Jason started again, “Auntie, please don’t tell Claire about our plan. I’m arranging an apology ceremony for her and I need your help!”
Elaine replied, “Of course! You young people are romantic all over! Okay! I promise I won’t spill the beans to her!”
Elaine spent the rest of the morning daydreaming repeatedly about the million-dollar present that Jason had prepared for her.
What could it be? She didn’t even have the mood to play cards anymore and quickly rushed to the Divine Lounge to meet up with Jason when it was time.
What would the gift be? Jewelry? Diamonds? Cash? A cheque? Or something else?
For people like Elaine who were on the fiddle, Jason’s lucrative gift was such an alluring attraction.
The other day, when she had used Claire’s cheque to pay for the hospital bill and exploited 160,000 dollars from it, she was so happy that she had grinned over her cleverness for days.
Hence, the thought of getting a million-dollar gift from Jason immediately sent her to cloud nine!
At 11.30 am, Elaine bid farewell to her friends, took a taxi, and went straight to the Divine Lounge.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she stood by the door as agreed and waited for Jason to come.
Soon, a brand new black Mercedes Benz slowly rolled to a stop in front of her.
Then, the car door opened, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the car.
It was Jason.
He was very handsome and stylish. The only downside was that he was limping.
A lot of ladies were attracted by Jason’s cool looks and the awesome Mercedes Benz, but when they saw that he was limping, they sighed dejectedly and walked away.
All of these minor expressions from the onlookers fell into Jason’s sight and made his blood boil. He hated Joe and Anthony to the core and wanted them to be wiped off the face of the earth completely.
However, Elaine was standing not far from him, so he suppressed the anger and hatred, limping toward Elaine with a gentle smile on his face.
“Hi, Auntie. Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Oh, no, Jason, I just arrived…”
Then, she peeked at the brand new Mercedes Benz behind Jason and asked in surprise, “Oh, is that your new car?”
Jason smiled politely. “Yes. It’s a Mercedes Benz S500. I just got it from the showroom today. It’s not very expensive anyway, just over 1.6 million.”
Then, he handed the car key to Elaine and said, “Auntie, please accept this key.”
Elaine frowned in confusion upon taking the key and asked, “Jason, what is the meaning of this?”
“Auntie, this is the gift I told you about over the phone! I saw that Uncle and Claire both have a BMW, but you don’t have a car yet. It’s such a pity for someone of your status.”
Elaine was extremely thrilled. “Oh, Jason, you shouldn’t have! This is so expensive!”
Despite her remark, she was clutching the car key tightly in her hand and had no intention of returning it to Jason.
Of course, Jason sensed this and said, “Honestly, Uncle and Claire are driving the lower class BMW 5 Series, their combined total doesn’t even exceed a million. This S500 is so much better and luxurious than theirs, I think you are very suited to drive the classy Mercedes Benz. It is my little token of affection, so, please accept it.”
Elaine was over the moon!
She was the stereotypical representative of the kind of a snobbish and greedy mother-in-law!
There was nothing in her mind but money!
For her, the most important element she looked for in a son-in-law was that they must be rich and willing to spend money on her.
Otherwise, they were nothing but stinky shit in her eyes no matter how good they were.
A man like Jason was the best candidate for a son-in-law because he was willing to spend money on his mother-in-law!
He was already so generous and had given her a Mercedes Benz as a gift even before he was together with her daughter, what would happen if Claire married him? Would he give her a big mansion or a lavish yacht?
She was extremely delighted, and her imagination ran wild!
However, she still had to be polite superficially. Grabbing Jason’s arm, she said earnestly, “Jason, I’m touched by your generosity, but the car is very expensive. Would it truly be okay if I accepted it just like that?”
“Why wouldn’t it be?” Jason answered. “Auntie, it’s my token of appreciation, just take it!”
Elaine grinned like a dog with two tails upon his serious expression. She put the key into her handbag and said happily, “Then, I’ll accept it graciously! Thank you so much, Jason!”
Her naked expression of greed and snobbishness fell into Jason’s cautious glance instantly. He sneered secretly and thought that the plan he and his father had hatched would be realized successfully thanks to Elaine’s snobbery!
As this thought ran quietly through his mind, he politely smiled and said, “Auntie, don’t just stand here at the door, let’s go in.”
Elaine nodded with a wide grin. “Sure, sure, let’s go in, then!”
When they walked into the restaurant, Jason asked the waiter to take them to the reserved seat and ordered a table of expensive and lavish cuisine.
In the middle of their lunch, Jason cleared his throat, put on a guilty tone, and said, “Auntie, I’m sorry for bringing a quack to visit Uncle at the hospital the other day. It was my mistake, I’m sorry!”
Elaine donned a warm smile. “Silly child, don’t be! I’ve never blamed you! You were a victim too!”
Jason nodded. Then, he glanced at Elaine and said sincerely, “Auntie, frankly speaking, I like Claire. I want to marry her and make her my wife, I wonder if you will be okay with it?”
Elaine shrieked excitedly, “Of course, of course! I completely agree! Honestly, I’ve already regarded you as my future son-in-law!”
Jason sighed, “Thank you for supporting me, but I’m worried that Claire still holds a grudge against me. If we don’t resolve the misunderstanding between us, I don’t think I can be with her ever.”
“Hush, it’s just a small matter. You guys can just talk it out! I can even help you talk to her!”
Jason knew that this was the perfect timing to make his move. He said, “Auntie, actually, I planned to apologize and confess to Claire in person. I have an idea. My family has a mansion by the river. I’ll set up a candlelight dinner tonight, buy some flowers, and do some decorations around the house. Please bring Claire to the mansion so that I can apologize to her in person and make a confession. Maybe, if she’s okay with it, she’ll agree to be with me!”
“Wow! Jason, you are so attentive, I’m impressed!” Elaine blinked delightedly and continued, “Okay, I’ll call Claire now!”
Then, she took out her phone and was about to call Claire.
Jason grinned slyly, but he said in an earnest tone, “Auntie, please don’t tell her that it was my idea, she may not want to come if she knows!”
Then, he added, “Tell her this instead. Tell her that your friend has a mansion by the river that needs renovation and wants to hire her to take on the project. She is so ambitious, I’m sure she will say yes when she hears that there is a business opportunity waiting for her. Then, you can come with her and be my wingwoman when I confess to her!”
Elaine blurted out, “Wow, that sounds like a brilliant plan! Okay, let’s go with your plan!”
A tinge of sinister vibe flashed across Jason’s eyes as he thought to himself, ‘Later tonight, I’ll get my hands on Claire first. And then, after charming this old vixen, I’ll trick Joe into coming to the mansion and kill him!”
Elaine is a disgrace honestly. I hope she ends up Divorced by Claire’s father
Elaine is greedy and stupid. How can she fall into trap so easily. I can’t wait for Joe to deal with Jason and his father.
