Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Chapter 330

She told Paige Walsh about Zara Walsh’s situation. Of course, she didn’t mention The Metropolis Residences, only that Zara Walsh had abused her position for personal gain.

Hopefully, Paige Walsh could persuade her husband and son not to get involved in Zara Walsh’s affairs any further.

Without the Simmons Family pulling strings to help, the Walsh Family alone might not be able to save Zara Walsh.

Just as Melody Summers put down her phone, she saw a new item being brought onto the auction stage.

The auctioneer on stage introduced it, "A jade pendant. Mr. Miles Howell was hailed as a genius designer right when he entered the industry, and he has always been dedicated to charity work."

"This piece is an old keepsake left behind by Mr. Miles Howell’s late father. He hopes that through this jade pendant, more people can receive aid during natural disasters, to comfort his father’s spirit in heaven."

Hearing this, Winnie Summers looked toward the auction stage. When she saw the pendant on the large screen, she let out a small, surprised "Ah!"

Melody Summers and Joanna Dunn also looked up at the sound and turned their gazes to the large screen.

After getting a clear look at the pendant on the screen, Miss Joanna Dunn smiled and said, "It looks like the material is Jadeite, but the quality isn’t very good. If you like this kind of pendant, I’ll give you a much better one later!"

But Winnie Summers shook her head and replied, "My dad once gave my mom a jade pendant... and it looked exactly like the one on the stage!"

Melody Summers was taken aback. "Grandpa gave Grandma a jade pendant? Mom, how come I’ve never heard about this?"

Winnie Summers patted Melody Summers’s hand and replied with a smile, "It was over thirty years ago. You weren’t even born yet."

Amid their curious gazes, Winnie Summers briefly explained the whole story.

It was only then that Melody Summers learned that when her maternal grandfather proposed to her grandmother, he had given her a jade pendant.

Although the pendant wasn’t very valuable, for the villagers at the time, it was considered a rare treasure. Her grandmother had always cherished it.

After her grandfather passed away, the pendant became a memento for her grandmother to remember him by.

Unfortunately, Winnie Summers’s younger sister, Maeve Summers, was mischievous as a child. Ignoring Winnie’s protests, she insisted on playing with the pendant, and in a moment of carelessness, she dropped and shattered it.

The pendant had an openwork carving, and the fall broke it into several pieces. Winnie Summers tried for a long time to glue it back together, but she couldn’t manage it.

Maeve Summers was terrified. Fearing a scolding from their mother, she tearfully begged Winnie Summers not to tell anyone what had happened.

Seeing her sister crying to the point of nearly passing out, Winnie couldn’t bear it. She helped her sister hide the broken pendant, and when their mother came looking for it, Winnie simply said she had accidentally lost it herself.

After hearing Winnie Summers’s story, Melody Summers decided to win the pendant at the auction.

Miss Joanna Dunn was right. The pendant’s material was ordinary, and the carving wasn’t particularly good, so the starting bid was very low, only 3,000 yuan.

Not many people were interested in it. After bidding a few times, Melody Summers successfully won the pendant for a price of 12,000 yuan.

In the VIP lounge, Mr. Rhodes and Ronan Rhodes watched Melody Summers bid on the pendant through a gap in the curtains.

Ronan Rhodes was the first to speak. "The quality of this pendant is just average. This Miles Howell... he’s made a lot of money over the years with his ’genius designer’ reputation, but I didn’t expect him to be getting so stingy."

Mr. Rhodes didn’t respond. He mulled it over for a moment before saying to Ronan Rhodes, "Call the butler right now. Have him find the Phoenix Peony jadeite pendant your grandmother left behind and have it sent over to me."
