Chapter 687 Birthday Present (3)

The two boys had received very precious and valuable gifts. The moment the shares were presented, they immediately aroused the envy and admiration of everyone around them!

The Smith Corporation had a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. It was impossible for one to spend all the money that came from even just five percent of the company’s shares!

In that case, what was Ian going to give Cherry?

While everyone was thinking about it, they saw Ian turn to Cherry. In addition to also giving her the same amount of shares, he took out an exquisite box and opened it. Inside the box was a diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg.

Ian handed it to her. “This is the Heart of the Ocean. I got it at an auction a few years ago. I’m giving this to you today, Cherry. Do you like it?”

Cherry’s eyes lit up. “Yeah, I do, I do!”

Ian smiled with satisfaction.

The crowd was dumbfounded for an instant. Then, a huge uproar went through them.

That jewel was simply too rare. So many families had tried their darnedest to fight for it but little did they expect that it would end up in the hands of a five-year-old.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration. “I’m so envious of Cherry!”

As soon as they said that, someone sighed and remarked, “What a pity. There were originally two such diamonds, so that is just one of them. There’s another one just like it, but its whereabouts are unknown even now.”

“Having one is enough! It’s only because the Smiths have such a big business that they can win the jewel in the auction. Apart from the Hunts, who else is rich enough to do that?!”

While everyone was paying Cherry compliments, there were also some who didn’t agree with the way Mrs. Livingstone had lectured the child just now. They immediately said mockingly, “No matter how Cherry’s life was in the past, from the very day she returned to New York, she has been living in a nest of gold and silver! The girl still has a whole load of blessings ahead of her! Besides, Mr. Hunt is especially doting toward his daughter. She is most definitely the undisputed little princess of New York!”

The veiled insults made Mrs. Livingstone so angry that she immediately retorted, “Even so, it won’t get rid of the fact that she lived in poverty when she was younger! A child’s personality solidifies by the time they turn five!”

Some people also said with dissatisfaction, “You can’t say that she lived in poverty, right? I heard that their family is pretty well-to-do…”

Although the Smiths in California were not as wealthy as the Smiths in New York, they were still rather well-off. With an annual income of over five million dollars, how would they really be that poor?

Mrs. Livingstone pursed her lips. “Tsk, if they aren’t poor, then why don’t I see her relatives coming over to give her gifts?”
