As Karolina noticed Eurydice speaking to Margaret, she retrieved the gift she had entrusted to the
servant and hastily made her way over with Larry.
There, Eurydice introduced Karolina to Margaret.
“Old Mrs. Jennings, may you be blessed with longevity as enduring as the mountains and prosperity as
boundless as the sea.” Karolina presented a box and continued, “I heard you have a fondness for
prayer beads, so I specially brought you this as a gift.”
The box Karolina held was crafted from agarwood and emanated a subtle fragrance, an unmistakable
sign of its value.
It would have been considered too precious if the gift was for Andy.
However, considering it was Margaret's seventieth birthday celebration and the number of guests
present, offering such an extravagant gift in front of everyone was only natural.
In her youth, Margaret had a special affinity for God and often visited various churches. Hence, she
had a collection of prayer beads at home.
Glancing at the box in Karolina's hands, Margaret knew that the prayer beads were undoubtedly of the
finest quality. She beamed with delight and accepted the box, expressing her gratitude.
However, when Margaret opened the box, the string of prayer beads suddenly snapped.
The beads clattered out of the box and scattered all over the floor.
Karolina and Eurydice were taken aback by this sudden turn of events, and Margaret's shocked
scream attracted the attention of the other guests.
Cooper, who had been conversing with someone else nearby, caught sight of the commotion, and his
eyes flickered with intrigue.
He walked over and spoke up in a hushed tone amidst the silence, “When I went to the church, I heard
a friar say that the string of prayer beads is like the lifeline of a person. If it breaks, it is not a good
omen.”
Initially displeased by the broken beads, Margaret's face darkened even more upon hearing those
words. She was looking downright grim.
At her age, she had long since come to terms with life and death.
However, hearing others remind her that she did not have long to live or that there were ominous signs
regarding her future made her uneasy.
Andy arrived and soon learned of what had happened.
His expression became rather grim. “Mdm. Sutcliffe, I am already grateful that you have come to
celebrate my mother's birthday. There is no need to bring such a valuable gift.”
Karolina immediately became flustered when she saw Andy's unhappy expression. “Mr. Jennings, I
bought this string of prayer beads and even checked it over myself. There was no problem with it until
just now.”
“So, it's my fault that the beads broke as soon as I opened it?” quipped Margaret.
“No, no, that's not what I meant...” Karolina stammered, her nerves getting the better of her.
Despite her frequent interactions with elitists, Karolina found herself misspeaking under pressure.
Fortunately, Eurydice appeared just in the nick of time to help her out. “Aunt Karolina told me about her
desire to purchase prayer beads for you. She also mentioned that you have a penchant for high-quality
prayer beads, so she went to great lengths to source a string of fragrant sandalwood beads from an old
friar at Dopdur Church.”
“However, the old friar has been keeping this particular prayer beads for a long time, so it has not been
used in a while. As with an unused guitar string, it's no surprise the thread on the prayer beads could
have easily snapped,” Eurydice elaborated, painting a plausible picture that made the broken string
appear as an unfortunate accident.
Seeing Margaret's brows relax, Eurydice continued in a soft voice, “As someone who believes in God,
you must know that some people believe that broken beads could also signify that it has absorbed
negative energy and protected its owner from misfortune.”
Standing among the crowd, Sally crossed her arms and observed Eurydice as she expertly defused the
situation. She leaned over and whispered to Cooper, “I told you she's very composed and eloquent.”
“So what? That doesn't change the fact that Old Mrs. Jennings still feels uneasy.” Cooper chuckled.
Margaret had been a devout believer since her youth, and he was the first to mention that a broken
string was an ill omen. Therefore, despite Eurydice's flawless explanation, Margaret would still harbor
misgivings.
Cooper bent down and leaned in toward Sally's ear. “You mentioned earlier that you were going to the
restroom. Is this what you were really up to?”
It was impressive how Sally managed to sneakily damage the beads without anyone noticing.
