Chapter 692
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
It had been a long time since the proposal ended, and everyone had yet to recover from the shock.
The netizens were discussing it endlessly.
This was an absolutely unparalleled rich man.
He was crazy rich.
He doted on her too much.
Even Sharon, who had always looked down on Kelly and Ian, did not come back to her senses for a long time.
Last night, Kelly did not open all the boxes. She only opened three to five of them. The jewelry inside was all worth a lot. Every piece was on par with the Red Sun Star.
The Red Sun Star was a famous piece of jewelry, and it was the most precious gift Louis had given her.
Itâs surprising that Kelly had so many of them.
Sharon instantly felt a little embarrassed. Thinking back to how arrogant she was previously, she felt like she had slapped herself in the face.
She lay on the bed, looking a little depressed.
Louis was not around when the proposal happened. Instead, he went to deal with company matters.
He was very busy, extremely busy. Making time for variety shows with Sharon was already difficult, it was impossible for him to waste time accompanying her in his free time.
Louis had an allânight video conference last night. He had not slept the entire night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked as he massaged the space between his eyebrows.
Sharon looked at the blood vessels in Louisâs eyes and felt sorry for him. However, when she thought of lanâs imposing manner last night, she still told him what happened last night.
Louisâs expression was indifferent. He was not moved by Sharonâs words at all. When she finished speaking, he asked directly, âHave you ever thought that those⦠are all fakes?â
What? A fake?
Sharon was stunned.
Louis sighed. âSilly girl, do you think those few pieces of jewelry are cabbages? According to what you said, there are dozens of jewelry that are worth more than the Red Sun Star. If I canât even take them out, how could lan?â
It was not that Louis really could not afford it, but at his age, he usually did not inherit the family business. It was impossible for the jewelry passed down in the family to be handed over to him.
âBeing able to take out so many things, other than the people from the big aristocratic families, itâs impossible for anyone else.â Louisâs expression was cold and his tone was firm. âI basically know everyone around my age from the big aristocratic families, and Iâve never seen this Ian before!â
âYou mean, those are fake?â Sharon grabbed Louisâs sleeve nervously.
Louis tapped her forehead and found it funny. âWhat do you think? My grandfather and my parents have a lot of expensive jewelry, but those are all in the vault. They are all numbered. How can they give them away casually?â
Sharon nodded. She understood this point.
Although the Phil family had money and status, they had strict control over their finances. They basically did not allow their descendants to waste it. Every month, Louis had a fixed allowance. If he wanted to wear expensive jewelry, he had to borrow it from his family and return it later.
âI really didnât expect it to be fake!â Sharonâs heart was pounding. She really wanted to tell the world about this.
With a single glance, Louis could guess Sharonâs thoughts. He sighed and reminded her, âDonât get involved in other peopleâs business. Without concrete evidence, people will think youâre spreading rumors.â
âBesidesâ¦â Louisâs tone was contemptuous. âStop focusing your attention on such a people. Look at Ian. He follows Kelly all day long and doesnât even have a proper job. Heâs probably just the offspring of some newly wealthy family involved in demolitions.
âThereâs no need to look at a person of his level.â
Sharon nodded, indicating that she understood.
However, she rolled her eyes and hugged Louisâs arm. âLast night, lan gave Kelly a pink diamond earring. Itâs said to have a very long history. Itâs called Ayilianâs tears.â
âI just checked, it was a gift for the princess consort when the King of YL held his wedding in 1832. Itâs very precious. Such valuable jewelry must be hidden in the hands of some collector.â
âLouis, can you help me find out where it is?â
When Louis heard this, he knew that Sharon had no intention of giving up on competing with Kelly.
Although it was a little embarrassing, she was his woman after all. Louis was willing to indulge her.
He frowned and thought for a moment. He felt that this name was familiar. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, âI remember now. âAyilianâs tearsâ is in the possession of the Walter family abroad.â
âThe Walter family?â Sharon was surprised.
Louis explained, âMy auntâs son, Ian Walter, is now the head of the Walter family. Although Iâve never seen him before, this Ian is very scheming. He took over the Walter family at a young age.â
âIan Walter?â Sharon read it once and realized a point. âThat personâs name is Ian Walter. Itâs very similar to the name Ian.â
Louis sneered. âThe difference is like heaven and earth. Donât mention this in the future. Itâs too insulting to Ian Walter.â
Sharon nodded.
She kissed Louis on the cheek and said considerately, âYou havenât slept all night. Have a good rest. Iâll go out for a while and not disturb you.â
With that, Sharon left happily. She wanted to spread the news and thoroughly embarrass Kelly.
Kelly was still sitting on the bed, admiring her jewelry. After she came back last night, she opened all the boxes. Every piece of jewelry inside was so beautiful that it made her cry.
They were so big, so dazzling, and so enchanting.
As a result, she found lan much more pleasing to her, No one could resist the charm of jewelry, especially since these jewelry pieces were crafted by renowned artisans.
Kelly touched the beautiful jewelry and looked at lan with watery eyes. âIan, are these all for me?â
âOf course.â Ian nodded. How could he take back something he had given away?
âBut there are so many.â She counted carefully, and there were 48 of them.
âHow many?â Ian frowned and said casually, âOnly a few dozen, not even a hundred pieces.â
Kelly was really too simple, too beautiful, and too easily contented.
Kelly was stunned.
He was so rich and domineering.
If it werenât for her familyâs eccentricity, she would want to cling to this wealthy figure forever.
After admiring the jewelry, Kelly quickly put everything away and asked Ian to find a safe place to store them.
Ian was puzzled. âWhy did you put them away? Arenât jewelry supposed to be worn?â
Kelly shook her head vigorously. âNo, no. Any one of them here is worth tens of millions. Itâs too extravagant.â
Was she crazy to wear such expensive things so casually?
Ian opened a box, took out a pink diamond earring, and put it on Kelly carefully. âNo matter how expensive it is, itâs just a piece of jewelry. Wear it if you like it.â
Ian paused.
He did not know what Kelly liked before, and Kelly rarely showed her preferences in front of him. Now that he knew she liked jewelry, he had to prepare well.
Hence, he said, âIn a while, Iâll get Cyril to go to South Africa to buy a diamond mine and use it all to make a necklace for you. Then, Iâll go to South Asia to buy a few colored gemstone mines and jade mines.
âBy the way, do you like jade?/Should I buy some more jade mines?â lan asked so seriously.
Kelly covered her face and/was about to scream.
He was too doting and domineering.
