“Since this vase is fake, what about the compensation?”
Connor asked Sean aningfully.
“There’s no need for compensation; it’s our restaurant’s own responsibility that the vase was switched. How can i ask you to compensate us for this?” Titus quickly replied, then walked up to Sean and said with a smile, “Mr. Phillips, I’m really sorry. i didn’t expect my vase to be fake. I can’t let you pay for this, so I’ll forget about the 20 million dollars from before. Moreover, I have to thank you properly. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have discovered that this vase was fake…”
Sean looked at Titus in front of him with a puzzled expression. Even if the vase was fake, Titus didn’t have to be so polite to him, right?
“Miss Phillips, this incident has also caused you a lot of trouble. I’m deeply sorry for this. If it weren’t for your father coincidentally breaking this vase, I might never have discovered that the vase had been swapped. So, to express my apologies, I’ve decided to give you a Platinum mber card. No matter when you co over in the future, you can enjoy the highest level of treatnt in our restaurant!”
Titus looked at Sean’s dumbfounded expression and turned to Freya.
Those who were waiting to see Sean make a fool of himself were all dumbfounded. Who would have thought that just because Connor had said that the vase was fake, Sean would not have to pay the money and would even get a restaurant’s Platinum mber card? After all, the value of this mbership card could not be asured with money.
Freya hesitated for a mont before saying, “President Jenkins, it’s good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. There’s no need for this mbership card, right?”
As long as she did not lose money, Freya was already happy enough, so she had no intention of accepting the mbership card.
“No, Miss Phillips. I’ve caused you so much trouble today, so i have to insist that you please accept this mbership card!” Titus hurriedly said.
“Alright then…” Freya replied helplessly before continuing, “President Jenkins, since this misunderstanding has been resolved, can we leave now?”
“Of course, of course. I’m really sorry to have taken up so much of your ti!”
As Titus spoke, he took the initiative to lead Freya towards the rcedes-Benz.
Connor, who had contributed the most to this matter, followed behind everyone. He was very satisfied with Titus’s performance today.
After Titus exchanged a few words with Freya and the others, Freya drove away with Connor, leaving behind the dumbfounded onlookers and Caleb, who looked desperate.
He still did not know when the vase in the restaurant had been switched.
A few minutes later, the crowd dispersed. It wouldn’t be long before this matter spread throughout the Phillips Family Manor.
After sending Connor and the others away, Titus finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he walked to Caleb’s side.
“P-President Jenkins, I… I really didn’t know that the vase was switched! But this is all my responsibility. 1 hope you can be lenient with !”
Caleb shouted at Titus excitedly.
Titus glanced at Caleb and said expressionlessly, “Who told you that the vase was switched?”
Caleb paused for a mont and asked, confused, “Wasn’t the vase a fake?”
“I bought the vase at Sotheby’s. How can it be a fake?” Titus said helplessly.
“Then…President Jenkins, why did you tell them that the vase was fake?”
Caleb was also confused because he couldn’t understand what was going on.
“Young Master McDonald said it was fake, so 1 have to admit it was fake!” Titus said indifferently.
“Young Master McDonald?”
Caleb was stunned again.
Titus narrowed his eyes and asked Caleb softly. “Do you know who that young man was?”
“No, I didn’t know…” Caleb gently shook his head. He really couldn’t think of any young master from a big family in Porthampton who could make Titus so afraid.
Besides, Caleb couldn’t tell that Connor was a rich kid just from his clothes.
“President Jenkins, who is that Young Master McDonald?” Caleb couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Forget it. Young Master McDonald told
not to expose his identity, but you just have to rember that in the future, when you see Young Master McDonald, treat him like you’re seeing ,” Titus said.
“Understood…” Caleb hurriedly nodded.
“By the way, is the other vase in our restaurant still intact?” Titus asked softly.
“No…”
Caleb shook his head.
“It doesn’t look good with just a single vase. Contact the curator of Porthampton Museum and the people from the television station and ask them to co over tomorrow. I’m going to donate this vase and promote our restaurant at the sa ti!” Titus said calmly.
“Alright…”
Caleb hurriedly nodded.
anwhile, Connor and the others drove straight to the hotel after leaving the restaurant.
Sean, Laura, and the others were in a much better mood because they didn’t have to pay the vase 20 million dollars.
However, Sandra was unusually irritable because Shane’s true colors had been exposed. She felt rather wronged by the whole ordeal. After all, Shane was the son-in-law she had always been proud of. Who would have thought that all of this was just a misunderstanding?
The one who had made Titus so polite towards them wasn’t Shane, but rather Freya.
Sandra no longer dared to show off like before. Instead, she followed Qahira and left dejectedly.
Sean and Laura had been chatting ever since they got into the car, as if they had forgotten who had helped them out today.
Even though it had been a while since they’d gotten into the car, they did not even say a word to Connor, let alone a “thank you.”
Connor naturally didn’t care about these things, but Freya was extrely uncomfortable. Laura had scolded Connor so harshly back then. Now that Connor had helped them so much, as an elder, it was fine if she didn’t say thank you, but the least they could do was treat him better, right?
However, Laura and Sean still chose to ignore Connor.
“Connor, how did you find out that the vase was fake?” Freya couldn’t help but feel curious and took the initiative to talk about this matter.
“I…” Connor was about to speak, but before he could finish, Laura shouted.
“What does he know? I think he was just talking nonsense. I didn’t think he’d make a lucky guess and find out that the vase was really fake!”
After Laura finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car instantly dropped to freezing point..
