Chapter 975 However, Mdm. Willis lived in Clarence Willis‘ mansion and did not live them, so they would only meet two or three times a year. Adeena never treated Mdm. Willis with any importance. “Adeena, come here and see what I got for you.” Jada gestured with her hand. “These are a pair of white jade pearl earrings, the best of their kind, and they go really well with your skin color.”
Adeena glanced at them. Although she had never been much for jewelry, she could see at a glance that these earrings were indeed of high quality.

Jada smiled and nodded. It was not until Adeena had retired to her room did the smile disappeared completely from Jada‘s face.
