"Flynt, please don't take it to heart. These two useless fellows are flattering each other. This is all they have."
In the living room, Miranda hurriedly comforted Flynt with a smile.
"Yes, my dad spent all day studying those useless pieces of porcelain, but he didn't get anything. That guy is good at flattery. I don't know what he said to make my dad so happy." Albert had always disliked the fact that Zachary was so valued by Maxwell.
"Is it useful to talk about those things? Money is the most important thing now. If Dad wasn't a nerd and only knew how to study useless things all day long, we wouldn't have fallen so low that we were not able to raise our heads when we saw people." Peter was full of dissatisfaction.
"So, our family needs someone like Flynt. He went abroad early. He has seen all kinds of things in the world. He is decent, elegant, and has a lot of skills!" The more Miranda looked at Flynt, the more she liked him.
Maxwell and Zachary walked out.
Maxwell was still very excited, and his face was red.
"The meal is ready. Let's get started!"
Maxwell pulled Zachary into the dining room and asked him to sit by his side. He was still asking Zachary for advice on the craftsmanship of Jade ice porcelain.
Flynt wanted to greet others. But he didn't even have a chance.
He cursed in his heart, "This old good-for-nothing, he really doesn't know what's good for him."
"One day, after I play with your daughter, I'll kick her away and see how you'll cry."
"This old thing has no vision at all. With such a good son -in-law here, he is not enthusiastic at all." Miranda was also angry and scolded him.
She hurriedly and enthusiastically invited Flynt to the dining room.
The whole family went to the dining room.
Miranda deliberately arranged for Flynt to sit beside Blanch.
"Uncle, Auntie, tomorrow is the New Year. I'm here to bring you some new year's gifts. I hope you will like them."
Flynt purposely raised his voice to attract Maxwell's attention.
After saying that, he took out a bag and placed it in front of Maxwell with both hands.
"What is this?" Maxwell asked.
"Two watches. I hope you'll be happy every second!" Flynt's mouth was so sweet that it looked as if it was filled with honey.
"What watch is it?" Miranda was very excited.
She quickly took out the watch box.
When she opened it, she saw a pair of couple's watches of Vacheron Constantin.
"What the f*ck? Vacheron Constantin's limited edition couple watch?" Albert cried out in shock.
For their declining rich and powerful family, Vacheron Constantin's watch was really a luxury item.
"There are only three hundred pairs in the world! The price is more than two million dollars, and the key is that we may not be able to buy it." Peter also exclaimed.
He and Albert were very concerned about luxury goods. After all, this was a symbol of identity and status.
The more his family declined, the more he wanted to rely on something to maintain the glory of the past.
"A New Year's gift worth more than two million dollars! Flynt, why are you so nice to us? You've really spent a lot of money." Miranda grinned from ear to ear.
She stretched out her hand and carefully rubbed the two watches, as if she was rubbing the cash of two million dollars.
"I should be filial to both of you. I hope there will be more filial piety in the future." Flynt smiled.
He was secretly pleased with himself. The effect of the gifts was not bad. It directly shocked the members of the Sykeses.
Looking at the snow -cold Blanch beside him, he sneered in his heart. "Break your family's mouth, and then I will use the money to break your legs."
Miranda nodded repeatedly and said, "You will definitely have more chances to show filial piety in the future. Even if you don't have such an opportunity, I will create it for you."
The meaning of her words could not be more obvious.
Just as she was about to put away the watches, Maxwell pressed down on her hand.
"How can we accept such valuable gifts for no reason? We'd better give them back to Flynt!"
That was his character. He was a nerd, and he didn't want to owe others a big favor.
"What do you know? This is what Flynt should be filial to." Miranda felt at ease when she accepted it.
"What does this mean?"
"Idiot, can't you see it? Flynt will be our good son-in-law in the future. Shouldn't a son-in-law be filial to his mother-in-law?"
"Son-in-law? We already have a son-in-law, don't we?" Maxwell was surprised.
"Our son-in-law is a good-for-nothing. It's time to kick him away. Do you really want to keep him?" Miranda snorted.
She had been tired of Zachary for a long time.
"You didn't see the value of Zachary at all. In fact, he..." Maxwell quickly explained.
"What's the value of him? Flynt knows to give me a gift during the Spring Festival. Where is Zachary's gift? I can't even get a little of his gift during the Spring Festival. What's the point of having such a son-in-law? It's a waste of our food to raise him. Even raising a dog is more useful than him. At least, the dog can look after our house."
Miranda looked at Zachary. "Tell me, where's your New Year's gift? It's empty-handed again, isn't it? You're the kind of..."
