Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 206

However, everyone in the room was utterly shocked. Especially lan, who trembled when he asked, "Old Mrs. Graham, did you give the jade bracelet that has been passed down in the family to President Cunningham?"

Leanna gasped in astonishment as well. "Old Mrs. Graham, are you serious? Did you really give it to her?"

Old Mrs. Graham nodded. "Of course! She's my only daughter. Who else should I give it to?"

Everyone looked at each other whereas Leanna looked at Sasha and advised earnestly, "Sasha, Old Mrs. Graham really doted on you. You mustn't ever let her down."

If Old Mr. Graham hadn't used that jade bracelet as a guarantor for me to make a comeback, I'm afraid that I would've left the world!"

Clank! The spoon fell onto the floor from Helen's hand.

"What happened?" Everyone looked at her. Helen stayed stunned and speechless while James looked frightened.

Leanna asked, "Is there something wrong? Do you need help?"

James came back to his senses and waved his hand repeatedly. "N-Nothing's wrong. She just accidentally dropped her cutlery. Er... President Lambert, d-did you say that you owed over 200 million?" lan nodded. "Yes. My business failed that year.”

James asked again, "But it was more than 200 million. H-How was that jade bracelet used to help you with your debt?"

lan cast him a glance. "Mr. Cunningham, don't you know the worth of Old Mrs. Graham's jade bracelet? That's a treasure that the former Queen loved the most, which has been handed down from several dynasties.

It's a precious treasure in the palace. Ten years back, someone asked to buy it for 300 million but Old Mrs. Graham turned down the offer. Since then, it has been 10 years and I bet that the price of this jade bracelet has increased by 30%!"

This time, Helen dropped the bowl again that she had just picked up from the floor. She was totally flabbergasted. Even James was stunned on the spot too and he couldn't make a word out of his mouth. The jade bracelet that was worth over 300 million was sold by them at 28,000? They had truly got into a huge trouble this time.

At that moment, both of them couldn't help but have the urge of strangling themselves to death. Only now did they understand why that jade shop stopped its operations.

The only reason would be that the shop owner had fled! Anyone else would do the same too if they had bought a treasure worth over 300 million with just 28,000! If they had sold it off again, they would earn a fortune of a lifetime!

"Mr. Cunningham, are you okay? Why do both of you look so pale and why are you two sweating so heavily? The temperature of the room seems fine. Should I lower the temperature of the air conditioner?" lar asked in perplexity.

However, James and Helen had completely lost their senses so they couldn't reply. Sasha understood the most what they were thinking about. This time, they had really gotten into an outrageous trouble. In fact, Sasha was shocked as well.

She had never expected that the jade bracelet Old Mrs. Graham gave her was worth a king's ransom. Before this, she thought that it was just Old Mrs. Graham's heirloom, which had profound meanings but wouldn't cost much.

Only now did she know that Old Mrs. Graham had assigned her such great honor! Most importantly, she failed to keep the valuable item safe and was sold by her parents.

Overwhelmed with guilt, Sasha mustered all her courage and said softly, "Old Mrs. Graham, I'm sorry but this jade bracelet-"

Sasha planned to reveal the truth but Matthew interrupted her confession, "The jade bracelet is at home. She didn't wear it here because it's priceless. In fact, she didn't dare to wear it anywhere." Everyone burst into laughter. Well, that was true. Who would dare to wear a jade bracelet-one that was worth over 300 million-and wandered about in the streets?

Bewildered, Sasha looked at Matthew. What was the point of telling lies in this situation?
