Chapter 24 The Gift Is Real!

Mrs. Xie was ecstatic. She had never seen such an expensive luxury in her life, let alone wearing it. Dale was too ashamed and angry to look at Abe at all. He lowered his head that was raised high just now in dejection. Abe sneered in his heart. All this was because of his identity. The project leader and shareholder of Mingyang Corp. was a more dazzling position for the Xie family than the chairman position of Helen's Yueji Cosmetic Corp.. "Helen, Abe gave you a gift too. Take it over and see what it is!" "Yes, yes, open it up!" Helen glanced at Abe helplessly, took out the gift box and opened it directly. It was quiet! In a moment, everyone in the room was quiet. Even Dale looked at the present in front of him in full disbelief. "This is 'Purple Heart ', the treasure of Jade Pavilion." Dale was discerning, and almost instantly recognized the origin of the gift. "'Purple Heart'? how much is it?" Mrs. Xie blinked and looked at Dale with a touch of joy on her face. Since even Dale exclaimed, it meant that this amethyst necklace must be very valuable. "Five and six hundred thousand dollars." Dale took a breath of cold air. His head was buzzing. Abe was nothing more than a loser who got lucky. How could he possibly take out five hundred and sixty thousand dollars to buy 'Purple Heart'. Even if Helen had opened Yueji Cosmetic Corp., a sum as large as 5.6 million dollars was not something that could be spent easily. And it was spent on a gift. The eyes of the other family members all fell on Helen's face, full of envy and jealousy. Compared with 'Purple Heart’, the jade bracelets sent by Dale were completely not comparable. The gap between them was like the gap between heaven and earth. They were jealous that it was not their own daughters who were given such a gift. But at this moment, they had forgotten that they still ruthlessly mocked the gift-giver just now. Dale looked at Abe with some resentment, tried to force out a smile, and asked, "I'm a little curious. You have been living in the Xie family for the past few years, and you have always been a small employee of Mingyang Corp.. How did you suddenly become a shareholder of it?" "The last time I saw that you were close to Bonita, the president of Mingyang Corp., and she has always been single. I don't know if you are favored by her." Dale didn't say these vaguely, but none of the people present were fools. They understood the meaning of Dale's words. This clearly meant that Abe became a shareholder of Mingyang Corp. because of being close to Bonita and becoming her toy boy. In other words, Abe's status as either a project leader or a shareholder of Mingyang Corp. at the moment was nothing more than a compensation from Bonita. In an instant, the expression on Mrs. Xie's face changed, and an angry look appeared in the blink of an eye. "Abe! What a loser you are! I thought you really achieved something, but it never occurred to me that you got all of that by being others' toy boy! You've disgraced our Xie family!" Mrs. Xie's face was extremely dark. She stared at Abe with fixed and widened eyes. She thought that this trash really made progress, but he actually became a toy boy. Maybe the gifts he gave were bought with the money from being the toy boy of others. The other relatives were also disdainful, and there were even two women who spat at Abe. Abe's pupils contracted instantly and he glanced at Dale. He did not expect that Dale would play such a trick. He deliberately exposed his identity to set up this trap for him. If Abe was really kept by Bonita as a toy boy as he said, then he set up this trap at the right time. But Abe was a toy boy! "Dale, what do you mean? Wasn't that enough of a lesson for you before?" Abe narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently. Previously, Dale swelled with arrogance. Abe had unilaterally banned his Junfa Company on behalf of Mingyang Corp. in public. However, he did not learn the lesson, but instead pressed Abe more and more. "What do I mean? Abe, you dared to do that but you didn't dare to admit? Otherwise, how could you become a shareholder of Mingyang Corp.? How could Mingyang Corp. put you in charge of the whitening and anti-aging factor project?" Dale watched Abe's face change, and couldn't help feeling delighted. Turning his head to Helen, he said, "Otherwise, you can ask Helen to see if she believes you?" Dale pointed to Helen, looking smug. Abe's heart suddenly thumped. It