It turned out it was Adam who came up with the idea but Leonardo.
"What?" Anthea was surprised.
At this time, Leonardo was busy explaining to people around him, "Yes, yes, my parents told me to bring the gift, a big luminous stone!
"I was afraid that I would lose it, so I asked Major Adam to help keep it when I came. Now it is in his room. I am going to pick it up now. If you want to see it first hand, you can go with me. If I take it down here, the strong lights in the banquet hall will make it less luminous!"
Leonardo's words were clear, logical, and appealing. It seemed that he had said it more than once.
Upon hearing that, the others immediately nodded excitedly and followed behind Leonardo.
It was not until this moment that Anthea understood that Leonardo was encouraging others with such a reason.
She also knew about the gift, which was symbolic. On the way, she saw it on the back seat, wrapped in a velvet box, looking very upscale. And she opened it to have a look and took pictures to show Adam.
However, Anthea was puzzled. Since when did Leonardo ask Adam to keep the gift?
Anthea couldn't help but look at Leonardo with questioning eyes.
Across the crowd, Adam glanced at Anthea and smiled slightly.
Then Anthea's phone vibrated.
Anthea picked it up and saw that it was Adam's message, "Come upstairs with me to watch a good show."
"To watch a good show?" Anthea thought to herself.
Anthea's face looked very confused.
She pulled Leonardo and asked in a low voice, "Golden Leonardo, what's going on?"
Leonardo shook his head, looking as confused as her, "I don't know even if you asked me! I just did what he asked. I don't know what he plans!"
By this time, the elevator had arrived on the first floor, and many people entered. Leonardo took Anthea's hand and also walked in.
Adam's room was on the 10th floor.
When Anthea came out of the elevator, she was surprised to find that so many people followed Leonardo, both men and women, and several people who seemed to be of high status.
These people not only followed Leonardo to see the luminous stone but also to curry favor with Adam. Everyone knew Adam's identity and background. The Chin Family was famous in Ice city, and Adam's accomplishments were superior, which everyone had to show some respect.
A large group of people went into Adam's room.
Adam was the last to enter the room, and he left the door unlocked.
Adam's room was a business suite. Now the living room was almost full of people.
Leonardo squeezed from the crowd to the front, opened the box on the tea table, and lazily said, "We should look at the luminous stone in the dark environment. I'll turn off the lights now so that everyone can have a better view!"
After he said that, he walked to turn off the lights.
No one had any objection to this. After the lights were off, the room immediately became dark.
Everyone was staring at the luminous stone, holding their breath, enjoying the moment that they had come for.
The room became quiet all at once.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Knock, knock.
Because everyone was attracted to the luminous stone, the room was silent, making the knocks on the door sounded very abrupt.
It was Shelby knocking on the door.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
