00:00Lily was very worried that this whole argument with Jason about Phoebe's seat at the banquet
00:06would blow up and get her in trouble with the family.
00:09As the eldest daughter of the Anderson family, Phoebe was in the spotlight wherever she went.
00:15Dorothy Jones knew very well what kind of influence someone like her would have on Grandma
00:19Jones, and if Kevin offended Phoebe in any way, that would definitely have a negative
00:25impact on Lily.
00:27However, Kevin only cared about Lily and didn't even notice the look that Dorothy was giving
00:32him.
00:33Actually, he noticed, but didn't want to do anything about it.
00:37Finally, Jason exploded.
00:39Don't you understand English?
00:41I've already told you ten times to give up your seat.
00:45What's wrong with you?
00:46Just move so Miss Anderson can have a seat.
00:49Phoebe scowled and looked impatiently at Jason.
00:53Then her cool gaze fell on Kevin.
00:56Seeing Grandma Jones also look over at them, Lily was worried about the impression that
01:00all this would make on the family matriarch.
01:03This would definitely tarnish Lily's image.
01:07She turned her head to look at Kevin, who was completely ignoring Jason, and asked him
01:11quietly,
01:12Kevin, why don't you change seats?
01:16When Kevin heard his wife speak, he immediately smiled and nodded.
01:20All right, Lily, as you wish.
01:23Then he stood up and walked to a different seat and sat down.
01:26But he didn't look at Jason and Phoebe Anderson again.
01:30Jason was livid, but after all, he had to protect his image in front of Phoebe, so he
01:35naturally couldn't act too impetuously.
01:38Phoebe had just sat down when she unconsciously looked at Lily with a gaze that pierced right
01:43through her.
01:44In fact, Phoebe was actually looking at the Dream Lover necklace on Lily's neck.
01:50The Dream Lover necklace was something Phoebe had desired for a long time.
01:54But up until now, even though her family was in the jewelry business, there was no way
02:00for her to actually get one herself.
02:02She couldn't have imagined that she would see the long-cherished Dream Lover necklace
02:07hanging gracefully on Lily's neck.
02:10With her professional and trained eyes, she could tell right away that Lily's necklace
02:14was real.
02:16Lily felt weird to be stared at so intently and felt slightly self-conscious.
02:20Miss Anderson, I can't help but notice that you're staring at me.
02:25Is there something wrong?
02:27Phoebe smiled apologetically.
02:29Sorry, Miss Williams, actually I wanted to ask, where did you buy your Dream Lover necklace?
02:37Sensing the envy in Phoebe's gaze, Lily's ego got a little boost.
02:41She never expected that a rich young lady like Phoebe Anderson would envy a piece of
02:46jewelry that she owned.
02:49Lily found this feeling to be very satisfying.
02:52Lily cleared her throat softly.
02:56This was given to me by a friend.
02:58Phoebe nodded in understanding as her gaze stayed glued to the Dream Lover.
03:03I'd like to ask you a favor.
03:05Could you perhaps ask your friend to help me buy a Dream Lover necklace?
03:09After saying this, she seemed worried that Lily might turn down her request and quickly
03:14added, Don't worry, I'm not asking for a gift.
03:17How much did he pay for this beautiful necklace?
03:20I will pay him double.
03:22Double the price?
03:24Everyone around the table who heard the conversation between Phoebe and Lily was shocked.
03:29A Dream Lover necklace was worth almost $3 million.
03:33Double the price was close to $6 million.
03:36She was indeed the most prominent member of the Anderson family.
03:40Such wealth!
03:42As Lily and Phoebe were sitting together, the contrast between them was obvious.
03:47One was gentle and graceful and the other was detached and elegant.
03:51The men in the room were infatuated with them and the women were envious of them.
03:56Dorothy saw that her daughter hadn't responded yet and kicked her leg gently under the table.
04:02What are you spacing out for?
04:04Hurry up and answer her question!
04:07Lily looked at her mother and only then did she realize that everyone was staring at her.
04:11She had no choice but to take her phone out of her bag.
04:15It took her a few seconds to find Bradley Smith's phone number in her contact list.
04:20She placed the call and waited anxiously.
04:23Kevin watched Lily's actions with an amused smile.
