Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 161

After primly seating herself next to the most honorable first lady of the land, Angela listened to her chat with Nicole silently. After some time, never mind how long exactly, the first lady turned to Angela and said, "I heard a rumor that you were recently given a South Sea Pearl, the world's most famous one, and I had to ask, really?"

Her words drew the attention of innumerable people; now all eyes were on Angela, waiting to hear what she would say in return.

"Is the pearl in her hand?"

"It's nothing extraordinary, after all she is the heir to Chengyang Hospital!"

"But I heard that the South Sea Pearl had been acquired by a very powerful figure in J city."

......

The baby fist-sized South Sea white buttercup pearl, whether in C country or in the Shine Empire, or in A country, had been the hottest topic of late.

Angela, after a spell, nodded with honesty in her look. She really did not expect the president's wife to know this information, much less to ask her outright about it.

The president's wife nodded and said nothing more.

Instead, a lady beside her, who had observed Angela for the longest time, now spoke, and asked the question which had been on the lips of all the people who knew about the South Sea Pearl. "Does Angela have a mind to sell the pearl at some stage? Money is not the obstacle......"

'Money? Why did you talk to her about money?' Janet laughed sarcastically while eating sunflower seeds.

Angela was also a straightforward person, not some hypocritical bozo who's used to beating around the bush; immediately, she responded to her. "I'm sorry, this pearl was given to me by someone who is very important to me. I like it so much that I will never sell it."

How could she give it to someone else? It is a gift from Arvin.

The fair lady did not expect Angela to reject her offer, her face colored a little out of embarrassment. She forced herself to say, "Mr. President's wife seems to like it too... "Can Miss Angela give it up?"

The president's wife looked at the lady reproachfully. "Well, Miss Angela has said that she likes it very much, and that means we can't impose..."

A look of reproach, but a tone of conciliation.

How could Angela not see the situation between them? As she indifferently put a piece of Plum Meat into her mouth, slowly chewing it down into her stomach, she responded, "Well...... Surely our Lady is sensible, unlike you. I've said that I will never part with the pearl, but yet you still asked me to. I know you have no vicious meanings, at least none that I know of, still, some people would think you are intentionally here to discommode me!"

"How do I dare to do that?" The lady was red in the face when she was told this by Angela, who was also the precious princess of the Si family. She could only hold her discontent in her heart while the flames rasped against her every fiber.

Nicole's eyes swept over several people before looking at Angela with a cautionary smile. "Angela, Ms. Duan was just asking. She didn't mean anything else, I assure you. The South Sea pearl has been given to you by a man of great prestige, no doubt. It's yours, and no one can take it away from you!"

Nicole sounded her words out slowly to be understood perfectly by Angela. The fair lady's meaning had to be elucidated clearly to Angela so that she could understand, but her words also served to protect Angela. The meaning of her words directly and indirectly declared what's hers was hers, nobody could take it away!

Janet spit out a sunflower seed skin, then said to Angela, "Angela, your boyfriend really loves you! Taking a South Sea pearl valued a few billion dollars...as a love token! You must cherish it with all your heart!"

Love token? People who heard these two words grumbled enviously to themselves, and the one recurrent thought among them was, 'Who gave her the pearl? Is a token worth billions?"

Money was not the point, the point was that in the contest involved ten thousand men, it ended up in his hands.

So, this showed that this person was not only rich, but also... Powerful!
