Chapter 160 One Million at Least
Chapter 160 One Million at Least
Inside the round glass room at the back of the City of Rose
Outside the room, there were countless colorful roses swaying in the wind.
The roses were not only beautiful but also represented the deep love of Daniel to Janet...and they had
been specifically chosen for this purpose.
The City of Rose had already gained mythic status for being the love-oriented city of legends past in C
country.
And Janet is like the goddess of the legend, to be envied by all the women of the land.
Angela who was wearing a light purple lady's dress looked at the blooming roses, and she told the
woman beside her, "Jane, look how romantic Daniel is. He's so much in love with you by decorating the
City of Rose this way!"
Janet responded with a sweet smile on her face, and she said, "Angela, come on. I heard that Mr. Gu
had just given a rare South Sea pearl to you as a gift. And according to your brother Daniel, the pearl
was worth over one billion in cash!"
What? Over one billion? Angela knew that the pearl was very precious and she bet that it must cost at
least tens of millions, but it never occurred to her that it was worth over one billion...
"Over one billion? Are you kidding me? Arvin was just a doctor. How could he have so much money?"
Angela wondered, pertinently.
Janet had doubted it before, so she specifically referred to Daniel, who told her that, "Arvin could earn
one million at least by doing one surgery. He's a dirty cutthroat." Of course, that was the price for
saving the lives of the super-rich.
"Arvin is truly a doctor worthy of his name. He felt no obligation to charge the exceptionally poor for
surgery, so when they came seeking medical care, he did everything for them for free."
"In addition to the income from surgeries, he also has some invention patents, some of which are really
amazing with the selling price over hundreds of millions at least!"
"Besides, he also participates in various forums, lectures and programs, which provides him with a
considerable amount of income as well."
"Anyway, he's also one of the owners of Yao Hospital, taking the shares of his grandfather, Aron and
Derrick. Let's say, the one-year share dividend has been enough for him to buy a luxury car."
...
That's why over one billion was just a drop in the bucket for Arvin!
After explaining every item of Arvin's income to Angela, Janet looked at Angela with a confused look,
and she asked, "Didn't you know that, Angela?"
"Uhh..." Angela was speechless.
She knew nothing about Arvin's finances; she was utterly ignorant of her boyfriend's wealth because of
her indignant naivety.
Nicole who had just returned back from the WC had traipsed over now. She said, "Angela, hey, what
are you looking at?"
Janet smiled and answered, "Angela is just having a senior moment; she's been going out with Arvin
for however long now and she has just come to understand how rich he actually is, hahaha."
Angela really had no idea and felt ashamed. She had never wanted to ask Arvin about this on the down
low.
She just wished everything in their relationship to be kept low-key, and for her, as a woman, to never
consort with such ideas that she could understand the finances of her boyfriend. To think so was
foolish. She knew he was a rich man, but she just had no scale upon which to measure his
wealthiness. He was so rich. Although her family was also wealthy, she didn't make much money,
especially compared with Arvin. She was more like a... beggar leeching off of him.
"Angela, we all know that Arvin is rich. You see, he has cooperated with your brother in many projects,
and the profit from any one of these projects could fetch tens of millions at least." Of course, Nicole
knew it clear because Sven had told her before.
"Uhh..." Even her sister-in-law knew about that...
"Emm, I heard that he's focusing on some formula targeting cancer lately, and the whole medical circle
is waiting for him to bring a surprise to everyone! If he does succeed, the patent could sell at least one
billion."
"Uhh..." Angela was so astonished that she had completely lost her words like a catatonic mental
patient.
Nicole and Janet glanced at each other and said with one voice, "Silly Angela."
Nicole wondered if they hadn't told Angela this information, would Angela go through the rest of her life
ignorant of Arvin's wealth. She would get married to him and still have no clue.
Angela sat beside them staring off into the middle-distance with a confused look pasted onto her face.
She rested her chin in her hand and seemed to be contemplating this weighty information while eating
fruit.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She should have found this out about Arvin long ago. Just think about his R and D department.
It would cost too much for a simple doctor.
In contrast, the house was not the most expensive part. What was really expensive was the chemical
materials and a variety of reagents and machines... They should, at the very least, cost hundreds of
millions. Their acquisition alone would set a tycoon back a billion.
At that exact moment, she remembered the two pearls she had received from Arvin. The Tahiti pearl
should at least be one million dollars. The pearl earrings she wore now were small but cost hundreds of
thousands dollars at least...
The South Sea pearl he gave her later cost over one billion, and many beads and other rare stuff he
had taken from Uncle Culler and had given to her.
Oh, my God! As she thought deeper, she realized that Arvin had already spent billions on her...
Angela was happy about this result. She knew that if a man was willing to spend money on a woman, it
meant that he loved her so much... Ha-ha-ha.
"Angela, what are you smirking for?" Nicole waved her hand in front of Angela, trying to draw her
attention.
Angela stopped smiling immediately and answered, "Nothing, Nicole. Would you like some more tea?"
"No. Mrs. President is coming. We should go and say hello!" Nicole dragged Angela's hand and led the
way through the garden to Mrs. President.
People coming to the party today were all ladies from the upper class of society. Although it was just a
tea party, every woman had tried to doll themselves up as beautifully as they could.
Some were wearing sexy slip dresses inside their mink coats, but the lady dresses that Angela, Nicole
and Janet wore looked more decent and shopworn.
Angela was fashionably dressed in her light purple gown, Nicole was in a dark green pants suit, while
Janet wore a pink long dress. They all looked so elegant that they attracted much attention in the party.
Many people had come by to say hello to them in the party. Mrs. President was in her forties, and she
sat in the wicker host chair at the end of a round table, looking elegant and graceful.
She was circled by many ladies who tried their best to flatter and make her happy.
"Mrs. President, you looks so energetic. Despite of your real age, we would assume that you are only
in your early twenties!"
"Yeah, look at the light purple blouse you wear. It matches so well with your fair skin!"
...
Hearing their compliments, Mrs. President merely responded with a generous but light smile. She
nodded her head in their company but didn't mince her words when she tried to respond in kind. She
was a woman who deserved praise showered upon her, not the other way around.
When she saw the three woman coming towards her together, she waved her hand gently and said in a
soft voice, "Come here, my ladies."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around to look at the three woman.
Nicole who was the eldest among the three took the lead to say, "Mrs. President, it's such a great
honor for us to attend your tea party."
"You are welcome, Mrs. Si! Come here and sit down with your sister-in-law, and is this Miss. Si?" Mrs.
President asked with a bountiful, avaricious smile on her face.
Since Mrs. President always lived in C County like Nicole and Janet, they had already become familiar
with each other. But it was her first time meeting Angela who lived far away in J City.
Angela nodded her head and smiled, "Hi, Mrs. President. My name is Angela."
"I see. C Country must be the birth place for beautiful ladies! Look at Nicole, Janet and Angela. You
look so amazing..." When hearing what Mrs. President said, others in the party echoed her sentiments
exactly to show their agreement with the president's wife.
Suddenly, the three women received numerous compliments as if they were three beautiful roses, or as
if they were the president's wife themselves...
