Chapter 1017 Ruth took the gift box. Her hands trembled as she opened it. It was a sparkling gown.
It was a new gown that was just released by a luxury brand this month. She never thought that it would appear in her hands.
âThis⦠This is for me?â
Ruth raised his head. Her voice quivered slightly.
Daniel nodded, âIf you donât like it, Iâll get another one for you.â
âI just donât understand why Harold would want to please a woman like her.
âIâve never heard of anyone from the Willis family. Could she be related to the Winters family?
âIf thatâs the case, why didnât he give it to her himself?â âOf course, I love it.â Ruthâs eyes lit up as she looked at the man in front of him. âWhy are you giving me the gown?â
âNo, Iâm not the oneâ¦â
âHarold told me not to bring up the Winters family.â
Daniel paused and changed his mind, âYou just got here, and youâve already stained your gown. I happened to have an extra gown with me.â
âThank youâ¦â
Ruth finally calmed down. Her eyes lit up and she smiled youthfully. âMay I know your name?â
âIâm Jones. Daniel Jones.â He reached out his hand. âNice to meet you, Ms. Willis.â
âNice to meet you too, Mr. Jones.
Ruth took his fair hand and shook it.
It was clean and warm, making her feel a little emotional.
Daniel pulled back his hand. âMs. Willis, let me bring you to the changing room.â
Ruth nodded. Her mind went blank as she followed after him shyly.
She then hurriedly entered the changing room to put on the new gown.
Daniel let out a sigh of relief when the changing room door closed.
That brat has never asked for a favor from me before. This is his first time. Iâm afraid I might mess it up.â
âUncle Daniel!â Harold ran over to him. âHereâs a pair of earrings and a bracelet for her. Please pass them to her later.â
Daniel took a look at it. He had seen these earrings before. They were worn by the princess of Plosis during the finale of the charity dinner a few days ago. There was a big pink diamond and sixtyâsix small diamonds on each earring. Each of the diamonds was priceless, these pairs of earrings cost more than forty million dollars.
And this bracelet was an antique from the Eosul period. It cost more than thirteen million dollars.
âWhy are you willing to give away something so precious?â Daniel asked him.
Harold smiled. âIâll give her whatever she likes.â
He quickly hid in a corner after he said it.
Daniel was left speechless.
âThis kid is just nine years old.
âAnd Ms. Willis is about twenty.
âThatâs⦠impossible! âI must be overthinking it. âIf he knows what Iâm thinking right now, heâll be extremely mad.â
Ruth walked out of changing up, feeling in a trance. When she saw Daniel waiting for her at the door, she was shocked and became even more coy.
âMr. Jones. Are you waiting for me?â Daniel coughed a little and said gently, âYour necklace is very beautiful.â
She smiled shyly, âThanks, I think this Heart of the Ocean is beautiful, too.â âHeart of the Ocean?â
Daniel frowned a little.
âI remember Duke gave the Heart of the Ocean to Adina many years back.
How is it with Ms. Willis?
âButâ¦â
He took a glance at Ruthâs earrings. They were ordinary pearls, and they cost less than two hundred thousand dollars.
She also wore a bracelet on her wrist. It was made of platinum and was decorated with a diamond, costing more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
