Chapter 111
Rachel and Jessica did not return to the Woods House that night because Jessica was still angry. She felt that Darell was too biased and did not love her anymore. She wanted to leave this cold–blooded and heartless family and make them never find her again. She wanted to make her father and brothers regret it.
Rachel could not persuade her daughter no matter how hard she tried. She could only accompany her to shop in the mall,
Seeing that her daughter was angry and bought a lot of things, Rachel felt her heart was bleeding.
The Woods family was rich, but Rachel wasn’t.
The chairman of the Woods Group was Darell. He controlled 51% of the company’s core slures, and the remaining 49% of the shares originally belonged to her sister, Emily. After Emily passed away, the 40% of the shares were all given to her four sons. Hence, Rachel, the stepmother, and her daughter, Jessica, did not love any shares in the Woods family,
Their source of income today was all from the allowance that was transferred to Rachel every month. Each month, she got 6 million dollars, which could be a lot for ordinary people.
For elite wealthy families like theirs, 6 million dollars was hardly sufficient. A significant portion of their monthly expenses went to socializing. whale costs for big brands, fashion jewelry, and various memberships added up quickly. After all this, there wasn’t much money left at the end of the month
Additionally, Rachel had invested heavily in helping Jessica break into the entertainment industry, spending money on internet trolls, trending topics, and more. Their savings were dwindling quickly
Seeing Nina spend 6 million dollars on a single purchase made Rachel’s daughter incredibly jealous, her eyes nearly turning red. Determined to outdo Nina, she shopped without restraint, buying everything she liked. By Rachel’s estimate, she had already spent nearly 7 million dollars
Christ. What a prodigal daughter! Rachel thought. You will be anxious when all our money is used up
“Mom, does this necklace look good?”
At that moment, Jessica rushed to Rachel, holding a pigeon blood ruby necklace and presenting it to her. Snapping back to reality, Rachel admired the necklace, feeling a bit tempted. “This is lovely. It’s rare to find such a large pigeon blood niby,” she remarked.
“Right, right! 1 like it so much. Mom, buy it for me!” Jessica wheedled.
At that moment, the jewelry shop manager approached with a smile and said to Rachel, “Mrs. Woods, your daughter has great taste. This necklace just arrived from headquarters and has been in the shop for less than an hour. It features expensive materials and exquisite craftsmanship.
The design was created by the renowned designer Violet, a rising star in the jewelry industry with limitless potential. With such a necklace and her famous name, its value is bound to war?”
Rachel waved her land and said, “Alright, cut to the clase. Tell me how much it is “Not to mention her daughter, even Rachel really liked this necklace,
Additionally, the name “Violet” was well–known among noblewomen. A master–level designer who had energed just a few years ago, she was already at the peak of her career. Any jewelry sold by her became priceless and highly sought after.
They were fortunate to encounter it just after its transport, had it been half a day later, it likely would have been gone.
The
mmanager smiled and said, “Mrs. Woods is a valued customer of ours. If you really like this necklace, we’re happy to offer you the best discount. The fixed price is 29 million, which is also an auspicious mumber. What do you think?”
As soon as these words were spoken. Jessica’s eyes almost popped out. She said in shock, “29 million? Why don’t you go rob us?”
Rachef’s smile froze on her face. 29 million? That’s so ridiculous!
When the store manager noticed the change in the mother and daughter’s expressions, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He continued, “Mrs. Wooch, Miss Woods, look at the value of this necklace. The pigeon blood ruby in the center alone is quite valuable. Plus, it was personally designed by ‘Violet‘ ajul crafted by a skilled artisan. It’s worth every penny”
“Even if you say
ý so, jurit it ridiculous for a necklace to cost more than 20 million? Jessica said with a
a sullen face.
The stuur manager chuckled and said, “Miss Woods, don’t joke around. I heard your father just spent an astronomical 100 million dollars on a lambrape painting by the great painter Berthe. Violet’s reputation in the jewelry world is just as strong, and this necklace, with its design and workmanship, costs unly 29 million dollars. It’s a great dealt
“Hraph, you’re just a seller, so of course you’re bragging” Jessica scoffed. “I don’t care how you spin it. This necklace is overpriced and not worth it at
1/2
When the store manager heard Jessica swords, his expression soured. He forced a smile and said, “If Miss Woods thinks this necklace is too expensive. Il fund another that fits your budget!
As he spoke, he reached for the pigeon blood ruby necklace around Jessica’s neck.
Jessica immediately dodged. What are you doing
The store manager smiled faintly. Since you don’t want to buy it, you should return the necklace to us. Otherwise, what if it’s broken!”
“You Jessica was furious. Why was this person so petty! I was just wearing it for a while, How could it be broken so easily?
Though Jessica claimed to despise it, she actually loved the necklace. She had planned to bargain, but the manager was unyielding, suggesting it truly was at its lowest price..
Mom “Jessica looked at Bachel eagerly.
Rachel was intrigued by the necklace. Although expensive, it was as the seller claimed–this piece was guaranteed to be valuable. Crafted by the renowned master Violet, it was priceless, much like a Berthe painting. Even if she wanted to sell it later, it would be worth it.
This necklace was worth it..
After a moment of though, she said to Jessica. “I can buy it for you, but you need to promise to go home quietly and not throw a tantrum afterward
As soon as she heard this, Jessica lit up and nodded eagerly, “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll listen to you, Mom!”
Alright, we will take the necklace, please pack it up…” said Rachel.
I want to wear the necklace back!” said Jessica. She thought, “Nina’s stuff worth 6 million dollars, but my necklace worth 29 million dollars. She got to be jealous
