Chapter 350 The Perfect Emerald
“Find the owner of the store and show him one of them. He will buy it once he sees it.”
Rebekah said firmly.
“Is Mr. Shell your friend?”
Rebekah shook her head, “He’s Henry’s friend. I didn’t meet him many times before. I wore these bracelets at the wedding. He saw it and asked me to have a look. He joked that I could sell it to him whenever I don’t want it.”
Rebekah’s voice was full of sorrow.
She had never thought that there was really such a day coming.
Hayden couldn’t decline, so he took the bracelets. It was urgent to get money, so Hayden had to go to Nanking at night.
Rebekah told her that Zed needed the money to be put in a specific place in one week. Three days had passed, so she couldn’t waste any time.
It was morning when Hayden got to Nanking.
Hayden rummaged in her room, and found a safe out of the hovel. She took a deep breath as if she had tried to make up her mind. Then she typed the passwords and opened it.
The sound of opening the safe was clear in the silent morning.
There were some cash and estate certificates, and one necklace.
Hayden took the necklace and looked at it. The emerald necklace shined brightly in the sunlight. The diamonds on it were big and clear. It looked more valuable than the bracelets Rebekah had given her. It
was also the only keepsake that she used to find Joseph.
Hayden held it tightly in her hand.
She wanted to tell Joseph about this before the wedding, but now she had to use it to do other things.
Nanking Treasures And Antique was located at YH Road. It was surrounded by some ancient-style buildings. The store used to be the biggest pawnshop of the province, and now it became an antique shop.
“Ms. Downey, please wait here. I’ve taken a photo of your treasure and sent it to my boss. The boss said he’ll be here soon.”
“OK.”
Hayden nodded and sat there.
Not so long later, a man with white hair on his sideburns came in. He was in his fifties, and wore a black long gown and black old-style cloth shoes. He was like from ancient times. The man came in with a smile.
“Are you Ms. Downey? Hello. May I ask what the relationship is between you and the owner of the bracelets?” Mr. Shell sat down fast and asked Hayden.
Hayden answered calmly, “She’s my fiance’s mother.”
Mr. Shell was stunned. He looked at Hayden up and down, “You’re the fiancee of the young master of the Beckham family?”
Hayden was amazed by Mr. Shell’s reaction. Almost everyone in this city knew the relationship between Hayden and the Beckham family. Besides, there were always news about her, so even most
ordinary people knew about her.
“Sorry.” Mr. Shell seemed to find Hayden’s thought. He smiled gently.
“I liked meditating alone, so I don’t live in the city. I know little about the news here. Time passes so fast. Even the young master of the Beckham family will get married soon.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
The old rich guys liked to live in the countryside. They wanted to refresh their body polluted by money in the natural air. However, few of them could really refresh their dirty minds.
Hayden knew this, but she had to nod, because she was now asking Mr. Shell for help.
“I knew this bracelet before. Now it’s worth more than before. What price do you want to ask for? Just tell me.”
“Oh, Mr. Shell, sorry. I’m not here to sell the bracelets.”
Hayden observed Mr. Shell’s face when she spoke, “I know a distingue person like you wouldn’t have agreed to meet me if I didn’t show you the bracelets, but I’m not selling it here.”
As she thought, Mr. Shell’s face turned sullen.
“I want to sell another treasure.”
Hayden took out the box containing the necklace and put it on the table, “Please have a look and tell me how much it is.”
As soon as Mr. Shell moved his eyes on it, he couldn’t move it away anymore.
“It’s the perfect emerald of the best quality.”
Hayden just had a drink quietly. She didn’t know much about the jade, but to get information and find Noah, she had asked many jewelry stores these years. It was specially designed, so no one could evaluate its price, but the diamonds on it made it valuable.
The middle of it was also the perfect emerald jade, and four of the eight diamonds were rare pink diamonds. It would be valuable if someone wanted to buy one of them.
“What price do you want?”
“Twenty million.”
Hayden looked at Mr. Shell, “How about that?”
Mr. Shell was surprised, “The price you want is...”
“It’s too low, right?”
The necklace combined with so many valuable diamonds should be worth much more than twenty million. Hayden also didn’t look like someone who had no knowledge about jade. Mr. Shell felt confused, but he didn’t know how he should ask. However, Hayden said this first.
“Yes, it’s too low.” Mr. Shell nodded, “What do you mean?”
“I know this shop was a pawnshop before, so I want to ask you if I can impawn this necklace here, for twenty million, one year.”
Mr. Shell looked at Hayden, and became calm again, “What if you can’t buy it back after one year?”
“So according to the rule, it will be yours.”
Hayden smiled and said this.
After a long time, Mr. Shell gave Hayden his answer, “Deal.”
It was the only idea Hayden could come up with. Hayden didn’t want to lose such a meaningful necklace, but she had no other way. Besides, Joseph couldn’t understand her when he was young, so now it was one more chance for him to understand her thoughts.
Of course, she would buy it back. It was actually not her treasure. She also had a plan B if she had no enough money after one year. She could sell the villa to get money.
It was noon in ST Group, and Joseph just finished a meeting.
“Mr. Beckham, there is no more problem of the team building for the acquisition case. The project can be started after the year holiday.”
Joseph was watching the documents on the chair. However, he had stared at the same document for a long time.
“Mr. Beckham?”
All of a sudden, Joseph stood up and said, “Go to the military hospital.”
