Cordelia said with a chortle, “Honey, Karine wanted to pick on me the last time. It’s thanks to Mr. Jones who recognizes this jade ring to be real and helped me exaggerate it that Karine didn’t get her way!”

“No problem at all.” Oliver smiled and sneaked glances at Marcus. “I’m an enthusiast of gemology. I spoke the truth. It’s not exaggerated at all. What Ms. Jenner has is really a rare gem!

“I was told that it’s a wedding ring?

“Heh, Mr. Grist.” Oliver looked at him meaningfully. “I wonder where you’ve gotten this beautiful jade. It’s been over a decade since I married my wife. I’d like to get one for her for our anniversary this year!”

Cordelia had wanted to blurt that it was her husband’s family heirloom but sensitively noticed that Marcus did not look quite right.

The guard and alertness he showed and the dark gleam in his eyes were like a wild animal’s unblinking caution before it was in danger.

There was also an inexplicable strangeness in Oliver’s gaze too…

Cordelia paused and smiled. “I bought this with my husband.”

Marcus was startled, not expecting her to catch on so fast.

“My husband said that he wanted to get me a piece of jewelry before we got married, so we shopped everywhere. We’ve been to all the big and small antique shops and jewelry boutiques, and we finally decided on this. The shop’s close to Green Pine Street. The owner’s an old lady. The things in her shop have quite the history.”
