Dustin exchanged pleasantries with the guests for a while before returning to Patricia's side.
"You lied to me again." Patricia pouted and pinched him.
"Ow! How can you be so ruthless?" Dustin pulled a dramatic face and acted like he was in pain.
"Hmph!" Patricia huffed. "You said we'd just bring something from an antique shop as a gift. Where did that bead come from? Did you really spend 80 million on it?"
"80 million was necessary. Since they paid 150 million for it, I couldn't go too low, right?" Dustin said.
If anyone else had heard that, they would have been apoplectic.
Was he listening to himself?
It was sold for 150 million, and he got it for 80 million. Was he still not satisfied?
Moreover, the bead was actually worth more than 150 million. It was priced that way only because other elite families had done Stanley a massive favor.
"You're going to bankrupt yourself. Half of your grandfather's inheritance is nearly gone. What will you do next?" Patricia pouted.
Dustin had told her about the large inheritance that was left for him by the Fox family.
But she was not really angry with him for spending money this time.
The bead was for Terry.
If the rumors were true, and it held the miraculous effects that people claimed, it would be worth every penny.
"You said my great-grandfather would wake up within an hour. Why hasn't there been any sign?" she asked nervously as she looked at the still-motionless Terry.
He was practically no different from a vegetable.
"Maybe his body is too weak, and his blood circulation is blocked," Dustin said after a moment of thought.
"Nothing serious, though. I just need to give him a light tap."
If he acted recklessly, the Yeager family would not let him near Terry.
The two whispered for a moment before Patricia approached Zack.
"Grandfather, may I speak to my great-grandfather for a moment?" she pleaded.
Zack glanced at her and then at the curious onlookers.
Patricia was family, and it was only natural for her to want to talk to her great- grandfather.
