Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 284

"Is this the gem Hayden had in his possession? Is this the gem that is worth 300 million dollars?" Francis was so excited that his body was trembling slightly. He pointed at the gem, his hand shaking.

"Yes. This is it," Morgan said with absolute certainty.

"That's great! Hayden actually chose this time to give it to the Sterling family. It looks like there'll be nothing for him to do tomorrow. Whether he shows up or not, it doesn't matter," Francis said.

He treated the gem like a treasure and continuously caressed it. He even wished he could become one with the gem.

Lily and Morgan exchanged glances, their mouths curving into slight smiles. They hadn't expected their father to be so happy.

However, they didn't mention how they had obtained the gem because there was no need to. They were only concerned with the final result.

"Alright. I'll keep this gem safe for now. You two should get some rest! And don't tell anyone about this. Otherwise, I'll be on edge all night," Francis reminded them.

After all, at his age, he was also worried that someone might take an interest in the gem. That would be a problem.

"Got it." Morgan and Lily nodded in response.

"You two did an excellent job. I'm really impressed!" Francis smiled happily, holding the gem and rubbing their heads before turning to leave.

He planned to head to the study and carefully examine the gem, curious about what made it so captivating. As Francis left, Lily and Morgan smiled happily. They knew they had done the right thing.

Soon after, Francis was in the study, carefully examining the gem with a magnifying glass.

He treated the gem with extreme care, afraid it might get damaged. Especially when touching it, Francis even had to wash his hands first to avoid dirtying it.

"Good! This is excellent!" Francis nodded repeatedly, laughing happily.

He felt this gem was truly excellent! Not only did it look good, but it felt amazing to the touch too.
