Chapter 1083 Limited Edition Cigarettes
It was winter solstice celebration at the Smiths'' residence in Channing.
Everyone was gathered at the Smith family home for the holiday as they prepared for dinner
together.
Nathan, Penny, and her family also arrived at the Smith family home to spend the holiday with
Sean.
At the moment, Sean was receiving a very important guest with his sons Samuel, Benson, and
Paul.
It was his family friend, Keith Johnson.
Their families had been close since their grandparents'' generation, and Sean and Keith even grew
up together.
The only thing that had changed was that the Smiths opted to stay in the small town of Channing
while the Johnsons had scaled the socialdder rapidly over the past 20 years.
Keith had been working in Brimmopolis''s Industry and Commerce Bureau ever since he graduated
from university. From then on, he slowly climbed up the socialdder and finally became the director
of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
The Johnsons then moved to Brimmopolis and made a fortune there.
After the Johnsons rose to the top, they rarelymunicated with the Smiths anymore. They also
rarely invite the Smiths over for dinner.
This time, Keith had retired and decided to return home. He heard about Penny''s outstanding
achievements in the business world and decided to seize this opportunity to pay Sean a visit.
Sean was surprised and happy about Keith''s visit. He gave Keith a warm wee together with his
three sons.
Keith was a high-ranking official from Brimmopolis in Sean''s eyes. Although he had retired, he still
had connections, so Keith was a bigshot to whom Sean felt he must butter up.
Sean asked with a wide smile, "Keith, what ns do you have now after retiring?"
Keith replied, "I may have retired, but my connections are still around and I still have some say at
the Bureau. I''m back in Channing because I wanted to contribute to my hometown''s economy."
With that, he took out a packet of limitededition cigarettes and offered one each to Sean, Samuel,
Benson, and Paul.
Sean and his sons quickly epted the cigarettes as if they had gained the most precious treasure.
Benson even offered Keith his lighter when he saw that Keith couldn''t locate his own.
He politely helped Keith light up his cigarette.
Keith gave Benson a satisfied look as he smiled wryly and said, "These are limitededition cigarettes
given to me by the management. I assume you guys have never smoked anything like this before,
right?"
Benson was stunned upon hearing that. He said awkwardly, "I have. My son-inw, Nathan, brought
me some before. However, it seemed a little different from yours. His limited-edition cigarettes
tasted stronger than yours.”
Keith had originally wanted to show off his wealth to the Smiths when he said that.
Nevertheless, he never expected Benson''s response.
He narrowed his eyes, blew out some smoke, and slowlymented, "There are many fake
cigarettes out there these days. It''s normal for you guys to be spoofed since you guys rarely get the
chance to enjoy the real thing..."
Benson panicked when he heard that and subconsciously protested, "No way, my son-inw would
never gift me fake cigarettes..."
Anger shed in Keith''s eyes. "Your son-inw would never gift you fake cigarettes; yet, you said
your son-inw''s cigarettes taste stronger than mine. Are you
suggesting my limited-edition cigarettes are fake?"
Benson flushed red in embarrassment as he struggled to speak up.

Sean quickly rounded things up by saying, "Keith, my sons and I are just ordinary folks. How can we
identify whether these limited-edition cigarettes are the real thing or not? We could neverpare
to a high-ranking official like you. You''ll have to help us out in the future and let us try more of these
limited-edition cigarettes. Let us piggyback on your sess, alright?"
Keith smiled, "Haha, of course. Benson, you should pick up a thing or two from your father. Don''t be
such a blockhead that you can''t even recognize the good stuff."
