Arabella opened the box to reveal a rare and precious necklace made of 98 small diamonds and one
large one, all in a striking sea-blue hue.
“This necklace was a gift from my mother on my eighteenth birthday,’ Jennifer chuckled, "And now, it
belongs to you.’
That was a treasure which was passed down through generations of daughters in her family, all the
way to its fifth generation through her.
But she was willing to give that necklace to Arabella, which spoke volumes about how much she valued
the Arabella.
Arabella could tell that the necklace was of considerable worth, both in terms of its clarity and color, it
was truly second to none.
“666 carats, wishing you all the luck in the world,” Jennifer said, looking at Arabella with affection and
fondness as she continued to say, “I hope your future is as smooth sailing as the blessing you wrote,
‘Ride the wind and crack the waves, soaring to the sky’
“This gift is too precious; I can’t accept it,’ Arabella could see the value and significance of the
necklace, which was easily worth a hundred million dollars.
“This is a token of my affection. You must accept it,’ Jennifer insisted, not giving her the chance to
refuse. She even changed the subject quickly to give her no room for rejection, “Look at what your
uncle has given you.”
What George offered was a beautifully crafted gemstone key with the McMillian family crest. It was
priceless.
It could unlock the McMillian family's secret base and even the
safes George and Jennifer had in foreign banks.
His thought was that since his daughter-in-law had joined the
family, she should be treated as a part of it. He and Jennifer
often traveled the world, and if anything happened to them, Bella could use that key to inherit
everything they had.
“Good thing it's not jewelry. Otherwise, Bella would run out of
places to wear it,’ Quipped Romeo from the side.
He had previously given Arabella bracelets, bangles, and
necklaces. Her grandmother had also given her heirlooms, and
her brothers had also given her plenty of jewelry.
If there were any more, she would really run out of places to wear
them.
The atmosphere lightened up thanks to his comment. Seeing that
Arabella was still reluctant to accept, he whispered, “Just take
what Mom and Dad are giving you. Don't be a stranger.”
In the end, Arabella accepted the two gifts. The family spent a
good while chatting happily before they left the private dining
room.
Downstairs in the restaurant.
Serena was dining with a few friends when she looked up to see
Phillip leading Shirley out of the elevator. Her eyes lit up, and she
was about to go greet them when she saw Romeo and Arabella
following them.
Romeo was whispering something to Arabella, who responded
quietly. They seemed to get along like a house on fire.
Even George and Jennifer, who were laughing and chatting with
Arabella as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, seemed to
adore their future daughter-in-law.
Serena's cutlery fell from her hand, her feelings a mix of shock, surprise, and disappointment.
Her friend Eileen, sitting next to her, nearly spat out her drink.
“Serena, look! Isn't that Romeo? Why is he holding hands with another girl?”
At her words, the other girls hurriedly looked over; all of them were stunned.
“Who is that girl? She looks about our age.”
“Are the two behind them Romeo's parents? Has her already met his parents??”
“Oh my god, Romeo is so out of line. He's engaged to you, yet he's entangled with another girl?’
“Arent the two in front Romeo's grandparents? No, I must be seeing things. I thought Romeo's
grandmother was in a vegetative state.’
“Serena, isn't Romeo your fiancé? What on earth is going on?"
Serena didn't know how to answer all those questions and could only say somewhat gloomily, “Don't
ask.’
