Chapter 253

This was exactly what Toby Dillard, the head of the Dillard family, was thinking.

His intention had been to support the Adler family’s business while everyone was criticizing them

By doing so, he would be providing a small but meaningful boost, a gesture that showed his support.

However, after casually mentioning this to a few people he usually got along with. Toby realized that many others had the same idea.

Some had acted faster than him and bought more gr

While Toby had bought just one bunch, one of his fishing buddies had already purchased three.

When Toby heard this, he felt a sharp pang of regret, almost as if he couldn’t breathe.

He had been too slow–not just in speed, but in quantity as well.

He had nothing to show for it, as if his life was as empty as the three “no’s” of the “three–no” syndrome.

Toby had lost his mood for casual chatting and returned home, feeling utterly defeated.

It was Saturday, and the two kids were on holiday. One was at home playing, and the other went to hang out with friends. His wife had gone for a beauty treatment.

When he entered the house, Toby’s attention was immediately drawn to a box sitting on the table.

“What’s this?” he asked his daughter, who was watching TV in the living room.

Hollie glanced over at him indifferently and replied, “I don’t know. Didn’t you buy it? The bodyguard said someone came to deliver grapes, so I just signed for it.”

The community they lived in didn’t allow delivery men to come in, so all packages were left at the property management office, where their staff would deliver them.

Toby didn’t respond at first. When he heard ‘grapes, he already knew what it was

Regular deliverymen couldn’t enter, but if it was from the Adler family’s delivery, they were allowed in.

With little enthusiasm, Toby grabbed a pair of scissors and started opening the box.

He wasn’t expecting much. After all, who would pack a 100 thousand dollar product in an ordinary cardboard box?

His wife, when buying a 10 thousand dollar string of grapes, would at least wrap it in multiple layers of protection. Toby thought to himself that this 100 thousand dollar purchase would likely be a waste.
