Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Including the ten million dollars and the money needed to reclaim the Aurora Pearls , Gwen was now forced to cough up all the wealth she had hoarded from the Torrey family over the years .
Ill wait for the results tomorrow , Ms.
Lambert .
Ariana smiled .
Igor will return safe and sound once the pearls are in my hands .
Gwen nodded and forced a smile .
Yes , Ill have the pearls ready first thing tomorrow morning and deliver them to you .
Ariana left Gwens room .
Gwens smile vanished as soon as the door closed .
It was replaced by a look of anxiety and helplessness.
Those pearls had long been pawned during one of her gambling losses ! How could she possibly reclaim them now ? That brat ! Shes so greedy ! Gwen muttered angrily to herself .
But things would spiral out of control if Ariana went to the police .
Gwen had no choice but to call the man she had pawned the pearls to during her gambling days .
Mr.
Stone , remember the Aurora Pearls I pawned to you back then ? I want to reclaim them now .
How much do you want for them ? Oh , those pearls ? Theyre very good pearls .
How about 80 million dollars ? Pay that , and theyre yours again .
Ken hummed .
80 million dollars ? Gwen nearly fainted .
What kind of pearls would cost 80 million ? * Meanwhile , back in her room , Ariana sneered .
Those pearls were left by her mother as part of her dowry .
They were antiques and were over a century old .
Gwen was clueless about their value and pawned them for just a few hundred thousand .
Over the years , the market value , of such pearls had only increased , and a matching pair like hers was now worth at least tens of millions .
She was curious to see how Gwen would scrape together the money .
Gwen hadnt slept a wink that night , consumed by worry about Igor .
When she went downstairs , she saw Ariana lounging on the couch .
Gwen forced herself to remain calm Ari , will Igor really be back tonight ? Why are you in such a rush , Ms.
Lambert ? The pearls and the ten million dollars you promised havent been delivered yet .
Oh , and dont forget the car .
Youd better pick that up for me today .
Im not one to go easy on people .

Ariana left no room for negotiation .
Despite her resentment , Gwen had no choice but to nod .
I already ordered the car last night .
As for the ten million … Ill head to the bank and transfer it to you now .
But about the pearls … The pearls are my mothers keepsake .
Ariana narrowed her eyes coldly .
Dont tell me you cant find them .
Gwen knew her sons fate was in Arianas hands .
She said through gritted teeth .
Dont worry .
Ill make sure those pearls are in your hands in a few days ! Gwen reassured herself that the upcoming banquet would yield generous gifts .
Selling those gifts would help her recover some money , and she could plece together the funds for the pearls after the event .
Seeing that Gwen couldnt produce the pearls immediately Ariana relented .
I can give you a few more days , Ms.
Lambert .
But words mean nothing .
Lets draft up a deal .
