My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 83

Manny Lowe was also scared out of her wits. Since the three of them had come together, she was also responsible for this mess.

Her husband also ran his own company, with a total profit of about three million dollars a year. In addition, her daughter ran a restaurant, so it was no problem to fork out a few million dollars. But the key point was that people said that it would cost seven million dollars at least. How much would it cost in actuality? Ten million dollars? Twenty million dollars? The sky was the limit.

Manny didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The woman in hot pants was dumbfounded. She looked down at the broken pieces on the floor and thought, "These things are actually so valuable?"

"Please wait for a moment. I'll contact our boss. You can compensate him after I check with him!" The receptionist said.

"No, I don't have that much money."

The woman with tight jeans got up from the ground. If she called her husband, she would not be able to keep her marriage. She would be beaten up and kicked by her husband, and she would never defend herself.

"Sorry, this vase was broken by three of you, so you must compensate for it!" The receptionist was serious now.

She took out the walkie-talkie and prepared to contact the boss.

The woman with the tight jeans was scared out of her wits. She was crying even harder, and her makeup was ruined. She was very desperate.

"Manny, ask Zelda to come over. She must know the boss here personally since she is so successful," the woman with hot pants said in a hurry.

Manny came to her senses and quickly called Zelda Maine on the phone. Soon, her daughter answered the phone. "Mom, I have something to deal with at my restaurant. Wait a minute, I'll be there later..."

"No, that's not it." Manny was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"What's wrong? Mom? What happened?" Zelda became nervous.

"I… I’m at the Hill Hotel with the ladies. We broke an antique vase here, and they said it is worth at least seven million dollars..." Manny burst into tears. She really felt wronged.

Seven million dollars was alright. But what if it was twenty million dollars?

"Mom, please wait for me. I'll be right there! I'll be right there!"

The phone hung up!

The three women stood up from the ground with each other's help and wiped each other's tears. Now, they were so scared that they leaned against the corner and did not dare to speak at all.

At the front desk, the receptionist had already begun to contact the hotel owner.

At this time, a Rolls-Royce arrived at the entrance. The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in. He looked elegant with a string of antique beads on his wrist, which was particularly eye-catching. At first glance, it was obvious he was a rich man who collected antiques.

He came in and said to the receptionist, "I mean, Miss Carson, where is your boss? Let me have a good talk with him. How many times have I come here? Let him sell me the blue-and-white

porcelain he’s been using to decorate his hotel. Somehow, he never agrees to it. How can such a treasure be put in such a place? If it is accidentally broken, it will be a waste of the treasure! Call your boss over and this time I will offer 30 million to buy the blue-and-white porcelain. See if he sells it to me, if he insists not too, I will no longer be his friend!!!"

"30 million?"

The woman with the tight jeans was scared silly. She sat down on the ground again and couldn't stop her tears from falling. She was devastated at hearing those words.

Manny was shocked too. 30 million? Oh my God! It's so expensive. These vases were so expensive that they were worth more than her daughter’s restaurant chain!

Manny cried pitifully. She was so upset. How could this have happened?

The woman with hot pants widened her eyes and was caught in a distressed daze.

The middle-aged man came in and saw the broken pieces of china on the ground. He was stunned, his face was ashen as if he had lost a child!

"Director Smith, this blue-and-white porcelain can't be sold."

The receptionist was helpless. Since this rich man had come to the hotel the first time, he had taken interest in this blue-and-white porcelain vase. From the first offer of ten million dollars to the twenty- eight million dollars the last time, the hotel owner did not agree to selling it at all, but today the rich man had actually offered thirty million dollars...

"Who the hell broke it! There are only ten of such blue-and-white porcelain vases in the whole country, but one of them has been broken by you! I'll beat you to death!" The middle-aged man glared at Manny and the other two!

Manny and the other two ladies were already very frightened. Now that they were scolded by the middle-aged man, the three women were so upset that they cried at the same time. They held on to each other and did not dare to speak.

