by Jack 18:22,Dec 11,2023
Brantson took Murline's hand and came to the old Madam of the Torres family.
The old Madam of the Torres family didn't like Murline at all. When she found Brantson standing next to her, she immediately showed an unhappy expression.
This waste of the Collins family, he was not dead?
Even if he was not dead, he still dared to come back after being missing for five years. Wasn't he afraid of bringing disaster to the Torres family?
Besides, the Collins family was now ruined. What would this loser do when he came back? Did he want to delay Murline remarriage?
Frosty was the one she wanted to curry favor with, and also wanted Murline to remarry him. She even gave him a special idea, asking him to prepare to propose to Murline at her birthday feast today. But this must not be stirred up by this waste!
At this time, Murline took out the porcelain she had prepared, handed it to the old Madam of the Torres family, and said respectfully, "Grandma, I wish you a long life and feel happy everyday. This is a gift from our family, and I hope you can like."
The old Madam of the Torres family frowned and asked, "Why isn't Mr. Bryant with you? I just see him in the yard!"
Murline Torres replied, "The Bryant family has gone bankrupt. Frosty is probably in a hurry to go home to deal with the matter and has left long ago."
The old Madam of the Torres family was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Bankrupt? The huge the Bryant family suddenly has gone bankrupt? How is it possible?"
The mother-in-law Quaneka looked embarrassed and said, "Mom, the Bryant family is indeed bankrupt, so Murline can no longer marry him."
The old Madam of the Torres family gradually calmed down and said calmly, "Well, let's look for a new one."
After saying that, she glanced at Brantson again and said coldly, "What is this waste doing here? Tell him to divorce Murline quickly!"
Murline said hurriedly, "Grandma, Brantson is my husband and your grandson-in-law. I will not divorce him or remarry someone else!"
The old Madam of the Torres family snorted coldly, "In the Torres family, when will it be your turn to make the decision?"
Just as Murline was about to speak, Deborah walked over with Mohan on his arm. She said to old Madam of the Torres family with a smile, "Grandma, Hayes knows you are celebrating your birthday this time, so he specially invites famous artists from the capital to carve a jade Buddha, using high-quality Hetian materials. The labor cost alone is 132,000 dollar!"
When old Madam of the Torres family heard this, her cloudy eyes lit up.
The labor cost of the Jade Buddha alone was 132,000 dollar, and the whole cost was estimated to be in the millions!
Although the Torres family had a rich family, most of it was real estate. Even the old lady's biological son and grandson were reluctant to spend millions to buy the old lady a birthday gift!
When Mohan saw everyone looking at him, he smiled slightly and sent someone to bring up the jade Buddha he had prepared.
Only seeing the lifelike carvings of the Jade Buddha, under the light, the color was crystal clear. Anyone who saw it would be happy.
Especially as old Madam of the Torres family got older, she became even more superstitious. When she saw the jade Buddha, she couldn't move her eyes away. She said well repeatedly, and then said with a pleasant face, "Mohan, you child, you are really thoughtful. "
"But you must not spend so much money next time. I am an old woman who is very happy if you can come."
As old Madam of the Torres family spoke, she reached out and took Mohan's hand, as if he was her own grandson.
Laurier also praised, "This child Mohan is already a school officer in the Golden War Zone at a young age. Deborah is lucky to have such an outstanding fiancé."
"Uncle, not at all." Mohan looked calm. At the same time he humbly said to old Madam of the Torres family, "As long as grandma is happy, spending a little money, what does it matter?"
When he said this, he glanced at Brantson, clearly wanting to show off his sense of superiority.
Deborah smiled and said, "Grandma, you don't know that my brother-in-law has been serving as a soldier for the past five years! But he seems to have no future. After five years of service, he is still a low-ranked soldier with no military rank!"
When old Madam of the Torres family heard this, she said in disgust, "He is still a low-ranked soldier after five years? What a useless! Garbage is indeed garbage! Once the Collins family is destroyed, this garbage will have no ability at all!"
Brantson couldn't help frowning.
Although he didn't take the Torres family seriously, it still made him a little angry to ridicule him like this.
If he had felt that he owed Murline too much for the past five years, he could have put the Torres family in jail with just one phone call!
At this moment, Deborah looked at Brantson who held a scroll in his hand and said with a smile, "Oh, brother-in-law, you have also prepared a birthday gift for grandma? What kind of antique calligraphy and painting are they? Take it out and show it to us!"
"So that crappy thing is a gift? I think it contains a calendar!"
"This gift is given without even a box. It is too shabby."
As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding guests and the Torres family immediately talked in succession.
Facing the ridicule of these people, Murline's expression changed again and again, almost losing her balance.
However, Brantson held her steady and gave her a reassuring look.
Then, he held up the birthday message and said calmly, "Giving gifts is the most important thing. This message was handwritten by an old friend of mine in the military. I wish you a long life and boundless happiness."
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the living room.
All the guests were silent.
The younger generation directly connected to the Torres family had dull expressions on their faces, looking at Brantson as if looking at a madman.
Deborah's brother, Mekell Torres, pretended to be shocked and said loudly, "You are just a low-ranked soldier after five years in military. Your old friend in the army is at most a lieutenant platoon leader, right? How can you use the rubbish as a gift?"
