"I actually quite like the jade. Still, the Venerable Raphael Morghen said that the jade could recognize its master and was incompatible with my aura. He wrote a number for me and said if the buyer drew the same number tonight, they would be the one destined for it. The family who gets the item would definitely prosper, live long and healthy, and have their wishes come true," Irene added.After saying all that, it made the madams feel very tempted. Having the Venerable Raphael Morghen foretell the prophesied person would not only be a blessing, but the person would also gain social status. And, it would also make the lucky madam who got it to be the talk of the town.Mrs. Wood chuckled, "Tell us the price and let everyone settle down."Irene let out a light chuckle. "Everyone will know when we exhibit it later.""Young child, you still want to build up suspense," Behind her, Cordelia's laughter floated over. Everyone made way for her and saw Cordelia walking steadily with Aurora fo
Dahlia chuckled lightly. "I used to feel that jade bracelets were inconvenient because they would crash into things. But, now that I am older, the more I feel that jade can help nurture people. However, these things require fate. Even if I like it, I wouldn't be able to bid for it."Mrs. Chapman then said, "The bracelet costs twenty million dollars. The ones here who like jade and can spend that amount of money on it are only a selected few. The probability is still quite high."One had to admit that Mrs. Chapman's skill in speaking was highly proficient. Just a single sentence enlightened the few madams present who were interested. The other madams were not stupid. The grading of the bracelet, regardless of the Venerable Raphael Morghen's blessing, would make the jade cost at least twenty million dollars on the market. Hence, the blessing from the Venerable Raphael Morghen made the jade's price at least thirty or forty million dollars. One could say that buying the jade bracelet wou
When she said that, she handed the bracelet she had scammed from Albert. The marbling of the bracelet was gorgeous, but since it was a million-dollar item, it looked inferior to the twenty million bracelet. However, Stella could not care too much. Regardless of anything, she could not allow Dahlia to bid for the bracelet."Mom, you should try it. If it's not suitable, I can pick another one for you," Stella said.Dahlia's expression could not be considered as happy. Stella gave her the bracelet right when she was about to bid for the bracelet, not a moment earlier or later. If she did not accept it, it would spread rumors about their terrible relationship as in-laws. If Dahlia took it with Cordelia present, as the mother-in-law, Dahlia had to gift something back as a sign of affection. Otherwise, Cordelia would think that she lacked etiquette as a daughter-in-law.Besides, whether she accepted it or not, Stella had gifted her the bracelet first. So, if she went up to bid for the bra
'Keegan had headaches because he always stayed up late!'I don't like to stay up late. So, after we got married, my sleep routine affected Keegan. Over time, he rarely stayed up late. That's why he doesn't have those sicknesses anymore.'Cordelia believed in the Venerable Raphael Morghen a lot. And, Stella could not just break Cordelia's belief. So, she suppressed what she wanted to say and said, "Grandma, I don't think I have anything to do with that. It was mainly because Keegan is in good health.""You deserve some credit for that too. Give it a try."Stella almost cracked. She could only give another excuse. "Grandma, I really can't do it. The bracelet is so expensive, and I'm clumsy. It isn't suitable for me."Cordelia looked like she suddenly understood something. "Stella, are you afraid that Keegan isn't willing to buy it for you if you manage to draw it? Don't worry. I'll buy it for you if you draw it. Even if you fail to draw it, I'll buy you whatever you like from here.
Stella was weak when she was in Keegan's arms. She softly said, "I'm fine, grandma. I just feel nauseous and dizzy. I feel like vomiting..." She then turned her head and covered her mouth as she retched.Cordelia was very worried. "Okay, okay. Stop talking. Quick, call a doctor immediately."Irene reassured Cordelia as she said, "We've already called a doctor. Don't worry." She then methodically ordered Marshall, "Marshall, bring them to the lounge. The doctor will go over there and examine her."Marshall gave a response. He then turned his head to Keegan and said, "Follow me."Cordelia was still worried, "I'll go with you."But, Irene softly said, "You shouldn't go with them. She's badly retching, and she can't talk. The lounge isn't big. So, the air circulation will be bad if there are many people in it. They can't take good care of things if you're too anxious."Cordelia calmed down. "You're right." She then turned her head to order Dahlia, "Call Baldwin and ask him to get an
Mrs. Chapman pursed her lips. "Mrs. Wood, remember this; the lesser you speak, the fewer you'd say the wrong things."She then turned around and walked to the crowd without waiting for Mrs. Wood to speak again.--Keegan put Stella down on the couch when they got into the lounge.Stella lay down weakly on the sofa. Her face was pale, and she did not look well.Marshall went to get a glass of warm water. When he came back, Keegan was sitting on the edge of the couch, wiping the sweat on Stella's forehead with a tissue.Marshall froze for a moment. He then walked toward them and handed Keegan the glass. "Keegan, feed her some water."Keegan took the glass and glanced at Stella. But, he took a sip of the water instead. He then pinched Stella's chin and wanted to kiss her on the lips.Stella then slapped him. She got up and stared at him as she said, "You're disgusting!"'Did he think he's filming a drama? He wanted to feed me the water with his lips?' Stella thought.'She acted
"My uncle hasn't gotten my grandfather's blessing. So, we aren't very close to him. We rarely have the chance to talk."'After such a big fuss, I just got to know that his uncle still hasn't officially become their family member. Looks like I can't find out anything from here,' Stella thought."How could you still have the mood to talk about all these?" Keegan was angry when he saw how gentle Stella was to Marshall. "The doctor will be here soon. You should think about how to cover up your lie."Stella said, "Why do I need to cover up my lie? I didn't say I was pregnant. Everyone just imagined it. I can just tell the doctor that I had an upset stomach.""Do you think that the doctor is stupid?""At worst, we can just bribe him. Money talks."Keegan's eyes twitched. 'What kind of moral values does she uphold?'Marshall smiled as he said, "You don't have to do that. The doctor is my friend. I'll talk to him about it later. He'll play ball with us."Stella smiled, "Mr. Moore, that
When they went in, Stella's face was pale while she lay down on the couch. She struggled to a sitting position when she heard the noises.Cordelia immediately said, "Don't move, my good girl. You should just lie down.""Grandma"Cordelia kindly said, "How are you? Are you feeling better?""I still feel nauseous. But, I feel a lot better than just now. I'm sorry that I made you worry.""It's okay as long as you're fine. I thought..." Cordelia paused for a moment before she sighed. "Forget it. Get well soon."While Cordelia was whispering to Stella, Dahlia suddenly received a message on her phone.She lowered her head and took a look at it. She frowned slightly, and her eyes looked abruptly gloomy.She then pursed her lips as she put her phone away. She stepped forward and said, "Mom, why don't we send Stella back? The exhibition is ending soon anyway. And, you've been standing for a long time. You should go home and rest."Cordelia nodded. She turned her head to Keegan and said
