Chapter 235

Selena remembered it. "Isn't that the gift we gave Filip and Cynthia long ago?"

Selena recalled that the Yates family had also given the Jones fapily a fine set of jewelry, quite valuable, which she still kept

in her safe.

"Do you know the story behind this pendant?" said Justin.

Selena pondered for a moment. "You mentioned it before. On the day Cynthia was born, someone saw her and gave her this pendant. Who was it again?"

"It was Sam Xenos," said Justin.

"Who is he?" Selena was confused.

"You are really out of the loop. Don't you know Sam Xenos? The Xenos family is one of the four prominent families in Betrico, and they were once just as powerful as the Bennett farruly," said Justin

Selena thought for a second. Almost everyone knew the four major families in Betrico. The Bennett family, the Sullivan family, the Sexton family, and the Xenos family. These four families nearly monopolized the economic development in the city. However, Betrico was far from Roncrity. If it weren't for Jonathan, they probably wouldn't have ever crossed paths with those at the top of the social ladder.

Selena was surprised. "How are you connected to the Xenos family from Betrico? Why would they give Cynthia something so precious?"

Justin replied, "Sam's parents are from Roncrity, and so is his wife, who used to be a famous reporter at the local TV station. On the day Cynthia was born, she was also giving birth at Harmonious Maternity Hospital. Do you remember all the chaos" Selena remembered every detail. So much had unfolded. There was a pregnant woman who experienced severe complications and was bleeding heavily. All the doctors and nurses rushed to help.

The hospital was in total disarray, with all staff members rushingo help. Although the woman ultimately survived, she gave birth to a stillborn baby.

Later, a nurse mentioned that the infant was born seemingly healthy and was taken to the nursery. However, because of the chaos that day, when someone went to check on the baby later, it had already died.

Many people got involved in this. Shortly after the incident, the hospital was shut down. It was unclear if the Xenos family had any involvement in that.

The Xenos family was once powerful, holding significant influence in Betrico and far surpassing the Sexton family and the Sullivan family. For years, they were evenly matched with the Bennetts. However, from that year on, the Xenos family gradually disappeared. Sam and his wife moved abroad, and he slowly shifted his business operations overseas. However, some of his sons remained in the country while others settled abroad.

Justin had recently thought of Sam because of some big news. It was said that Sam was returning home this month to pay respects to his ancestors.

Selena said, "Back then, Mrs. Xenos barely survived and ended up giving birth to a stillborn child. Perhaps because of her heartbreak, they moved abroad. I'm wondering why Cynthia is involved and why Mr. Xenos gave her such an expensive pendant when she was born."

Chapter 235

Justin said, "That pendant wa

meant for his newborn daughter. However, her death overwhelmed Mr. Xenos. When we left the hospital, he happened to be lost in thought in the hallway, staring at the pendant and crying, Just then, Cynthia's cries caught his attention.

"It's strange, but Cynthia seems to have a connection with him. She cried so hard that I couldn't calm her down. Then Mr. Xenos came over and held her in his arms, and she immediately stopped crying and even smiled at him."

Justin said, his gaze drifting as he recalled that moment, "Mr. Xenos was probably reminded of his dead daughter. Holding Cynthia must have brought him both joy and sorrow.

"While holding Cynthia, Sam said, "If my daughter hadn't passed away, she would have looked just like her. This child is exactly how I imagined my daughter would be

"At that moment, he must have seen Cynthia as his own daughter. Therefore, when he left, he gave Cynthia that priceless pendant, saying that if she ever faced difficulties, she could reach out to him." Selena looked shocked. She had only known that Cynthia got a precious pendant at birth and thought it was a gift from Justin's business partner. She never imagined there was such a story behind it.

Justin pulled his gaze back. "When the Xenos family moved away, I lost contact with them. Now, we're growing stronger and it's a perfect opportunity to reach them. Although the Bennett family doesn't want to help, at least now we have a connection with them.

"When Sam returns to pay respects to his ancestors, I'll let Cynthia bring the pendant and visit him. It would be great if she could become his goddaughter. I heard that Sam is generous, so if I mention the Jones family's struggles, he will help."

Selena couldn't help but warn him, "What if things don't go as smoothly as you hope? Cynthia might not even want to do it" Justin frowned and said, "That's why we need a plan. If she doesn't want to, we can still visit him ourselves, but after all these years, Sam might not recognize me. It's best if we take the pendant with us."

Sighing, Justin continued, I met Henry the other day, and he said they already gave the pendant to she still has it.

so we need to find a way to bring it up with her. Ideally, we should try to get it back."

Cynthia.

Selena sneered and said, "Don't count on that. Cynthia won't go along with your flattery. You know her well. She's always been straightforward and hates pleasing people."

Justin sounded unhappy. "Come on, I know her better than anyone! I'm well aware of her temper. I just want you to help brainstorm some ideas.

"Anyway, I'm leaving this to you. Whether you persuade Cynthia to befriend the Xenos family or manage to get the pendant back, Selena, you need to understand that Velorix isn't just my creation; it's the hard work of your family for generations. I'm doing my best to uphold it, and you should also do something to protect it when the time comes"

Selena pondered for a moment. Velorix was founded by her father. He was an ordinary man who built a brand to get her mother. Yet, in the end, he ended up having an affair with Rachel's mother, leading to her mother's death due to depression. Selena didn't have deep feelings for the brand. If anything, it was sympathy for her mother that she felt.

"Alright, I get it. I'll try my best," Selena said dismissively.

Justin beamed, thinking that Selena had come around. "This is a great opportunity for you to mend things with Cynthia. You two have had a good relationship for the past twenty years. I can see she still cares about you the most. "If you can both open up and let go of past conflicts, our family can be as close as before. By then, which family in Roncrity could compare to us?"
