Chapter 364

Felicia was stunned.

She looked at the emerald pendant in Haylan’s hand in disbelief.

After all, he had sold the emerald pendant to Mrs. Labenz and Harry just now.

Therefore, she could not help but wonder why there was another one in front of her.

Meanwhile, judging from its luster and quality, this piece of pendant seemed to be slightly better than

the earlier one.

Haylan chuckled, placing the pendant in her hand, then smiled and said. “The one I gave them was

fake. This one is the real deal. Mom, this is a gift 1 prepared for you. Don’t keep it in the safe, cy? It’s

best to wear it. Now that they have the fake one, people know that the emerald pendant has been sold,

so you can wear this one openly. You know, just keep it hidden underneath your clothes, okay?”

The mother took the pendant and immediately recognized its familiar touch, knowing that this one was

genuine.

She carefully wore the emerald pendant and then suddenly remembered something. With a different

expression, she asked. “Haylan, this is really outrageous of you. How could you sell fake goods to your

grandmother?”

He smiled and said, “Mom, calm down. How could I possibly sell fake goods? The one I gave them is

also a genuine gemstone, worth approximately around six million dollars. In other words, they haven’t

lost anything.”

He knew Mrs. Labenz and Harry’s intentions, so before he went upstairs for the first time, he had

carved a similar pendant using some existing gemstones in order to deceive the duo.

At first, he thought of not joining the array and tricking them harshly,

However, he softened in the end. He added some array to ensure the emerald pendant’s value was a

bit higher.

After all, family mattered most. No matter how bad his grandmother and uncle were or how badly they

had treated them, he could not trick them too much.

Otherwise, her mother would be saddened.

While he could disregard his grandmother and uncle’s feelings, he simply could not ignore his mother’s.

“But

you

sold it to them for 10 million dollars.”

“Heh, Mom, you’re still too naive. Do you really think they will wire the remaining 20 million?”

“If that was the case, then why did they write you the JOU?”

“Well, mainly to keep me in check.”

He picked up the IOU, smiled coldly, and said. “If my prediction is correct, they will leave the country

with the gem today. Once they immigrate abroad, this IOC will mean nothing to them.”

“Haylan, how can you think so poorly of your grandmother and uncle? They’re not like that,” she said.

“They’re that kind of people, to begin with. If you don’t believe me, give them a call. I guarantee they

will hang up and turn their backs on you.”

He replied calmly and indifferently, “As their nephew, I only swindled them out of 800 thousand dollars.

I left the rest of their money unharmed. Consider this sum of money as compensation for the years they

bullied you!”

As he spoke, he took out his phone and quickly transferred the 6.8 million dollars he had just received

into his mother’s

account.

After receiving the money, her expression changed again. “The money is still here. You didn’t invest in

stocks just now?”

“Of course! I was just fooling them. I won’t lose anything if I really want to invest in stocks, he

explained.

Looking at him, her gaze changed again.

She now finally understood.

He had been deceiving Mrs. Labenz and Harry all along. Everything he did was to gain their trust and

make them lower their guard.

This way, he could sell the emerald pendant and make a hefty sum of money from the duo.

Realizing this, her expression changed, and she quickly took out her phone to call Mrs. Labenz and

Harry. “Mom, that emerald pendant…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Labenz had already spoken, “Felicia, listen carefully, we had

a legitimate transaction for that emerald pendant, and it’s already concluded. You can’t take it back!

Also, we’re leaving the country this afternoon, and it’s better if you don’t contact us in the future. It’s

best if we never have any contact for the rest of our lives. That’s it!”

The old woman’s words were cold, ruthless, and utterly indifferent. As soon as she finished, she hung

up the phone.

“Well…”

Felicia held her phone, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Haylan was right, indeed!

Mrs. Labenz and Harry did turn their backs on her as soon as they had got the etherald pendant.

“Mom, are you convinced now? Grandma and Harry never saw you as family. You know, they even

wish you were dead, Once they found out you had a treasure, they would do anything to snatch it

away, Haylani said.

She stood still, her expression changing constantly, her eyes turning red as tears welled up.

Eventually, big droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks, falling to the ground.

At first, she thought her mother and brother had a change of heart, that they truly realized their

mistakes, coming to recognize her as family and treating her well.

But the reality was like a bucket of cold water, chilling her to the bones.

He did not say anything either. He just stayed by his mother’s side in silence.

After all, it would take time for one to accept the abandonment and betrayal by one’s own mother.

On the highway, Harry drove the Mercedes-Benz at high speed, heading quickly towards the Labenz

family in Fickery City.

“Good stuff, it’s really good stuff. We’ve hit the jackpot, Mrs. Labenz sat in the back seat, holding the

emerald pendant, reluctant to let go while brimming with joy.

She thought to herself. “This is indeed a treasure. Just touching it makes me feel exceptionally

comfortable. I feel refreshed. all over!”

Harry was also extremely excited. ‘Mom, why don’t we invite the treasure appraisal master over to hold

an auction? Before we leave the country, let’s make a fortune first!”

Mrs. Labenz caressed the emerald pendant, and upon hearing her son’s words, she immediately

looked up and gave lum a stern look. “Are you dumb? If we openly sell it, once Haylan and Felicia find

out, they’ll cause trouble and demand a share of the money. Besides, they still have the IOU

“What are we going to do, Mom? I don’t want to repay this debt.”

“Take this with us, leave the country immediately, and then we’ll have it appraised and auctioned off

abroad. That way, all the money will be ours, and we won’t have to give them anything back.”

As she spoke, it seemed as if she could already see her future life of luxury and extravagance, her

eyes filled with longing.

“Yes, right. Mom, I’m going to change the plane ticket now. Let’s not wait until this afternoon, okay?

We’ll leave immediately. The son was overjoyed.

He slammed his foot down on the accelerator, making the Mercedes-Benz go faster, racing toward

Fickery City.

On the way, they also contarted their families in Fickery City to help them pack.

When they arrived in the city and got their belongings, they immediately rushed to the airport, taking

the earliest plane available and going straight to Whileal Kingdom.

“Good life, here I come!”

“Whileal Kingdom, here we come!”

The duo sat on the plane and looked at their surroundings with anticipation in their eyes.

It was especially so for Mrs. Labenz, who tied the emerald pendant to her wrist, kissing it repeatedly

with much excitement. Knowing that the pendant was worth 200 million dollars, she was certain that the

value would be even higher once it was auctioned in the Whileal Kingdom.

Most importantly, they would make a name for themselves so long as they could hold an auction there.

As long as they establish themselves firmly, they will surely prosper in the Whileal Kingdom.

She caressed the emerald pendant, her admiration growing, and wickedly thought to herself, “Felicia, I

never expected you to give me such a big surprise before I leave the country. You truly are my good

daughter! Also, with your son’s gambling addiction, it would be best if your family goes bankrupt soon.

That way, we can live an even better life.”
