Chapter 136
The Heiress Strikes Back
136 Treasure Contest
May wanted to find a hole to hide in on the spot. How could there be such an embarrassing thing? There is actually a traitor in our family, and we even lost face in front of the Harris family.
She turned her head to look at Sharon. I didnât expect it to be discovered by this woman.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt as she sat there in dejection.
âI didnât expect Sharon to be so capable! We underestimated her before.â
âHow could she not have any ability when she has married into the Harris family? We really didnât know what she was capable of, so weâre talking nonsense here. In my opinion, Wallace really married the right person!â
âI have to admit that this Sharon is really beautiful. She should be the most beautiful person in the Harris family.â
Hearing the praise from the surrounding people, June felt a little better. My daughter-in-law has finally come in handy.
âSorry, Iâm late. Iâve been busy at home lately. I thought it was Nicoleâs birthday, so I hurried over. Did I miss anything?â Under the servantâs referral, Crystal actually walked in with a big box in her hands. âThis is my present to my sister. I hope she will always be so carefree-itâs also an antique. I hope she likes it.â
As soon as Crystal entered, she attracted the attention of a large group of people. They didnât expect Crystal to act as if nothing had happened when the York Groupâs business in New York was in dire straits.
âOh my god! Sister Crystal, is this really for me?â Nicole exclaimed, âThis is an antique European folding fan from more than a hundred years ago! I only mentioned it once, and you remembered. This kind of fan produced in 1840 is worth a lot!â
âHaha, itâs good that you like it. It didnât cost much.â Although Crystal said that, she still felt a little heartache.
The handle of the fan was made of cow bone, and there were exquisite carvings on it. On the fan was a stone slate-colored seal of a Greek fairy theme!
âItâs good that you like it. Whether itâs for collection or display, this thing is very beautiful.â
Nicole affectionately took Crystal over to her side. Crystal didnât expect the former to directly say something before she could accept the joy. âSharon, you see that!? What did Crystal give me, and what did you give me?â
âNicole, donât be ridiculous!â Wallace said in a low voice. Sharon has just bought a car and doesnât have any money left. This girl wants Sharon to take out the gift she has prepared at this time because she wants to embarrass her. Moreover, I didnât prepare any antiques as a gift in advance because I ran too quickly.
âHmph, I think she doesnât treat them as family at all. She exists like our opponent!â The surrounding people were looking forward to a big battle soon, and they were also looking forward to Sharon bringing out a better gift.
Everyone present looked at Sharon, not knowing what gift she could bring out.
Ever since Crystal entered, she realized that Wallaceâs attitude toward her seemed to be even more perfunctory.
Although he had been in the business world for more than ten years, Wallace still looked like a big boy. Although he was only wearing a simple coat, his gold-rimmed glasses made him look like a noble.
âItâs just some worthless toys. If Nicole likes it, Iâm willing to share it with everyone.â
Wallace watched his wife walk past him with a sense of wisdom. He had a feeling that he had mistaken her for someone else.
As she spoke, Sharon took out the thing she had asked Tommy for. âThis is a 1940 customized, gold-plated light relief birdsong box. The music is leisurely green. Happy birthday, Nicole.â
This music box was rare, delicate, and luxurious. Tommy had to spend a lot of effort to take it back.
Nicole stretched out her hand as if she were taking it, but when she touched a corner of the music box... Nobody expected her to throw it forcefully.
âYou think you have the money to buy this thing? I think youâre joking.â Nicole raised her chin and gazed at Sharon. âThere are so many people here today, so I wonât say anything to you! However, you have to know that I wonât let you off easily!â
Sharonâs heart ached a little. Why doesnât Nicole know anything about ancient artifacts? The music box Iâve brought is a professionally custom-made core, and the family that created this has inherited a meticulous and professional attitude for the past hundred years.
âPlease give me face, Fred, Paulâ Sharon brought the item to the two of them. âI donât care if everyone appreciates it-true gold isnât afraid of fire! This thing has a gorgeous gilded outer shell, and its entire body is covered in delicate flower and bird patterns.â
