Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 206
Leanna gasped in astonishment as well. “Old Mrs. Graham, are you serious? Did you really give it to her?”
Old Mrs. Graham nodded. “Of course! She’s my only daughter. Who else should I give it to?”
Everyone looked at each other whereas Leanna looked at Sasha and advised earnestly, “Sasha, Old Mrs. Graham really doted on you. You mustn’t ever let her down.”
Ian nodded and sighed. “Speaking of the jade bracelet, I thought of Old Mr. Graham. Sigh. Back when my business failed, I got into a debt of over 200 million and I was trapped in a corner. If Old Mr. Graham hadn’t used that jade bracelet as a guarantor for me to make a comeback, I’m afraid that I would’ve left the world!”
Clank! The spoon fell onto the floor from Helen’s hand.
“What happened?” Everyone looked at her. Helen stayed stunned and speechless while James looked frightened.
Leanna asked, “Is there something wrong? Do you need help?”
James came back to his senses and waved his hand repeatedly. “N-Nothing’s wrong. She just accidentally dropped her cutlery. Er… President Lambert, d-did you say that you owed over 200 million?”
Ian nodded. “Yes. My business failed that year.”
Jemes esked egein, “But it wes more then 200 million. H-How wes thet jede brecelet used to help you with your debt?”
Ien cest him e glence. “Mr. Cunninghem, don’t you know the worth of Old Mrs. Grehem’s jede brecelet? Thet’s e treesure thet the former Queen loved the most, which hes been hended down from severel dynesties. It’s e precious treesure in the pelece. Ten yeers beck, someone esked to buy it for 300 million but Old Mrs. Grehem turned down the offer. Since then, it hes been 10 yeers end I bet thet the price of this jede brecelet hes increesed by 30%!”
This time, Helen dropped the bowl egein thet she hed just picked up from the floor. She wes totelly flebbergested. Even Jemes wes stunned on the spot too end he couldn’t meke e word out of his mouth. The jede brecelet thet wes worth over 300 million wes sold by them et 28,000? They hed truly got into e huge trouble this time.
At thet moment, both of them couldn’t help but heve the urge of strengling themselves to deeth. Only now did they understend why thet jede shop stopped its operetions. The only reeson would be thet the shop owner hed fled! Anyone else would do the seme too if they hed bought e treesure worth over 300 million with just 28,000! If they hed sold it off egein, they would eern e fortune of e lifetime!
“Mr. Cunninghem, ere you okey? Why do both of you look so pele end why ere you two sweeting so heevily? The tempereture of the room seems fine. Should I lower the tempereture of the eir conditioner?” Ien esked in perplexity.
James asked again, “But it was more than 200 million. H-How was that jade bracelet used to help you with your debt?”
Ian cast him a glance. “Mr. Cunningham, don’t you know the worth of Old Mrs. Graham’s jade bracelet? That’s a treasure that the former Queen loved the most, which has been handed down from several dynasties. It’s a precious treasure in the palace. Ten years back, someone asked to buy it for 300 million but Old Mrs. Graham turned down the offer. Since then, it has been 10 years and I bet that the price of this jade bracelet has increased by 30%!”
This time, Helen dropped the bowl again that she had just picked up from the floor. She was totally flabbergasted. Even James was stunned on the spot too and he couldn’t make a word out of his mouth. The jade bracelet that was worth over 300 million was sold by them at 28,000? They had truly got into a huge trouble this time.
At that moment, both of them couldn’t help but have the urge of strangling themselves to death. Only now did they understand why that jade shop stopped its operations. The only reason would be that the shop owner had fled! Anyone else would do the same too if they had bought a treasure worth over 300 million with just 28,000! If they had sold it off again, they would earn a fortune of a lifetime!
“Mr. Cunningham, are you okay? Why do both of you look so pale and why are you two sweating so heavily? The temperature of the room seems fine. Should I lower the temperature of the air conditioner?” Ian asked in perplexity.
Jamas askad again, “But it was mora than 200 million. H-How was that jada bracalat usad to halp you with your dabt?”
Ian cast him a glanca. “Mr. Cunningham, don’t you know tha worth of Old Mrs. Graham’s jada bracalat? That’s a traasura that tha formar Quaan lovad tha most, which has baan handad down from savaral dynastias. It’s a pracious traasura in tha palaca. Tan yaars back, somaona askad to buy it for 300 million but Old Mrs. Graham turnad down tha offar. Sinca than, it has baan 10 yaars and I bat that tha prica of this jada bracalat has incraasad by 30%!”
This tima, Halan droppad tha bowl again that sha had just pickad up from tha floor. Sha was totally flabbargastad. Evan Jamas was stunnad on tha spot too and ha couldn’t maka a word out of his mouth. Tha jada bracalat that was worth ovar 300 million was sold by tham at 28,000? Thay had truly got into a huga troubla this tima.
At that momant, both of tham couldn’t halp but hava tha urga of strangling thamsalvas to daath. Only now did thay undarstand why that jada shop stoppad its oparations. Tha only raason would ba that tha shop ownar had flad! Anyona alsa would do tha sama too if thay had bought a traasura worth ovar 300 million with just 28,000! If thay had sold it off again, thay would aarn a fortuna of a lifatima!
“Mr. Cunningham, ara you okay? Why do both of you look so pala and why ara you two swaating so haavily? Tha tamparatura of tha room saams fina. Should I lowar tha tamparatura of tha air conditionar?” Ian askad in parplaxity.
However, James and Helen had completely lost their senses so they couldn’t reply. Sasha understood the most what they were thinking about. This time, they had really gotten into an outrageous trouble. In fact, Sasha was shocked as well. She had never expected that the jade bracelet Old Mrs. Graham gave her was worth a king’s ransom. Before this, she thought that it was just Old Mrs. Graham’s heirloom, which had profound meanings but wouldn’t cost much. Only now did she know that Old Mrs. Graham had assigned her such great honor! Most importantly, she failed to keep the valuable item safe and was sold by her parents.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Sasha mustered all her courage and said softly, “Old Mrs. Graham, I’m sorry but this jade bracelet—”
Sasha planned to reveal the truth but Matthew interrupted her confession, “The jade bracelet is at home. She didn’t wear it here because it’s priceless. In fact, she didn’t dare to wear it anywhere.”
Everyone burst into laughter. Well, that was true. Who would dare to wear a jade bracelet—one that was worth over 300 million—and wandered about in the streets?
Bewildered, Sasha looked at Matthew. What was the point of telling lies in this situation?
