Quentin also followed along.
As the group walked in from outside, Emery stepped forward to present his birthday gift first and said, “Wishing you continuous blessings and good health, Father.”
He respectfully bowed to Russell.
Even if Russell wasn’t his birth father, he was still his father in public, and Emery had to give him face.
“Hmm.” Compared to the enthusiasm of others, Russell just nodded lightly.
He appeared very indifferent.
“This is the gift from our family. I hope you accept it, Father.”
He approached Russell with the gift box, but Russell only glanced at him coldly and asked, “What did you bring? Please don’t embarrass the Pittman family like you did in previous years, sending a bunch of junk to disgrace me!”
His ruthless reprimand made Emery feel a burning sensation on his face.
This blatant humiliation made it a bit difficult for Emery to accept.
It’s so embarrassing!
This is like stripping him naked and slapping his face in front of everyone!
Does he have no dignity?
“A jade Buddha, which Quentin found,” he said, swallowing his frustration.
“Hmph!”
Russell’s face turned slightly angry. “You’re really a great son to me! I’m celebrating my big birthday, and you let a stray dog buy junk to insult me?”
“Father…”
“Okay, stop talking, just put it there!” Russell interrupted him directly.
“I’ll take a look at what this is.”
Nikolas chuckled and snatched it away directly, asking, “Uncle, how much is this thing worth? Can you tell us?”
“What?”
Emery was stunned and said with a stiff smile, “I don’t know the price, but it should be decent.”
“The gifts we give all start at tens of thousands, and Mr. Duncan even sent a supercar worth 8. 88 million. You, as his son, can’t slack off, can you?”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be sincere, would it?”
Nikolas sneered.
“That’s right!”
“Second brother, this is your real father. If you don’t care even about his birthday banquet, then your character is seriously in question!”
“Second uncle, are you so poor that you can’t even come up with a decent gift?”
The Pittman family members also criticized Emery one after another.
Emery was at a loss, standing there awkwardly as Nikolas rudely tore open the gift box!
“Oh!”
“It really is a jade Buddha!”
“I thought it was some trash!”
Nikolas smirked strangely and took out the jade Buddha to show everyone.
The jade Buddha was exquisitely carved, but unfortunately, it was full of cracks, very prominent and obvious.
“What is this thing?”
“My goodness!”
“This jade Buddha looks so terrible. Is this what Emery’s family sent?”
“Compared to the other gifts, it’s simply garbage!”
Those people were also amazed and began to discuss it, realizing that although the carved jade resembled a Buddha, it was practically worthless!
Because the quality of the jade was low, worth at most a few thousand.
Emery turned red with embarrassment.
Emma felt the gazes and immediately looked angrily at Quentin, whispering, “It’s all because of you that we’re being shamed in front of so many people!”
“Mom, I won’t let you be embarrassed. You can rest assured. They’re just ignorant,” Quentin said calmly. Even if the gift he presented was ordinary, it was worth at least tens of millions, if not in the tens of millions of dollars!
Seeing an opportunity, Frank immediately stood up and rebuked coldly, “Quentin, is this the gift you chose? A few thousand dollars’ worth of junk, who are you humiliating?”
“This piece of junk is not worthy of Grandpa!”
He sneered a few times, sounding triumphant. “The car I gave is worth over 8. 8 million, and the villa I lent Grandpa is worth 1. 8 billion! Do you dare compare your few thousand-dollar junk to mine?”
“What can you use to compare with me?”
Frank looked down on Quentin.
Quentin said calmly, “The value of this jade Buddha is at least in the billions, not inferior to your shabby villa. It’s just that you have poor taste.”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s gaze turned toward him!
This kind of junk item is completely a waste in the jade market, but worth billions? He nearly fooled even them!
