Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 53

“I’m fine.” Jude took a handkerchief out and wiped his tears. “Carrie, I’m very happy with this gift. Let me reward you. Tell me, is there

anything you want?”

Just as Caroline was about to say something, Brie interrupted her. In a displeased tone, Brie said. “But Mr. Morrison Senior, this is only worth one million dollars…”

Jude’s face fell at once. “Brie, you can’t measure the value of a gift by its price! Although this painting is no match for the perfume bottle in terms of price, to me, it’s the most precious gift. Only upstarts will measure gifts by their prices!”

Hearing that, Brie became hot under the collar. The guests around them began to laugh at her too. Just as she turned around to leave, she almost bumped into a staff member who’d rushed over.

Stunned, Caroline looked at the staff member carefully. She hadn’t prepared any second gifts.

“Oh? Quick, show it to me.” Jude laughed. “Carrie, how many surprises are you planning to give me today?”

Before Caroline could say anything, another staff member arrived with a wooden box.

The box was delicately crafted with complex patterns, and its surface was polished to perfection. Clearly, it wasn’t something cheap. The staff member put the box on the table and slowly opened it.

Everyone there, including Caroline, held their breaths.

The moment the box was opened, a beautiful piece of antique ceramic vase came into view.

The banquet hall was filled with individuals who were knowledgeable about antiques. As soon as they caught sight of the ceramic, they couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.

Those well–versed in antique collections knew that these ceramics had been made for the royal family centuries ago and were rare to

come across.

Considering how old it was, encountering such a treasure was a rarity, let alone having the opportunity to own it as a collectible.

Everyone looked at Caroline in shock. This wasn’t just a matter of money; only those with strong connections could have the chance of acquiring it.

As expected of the daughter of the Evans family. Although they had fallen from grace, their power was still impressive.

It took a while for Jude to come to his senses. “Carrie, how did you get this?”

That was what she wanted to know, too. At first, she’d suspected that someone wanted to set her up with an additional gift. Little did she expect it to be such a priceless treasure!

Eddy stared at the vase, his eyes narrowing.

He’d come here with Kirk. When Kirk had written his signature in the guest book earlier, he’d also written that his gift was two ceramic wares–a vase and a wash basin.

The antique vase here was one of those two ceramic wares.
