00:00Lily was still upset that Jason had stolen the credit for her success with Williams Media,
00:06and he did it right in front of the whole family at the celebration banquet.
00:10Jason continued to chip away at Lily's accomplishment, telling Grandma Jones,
00:15For the sake of the family, no matter how much I suffer, I'm willing to carry on the struggle.
00:21I heard that Williams Media signed a new client named Brittany Davis just a few days ago.
00:26I want to fight for it. Tomorrow, I'll help us negotiate the packaging contract for this new client.
00:32What do you think?"
00:34Since the Jones family had already established a basic partnership with Williams Media,
00:39the packaging deal for a new client would definitely be very easy to negotiate.
00:44Jason knew that now he had a real opportunity.
00:48As long as he got Brittany's packaging deal,
00:50his grandmother would definitely give him all the credit for the family's success.
00:54Grandma Jones was very satisfied to see him working so hard.
00:58JJ, you are indeed the most responsible one here.
01:02You're an asset to our family and to our company.
01:05I'll leave it all up to you. You're going to do a great job.
01:10After hearing Grandma Jones' words, Lily felt very uneasy.
01:14She and Dorothy looked at each other, and her mother could only lightly pat her hand under the table.
01:20Why the heck did Grandma Jones like Jason so much?
01:24Now that she had made up her mind to leave this matter up to him, what else could they do?
01:29Tonight's banquet originally belonged to Lily, but not anymore.
01:33Jason had snatched Lily's credit with a few words, and now he was the star of the show.
01:38Although Lily felt torn up inside, she didn't show it.
01:41After all, she knew she wasn't Grandma Jones' favorite in the family.
01:46Jason grabbed the opportunity to look generous.
01:49Today it's my treat. Even drink all that you want. I'm paying.
01:53He waved his wallet at the head waiter.
01:56Jason sat down and waved at the waiter again.
01:59Waiter, go and get a bottle of your best wine for every table.
02:03I want the best and most expensive wine you have. Hurry up!
02:07The waiter was about to show him the wine list, but when he heard him say that,
02:11he nodded and went to get the wine from the cellar.
02:14After all the wine was served, Jason raised his glass and stood up happily.
02:18Let's have a toast. Let's celebrate the signing of our new client contract with Williams Media tomorrow.
02:24Eat up. Drink up. Let's party all night.
02:29Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to toast Jason.
02:33After all, his status in the family had just gone up a notch or two.
02:37When the banquet was coming to an end, Jason was unable to stand upright.
02:41His eyes were blurry as he called for the waiter to come over.
02:45He then pulled the card from his wallet and said,
02:48Use my card to pay the bill.
02:51That's a Luxe Bank Sapphire card.
02:54Someone recognized Jason's credit card and immediately cried out in surprise.
02:59Those who were close to him couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the ultra high-end card in his hand.
03:05The Luxe Bank card wasn't something that just anyone could get.
03:09The most basic card, the silver card, had a limit of $25,000.
03:14A gold card went up to $50,000.
03:17And the Sapphire card that Jason took out had a limit of $100,000.
03:22Jason's personal wealth was about $6 million.
03:26But that didn't reflect how much cash he had on hand.
03:29So it took Jason nearly three years to save up enough to get this exclusive card.
03:34He'd only had it for two days.
03:37Jason looked over at Phoebe, who was seated next to him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
03:42This was such a good opportunity to show off in front of Miss Anderson.
03:46Naturally, he couldn't resist.
03:49When Phoebe saw Jason's Luxe Bank Sapphire card, she couldn't help but look at him differently.
03:55Although she was a rising star in the Anderson family, she only had around $2 million in the bank.
04:01That's why she had the Luxe Bank gold card, which was one grade lower than Jason's.
04:07Although she had previously said that she could double the price to buy her own dream lover necklace,
04:12she was secretly going to ask her father to pay for it.
04:16Feeling Phoebe's gaze on him, Jason felt even more excited.
04:20He sat up straight.
04:22You can do whatever you want. I'll pay for everyone here tonight.
04:25However, that table isn't included.
