Chapter 70 The Man in a Golden Mask Jason carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead, marveling at the emotional roller coaster he had just experienced. He now understood that George cherished Milly deeply. He couldn't stand to see her giving gifts to someone else besides him.
George was pleased with Jason. "See, even Mr. Fitzgerald agrees. How could I refuse him?” George smiled while saying that.
Milly rolled her eyes and said, "The pen costs only 120 dollars, which is obviously cheaper than yours." She had seen many luxury items and could instantly tell that the pen George had tossed into the box was incredibly expensive, enough for a down payment for a modest apartment.
However, George was unfazed as he said nonchalantly, "I prefer using a pen that is exactly 120 dollars." Milly was speechless at George's stubbornness.
It was funny that he chose a cheap pen and threw away an expensive one.
Jason sighed in relief when Milly and George left. Suddenly, he thought of something and pulled Danny, who hadn't gone far, aside to ask quietly. "Mr. Jarvis, about the contract between the Fitzgeralds and the Tates" He felt uneasy. Even though the contract had been signed before all this happened, if the Tates wanted to back out, the Fitzgeralds had no choice but to comply.
George hadn't given a definite answer before he left, and Jason didn't dare to probe him about it.
Danny maintained his professional smile and said to Jason, "Don't worry. Since Mr. Tate didn't say the contract was void, there won't be any issues." Jason was relieved when he heard that.
"Phew! Great!" He was lucky that he had reacted quickly just now. If he had been any slower in dealing with Ken, George would have taken action against the Fitzgeralds.

Jason's legs were still trembling when he collapsed onto the sofa.
At that moment, his eye caught sight of the small box on the table.
Opening it, he saw the gold fountain pen lying quietly inside. Even though he had seen it when George was signing the contract, its gleaming exterior was almost blinding when he looked at it up close, Wait... it looks familiar...
George suddenly recalled seeing the pen at a major auction in Nlirone, where a mysterious buyer wearing a golden mask had bought it for a high price. The gold had left a deep impression on him.
He wondered if the man with the golden mask had bought it for George.
Chapter 70 The Man in a Golden Mask It could be possible.
In the car.
Milly sat in the back seat, hugging her backpack and staring out the window, ignoring George. George wasn't upset. He played with the silver fountain pen fondly. He was reluctant to put it away. "February 23rd," George suddenly said.
Milly calmly asked, "What?" "My birthday." Seeing that Milly kept quiet, George added, "I want a birthday present too." Milly remained silent again.
"It has to be at least 121 dollars,” he added. George insisted Milly give him a present more expensive than the one she gave to someone else.
Milly frowned, looking at the man in the suit in front of her, once again questioning her understanding of him.
People had always said George was someone decisive, noble, and terrifying in his ways and no one dared. offend him.
But, he was always chatty, childish, and stubborn in front of Milly. She wondered if the one in front of her was a clone.
Milly said expressionlessly, "Your birthday is over. Why should I give you a gift?" "Which university do you want to go to?" Milly was taken aback by the change of topic. "Huh?" Once she caught up, she answered, “Crestfallen University." George was not surprised by her answer. He continued to play with the pen. “Let's make a bet.” "A bet?" Milly squinted. What was he up to now? "If you win, I'll give you a helicopter. If you lose, you'll givesomething priced at 121 dollars. How about that?" Milly kept quiet.
With her current grades, getting into Crestfallen University was a sure thing. George was obviously going to lose the bet. She wondered what was he after.
Or did he, like his brother, have a problem with his brain? H it caemed like dubidinu could he hereditari Chapter 70 The Man in a Golden Mask George saw her hesitation and he smirked. "What's wrong? Are you afraid? Or are you not confident in your grades?" Milly could tell that he was trying to provoke her, but she still smiled sweetly and agreed, "Sure." Milly wasn't worried at all. With her grandfather around, George wouldn't dare to use force on her, not matter how powerful he was.
Besides, a free helicopter was not something to pass up! Her smile was so bright that it dazzled George's heart.
He could feel his heart pounding nonstop.
He gulped as he played with the pen slowly. His mind was filled with one thought, her smile was worth it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe would buy her a fleet of helicopters. She could ride a different one every day.
Milly had no idea about what he was thinking. When they arrived at the Burnetts Mansion, she quickly m thanked him and ran off before he could respond. Her hair was flying as the wind brushed against her face.
George couldn't help but laugh.
He just had to wait a little longer until the college entrance exam.
Danny, sitting in the front passenger seat, was surprised to see George's smile in the rearview mirror.
It had been so long since George had smiled like this.
George's parents would be thrilled to see him smile.
Milly wasn't avoiding George completely. She'rushed back to do her homework.
It seemed that teachers everywhere always gave out a bunch of om questions for practice before exams. She needed to complete twenty sets of tests over the weekend.
Sometimes she wondered if teachers were competing over the quality of their teaching or the amount of homework they assigned to their students. 20%
