President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 478

"It's really it. It has been lost in your hands for so many years. Is this true?"

William McCarthy obviously knew what was in the box. His face was flushed with excitement, and his old hand gently touched it, and then his body trembled slightly.

Pierre Lafayette did not say a word and only watched with a smile.

Seeing how excited he was, Natalia asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you know this thing?"

William McCarthy nodded.

Then his face changed slightly.

"You're right. This thing is too valuable. You can't easily accept it."

He straightened up and turned to look at Pierre Lafayette. The excitement on his aged face disappeared, and his eyes were sharp.

"Tell me! What are you doing here today?"

Pierre Lafayette smiled. He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "The question is very strange. Since my niece is married, of course, I'm here to send gifts. What else can I do?"

William McCarthy snorted. "Do you think I'll believe such nonsense?"

After a pause, he angrily said: "Others don't know what kind of person The Lafayette Family is, but I know very well. If there is no profit, it is too early. You gave me such a valuable gift, but you didn't want to take anything back. Unless the sun comes out from the west, it is impossible."

Both Natalia and Archie McCarthy were surprised. They didn't expect William McCarthy to say something like that.

Pierre Lafayette suddenly sneered.

"William McCarthy said makes no sense. The thing is for Natalia, and it's up to her to decide whether to accept it or not. I don't have any objection that William McCarthy is not willing to be a gentleman, but I'm afraid that there are some things that you can't make the decision."

William McCarthy blushed at his words.

After a while, he sneered.

"A gentleman? Ha! If you can be regarded as a gentleman, then there will be no villain in the world."

Pierre Lafayette obviously did not come to quarrel with William McCarthy today. Although they had quarreled countless times before, he knew what his task was today.

So when he heard what the old man said, she didn't explain and only looked at Natalia with burning eyes.

"Natalia, do you know what this is?"

Natalia pursed her lips and shook her head.

"Have you heard of the story of the Jade?"

She was slightly stunned, and then her face changed slightly.

Not to mention her, everyone who had gone to primary school would know about the story of the Jade.

Such a valuable piece of jade had been regarded as a treasure since the Warring States Period. After thousands of years, it finally disappeared.

Thinking of the records of this jade in history, Natalia's heart couldn't help but surge. He then looked at the jade plate in the box and suddenly thought of something and was shocked.

"You mean..."

Pierre Lafayette nodded with a smile and took out the jade plate from the wooden box.

"This piece of jade was carved by the Jade. "Our ancestors were fortunate to find it. However, at that time, it was no longer the glory of a thousand years ago, and it was also damaged. Originally, our ancestors wanted to restore it to its original state, but they still used it as a jade seal. Unfortunately, countless craftsmen couldn't make it. In the end, we had no choice but to carve it into a jade plate."

He handed the jade plate in his hand to Natalia and said in a low voice, "This is what your father loved the most when he was alive. He was born with a fever and often needed to touch this to fall asleep. Now I give it to you. If you don't accept it, you can smash it. Anyway, your father is no longer here and can't use it. No matter how good the jade is, it will only be a piece of hard stone without its effect."

Natalia felt her palm sink and the cold jade plate fell into her palm.
