Chapter 57

Joanna made a beverage and brought it over.

Kenneth picked up the teacup, took a sip, and stared at the slender and verdant tea leaves in the cup. “This tea smells great. Is it… Earl Grey?” he asked.

Joanna nodded. “It’s premium Earl Grey. Oliver bought it. He said a small can like this costs a few hundred dollars.”

It was another blow to Kenneth’s heart.

Kenneth glanced at Jason and chuckled. “Jason, it seems like Oliver did hit the jackpot. What does he do for a living?”

Jason was not afraid to share it with him, even proudly explaining, “He earns a living by using his skills. He deals with raw emerald rough. He buys the raw stones from Manchernius and resells them to jewelry stores in Jeahron. From just one piece of stone alone, he can earn hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“Hundreds of millions of dollars from just a single piece of stone!” Kenneth marveled inwardly.

Kenneth felt a pang of pain in his heart again. Despite that, he still mustered a smile and said, “That’s great, that’s great. Jason, I came here with two things in mind. First, I wanted to check on you as I was worried that you’re strapped for cash. Second, I’d like to let you know that William has been accepted into Juxshire University. We’ve booked two tables at a hotel to celebrate his academic achievement next Tuesday. Let’s spend this joyous occasion together. William is the second university student in our family. The ancestors of the Eastwood family must have bestowed their blessings upon us!”

Jason smiled. “Congratulations, Kenneth. William has been clever since he was young, so it’s no surprise he made it into a good university!”

Calista sneered inwardly. In the past, Kenneth’s family would always act high and mighty whenever they met them. His family had never treated them with respect.

Back when Jason was lying in the hospital bed, waiting for someone to save his life, Oliver went to them to borrow money, but they did not lend him any money.

Oliver did not mention it to Calista, but she heard about it from Joanna. When Oliver went to borrow money, Eloise said she would give him 40 dollars as a monetary gift, while Frederick did not even repay the borrowed money. As for Kenneth, he used 100 dollars to drive Oliver away.
