My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 458

Although he was harboring such evil thoughts, Cayden looked elegant and refined on the surface.

Cayden came to Martin's table with his gift. He gave a deep and respectful bow.

"Hello, Mr. Howard Sr. I am Cayden. I'm deeply honored to be invited to your birthday banquet. My grandfather, Arthur Huxley, knew that it was your birthday and specially instructed me to bring you a gift. I hope you will be kind enough to accept it."

Martin smiled and nodded. "Arthur is a rare business genius in our country. I appreciate his kind intentions."

However, Brad was staring unhappily at Cayden. Brad knew that the four rich young masters of New York, including Cayden, had designs on Lauren.

All those four men had tried to woo Lauren. In the end, Brad had hired men to beat up one of them.

Fortunately, Brad had quietly sent men to protect Lauren at Cafe Nostalgia. Otherwise, who knew what kind of obscene things those four lawless young masters would do to her!

Brad glanced at Cayden's gift. It was wrapped in festive packaging, but he didn't know what was inside.

Brad asked, "Cayden, what kind of gift is it? Why does it look like a brick?"

From the way Cayden held the gift with both hands, Brad could tell that it must be quite heavy.

Before Cayden could explain, Brad snatched the gift

over.

"Wow, it's quite hefty."

Brad weighed it in his hands. This gift weighed nearly 20 kg. Usually, the lighter the gift, the more valuable it was. Why was Cayden's gift so heavy?

Brad tore the wrapping off and everyone saw that it was a stone! A black, hard and ugly stone!

"F*ck!" Brad looked disgusted. "Brad, you're really from a second-rate family. I knew you wouldn't be able to match up. If you don't have money, don't go around offering gifts. What do you mean by giving my grandfather this stone?!"

Cayden was furious. Brad had called his family second-rate and said that he couldn't match up! In the past, he was the one who always looked down on others, for example, Tyler Collins! But then again, the Howard family was indeed more powerful than the Huxley family.

Caught up in this situation, Cayden could only swallow his anger and explain with a smile. "Mr. Howard, you've misunderstood. This isn't an ordinary stone. It's a meteorite from outer space."

"A meteorite from outer space?!"

Everyone in the Howard family was shocked.

This object came from outer space. That was awesome. This was not something that could be found on Earth. As rich as one was, could you buy something from outside Earth?

Cayden explained smugly, "Mr. Howard Sr., my grandfather was in the Atacama Desert in 1997 when this meteorite happened to land beside him. Today is the anniversary of that day. The same day as your birthday, Mr. Howard Sr. Seeing that this meteorite is so fated with you, grandfather wanted to gift it to you."

Martin was quite astounded. "What a coincidence!"

Cayden explained, "Everyone, this is not an ordinary stone. This is a rare pallasite meteorite. Actually, my grandfather previously cut open a corner. Let me show you."

It turned out that a corner of the meteor had been cut open, but the cut was covered up.

Cayden uncovered the cut and revealed the translucent olive-green crystals inside. Everyone was instantly stunned!
