Chapter 201
“Your husband? You’re so affectionate with him, anyone who didn’t know better would think you guys were close” Abigail said sarcastically. “You’ve been married for so long and he’s just now giving you a gift? I’m dying to see what he got you I hope it’s not some cheap crap from the market, that would be hilarious”
‘Do you really need to be so sarcastic? Just wait and see what the gift is Cornelia opened the gift box in front of Abigail
Inside the gift box was an even more delicate box, and inside that, there was a beautiful necklace
The necklace had a star–shaped pendant, which appeared to be made of diamond
Cornelia picked it up and felt it. “Abby, do you think this is glass or diamond?”
Abigail examined it carefully. The craftsmanship is very nice, but there’s no brand mark. It’s not from a well known brand, so it probably didn’t cost much.”
Even though it wasnt a designer plece, Cornelia was still very pleased, “Whether or not it’s a designer piece, it’s the thought from Jeremy Artis that counts.”
Abigail held the necklace up to the light, and the diamonds refracted a beautiful sparkle. It was as if they had stepped into a dream world.
They were both stunned, especially Abigail, “Oh my god, this necklace is absolutely gorgeous. I take back what I said earlier. Even without a brand, just based on the material and craftsmanship. Id say this necklace is at least worth a hundred grand. If it was a designer piece, it could be worth even more. Jeremy must really care about you to give you such an extravagant gift”
“A hundred grand? Really?” Cornelia immediately put the necklace back in its box, she couldn’t bring herself to accept something so expensive.
She messaged Jeremy. “I got the necklace, is it really that expensive?”
For many people, the necklace was indeed very pricey. But for Marcus Hartley, it was just a drop in the bucket.
He replied from Cornelia’s perspective. “Yes”
Cornelia, “Even a hundred grand?”
A hundred grand?
The smallest diamond on the necklace was worth more than that.
Marcus chuckled at the number on the screen, ‘A hundred grand”
If he told her that he bought the necklace on a whim before he came back, at a cost of thirty million dollars, would she think he was lying?
Marcus replied with a single word, “Yes”
Seeing Jeremy’s reply, Cornelia felt a pang of guilt, “Spending a hundred grand on a necklace, isn’t that a bit much? We’re not rich. Money should be spent where it’s needed, not wasted on things that aren’t necessary”
Jeremy, Well, I guess I could be considered rich”
