The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 493

After sending the children to the kindergarten, Evelyn hurried home; she grabbed the dragon pendant, carefully stowed it in her pocket, and headed out the door.

She remembered Hertha had previously taken circular pendant to a curios shop.

She had even asked Hertha for the name of the curios shop.

She hailed a cab and headed straight for the shop.

This was Evelyn's first time selling antiques, and she was unsure about the market value. So she decided to chitchat with the shop owner, Ford, to size things up.

Ford was a gentleman in his fifties with silver streaks in his hair. There was a cultured air and a hint of artistic charm around him.

He patiently engaged Evelyn in conversation.

Evelyn decided to get down to business with this decent fellow. She carefully pulled out the dragon pendant from her pocket, placed it on the table, and asked with a smile, "Sir, how much is this worth? I had it appraised by an expert, and it's not only genuine but an antique too!"

Ford looked at the dragon pendant on the table; it was emanating an aura of grandeur.

He sat upright with a straight face, and his eyes deepened.

He picked it up and studied it carefully, then asked with a serious tone, "Madam, could you tell me the provenance of this dragon pendant? How did you come to possess it?"

Evelyn was taken aback by his question. He would never think she had stolen it!

She defended herself nervously, "This belongs to my daughter; someone gave it to her. It's completely legitimate."

Ford nodded, "This is quite valuable, and the transaction would involve a significant amount of money. I need to consult our boss about whether to purchase it or not."

Hearing that the transaction would involve a significant amount of money, Evelyn felt a surge of joy.

She was about to strike it rich.

She eagerly agreed, "Yes, yes, go ahead. I'll wait here."
