I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 543

After opening it, successive gasps could be heard. This was because lying in the box was a whiskey of extraordinary quality.

"This whiskey looks rare," a liquor-savvy uncle remarked after a while.

Bonnie nodded. "I heard from Jim that Grandpa Melvin likes to drink, so I had someone acquire this for him."

"Shouldn't the value of this whiskey be the same as that pearl necklace?" Kramer couldn't help asking.

"What do you know?" The uncle retorted. "With this size and such perfect preservation, it can't be measured in terms of money."

"W-What does that mean?" Kramer was a bit confused.

"It means this kind of whiskey is priceless. It's not something ordinary people can buy."

The entire banquet hall fell silent. Only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Melvin handed the gift back to Bonnie. "Ms. Bonnie, this gift is too precious. I-I can't accept it. And that pearl necklace, we can't accept it either."

Bonnie turned to Jim, who understood and looked at his grandparents.

"You should accept them. This is her heartfelt gesture. She came all this way. Won't it be disappointing if she had to take it back?"

Although Jim was younger, his words carried weight in the family.

"Alright, since you said so, we'll accept them."

After Melvin accepted the gifts, he quietly asked Jim, "Who exactly is your friend? Why is she so extravagant?"

"I can't say now. It's inconvenient. I'll tell you after the banquet ends."

"Okay."
