Chapter 201
âYour husband? Youâre so affectionate with him, anyone who didnât know better would think you guys were closeâ Abigail said sarcastically. âYouâve been married for so long and heâs just now giving you a gift? Iâm dying to see what he got you I hope itâs not some cheap crap from the market, that would be hilariousâ
âDo you really need to be so sarcastic? Just wait and see what the gift is Cornelia opened the gift box in front of Abigail
Inside the gift box was an even more delicate box, and inside that, there was a beautiful necklace
The necklace had a starâshaped pendant, which appeared to be made of diamond
Cornelia picked it up and felt it. âAbby, do you think this is glass or diamond?â
Abigail examined it carefully. The craftsmanship is very nice, but thereâs no brand mark. Itâs not from a well known brand, so it probably didnât cost much.â
Even though it wasnt a designer plece, Cornelia was still very pleased, âWhether or not itâs a designer piece, itâs the thought from Jeremy Artis that counts.â
Abigail held the necklace up to the light, and the diamonds refracted a beautiful sparkle. It was as if they had stepped into a dream world.
They were both stunned, especially Abigail, âOh my god, this necklace is absolutely gorgeous. I take back what I said earlier. Even without a brand, just based on the material and craftsmanship. Id say this necklace is at least worth a hundred grand. If it was a designer piece, it could be worth even more. Jeremy must really care about you to give you such an extravagant giftâ
âA hundred grand? Really?â Cornelia immediately put the necklace back in its box, she couldnât bring herself to accept something so expensive.
She messaged Jeremy. âI got the necklace, is it really that expensive?â
For many people, the necklace was indeed very pricey. But for Marcus Hartley, it was just a drop in the bucket.
He replied from Corneliaâs perspective. âYesâ
Cornelia, âEven a hundred grand?â
A hundred grand?
The smallest diamond on the necklace was worth more than that.
Marcus chuckled at the number on the screen, âA hundred grandâ
If he told her that he bought the necklace on a whim before he came back, at a cost of thirty million dollars, would she think he was lying?
Marcus replied with a single word, âYesâ
Seeing Jeremyâs reply, Cornelia felt a pang of guilt, âSpending a hundred grand on a necklace, isnât that a bit much? Weâre not rich. Money should be spent where itâs needed, not wasted on things that arenât necessaryâ
Jeremy, Well, I guess I could be considered richâ
Cornelia was speechless.
Granny Luisa once said that Jeremy had his own business. It seemed like it was doing quite well.
A hundred grand might be a lot for her, but it probably wasnât for Jeremy
She shouldnât think that just because she wouldnât buy something so expensive, that other people would only buy it to show off
Cornelia was about to apologize, but before she could send the message, Jeremy sent her another one, âYouâre my wife, whatâs mine is also yours. You can use the bank card I gave you any way you want.â
