Shattered Vows: Call Me Auntie Now novel Chapter 377

Guided by Mrs. Carlisle, Quinn Yates met several high-society wives in Harbor Heights.

One of them locked her gaze on the pendant dangling from the frog button of Quinn's dress, her eyes lighting up.

"Oh, that pendant is truly exquisite. Where did you buy it?"

Quinn smiled. "My husband gave it to me for my birthday. It's just a simple accessory, not worth much."

To outsiders, it might seem ordinary, but to her, the value of a gift was never in its price tag. Raymond Moretti had given it to her, making it something she treasured dearly.

The woman, an avid fan of tailored dresses and a collector of various accessories, leaned in for a closer look and immediately laughed.

"Don't say that. The jade on this pendant is anything but ordinary. It's top-tier gemstone quality. Just look at the hand-carved details—the craftsmanship is impeccable. It has to be worth at least a million dollars."

Quinn froze, a flash of surprise crossing her face.

She had always thought it was just a regular everyday piece, never imagining it could be so valuable.

But Raymond was just a bodyguard from a humble background. Where would he get that kind of money to buy such an expensive gift?

The woman must have been mistaken.

Raymond was always so frugal; there was no way he would buy something so extravagant.

As she pondered this, she overheard Mr. Carlisle chatting with several business elites nearby.

"I heard the CEO of VGC Global is coming today?"

"Seriously? He's always kept such a low profile!"

"Even though he owns this estate, he rarely shows his face in public. He might just have one of his executives attend in his place."

"He is incredibly young and successful. If we could secure a partnership with him, even the crumbs from his table would be enough to make my company soar!"

"Absolutely. He built everything from scratch. To achieve this level of wealth and status in just a few short years is truly formidable!"

"..."

Listening to them, Quinn couldn't help her curiosity and turned to Mrs. Carlisle.

"Who is this CEO they're talking about?"

He sounded both mysterious and incredibly powerful.

Mrs. Carlisle replied, "The CEO of VGC Global. He's a mysterious titan who rarely makes public appearances."

"Word has it he's young, incredibly rich, and extremely handsome. Countless heiresses and A-list celebrities have tried to sink their hooks into him, but no one can even manage to track him down."

Quinn smiled at that. It sounded exactly like a story about a cold, ruthless billionaire.

However, her smile quickly faded.

A sudden commotion rippled through the banquet hall, and Quinn looked toward the source of the noise—

Several men in black suits flanked a man walking through the crowd. He was tall and impeccably built, his features sharp and devastatingly handsome. Dressed in a bespoke black suit, he exuded an aura of absolute aristocratic dominance.
