Chapter 209

"Hahaha," laughed Zeke loudly."It will taketwo months to finish this project, and you can only earn 15,000 dollars in two months. You guys are being too nice to me. All right. I'll talk to my family about this later. I'll let you guys handle this project for me."

They were talking about business loudly. As Zeke spoke, he kept looking at Marilyn.

When he found that Marilyn's eyes were not on him, he immediately shouted,"By the way, I'm going to pick up a car in a few days. BMW 8 series convertibles. Whoever has time to go with me can help me check the car's condition and other stuff as well."

"The one that costs more than 150 thousanddollars?" replied Yulia loudly, "Jasper planned to buy that before, but after thinking for a while, he still bought a Mercedes-Benz worth more than 150 thousand dollars. Jasper is experienced in buying cars, so he can go with you at that time"

Shelby heard several of her good friends talking about businesses that could ra ke in thousands of dollars and luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and her eyes were full of envy.

When Shelby looked at Xavier chatting with Robert, she became furious. She pulled Xavier's arm and said in a condescending tone, "Well, that's enough. You are an adult now.Why are you still thinking about your childhood playthings and not more about how to make more money?"

Xavier replied smilingly, "It's been a long time since Robert and I met up. We are trying to catch up on old times."

"Catch up!Catch up! Can you make money bycatching up with him? You can't even afford to get a betrothal gift of 45,000 dollars!" Shelby mocked. She looked annoyed.

Xavier was speechless. "Didn't I buy a house too? Plus, the 45,000 dollars betrothal gift you said was too expensive."

"Is that considered expensive? How is that tooexpensive?" scoffed Shelby showing an unforgiving attitude.

"A betrothal gift of 45,000 dollars is not thatexpensive indeed," interrupted Yulia suddenly, "My sisters are married, and their betrothalgifts were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The groom's side even bought various luxurious items!"

"It's not expensive," agreed Zeke as he nodded.

He looked at Marilyn first before he bragged,"If I get married, I will at least buy a house in Acocester's city center. The price of the car given to the bride side should be no less than hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the betrothal gifts must also be at hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Zeke looked proud when he was saying all that.

Shelby sat at the side, and listening to all this made her heart race in excitement.

She didn't have to worry about anything in this lifetime if she could have the house in the city center, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of a car, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of betrothal gifts.

Xavier listened to their condescending, show-off tone and started to get a little angry. However, he didn't say anything in the end.

Zeke and Yulia advocated more fiercely about that matter.

Robert sat in the middle of the table and watched Zeke constantly putting up an act in front of Marilyn. He frowned slightly. Although Marilyn had made it clear to him, Robert still felt very uncomfortable when he saw another man acting like that.

He was extremely unhappy.

After the meal, they had to wait for the master of ceremonies to come as there was a rehearsal for the wedding ceremony.

After dinner, everyone walked around the Grand Triumphant Hotel, and a Lamborghini worth more than 1.35 million dollars in the parking lot was particularly eye-catching.

"Wow,I wonder which wealthy family's car isthis?" exclaimed Shelby.

When Shelby saw the Lamborghini, her eyes lit up. Although she didn't know the specific value of the car, she knew that the Lamborghini was not cheap.

Zeke, Yulia, and Jasper were all envious.

Zeke subconsciously looked at Marilyn. When he found that Marilyn was looking at the Lamborghini with great interest, Zeke couldn't help but speak up immediately, "What do you mean by a wealthy family? I know about this car. This car was involved in an accident and had to be overhauled. They couldn't sell it off for the original price. Finally, they had to sell it off at a lower price, which was only more than 150 thousand dollars and less than 300thousand dollars. The person who bought this car was probably putting on an act to deceive

young ladies."
