Chapter 778
“It's truly incredible.”
“That's right! I'm very impressed.”
Many guests couldn't help but praise Penelope.
However, some of the guests there had attended Ashlyn's lecture before, so they couldn't help but ask, “That
expert... I remember she doesn't look like Ms. Berry.”
Someone immediately refuted, “You probably just remembered her face wrong. Many people don't actually
resemble how they appear in pictures.”
Penelope gradually raised her head and spoke humbly to the crowd. “I still have a lot to learn. No need to praise me
like that. I'll get embarrassed.”
Her sickly sweet tone and voice killed the liveliness of the atmosphere.
It wasn't until after a while that people started speaking again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBianca pressed her fingers to her forehead with a pained expression and asked Matilda, “Is Ryan back yet?”
“Mr. Yates is on the way back, Old Mrs. Yates. It will probably take him another half an hour to arrive,” Matilda
swiftly answered.
“We'll start the banquet after he has returned.”
At that moment, Caleb and Nicholas approached Bianca debonairly.
When they first arrived, many people wanted to chat with them.
It wasn't until then that they managed to be free from the crowd.
The brothers spoke almost in unison. “We hope that Old Mrs. Yates will live long and prosper!”
Caleb then gave her an invaluable jade necklace with detailed patterns carved on it. “I picked this jade pendant
myself before asking a master craftsman to carve the patterns. She's a very talented person who doesn't easily
agree to a request like this. Do you like it, Old Mrs. Yates?”
Almost everyone in the crowd knew a handcrafted jade pendant like that was hard to find because a master
craftsman was difficult to come by.
After all, almost all jade pendants nowadays were carved by machines.
Very few people were willing to spend considerable effort to learn the art of carving. Currently, the younger
generation had many more options to choose from, which made a challenging profession like that a less popular
choice. As time passed, fewer and fewer people were interested in learning that skill.
When he said that, it instantly garnered many people's attention. They couldn't help but aim their gaze at the jade
pendant in Bianca's hand.
Detailed patterns spanned the entire pendant. At the center was a figure of a local deity smiling warmly. The deity
was holding a vase and sitting on a lotus flower.
“The carving looks so real! Her kind smile makes people feel like she has achieved enlightenment.”
“That's right! The carving looks so good.”
“I wonder who's the craftsman responsible for it.”
Caleb smiled mysteriously. “Who else can it be but the most mysterious one?”
“Oh my god! Are you saying this was done by the mysterious craftsman who has never shown herself in public
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbefore? I heard she has a pair of godly hands despite her young age! Many people want her to carve something for
them, yet she only takes on one request every year! This pendant probably cost hundreds of millions!”
“You're incredible, Mr. Powell!”
“I heard she always hides a secret symbol on all her works, which is an S. Old Mrs. Yates, can you try to look for the
S symbol on the pendant?”
Bianca was shocked too. She never thought Caleb would intentionally seek out the legendary craftsman to make
that jade pendant for her.
Without a second of delay, she looked for the symbol.
An invisible S was located at the bottom of the pendant.
“There really is one!” She stood up emotionally and showed it for everyone to see. “There is one here! I'm grateful
for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Powell.”
Caleb smiled. “It's worth it as long as it makes your birthday banquet a happy one.”
Mary stared at the scene emotionally. My eyes didn't deceive me! Mr. Powell is as rich and handsome as a wealthy
man can be! More importantly, he's still single!
Her eyes were glued to him, admiration shining in them.
What the crowd wanted to know was what kind of gift Nicholas would present after Caleb gave Bianca such an
expensive item.
