CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: BECOMING A GREEN-EYED MONSTER

The sudden act of smashing a phone was unexpected.

It left the others in the meeting room somewhat bewildered!

Miles Jacobs noticed something was wrong and hurriedly dismissed everyone from the room.

Once the last person left, he closed the door and locked it.

"Lord Keaton, what happened? Has your whereabouts been discovered?"

Miles Jacobs carefully recalled his actions recently, reassuring himself that he hadn’t disclosed Kyle Keaton’s identity, which gave him some relief.

"No." The man’s expression was still terrible, like a sky shrouded in dark clouds.

"Then what is it?" Miles Jacobs pressed on.

"I acquired a winery."

"A winery?"

Miles Jacobs was stunned, feeling like the man in front of him was boasting about his gains with the worst possible tone—a real Versailles.

But this man was his high-profile client; how could Miles Jacobs dare to mock him?

"Isn’t that a good thing?"

Miles Jacobs felt as if he was about to turn into a jealousy monster.

A winery, worth at least a billion.

Which meant Kyle Keaton got at least a billion for free just now.

Yet he looked as if he had been insulted...

If it were Miles Jacobs who received a free winery, he wouldn’t mind such an insult and would even hope for more.

But Kyle Keaton only gave him a cold glance: "A good thing? Ha..."

This is what that scheming woman July Quinn used to shut him up.

The fury was completely ignited.

Staying in this meeting room any longer, he feared he’d lose control and rage.

So he ignored Miles Jacobs and left on his own.

Watching Kyle Keaton’s hurried departure, Miles Jacobs could only let out a soft sigh: "Ah, I really don’t understand you rich people..."

*

When Nathan Jacobs heard the news that Verona Winery had been transferred by July Quinn, he happened to be visiting The Quinn Family.

Feeling deeply humiliated at Charles Quinn’s birthday banquet yesterday, Nathan Jacobs went to a bar and got dead drunk.

It was Nina Quinn who found him and took him home.

After a night of indulgence, Nathan Jacobs regained his masculine confidence.

So early this morning, he prepared a generous gift, intending to apologize to Charles Quinn.

"Uncle, I’m really sorry about yesterday. I didn’t expect such an oversight to happen."

However, Charles Quinn’s reaction to his apology was lukewarm.

"Master Jacobs, have a seat."

Charles Quinn was brewing tea, but didn’t invite Nathan Jacobs to drink.

If not for that Assistant Keaton’s timely rescue yesterday, they might still be subjected to mockery due to Nathan Jacobs’ lapse.

Whenever he thought about this, Charles Quinn didn’t have much fondness for him.

Nathan Jacobs naturally knew that Charles Quinn not inviting him to tea was giving him a hard time.

But even so, Nathan Jacobs could only brace himself and hand over the prepared gift box.

"Uncle, this is a set of white jade chess pieces. My father heard you like playing chess and specifically asked me to bring it to you."

Charles Quinn opened the gift box in Nathan Jacobs’ presence and saw the chess pieces, each crafted from superior white jade, valued at over a million, which slightly improved his mood.

"You are considerate."

Charles Quinn asked Amanda Ford to put away the gift box and then invited Nathan Jacobs to drink tea.

Amanda Ford packed the gift box and seemingly casually asked, "By the way, Master Jacobs, wasn’t that person more than just your uncle’s assistant yesterday?"

Amanda Ford hadn’t forgotten Kyle Keaton’s handsome face and overwhelming presence.

It always felt like the assistant wasn’t an ordinary person.

Especially possessing the Golden Kapok Card from Angela Bank!

If that person were truly a notable figure in the elite circle, then July Quinn marrying him wouldn’t be a loss.

Importantly, their family could leverage this connection to step into that circle.

However, Nathan Jacobs let out a light chuckle: "Aunt, if he isn’t my uncle’s assistant, then who is he?"

"But he possesses the Golden Kapok Card from Angela Bank and is a member of Angela Club, right?"

The Angela Club, Amanda Ford had heard of countless times in the socialite circle.

Though so far, no one from their small circle had joined, nor did they know anyone who did.

If her son-in-law were truly a member of Angela Club, she could almost imagine how envious people would look at her when she bragged about it in that circle!

But this time, Amanda Ford was met with Nathan Jacobs’ unconcealed cold laughter.
