My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 355

"Is this the Royal Emerald Necklace of Lady Victoria Harrington that caused a sensation in the jewelry auction world some time ago?"

Cedric: "Exactly."

Susanna was shocked. This necklace had caught the eyes of many wealthy collectors when it was announced for public auction. Being an avid collector of gemstones herself, she had been quite tempted, but before she could even secure a spot for the auction, she heard it had been bought.

So, the buyer was him.

This royal necklace was far more precious than all her collections combined.

"No, I can't accept this. It's too precious!"

Cedric: "Madame, please accept it. Mr. Lockwood bought it specifically for you at a high price."

Specifically? Was he preparing for it even then?

"And here's something for Mr. Nightshade." Jacob opened two elaborately wrapped exquisite gift boxes, "A bottle of Scotch from the rare reserves of Glenlivet and a Château Lafite Rothschild from 1787."

"Scotch from Glenlivet's rare reserves? That's listed as a world heritage, and the wine from 1787, aside from collectors, who else could even afford that?"

Christopher was so shocked he couldn't refuse. A lifetime lover of wine, he was now facing the ultimate temptation; he was completely gripped by it.

Cedric: "Mr. Ethan Nightshade, we heard you're deeply into scientific research and don't have many hobbies, so Nightshade has just successfully purchased a piece of land in the northern areas of Crestwood and built a state-of-the-art research facility on it. All equipment was flown in from Mystoria, the latest and most advanced. If there's any special material you need, feel free to list it."

What?

Ethan looked at him, astonished.