"I have a New Year's gift for you!" Zachary interrupted her.
"Uh ..." Miranda held back her anger for a moment and then said loudly, "Well, take out your gift."
She still didn't believe that a good-for-nothing son-in-law like Zachary could offer a decent gift.
"I have a gold ingot here. Please accept it!" Zachary said.
"A gold ingot?"
The members of the Sykeses were all very surprised!
A gold ingot was worth a lot of money.
It depended on the size of the gold ingot.
At this time, Zachary was really taking out a gold ingot from his pocket.
But it was not a gold ingot at all, but a gold ingot made of paper.
This was a gold ingot that was folded by Zachary with his first patent certificate.
This patent was a new kind of coffee formula, which had a very commercial prospect.
Although it wasn't a gold ingot, it was much more valuable than a gold ingot.
"What the f*ck are you calling a gold ingot? Do you think I'm a fool?" Feeling that she had been fooled, Miranda scolded him directly.
"It's the New Year. I really don't know what you mean to give them a folded paper ingot." Flynt shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It was obvious that he was satirizing Zachary.
Albert immediately understood and roared, "Zachary, what do you mean? You cursed my parents with a gold ingot made of paper on New Year, didn't you?"
"Damn it. It's fine that you are useless, but you're still so vicious. We have given you a living, why do you do this?" Peter slammed the table with all his strength and pointed at Zachary viciously.
"You're wrong, actually..." Zachary was about to explain.
Pa!
Blanch rushed in front of him and gave him a tight slap.
Zachary was stunned.
"I told you not to make a fool of yourself. Why can't you behave yourself?" Blanch really felt like she was going to die of anger from him.
She was just worried that he would make a fool of himself, yet in the end, he really did make a fool of himself, even provoking public anger.
"Blanch, I shouldn't have said that, but isn't your husband a little brainless?" Flynt's face was full of mockery. "If his brain is sick, he needs to go to see a doctor as soon as possible."
"It's not that he's brainless, it's that he needs a beating!"
If it wasn't for Blanch standing in his way, Peter would've made his move a long time ago.
"Take this piece of sh*t and get out of here. What a shame!" Miranda grabbed the gold ingot and smashed it on Zachary's face.
She really didn't expect that Zachary would dare to mess with her face to face. He was too bold.
...
"Calm down, all of you. Zachary might be... perhaps he's just joking." Maxwell quickly tried to smooth things over for Zachary.
"You idiot, shut up. The Sykeses was ruined by you. You even married your daughter to this good-for- nothing. Now, you are still protecting this good-for-nothing. Do you have to destroy the Sykeses completely?"
Miranda, who had always been angry with Maxwell, burst out completely. "I married you because I thought you were from a rich and powerful family. But look, what have you become now? You are just an old fool. Can you distinguish right from wrong and not make a fool of yourself here?"
Thinking of the current situation of the Sykeses, Maxwell suddenly lost his confidence.
He lowered his head and no longer say anything.
"Why don't you get out of here with your ridiculous gift?" Miranda yelled at Zachary.
Zachary gave a bitter smile. The big gift that he had sincerely given her had now become a ridiculous gift.
He grabbed the gold ingot and put it into his pocket.
At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.
When he opened it, he saw a few text messages.
"Mr. Austin, nice to meet you. I'm Thea Chilton, the president of Thea Coffee Chain. I'm very interested in your coffee formula."
"I've organized a coffee Barista to analyze your patent. I think it's worth investing."
"I hope that you can give us some time to meet and talk."
"We have just decided that your patent is worth 50 million dollars. From this, you should see that we are very sincere and hope to get a chance to talk to you face to face."
Zachary laughed.
The patent was indeed a gold ingot, and it was worth 50 million.
Unfortunately, after he gave it to Miranda, she didn't know what was good for her, so she threw it back.
"Look, this shameless guy is still smiling." Miranda became angrier when she saw Zachary's smile.
"I'll beat him up and teach him a lesson." Albert rolled up his sleeves directly.
"Brother, I'm with you. He gave such a gift and deliberately cursed our parents. How dare he laugh? Is he laughing that we didn't hit him?"
Peter and Albert had been unhappy with Zachary for a long time. They picked up the wine bottle and rushed to Zachary.
Blanch gritted her teeth and tried to stop them, but in the end, she didn't move.
She felt that it was indeed time to teach Zachary a lesson. Not only was he useless, but he was also good at pretending, which was really annoying.
"You two, stop!" Maxwell quickly stopped Albert and Peter.
"Dad, he has cursed you like that. Why are you still protecting him?"