didn't occur to him that Dale would get Helen involved in this. If it was just an argument between him and Dale, then he had nothing to fear. But once Helen was involved, even if Abe was not a toy boy, it would be difficult for him to explain some things. "Abe, I've been thinking about this all night but I still haven't figured it out. I want you to explain it to me." Helen looked up at Abe with a slight pale face, and there were light dark circles beneath her beautiful eyes. With just a glance, Abe knew that Helen must not have slept well last night. But facing her question, Abe didn't know how to answer. It was impossible for him to tell her that he became the shareholder of Mingyang Corp. because he had the whitening anti-aging factor patent and held 60% shares of the project. How was it possible for a poor and useless man to be related to the America Stanford Lab.? Who would believe it? "If you believe me, you wouldn't ask me." Abe looked at Helen seriously, and his tone was calm. He had thought it over. He loved Helen, but there were always various obstacles in reality. If Abe’s previous identity and status were obstacles, then Helen’s distrust in him was the current hindrance. "Abe, is there anything that can't be said directly? If it weren't for your relationship with Bonita, you might still be the same like before. " Dale saw that Helen seemed to be still in love with Abe, so he questioned again. And Mrs. Xie and the rest of the Xie family also echoed. They looked down on Abe from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, in such a short time, Abe had gone from being the shareholder of Mingyang Corp. that they needed to look up to, to being a little toy boy, which made them even more disdainful to him. "Humph! Helen, this wimp is not a good person at all, and he has become someone’s toy boy. You now have enough reasons to divorce him!" Mrs. Xie yelled and took out a divorce agreement directly. Abe recognized the divorce agreement. When he brought his mother to Xie's house before, Mrs. Xie took out such a divorce agreement in front of him. That night, he didn't sign this agreement. However, it appeared in front of him again. "Abe, aren't you even willing to give me an explanation?" Helen's face was a bit pained, and her beautiful eyes were dull. The time of a whole night was too torturous. She had not come out of what happened last night. "I repeat, I have nothing to do with Ms. Shen. As for this divorce agreement, I think we should calmly think about it before we sign it." Abe took a deep breath and calmed himself, before saying softly. "I came here today just to celebrate mother's birthday. Since I'm so unwelcome, I won't upset you guys here anymore." Abe finished speaking coldly and was about to leave directly. "Humph! Who is your mother? I have nothing to do with you!" Mrs. Xie sneered, and turned her head directly, not looking at Abe. Abe glanced at Helen with complicated eyes. Helen opened her mouth and wished to speak but stopped on a second thought. "Take care of yourself. I'm leaving." With that, Abe took a look at Dale coldly, smiled scornfully, turned around and left. After leaving Xie’s house, he did not return to the sanatorium, otherwise his mom would definitely make a detailed inquiry about what happened. Wandering around, Abe unconsciously came to Mingyang Corp.. "I guess I can only stay here now." With a wry smile, Abe walked directly into the company. "Mr. Chou, why are you here?" Abe looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw Elva standing not far away and looking at him with surprise as if caught sight of something strange. "Well? Can't I come?" Seeing Elva, Abe felt relieved immediately, and couldn't help but joked. "Sure, you can. Ms. Shen is also here." Elva said, pointing at Abe's office. Bonita was also here? Abe was taken aback. This surprised him a little. "What is Ms. Shen doing here?" Abe asked suspiciously, and walked towards his office unhurriedly. Gently pushing open the office door, Abe immediately saw that Bonita was sitting in front of his desk, and concentrating on checking the information. Her long hair was tied behind her head, and her pretty face was fair and delicate under the sunlight. Such a simple and elegant appearance made Abe's mind wander. Even if Bonita and Helen were rumored to be the two beauties of Baolai Street before, Abe didn't feel that way. At this time, at a glimpse of Bonita's appearance, he was enthralled slightly.
