James was truly interested in the Burial Jade.
Since Zoe brought up the topic, James expressed his interest in the jade pendant.
As for the Targwyns' ancestral land, James knew the Targwyns were renowned in the past. The family’s predecessors once made up the greatest clan in a certain period of history.
Thus, the Targwyns' ancestral land was undoubtedly an extraordinary location.
This piqued his interest and James was intrigued to see it.
Zoe briefly hesitated after James stated his refusal to marry Laelia.
The jade pendant was their family heirloom, and they refused to hand it over even at the cost of their entire city, so it was impossible to simply hand it over to James.
Although James did indeed save their family, Zoe was unwilling to give it to James as a simple gift of gratitude.
He would only bequeath it to James in the form of a dowry.
“Mr. Caden, the jade pendant has been handed down by our family’s ancestors and is a very sentimental item to our family. We can only offer it to you in the form of a dowry. Please forgive me.”
Zoe was upfront with his reservations.
James would have to marry Laelia if he wanted the jade pendant.
Disappointed, James said, “If that’s the case, then forget it.”
There was also a look of disappointment on Laelia's face.
She was in favor of marrying James but did not want to force the issue since he already had a wife.
Sitting at the head of the table, Zoe called out, “Laelia.”
Laelia nodded and replied, “Yes, Father?”
Zoe ordered, “Since Mr. Caden is interested in our family’s ancestral land, you should take him there tomorrow.”
“Understood.” Laelia nodded.
“Alright. Everyone’s dismissed.”
