The Amazing son in law Chapter 1194

Could Master Wade truly believe he was on the same level as him? What grounds did he have for such a thought?

As these thoughts raced through his mind, he felt little inclination to continue the conversation with Charlie. Turning his attention to Isaac, he smiled and remarked, “Mr. Cameron, I didn’t expect to see you here today. I had intended to visit Shangri-La tomorrow.”

Isaac responded with a light tone, “Master Kilgore, you’re being too formal. May I ask what brings you to Aurous Hill?”

The third young master of the Kilgore family glanced at Jasmine and replied, “My sister and Miss Jasmine were classmates during their time abroad. I came to Aurous Hill to discuss a potential partnership with the Moore family. Initially, I planned to arrive in two days, but I learned that today is Miss Jasmine’s birthday, so I decided to come early.”

He then retrieved an exquisite gift box from his pocket. Opening it revealed a stunning ruby necklace, gleaming brightly. He presented it to Jasmine, saying, “Miss Jasmine, I personally chose this necklace for you. It features a natural ruby sourced from Africa.”

Everyone gathered around to admire the beautiful necklace, which showcased a crystal-clear ruby roughly the size of an egg.

A collective gasp escaped the lips of the onlookers, as they recognized the immense value of the ruby. Get full chapters from find·novel·net

Seeing their astonishment, the Kilgore family’s third young master grinned with satisfaction and continued, “Miss Jasmine, you should know that rubies are the most precious of all gemstones. A one-carat ruby can fetch tens of thousands of dollars on the international market. This particular stone is twenty-six carats and has been polished and set by the finest jeweler at Tiffany’s. The value of this necklace exceeds twenty million dollars. I truly hope you like it, Miss Jasmine.”

The crowd was envious, their eyes wide with disbelief at the thought of receiving such an extravagant birthday gift.

Despite the grandeur of the necklace, Jasmine appeared unfazed. She calmly responded, “Master Kilgore, this necklace is far too valuable. I cannot accept it.”

“Why not?” he replied with a smile. “It’s merely a necklace, a small gesture for the Kilgore family. I believe it perfectly suits your elegance, which is why I chose it for you. Please, don’t be too formal.”

Jasmine maintained a serious demeanor as she replied, “Master Kilgore, I appreciate your generosity. However, I shouldn’t be rewarded for nothing in return. Accepting such an extravagant gift from you wouldn’t be right. I am grateful for your intentions, but I truly cannot accept this necklace.”

The third young master’s expression darkened as he pressed, “Miss Jasmine, why are you being so formal? I’m here not just for your birthday, but also to discuss a deeper collaboration with the Moore family. How can we move forward if you remain so distant?”

Just then, Reuben interjected, “Jasmine, what are you doing? Master Kilgore is offering you such a generous gift—how can you overlook his good intentions? You should accept it!”

Reuben’s father, Theodore, chimed in, “Jasmine, think about how rare it is for someone to give you such a lavish birthday present. Only Master Kilgore would be so generous.”

However, Jasmine stood firm in her resolve, stating, “I understand Master Kilgore’s generosity and appreciate the wonderful gift. But I cannot accept something so expensive. Please forgive me for declining your gift; it’s not a reflection on you or the necklace.”

At that moment, Lord Moore joined the conversation, saying, “Master Kilgore, your gift is indeed extravagant. It’s only natural for Jasmine to feel uneasy accepting it. Please don’t take offense.”

The third young master of the Kilgore family frowned and questioned, “Lord Moore, are you and Miss Jasmine looking down on me or the Kilgore family?”
