The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds novel Chapter 47

Adrian and Belle shortly arrived at the headquarters of Southrive’s Swallowston Jewelers.

There, Belle brought out a necklace to show Adrian and said, “This necklace is called the Heart of the Sea. It’s made from Graff Pink diamond, also known to be the most precious gemstone in the world.

“Its cut, color, and clarity make one feel like they’re looking at the ocean. Its heart-shaped design is how it got its name.

“This necklace is the most precious piece of our collection. It was previously auctioned at Paolo Auctioneers with a starting price of twelve million dollars, but nobody was able to afford it.

“After that, this necklace was crowned to be fit for a goddess and has been in numerous exhibitions both large and small. You could even say that it’s as popular as a celebrity, holding the love of countless people.”

Adrian took a look at the necklace.

‘She’s right, it does seem very outstanding. With how it’s able to exhibit a woman’s elegance, it’s specially made for women. I doubt any ordinary woman would be able to handle its effect.’

Belle then continued, “Mr. Adrian, I’m sure the Heart of the Sea has been made especially for someone mature, beautiful, kind, and elegant like Ms. Samantha.”

Belle had a very keen eye for women since she was one herself.

Adrian took another look at the necklace and came to believe Belle’s judgment even more.

“All right, I’ll take it. Remember to state in the receipt that the necklace cost three thousand dollars and pack it in an ordinary-looking box. I’ll pay you whatever price you ask.”

The necklace was a priceless piece, so much so that it was said to be invaluable throughout all of Southrive seeing how Belle had chosen to put it up for exhibition rather than sell it off. However, since Adrian was the one who made the request, it was only natural for her to oblige.

With a smile, Belle said, “This necklace had a starting price of twelve million dollars back at the auction before I decided to not sell it. So, I’ll now charge you that exact price without any interest since you want it. Consider this a present from me to Ms. Samantha.”

Money was not important to Belle. Instead, what she aimed for was to build a connection with the legate.
