Chapter 278 An Additional Gift

Corrine looked slightly confused. When had she prepared an additional gift for her aunt?

Soon after, the butler returned, holding a red box.

"What's this, Corrine?" Chelsea asked, eyeing the box that resembled a case for jewelry.

Corrine was at a loss for words, biting her lip in uncertainty, when Matias, who had just shown up, intervened. "Mrs. Ford, this sapphire necklace from Miss Holland dates back to 1960. It matches the blue diamond she recently acquired for you, completing the set."

The charm of fine jewelry was irresistible, and even Chelsea, used to luxury, looked amazed. "Is this the set from the Helos auction?"

Matias replied confidently, "Yes, it is."

Initially baffled by the surprise gift, Corrine's confusion cleared upon seeing Matias.

"This is incredibly generous, Corrine. There's no need for such extravagant gifts." Chelsea marveled at the jewelry, her eyes sparkling with joy.
