Hearing this. Justin finally felt slightly relieved. However, he still thought Shirley was making a risky move. He could tell that Shirley's real intention was to win Sam's favor.
Her ambition was beyond the 150 million dollars. She aimed to become the daughter-in-law of the Xenos family. Justin had his doubts about whether Shirley could achieve it. But in the end, she managed to repair relations. suddenly, Samn
up the box from the table and opened it. Inside was a pink translucent pendant.
The pendant was intricately carved, featuring various complex patterns, almost like some kind of totem. There were even some legends about this pendant, linked to a treasure from a hundred years ago. However, Sam never took those legends seriously. Whether they were true or not, he wasn't interested in finding those treasures. The Xenos family was already the wealthiest family in this country.
Besides, neither he nor his wife ever considered money to be very important. In life, spending time with their loved ones. and spending each day gratefully were what truly mattered.
Sam gently stroked the pendant. He planned to give this pendant to his youngest daughter back then. Sadly, his daughter died shortly after she was born.
As Sam stroked the pendant, he suddenly frowned. His expression changed dramatically. Suddenly, he slammed the box heavily on the table.
Sam said, "Mr. Jones, if you refused to return the pendant to me, I wouldn't complain about it. After all, I already gave it her. But you didn't have to give me a fake pendant, a pendant so poorly made. Do you think I'm a fool?" Justin
immediately stiffened. Tonight, his heart had been repeatedly shocked, making it hard for him to breathe. For a moment, he was totally stunned.
Justin said, "Mr. Xenos, what are you talking about? How could possibly be a fake?"
Sam said with a serious look, "This is the Xenos family's heirloom. It had been around me since I was a child. How could I not tell the difference between the real one and a fake?"
In fact, the fake pendant wasn't poorly crafted. At first glance, Sam didn't even notice it was fake. But the real pendant was made from a special kind of pink sphene, cool and smooth while the fake one didn't feel the same.

Keith quickly stepped forward to check the pendant. He was quite knowledgeable about this kind of staff. After looking at for a while, he tossed it onto the table. "If you really want to fake it, try harder. How could you use glass? This is a worthless stone.
The expressions on the other people's faces were very interesting. Selena already had a hunch that things tonight wouldn't go as Shirley and Justin's plan. But she didn't expect Shirley to make so many ridiculous mistakes.
Shirley was also stunned. She took the pendant from Keith and said, "Glass? How could be glass? This is the pendant that you gave me. Mr. Xenos, please take another good look at it."
Sam looked at Shirley now with an obvious hint of disgust. Justin suddenly exploded with anger pent up from the beginning of this evening.
He didn't care about his dignity anymore. He stepped forward and slapped Shirley across the face. "Shirley, tell me now! What's going on?"
Meanwhile, Hector and Harvey had already walked through the small gate connecting the two yards and reached Naomi's place. As soon as they entered it, they saw dazzling lights and heard loud music. 10:34 Thu, Nov 14 G

Many people were singing and dancing around the pool. Tables covered with champagne towers and various snacks and desserts were everywhere. Guys and girls mingled with giggles. It was a huge party. Harvey sighed. "How could this place even be noisier than a bart
Hector immediately spotted Naomi in the crowd. Naomi was still dressed like a carefree playboy, wearing a deep blue silk shirt, a white tuxedo jacket, and floral print shorts.
His outfit made him look like a rogue getup. Everything about Naomi indeed made her look like a rogue even when she was not wearing these kinds of clothes, especially her hair.
Yet, her face was too delicate, her skin too fair, her figure too slender. So her choice of outfit didn't look bad at all; instead, it showcased a unique style that was just hers.
Hector thought. This guy will even look good even if she is wrapped in a sack
Hector nudged his way through the crowd, heading straight to Naomi. Naomi was standing next to Cynthia. Each of them was holding a glass of champagne. They sipped at their drinks while chatting with each other. Naomi asked, "Where's your husband? Didn't he say he'd come here with you?"
Cynthia said, "He went back to Betrico.
Naomi frowned, "Is it because of my cousin, Nina?"
Cynthia didn't reply to her. Naomi made a guess. She already heard about Nina's accident where she lost a leg,
Naomi sighed, "You're really very tolerant. Everyone in Betrico new Mr. Bennett loved Nina a lot. How can you just let that slide?"
Cynthia said, "If the rumors were real, do you think I could put up with it?"
Naomi shrugged and nodded. "It makes sense."
Cynthia checked the time. Jonathan had called her earlier. He bearded the flight back two hours ago.
So he should be arriving soon. The party was almost over. Cynthia thought it would probably be over by the time he arrived there.
Cynthia didn't ask Jonathan how he handled it nor did she inquire about what happened to Nina. She believed that Jonathan could take care of iL
Cynthia said, "Naomi, I need to ask you to do me a favor."
Hector walked up I thought you had guests!"
to Naomi, surprising her greatly. Naomi said, Wow! Why are you
Hector said, "Something happened tonight and my mom is having a very bad allergic reaction. Is your family doctor here? If so, could you please ask him to come to my place and take a look at her?" Naomi quickly said, "Of course. I'll go find him"
Naomi quickly turned around and went inside. Hector shifted his gaze to Cynthia and said, "Your adoptive parents and Shirley are at my home right now. Do you know that?"
Cynthia looked momentarily surprised. "No, I don't."
Hector said, "My mom had an allergic reaction after using the Laron Floral Essence that Shirley gave her. Shirley said you made it.

Cynthia thought about it for a second and then realized what it was about. "She must have stolen it from my studio. I haven't been to that studio in three years. The spices must be expired. They must have gone bad." Hector already guessed that. At that moment, Naomi walked out, dragging George, the family doctor, out.
Naomi said. "Let's go. Don't delay a single moment. George is an expert in skin conditions"
Knowing it was about an allergy, George brought along his medical kit. Once he determined the type of allergy, he could treat it immediately. Hector was about to leave when Naomi said, "Why don't we go with them to check it out?"
