“These things must individually cost more than that golden tortoise, right?”
“Yeah… These are probably all antique items…”
“That golden tortoise isn’t even an antique, is it?”
“No, it isn’t…”
The relatives began discussing softly among themselves.
When May Conner listened to them, she immediately felt embarrassed again.
If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have boasted and made the comparison earlier!
Seeing how pleased her father appeared, Xyla felt very thankful to the Batton family.
Xyla’s gaze softened.
“Isn’t Stanley’s parents being too generous? These gifts prove how important Xyla is in the family.”
“Oh my god. The amount of wealth on display here seems even grander than the gifts emperors give as rewards in those period dramas.”
“Indeed, the Batton family is supremely wealthy. Even their gifts are unusually expensive.”
These relatives were all staring at these gifts, and they seemed to desire them more than anything.
Suddenly, they all wished they were Jeremy Quest.
While listening to everyone’s compliments, Jeremy felt very satisfied.
“Honey, take them to a place where they can put all these gifts away,” Jeremy said.
After that, Jeremy thought about how he needed to give his in-laws expensive gifts in return when the time came.
Only then would Xyla’s reputation be upheld in his in-law’s family.
Since May couldn’t stop fidgeting in her seat, she immediately stood up and led the men in black away to put those gifts away.
“Xyla… I mentioned meeting our in-laws previously. Have you made the arrangements?” Jeremy sat down next to Xyla and asked.
