Chapter 967: Chapter 967

When she had acquired more money later on, this necklace never appeared on auction again.

In fact, saying that it currently cost fifty million was too low of an estimated market price. Many people would not be able to buy it, even with a bid of a hundred million. “You‘re saying that this necklace was on the neck of your adopted daughter?” Mrs. Finnian asked softly as she picked up the necklace.

Jada nodded. “It‘s because she‘s not an ordinary person, that‘s why I want her to marry into your family. In all of Cloud City, only the Finnian heir would be a suitable match for her.”

Mrs. Finnian placed a hand on the table. Her mind was thinking fast.

She had initially wanted her son to marry a rich girl from Sea City, but the aristocratic society in Sea City simply looked down on the people of Cloud City. She had tried very hard for so long, but she still could not gain access to Sea City‘s aristocracy.

If Jack could not marry a rich lady from Sea City, they would have to arrange a marriage with a family in Cloud City that was of similar status to the Finnians.

The status of an adopted daughter of the Willis family was still a little beneath them. However, this Heart of the Ocean belonged to the adopted daughter… A woman who could possess this was definitely no ordinary person.

“How do I know you‘re not lying to me?” Mrs. Finnian asked coolly.

Jada closed the sandalwood case and said with a slight smile, “I just want to help Adeena find her biological parents, that‘s why I wanted her to marry into the Finnian family. But since you do not agree, Mrs. Finnian, then forget it. One of these days, I‘ll take Adeena to Sea City and find her someone powerful…“. Mrs. Finnian pondered for a bit. “I need to think about it.”

“There‘s nothing to think about, I won‘t agree to it.”

At that moment, a cold voice came from the door.

Adeena walked through the cloister and stood before the two madams. “I don‘t intend to get married until I‘ve recalled everything about my past. Mother, please don‘t worry about me anymore.”

Mrs. Finnian‘s eyes narrowed, and she carefully assessed Adeena.

She had been to the Willis family‘s mansion several times before and had met their adopted daughter.

But she was only an adopted daughter, so she had not spared the girl more than a glance. But upon seeing her today, Mrs. Finnian was astonished by her beauty.

Aside from her beautiful appearance, the adopted daughter had a really powerful presence, and her cold eyes made it hard for people to meet her gaze. A woman with such a presence could never be a minor character.

All kinds of ideas rapidly passed through Mrs. Finnian‘s mind, then she smiled. “You must be Adeena, right?”

Adeena coolly replied, “Yes.”

She only uttered one sentence in neither a servile nor overbearing tone. It carried an air of superiority.

Mrs. Finnian was more pleased by this. It appeared that Jada did lie to her. She continued to speak, “Come visit us in the Finnian family‘s mansion. Jacky has told me about you before.”

“Jacky?

Adeena drew a blank for a moment.

‘Why is this name so familiar?‘

“He‘s the young master of the Finnian family, Jack,” Jada reminded her from the side. Adeena was speechless.

That Finnian heir was almost thirty years old, calling him Jacky was a bit unfitting…

“Jacky is twenty–eight this year. He‘s still quite young and has a successful career. There are many girls in Cloud City who want to marry him. However, Jacky isn‘t interested in those chatty girls. He has actually mentioned your name to us several times,” Mrs. Finnian said with a smile. “Are you free tomorrow, Adeena? I can have Jacky come over and fetch you to have lunch with us at our mansion.”
