Chapter 261: Compensation of 40 Million!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Pay you back for the vase?”
When Qahira heard this, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she turned to look at Shane’s seat.
Qahira was completely disappointed in Shane because she knew that he had been lying to them from the beginning. Shane didn’t know Titus Jenkins. Otherwise, Titus wouldn’t have treated him like this.
Therefore, Qahira already had plans to break up with Shane.
Since she had the intention to break up with Shane, and the person who broke the vase was her uncle, Sean Phillips, Qahira naturally couldn’t let Shane pay for it.
“Alright, how much do you want me to pay? I’ll pay up!”
Qahira took a deep breath and said calmly to Titus.
“Young lady, I advise you to call your family and get your parents to come over and deal with this matter!” Titus said to Qahira with a serious expression.
“How much can a broken vase like this be worth? 1 lurry up and tell me. I’m not in the mood to waste my time with you!”
Qahira said as she took out her phone. In her opinion, the vases in ordinary restaurants were all street goods. At most, they would cost a few thousand dollars.
“Hehe, a broken vase?”
Titus couldn’t help but sneer. He then took a step forward and said to Qahira, “Young lady, 1 bought this vase from Sotheby’s when I was traveling in France. It’s a millenia-old porcelain vase, and you call it a broken vase?”
Shane, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded when he heard Titus’s words. How could he have imagined that this pair of ordinary-looking vases were actually made of millenia-old porcelain?
“What do you mean by porcelain? Is this vase so valuable?”
Qahira didn’t know much about antiques, but she could sense something wrong from Titus’s tone. She asked in a trembling voice.
“It’s pretty valuable. The important thing about antiques is not their own value, but the historical value they have!”
Titus replied expressionlessly.
“Then… How much is this vase worth?”
Qahira was not in the mood to care about whether it was worth it or not. She was only concerned about how much money she had to pay!
“Since you didn’t break my vase on purpose, I won’t ask for more. 1 bought this pair of porcelain vases at Sotheby’s for 8o million. Now that you broke one of them, you can compensate me with 40 million!”
Titus knew that Qahira and the others were related to Connor, so he didn’t ask too much. Instead, he asked them to pay the original price.

When the customers in the restaurant heard the figure of 40 million, they were all dumbfounded.
Although they all knew that this vase might be expensive, they never thought that such a small vase would cost 40 million dollars.
“Mr… Mr. Jenkins, are you kidding me? This vase actually costs… 40 million?
Qahira stuttered with her big, seductive eyes.
At this moment, she was completely dumbfounded.
“Why would 1 joke with you? If you don’t believe me, you can take this vase to an antique expert to appraise it. Or I can find the receipt from the auction house and let you see how much this vase is worth!”
Titus replied coldly.
When Shane heard this, he hesitated.
He knew that Titus was a big shot in Porthampton, so he wouldn’t blackmail someone for a vase.
However, 40 million was too much for Shane, let alone Qahira. Even Sean might not be able to fork out that much money.
Moreover, Shane knew that there was no longer any possibility between him and Qahira. If he continued to stay here, it might bring him some unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, after hesitating for two seconds, Shane turned around and left when Titus wasn’t paying attention.
However, Shane had only taken two steps when he was stopped by the restaurant’s security.
“Sir, this matter hasn’t been settled yet, so you can’t leave!”
The security guard said to Shane with a serious face.
Shane’s expression was unusually helpless when he heard the security guard’s words.
Originally, he took the initiative to stay because he wanted to get close to Titus and ask him why was looking out for him today.
However, Titus didn’t know him. Whatever happened in the private room had nothing to do with Shane.
If that was the case, Shane would just accept it. After all, the meal only cost him less than 200,000 dollars. However, he did not expect that he would get himself into trouble with 40 million dollars because of Sean.
At this moment, Shane’s intestines were about to turn green with regret. He regretted putting on an act in the private room earlier.
“Young lady, how do you plan to compensate me for the vase?”
Titus asked Qahira expressionlessly.
“Mr… Mr. Jenkins, I didn’t actually break this vase. This… This has nothing to do with me!” Qahira’s mouth was slightly trembling as she spoke.
“If you don’t want to pay up, that’s fine. As long as you call the person who broke the vase over, I’ll make him pay. Otherwise, the two of you won’t be able to leave today!”
Titus said.
“Alright… Alright, I’ll make the call now!”
Qahira hurriedly nodded, then took out her phone with trembling hands.
If the vase was only worth ten or twenty thousand dollars, Qahira could still afford it. After all, her family background was not bad, and Sean would definitely give her the money.
However, this was not a matter of ten or twenty thousand dollars. It was a whole 40 million dollars!
Even if she sold herself, she wouldn’t be able to fetch so much money!
Therefore, Qahira could only choose to call Sandra Phillips, Sean, and the others.
On the other side.
Connor, Freya and Sean had already returned to the hotel that the Phillips Family had prepared in advance.
At this moment, Sandra was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Sean and Laura Crawford, while Freya and Connor were in another room.
“Sean, don’t blame me for being nosy. What kind of boyfriend did you find for Freya? Connor doesn’t have any money or background. Moreover, he looks stupid. Let’s not compare him to Shane, I don’t even think he can compare to any other ordinary people!”
Sandra was able to hold her head up high today. She naturally had to seize this opportunity to show off.
“Sandra, 1 understand what you mean, but it wasn’t my intention to let Freya marry Connor. It’s out of my hands now!” Sean replied helplessly.
“Yeah, we want to find Freya a more reliable boyfriend. If Connor is half as good as Shane, Sean and I will be more than happy!” Laura added.
“How can young people nowadays compare to Shane? He is good-looking and capable. Most importantly, he treats Qahira very well!” Sandra said with a smile.
“Sandra, you can surely enjoy a good life in the future, unlike us who have to worry about someone like Connor!” Laura said enviously.
“In my opinion, you should have Freya break up with Connor as soon as possible. What’s there to miss about a person like Connor?” Sandra replied with a pout.
Sean and Laura looked at each other, feeling very upset..
