Is a broken bottle worth so much money?”

Quentin couldn’t believe it. With this money, he could buy several submachine guns, Wasn’t that thing much cooler than thist

Pearl, which historical era does this antique belong to? Why does it look similar to enamel?”

Hubert, being somewhat of a novice in the field of antiques, decided in seek answers. He couldn’t make head or tail of it and knew he had to consult The expert Pearl

heard introduced it to them cably. This is not enamel, but five–colored porcelain. It’s matured in the Renaissance era. This should be a five- colored porcelain glaze from the reign of Emperor Henry era, making it very precious as there aren’t many works that have been passed down for generations.”

At this point, she couldn’t resist her professional instinct. She went forward and turned the porcelain to explain to them.

The main color of Golden Age porcelain is blue and white, but during the reign of Emperor Henry, the red color of the glaze dominated the mainstream. It also opened the prelude to the glory of the five–colored porcelain. The exquisite patterns such as dragon and cloud patterns were drawn by red colors.

Alright, alright. That’s enough. If you keep going, we’ll faint. Knowing that it’s an antique from the Renaissance era is sufficient.”

Hubert interrupted Pearl at the right time and said. “I didn’t expect Mare to be willing to give you such a valuable item. He even snatched an

nameled bowl from you last time. He’s improved a lot in just a few months

He dares to snatch something from my little sister!”

Noah’s face displayed a brief shadow of frustration as he scolded again, “Stupid straight man.”

Henry looked at Pearl. “He left after giving you the gift. Did he say anything!”

Pearl’s eyes were clear as she replied, “He just said ‘Happy Birthday‘ and didn’t say much else”

“What’s so good about a lousy porcelain! That bastard made Pearl suffer for so many years. Does he want to make up for it with just a bottle! No way!

Quentin went forward and picked up the bottle, “I’ll throw it out now. Out of sight, out of mind.”

He held the boude tightly and held it upside down, but something suddenly fell out of the bottle and slid down Quentin’s arm to the ground.

“What just fell out?

Hubert took a step forward and picked up the item from the ground. He handed it to Pearl and looked at her neck. He said in surprise, “Hey? Is this a necklace Why does it look so similar to the one you’re wearing!”

It was also a smiley face necklace. The color of the chain was slightly darker, but the shape of the smiley face was almost identical.

Pearl pursed her lips, still in astonishment.

It did appear to be a matching necklace.

It was quite remarkable that such a coincidence could still happen in this day and age

Hubert had just handed the necklace to Pearl when he suddenly curled his fingers and said in surprise, “Why is there blood on this necklace”

Pearl frowned and held the necklace. Her fingertips were stained with blood.

Connor, supporting the sull–shaken Darren, walked into the room and took a seat in one of the chairs.

Pearl looked at Connor’s bloody hand. The smiley necklace on her neck was personally made by Connor, Could it be that the one in her hand was also personally made by Mare

cold as if washed by the rain, carrying a hint of the refreshing coolness.

As soon as he closed her eyes, the image of Pearl’s ancient costume appeared in his mind uncontrollably. She looked so gentle and elegant, like the

way she was when she first came to him three years ago, and yet at the same time, seemingly completely different

In fact, it wasn’t that she had changed, it was just that in the past three years, she had only shown her gente de in front of him, lading her dam and domineering side.

But now, she had completely hidden her gentle side and revealed all her sharpness.

Now, he could hear Thomas chattering

Marr grunted. Do as you deem fit”

Thomas turned his head and continued to ask. “The live–colored porcelain you asked me to bring out from the museum surely gouged a significant amount from Mr. Miller, and it really made him cry. Does Ms. Wholery know that the porcelain is worth so much money?”

He was worried that Pearl would not recognize it. “This five–colored porcelain is much more valuable than the previous four enameled boods

“Why are you talking so much? It’s not your money you’re spending.” Marc interrupted him impatiently.

Antique and jade items were inseparable to begin with How could a gemstone carving master for how much it was worth, it would be well within her expertise.

A birthday present was a token of appreciation.

He lowered his eyes and looked at his hand. If it weren’t for the fact that he was so stupid that his hand was covered in blood from making a necklace, he really hoped that he could give her something that he had personally made.

Just like the gift she had personally made for him.

He was inexperienced, so he specially checked some posts on the Internet. Some posts mentioned that when pursuing someone, you had to put in genuine effort. He realized that his feelings for Pearl were not even a thousandth of what she had for him back then.

However, who gave her that smiley necklace!

Could it be from someone else who’s pursuing her!

The sky gradually darkened, and the birthday banquet ended.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the group of brothers planned to go for a drink. However, Pearl still had work to do tomorrow, so she could not accompany them. She took a pile of gifts and drove the emerald sports car that Hubert had given him, heading back to the Rose Garden.

In the end. Pearl could not bear to throw away the five–colored porcelain bottle and brought it home

Her grandfather had once taught her, “When you encounter something valuable, you can’t let it go no matter what Wasting treasures is inviting Gods retribution.”

By the time she reached home, the rain had abated and was pattering down.

Pearl was a line tired. She changed her clothes and was about to remove her makeup when she took out her silent phone to take a look. There were many messages and missed calls. Most of them were birthday wishes.

Many of them were sent by members of the Males family,

Phoenix, Caleb Males, and Amanda all sent her birthday wishes. They were concerned about her health and asked about her work and family. It was the same as in previous years, yet there was also something different in their messages.

Nevertheless, Pearl still felt a sense of warmth from their wishes.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized that she had been able to survive such a loveless marriage in the past three years because of the Males family and others who cared about her, providing her with some warmth.

After some thought, Pearl replied to their messages,

After replying to Caleb, she received a video call

Pearl was stunned for a moment. As she answered the call, Caleb’s handsonse face appeared on the screen. “Pearl happy birthday!”

Thank you, Caleb, I received your birthday wishes”

Chapter 162

As soon as Pearl finished speaking, she heard Caleb sing, and the screen shifted to reveal a large group of family sitting on the sofa, guarding the cake, and singing a happy birthday song for her..

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday to you… Pearl, happy birthday!”

Pearl held the phone and froze.
