Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1047

The appraiser took out the tools and then began to carefully check the necklace in a calm and relaxed manner.

Kyla watched at the side. She saw that the appraiser examined the disintegrating slag from left to right with a magnifying glass and a light lamp. He seemed to have no conclusion at all.

Kyla sneered in her heart, thinking that the result of the appraisal would be that the price of the necklace definitely did not exceed 100 dollars. By that time, she would be able to take back the remaining money and buy the limited-edition lipstick that she preferred.

Most of the onlookers had the same idea as her. During the waiting process, they were all discussing with each other.

"In my opinion, that necklace is really worthless. I have seen the similar ones on the street stalls!"

"Yeah, it can't be worth more than 200 dollars!"

"Anthea's friend is really stupid. He thinks himself smart and called an appraiser here. Anthea should just have taken 1,000 dollars just now! Now she would suffer a double loss!"

Listening to the comments around, Kyla confirmed what she was thinking, so she shouted arrogantly, "Hey! Have you finished appraising? I'm hungry and want to eat something! Everyone knows what kind of thing the necklace is. It's just a piece of trash. It isn't worth 1,000 dollars, even if it's not broken before!"

"Yeah, it's not worth 1,000 dollars at all."

At this time, the appraiser put down the tools and then said word by word, "This small pendant is worth 100,000 dollars!"

"What?" Kyla asked sharply.

100,000 dollars!

There was an uproar all around. Who would have thought that a small jade pendant would be so expensive!

The appraiser patiently explained, "Although the necklace has been smashed, I can still see the color and purity of it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the authoritative institution to get an appraisal. This pendant is indeed worth 100,000 dollars!"

Kyla collapsed to the ground.

At dusk, in the girls' dormitory.

It was Saturday and the students didn't need to study at night, so every room was very lively.

Alexandria's roommates were comforting her.

"Alexandria, don't be upset! You can take this money without any qualms!"

"Yeah! No one expected that your necklace would be so valuable. Kyla refused to apologize and smashed it, so she should compensate you. You didn't gain extra advantage or blackmail her. There is the authoritative appraisal!"

Alexandria nodded. "Okay."

After comforting her, Anthea climbed back to her bed.

In fact, she also didn't know this necklace was so expensive, until Leonardo informed her. She had showed him the pictures of the necklace and asked if it could be repaired before. Anthea didn't lie down to rest, but held her cell phone all the time.

When the number was dialed, she subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen on the right. In the afternoon, she had already asked for leave and went to the hospital. When the line was connected, Anthea opened her mouth and swallowed back all the words she had prepared.

Because it was not the deep, powerful male voice, but the mechanical female voice of the system.

Adam's phone was switched off.

Anthea hung up and dialed again, but the result was still the same.

After thinking for a while, she edited a text message and sent it over.

"Uncle, I've taken out the stitches, and the wound has healed."

"Are you busy?"

She didn't receive any reply until the lights went out in the dormitory that night.

Time passed very quickly. After the Labor Day, the weather gradually began to heat up.

The window was half open and the fresh air came in. There was still a long time before self-study in the evening. Anthea stayed alone in the dormitory and was lying on the bed in a daze. She raised her finger and tapped on the phone screen again and again. Finally, she tapped on the name "Adam" and made a call.

She counted silently in her heart.

It had been almost a month since Adam returned to the army.

He had never contacted her in this period of time. Every time she called him, his phone was turned off, and the text messages she had sent to him were in vain; he didn't text her back. Anthea didn't want to give up and dialed his number again. There was no exception. It was still the voice prompt. She sighed sadly and buried her face in the pillow.

Suddenly, the dormitory door was pushed open and Holly came in with a hot water bottle in her arms. "Anthea, someone upstairs wants to see you!"

"Who is it?" Anthea couldn't help asking.

"A man!" Holly said in an ambiguous tone deliberately.

"A man?" Anthea was stunned for a moment, and then her pupils grew slightly bigger, and her eyes were shining.

Holly put the bottle of hot water on the table in front of the window, turned around and was about to tell Anthea that she was just kidding with her, and the man was actually an old man, who should be her grandfather. But there was already no trace of Anthea in the bed at all.

Anthea ran all the way down from the third floor.

When she reached the first floor, she deliberately slowed down her pace and ran out of the dormitory after breathing gently.

After going out, she saw a black car, the window of which was half opened. Master Hsu was giving her a kind smile and waving to let her get on the car.

Anthea's heartbeat suddenly slowed down as she became dispirited.

"Grandpa."

She opened the car door and got in. When she noticed Jayden sitting in the front passenger seat, she whispered, "Uncle Jayden."

For the sake of Master's face, Jayden only glanced at her from the rearview mirror. That was his response to her, and then he continued to make a call. Master Hsu saw Anthea gently pursing the corners of her mouth and raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong, Anthea? Are you unhappy to see me?"

"No, how could it be!" Anthea shook her head against her own conscience.

She had thought that it was Adam coming to see her.

She revealed a faint smile and asked, "Grandpa, why are you in the school?"

"I happened to pass by, so I came to see you! You little girl, how long haven't you come to my house to see me?" Master Hsu smiled and handed Anthea a bag. "This is a bag of cakes, which is to girls' liking. Take it! You can share them with your roommates." "Thank you, grandpa!" Anthea took the bag with both hands and said sweetly.

She put the bag on her leg and felt it was heavy. She knew that her grandfather was very concerned about her and often bought some food for her.

Master Hsu touched her head and frowned with distress. "Anthea, you've lost weight. Is the food in the school canteen not delicious?" "No, it's delicious!" Anthea smiled and shook her head.

Master Hsu said directly, "When you come back home. I'll ask the chef to cook a few dishes that you love!"

Jayden, who had just hung up the phone, was obviously impatient and urged, "Dad, I have to send two important emails when we get home!"

"Okay." Master Hsu nodded and kindly told Anthea, "Call me if you need anything! Remember to come home. I really miss you! Take good care of yourself!" "Okay!" Anthea answered obediently.

Holding the cakes that her grandfather bought for her, she pushed the door open and got out.

When she turned around, Anthea heard the conversation coming out from inside the car. Jayden said to Master Hsu, "Dad, mom said that she wants to pay respects to my sister at her tomb again tomorrow!" "Wait for two more days. I ran into my in-laws last week and they said that Adam would come back home two days later!"

"Adam is coming back?"

"Yes, it should be this Sunday. He'll come to see us then."

As the black car drove away, their conversation gradually became inaudible.

Anthea stopped in her tracks.

Recalling the several keywords she had just heard, she couldn't help holding the bag in her arms tightly.
