Coincidence Or Fate - Chapter 101 Figurine
While Angelique continued to roam around the hall with Jordon company, Annie went away for a while as she needed to answer a call.
“Ange, where should we got afterward?” he asked
“Hmm, for some reason I’m really craving for ice cream.”
Jordon rub Angelique’s head, “Stay here, I’ll go asked if there is a nearby ice cream shop or coffee shop.”
While Jordon went away, Angelique was left all alone to conquer all the people staring at her. Since they have arrived, she has noticed people none stop gossiping and taking pictures of them. Since her manager knows Jordon well and Annie, she was not worried about any gossip about them. They have always promoted her relationship with Jordon as brother and sisters back in England.
As she continued to venture on her own to see the rest of the art exhibition, she notices a beautiful porcelain, it was simple yet stunning. The figurine was a structure of a woman reading a book to her children, it was in color in bright blue, white and pink only.
“Do you like it?” an old man approached her.
“I do Sir, it’s really beautiful, such a picturesque image of a beautiful mother caring for her children, such love was express to this piece of art,” she said
It surprises the man from hearing Angelique sweet words, “She was indeed a caring mother.”
It stunned Angelique, “Sh-She was your wife?”
The old man nodded as she went closer to the figurine, “She was undoubtedly, the most caring mother I’ve ever encounter.”
“You were lucky to have such a mother.” She responded
The old man smiled hearing Angelique comforting words, “Miss, I was planning to exhibit this and sell it for auction but it seems like I found the perfect place for it.”
He then grabs the figurine and handed it to Angelique causing those around them to be in shock.
“Is he giving the figurine away for nothing.”
“Such an expensive piece who is that girl? She is so lucky.”
Hearing the crowds words made Angelique anxious and panic, “Sir, I’m grateful but at least let me pay for it. Such a piece must have taken you a long time to complete.”
“It has already been paid for, so do not worry, since my effort didn’t go to waste since you appreciate it so much,” he said
Angelique was in a dilemma and didn’t know what to do, the man words were just so hard to reject but she felt awful accepting something so expensive for nothing. It felt almost as Scott was buying things for her again. “Then Sir, thank you, if you ever need help please do let me know. I shall try my best to help you.”
“The man who shall win your heart will truly be lucky for you are blessed to have a good future in your life.” He said
Angelique greeted the man for the last time as she went to look for Jordon, one of the staff carried the figurine for her as they went away and wrap it up.
When Jordon and Annie saw Angelique heading over to them with one of the staff holding onto a box, they were surprised that she brought something.
“Did you buy something?” he asked
“Ange, what did you buy? I swear most of the art piece were more than a million dollars.” Annie said
The staff carrying the box answered for them, “Sir, Madam no worries, this is a gift from one of the artist to the Young Lady. Rest assured everything is paid and has been handled properly.”
“Sir may I asked, how much was the piece my friend was given too,” Annie asked
“This piece is worth $10 Million,” he said
It surprises Angelique to find out that the figurine the old man gave her was worth that much, “What? $10 Million?”
Seeing Angelique surprise expression stunned Annie and Jordon, “Ange, didn’t you know?”
Angelique looked pale as if she saw a ghost, “I really didn’t know.”
Annie went over and comforted Angelique before she collapses, “Well, you are indeed lucky anyways.”

At the same time, the old man who gave Angelique the figurine was on a call with someone.
“No worries, she really likes it. I am impressed that you knew she would appreciate it, I thank you for purchasing my work.”
The man on the other end smiled, “Thank you, was she happy?”
“She was smiling as bright as the sun, she has a beautiful smile, I can see why you love her.”
“Thank you again, Take care.”
Inside a luxurious car outside the exhibition hall, a man just ended the call with someone.
“Did she like it?” the person on the driver seat asked
The man did not say a word but his expression confirmed everything, he was smiling which hardly occurred.
“Lee, let’s go home.” He said
