“You useless scum, what are you talking about? Do you have a death wish, huh?” Jacob growled, raising a hand to hit Alex.

Alex caught his wrist and held it firmly as Jacob struggled to break free from his grip.

“Sometimes, I really do wonder how your sense of logic functions,” Alex said in disdain. “If I give Harper a normal watch, it means that she’s a whore. So if Henry gives her a branded watch, does it mean that she’s a super whore?”

This family was impossible to deal with.

Initially, Alex had no intention of buying her a present at all. It was upon Heather’s insistence afterwards that he simply picked out a gift from a nearby watch stall.

The watch looked like it was worth only about thirty. Seeing Alex coming in a luxury car, the storekeeper proceeded to call a price of hundred at once. Alex didn’t bother to haggle with the storekeeper either. If he did then he would probably be able to save at least forty or so.

“You think you can compare to Henry? Why don’t you take a closer look at the trash you’ve given me? I can’t believe you actually have the gall to show up with it!” Harper shrilled loudly while glaring at Alex. She flashed the luxury watch glittering on her wrist at him. “Look at this! Now this is a fifty thousand watch! Can you afford it? Get out of my sight with this piece of trash!”

The attendees could only sigh in admiration when they saw Harper’s branded watch.
