Snare of Love -
Chapter 630 Diamond Crown
The car stopped at the roadside and three black luxury cars also came to a halt. There were seven or eight people getting out of the cars.
"What are they doing?" Tiana who stood behind Charles White looked at those people and asked.
Charles shook his head as he also had no idea who they were.
They carried some small and large boxes from the carriage and one of the boxes looked like the kind of metal lockbox that was used to load the valuable things.
Each of them carried one box towards the villa.
"Let's follow them in." Tiana said.
Charles also wanted to see what these people were doing, so he nodded and followed them into the front yard of the villa. The person at the front rang the doorbell.
Coral was the one who opened the door. Because of yesterday's news, Dolores Flores probably knew what Matthew Nelson went to do in the past few days, but he still didn't come back. She was worried about him, so she didn't sleep much at night and woke up early in the morning. She thought that he should be back, but he didn't return until noon. After she had eaten something, she felt sleepy and went upstairs to take a nap.
In the living room, Jayden Nelson and Andrew Nelson were playing chess while Theresa Gordon and Kevin were accompanying Amanda Nelson to play poker game.
The air conditioner was switched on and it made the house cool. Lucy was washing fruit in the kitchen as they would eat fruit half an hour after having lunch.
When the doorbell was rung, everyone unconsciously glanced at the door as they thought Matthew was back since he didn't return for a few days.
Coral also thought so. However, the person standing outside the door wasn't the one they expected when the door opened.
"Who are you?" Coral asked warily.
"We are from insurance company." The man who wore a black suit stood straight and looked handsome, with white gloves on his hands, "We were entrusted by Mr. Nelson to deliver the things here." "Insurance company?" Even though Coral was doubtful, she was familiar with the words 'Mr. Nelson'.
"We are LEO Corporation's staff," The other four people said.
Theresa reacted quickly as she immediately knew what these people were doing once she heard they were LEO Corporation's staff. Dolores told she was going to hold a wedding with Matthew, so there must be a lot of wedding supplies to be purchased.
Was her wedding gown being customized in LEO Corporation?
She put down the poker cards in her hand and patted Amanda, “Go upstairs and call your mommy to come down."
The little girl was obedient, she put down the playing cards and ran upstairs.
Theresa was afraid she would fall and instructed her to be slower.
There were a total of eight people and soon a dozen people came in, coupled with Charles and Tiana.
Luckily the place was big enough so it didn't look crowded.
"When do you come over?" Charles asked when he saw Kevin.
"It's Matthew wedding. How can I be absent?" he said.
Charles was suddenly enlightened and seemed to know what these people roughly did in an instant.
"How come you came over?" Kevin asked him.
Charles was out of his mind and he just recovered his wits when Tiana touched him with her hand. Then he tilted his head to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kevin looked at him with doubts and curiosity, and said, "I'm asking you, how come you came over here."
He said, "I accompany Tiana over here and we're going back to White City. She is here to bade farewell to Lo... Ms. Flores."
He was about to say 'Lola', but he promptly swallowed the word and changed it to 'Ms. Flores'.
Andrew also stopped playing chess with Jayden, then ran over and wanted to see what was packed in the box.
As Dolores was pulled by her daughter to come downstairs, she just saw so many people in the living room.
Amanda didn't notice Tiana before she went upstairs. When she came downstairs, she just saw her and shouted in surprise, "Tiana."
Dolores looked over and saw Charles and Tiana.
She greeted calmly, "You guys have come over."
Charles slightly tilted his head and watched her walking down stairs, holding her daughter's hand and holding the handrail of the stairs. She looked careful and her protruding stomach could be clearly seen as she wore a skirt.
Although she still looked drowsy, he could feel that she had a good time as her face was full of tenderness and happiness.
"We come over to say goodbye to you. We have planned to return to White City initially and just heard coincidentally that you're going to hold a wedding. I think it might be delayed. You'll hand me the invitation card, right?" he said with a smile.
"Will do, we're friends." She also smiled, then walked over and asked, "What are these?"
Theresa said, "Of course they're all for you."
"For me?" she was still a little unconvinced.
"Are you Dolores, Ms. Flores?" One of the people who carried the lockbox asked.
She nodded, "Yes, I'm."
"Open them all." They stood in a row and opened each of their boxes one by one.
They put them in front of her.
Then everyone was stunned.
Only Jayden was extremely calm.
Inside the lockbox, there was a glittered crown, which was placed in a black velvet.
Theresa pointed on it, "Are, are these diamonds on it?"
If it was all real, it would be too luxurious.
"Of course it's real. This is what I bought from an auction in Country Y more than twenty years ago."
"It's a royal crown, and in 1959, Farrah who was just twenty-one years old married with the prince, Charlie Windsor. It was created for the wedding ceremony and it took six months to make the crown. It weighted one thousand six hundred grams, with one thousand four hundred and sixty-nine diamonds and thirty-six precious stones on it. The largest diamond in front of the crown reached one hundred and fifty carats, making it luxurious and valuable.
In 1983, this crown was sold to the auction house in Country Y and was auctioned off in 1990s. At that time, it was taken by an anonymous person in China at a price of fourteen million four hundred thousand dollars. The news was even spread and many people were speculating who was that person.
Due to the secrecy, the outsiders didn't know exactly who had bought it, they just knew he was a local person. There was even a speculation, which the person was a female tycoon.
He had intended to give Victoria Forbis this crown as he bought it. Even though two of them were couple, he never confessed his love to her.
This was the biggest regret in his life.
He stored the crown in an insurance company abroad and he asked someone to send it back when he knew that Matthew was going to get married with Dolores.
Jayden also entrusted someone to replace out the necklace and earrings that were matched with this crown, but the other party wasn't willing to sell them. In the end the owner was persuaded in an unknown way to sell them.
"Tsk-tsk."
Theresa couldn't help but smacked her lips.
"I also like it." Amanda blinked her eyes as it was indeed shining.
Jayden stroked her head, "Ask your mommy to pass it on to you and wear it when you get married."
"Wow, so happy." She was full of excitement and wanted to grow up immediately, so she could put on this crown.
It was really beautiful.
The other box contained the necklace and earrings.
Inside the box of the LEO Corporation's staff, there were wedding dress and gowns.
As Matthew knew LEO Corporation was the place where Dolores grew up, he specially asked Mrs. William to design the wedding dress for her.
Mrs. William was certainly willing.
At that exhibition last time, he had seen the beauty of Chinese wedding dress and he was impressed, but he felt that Dolores was more suitable for the flawless white as red colour was too flashy. She owned a more sedate personality, thus white colour suited her more perfectly.
There were a total of four sets, including Matthew's suit, Dolores's wedding dress and two sets of gowns.
They were all specially tailored as she was pregnant now.
"More than thirty of our masters rushed out them together within this half month." LEO Corporation's staff said.
As they knew Dolores, they spoke more cordially.
"Mrs. William gives you a letter also."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
