Chapter 1469 "A complete set of black pearl jewelry from Tahiti," said Felicity.
"A pair of imperial green jade earrings," added Vermont.
“A bracelet with blue diamonds from South Zuluford." "A carved jade statue of Jesus." The two sounded like they were reciting a song.
Upon finishing the list, they embraced in feigned emotional display.
Felicity pretended to sob, "I'm so envious.
I'm afraid my best friend will suffer, yet I'm jealous that she'll be driving a Land Rover.
This is so contradicting." Vermont joined in, "I'm scared my best bro will outshine me in looks, yet I'm also worried he'll enjoy a life of luxury.
This is happening all too soon.
What should I do?" Stella and Keegan were speechless.
'No wonder these two can get together,' they thought.
Seeing the two continue their act, Keegan walked over and playfully kicked Vermont's backside.
"Enough of that, or I'll chase you out.” Vermont retorted with a middle finger.
They then finally settled down and commenced a serious inventory.
Most valuable items like vehicles, properties, and jewelry were gifts from the elders of the Hall and Saun families.
Most other guests had given monetary gifts, with a few presenting valuable calligraphy, paintings, or collectibles.
It was already three in the morning when the group completed the inventory.
Stella and Felicity were tired.
They opted to sit on the carpet to tally up the gifts.
Vermont took pictures of items Stella knew she would not use and sent them to some of his friends in the resale business, inquiring about potential returns.
Keegan ordered some room service and brought over several bottles of water.
He settled down next to Stella and said, "How's it going?" "We're nearly finished," Stella paused.
"There's only the transfer of ownership for The Velvet left." "The Velvet?" Vermont chimed in.
"Did your stepmother gift you the jewelry store? What's the story behind that?" Stella raised an eyebrow, "You're familiar with this store too?" “Did you forget I'm also in the jewelry business?" Vermont elaborated, ''The Velvet has been thriving and boasting a steadfast customer base.
While it might not generate as much profit as the jewelry store I launched, it holds itself within the industry.
"The name alone speaks volumes.
It's clear your stepmom set this store up for her daughter.
How did you end up with it?" Stella then recounted the circumstances at the hospital.
Vermont nodded in enlightenment.
"Ah, it all makes sense now." "What makes sense?" Vermont pocketed his phone.
"Even though this store is profitable, transferring it into your name might alter its fortunes." Stella was intrigued.
"What do you mean?" "The story is a tad lengthy.” Felicity interjected, playfully nudging him with her bare foot.
" Just spill the beans.
Enough with the mystery."
