Inside the box laid a glamorous necklace.
The rubies on the necklace were as big as pigeon eggs. The necklace was dazzling and beautiful under the light. In comparison to this, the diamonds on the dress given by Jimmy were just like sands. Anyone with a pair of eyes would have figured out which gift was more valuable.
However... 1
"One ruby of this size would have cost a few million? Doesn't that make this necklace at least twenty million?
"From him? Such a valuable gift from him? Impossible!"
"Exactly, I think it's a fake."
The surrounding people were criticizing while Jimmy's mind went blank. Others might not be able to tell, but Jimmy worked in the jewellery industry, he could tell from just one look. The rubies laying in front of him, with their surface gloss and clarity of texture, were as real as rubies could get, or worse, the quality seemed to be better than all the rubies he had seen in his life.
Was he not a useless son-in-law? How..did he afford such an expensive gift?
Finally, Samantha snapped back to reality, she looked at Darryl confusingly, "How much did you spend on this?"
Samantha had countless pieces of jewellery but never had she seen such big rubies. Thus she was not sure if these were real or fake.
"A friend of mine gave it to me," Darryl answered looking at her.
Hearing this, Samantha had mixed feelings. 'Given to him by a friend of his? Can't be real then! What a useless piece of trash, how well off can his friends be?' Samantha thought, as she was about to toss the gift into the bin next to her.
"Let me have a look.”
One of her friends' daughters walked over, who had two years of professional knowledge on gems verification. Therefore, when she spoke up, everyone held their breath.
"This...this is real, and every ruby is of the highest quality.” The woman said after holding the necklace under the light, she exclaimed, "the design is in the style of European Royalty, I'd conservatively estimate this to be around thirty million, and if it was actually owned by the Royalty, it would be priceless."
With that said, the woman looked at Darryl with a look of wonder.
