Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 168

Clifford was immediately angered. He pointed at Darryl. "Darryl, shut up! You don't know anything!” What nonsense are you talking about!? What makes you think it’s worth only two million bucks?"

'Damn it, this man was crazy,’ Clifford thought.

Clifford’s uncle bought the jade pendants, and his uncle has been collecting antiques for decades! The actual price of these jade pendants were three million bucks. He only pretended that it cost five million bucks just to show off.

However, Darryl said that it was only worth two million bucks, which Clifford thought was total bullsh* t!

Darryl shook his head. "There’s another name for this kind of paired jade pendants. Do you know what it’s called?"

Everyone was curious and shook their heads.

Darryl sighed and explained, "They were called Gemini Pendants in ancient times. It was a unique dowry a woman could give for marriage during the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was very much concerned with etiquette, so the Gemini Pendants were highly adored. After the woman brings the jade pendants to her husband's house, one piece will be given to the husband, and the other piece the woman

will wear. Also, their names would be engraved on each other's pendant to symbolize a harmonious union lasting a hundred years."

Darryl picked up the two jade pendants and took a closer look at them. "So, the real Gemini Pendants of the Ming Dynasty would have engravings on them, and this... unfortunately, does not. They're fake." 1

Darryl's voice was soft, but everyone in the hall could hear it!

Everyone was stunned.

Darryl’s explanation behind the Gemini Pendants made sense, and it was even more detailed than what those antique appraisers had said.

As everyone sighed internally, they came back to their senses, and doubts arose in their minds.

'Could it be that the pair of Gemini Pendants were fake?’ they thought.

"As expected, there's no engraving,” Dax said, frowning, as he inspected the jade pendants that he took from Darryl's hand.

The surrounding people immediately gathered around to take a look. Lily also went closer.

As expected, there were no traces of any engraving at all on the pair of jade pendants except for those delicate carvings.

Clifford's face flushed as his eyes flickered. He could not accept what just happened.

"What does the absence of the engraving prove? You said it yourself, this kind of Gemini Pendant is a dowry from a married woman. What if the owner of this pair of jade pendants died before she got married? How would she get it engraved without a husband?" he sneered, pointing at Darryl.

Darryl was very impressed with Clifford's wit.
