Adina stared at the necklace in her hands. The crystal seemed to be shining with a brilliant light coming from within it. She could tell at first glance that it was a priceless family heirloom that was passed down through generations. 

The necklace was worth cities, and perhaps could not even be bought with money

Yet, her grandmother had given it to her just like that. 

Adina felt touched. “Thank you, Grandmother.” 

She put the necklace away. After a moment, she asked, “Grandmother, will the Daugherties come to tomorrow‘s banquet?”

Adina took Madam Xavier‘s hand and squeezed it tightly. She felt calm at that moment.
