Chapter 210
” actually quite like that gem. It’s just that it doesn’t match my vibe. The fortune teller gave me a number, saying that if a buyer draws this number tonight, they’re definitely the one meant to have it. The family that gets it will be blessed with good fortune, abundant wealth, good health, and longevity.
and all their wishes will come true.”
Hearing this, all the ladies got really excited.
A destined person predicted by the fortune teller himself! No matter which lady is lucky enough to win it tonight, she will become the center of attention.
Mrs. Garber laughed and said, “Tell us the price now so that we don’t get our hopes up in vain.”
Krista chuckled, “Wait for it to be displayed later, and you’ll know.”
“You’re such a tease,” Sienna’s laugh came from behind, and everyone made way for her. Sienna walked steadily, followed by Kaylee, “Hurry up! There won’t be anyone left to see it if you delay the exhibition any longer.
Krista stepped forward to help the old lady and said gently, “Of course, I’ll do as you say. How could I not?”
Then she turned to the man next to her and said, “Joe, go let them know.”
The man left as instructed.
Krista kept her distance from everyone, even the respected Skyler. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she chatted with people with a smile. Yet she seemed particularly close with Sienna..
Mason noticed Celeste’s confusion and whispered, “When she was young, she lived with the Reed family for a while. Granny Reed treated her like her own. daughter, and they even promised that she would marry into the Reed family when she grew up.”
Celeste was very surprised.
It turned out that Krista had a marriage arrangement with Liam’s father. So, was she a love rival to Skyler?
But then again, who would take a marriage arrangement between kids so seriously?
Just as she was thinking, she heard a lady say. “Is it a jade bracelet?”
Another jade bracelet?
Celeste looked in the direction of the voice and saw the display next to the Luminous Pearl. The glass cover had been removed, revealing a dark green bracelet.
The close-up of the bracelet was shown on the big screen behind it, and the more Celeste looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. Eventually, she was sure that it was the same bracelet that Adriana had bought from Nicolas’s shop earlier.
Was this the bracelet the Reilly family wanted to auction off?
No, Adriana didn’t even know the Fletcher family, so how could they be so close with Krista, and even have her promote the bracelet to these ladies?
Remembering Shawn’s presence, Celeste quickly looked back.
Angel seemed to have anticipated Celeste’s gaze and had been watching her all along. When their eyes met, Angel put on a malicious smile.
Celeste felt her heart sink and suddenly had a bad premonition.
The bracelet itself was of excellent quality, and now with the fortune teller’s blessings, the ladies were even more eager for it..
“So this is the final jade bracelet? It does seem like a nice item.”
“Ive never seen such a beautiful shade of green before.”
“This jade bracelet has the fortune teller’s blessings, so of course, it’s pure treasure. The color is very eye-catching.”
“What’s the use of liking it? It’s all down to drawing lots; we don’t know who will get it. Mrs. Kelley, do you want to try later?”
Seeing Skyler staring at the bracelet closely, Mrs. Kelley laughed, “I’m just here for fun. My hands are busy picking up and dropping off kids all day, so wearing a bracelet is not very suitable for me. But I think this bracelet would look great on Skyler. Her skin is so smooth, and it would look stunning on her”
