Elora smiled and said, “Mom, if you like, I can give you one of the jewelry sets.

Alonzo bought me gold jewelry, which isn't that expensive.

Each set costs only tens of thousands of dollars, not nearly as valuable as the pieces you Own.” Mrs. Ormond’s jewelry was much more valuable, with some pieces worth over a million, and others even exceeding a hundred million.

He’s still young and doesn't fully understand its value.” “I cherish the jewelry Alonzo gave me,” Elora said with a fond smile.

She truly appreciated his gift.

“What Alonzo gave you represents his love and thoughtfulness.

I won't take that away from you,” Mrs. Ormond said warmly.

She was genuinely happy to see her children getting along so well.
