“Of course!” the middle-aged woman said cheerfully as she clapped her hands. “My son is young, but he's wealthy. He's also going to become an official employee of Pollerton Translations soon!”
The crowd all laughed, making the atmosphere seem almost celebratory and joyful.
Michael and his family all looked mockingly at Donald. They watched him carefully, expecting him to throw a fit or storm out.
However, they were disappointed. Donald was expressionless and looked as if the situation had nothing to do with him at all.
Gideon spoke. “You can't take a child's words seriously. By the way, Raymond, our revenue this year has increased by more than 80 percent compared to previous years!”
That was an impressive feat.
“Oh, is it because of the construction and engineering projects?” Raymond asked, surprised.
Back then when they had offended Tyrone Campbell, they had faced his wrath and suffered all sorts of difficulties. They never expected Gideon to be so capable that he would achieve this feat in such a difficult situation.
Gideon said proudly, “Of course. Right now, I have over 30 construction teams, 1000 employees, and hundreds of people dependent on me. If there's any major construction project in Pollerton, our company will be the first to take it! And we can deliver!”
Raymond was a little flustered. He sighed. “That's not bad! It must not have been
e n easy!
Winston said cynically, “Of course, that's not bad. But if certain people hadn't made certain mistakes previously and offended significant people in the family, we would be doing even better now!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Ripping open old scars on such an occasion had murderous intent rising in Donald.
“Donald, how are you? What job are you working now?” Gideon asked with a condescending tone.
“Security,” Raymond answered simply.
After he spoke, the crowd instantly exploded into an uproar.
“Oh my goodness! No way. The Campbell family has produced a security guard!”
“The Campbell clan did a lot of damage to this branch of the Campbell family, but being a security guard?”
“Donald, you're quite something!”
The crowd broke out in discussion and mockery.
Michelle scoffed. “You're so young, but out of all the occupations you could have chosen, you chose to be a security guard? Look at Paul! He's now a tuner at Donter Pictures!”
“Yeah. Our Yerick managed to acquire Scarlet Swan Villa and start an e-commerce business with an annual income of a million!”
“Our Kristina is also doing well! Now she's a manager at Primordial Tower. She's even had a few meals with Zayne Yates!”
Donald didn't feel ashamed at all. In fact, he even listened to them talk with interest.
You all are amazing, but I don't envy you one bit.
Raymond was exasperated at how things were going. He had known that his birthday party would end up like that.
It was the same every year.
“All right. We're here to celebrate Raymond's birthday, aren't we? Then we should give him some gifts.” Gideon said, waving his hands.
At that, he took out 300 and stuffed them into Raymond's hand. “There's nothing I have to say. I know you're short on money now. Take this as a token of my sincerity.”
300 as a token of sincerity?
Not to say that three hundred was too little, but on such an occasion, it was an insult!
Back when Donald was calling everyone to borrow money, no one was willing to give him any. Now, Gideon had dished out 300 and was claiming it as a token of sincerity?
“Granduncle, this is also a token of my sincerity. Please accept it.” Winston walked forward and took out 250 from his pocket, placing it in Raymond's hands.
250? Now that's just insulting!
The rest of the crowd came up one by one, each giving 250.
“Granduncle, don't be angry! Altogether, it's quite a lot of money!” one of the young women said, smiling. Dressed in fashionable clothing, she was a manager at Primordial Tower.