04:26He was pretty sure he knew who she was calling.
04:29Anyway, he was sure it wouldn't be him.
04:32If his guess was right, it was probably Bradley Smith.
04:36The call was answered pretty quickly.
04:38Lily saw Phoebe staring at her very intently and decided to put it on speaker.
04:43Dorothy was close enough to see Bradley Smith's name on the screen and couldn't hide her displeasure.
04:48She glanced in Kevin's direction.
04:51So it was Bradley Smith who gave Lily the necklace.
04:55Dorothy couldn't imagine what would happen if Kevin found out about this.
04:59She hoped that he and Lily wouldn't argue over it, especially here at the banquet.
05:04It would definitely be awkward for everyone.
05:08Bradley Smith was sitting alone at a roadside cafe drinking a beer when his phone rang.
05:13Someone from the Williams family had recently told him to keep his distance from them because
05:17he had offended one of them.
05:20Smith's finances were suddenly in jeopardy and then the company's tax problem was discovered.
05:25He'd lost everything, practically overnight.
05:29Up until now, Smith still hadn't figured out who it was that he had offended.
05:33He didn't even look at the caller ID.
05:36He put down his beer and answered the phone with a gloomy voice.
05:39Hello?
05:40Who is it?
05:42Lily's face stiffened and she felt a little uncomfortable.
05:46After all, Bradley Smith had always been gentle and considerate to her.
05:50Why did he sound so down today?
05:52Bradley, it's me, Lily.
05:55I have something to ask you.
05:57Would it be possible for you to buy another Dream Lover necklace?
06:02When he realized that it was Lily calling, Bradley Smith immediately brightened up.
06:06He quickly cleared his throat and adjusted his tone of voice.
06:10Lily, I'm really sorry.
06:12I was just having a rough day.
06:14So I'm sorry if my tone was so negative.
06:18Did you just ask me about the fake Dream Lover necklace?
06:22Fake.
06:23Lily immediately frowned and looked at Phoebe, who also had the same surprised expression.
06:28This was impossible.
06:30They couldn't both be mistaken about this.
06:33The necklace Lily was wearing was definitely genuine.
06:37Bradley Smith sighed on the other end of the phone.
06:39Yes, it's a copy.
06:40Unfortunately, your husband threw it on the ground, but luckily it wasn't broken.
06:41I took it home with me.
06:42If you want it, I'll send it over to you right now.
06:51Lily was incredibly confused.
06:53If the real necklace wasn't given to her by Bradley Smith, then who would have given
06:57it to her?
06:59She just couldn't figure out who would be willing to spend $2.8 million to give her
07:03a Dream Lover necklace.
07:06After hanging up the phone, Lily saw how disappointed Phoebe looked.
07:10Embarrassed and confused, she murmured, I'm really sorry, Miss Anderson.
07:14I really don't know who gave me this necklace.
07:18Phoebe let out a sigh and shrugged it off.
07:20That's fine, Mrs. Williams.
07:22I have to say that I've just had no luck finding my own Dream Lover.
07:27So Phoebe was disappointed and Lily was extremely perplexed because the banquet had already
07:32begun.
07:33They just picked up their forks and ate, lost in thought.
07:36While Lily was absentmindedly eating her meal, she unconsciously looked over at Kevin, who
07:41was digging into his own plate of food.
07:44She remembered very clearly that Kevin had said that he would give her the real Dream
07:49Lover necklace.
07:50Could it really be him?
07:52After all, he could easily find $4 million to help her company, couldn't he?
07:57But then she thought about it again.
07:59The Dream Lover was worth almost $3 million.
08:03No matter how cleverly Kevin could borrow money, it would be very difficult to get another
08:08$3 million after already giving her all that money to help her company.
08:12On top of that, he'd also have to figure out a way to find and purchase an authentic
08:17Dream Lover.
08:18How could he possibly do all that?
08:21Lily was still thinking too much.
08:23Whoever had given her the Dream Lover was definitely not Kevin.
08:28By now, Kevin was almost full.
08:30He put down his knife and fork and picked up his napkin to wipe his mouth.
08:34His eyes fell on Phoebe, who was sitting next to Lily.
