A Warm Marriage After Rebirth

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Who is the Goddess (3)

The obedient ones did nothing but squander money and spend their days in leisure; the disobedient ones constantly stirred up trouble, forcing their families to clean up their messes! If they only offended ordinary people, it was manageable—a little money could solve it!

But if they happened to provoke a powerful figure they couldn’t afford to offend, a single misstep could lead to utter disaster! They could single-handedly destroy the empire their parents’ generation had worked so hard to build!

How many could be like Seraphina Sterling, thinking so deeply and so far ahead! If their own children could be like Seraphina Sterling, knowing what they ought to do, they would truly wake up from their dreams with a smile. Listening to Seraphina Sterling’s words, these people couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy toward Walter Sterling for having such an obedient and sensible granddaughter!

Seraphina Sterling’s speech had instantly won the affection of everyone present; one could say she had completely decimated Faye Sterling! Faye Sterling simply couldn’t compare to Seraphina Sterling; the two were on completely different levels! In the eyes of these people, Faye Sterling was, at best, a junior of similar age to their own children. Seraphina Sterling, however, was already in their minds an heiress who was planning for the future and thinking about the family business!

The difference between the two was like heaven and earth!

”Seraphina Sterling! It’s not your place to lecture me. You think you can change the subject just by spouting a bunch of nonsense? The great Miss Sterling of the Sterling Family, and you give two pieces of junk like this for someone’s birthday? You’ve got some nerve! Do you think we’re all ignorant and tasteless? That you can just pull out any old thing to fool us? It’s not even as expensive as my watch, let alone Faye’s diamond bracelet! You’re both a Miss Sterling, but the gap between your gifts is just too wide, isn’t it?”

Kellan Sutton was dead set against Seraphina Sterling today. He’d had a crush on Faye Sterling for a long time, but she had never given him the time of day. Now that Faye Sterling finally had a use for him, he was naturally doing his utmost, putting on his best performance in an effort to make his goddess see him in a new light!

”Those who don’t know what they’re looking at can step aside. Go cool off somewhere!” Seraphina Sterling didn’t want to waste her breath on him. ”I trust that with Mr. Chapman’s discerning eye, he should be able to see the true value of these earrings, right?”

From the very beginning, Justin Chapman had felt that these two porcelain fragments were no ordinary items. But he also faintly felt it was impossible. ’Who would be so extravagant as to use blue-and-white porcelain shards from the Early Dynasty to make earrings!’ Justin Chapman had already dismissed this idea, but after hearing what Seraphina Sterling just said, he couldn’t help but take a closer look.

But before he could open his mouth, someone else spoke up!

”This is Shunzhi-era blue-and-white porcelain, isn’t it? This luster, this glaze, this body! It’s definitely Shunzhi-era blue-and-white porcelain!” Felix Gallagher revealed the secret in a single sentence. ”Fiona, you might be the first person in Apex to wear antiques on your ears! This birthday gift is no small thing!”

Who was Felix Gallagher? He was the owner of Jade Pavilion. Jade Pavilion could be considered one of the most historic jade shops in Apex. As Apex continued to develop, Jade Pavilion’s business focus gradually shifted to fine jewelry! It could be called a titan of the domestic jewelry industry! With Felix Gallagher’s words, not only did Justin Chapman’s suspicions get confirmed, but many others were also drawn to come forward and admire the earrings.

It was the first time Fiona Chapman had ever been the focus of so many elders from her father’s generation. For a moment, she felt an immense sense of satisfaction. Coupled with the fact that she genuinely loved the unique earrings Seraphina Sterling had given her, she was even less inclined to say anything to disparage the gift!

Felix Gallagher’s heart ached just looking at them. He wondered what piece of porcelain Seraphina Sterling had broken these two shards from—shards that could so clearly identify the porcelain’s era. ’If only it had been a complete, intact piece of porcelain, how wonderful that would have been!’