"I've been taking a fancy to this blue-and-white porcelain for several years, and I can't believe you guys have done this!" The middle-aged man roared, and the more he shouted, the angrier he became.

"Director Smith, please calm down." The receptionist had to say so, otherwise, it would affect the other guests.

"Where is your boss? How much are they going to compensate him?" the middle-aged man asked.

"The boss hasn't called back yet... Wait, the boss has called back. Wait a minute!"

The receptionist took out the mobile phone and answered the phone. She immediately nodded and said, "Boss, you said 35 million dollars, right? Okay, boss, don't worry. I'll make them pay for it..."

After the phone call, Manny and the other two cried even more loudly. The woman with the tight jeans was already stunned. So much money, even if she were to sell herself, it would not be enough to pay that staggering amount!

Manny cried continuously, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Her husband had said that it was invaluable, and it would only be more and more expensive as they spoke. Now it was 35 million dollars? Even if they were to share the burden, she would have to fork out 10 million dollars, which would damage her family's wealth significantly.

"35 million? It's so kind of your boss. If it were me, I would have beaten them to death!"

The middle-aged man pondered and suddenly said, "I'll give them one million, no, two million! I'll give them two million!"

The receptionist said, "Director Smith, what are you..."

Manny and the other two were dumbfounded. What was he going to do?

"It’s nothing. I'll pay them two million dollars. Give me all the pieces. Don't miss any of them. Go and pack all of them for me. I'll go and find someone to piece them together."

"What? But it is broken, Director Smith!" The receptionist was also confused.

No matter how valuable the antique was, it had to be in good condition to keep its value. To put it bluntly, the broken vase here was just a pile of rubbish, which should be thrown away!

But this rich man offered two million for it?

Manny and the other two ladies were even more shocked. At the same time, they cried even more desperately. He was willing to use two million to buy a pile of broken shards, which could only mean that this blue-and-white porcelain vase was really worth 35 million!

"I know. That's it. I'll transfer money to your boss right away. Anyway, it's all the same for me." Before the receptionist could react, the middle-aged man immediately called to ask his assistant to transfer the money.

He rushed out and took out a box from the car. As soon as he came over, he began to collect the pieces of debris carefully, not letting go of any minute shard.

The receptionist was silent at first. Then, she became serious and said, "You three can discuss it. Director Smith has paid 2 million, and the remaining 33 million still has to be forked out by you. Please raise the money to solve the problem!"

"No, I don't have that much money, I don't..." The woman in tight-fitting jeans cried sadly and desperately.

The receptionist frowned.

At this time, Zelda Maine, who drove over, quickly came in the lobby. Manny and the other two ladies cried even harder.

"Mom, don't cry." Zelda walked over.

"My girl..." Manny wailed.

"Zelda... We... Boohoo..." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Zelda sighed. When she saw the rich man picking up fragments on the ground, she felt distressed. She asked, "How much money do you need?"

"33 million," the receptionist replied promptly.

Zelda was shocked that it was so expensive. When she drove over, she thought it was worth about ten million, but she didn't expect to have to pay so much money. As it was thirty million, she didn't have so much cash, and she couldn't sell the restaurant either.

Manny saw that her daughter's face had turned pale, and she was crying harder. "Zelda... I'm sorry..."

"It's alright, I'll think of a way now," Zelda said with a bitter smile.

"Zelda, don't you know this hotel’s boss?" asked the woman with tight jeans.

Zelda shook her head. She didn't know him personally. The owner of this hotel was super rich. She was not at the same social status as he was. How could she have known him?

"What should we do? Why don't... Why don't we look for your boyfriend? He might know the boss here?"

"Yes, call your boyfriend and ask him."

The three women suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

Zelda was silent. She hesitated. "Wouldn’t this bring trouble for Chuck? But what can I do?" She sighed and took out her mobile phone and called Chuck.
