Hill returned with a red sandalwood box and handed it to Christine. "Here's the box you wanted, Old Mrs. Yancey."
Christine pointed at Stacey and ordered, "Give it to Stacey, Hill."
"Right away, Old Mrs. Yancey." Hill approached Stacey and gave her the box. "Please accept it, Ms. Lennon."
"T-Thanks." Stacey took it from him and felt the weightiness of the box immediately.
"Open it, Stacey." Christine gave her a pleasant smile.
Stacey took a deep breath and opened the box.
In the box was a jade pendant carved out from premium red coral. Stacey was lost for words by just the sight of it.
She could tell that the amulet cost a fortune and did not dare to take it out. "O-Old Mrs. Yancey... T-This is too..."
Initially, she wanted to return the box to Christine, but Zoey's words flashed through her mind. Her refusal to disappoint Christine's kindness made her stutter.
At the same time, Christine knew exactly what Stacey was thinking.
