Chapter 51 Housewarming
After Darcy and Kaze went to Quintessential Group Headquarters in the morning, Agnes went out as well.
As mentioned the other day, she wanted to hold a housewarming. party and invite her old friends to dinner.
She went out to find a good venue to host her friends.
Cloud Nine was certainly off the list, so she went for the second option, Lily Garden Hotel, which was one of the better hotels in the
city.
The fee to host a party in Lily Garden was $5,000 per table.
She was planning on having at least 20 tables for the party, so the price would rake up to $100,000, excluding food and drinks.
Since her friends and neighbors were all middle-aged people, she planned to invite some performers or live bands as entertainment.
After a rough calculation, she would need at least $200,000 to cover
all the costs.
Agnes did not want to spend that much money, so she wanted to look for a more affordable option.
Then, she bumped into her former colleague from the hospital where she used to work, Hellen Broad.
Hellen’s son-in-law was wealthy and capable, so they were planning a birthday party for her and coincidentally also looking for a suitable.

Agnes had been moody since she came home.
Darcy’s news managed to force a smile on her face.
“Sigh. Let’s just eat. She’ll be better after a while. I’ve gotten us for many years now.”
Hector felt terrible as well but he was still in a wheelchair and could
not do anything to help.
Darcy lost her appetite. She put her spoon down and went to her
mother’s room.
“What are you two doing here? Don’t disturb my nap.”
Agnes was sulking in bed as Darcy and Kaze came in. She wore a grumpy look and asked them to leave.
“Mom, why are you mad? Your daughter and son-in-law are a
lot
better than your former colleague’s daughter and son-in-law. I became the COO of Quintessential Group and Kaze gave us a new,
house and bought expensive furniture.”
Darcy smiled and hugged her mother.
Agnes was amused. She cheekily pinched her daughter’s face.
Darcy then put a bank card into Agnes’ hand and said, “Mom, I’ve saved up some money since my university days, there’s around two hundred thousand here. You can use them to organize your party at Lily Garden Hotel.”
“Lonly wanted bragging rights by hosting a housewarming party, I ccan’t spend the money you’ve saved up for so long. We’ll just hold it aat a smaller restaurant. An expensive dinner or two is still affordable.”
Agnes felt bad and returned the bank card to Darcy.

He could just bluff to make Darcy and Agnes happy before he makes the necessary call.
“It’s real. I’ll call her right away.”
He stepped outside to make a call. He informed Snow about his desire to organize a housewarming party at the main banquet hall of Lily Garden Hotel, with each table costing $20,000.
Then, he came back into the room.
“My friend has agreed.”
All sorted with just one call?
