Chapter 202
“I actually quite like the jade. Still, the Venerable Raphael Morghen said that the jade could recognize its master and was incompatible with my aura. He wrote a number for me and said if the buyer drew the same number tonight, they would be the one destined for it. The family who gets the item would definitely prosper, live long and healthy, and have their wishes come true,” Irene added.
After saying all that, it made the madams feel very tempted. Having the Venerable Raphael Morghen foretell the prophesied person would not only be a blessing, but the person would also gain social status. And, it would also make the lucky madam who got it to be the talk of
the town.
Mrs. Wood chuckled, “Tell us the price and let everyone settle down.”
Irene let out a light chuckle. “Everyone will know when we exhibit it later.”
“Young child, you still want to build up suspense,” Behind her, Cordelia’s laughter floated over. Everyone made way for her and saw Cordelia walking steadily with Aurora following behind. “Let’s get it going, then. If you continue to tease us, everyone will leave soon enough.”
Irene went up to support Cordelia and gently said, “As you wish. How could I not exhibit it when you requested it to be exhibited?”
As she said so, she turned around and told the man next to her, “Sean, you should go and
inform them.”
The man answered and left. Irene was distant from everyone, including Dahlia, who was respected by all the other madams. She would be humble and smile lightly at them. But, when she was with Cordelia, she would be incredibly affectionate.
Marshall saw the confusion in Stella’s eyes and said in a low voice, “My aunt used to stay in the Kane family for a short while. Madam Cordelia treated her like a daughter and even set her up to be betrothed to Uncle Kane when they were young.”
Stella was surprised. ‘Irene used to be betrothed to my father-in-law. Does this mean that Dahlia and her used to be rivals?’
The jade’s grading was brilliant and had the blessing from the Venerable Raphael Morghen, so the madams were especially attracted to the jade bracelet.
“That’s the jade bracelet that will be the grand finale? It looks like an actual good item.”
“It’s the first time I have ever seen one with such a full emerald color.”
“The Venerable Raphael Morghen had blessed it, so naturally, it’s a good item. The color also seemed very pleasing.”
“What’s the point of liking it? We need to go through a lottery for it. Who knows who would be able to get it. Mrs. Chapman, are you going to draw for it?”
Mrs. Chapman saw Dahlia eyeing the jade carefully and smiled. “I’ll just be joining the crowd. I send my kids to and from every day, so wearing jade wouldn’t be suitable. However, I can see that the bracelet is compatible with Madam Kane. Madam Kane’s skin is fair and would be quite beautiful when she wears it.”
