Chapter 201
Aurora’s face turned red, and she coquettishly said, “Godmother, what are you saying?”
Marshall furrowed his brows and pushed Aurora’s hand away. ” Mom, you shouldn’t make these jokes on
a whim. Aurora is much younger than I am. She’s like a sister to me.”
Aurora interrupted hastily. “I’m not your biological sister…”
“Aurora!” Dahlia yelled out. “Go help support your grandmother.”
Aurora initially did not want to let her hand go, but she saw Dahlia’s heavy expression and could only let
go and leave with gritted teeth.
When Aurora had left, Dahlia sighed, “She just can’t grow up.”
A few times, Stella had met the pretty woman, which was also Marshall’s mother. Although she was
slightly plump, she still was very elegant. Her features also showed that she was quite beautiful when
she was younger.
Marshall’s mother and Dahlia had an excellent relationship with each other. Otherwise, she would not
have accepted Aurora as her godchild.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was apparent that both of them wanted to make this marriage come true, but Marshall seemed
unwilling.
Dahlia could clearly see it and naturally would not want her daughter to seem cheap by being so
unrestrained. Hence, when Marshall said those words, she directed Aurora to the side. Although Keegan
and Aurora were her children, Stella always felt that Dahlia would put more thoughtful consideration into
Aurora. Meanwhile, Keegan and Dahlia, despite being mother and son, were slightly ceremonious and
estranged.
“They’re still young, and they’re just kids. There is no need for such harsh demands,”
Marshall’s mother gently replied. She then looked at Keegan, and her gaze softened. “I envy you for
having both a son and a daughter.”
Dahlia replied, “What’s the use of having both a son and daughter? When it comes to their marriages,
none of them will listen to me.”
Marshall’s mother heard the hidden meaning behind her words, as Dahlia was never satisfied with her
current daughter-in-law. However, Marshall’s mother did not continue the conversation since it was the
family affairs of others. It was not up to an outsider like her to give an opinion. She could only smile and
say, “The kids have their own destiny and happiness to grab hold of; there is no need to be so
controlling.”
Stella lowered her gaze and was used to the subtle ridicule from Dahlia. As both of them were chatting,
Mrs. White arrived late while being escorted by the other madams. Mrs. White was Marshall’s aunt,
Irene, and the organizer of this private jewelry exhibition. Irene wore a white gown, and her whole body
was bejeweled. No one knew whether it was due to her having a younger husband. Hence, she looked
much more youthful than the other madams of the same
age.
She held hands with a young man who looked like he was in his thirties. He was tall and slim with very
nice-looking features. However, he seemed slightly feminine, which made him look odd. That man should
be Irene’s husband.
“My sister-in-law, Mrs. Kane, why are you all standing here? Aren’t you going to see if something suits
your fancy?” Irene asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDahlia replied, “We’re all waiting for the grand finale you were talking about. When does it show?”
‘Grand finale? The Luminous Pearl isn’t even the grand finale?’ Stella thought.
Irene chuckled. “Is there even a rare item that you, Mrs. Kane, haven’t seen before?”
“I haven’t seen the jade blessed by the Venerable Raphael Morghen yet,” Dahlia replied. Stella, too, had
yet to meet the Venerable Raphael Morghen, but she had heard numerous rumors about him. Most of
them were about how accurate his predictions and foresight were, as well as how powerful he was.
Aside from that, the Venerable Raphael Morghen had his own temperament. It was said that he always
stayed in his abode and was rarely seen. Regardless of how powerful or wealthy a person was, he would
only see to guests once it was time for him to leave his dwelling. Hence, forget about blessing a jade.
Even if one wanted their fortune to be told, one must wait in line.
Although he acted that way, the Temple of Abawo was always busy. The incense in the temples would
always burn, thankfully due to the contributions of the wealthy madams. That was why when the
madams heard that the jade was blessed by the Venerable Raphael Morghen, they were naturally
interested in it.
Irene said as she laughed, “It was blessed by the Venerable Raphael Morghen, but the jade doesn’t
belong to me. It belongs to one of my friends. The Venerable Raphael Morghen said that my friend’s
aura would not be able to handle such a spiritual jade. Forcefully wearing it would ruin her destiny, so
she gave it to me to sell it.”
