Chapter 130 Jasmine Surprises Ethan Again

"Ethan, I heard Clara and Daniel arrived early in Hawaii. Our senior brother said their assistant delivered a gift worth three million. I know you don't want to lose this project to them, after all..." Harper sighed, his face full of concern for Ethan. "Jasmine, what gift have you prepared for Otis?"

Harper wanted to see Jasmine make a fool of herself.

If the value and prestige of her gift were less than what Daniel and Clara prepared for Otis Phelps, she would definitely be the laughingstock.

"King crabs," Jasmine said in a low voice.

"What?" Harper had expected something modest from Jasmine, but still, hearing 'King crabs,' he thought he had misheard.

"King crabs..." Jasmine repeated.

"..." Harper was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and chuckled. "Jasmine, are you serious?"

After laughing at Jasmine, Harper quickly turned to Ethan. "Ethan, King crabs? That's not nearly good enough. Our gift can't be less than Daniel's. Luckily, I have a backup gift prepared; otherwise, we'd be the butt of the joke."

Relieved, Harper scolded Jasmine playfully. "Next time you prepare a gift, ask me first; I'll help you choose something appropriate, okay?"

Jasmine bowed her head, silent.

She felt that men like Otis Phelps, with their wealth, were beyond caring about the cost of things. She'd put a lot of effort into sourcing the King crabs.

"The King crabs prepared by Jasmine are pretty costly," Ethan said soberly, clearly displeased.

"Oh? How much for the crabs?" Harper asked, smiling, curious to hear how much could make Ethan consider crabs expensive.

"Three hundred each," Jasmine murmured, hesitant to meet Ethan's gaze.

Harper probably thought this was the funniest thing she'd heard all day, and she couldn't help but laugh aloud. "Jasmine, you're too sweet."

"Do you really think Otis Phelps cares about the price? Would a billionaire be concerned about the monetary value? It's the thought that counts," Ethan sternly cautioned Harper to stop mocking Jasmine.
