Chapter 1413: 354: He's worth a fortune! What's his identity! _1 Chapter 1413: 354: He's worth a fortune! What's his identity! _1 Sawyer Thompson walked over, looking at the pearl necklace in Mary Perryne's hand with a slightly furrowed brow.
Although he was not particularly acquainted with women's jewelry, he could tell that the necklace in Perryne's hand was not just an ordinary pearl necklace.
Because an ordinary pearl necklace does not have such a luster.
Most importantly, Thompson felt an increasing sense of familiarity with it, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
“Let me see it.”
Mary Perryne handed the necklace to Sawyer Thompson.
Upon receiving the necklace, Thompson became even more certain of his suspicions.
This was definitely not any simple pearl necklace.
Normally, a pearl necklace is not this heavy.
This string of pearls alone should weigh at least two hundred and fifty grams.
Meanwhile, the majority of ordinary pearl necklaces weigh about one hundred grams.
Seeing that Thompson remained silent, Perryne continued to ask, “Old Thompson, what do you think?”
Sawyer Thompson narrowed his eyes, “I think these look like conch pearls.”
Upon hearing this, Mary Perryne immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, exactly! I thought the same–they look exactly like conch pearls!”
Conch pearls are a type of natural gem, also known as 'rare treasures'; currently, they cannot be artificially cultivated. Hence, all conch pearls are naturally formed, and only one conch pearl is produced per 50,000 conches on average, making its price higher than gold and diamonds. Currently, its market price has been driven up to 680,000 per carat.
Of course, this is the price of a scarce commodity.
Common people usually buy them one by one. Perryne had bought a three-carat one, and at the time of purchase, it cost 5.2 million.
If this entire necklace is made of conch pearls, how much would it cost?
With this thought, Mary Perryne's eyes narrowed.
Upon inspection, these pearls are at least three carats, if not more.
Sawyer Thompson continued, “Don't you own a conch pearl? Bring it over for comparison!”
“Okay.” Mary Perryne nodded and immediately took out her conch pearl from the jewelry box.
Upon comparison.
There was no difference.
Both were of the same fullness and alluring color. The pearls from the necklace that Terrence Lentz had given were even larger than the pearl she bought.
Mary Perryne looked at Sawyer Thompson, “Do you think these are really conch pearls?”
Sawyer Thompson narrowed his eyes, “I think they look a lot like it. Why don't we get them authenticated?”
Mary Perryne responded, “Regardless of what kind of pearls these are, they are a testament of Terrence's affection. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to have them authenticated?”
Upon hearing this, Thompson nodded, “That's true.”
After stating this, Thompson smiled and added, “Doesn't matter what he sent, as long as you like it, that's all that matters. Just like you said, it's the thought that counts.”
Regardless of whether they were pearls or conch pearls, they're simply a piece of ornament after all.
Mary Perryne carefully scrutinized the pearls in her hands, her voice a little soft, “I always feel that this Terrence is not as simple as he seems.”
And it wasn't just because of this conch pearl necklace.
At this point, Mary Perryne paused, “When Viola was in trouble, we had a hard time finding the Divine Doctor, but Terrence managed to bring him here with ease! Actions speak louder than words. I think Terrence is a conscientious kid. Even though everyone speaks ill of him, I have accepted him as a son-in-law!”
People said that Terrence Lentz was a good-for-nothing, yet this same good-for-nothing saved Viola from the gates of death!
If it wasn't for Viola, Mary Perryne dared not imagine what could have happened next.
Mary Perryne would always remember the image of Terrence Lentz bringing Nathaniel Besian to the hospital from a long distance, braving foul weather.
Since that moment.
Mary Perryne had thought that if Viola were to recover, she would not only have a daughter but also a son.
Sawyer Thompson nodded, “Terrence is indeed a good kid who can hold his own in the face of big challenges! His parents are coming to meet us this time, we must take it seriously.”
If Terrence Lentz was truly a useless good-for-nothing as the world claimed, he would not have sought Nathaniel Besian to treat Viola.
If Terrence Lentz was irresolute, he wouldn't have remained determined to seek Nathaniel Besian after learning about Viola's severe illness.
So, just like Mary Perryne, Sawyer Thompson had long considered Terrence Lentz as part of the family.
And he quite admired Terrence Lentz as well.
He hadn't ignored the rules just because he had saved Viola.
Before the parents formally met, except for the time when Viola was poisoned, he hadn't shown his face in front of them.
All these points clearly show that Terrence was a well-behaved and thoughtful boy.
