However, he was also clear that this was too valuable.
Roan took his eyes off the amethyst with difficulty and said to Stanford with a smile.
“Stanford, I appreciate your kindness but this amethyst is really too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
Stanford frowned slightly, “You don’t like it?”
Roan hurriedly shook his head, “I like it very much…”
“Then it is yours.”
Stanford’s words were decisive.
The words that Roan wanted to say were clogged in his throat at once. He did not know how to refuse.
He was really fond of this gift but it was too valuable.
Phoebe knew what was his father thinking and hurriedly said.
“Dad, just accept it at ease. This is a first-meeting gift for you from Mr. Fraser. It’s a form of kindness from him.”
Since she said this, Roan felt it would be embarrassing if he still refused.
Such a big gift indeed made him so jubilant that he was grinning from ear to ear.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the amethyst in front of him. He could not help but touch it with his hand.
“Top of the line, it’s really the top of the line.”
The people who were watching on the side looked envious.
Soft murmurs also resounded among the crowd.
“I’m really envious. I also want such a top-quality amethyst. I also wish to get acquainted with Mr. Fraser.”
“There is no such opportunity. Don’t you see it? Miss Jenkins said it was a first-meeting gift, who needs a first-meeting gift? It’s the future son-in-law, of course.”
“That makes sense! No wonder Miss Jenkins stays with Mr. Fraser all night tonight and is even his female companion. It turns out that they are a couple.”
When Kieran, who was standing in the crowd heard these discussions, his face darkened more and more as if it was covered with layers of ominous black clouds.
‘Stanford and Phoebe are a couple?’
‘What about him?’
‘The reason why he specifically came to attend Roan’s birthday party tonight was because of Phoebe. During this period, they contacted each other more often and were also getting closer and closer. It apparently represented that she had great chemistry with him.’
‘Tonight, Phoebe also agreed to come out with him and it clearly implies that she is intending to be his girlfriend’
‘He is almost about to win her heart. How come Stanford appears and intervenes all of a sudden?’
‘How can he stand a matter like letting a woman whom he is about to get slip through his fingers.’
‘Not to mention that it hasn’t been confirmed if Phoebe is really in a relationship with Stanford, even if this is true, he also wants to steal her from him.’
Kieran’s face darkened. He kept the gift that he had originally prepared and then took out a translucent blood-red jade pendant.
He walked forward while his lips curled into a courteous smile. He said.
“Mr. Jenkins, I’m Kieran Harris. I was invited by Phoebe to attend your birthday party to celebrate your birthday. This is the first time we meet so I’m giving you a piece of South Eshan Jade to express my kindness. May you stay healthy and live a long life.”
Kieran held the blood-red jade pendant in his palm and politely handed it to Roan.
When Roan saw it, he was also stunned and dumbfounded.
“South Eshan Jade?”
He subconsciously uttered with an unconcealed shock.
South Eshan Jade was a legendary thing.
Such a jade pendant could be said to be extremely rare in the world. The only one that was thumb-sized was now placed in the museum in London.
Furthermore, this jade pendant was not only rare and looked blood red and translucent, but it also had a great benefit.
That was, it had a constant temperature of heat.
It was like a natural warm stone that was warm at all times. Such a heat even had a therapeutic effect and could cure some of the terminal diseases that could not be cured with current medical science.
If one wore it all year, the body that was originally sick would gradually recover while a person with the normal body would be healthier and rarely get sick.
Therefore, the alias of this jade pendant was called Life Jade.
People around the world were crazy about the one in the museum but no one expected that Kieran actually had another one here.
And it was much bigger than the one in the museum and could even be carved in the shape of a jade pendant.
This was simply astonishing and captivating.
“Hell, the purple amethyst and South Eshan Jade that can be rarely seen once in a lifetime actually appear together on the same day.”
“And they’re all to be given as a gift to Mr. Jenkins! Gosh, it really makes me facepalm.”
People’s eyes widened so much that they nearly popped out. They were exceedingly envious and jealous.
They felt that they were not here to attend the birthday party tonight but were actually here to refresh their outlook on life and broaden their horizons.
Ernest who was standing on the side looked at the blood-red jade pendant. A complexity flashed in his eyes.
Kieran was very satisfied with the attitude of the people in the surroundings and Roan’s reaction. His lips curled into a triumphant smile.
His attitude, however, remained to be modest and courteous, “Mr. Jenkins, I heard Phoebe say that your body condition is not quite good recently, so I specifically bring you South Eshan Jade. If you wear it on your body, your body will become healthier and healthier.”
His words seemed to inadvertently draw closer the intimate relationship between him and Phoebe.
A matter like the health of one’s father was surely something that would only be told to someone close to him or her.
Whilst the people were envious and jealous, they could not help but be curious too. ‘What is the relationship between Kieran and Phoebe?’
When Roan looked at the jade pendant in front of him, he was a bit at a loss.
The luxurious gifts given to him tonight were a little too much. He was really amazed and awe-struck.
He hesitated, “This…”
Others kindly gave him a gift but it was too valuable. He could neither accept nor refuse to accept it.
Phoebe also knew this jade pendant was valuable. Subconsciously, she did not want to accept such a valuable gift from Kieran. Otherwise, it would be difficult to reject his request and the relationship could not be easily cut off in the future.
Somewhat not knowing what should she do, she looked at the man beside her.
Stanford’s expression was still with indifference. He nodded very slightly at Phoebe.
It meant that she should accept it.
Phoebe was truly a bit surprised. ‘Stanford tonight seems to be deliberately discouraging Kieran in all aspects. How come he will give Kieran the chance in a key session like giving gifts?’
She really could not figure out what was he thinking.
There were many doubts in Phoebe’s mind. She could not solve them and could only smile embarrassedly and said.
“Kieran, you’re really kind. I thank you for your kindness for my father.”
Kieran immediately gazed at Phoebe gently and his voice was with undisguised tenderness and affection.
“With our relationship, there is no need to say thank you.”
This simple sentence caused people to think about the meaning.
The eyes of people around who are looking at Kieran and Phoebe became even odder.
Also, more and more people were confused. ‘What is the relationship between these three people? Could it be a love triangle?’
‘These two men are chasing her?’
‘Or is she a two-timer?’
Roan also regained his presence of mind from the surprise. He keenly sensed the strange ambiguity in the air.
He also instantly understood.
Since Kieran gave him such a valuable gift the first time they met, it was clear that he had feelings for Phoebe and was chasing her.
If it was usual, Roan was certainly very happy to see such a handsome and heartfelt man chasing his daughter.
But now, Phoebe already had a boyfriend. Any man who chased her was very likely to fail and ended up getting nothing.
