Chapter 1387
After that, it was the second generation's turn, which included Penny, Iris, and Leon.
"Grandpa, Andy, and I would like to gift you this painting in the symbolism of great health and longevity," Penny and Andy offered their gifts.
Soon, it was Iris and Leon's turn.
"Grandpa, Leon, and I have prepared a priceless jadeite statue for your birthday. We hope that it will bring you a lifetime of health and prosperity," Iris said as she and Leon opened the gift box and handed the exquisite statue to Patrick.
"A jadeite statue?" the color drained from Nigel's face when he saw this.
Coincidentally, he also prepared the same thing as his grandfather's birthday present, but unfortunately, his was far smaller in size compared to Leon's.
Now that Leon already offered this gift, it would be humiliating if he did the same, with a smaller one, no less!
"Rats! Did that bastard do this on purpose?" Nigel was fuming at this. He met Leon for the first time when he and Iris came to meet the Scammells, and at that time, Mister Umair, who was a cousin of Nigel's, got into a fight with them over a misunderstanding.
Therefore, Nigel liked Leon it! Now, the fact that Leon prepared the same gift as he made Nigel think he was doing this on purpose to embarrass him!
He could not help growing even more resentful of Leon at this realization!
"This jadeite statue is so colorful that it doesn't seem natural, and appears to be like a man-made jewel instead!"
Everyone was stunned to realize this.
The jadeite industry was a challenging one, and it was not uncommon to see poorly made, synthetic jadeites interspersed with natural, genuine stones.
The jadeite before them was so colorful and so large that one could not help wondering if it were a piece of poor-quality synthetic jadeite instead!
Not only that, but Four-Colored Jadeites were so rare that none of the audience could recognize this as a piece of treasure, considering they were not professionals in this area at all. All of them thought that Leon bought this gift off a black market that sold counterfeit stones!
