Chapter 589 From the Depths of the Sea



Smart knew how to negotiate, and today, securing Jessica's hand was his top priority. As for Daniel, Smart didn't consider him a contender at all; the country bumpkin wasn't even worthy. But since Down Perkins was setting his sights on Jessica, Smart realized he must act quickly to claim her before any unexpected developments.

"Alright!" Kind did not hesitate to agree to Smart's proposal.

"Now that Grandpa has consented to your request, hurry up and open the sandalwood box. Let us all see what kind of night pearl it is," Kind urged. Although Beauty had seen her fair share of night pearls, the concept of one enriched with spiritual energy was brand new to her, fueling her curiosity. "Don't be too hasty, Beauty!" Smart coughed slightly to grab attention, then began his theatrical pitch. "This is not just any night pearl; it's been hailed as the Divine Pearl of the Seas! Even at the depths of the ocean, it could illuminate the ocean floor, its brilliance surpassing even that of the sun's rays!

I suggest turning off all the lights here in the banquet hall and drawing the curtains to create darkness. Then, with this Divine Pearl, illuminate the hall just as the sun does with its dazzling light.

This deep-sea gem will transport everyone into a world filled with

spiritual energy, extending the life of everyone present by at least one

year! After all, the most n

thing the world is spiritual energy. That's why our president has

enjoyed such longevity—you see, he keeps another deep-sea gem right in his bedroom!"

The more Smart talked, the bigger the story became. While his night pearl did contain some spiritual energy, it certainly wasn't enough to extend the life of everyone present, as he claimed.

As for the true Divine Pearl of the Seas, it indeed existed, but it wasn't something the Evans could lay their hands on hot them, not even world leaders. Naturally, Daniel was also on the hunt for the elusive pearl, always eager to add another treasure to his collection and not picky in the least.

Daniel couldn't help but chuckle at Smart's boasting. "You know, even when you're making stuff up, you should try to stay within the realms of believability. If you genuinely have a Divine Pearl in that box, fine. But what if it turns out to be justa stone? You'd lose serious face then-not just yours, but the Evans family's reputation could be

tarnished.

Or maybe that's what you're planning. Perhaps you're hustling The Matthews, teasing Kind just to spoil his eightieth birthday celebration. Maybe, just maybe, you're trying to anger Kind to death today," Daniel quipped, playing the instigator with ease.

After all, he had spent years sharpening his tongue among the villagers back home, engaging in verbal spars and never losing one. He knew how to handle the Karens of the countryside; especially the pretty ones never stood a chance against him.
