My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 1192

Chapter 1193

As Karolina noticed Eurydice speaking to Margaret, she retrieved the gift she had entrusted to the servant and hastily made her way over with Larry.

There, Eurydice introduced Karolina to Margaret.

“Old Mrs. Jennings, may you be blessed with longevity as enduring as the mountains and prosperity as boundless as the sea.” Karolina presented a box and continued, “I heard you have a fondness for prayer beads, so I specially brought you this as a gift.”

The box Karolina held was crafted from agarwood and emanated a subtle fragrance, an unmistakable sign of its value.

It would have been considered too precious if the gift was for Andy.

However, considering it was Margaret's seventieth birthday celebration and the number of guests present, offering such an extravagant gift in front of everyone was only natural.

In her youth, Margaret had a special affinity for God and often visited various churches. Hence, she had a collection of prayer beads at home.

Glancing at the box in Karolina's hands, Margaret knew that the prayer beads were undoubtedly of the finest quality. She beamed with delight and accepted the box, expressing her gratitude.

However, when Margaret opened the box, the string of prayer beads suddenly snapped.

The beads clattered out of the box and scattered all over the floor.

Karolina and Eurydice were taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and Margaret's shocked scream attracted the attention of the other guests.

Cooper, who had been conversing with someone else nearby, caught sight of the commotion, and his eyes flickered with intrigue.

He walked over and spoke up in a hushed tone amidst the silence, “When I went to the church, I heard a friar say that the string of prayer beads is like the lifeline of a person. If it breaks, it is not a good omen.”

Initially displeased by the broken beads, Margaret's face darkened even more upon hearing those words. She was looking downright grim.
