Picking a house in a top-tier estate, that’s a matter of at least a billion.
A billion, even though she’s not short of money, isn’t a small amount.
Just now, seeing her son refuse, it hurt her so much she wished she could just grab the card for him.
So, when she heard Edward Smith say "Mrs. Hall," she imdiately reached out without a second thought.
Though no one noticed her action, she felt her face burning with embarrassnt.
Naturally, she shifted the bla onto Helen lendy.
What right does this vixen have to be called Mrs. Hall just like her? She’s nothing but a shaless Fox Spirit clinging to her son.
Helen lendy could not accept such a lavish gift, even if she didn’t know what it consisted of.
No matter how familiar you feel, you’re not thick-skinned enough to accept such an extravagant gift from soone you just t.
"Thank you, Mr. Smith, your gift is too precious, I really can’t accept it."
She smiled and refused, while Leanne Richards rolled her eyes beside her.
Putting on an act!
A pauper like you, being offered a house worth billions, yet you’re pretending to refuse.
If you don’t rely on others giving it to you, could you even afford it?
Seeing the smile on Edward Smith’s face fade, Leanne Richards, fearing such a priceless house would slip away, quickly chid in:
"Harry, it’s Mr. Smith’s gesture. If you refuse, it would be too rude. In my opinion, you should accept it, and when Mr. Smith gets married, you can return the favor then."
As for who Edward Smith marries in the future, that’s not her concern.
If Edward Smith truly marries Helen lendy, her son likely wouldn’t have the inclination to send a gift.
Edward Smith cast a aningful glance at Leanne Richards’ eager face, then smiled at Harry Hall:
"Lady Hall is right, this is my wedding gift to you. If CEO Hall doesn’t accept it, I’d feel awkward attending the wedding. At worst, you can return a gift of equal value for my wedding in the future."
Seeing Edward Smith’s deanor, Harry Hall knew this gift was not to be declined.
He thought about it and agreed.
A gift of several billion, he could certainly match it.
Then let Helen keep it, considering it as his gift to her.
With this thought, he handed the card over and placed it in Helen lendy’s palm, saying:
"Then, thank you very much, Chief Smith."
"No need to be so formal, CEO Hall."
Seeing Harry Hall place the card into Helen lendy’s hand, although he said nothing, Edward Smith already understood Harry Hall’s intentions and beca even more satisfied.
Like an elder brother testing his brother-in-law.
Afterward, he bid farewell to Harry Hall, Adam Jones, and the others, and left the Hall’s Residence.
Elly Campbell and her husband were the last to leave. Leanne Richards, initially in a good mood due to reaching an agreent with Edward Smith, saw her son give the gold card to Helen lendy instead of her, and her good mood vanished.
Although Harry Hall ignored her, as a son, he didn’t make Leanne Richards move out of the Hall’s Residence.
Thus, now, in the Hall’s Residence live Harry Hall and his wife, as well as Leanne Richards.
Helen lendy knew Leanne Richards didn’t like her, but she wasn’t about to curry favor just because this harsh woman beca her mother-in-law.
Her current relationship with Leanne Richards was one of mutual non-interference.
If Leanne Richards behaved well, she would respectfully call her mom; if she was harsh, then she shouldn’t bla her for being rude.
