Sergio and Carlito were completely speechless. They never would have thought that Beryl would get upset because of that incident. Moreover, she even knew who it was that paid the deposit first, which was even more appalling to them."Ma'am, the main reason is that the son of South County Mansion also happened to be getting married on the same day. They took a liking to that same ring and necklace too!" Carlito said with a bitter face."We're afraid of offending those at South County Mansion!" Sergio then added.After Beryl heard that, she smiled and said, "Your family is rather influential, so what's there to be afraid of them? The way I see it, you were probably under the impression that the buyer from Brookbourn is a nobody, so you chose the option that benefits you best." After a pause, Beryl continued, "You don't have to worry. Just send the ring and necklace to Brookbourn tomorrow. There's no need for you to explain why to South County Mansion. If they aren't happy with you, th
The store manager lowered her head and said, "It…it was me. I had no choice because he said that he'll kill me if I don't tell him!"Phoebe was speechless for a moment, but soon gritted her teeth and said, "That pervert! He probably thinks he can do whatever he wants, but he's dreaming if he thinks he can take the necklace and ring from South County Mansion!"All of a sudden, she received an unexpected call. After answering it, she stood rooted to the ground like a statue."Is something the matter, ma'am?" the store manager asked.Phoebe then explained, "I've received a call from headquarters saying that the ring and the necklace will be delivered to Brookbourn tomorrow morning. They want us to meet them at the airport, after which we will have to deliver them to our customer as quickly as possible!" She gulped and then added in disbelief, "Moreover, they insisted that I offer a sincere apology to the customer and give them the pieces for free as a congratulatory gift from the Sanc
The smiles on Megan and Felicia's faces stiffened, and Megan even said, "But how? You're kidding, right? I bet you're just joking with us. Come on now, hurry up and show us the ring and necklace!"Felicia also said, "Yeah. Now's not the time for jokes. The Shanahans are one of the best in Brookbourn when it comes to status. Who would dare to snatch something from under your nose? Besides, didn't you already pay the deposit yesterday? Since you have, then you're legally the buyer! They can't just sell the item to anyone else!"Their surprised looks elicited a bitter smile from Severin as he said, "They're from South County Mansion. It just so happens that the leader's son is getting married on the same day as I am, and he had his eye on the same necklace and ring too!""South County Mansion!" Megan and Felicia were shocked once more.Megan frowned. "Guess we'll just have to give in. This is a county mansion we're talking about! We won't be able to do anything, and it's not like we c
A character like him would naturally be subject to the ingratiation of many in the business world, yet he came to Brookbourn in person with the sole purpose of escorting the ring and necklace."Have you found out where Severin lives? We're here today to visit him and apologize in person!" The man, Dietmar Hoarke, walked up to Phoebe and asked seriously.In response, Phoebe said, "I've already gotten that information, Mister Dietmar. We've prepared several cars specifically to pick you up!" After saying that, Phoebe could not help but ask tentatively, "What's going on, Mister Dietmar? Wasn't this originally supposed to be given to the South County Mansion today? Why did you suddenly change their mind and have it sent to Brookbourn?"The store manager also asked, "Could this Severin person also be a big shot that we can't afford to offend?"Dietmar smiled wryly and said to the two of them, "I am in no position to reveal certain matters, so I hope you won't pry anymore. All you need t
Severin looked at those people and was just as confused as to why they were there. After all, he did not understand why they would show up at his home after returning the deposit to him, especially since he had seen Phoebe in only her innerwear the day before. He figured that she would have wanted to strangle him to death at that moment!"It'll be fine. I'm here, and none of them are a match for me!" Severin said with a nonchalant smile.His six beautiful bodyguards immediately came over and stood behind him after seeing what was happening."I am And Only Jewelry Corporation's general manager, Dietmar Hoarke. I brought the south county's chief regional manager here to congratulate you, Mister Severin!" Dietmar stepped forward and remarked respectfully as he bowed slightly."Congratulations? What for?" Severin frowned. Judging from the way they carried themselves in front of him, they came there not to cause any trouble.Dietmar chuckled and said, "You're getting married in a few d
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Mister Severin. We'll be most happy to attend your wedding if we have time to spare." Dietmar accepted the invitation and said with a bow, "Please excuse us for now then, Mister Severin. Thank you again!"Severin waved his hand to indicate that they were free to leave."Isn't it beautiful, ma'am? Is this The One And Only? We heard that this was the only one that existed in this entire world!" Abigail and the other girls looked enviously at Diane.Diane felt sweet in her heart and nodded with a smile.Severin took the box, smiled at Diane, and said, "Come on, honey! Let's go upstairs and give it a try!"Diane felt incredibly happy as she nodded. "It still makes me a little nervous to think about wearing such a precious item!"Severin could not help but laugh and say, "Why should you be nervous? Your husband is rich, and I don't think it's expensive at all. I couldn't be happier to see something so beautiful being worn by my wife!"After ending his
The man, Mason Neely, frowned after sensing that something was not quite right.An old man then came up to him and said, "Don't worry, sir. The And Only Jewelry Corporation wouldn't dare to offend us. After all, they have much to gain from having a good relationship with us!"Mason nodded. "Indeed. After all, they've already agreed to sell it to us instead of that guy from Brookbourn!""Hey, Dad, don't you think Rachel is going to look beautiful with that necklace and ring?"At one side of the room sat a greasy-lipped fat man who had just bitten down on his huge chicken drumstick. That man was Mason's eldest son. Sitting beside Horus was Mason's second son, Yoel, who could only smile wryly and sigh. He disapproved of his father's approach, but he did not dare to object because Mason doted on Horus more.Yoel and Horus were half-brothers, and Yoel's mother—despite her dislike of Mason—was forced to marry him some years ago. She continued to date her lover despite being married, and
Yoel said, "But the folks behind the And Only Jewelry Corporation are the Sanchezes, and it's not like we can mess with people like them. They have many strong fighters in their family, and they're quite far from us too! These people won't be easy to deal with!" After a pause, he continued, "Why did they change their mind at the last minute, Dad? Could the person who ordered the item from Brookbourn be more powerful than us? Are the Sanchezes more worried about offending them compared to offending us?"Mason frowned too. "This is very strange indeed. I asked Carlito about it earlier, and all he said was to forget about the two pieces. He told me that the person in Brookbourn was the one who paid the deposit first and that neither we nor they are in a position to offend that person. I was asked to just give the matter a rest, and we will be allowed to choose other products from their store with a complementary forty percent discount!""I don't care about the discount! I want that thin
