Chapter 823

Fane praised Selena after hearing her theory on the ruby necklace. He looked forward to seeing

Selena's surprise when she would put on this necklace in a few days’ time.

"It's not hard to know of such things. They've used this necklace to publicize their shop for a very long

time. They also exhibited this necklace in other cities, so I believe that there were many people who

wanted to buy this necklace. All that traffic, yet they never sold the necklace!” Selena drank her wine as

she continued," Apart from that, they spent quite a lot of money on their advertisements, and these are

their costs. There's no way they would've sold it for just nine hundred million."

"Sigh! What a shame. The son-in-law who married into our family is a useless person. Had he been a

capable person, my daughter might be able to wear such a nice necklace!" Fiona sighed and glanced

at Fane.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Fane i s a very capable person. Such an extravagant necklace is

too expensive, and it has nothing to do with Fane's capability!" Ben immediately spoke on Fane's

behalf." Apart from that, I don't think that your son, me, can buy such a necklace even if I work for the

rest of my life!"

Fiona was shocked at this. Ben used to side with her and supported what she said, but h e had

changed sides and was siding with Fane.

Andrew, most of the time, also sided with Fane, and Fiona felt that the two were rather disappointing as

they were so easily bribed by Fane.

"I don't care. I only know that Fane promised that the birthday dinner will be a city-stirring one, and I

won’t be satisfied if the party doesn't meet my expectations. Hmph!" scoffed Fiona before she resumed

her dinner.

Early the next morning, Fane still looked relaxed and did not seem to do anything for the birthday party.

It made no sense to Fiona and Andrew. Fane told them that he was giving their daughter a city-stirring

birthday party, but they did not see Fane doing anything or even booking a hotel.

Since he had employed a dozen bodyguards, Fane no longer asked Dennis Howard to continue

protecting their family. Still, Fane did tell Dennis to be on alert at all times, that he would inform him

should any matter arise.

Jenny was also relieved from the chore of picking up and sending Kylie. She was in charge of

arranging the workers’ tasks and paying their salaries.

Nonetheless, Fane did not expect that Kylie and the bodyguards appointed to pick her u p would not

return even as it was late in the evening.

At that moment, an unknown number rang Fane's cellphone.

The corners of Fane's mouth slightly twitched, but he soon calmed himself down. "It's Blaze Mountain,

right?"
