Salute to the General novel Chapter 222

When Penny opened the box, they all gasped when they saw the dazzling pink diamond necklace. "It's gorgeous!"

Penny admired the exquisite necklace then looked at Nathan warily. "Nathan, I hope this pink diamond necklace is genuine. How much did it cost you?”

Both Benson and Leah also turned their eyes to Nathan. They too felt that it wasn't a good idea for him to spend too much on jewelry. It would still be acceptable if he spent slightly over ten thousand but anything higher than that would be overbearing.

Nathan chuckled. "The diamond is an imitation. It's not real so it's not worth anything. You can ask Kylie if you don't believe me. She went with me to buy it."

Kylie quickly affirmed Nathan's claims. "That's right! It's only an imitation. But it's not that cheap either. It still cost Nathan tens of thousands though."

Penny gladly accepted the necklace when she heard that it was only an inexpensive imitation. In fact, the more she looked at it the more she liked it.

She blushed slightly and said, "I don't care if it's real or fake. I love it as long as it's from Nathan."

Benson and Leah looked at each other and there were hints of mirth in their eyes.

They could see that their daughter and Nathan were becoming closer by the day.

Leah was curious. "If this necklace were real, how much would it actually cost?"

Penny couldn't stop admiring her gift, so she answered absent-mindedly. "I'm not sure. Probably over a hundred million."

"But I would be reluctant to accept it if Nathan actually spent that much on jewelry for me. I prefer something like this which is gorgeous and affordable."

Benson and Leah both inhaled sharply.

"Over a hundred million? That's absurd! No one can afford that!"

Kylie, who knew the truth and found it very difficult to hold it in. She was doing all she can to not blurt out that the necklace in Penny's hand was indeed worth over a hundred million.

Penny put the necklace back in the box and turned to Nathan. "Oh I nearly forgot. Grandpa called earlier."

"They're usually up to no good. What do they want now?" asked Nathan warily.
