Chapter 103


    “A million dors’ worth of useless jade shards?” Zachary’s eyes went wide with rage. “That is a Dugray


    family heirloom! How dare you call it useless!”“Do not trouble yourself with a bum like him, Mr. Dugray!”


    Megan hurriedly pacified. “He’s just an orphan. Why would he know anything about family


    heirlooms?”“Hahahaha!” Hearing that made him burst outughing. “True. Why am I even trying to


    educate a beggar?”A chilly glint shed in Kingsley’s eyes as he coldly spoke up. “Anything I own


    would be worth more than this worthless antique.”Everyone in the room went silent as soon as he said


    that.After a pause, Zachary sniggered. “Are you still dreaming? Did you actually think someone like you


    could ever own anything worth more than this antique?”In his eyes, Kingsley was just a thug or petty


    thief. There was no way Kingsley would own anything better than a Dugray family heirloom.Megan


    sneered. “Brat, if your gift is worth less than a million dors, I will be giving Mr. Dugray Cecilia’s hand


    in marriage right away.”“That’s right.” Michael nodded. “You must show us how serious you are if you


    truly wish to be with my daughter.”“I think this is all just an act he’s putting on,” Zachary said with a


    laugh as he leaned back in his seat. There was a proud look on his face as if he had already won what


    he was asking for.“If he can show us something worth more than my gift, I’ll even holler uncle!” Zachary


    continued.Although Asher had yet to say a word, it was obvious from the look on his face that he was


    eager for a chance tough at Kingsley.“Let’s forget about it, Kingsley…” Cecilia whispered in a


    defeated voice.After all, no matter how rich Kingsley was, the two of them were only acting like a


    couple.She would never let him fork out such a huge sum to her parents.In response, he patted her


    hand tofort her.Then, he said to Michael and Megan, “If my gift ends up being more valuable, you


    will not force Cecilia to marry someone she does not love.”“Of course!” Michael said with a nod. “You


    would naturally be Cecilia’s boyfriend if you can offer us a worthy bridal price. After all, we just want to


    see her happy!”Zachary’s heart began pounding uneasily when he heard what Michael said. “Stop


    boasting already, brat!” he hurriedly uttered. “There is no way you could have known what was going


    on and came with a gift.”Kingsley smiled. “Did you forget what I just said? The one thing I do notck is


    friends.”He then called Daniel, ignoring Zachary’s sputters.“Bring me five invitation letters to the pre-bid


    conference. I want them delivered to the Larson Family home now!”Michael’s heart skipped a beat


    when he heard the words ‘invitation letters’.A thought struck him, stealing his breath away from


    him.“What did you just say?” he asked with a quiver in his voice. “Invitation letters?” “Invitations to


    Coliree Group’s pre-bid conference,” Kingsley calmly replied. “Do you not know of it?”Everyone was


    shocked.“Invitation letters from Coliree Group? Is that actually your offer?” Michael’s eyes nearly


    popped out of his head.His hands mped down on the table before him as his wrinkled face flushed


    so red that it looked as if he had just popped a few blood vessels on his face.Invitation letters from


    Coliree Group were only ever sent to the most powerful families and organizations in Sris


    Province!As a second-rate family, it was impossible for the Larsons to ever obtain an invitation letter,


    even if they bankrupted themselves doing so.To Michael’s shock, Kingsley was currently offering them


    five invitations.There was an unpleasant look on Zachary’s face when he saw the reaction Kingsley’s


    offer provoked. “Michael, do not be fooled by his offer. Only a dozen or so families in Cleapolis could


    ever get their hands on an invitation letter. What makes you think he could get five with just a phone


    call?”Hearing that, Michael calmed down.Indeed, most powerful family heads could only ever get their


    hands on two or three letters.It was impossible for a man in his twenties to obtain more than


    that!Megan narrowed her scorn-filled eyes. “Mr. Dugray is right. I think he’s lying as well.”“You’ll know


    soon enough if I’m lying. After all, we just need to wait and see if any invitation letters arrive from


    Coliree Group.”Kingsley nced at his watch and continued, “ording to my calctions, they will be


    here in five minutes.”“Tsk!” Zachary huffed.“What if you had some scammers send us fake invitation


    letters? Your friends are basically either criminals or conmen!”“That’s right!” Megan cried out in


    agreement. “We had never seen a real invitation before. What if you are trying to fool us with


    counterfeit invitation letters?”“Enough!” Michael snapped. “I will appraise the invitations myself when


    they arrive.”Zachary reluctantly stopped his protests. Even so, he shot Kingsley a re.He would wait


    and see just how Kingsley nned to lie his way out of this situation.Soon, a car could be heard


    screeching into the yard.“Old Master Larson, Young Master Asher, there is a man outside who says


    he’s here to deliver some invitation letters,” said a servant who came dashing into the room.“Let him


    in.”By now, Michael held no expectation or hope that the invitations would be real.He was certain things


    would y out exactly as Zachary had guessed—Kingsley would offer him fake invitation letters.There


    was an expectant look on Zachary’s face as he gently blew on his tea.“When your deceit is finally


    exposed for what it really is,” he said with a sneer, “I will be personally throwing you into jail.”Just as he


    said that, a man with the grace of a swan sauntered into the room. “Mr. Larson, I have your invitation


    letters.”Pfft! Zachary spat out his tea when he saw who had walked in. “Y-Young Master Harry…”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
