Chapter 597
Everyone's attention was captured by the sandalwood box when Timothy opened
it. Intrigued, Mia looked at it, and she was surprised once she saw what was
inside the box.
It was a diamond tiara. It was antique, yet the stunning array of diamonds still
glimmered under the light,
portraying an ethereal glow which rendered the nearby quests breathless.
Sharon almost toppled over when Timothy opened the box. She yearned for the
tiara, longing for the day
she would finally own it once Laura passed. Someone next to her steadied her
and asked, “Is this the
diamond tiara? I heard it belonged to a queen from the Victorian era, and the
Barrett family bidded it at an
auction to add it to their collection.”
As speechless as Sharon was, she was still seething. She was well aware of the
tiara’s history, and she
knew what was in it once she laid eyes on the box. Her blood boiled when she
realized Timothy was
going to give this to Mia. This was hers! How could he give it to someone else?
Mia was equally dumbfounded. This wasn't just any jewelry—this was antique,
treasured jewelry.
Overcome by jealousy, Shelly blurted, “Look at how flippant Timothy is, Grandma!
How could he just give
our family heirloom away to a stranger?”
Laura replied indifferently, “I gave him the tiara. He has the right to give it to
anyone he likes.”
Shelly was infuriated. “Grandma, you're so biased! We ladies clearly fancy
exquisite jewelry like this, yet you gave it to Timothy.” She had nothing despite
being a Barrett. Her father passed away, and she had
no one to rely on in the family.
Laura's gaze swept past her. “Did I treat you badly over the years?”
Shelly was fuming, but Harriette warned her. “Enough. Stop the nonsense.” She
deterred Shelly. preventing her from spluttering more nonsense in front of the
numerous guests. She was well aware that Laura played a significant role in
ensuring their comfort and well-being.
Their lavish lifestyle would come to an end if they offended Timothy. Also, Mia
was no longer an orphan. They couldn't afford to upset her either. She was the
daughter of the Lane family.
Mia too didn’t expect to receive a gift of this value. It exceeded her expectations.
Glancing up at Timothy.
she said, “This is too much. I can't accept it!”
