Mrs.Livingstone looked at Cherry with a big smile after she spoke.
Louis had resolved the trouble with Lisa’s gift just now, so she couldn’t attack Cherry with that.
But the next moment, a so-called grandaunt had arrived.
Mrs.Livingstone was waiting to launch into face-slapping mode after she took a look at the gift! She
stared hard at the gift, her gaze so scorching that it was as if it could set the box on fire.
At the side, both lan and Justin narrowed their eyes.
They glanced at Mrs.Livingstone, neither of them speaking.
Both knew very well that Nora was no ordinary woman, and that the people she knew in the past
were all very impressive.
However, everyone seemed to be at a consensus that Nora had lived in tough circumstances in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpast.
In fact, they had even spun a dramatic story in their heads about how a poor girl had survived after
her stepfather robbed her of the only financial assets that her mother had left behind.
Therefore, even though they all knew that Nora’s medical skills were fantastic, the moment they
thought of her past, they kept feeling pity and sympathy for her.
There were even families that said that it was a pity about Ms.Smith ; that if she had grown up in
New York, she would most certainly have become even more outstanding than Yvonne Smith, yet
she was just a doctor now…
Nothing else about her seemed that great.
Moreover, what people of social status like theirs were particular about were social connections and
their social circle.
If the friends one hung out with were impressive, then they would also be very impressive.
Nora was already a full-grown adult.
On top of that, she didn’t have any appropriate girlfriends among her peers in New York.
This made her social circle even smaller.
It was only then that everyone discovered that the tiny little box was actually a safe.
With a smile, John said, “The password is the one you always use, Ms.Cherry.”
Cherry stretched out her chubby little arm and pressed a few numbers.
Click! The tiny safe opened, revealing the blue gem inside.
At the sight, everyone around them went into a huge furor!
“The Heart of the Ocean?!”
Someone exclaimed abruptly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe suddenly looked at the gift box that lan had handed Cherry just a few moments ago and
exclaimed incredulously, “Two Hearts of the Ocean?!”
He sounded absolutely astounded.
How could he possibly not be, though? One Heart of the Ocean was already worth more than a
million dollars.
Unless a family was backed by a solid and robust foundation, who would be able to buy it? It was
not surprising that the Smiths would have one, but how did that grandaunt of hers get that kind of
money? For one to be able to afford a gemstone like that and even give it to their grandniece as a
gift, they would have to have hundreds of millions of dollars in their pocket! Everyone swallowed.
Mrs.Livingstone even blurted out, “Surely that isn’t a fake, right?”
But as soon as she said that, she felt that she must be mistaken—because a curious Cherry had
already put the two Hearts of the Ocean together.
