Chapter 239 A Surprise for Mom
Elbert came from a small town, called Riverside Town, far away from Wavehaven.
Eleanor worked as an accountant at the largest company in town, a cement factory with 34 workers.
Despite the modest salary, Eleanor had a positive outlook on life and was quite happy.
Three years ago, Elbert graduated from college.
Like many young people, he stayed in Wavehaven to work.
He would come home during holidays.
Even when he injured his right eye that year, he brushed it off lightly.
He shared only the good news, withholding any mention of the bad ones.
A few months ago, Elbert made a fortune through futures trading and transferred $500,000 to Eleanor.
To Eleanor, this was a huge sum of money, and she was reluctant to spend it without a clear understanding of where and how to use it.
Recently, Elbert found himself in the center of various whirlwinds, afraid of causing trouble for Eleanor.
He even erased his family background through Robert Williams.
However, Elbert's father had been missing since he was a child, and Eleanor had raised him single-handedly. He missed Eleanor so much.
"Are you still there? The money you gave me, I've saved it all for you to use when you get married!"
At this moment, Elbert had a bit of a headache.
He didn't know how to explain his current wealth to his mother, who had lived in the town all her life.
Of course, the numbers weren't important.
What mattered was for Eleanor to accept it and enjoy it.
Elbert thought momentarily and smiled. "Mom, I'm coming home tomorrow."
"Huh?"
"Elbert, I have to work tomorrow!"
Although Eleanor was just an accountant, she was diligent and meticulous in her work.
When calculating accounts, to ensure the factory didn't suffer losses, she had to be precise to the last cent. Otherwise, she wouldn't rest.
She had been a model worker at the factory for eight years.
"It's okay, Mom. I'll wait for you to get off work."
"Alright, I will make you something tasty tomorrow!"
Just before hanging up the phone, Elbert clearly heard Eleanor proudly say, "Stella, Elbert is coming home tomorrow. Even if he can't find a wife, he's still the more handsome than your son!"
Elbert hung up the phone and smiled knowingly.
Suddenly, he smelled a tempting aroma.
He saw Trinity had already come over, eavesdropping for a long time. "Agent Elbert, Are you going home tommorrow? Take me with you!"
Elbert was speechless.
He heard Melissa next to him, looking displeased. "Sir, I'm going too."
It was a tone that brooked no refusal.
Elbert pressed his lips and looked at Dennis.
He couldn't leave the kid with Quentin.
Robert Williams said, "Elbert, I have good news for you. In 3 minutes and 20 seconds, this kid will have fixed the robot."
Elbert let out a long breath.
The women and the kid were all set.
The next morning, Elbert and Dennis stood next to the SS454 sports car.
They watched from a distance as two women walked over with bags.
Melissa was very considerate.
Her bag contained expensive supplements.
Trinity was carrying a bag of gold jewelry.
"I'm not very familiar with your Veridiania customs, but I heard that you should bring gold for the first visit?"
Trinity said with a somewhat strange expression.
"Gold is something the man should prepare."
Elbert helplessly rubbed his forehead. "Besides, we're just ordinary friends. I just want to prove to my mom that I can find a wife, so she can be at ease."
Melissa also rubbed her forehead.
If it were any other woman, she might have walked away on the spot!
Just as everyone was about to set off, they suddenly heard a howl from afar!
They saw Quentin kneeling on the ground, pulling his hair with both hands, shouting, "Oh, No! The gift I prepared for my wife is gone! What will I take to see her in heaven!"
Elbert walked up to Quentin and saw Quentin looking aggrieved, pointing to a hole in the ground. "Paul Three, I buried the hand you had given me here yesterday, and now it's gone!"
Elbert squinted his eyes.
He saw that the hole was turned inside out, with a circle of small marks around it.
Robert said, "Flatworm! The most regenerative species in the world! It has a large number of undifferentiated cells in its body that can divide, migrate, and differentiate in a short time, reconstructing the lost parts and restoring them to their original form! Scientific experiments have shown that a 2-centimeter Flatworm cut into 160 pieces can each regenerate into an independent individual! The black and white Joker's system is similar to that of a Flatworm! I guess that arm is now hiding and starting to regenerate!"
Dennis was also calm. "Violent Bear, I told you before, he's a Flatworm."
Elbert nodded helplessly and said with a dry laugh, "Quentin, congratulations, you have a chance to take revenge with your own hands."
"Paul Three, what are you talking about? The gift for my wife is gone!"
Elbert patted Quentin on the shoulder. "Don't worry, it will come back."
Then he ran away.
Although it was a two-door sports car, thanks to the large size of the European muscle car, the back seat was also very spacious.
Elbert drove all the way to Riverside Town, but he first went to The Quartz Cement Works Ltd.
He looked through the window at Eleanor working seriously.
Elbert went to the back office and took out $3 million in cash.
And under Trinity's resentful gaze, he placed a bag of gold on the table.
The factory manager, John Lee, was stunned.
Elbert knew Eleanor wouldn't want to leave Riverside Town.
And she couldn't stand having nothing to do.
So he bought The Quartz Cement Works Ltd!
Eleanor could be comfortable and do as she pleased!
John was about to change the business license on the spot, but Elbert stopped him.
Eleanor needed to accept it slowly!
Outside the factory, Elbert took a refreshing breath.
People here preferred cash, but he didn't bring enough.
Fortunately, Trinity brought a bag of gold.
Trinity's face was livid. "Elbert, that was a gift for Auntie!"
"What's the difference?"
Elbert's straightforward nature reappeared. "This factory should be the surprise Mom likes the most!"
