Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 593: Seriously, Mr. Pace, Do You Have the Nerve?

Rachel looked so wronged that nobody would believe she was alright. Boris followed Rachel's gaze to Tina. "Is she stealing your thunder again? Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you soon. No one can bully you while I'm here," Boris said coldly. Soon after, nearly all the guests had arrived. Jack, holding Kiki and Mimi, made some formal remarks before beginning the gift-giving segment.

Sophia, on behalf of the Farrell family, presented two longevity locks, which were quite special. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these were antiques bought at a high price over a decade ago, supposedly a gift from ancient twin princesses. Everyone was impressed; the Farrell family always had a unique touch.

Tina waited until almost everyone had finished their presentations before stepping forward. "Happy birthday, Kiki and Mimi." Upon opening the gift box, two exquisite pendants sparkled, making Kiki and Mimi's eyes light up instantly. Indeed, no matter the age, women couldn't control themselves in front of jewelry. "Thank you, Tina."

"I really love it!" Tina ruffled the two kids' hair. These pendants, along with the shoes Natalie had given earlier, would ensure Kiki and Mimi stayed healthy for at least three years.

Everyone was admiring Tina's generous gift, as such pendants were nowhere to be found on the market. Then, a snicker came from the crowd, "I was wondering what kind of gift Miss Reed would bring, just a pair of pendants, how uninspired. I heard Grandpa Brookes once gave you a 'Heart of Hope'; you could've easily picked something from your warehouse without much effort, but instead, you deceive children."

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice-it was Boris. The Brookes family members looked downcast, and the Farrells were hardly pleased. Publicly mocking their daughter-in-law was something the Farrells couldn't tolerate! Tina, holding Jared's arm, stepped forward. "I wonder what you have brought, Mr. Pace? It might be enlightening for this master of deception." Boris snorted and presented his gift, an old wooden box. Opening it, a burst of colorful light nearly blinded the attendees.

Everyone gasped upon closer inspection. It was a multicolored glaze stone! Such stones were rare, seen once in a hundred years, and could be made into any piece of jewelry or art, priceless and irreplaceable. And this was not something money could buy. The last time it had surfaced was five years ago, shown by a mysterious collector-who turned out to be Boris.

When it comes to the world's top aristocrats, the Pace family was unparalleled. To casually gift such precious multicolored glaze stones was extraordinary-two of them, no less! Marie, a collector herself, was dazzled by the sight of the glaze stones, though she despised Boris and muttered, "Showing off, what for? My son will have some too one day."
