Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 556

It was just ten percent of the shares, right? Was it really worth everyone going crazy trying to track down a single necklace?

However, she was growing increasingly certain that her grandfather had known about the necklace and the fact that she wasn't Frederick's daughter. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically instructed her to retrieve her mother's necklace at all costs.

But why had her grandfather never told her anything about her mother's past?

He hadn't offered even a single hint.

Julius looked at his little wife, who seemed adorably oblivious to the gravity of the situation. It was clear she knew absolutely nothing about the Rox family.

The Rox family was obscenely wealthy—the most powerful family in all of South Africa.

The entire diamond district in Brolin City belonged to them, not to mention their massive coal, oil, and various other industrial empires.

But their internal power struggles were notoriously ruthless.

That was exactly why he had been so confident that Gina Gould's reach couldn't extend from Florian City into this territory.

He nodded at her. "Yes. It's a lot."

"More than you have?"

"About the same, give or take."

It was impossible to do a direct comparison, but the Rox family easily sat on the Forbes billionaire list.

As for whose net worth was technically higher, it was hard to say. The rankings rarely reflected true, hidden wealth anyway.

Furthermore, the Rox family was sprawling. If their assets were ever fully divided among the heirs, the individual pieces definitely wouldn't amount to his personal fortune.

His own situation was far simpler. He fully intended to transfer his personal assets to her name; in fact, the paperwork was already underway.

Her ten percent slice, however, was still a staggering fortune, far beyond a simple payout.

"That is a lot, Mr. Rox. If I keep the necklace, I'm not going to have assassins coming after me, am I?"

If it was going to cause that much trouble, she'd rather not have it at all.