04:28The table he pointed at was the one where Kevin was sitting.
04:31Because Kevin hadn't been fully accepted by the Jones family, very few people were willing to sit at the same table as him.
04:38The people who did choose to sit with him weren't as wealthy or popular as the rest of the guests.
04:43Jason simply didn't care if he offended them.
04:46He continued to push Kevin's buttons.
04:49Kevin, do you have any money? Don't tell me you can't even afford to pay and you still need to beg money from your wife.
04:56Jason stood up unsteadily, staggering to Kevin's side and patted him on the shoulder.
05:01Kevin smiled and didn't say anything.
05:04Jason pulled his hand away with a look of contempt in his eyes and turned to look at Phoebe.
05:09Miss Anderson, you like the dream lover, don't you?
05:13I have a lot of friends and connections. Don't worry, I will definitely help you buy it.
05:19Phoebe nodded her head slightly in response to the spectacle.
05:23There was still no smile on her stoic yet elegant face.
05:27Thank you for the kind offer, Mr. Jones, she replied.
05:32Jason was about to say something else, but at that moment, the waiter who had taken his Sapphire card to pay the bill walked quickly over to him.
05:40Mr. Jones, I'm very sorry, the limit on this card isn't high enough to pay for tonight's bill.
05:46Are you kidding me? This card has a $100,000 limit and you're telling me it's not enough for tonight's meal?
05:53Jason looked at the waiter in disbelief.
05:56He reached out to grab the man's collar, but he was stopped by the people around him at his table.
06:01After all, this was the Witzler Hotel.
06:04Jason was a little drunk, but most of the people were still very sober.
06:09This was not the time or place to cause trouble.
06:13The waiter took a step back and looked at Jason with an odd mix of horror and surprise in his eyes.
06:18I'm sorry, but I forgot to tell you. Mr. Jones, you've spent over $110,000 tonight.
06:24That sobered Jason up right away.
06:28$110,000? What were they eating? Gold?
06:33You're a thief. Get your manager here right now.
06:37Kevin watched the whole scene without saying a word and finally he couldn't help laughing.
06:43Jason was really a dope. He pretended to be an uber rich person all day.
06:48Then he made a mess of the whole evening.
06:51It started when he asked the waiter to serve him a bottle of the hotel's best wine for each table.
06:57Others may not have seen it coming, but Kevin knew right away it would be a problem.
07:01The hotel served them one of the top wines in the world, a Grand Cru from Burgundy in France.
07:07The retail price of this wine was as high as $5,000 per bottle.
07:12Not a wise decision on Jason's part.
07:15Seeing him reacting like this, the waiter was in no good mood to argue with him.
07:20He turned around and called the hotel manager over.
07:23When the hotel manager arrived at his table, Jason stepped up to him angrily and asked loudly,
07:29This is how you do business? You're nothing but a thief.
07:33I'm going to file a complaint with the State Liquor Control Commission. I have friends downtown.
07:39The hotel manager smiled and said calmly,
07:42Mr. Jones, you said that I should serve you our best wine. That's what I did.
07:48Because you needed 20 bottles for the entire room, we gave you our best price.
07:54You actually saved almost $18,000.
07:57Your complaint will be thrown out by the commission.
08:01You bastard! If this wine is so rare, how come you're able to sell more than 20 bottles at a time?
08:07Who are you trying to fool? You're making a big mistake.
08:11Jason reached out to grab the hotel manager's lapels.
08:15Just then, an extremely calm voice came from the entrance of the banquet hall.
08:20What seems to be the problem here?
08:24Everyone looked over and saw a man in an Armani suit walking towards Jason.
08:29Behind him was a group of burly-looking men in black suits.
08:33As soon as Grandma Jones saw the man in the Armani suit, she quickly stood up and walked up to him.
08:39Mr. Cook, I'm very sorry about this misunderstanding.
08:43My grandson sometimes drinks a little too much and makes bad decisions.
08:48I'm sure that we can find another way to settle this.
08:52After she said that, she offered her hand to the hotel owner as gesture of goodwill.
