Chapter 1113

Serenity was shocked.

She was in the wrong business. In fact, why set up her own business? She could just give Zachary children. Her wealth could be built through giving birth.

Jasmine gasped in awe; as expected from the wealthy.

The push present was a lot of money, and Grandma May was not the only giver. The other family members would be showering with cash gifts too.

“Seren, you can be rich by having children,” Jasmine commented with a smile.

Elisa grabbed Jasmine’s hand and caressed the charm bracelet Jasmine got from Mrs. Bucham, uttering, “Jasmine, you don’t need to be envious of Seren. Your future mother-in- law gave you a family heirloom. I thought my eyes deceived me, but now that I had a close examination, I’m certain this is the Buchams’ family heirloom.”

Jasmine was at a loss for words.

“The Buchams’ family heirloom? How can you tell?”

It never occurred to Jasmine that Mrs. Bucham would give her the family heirloom during their first encounter.

Did Jasmine pass the test the first time?

“My mom took me to get acquainted with the ladies of the Bucham family. I always saw Mrs. Bucham with the charm bracelet. The first lady of the household also has one, and hers is more valuable than Mrs. Bucham’s.

“Mrs. Bucham mentioned that this is their family heirloom. It is passed down to the wife of the oldest son. I guess Josh is the oldest son?”

Jasmine replied, “Julian, the head of the household, is older.”

“But they don’t have the same mother. They’re just cousins.”

Jasmine blushed. “That’s a shocker. They are close like brothers. Josh must be the oldest child in his family then.”

Elisa remarked with a grin, “So you don’t need to be jealous of Seren. Your future in-laws are on the same level as the Yorks. God, both of you bagged the two greatest families in Wiltspoon.”

Jasmine looked at Serenity while Serenity met her gaze.

It was not like the girls had never seen jewelry before. Jasmine was aware that Mrs. Bucham gave her an expensive gift, but it never crossed her mind that Mrs. Bucham saw Jasmine as her daughter-in-law from the first time they met.

Josh must have known about it, but he said nothing. The man even urged Jasmine to accept the gift from Mrs. Bucham.

The guy was conniving as ever.

“I’m going to cook now.”

Jasmine made an excuse to leave so she could give Josh a call to verify whether Elisa was right.

She was able to mingle with the upper crust because she had an aunt who married into that circle.

Jasmine thought she knew the community well enough, but compared to Elisa, Jasmine realized there was a more affluent class above the circle she hung out with.

Jasmine did not even know about the Buchams’ family heirloom.

Not to mention, Serenity’s first contact with the upper society was through Jasmine.

Although Serenity was never into social climbing, she had somehow married into a powerful and wealthy family. She was the lady of the entire household, so there was a lot for Serenity to learn.

Compared to Jasmine, the burden on Serenity was heavier.

Serenity would have a lot on her plate.

“I’m not eating here today, Jasmine. No need to cook for me.”

Elisa added, “I’m leaving. I only came to talk about the progress of our investment project. Cece’s not feeling herself. I want to be there for her.”

“Is your best friend still feeling down?”

“She needs time to move on. She had been with the guy for so many years only to be betrayed. Not everybody is like me. It’s not easy to let go of feelings and move on. Even I cried to my brother a few times when I found out that Zachary was married.”

Serenity felt awkward.

She really thought things would work out for Elisa and Mr. York back then.
