345 Selling Wayne's Necklace

"anna, | was hoping you could find Mr. York at the Charleston Antique Shop in Birmingham. Then I'd like you to present him with one of the bracelets. He'll buy it as soon as he sees it, believe me.” Jennie appeared to be sure of it.

“Is he a friend of yours?" Anna asked.

Jennie shook her head and said, "No. He's James* friend, and I've only met him a few times. | wore this bracelet at my wedding. He spotted them during the wedding and told me | could sell them to him later if | didn't want them."

Jennie was heartbroken simply thinking about it as she never expected to sell them one day.

Anna didn't know how to say no, so she took the bracelets. After that, she rushed back to Birmingham that night because it was an emergency. Anna couldn't wait any longer because three days had already passed.

She arrived in Birmingham shortly after sunrise. And she spent a long time searching the house before discovering a safe deposit box in the garage. Taking a deep breath, Anna opened it

The safe's door opened, allowing sunlight to illuminate everything inside. There was a necklace there, as well as some cash and evidence of ownership. Anna took out the necklace and held it for a long time in her hand. In the sunlight, the lovely green gem gleamed beside a few diamonds.

Anna considered the necklace to be more valuable than the bracelet

Jennie had given her. The necklace had been the sole clue that had led her ‘345 Selling Wayne's Necklace s

to Wayne, and she had always treated it as a hot potato, refusing to take it out.

Anna had hoped to tell Wayne the truth before their wedding, but she had to take it away first.

Charleston Antiques was among a row of Victorian buildings in the suburbs. Before being transformed into an antique auction house, it was the largest pawn shop in the entire city.

After Anna entered the shop, the receptionist told her that he had photographed the bracelets for Mr. York and that he would be there in a few minutes.

Anna sat in the lobby and sipped her coffee. After ten minutes or so, a man came out. His hair was gray, and he appeared to be in his fifties. He was dressed like a gentleman from an old movie from the 1930s.

He sat across from Anna and then asked his helper for a coffee. He asked, "Hello there, Miss Gabriel. Where did you get these beautiful bracelets?"

Anna replied, "My fiance's mother gave them to me."

Mr. York froze, looked at Anna in shock and asked, "You're Wayne's fiancee?"

Anna was astounded to see Mr. York startled in this way. The entire city was aware that she was marrying Wayne. Because Anna was frequently in the news a few years ago, many people recognized her, even if they were not businessmen.
