Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 364: A Precious Gift

Aurora took the box handed to her with some suspicion. Instead of a check, could there actually be a bomb inside? Given that Joaquin was considered a villain among villains to Aurora, it was unlikely he had good intentions.

She carefully opened the box to find a brightly colored jade bracelet. A closer look at the bracelet revealed its rarity: predominantly green, it also blended yellow, red, purple, and a touch of white. Such multicolored jade was extremely precious!

Finding jade with two to three colors was already rare, let alone one with five colors. Moreover, the smooth and delicate texture of the jade, under the light, emitted a soft halo, making it look warm and gentle.

Aurora, usually skilled in designing with jewels and diamonds, knew enough about jade to recognize that such a bracelet would cause a stir in the collector's world, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

"What do you mean by this? If you're trying to get me to leave Julian with this bracelet, isn't that rather extravagant?"

Aurora was bewildered. The box contained not a bomb but a beautiful bracelet. What was he plotting?

The bracelet's value was increasing rapidly. For the wealthy, it was not just a price but a treasured collectible, not something one would part with lightly.
