Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband
Chapter 1289 - Chapter 1289 Chapter 1289 The Unique Necklace

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: The Unique Necklace Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: The Unique Necklace At Caleb Mamet’s command, Xaviera Evans left contentedly. The moment she left, an intense icy aura emanated from Mamet.

“Returned to the country a year ago?”

Steve Price could feel the chilling tone in his voice and quickly said, “CEO, I’ll check who that jewelry appraisal master is!”

Mamet gave a cold laugh: “Go ahead.”

Price patted his chest in assurance, “CEO, rest assured, I definitely won’t let him snatch your wife!”

Mamet: “…”

The banquet hall was still bustling at that moment.

Since the charity dinner was hosted by the Reiser family, Fiona Reiser naturally became the center of attention, with everyone congregating around her for conversation.

The Reiser family made no attempt to conceal their plans – they had previously informed everyone that they were going to showcase the ‘Combustion Heart’ during the event. Thus, most of the guests came to feast their eyes on the immensely valuable necklace. At first glance, everyone noticed the dazzling ruby necklace around Fiona’s neck.

In contrast, Evans sat quietly in a corner, observing Fiona amidst the crowd.

“My god! This necklace is too beautiful. No wonder it reached 120 million dollars at the last auction!”

“To be honest, only a generous noble lady like Miss Reiser deserves to wear such a valuable necklace. Even if anyone else were to wear it, they certainly wouldn’t carry it with as much grace and beauty as Miss Reiser.”

Fiona chuckled modestly, “Thank you all for the compliments. But I wore this necklace to the banquet today not to show off, but to donate it.”

Everyone widened their eyes in surprise, looking at Fiona in astonishment.

“Miss Reiser, you’re really willing to donate the Combustion Heart?”

Fiona smiled warmly: “What’s there to hesitate about? For many years, my father has devoted himself to charity work, and the purpose of this charity dinner is to fund the construction of schools in the mountains. It requires a hefty sum of money. As his daughter, of course I should support my father and contribute to building the school as much as possible. To me, this necklace is merely a precious ornament. Even if I don’t wear it, it won’t affect me in any way. However, for the children in the mountains, this might change their entire lives, even their whole village!”

“I feel incredibly honored to contribute to the development of the mountain area!”

Then, Fiona added with a hint of guilt, “In fact, compared to my father, what I do is a drop in the bucket. As you all know, my father hosts a charity dinner every year, preparing for it almost a month in advance. He often tells us that wealth is an external possession, but we should always maintain a heart of kindness.”

Evans: “…” These words sound very touching, but coming from Fiona, they just make one feel nauseous.

Perhaps because the Reiser family had indeed done many good deeds over the years, when Fiona voiced these words, the crowd did not find anything amiss. Instead, it elevated their respect for the Reisers even more.

Everyone admired Fiona greatly. After all, quite frankly, no girl would not like jewelry, especially an invaluable necklace like this one. To ask them to donate something so valuable, it was something they wouldn’t dare do.

“Miss Reiser, was the Combustion Heart that reached 120 million dollars four years ago purchased and gifted by your father?”

Fiona did not hesitate to nod, “Yes.”

That 120 million dollar bid was already a four-year-old matter. At that time, the mysterious buyer did not show up and directly took away the ‘Combustion Heart’. The Reisers found out that the mysterious buyer went abroad, and after that, there was no news of the Combustion Heart again.

The Reisers had searched for many years, probably assuming that the necklace was either overseas or lost in transit. It seemed unlikely to resurface, so the necklace she wore naturally became known as the ‘Combustion Heart’, with no one suspecting a thing.

“The auction will take place in an hour. I wonder who will get this Combustion Heart this time. If no one offers a suitable price here, it could be taken to the Imperial City auction house. The price there would definitely exceed 120 million dollars.”

“Of course, the 120 million dollars was the price four years ago. Given the collection value of the Combustion Heart, it should at least reach 150 million dollars today. Moreover, this necklace was a unique piece originally donated by Doctor Faces!”

“What? A unique piece?” Someone exclaimed, “So this means that this necklace is unique and the only one of its kind in the world? There won’t be another one with the same design?”

The design of the Combustion Heart was ingenious. Each gemstone was inset using a unique technique that ordinary craftsmen could not replicate. Even if it was possible to make another, they would not be able to afford the expensive gemstones.
