Chapter 197
The Jarvis family is the richest family in C City, with a very high prestige.
But the Jarvis family has been dwindling in size in recent generations. The previous head of the family, Vince Jarvis, only had one son, Rufus Jarvis. Unfortunately, Rufus and his wife both died in a car accident when Rufus was 40, leaving behind a child who was not even 10 years old at the time.
For over a decade, Vince and his grandson duo held up the Jarvis family. It’s a pity that his grandson didn’t like doing business and wandered abroad all the time, leaving Old Mr. Jarvis alone to support the huge family business
Over the years, Vince started to downsize the family business and led a quiet and enjoyable life.
It is said that Old Mr. Jarvis has a quirky personality if he likes something, even if it’s just an ordinary spoon, he would spend a fortune on it, and then put it on display at home to admire every day. But if he doesn’t like something, even if it’s worth hundreds of thousands, he would give it away to his servants.
So, Estelle said that Millard would definitely not be able to buy the earrings from Vince
“Getting something from the Jarvis family might not be that easy.” said Jonathan calmly, looking at Estelle. “Why do you want to go yourself?”
Estelle blinked and slowly said, “I thought, maybe if I went there and talked to Old Mr. Jarvis, he would be more willing to sell me the earrings since I’m a young girl.” Jonathan laughed, “You know how to talk nicely? Why haven’t you ever said something nice to me?”
Estelle glanced quickly at Millard, her cheeks slightly flushed. She frowned softly and said. “We are talking about serious matters. Please stay focused Jonathan smiled and told Millard, “Find out where
Old Mr. Jarvis lives now and call him to see if he’s available to meet. Also, I heard he likes tea, so prepare some good tea.”
Estelle wanted to suggest that wine might be more useful than tea, but hesitated and didn’t say anything, letting Millard go and prepare tea leaves.
Old Mr. Jarvis lives in the old mansion of the Jarvis family in the southwest of C City, which has a very nice view.
Looking at the scenery around, Jonathan said indifferently, “I didn’t know C City had such places. Old Mr. Jarvis sure knows how to enjoy life.” Estelle raised her eyebrows, and couldn’t agree more!
As the car stopped, Millard received a phone call. After hanging up, he told Jonathan, “Baldrick left here half an hour ago without buying the earrings.” Jonathan nodded slightly, “Let’s knock on the door!”
Millard knocked on the door, and soon a man dressed in a dark gray robe opened the door. His first gaze was at Estelle, and a kind smile appeared in his somewhat cloudy eyes. After a pause, he asked Jonathan, ‘Are you Mr. Lamont? The old master is waiting for you in the front hall, please follow me.”
The old man was the butler of the mansion. He had gray hair, a spinted demeanor, and a calm demeanor, not giving off the vibe of a subordinate at all. Jonathan spoke with grace, “Thank you for having us!”
“No need for formalities, please come in!” The old man smiled, looked at Estelle again, and then turned around to lead them into the yard.
