His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 81

Jonathan's gaze lingered on Niamh, probing, as if searching for secrets. Flustered, she looked away.

Admittedly, gifting a McDonald Stradivarius in front of everyone was a little showy, but opportunities like this didn't come around twice. For her grandfather's sake, she was willing to risk Jonathan's suspicions about her sudden windfall.

Not long ago, Niamh had received a substantial sum from Peter. Between royalties from the Grand Piano Collection, design fees for a new line, and a generous sponsorship after the Solmaris royal family adopted her jewelry as their official pieces, her bank account had never looked healthier.

She'd wanted to give her grandfather a violin for years—this violin—but it had always been out of reach. Now, with the money finally in hand, she'd contacted Linden.

Despite his youth, Linden was the most sought-after concert pianist in the world, a true superstar with connections everywhere. And, as fate would have it, he was Niamh's protégé.

In the end, Niamh spent fifty million dollars to purchase the McDonald Stradivarius. The transaction left her with only a few million to her name, but that was enough. She lived simply, no different from any ordinary professional, and as long as she could cover her medical bills, she was content.

At the birthday celebration, aside from the guest of honor, no one drew more attention than Niamh and her extraordinary gift.

Marina's face soured, as if she'd smeared ash across her cheeks. Moments ago, Marigold and Sprague had been raving about the elegant alabaster sculpture she'd gifted. Now, with Niamh's present revealed, no one so much as mentioned it.

Marina recognized the violin immediately. Even at a conservative estimate, the McDonald Stradivarius was worth hundreds of millions. Where on earth had Niamh gotten that kind of money?