08:57When everyone saw how much respect Grandma Jones was showing toward the man,
09:01they realized Jason put them in a bad position.
09:04Mitchell Cook wasn't just the owner of the Whistler Hotel.
09:08He was also well-known as one of the most influential men in Chicago.
09:12Definitely a big shot you didn't want to mess with.
09:16When he saw Mr. Cook, Jason sobered up completely.
09:19But now he was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
09:22His hands trembling, he quickly let go of the hotel manager's suit.
09:26He even reached out to help smooth the wrinkles on his lapels.
09:30The hotel manager snorted.
09:33His boss had appeared and he felt even more confident.
09:36He said to Jason sarcastically,
09:39Your Jones family is pretty famous in Chicago.
09:42Since you asked for the best wine, how could you refuse to pay?
09:47Jason didn't have the time to wipe the beads of sweat that kept flowing down his face.
09:51He snapped his finger and said,
09:53I won't go back on my word. We'll pay for it.
09:56As he spoke, he gave a pleading look towards his grandmother.
10:00He couldn't possibly scrape together $400,000 this evening.
10:05He unconsciously took a step towards Grandma Jones
10:08like he was going to use her to shield him from Mitchell Cook.
10:11Grandma Jones sighed and forced a smile at Mr. Cook.
10:15It was our fault for what happened tonight.
10:18Mr. Cook, please don't hold it against us.
10:21And don't worry, we'll get you the money right away.
10:24After saying that, she turned to the Jones family members who were in the banquet hall.
10:28We can't let J.J. pay all the expenses tonight.
10:32Each of you should contribute $5,000.
10:35The rest of the money will be paid by J.J. and me.
10:39Everyone nodded in agreement.
10:41They had no choice, but they wanted to look like they were okay with it.
10:45However, two of them couldn't hide their concern
10:48and wore very embarrassed expressions on their faces.
10:51Lily and Dorothy.
10:53It would be pretty tough for them to come up with $5,000 for this meal.
10:57What was really unfair was that they'd barely touched the wine.
11:01The $4 million that Kevin gave Lily had already been used for her emergency expenses,
11:07so they didn't have any extra money left over.
11:10Jason, who had learned nothing from all of this, asked her,
11:13Lily, why are you looking so upset?
11:16Don't tell me you can't even come up with $5,000.
11:19Don't you want to pitch in?
11:21Lily saw that everyone was looking at her because of Jason's insulting remarks.
11:26She tried to control her breathing and calm down.
11:29We have $5,000.
11:32Kevin suddenly interrupted Lily.
11:34His back was facing Jason, Mr. Cook, and the others, so they hadn't noticed him yet.
11:39The moment Mitchell Cook heard Kevin's voice, his expression changed dramatically.
11:44May I ask who you are?
11:47Mr. Cook queried with a very slight quiver in his usually calm voice.
11:51The others probably didn't pick up on it, but Kevin could.
11:55He shook his head and grinned.
11:57Jason saw that Mr. Cook had suddenly taken an interest in Kevin.
12:01He thought that Kevin's actions had somehow offended the man.
12:05He tried to protect himself by addressing the boss.
12:08Mr. Cook, please don't be angry.
12:11This man isn't even a true member of our family.
12:14He married into it.
12:15If you don't like him, do whatever you want.
12:17Just don't take it out on the rest of us.
12:20Get lost, Mr. Cook glared at Jason as he gestured for him to get out of the way.
12:26Kevin stood up, turned around, and looked calmly at Mr. Cook.
12:30An expression of pure joy and excitement instantly appeared on the man's face.
12:35He hadn't seen Kevin in seven years,
12:38and he certainly hadn't expected to see him at the Whistler Hotel today.
12:43Long time no see, Kevin said as he greeted his old friend with a smile.
12:48His expression was relaxed and natural.
12:51He completely ignored the stunned members of the Jones family.
12:54Mr. Cook quickly walked over and gave Kevin a warm hug.
12:58He looked absolutely thrilled to see him.
13:01It's really you.
13:02I can't believe it.
13:04How are you doing, boss?