"He ... he definitely didn't do it on purpose. It's just that his EQ isn't high, so his jokes are a little excessive." Maxwell tried his best to defend Zachary.
"Do you also know that his EQ is not high? Could it be said that his EQ is not high? That's stupid. Look at the gifts he gave, and then look at the gifts given by Flynt. Is there any need for this son-in-law to be in our home?" Miranda made use of the topic to scold Zachary again.
"Look, Flynt and Blanch are a perfect match for each other. They're a perfect match, but you separated them."
"How nice it would be if I had a son- in-law like Flynt. Not only can I get such a valuable watch, but I can also get a lot of valuable jewelry."
Miranda picked up the watch and put it on. She waved it at Zachary and said, "You're such a good-for-nothing. Do you have enough money to buy the chain of the watch for your whole life?"
"I can't. To be more precise, I won't buy it. It's just a fake watch. There's no point in buying it!" Zachary shook his head.
"What did you say? Are you saying that this is a fake watch?"
"That's right. These two watches are all fake watches!" Zachary said with absolute certainty.
He was the son of the Austins, which used to be the richest family in Cloudmount City. He had seen all kinds of things in the world.
He also liked to study, so he could tell all kinds of watches, even the most subtle differences.
Just with a glance, he could tell that the two watches were not authentic.
When he heard this, Flynt's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered. He snorted and said, "Are you jealous of me?"
"That's right. You can't afford it, so you say it's a fake watch. What kind of character do you have?" Albert was quite unhappy.
"Why is there such a thing in our family? The Sykeses's name has been disgraced by you."
Peter spat hard at Zachary.
"Hurry up and get lost. I don't want to see you again." Blanch also lost face. Her face was flushed.
No matter what, Zachary was still her husband.
Since Zachary had made a fool of himself in front everyone, she was sure to lose face.
"You are such a narrow-minded b*stard. You can turn things upside down. You don't deserve to stay in the Sykeses anymore. Tomorrow, you and Blanch will get divorced. I don't want to see you again, lest you dirty my eyes. Now, get out of this villa. In the future, I will only recognize one son -in-law, and that is Flynt. You b*stard will have nothing to do with the Sykeses in the future."
Miranda shook the watch on her wrist, pointed her hand at the door, and asked Zachary to get lost.
All the members of the Sykeses, as well as Flynt, were looking at Zachary with sneers and mockery.
Maxwell couldn't speak up for Zachary either. He could only sigh helplessly. "Zachary, your bearing... is indeed too small."
"What are you waiting for? Get lost!"
"Get lost!"
Peter and Albert tried their best to push Zachary away.
Zachary suddenly sneered, pushed them away, and rushed to Miranda.
"Zachary, what are you going to do?" Blanch was shocked. She thought that Zachary had lost his mind and was going to hurt Miranda. She shouted anxiously, "If you dare to touch my mother, we are finished."
"Now, let's see how you can save it."
Flynt sneered smugly.
As long as Zachary made a move on Miranda, the marriage between Zachary and Blanch would be over.
At that time, he would be able to take advantage of the situation to obtain Blanch.
"Zachary, be rational!" Maxwell shouted as well.
"Bastard, stop right there!"
Albert and Peter quickly chased after Zachary from behind.
Zachary jumped directly onto the dining table, swooped down, and came up to Miranda. He quickly grabbed her hand.
Miranda was so scared that she screamed, "Zachary, calm down. If you have something to say, we can talk about it."
Zachary didn't say a word.
He grabbed her hand, pressed the watch's dial plate on her wrist on the dining table, and rubbed it hard.
The number on the dial plate was immediately erased, revealing a few small Chinese characters.
"Look, is this really the Vacheron Constantin's work? Is there a Vacheron Constantin's work in our Cloudmount City?" Zachary picked up Miranda's hand and placed it in front of her.
"Place of production: Cloudmount City?"
Although Miranda was terrified, she still knew those words.
"What? Cloudmount City? When did our Cloudmount City start to produce such a famous watch?" Maxwell also came over to take a look.
Albert and Peter's fists were behind Zachary's head and they stopped abruptly.
Blanch shook her head. "There's absolutely no way that Vacheron Constantin's watches were made in Cloudmount City. They are imported products."
She also came over and saw a few small words on the dial plate.
"Look at this craftsmanship. It's impossible for it to be Vacheron Constantin. After grinding it a few times, its paint started peeling off." Maxwell shook his head.
Miranda's face turned red.
She had been showing off the watch for a long time, but it turned out to be fake.
It was too embarrassing.
Looking at the craftsmanship, it was not worth hundreds of dollars, let alone a few million dollars.
She could not help but look up at Flynt.
