Chapter 62

Kieran clapped his hands, and the butler stepped forward. “Grandma, this is a gift from the Getty family. Please accept it,” Kieran said. The butler of the Getty family presented a handcrafted sapphire pendant, meticulously carved and adorned with small diamonds. It dazzled under the light, catching everyone’s eye.

“Grandma, I hope you stay healthy, and may God bless you!” Kieran handed it over personally.

Lily was delighted: “What a wonderful gift!” she exclaimed. Sapphire was her favorite, so this gift truly touched her heart.

“This gemstone looks extraordinary!”

“But that rare saffron plant is the most valuable gift today!”

“That’s right, the saffron is the highlight of the evening! The Russell family is the real winner!” Esme twirled her hair, exuding pride. “This gemstone… is it really valuable?” she asked, her tone carrying a hint of disdain. She wasn’t interested in jewels and felt no one could outshine her saffron tonight.

Kieran glanced at her, feeling somewhat offended. Considering the Getty family’s status, would they give an unworthy gift? Esme’s words were a provocation to the Getty family. Elizabeth noticed Kieran’s expression and smiled faintly. “This necklace is the rare sapphire pendant everyone’s been talking about. Kieran only acquired it a few days ago.” Since it was rare, it must be valuable. In fact, the pendant was worth at least 1.2 million dollars.

“The Getty family really went all out,” Elizabeth said, smiling gently.

Kieran felt comforted. This was how someone with class talked. Previously, because Alexander didn’t like Elizabeth, he held some prejudice against her. But recently, he had been feeling a strange fondness for her.

Esme’s expression turned unpleasant. Elizabeth’s words made her look uneducated!

“Elizabeth, Kieran, you came at the right time! Mr. Russell has gifted me a rare saffron plant, the only one of its kind. Shall we take a look together?” Lily invited.

Kieran was surprised the Russell family managed to get that rare saffron plant. It seemed Esme had gone to great lengths to marry into the Tudor family!

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world,” Elizabeth smiled.

Everyone gathered around Esme. She once again felt the dazzling spotlight. She raised her chin and glanced at Elizabeth. With so many people here, she would maintain her persona and not make things difficult for Elizabeth. Otherwise, she would have made Elizabeth kneel and beg to see the saffron!

The packaging was unwrapped to the last layer. Everyone held their breath, faces full of anticipation. The rare saffron that had captivated the entire city was finally about to be revealed! Even Kieran was a bit excited! What did this rare saffron look like? Were its effects really as legendary as rumored?

The packaging was open, revealing the rare saffron plant, causing a gasp in the room.

“Is this the legendary rare saffron, the only one of its kind? Why do I feel like something’s off?” Elizabeth thought inwardly.
