Chapter 205: Chapter 205
Everett Family Residence.
"Sir and Madam, the Quinn family sent over a lot of things..." Butler Lafayette hurriedly walked in to report to Jocelyn Sterling and Ivan Everett.
Upon hearing this, Jocelyn and Ivan’s brows instantly furrowed, "Just tell them we’re not here and ask them to take the things back."
"Well..." Butler Lafayette had a troubled expression on his face, "Sir and Madam, this might not be possible. Master Damian is personally waiting at the door with the items. It seems that if he can’t see you, he won’t leave!"
Hearing this, Jocelyn and Ivan also showed expressions of difficulty. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Damian Quinn to be so shameless!
Ivan pondered for a moment and then spoke up, "Let him in!"
Butler Lafayette immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, sir."
"What are you doing?" Jocelyn, displeased, threw the pillow from the sofa at him, "Didn’t you promise me before not to have dealings with the Quinn family anymore?"
Last time, when they tried to call off the engagement with the Quinn family, Old Mrs. Quinn stubbornly twisted things around, and they couldn’t end it. Jocelyn had wracked her brain to come up with such a plan.
As long as the relationship between the two families cooled and they severed ties, Old Mrs. Quinn wouldn’t insist on making Serena fulfill the engagement.
Ivan, doting on his precious daughter, thought about it carefully and agreed to it.
"Honey, don’t be mad... listen to me!" Seeing Jocelyn upset, Ivan quickly moved closer to appease her. "I let Damian Quinn in just to tell him face to face that we absolutely won’t agree to this marriage, and he should give up! Otherwise, if he keeps standing at our door, it won’t sound good if word gets out!"
Jocelyn’s anger dissipated at this, and she nodded in agreement, only then did Butler Lafayette dare to follow the instructions.
After all, their master was henpecked, and without the lady’s approval, nothing was final.
Damian Quinn strode in with long legs, dignified and courteous, making it impossible for anyone to find fault with him.
If it weren’t for that matter, besides his age being quite a bit older than Serena, he would indeed be the most satisfactory choice of son-in-law for them, and they wouldn’t be so opposed to the marriage.
"Ahem ahem ahem," Ivan Everett coughed lightly. "You’re busy with affairs, no need to visit often."
The unwelcome tone was evident in the underlying meaning, yet Damian Quinn showed no sign of anger and instead spoke with a gentle tone.
"Uncle is right, however, I had the privilege of acquiring an antique at an auction yesterday, and I wanted Uncle to appraise it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Damian Quinn glanced over, and Chase Sherman immediately and carefully took out the item, placing it in front of Ivan Everett.
Ivan Everett had a love for collecting antiques. When he saw the Gold-Described Shell Carving, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Not bad, not bad. This Gold-Described Shell Carving is of the finest quality, preserved exceptionally well, a top-tier piece!"
"Uncle still has the same discerning eye. Hence, I gift this Gold-Described Shell Carving to you."
Ivan Everett was immediately troubled. Of course, he liked the Gold-Described Shell Carving, but they had resolved to cut ties with the Quinn family. How could they sever ties if they accepted their gifts?
Seeing Ivan Everett’s hesitant look, Jocelyn discontentedly furrowed her eyebrows, just as she was about to speak, Damian Quinn gracefully continued.
"Aunt, knowing you like to grow plants, I acquired a Fishbone Green Velvet Flower at the auction yesterday and brought it specially for you today."
Damian Quinn’s usually cold and distant demeanor changed, with a slight smile hanging on his handsome, enchanting face.
Even when he didn’t smile, he was already stunning, let alone now when he did!
Jocelyn found it pleasing to the eye and couldn’t bring herself to say anything unpleasant in front of his smiling face. For origınal chapters go to ⓝovelFire.net
Seeing their attitudes soften, Damian Quinn’s expression became serious and earnest, "I don’t know what happened that caused some misunderstandings, Uncle and Aunt, but I am sincere about Serena. You two are welcome to test me."
This child not only looked good, the things he said were also comforting, even though they had treated him coldly before, he didn’t get angry!
Could it be that the matter with Crystal Joyce was something they truly misunderstood?
Jocelyn and Ivan glanced at each other, both thinking simultaneously: It seems we need to thoroughly investigate this matter again!
Standing on the side witnessing all of this, Chase Sherman couldn’t help but silently marvel in his heart.
Master Damian is truly a strategist. In just a short time, he managed to soften the disapproving attitudes of Ivan Everett and Jocelyn Sterling towards him.
Elliot Everett, upon learning that Damian Quinn came to the Everett residence, rushed back from the company right away. As soon as he entered the house, he overheard Damian Quinn’s recent speech and immediately let out a cold laugh.
The old beast came to charm his parents? He wouldn’t let him succeed so easily!
"Mom, Dad, I know you like antiques and plants, so I specifically bid for them at an international auction. You don’t need to accept things from others."
Yesterday at the auction, everything he had his eye on was bid on by Damian Quinn. He immediately went to an international auction to bid on a batch of even more precious antiques and plants, which were air-freighted overnight and had already arrived.
As he spoke, Elliot Everett had already ordered Butler Lafayette to present the items.
Jocelyn and Ivan both showed expressions of delight and joyfully spoke.
"Oh, isn’t this what I’ve always wanted! Elliot, you’re so thoughtful!"
"I’ve been searching for this series of blue and white porcelain, and this is the one piece I was missing for a complete set. You truly are a good son to your father!"
Damian Quinn’s deep, narrow eyes instantly narrowed dangerously, biting down hard on his back molars. Here comes someone to spoil his plan again!
If it weren’t for the fact that Elliot was Serena’s older brother, he would really want to teach him a lesson!
Elliot Everett provocatively curled his lips at him, refusing to give him the chance to curry favor with his parents!
"Damian Quinn, if you have no other business, you may leave now. Oh, and don’t forget to take your things with you as well!"
"I’ve already given the items to Uncle and Aunt, it would be inappropriate to take them back," Damian Quinn slightly lowered his eyes, but continued speaking gently, "Elliot doesn’t seem to welcome me as a guest, so Uncle, Aunt, I’ll take my leave for now and visit you another day."
Hearing this, Jocelyn couldn’t help but frown and reprimand Elliot, "What’s the matter with you, young man? When someone comes as a guest, how can you treat them with such a rude attitude?"
That damn manipulator!
Elliot Everett was grinding his teeth nearly to breaking point. Damian Quinn, that old beast, not only pretended to be charming in front of Serena but now was putting on the act in front of their parents too!
