Moira was happy to hear Jack's confession. "Haha, although your boyfriend is poor, he's an honest guy. But that's probably his only strong point, right?"Jack prepared the gift himself, so Cheryl didn't know what gift he'd bought. When she heard his words, her heart sank. "What did you buy for them?"It would be terrible if his gift wasn't as good as Vincent's.Cheryl wasn't trying to compete with Moira. But no matter what, Jack was visiting her family today. If his gift wasn't up to par, the Hacketts would be humiliated. She didn't want the Hacketts to judge Jack snobbishly.Jack said with a smile, "You'll find out when we get inside."Selena also felt something bad would happen if they stayed outside, so she said, "You can continue your conversation inside."Cheryl nodded. She then wanted to help Jack carry the gifts, but he refused.Although it was just a minor detail, Selena still noticed it. As a woman, she could easily see through one's instinctive actions. And w
"So, you want us to meet your boyfriend too." Aiden said, "In that case, stay here and have lunch with us."Moira smiled. "All right, Uncle Aiden. You're the best."Cheryl thought that Moira might as well be an actress."Uncle Aiden, Vincent also bought you some gifts. Have a look." Moira dragged Aiden to the pile of gifts.Once again, Moira picked up the three gifts she had shown Selena and explained them to Aiden. However, she didn't give any comments about the other gifts.After Aiden heard Cheryl's words, he said happily, "That's very kind of you, but we're not your parents. You can't just ask Vincent to spend this much money on us. "How about this? After this, you should head to the Hackett Group and get a remittance."Moira's eyes lit up with joy. She was the one who bought these gifts. Of course, she didn't have that much money on her. She paid for them with her credit cards and installments.Now that Aiden was asking her to get money from the Hackett Group, she could
Moira said disdainfully, "Is that all you're giving them? A set of skin care products? But I get it. This is the best you can buy at your level. You probably had to save money for a year or two to afford this, right?"Selena quickly said, "Moira, that's not nice. It doesn't matter how much the gifts cost. What matters is the intention in giving them.""She's right." Aiden also came to Jack's defense, fearing it would hurt his self-esteem. "Since Jack bought skin care products for Aunt Selena, it shows that he had put his heart into his gift."Moira frowned at their words.Then, Jack said with a smile, "Mr. and Mrs. Hackett Senior, although the value of this gift can't be measured by its cost, it is indeed a little presentable. So, I've prepared another gift for Mrs. Hackett Senior."Moira laughed. "Don't tell me your other gift is also cosmetics, and it's those cheap ones.""Moira!" Selena was a little unhappy.However, Jack said patiently, "Of course not. This gift is worth muc
Jack explained, "I bought this beauty salon for Mrs. Hackett Senior. From now on, she'll be the owner of the salon, and she can go for beauty treatments whenever she wants."The Hacketts had a beautician at home, but they needed to go to a salon for certain treatment plans. It wouldn't be an issue for them to buy the equipment for it at home, but some treatment plans took two months to half a year to complete. The equipment they bought would often collect dust. So, going to a beauty salon was the affordable option for Selena. But there were complications with going to a beauty salon. She needed to make an appointment. And sometimes, there would be unforeseen circumstances. But if she missed an appointment, she had to schedule another one.Selena had wanted to buy a beauty salon long ago, but she had never found the right one.She really liked the beauty salon Jack chose, but the owner was wealthy. He seemed to have many businesses abroad, so his entire family moved there.
"Mom, I think you might have misunderstood. Why would Jack loan money from the bank? He can afford it himself."Upon hearing Cheryl's words, Moira laughed. "Cheryl, did you hear what you just said? How could a driver like him have so much money?"Cheryl also laughed. "Moira, Jack may be a driver, but do you know who he works for?""Who?" Moira seemed dismissive."Caroline.""So what if he does?"Seeing that Moira couldn't understand, Cheryl said bluntly, "Jack may be a driver, but he has another job, and that is to protect Caroline. In other words, he isn't just a driver, he's also a bodyguard."A look of surprise appeared on Moira's face, but then, she said disdainfully, "So what? He's just a driver-turned-bodyguard. We have tons of bodyguards at home. It doesn't matter if he earns thousands of dollars a month. He still can't afford to buy such a costly beauty salon."Cheryl didn't want to expose Jack's past. It would feel as if she was showing off. However, she said, "Haha,
Aiden said quickly, "Yeah, sure. But Jack, I'm sure you know what I mean. Cheryl isn't good at physical things, so I think it's great that you complement each other."Everyone laughed, completely overlooking Moira and Vincent nearby.Vincent also felt extremely embarrassed. He'd gone there because Moira had paid him to be her boyfriend. She told him he just needed to be there for everyone to praise him. But now, he had become a joke, and he was furious. As he thought of this, Vincent turned around and was about to leave.Seeing this, Moira quickly grabbed him. "Where are you going?"Vincent glanced at Aiden's family, who had already walked to the dining room. They didn't even notice that they had left them behind.Vincent hissed, "I'm getting out of here, of course. I'm not staying behind to let your sister's boyfriend humiliate me even more!""I didn't know he was… I thought he was just a driver. Don't leave yet. After all, you're a Sorkin. You're the son of the Sorkin f
Moira's and Vincent's faces turned dark when they heard Jack's words. They couldn't believe Jack actually got into Harford. However, it soon occurred to them that he might be bluffing."Are you really a Harford graduate? It wasn't some cheap knockoff, right?"Jack looked at them sincerely. "I really did graduate from Harford. You can check the official website if you don't believe me."Vincent and Moira didn't care that they were supposed to be having lunch. They simply took out their phones and searched Harford's official website. They thought it would take a while to find Jack's name, but when they opened the website, they saw a picture of Jack among the list of best alumni.Even after seeing it, Moira still couldn't believe Jack was there. How vexing! Although she didn't know where Vincent had studied exactly, it was most likely somewhere in Yudonia. Moira socialized among the wealthy heirs and heiresses in Easton. So, she knew very well where the ignorant and incompet
Vincent snickered. "He doesn't look like a genius at all."Aiden said, "You're judging a book by its cover. How are you so sure about what a genius should look like?""Anyway, he's just bluffing. There's no way he got into Harford by taking the exam.""I'm very sure you're illiterate or blind." Cheryl suddenly said, "Didn't you see Jack's grades on the website? Jack clearly got into Harford with straight A's. "Moreover, the person who wrote him a letter of recommendation was a physics professor at Harford who wouldn't let anyone cut corners. Don't tell me you're better than a physics professor."At that moment, Vincent and Moira saw Jack's grades, and their faces turned red from embarrassment. They regretted jumping the gun before getting their facts straight. If they had seen his grades, they could've mocked Jack in other ways."Well… So what? People who are good at studying are generally nerds. But Vincent's different. Not only is he a student from a university abroad, he ca
