Chapter 639: Chapter 618: Where in the world is money burnt for free?

For so many years, she only felt that her father never cared about her. She never thought to reflect whether or not she had ever cared about her father!

"Of course, whether you choose to consider me as your father or not is your freedom. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions. I will continue to see you as my daughter. But that doesn’t mean you’re obliged to see me as your father!"

"Dad!"

The already melancholic Sienna Harrison choked on her words at this sentence. If they hadn’t been so estranged since her childhood, she would have leaped into his arms and cried, "How could I not see you as my dad? Whether you’re my biological father or not, you have raised me for so many years. If it wasn’t for you, I might have starved to death like those abandoned children, let alone live a life of luxury. Without you, I might just be a illiterate thug. What would a woman like that, got to do with Jaysen? How could I be happy then?"

A good environment is enough to change a person’s fundamental destiny.

The fatherly love Caleb Harrison provided was sparse, but he gave her the best possible environment for growth. Compared to Ivy Aretha, who lost her parents around the same time as she did, she was better off. Ivy grew up in an orphanage, and whatever she made of herself was the result of her own effort. If Sienna, a lazy person, had been in her shoes, she would not be able to match Ivy’s achievements.

Sienna knew how hard Ivy had worked before she was reunited with Michael Gordon; one should never be ungrateful.

"Dad, no matter who my biological father is, right now, you are my father. If mom had wanted it this way back then, let’s not disappoint her, shall we? Can we just act as if none of this ever happened?"

"Ok!"

What Caleb Harrison never expected was that Sienna Harrison had been ready to forget all of this all along, "Let’s act like none of this ever happened. However, you have to keep the thing that was in the box in front of Jaysen!"

"What thing?"

It was almost at the moment she asked that Sienna noticed the red sandalwood box in front of Jaysen Smith. Due to curiosity, Sienna picked up the medium-sized box and carefully opened it. Then, the next moment, the object inside took her by surprise...

What came into sight was a rare sapphire necklace. The clear, transparent, and deep blue colour, along with Sienna’s discerning eyes that grew up in wealth, immediately recognised this sapphire necklace was not an ordinary one.

The clear hue and the unusual, legendary design, if she guessed right, should be a wedding gift designed by a princess named Ruby Ross in the royal family of Orchid Kingdom in the last century. What was its name...

Sienna thought for a while but couldn’t recall the name of the sapphire necklace.

"Dad, where did you get such a precious thing? This seems to be designed by the genius princess of Orchid Kingdom, it is a gift that was not given out yet. After Princess Ruby Ross disappeared, the industry hasn’t heard of this masterpiece ever again!"

Although she values freedom and dislikes being restrained, and as a businesswoman, this symbolic object is not suitable for her, she is still interested in jewellery design. After all, she had also created her own pieces. However, this piece must have been finished before her birth, and she only saw the old design in various books and magazines.

Finally, Sienna recalled the name of this necklace.

"Appearance of Retrospection". Signifying: I am always here, waiting for you to glance back and find me still waiting!

She genuinely remembered it. At the time she read the report, she had found it a bit cheesy. After all, this wedding gift was a woman’s design for another woman. It was said that it was a wedding gift that Princess Ruby Ross of Orchid Kingdom gave to her good friend, hoping that her long-awaited love could bloom and bear fruit. As for how it disappeared from the industry and suddenly appeared in her own home, Sienna barely dared to think about it.

This object was far out of her reach!

"It seems like the money I spent on you over all these years didn’t go to waste. Even though you do not have a proper job and live a life of leisure, your discernment is commendable, recognising ’Appearance of Retrospection’ at one go!"

Very few people from their generation, let alone the younger ones, knew the background of this precious item. Because on the third day when this product was revealed, the original creator, Princess Ruby Ross of Orchid Kingdom, had disappeared from the face of the earth.

"Where did the money I spent got wasted? I’m already unemployed. If I didn’t have any knowledge, Jaysen would abandon me!"

All of Sienna’s attention was focused on this necklace, and she was eager to find out where it came from, "Dad, stop beating about the bush. Where did this thing come from?"

"This item was not from anywhere, but always kept in our house. This is the dowry your mother left for you!"

Just like a bombshell, Caleb Harrison’s words shattered Sienna’s cognitive world. In her understanding, her mother should have been an ordinary beautiful woman. Otherwise, why would she be imprisoned by Nalan Harrison and had a daughter with him?

Typically any woman with a bit of identity is not easily shackled by a man. Just like herself, if Jaysen Smith was to try to shackle her, he wouldn’t have been able to. She never thought that her mother could have such a distinguished identity.

But her father’s words undeniably gave her such an outcome - the woman who could possess the "Appearance of Retrospection," could she be an ordinary woman?

Leaving aside the value of this necklace itself, even if this sapphire was smashed and sold, it could support super-extravagant women like herself for a lifetime, "Who exactly was my mother!"

"Your mother was a poor woman who never experienced true love in her life!"

Caleb Harrison’s words, instantly extinguished any zealous enthusiasm particular to a girl that could come from the dazzling luxury of her dowry. All consciousness lingered upon that poor woman who never experienced true love her entire life. Then she remembered what Amanda Foster had said - her mother had tried to jump off a cliff, but was saved by her father. Only after that did she have her. So the man who made her want to commit suicide... would he be her love?

He must have died. So she never got to experience true love in this life!

Looking at it this way, her mother was indeed pitiful!

"Your mother spent her entire life watching the man she loved die because of her. Unable to do anything about it, she had to be entwined by a man she didn’t love. She eventually couldn’t hold on and left you behind."

After saying that, Caleb Harrison took a deep breath before he continued, "This necklace was a design that her good friend, Princess Ruby Ross, made especially for her, hoping that she could wear it on the day she married the man she loved. Unfortunately, many things happened afterwards. Your mother never got a chance to wear it. So before she died, she gave it to me, wishing that her daughter could wear it for her and experience some happiness for her."
