    Chapter 153 Silly


    Zona quickened herself as everyone was looking at her.


    Kelly seized the gift box in Zona’s hands and felt confused. It’s just a jade bracelet. Why would


    they use such a big box? Is there anything else in there?


    Kelly sneered in her heart. She wouldn’t care what else Nova prepared.


    After all, Nova couldn’t be more creative and beat her.


    It was just that…


    When Kelly saw Nova’s gift, she changed her expression slightly.


    It wasn’t the jade bracelet she saw at the mall that day. It was a blessing emerald!


    And the jade the emerald made from hadpletely different gloss and pattern!


    The piece of jade Kelly saw in the mall had dark lines. But the blessing emerald was pure and


    had no lines.


    As everyone was measuring the blessing emerald, Zona began introducing. “Old Mrs. King, Nova


    is too shy to give the introduction. Then, let me introduce in her ce.”


    “Hurry, I’m in all ears!” The moment Mabel saw the blessing emerald, she took fancy of it. She was


    expecting the story of the blessing emerald.


    Zona nodded smilingly. “This emerald has a history. We didn’t buy it in a simple jewelry shop. We went to


    Smani Abbey of Mountain Pipal. And the abbot there was kind. When Nova told him the purpose of


    her visit, he said that there was an emerald in the abbey and Nova was the its


    destined owner. He told us that the emerald was blessed and the destined person wouldn’t need a penny


    to possess it.”

    All the guests felt doubtful.


    Don’t need a penny?


    Kelly also looked at Zona suspiciously. Zona had been Nova’s best friend since their childhood, and


    Zona wouldn’t make up a stupid story to put Nova in embarrassment. Zona had implications.


    Seeing everyone’s skeptical look, Zona continued in smiles, “The abbot said that he didn’t want Nova’s


    money because fate shouldn’t be defiled by the stink of money. But Nova couldn’t take the toad for


    nothing. There were four hundred and nine steps in the abbey, and Nova would have to pray and bow


    and kowtow on the third, fifth and seventh steps. And she would have to repeat the ritual every seven


    steps she takes all the way until she reaches the top.”


    Zona wasn’t lying. Nova really did so.


    Everyone was so shocked.


    They could feel the toil merely by hearing Zona’s description. One would only go through such toil out of


    sincerity. Even if the emerald would cost millions, or even billions, paying would be much simpler than


    kneeling.


    Besides, kneeling was so shameful.

    One couldn’t go so far as to curry favor with someone.


    Nova was being too ttering.

    The guests didn’t doubt Zona’s words as everyone knew that Smani Abbey was a serious


    sacrednd of Buddhists. No one dared to defile Smani Abbey or tell a lie about the abbey.


    Also, a simple inquiry in Smani Abbey would reveal the truth.


    Henry showed surprise in his eyes. He cast a cold nce at Nova only to find Nova’s faint smile. Nova


    asked without a manner of making a disy, “Grandma, do you like the blessing


    emerald?”


    At this moment, Mabel was so touched. She looked at Nova with concern. “Good Nova! It’s just a


    if birthday. Why do you have to make so much trouble for yourself? Come, let grandma see you got any


    bruises! It was four hundred and nine steps! You might fall at the slightest distraction. Why are you so


    silly!”


    Novaughed. “I am not that silly, grandma. I wouldn’t fall so easily.”


    As she said so, she approached Mabel
