Chapter 105 It''S My Respect
Chapter 105 It''s My Respect
The quality of this raw stone was simply top-notch, but there seemed to be some traces of previous
cutting on it.
Although it had been polished, people can still see it.
Cara''s eyes lit up when she saw this raw stone. She likes jade, so she knew a little about raw
stones.
Daniel''s birthday gift really moved her.
"Mrs. Lowe, my boss brought this raw stone back from Moclington and rewarded me for my good
performance! I heard that you like jade, so I specially brought it over to give to you! With the quality
of this raw stone, there is an 80% chance that a top-quality jade can be cut out from it. You can
choose whatever you like when the timees." Daniel said with a smile.
"Auntie, they say that this raw stone can sell for millions. Daniel wishes you well and put in a lot of
effort." Ellie held onto Daniel proudly as she spoke.
"Daniel is thoughtful! But it''s too expensive; let''s forget about it!"
Although Cara was tempted, she still refused. What would people think if her sister''s future son-in-
law gave such an expensive birthday gift? If she epted it herself, then wouldn''t they appear
inferior?
"Don''t refuse! It''s just the younger generation expressing their gratitude; don''t be polite!" Celine tried
to persuade her while showing off at the same time.
But both Celine and Cannon were cursing inside because they didn''t expect Daniel to be so
generous as to give such a good piece of raw stone to Cara instead of keeping it for himself...
However since he had already given away the gift and they hade today specifically to show off
their superiorityplex again... it wouldn''t look good if Daniel took back his present now!
Just then someone sneered, "Of course there are many more like these - just pieces of scrap."
L looked at the rock with disdain while Miranda showed suspicion on her beautiful face as if
thinking about something else entirely...
Hearing these words made Daniel angry; pointing at L he shouted, "What did you say?
Scrap? Anyone with half an eye could tell that this is top-grade material! There''s an 80% chance
we''ll get high-quality jade outta here!"
"You''re just jealous because you couldn''t afford anything nice yourself!"
"Just so! You, what kind of birthday gift did you prepare for your mother-inw? I''m afraid it''s not
presentable, right? Do you have the nerve to speak?" Celine taunted.
Celine''s husband joined in, mocking, "Right!"
"Very well," L nodded calmly without a trace of hesitation.
The next moment, he opened a wooden box he was holding and carefully took out a jade Buddha,
about the size of a newborn baby, encrusted with gold.
"Mrs. Lowe, this is a jade Buddha carved from the finest Emperor Green jade. It''s my birthday gift to
you. I wish you a happy birthday," L said, holding the jade Buddha in his hands as he
presented it to Cara.
Seeing this jade Buddha, everyone in the room, except for Miranda, disyed expressions of
astonishment. Cara, in particr, was overjoyed.
The jade Buddha was incredibly translucent and exquisitely rounded, a delight to behold. The gold
trim was seamless and extraordinarily fine in craftsmanship.
Celine''s family stared at this jade Buddha with expressions of disbelief. How could a son-inw who
had just married into the family produce a piece of fine Emperor Green jade? It seemed impossible.
"What Emperor Green jade? Are you kidding us? This is such arge jade Buddha. If it were
genuinely carved from Emperor Green jade, it would be worth at least 10 million!" Daniel scoffed.
"L, where did you find this fake? I deal with jade and gemstones every day, and I can tell at a
nce that this jade Buddha is a fake."
"Just so! Talking about Emperor Green jade carvings? You''re really bold! Cara, does your son-in-
law think you''re a fool?" Celine added, looking disdainful.
Hearing this, Cara''s eyes filled with doubt.

"Regardless of whether it''s genuine or fake, it''s the thought that counts," she reasoned.
Cara also found it highly improbable. Thisrge jade Buddha was undoubtedly invaluable. If she
were to consider that L managed to acquire such an expensive gift, she couldn''t believe it.
Saying this, the still charming mother-inw shot L a stern look. She wasn''t eager to inspect
the jade Buddha closely, perhaps fearing that Celine''s family might scrutinize it and expose
L''s ims.
"Mom, this jade Buddha is genuine. Mr. Ellis from Ellis'' Jewellery Group gave it to L!"
At this moment, Miranda felt a bit indignant for L.
"Well, I know!"
However, Cara seemed to not have listened and waved her hand dismissively. She gave her
daughter a look to stop Miranda from saying anything more and embarrassing herself.
Mr. Ellis of Ellis'' Jewellery Group gave something to L? Who did he think he was?
"Hehe, I really don''t know who''s fake here - you or me? If I''m not mistaken, you work at Monty''s
Jade Wholesale Group right? Your boss is Monty, isn''t it?" But at this moment, L smiled
nonchntly and asked Daniel.
Daniel was stunned for a moment before proudly nodding his head. "That''s right! Mr. Atkinson is the
biggest jade wholesaler in Kreanford. I had the honor of gaining Mr. Atkinson''s favor and bing
the warehouse manager under him."
As he spoke, his tone changed as he apologized to Cara with a smile, "Oh yeah! Ourpany is
also having dinner here today so I have to go toast Mr. Atkinson too! Mrs. Lowe, I gave you my gift
but now I must be going."
"Okay then! Since Mr. Atkinson favors you so much then you can''t miss it," said Ellie waving her
hand.
Celine and Cannon urged Daniel on as well telling him not to dy things any further since their
goal had already been achieved - they made sure that this future son-inw was thoroughly a show-
off.
However, at that moment, L stopped Daniel, saying, "No need to rush off. Later, Mr. Atkinson
wille over to propose a toast to my mother-inw. Wouldn''t it be better if you and your boss
leave together?"
With augh, Daniel responded, "Bro, are you telling a joke? Mr. Atkinsoning down to propose
a toast to Mrs. Lowe? Haha... Even though I have Mr. Atkinson''s favor, I don''t have that kind of
prestige!"
"It''s not about your prestige but mine," replied L in a low voice.
Upon hearing these words, everyone burst intoughter including Ellie, Celine and Cannon . They
were all amused by what they heard from L who was trying hard to save face despite being
called out earlier by everyone else present in the room.
"What kind of joke is this?"
"Where did your prestigee from?"
"Miranda, did your husband graduate fromedy school or something?"
"A guy like him talking about saving face here?" Even Cara and Emmanuel red angrily at
L at that point.
"Enough, L! Don''t you think you''ve embarrassed us enough?" Emmanuel mmed his hand
on the table and shouted in anger.
"Dad, L is telling the truth! Mr. Atkinson said he''sing to toast my momter!" Miranda bit
her lip and raised her voice in response to the mocking of her aunt''s family.
"Miranda, shut up! There''s no need to save face for this useless guy. How did you learn to talk so
much nonsense?" Cara scolded angrily.
Both she and Emmanuel were now red-faced and felt ashamed of their son-inw L. They
couldn''t even lift their heads up!
Initially, they didn''t dislike L as much. In fact, after a few visits, they had even started to
change their opinion of him. However, today when Celine''s family showed up with Daniel, it seemed
like theypletely threw L into the gutter.
This son-inw had be a disgrace for both of them!
Knock! Knock! Knock...
At that moment there was a soft knock on the door outside the private room as if afraid of disturbing
those inside and making them feel disrespected.
"Excuse me, is this Mrs. Lowe''s birthday private room? I''m Monty from Jade Wholesale. I came
here uninvited to raise a toast!"
"I don''t know if it''s convenient for you to let mee in or not."
