Scarlett glanced at Secretary Emerson and opened the box to find a set of diamond jewelry.
In the past, Scarlett had received lots of precious gifts from people who wanted to raise money from Mornet Corporation, so she had seen many rare and unusual objects.
However, Scarlett was mysterious, and those people could not find out what she liked, and they gave her all kinds of treasures.
The fake vase at Libby's house had also been accidentally acquired by Scarlett.
After all, she had to deal with all sorts of merchants, and these antiques would come in handy one day.
After being reunited with the Tank family, she saw more antiques. When Kate was young, making money and collecting antiques were the only things she was interested in. The cottage next to the Tank family's villa was filled with Kate's collection.
Larry was a politician, and the Tank family had to keep a low profile. Scarlett, on the contrary, was a businesswoman and needed some treasures to keep up her appearance. Rowan had given her lots of those antiques last year.
Anyone with taste and sense could see that the jewelry in the box was unusual, not to mention Scarlett.
Seeing the carver on the diamond jewelry, she knew that this jewelry was age-old and valuable.
Secretary Emerson took a look at Scarlett and explained, "This is Ms. Wilson's mother's dowry. Ms. Wilson only took this set of jewelry when she went abroad. Before the Wilson family was down, Ms. Wilson's mother turned down an offer of more than $80 million for this jewelry, saying it was her dowry and she planned to give it to Ms. Wilson."
"Later, Bestro Corporation went bankrupt. Ms. Wilson's mother planned to sell it at a low price to raise money to help the company tide over the difficulties. But the company's debt was too large, and Mr. Wilson committed suicide before Ms.
Wilson's mother could sell it. When Ms. Wilson took her mother abroad, she brought nothing but this set of jewelry."
"Ms. Wilson, in her sober state, told me the other day that she knew you had no shortage of money or any of this jewelry. This little gift is a token of her appreciation, Ms. Reed. She really wanted you to like it."
How could Scarlett not like such a valuable gift?
Rose had planned to give it to Scarlett in person on the day she married Chris.
