"There's a watch inside. My father will like it. You can give it to him later."
After saying that, Lisa walked into the hotel.
Wayne stood in place and thought for a while, then finally took out the red box that Kesha had given him.
Kesha Collins was a successful career woman with a net worth of tens of billions, and he had saved her son, Bob, this time.
The gift she gave him would definitely be very valuable, or else Kesha would not be able to take it out.
Therefore, it was obviously a good choice to give this to his father-in-law, Albert Jones.
Soon, the two entered the banquet hall.
At this time, the hall was full of guests in suits and gowns, their expressions calm and composed, and their every movement had a noble air.
It could be seen that these people were rich and noble existences.
The atmosphere at the scene was very lively. Wayne and Lisa had just entered the banquet hall when a young man in a black suit with a very strong figure walked towards them.
Beside him was a girl who looked a little like Lisa, but was much worse in terms of figure and appearance.
The girl was Vanessa Jones, Lisa's sister. The man was her husband, John Simmons.
The moment Vanessa saw Wayne, she rolled her eyes and said in disdain, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Smith? You're really early. If I didn't know better, I would've thought that you were the main character of today's party!"
Wayne was about to explain that something had happened on the way, so he was late, but Vanessa had already looked away in disgust. "I don't want to hear your excuses. You always have a lot of garbage excuses."
Wayne felt a little helpless, but he did not say anything.
Vanessa had been looking down on him ever since he married Lisa.
In Vanessa's opinion, her sister could have been worthy of someone better, and Wayne was out of her league.
However, Wayne and Lisa were already married, and Vanessa couldn't change that. So, she would mock Wayne whenever she had the chance.
John walked up to Wayne and smiled disdainfully.
"I thought you were too embarrassed to attend today's party!"
"But... Since you're here, where's your gift? It's our father-in-law's birthday today. Don't tell me you haven't prepared a birthday present for him. If that's the case, then you'd better get out of here as soon as possible, you piece of trash. Don't make a fool of yourself!"
As he spoke, John pointed at the door of the banquet hall, his expression full of disdain.
John actually didn't have any enmity with Wayne.
The reason why he targeted Wayne was actually because he was jealous of him!
Although Vanessa was also very beautiful, she would instantly lose her luster in front of Lisa.
Lisa was too beautiful!
She was so beautiful that John felt that Wayne was not worthy of her.
That was why he had seized the opportunity to target Wayne, hoping that Wayne would leave Lisa's side as soon as possible!
Wayne frowned when he heard John's words. "It's my father-in-law's birthday today. Of course, I didn't forget to bring a gift."
When John heard this, he immediately looked at the red box in Wayne's hand. "This is your gift?"
Before Wayne could say anything, John had already stepped forward and snatched the red box from Wayne's hand.
"I'd like to see what kind of gift you can give to our father-in-law!"
As he spoke, John opened the red box.
The red box was not locked, and John opened it easily. There was an ordinary-looking wooden bracelet inside.
John's expression suddenly became exaggerated. He stared at the bracelet in disbelief and said in a mocking tone, "Is this the gift you prepared? You dare to give a worn-out wooden bracelet to our father-in-law? If you don't have money, you can come and borrow from me. If I'm in a good mood, I might lend you some. A broken bracelet... Wayne, you've really surprised me."
John spoke loudly on purpose, causing the other people at the party to look over.
When they saw that Wayne's gift was a worn-out wooden bracelet, the guests started to discuss among themselves.
"Poor old Albert. He has such an awful son-in-law."
"Yeah, no matter what, they're still part of the Jones family. His son-in-law's gift is so trashy. Isn't this a slap in the face for old Albert?"
"It's a good thing old Albert isn't here yet. Otherwise, he might have had a heart attack because of his son-in-law."
Many of the people attending the party were relatives and friends of the Jones family.
They had heard of Wayne before and knew that he was a useless person.
However, they did not expect Wayne to be so useless that he would give his father-in-law such a trashy gift.
Lisa was furious when she saw that Wayne did not take the gift she had given him and even changed it to this bracelet. She could not help but glare at Wayne.
What a useless fellow!
