Chapter 1852: 445: Surprise

Eleanor Armstrong nodded and smiled, "Sophie’s right, it’s just an ordinary pearl necklace, a token of a child’s filial piety! And it really is quite pretty, so I’ve been wearing it all this time."

Eunice, accustomed to seeing fine things, spotted it in a glance—the sea pearl.

Pearls aren’t in the same league as sea pearls.

Eleanor’s necklace was definitely not just some ordinary pearl, and upon hearing it was a gift from Terrence Lentz, Eunice was even more surprised and asked, "Eleanor, could you take off the necklace and let me have a look at it?"

As a long-time friend of the Lentz couple, Eunice was well aware of Terrence’s situation.

He didn’t have a job.

He had no business acumen.

He had caused the company to lose nearly ten million in just two months at Lentz Corporation.

If she was not mistaken, this sea pearl was not only a piece from an auction but also a top-tier collector’s item. To buy it, one needed both money and power.

Could she have been wrong?

Was Eleanor’s necklace really just an ordinary pearl?

"Of course." Eleanor said as she took the necklace off her neck and handed it to Eunice.

Eunice took the necklace.

Standing under the crystal light, she scrutinized the pearl carefully, not missing any detail.

Sophie and Charlotte Young stood by, their faces full of disdain.

Seeing the look of expectation on Eleanor’s face, she couldn’t really think this broken pearl was a precious and luxurious sea pearl, could she?

It was simply wishful thinking.

A moment later, Eunice returned the necklace to Eleanor.

"Eunice, aren’t you going to look at it anymore?" Eleanor asked.

Eunice smiled and said, "I don’t need to look any further, it is a top-tier sea pearl. If I remember correctly, at the auction, many people were vying for this pearl! In the end, it sold for nearly three hundred million—a sky-high price!"

"Three hundred million!"

Charlotte exclaimed in shock.

Sophie’s face was also full of surprise.

Who would have thought, a good-for-nothing like Terrence’s shabby gift to Eleanor Armstrong, turned out to be a sea pearl worth three hundred million!

Not to mention Charlotte and Sophie.

Even Eleanor herself was stunned, nearly forgetting to breathe.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and looked at Eunice, then said, "Mrs. Tulio, maybe you should take another closer look?"

Eunice smiled and said, "No need to look any further, it is a sea pearl. Eleanor, if you don’t believe me, you can sell it to me. I’m willing to offer three hundred million."

Such sea pearls could be passed down for generations.

Not to mention three hundred million.

Even five hundred million would be worth it.

Sea pearls are different from regular pearls; while pearls can be cultured, all sea pearls are natural formations, and rarity increases value.

Especially the full and lustrous sea pearls.

The reason Eleanor’s sea pearl could fetch three hundred million was because of its excellent quality.

Hearing Eunice’s willingness to pay three hundred million for the sea pearl, Charlotte and Sophie were stunned again.

Could it be...

Was the sea pearl actually real?

Upon hearing this, Eleanor smiled and said, "Whether it’s a sea pearl or just a pearl, it’s the thoughtfulness of a child. I can’t sell it."

Eleanor truly liked the necklace Terrence Lentz had given her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been wearing it all the time.

At this moment, Eleanor was very curious.

If this was indeed a sea pearl, where did Terrence get the money?

Three hundred million was no small sum.

With this thought, Eleanor narrowed her eyes.

Eunice smiled and said, "I can understand that. If it were something my own Jenny had given me, I wouldn’t want to sell it either. It seems like Terrence has really grown up, and he’s become capable too!"

Otherwise, he wouldn’t just casually buy a sea pearl worth nearly three hundred million.

Capable?

What kind of ability could a good-for-nothing like Terrence Lentz possibly have?

Upon hearing this, the disdainful expressions on Charlotte and Sophie’s faces grew more pronounced.

But, both were very curious, where did Terrence acquire the sea pearl worth nearly three hundred million!

They had assumed that the sea pearl must be fake.

But seeing Eunice willing to purchase this sea pearl with a sky-high bid of three hundred million, they no longer had such doubts!

If the sea pearl was indeed fake, would Eunice offer such a high price to buy it?

Eunice was certainly no fool!

Eleanor smiled and said, "This child has always been very filial."

He was so much better than Bartley Lentz and Len Lentz!

Those two sons were too driven by self-interest.

Everything they did had an ulterior motive.

Terrence was different.

As they talked, they walked further inside, with Eleanor’s face displaying a faint smile.
