Chapter 15
Hailey smiled and patiently explained to Joanna, “Joanna, stuff like celebrity calligraphy and paintings, ancient porcelain, and jade ware are worth millions of dollars. Making tens of millions of dollars from the price difference is normal. Of course, ordinary people can’t do this kind of work. Your brother has great skills!”
Even though Jason and Calista were not very well educated, they still knew about antiques. These things were worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but they were too far away from the world of ordinary people. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
They just didn’t expect their son to be working in this industry. They wondered, “Does he really have such great skills?”
“Ms. Fox, it’s getting late. Why don’t I take you home?” When he saw that Hailey was still talking to Joanna excitedly, Oliver thought, “One is bound to have a slip of the tongue if she talks too much. It’s not easy to explain how I got the ability. It’s better to send her back as soon as possible.”
Hailey replied, “I’m a little hungry. Let’s go and eat some food before going back.”
Jason hurriedly ordered Oliver, “Oliver, go and have a meal with Ms. Fox before sending her back.”
Hailey said goodbye to Jason and Calista.
After getting in the garage, Oliver asked Hailey, “Ms. Fox, why are you so kind to me?”
Hailey smiled and said, “It’s because you are a treasure. You have such excellent identification skills. If I don’t treat you well, you might just quit.”
For some reason, Oliver suddenly felt a little disappointed. The next moment, his phone rang. As it was connected to the Bluetooth on the car and the screen showed “Yvonne”, he answered it directly.
Yvonne’s voice sounded delicate on the phone. “Oliver, what are you doing? I have nothing to do at home. How about… We go out for dinner and watch a movie?”
“Dinner? Movie?” Oliver was stunned for a moment. Then, he glanced at Hailey, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and looking at her phone. He hesitated for a while before answering, “I have something to do tonight. Maybe next time, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Yvonne was obviously a little disappointed. “Well… How about tomorrow night? I’ll go with you after work.”
No matter how stupid Oliver was, he could read Yvonne’s obvious meaning.
In fact, Yvonne was one of the top five girls in the store. She was beautiful and had a good figure. She even had a good family background.
Oliver had just been dumped by his girlfriend, and his family was in a bad situation. He felt inferior. Even though he suddenly had strange abilities and improved his situation, his mind could not be changed in a short period of time.
After all, once bitten, twice shy.
He wondered, “Why is Yvonne suddenly treating me well? Is it because I’m the store manager now?”
While Oliver was pondering, Yvonne suddenly said again, “It’s set, then!” After that, she hung up the phone.
Hailey glanced at Oliver and said faintly, “Yvonne is confessing her love to you. She’s quite pretty. However, don’t you have a girlfriend?”
Oliver smiled bitterly. “She just broke up with me the day before because I’m poor.”
“Poor?” Hailey couldn’t help but laugh. She continued, “With your skills, who dares to think you are poor?”
Oliver didn’t answer, and Hailey did not say anything more. When she was about to ask where they would be eating, the phone rang again.
The caller ID was “Charlie” this time.
Charlie was Oliver’s classmate and also the monitor in high school. After graduating from university, he returned to this city to do business with his father. His family had very good conditions and a high net worth. He was known as the famous rich kid when he studied at the university.
Oliver hesitated for a while before answering the phone. His family situation was the most common one, and he was a nobody in class. After dating the prettiest girl in class, Isabel, his classmates were a little surprised.
“Oliver, why did it take so long to answer the phone? Where are you? We are at the Great Fortune Restaurant. All our classmates are here too. Don’t worry. I will treat you tonight!”
Oliver said, “Well… I really have something to do…”
“If you don’t come, you’re not respecting your classmates. Just comel You have to come even if you have urgent matters on your hands! Hurry up!” Charlie didn’t give him any chance to refuse.
Oliver looked at Hailey. Hailey didn’t say anything but gave him an “OK” gesture.
Oliver had no choice but to reply, “Okay. I’ll be there in a minute.”
After hanging up the phone, Hailey said, “You can eat with your classmates. I’ll have some food at Great Fortune Restaurant and then take a taxi back. You don’t need to take care of me.”
Hailey understood well that classmates were a circle of people who couldn’t be avoided or offended.
Great Fortune Restaurant was a famous restaurant. After parking, Oliver deliberately distanced himself from Hailey so that his classmates wouldn’t gossip about them.
As soon as he told the waiter who he was looking for, the waiter took him directly to Room 18. Hailey found a seat in the hall.
The private room was noisy. As soon as Oliver arrived, Charlie laughed and dragged him to his seat. “Hey, come sit next to
me!”
Oliver sat down and looked up to see Isabel sitting on the other side of Charlie.
Isabel didn’t even look at him. She seemed to be looking at her makeup on her phone.
There was a car key on the table in front of her, and the logo on it was BMW’s emblem..
Some people put their mobile phones, and some put their car keys in front of them.
At this time, Charlie stood up and shouted with his glasses in his hand, “Since almost everyone is here, I want to announce that Isabel and I will get married on the 28th of next month. You
guys must come! I will take this shot to show our sincerity
first!”
Oliver was stunned again. It turned out that Charlie insisted on calling him here because of this matter. However, he knew that Charlie had always been an arrogant and showy person. Charlie insisted on asking him to come in order to suppress him in all aspects and take him as a contrast.
Most of his classmates knew that Oliver and Isabel had been dating for two years. He was dating her because she happened to meet him after being injured in a relationship. He took care of her meticulously, and she fell for him eventually.
However, Isabel, who was materialistic, broke up with Oliver in the end.
Even though Oliver was a good man, he couldn’t give her the material life she wanted.
However, Charlie was different. The Kaiserman family had a net worth of over a few million dollars, and they earned a few hundred thousand dollars each year easily.
As soon as Charlie and Isabel met, they immediately hit it off. Isabel was beautiful, and she knew how to capture a man’s heart. Charlie was proud to take her out, and he could have fun with her at home.
Isabel was also satisfied with Charlie’s generosity. He bought her a BMW 5-series sedan, which cost nearly 100 thousand dollars.
After drinking a glass of wine, Charlie turned to Oliver and asked, “Oliver, you arrived so soon after I called. Did you come by car?”
Oliver said, “I drove here.”
“Oh, you have a car now!” Charlie sneered and added, “Is it a motorcycle or a shared bicycle?”
Oliver smiled and didn’t answer.

His heart, which had been broken by Isabel, seemed to be calm and indifferent.
However, Charlie didn’t let him off. He poured a glass of wine and pushed it to him. “Come on, drink up.”
Oliver slowly pushed it away and said, “I came here by car. I have to drive back later.”
Charlie replied, “Why are you mentioning cars when we asked you to drink? Are you afraid that your classmates don’t know you have a car? Which one of us doesn’t have a car? You’re not the only one who has a car. Come on, let’s see what car you havel”
