    desperately.


    The receptionist frowned.


    At this time, Zelda Maine, who drove over, quickly came in the lobby. Manny and the other two


    ladies cried even harder.


    "Mom, don''t cry." Zelda walked over.


    "My girl..." Manny wailed.


    "Zelda... We... Boohoo..."


    Zelda sighed. When she saw the rich man picking up fragments on the ground, she felt distressed.


    She asked, "How much money do you need?"


    "33 million," the receptionist replied promptly.


    Zelda was shocked that it was so expensive. When she drove over, she thought it was worth about


    ten million, but she didn''t expect to have to pay so much money. As it was thirty million, she didn''t


    have so much cash, and she couldn''t sell the restaurant either.


    Manny saw that her daughter''s face had turned pale, and she was crying harder. "Zelda... I''m


    sorry..."


    "It''s alright, I''ll think of a way now," Zelda said with a bitter smile.


    "Zelda, don''t you know this hotel’s boss?" asked the woman with tight jeans.


    Zelda shook her head. She didn''t know him personally. The owner of this hotel was super rich. She


    was not at the same social status as he was. How could she have known him?


    "What should we do? Why don''t... Why don''t we look for your boyfriend? He might know the boss


    here?"


    "Yes, call your boyfriend and ask him."


    The three women suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.


    Zelda was silent. She hesitated. "Wouldn’t this bring trouble for Chuck? But what can I do?" She


    sighed and took out her mobile phone and called Chuck.