08:38He suddenly remembered why she seemed so familiar.
08:41The Anderson family controlled one of the companies that wanted to cooperate with Williams
08:45Media.
08:47In the file that Ms. Wilson had prepared about the Anderson family, there was a publicity
08:52photo of Phoebe Anderson.
08:54This Ms. Anderson was definitely an interesting woman.
08:58As Kevin understood it, she was raised by her father to be the company's deputy president
09:03at a young age.
09:05She was already a reliable executive with a lot of experience.
09:09Although the dress she wore to the event wasn't very conspicuous, the simple ring on her finger
09:15was worth more than enough to buy a villa in the south of Italy.
09:19Others might not notice it at all, but Kevin could tell at a glance.
09:24The ring Phoebe was wearing was a valuable antique.
09:28Kevin knew this because of all the time that he spent with his grandfather when he was
09:31young.
09:33Even in his childhood, he had come into contact with numerous professional figures in various
09:37industries.
09:39Starting when he was about 10 years old, he got to spend nearly three years with Claude
09:43Fields, an internationally renowned appraiser, to learn how to identify and appraise antiques.
09:50The ring Phoebe was wearing had a unique design.
09:53It was made of pure gold and it had a ruby of nearly perfect color set in a golden flower.
09:59He was certain that it was from the Middle Ages and had to have been worn by royalty.
10:05Based on the ruby alone, it was worth a fortune.
10:09But with the history likely attached to it, Kevin estimated that the ring was worth about
10:13three million dollars.
10:16Just as Kevin was thinking about giving Lily a beautiful ring one of these days, Grandma
10:20Jones stood up and walked to the stage.
10:23With a great big smile, she spoke to the guests.
10:27Quiet, please.
10:28Lily, please tell everyone about the secret of your successful negotiation with Williams
10:34Media.
10:35How did you do it?
10:37We would all love to know.
10:39Grandma Jones couldn't stop smiling.
10:42She gestured for Lily to go up on the stage and then went back to take her seat.
10:47Lily stood up nervously and hesitated for a few seconds.
10:50She didn't go on the stage, but instead remained standing by her seat, slightly embarrassed.
10:56Actually, it was nothing at all.
10:58When I went over that day, I didn't get to see the president of Williams Media.
11:03It was his secretary who brought me the contract and asked me to sign it.
11:08Everyone was astonished to hear this.
11:10What?
11:11They signed the contract right away?
11:13Someone said, so just like Jason, she didn't get to see the new CEO of Williams Media either.
11:21Another added, I thought she was very capable.
11:24Seems like she was just lucky that she went there when the new president of Williams Media
11:27was in a good mood.
11:29That's why she got the contract.
11:31Jason, who was sitting beside Grandma Jones, couldn't help but sneer when he heard the
11:36comments coming from the crowd.
11:38He turned his head to see Grandma Jones' reaction, but he was already coming up with an idea
11:43to get even with Lily for making him look bad.
11:47Jason spoke up loudly so that everyone in the room could hear.
11:51Grandma, I think this is really unfair.
11:54When I went to Williams Media, maybe the new CEO was just in a bad mood.
11:58That's why he had his assistant chase me out.
12:01This time when Lily went there, he must have realized how sincere our family was about
12:05working with them.
12:07That's why he gave us the contract.
12:10Jason glanced at Lily dismissively and raised his voice a little.
12:14I think that the second person to go to Williams Media would have gotten the contract anyway,
12:18no matter who they were.
12:21Lily clenched her fist as she glared at Jason, but she couldn't find the words to answer
12:25him.
12:26Grandma Jones, who had always loved Jason, listened intently to what her grandson had
12:30said.
12:32She nodded in agreement.
12:33JJ is right.
12:35Lily, you earned the contract with Williams Media pretty easily, but it's not all because
12:40of you.
12:41JJ also put in a lot of work and he suffered a lot.
12:45Obviously, half of the credit goes to him.
12:48Lily was extremely annoyed by Grandma Jones' speech, but she didn't dare to argue with
12:53her.
12:54How could she?
12:55Jason was clearly stealing the credit for her accomplishment.
12:59Of course, Jason was very happy with the outcome.
13:03This definitely wasn't going well for Lily.
