“What the h*ll are you talking about!?” Jodie’s face changed. It was never in her wildest dream that Colton could see through the fake diamonds.This diamond bracelet was a counterfeit. Even though it was not a real diamond bracelet, it was a grade-A counterfeit, which had cost her about $150.Ryleigh ignored her. She raised her brows and smiled. “Way to go, Colton.”The manager looked at the kid in surprise and asked, “How can you be so sure that they are not real diamonds?”After all, even he couldn’t see through them. Colton harrumphed and said confidently, “My mother is a jewelry designer. She has a lot of experience with diamonds, and I’ve heard from her several times in the past.”Then, he continued in a serious manner. “A real diamond is the hardest rock in the world. Even if we rub it with sandpaper, it won’t leave a single scratch on it, let alone a few stomps. However, take a look at this.”He brought the bracelet closer to them and said, “There are scratches on the s
The manager’s face turned pale when he saw Nolan. It was only now he realized that Colton and Daisie were Nolan’s kids.Jodie was stunned as well.The man standing in front of her was handsome. He had an aloof temperament, and the expensive custom-made suit he put on fit his body like a glove. There was not a single wrinkle, and it appeared to her that he was wealthy.Ryleigh walked over to Nolan and said, “I didn’t know you were here, Mr. Goldmann. Right on time. Daisie was getting bullied.”The manager pushed the waiter away and approached Nolan. He nodded at him and said, “Mr. Goldmann, I'm truly sorry to have caused your daughter to have such an unpleasant experience.”‘Mr. Goldmann? He’s the famous Mr. Goldmann from the Goldmanns!?’Jodie staggered, and her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.Nolan looked at her coldly and asked, “What did you say just now?”Jodie was stunned. Nolan was just staring at her silently, and a chill rushed down her spine. Her shoulders tre
“Because I can see the potential in this project.”Yorrick crossed his legs together and shifted himself into a comfortable position. “The Persian Gulf project is a huge project with a long construction period, but it also consumes a lot of funds. Besides, you need to rule out the risk of a financial crisis. Mr. Knowles can barely take care of himself right now, but I'm sure he doesn't want any problems with this project, right? “You have invested 1.1 billion dollars in this project, and if it is not completed on time, it'll be a huge loss. Instead of waiting for the Persian island to be deserted or taken over by others, you should let me join.”Seeing that Anthony was hesitating, Yorrick picked up the teacup and leaned forward. “Mr. Topaz, I can assure you that I won’t let anything happen to the Persian Gulf project.”Anthony lifted his head to look at him. “And what is your requirement, Mr. Hathaway?”Yorrick took a sip from his tea and ran his fingertip over the cup's rim. “My
Colton raised his head. “Dad, aren’t you angry that we’ve caused you trouble?”“Why should I be angry?” Nolan laughed and put down the cup of coffee. “It will be best if you can solve the problem yourself. But even if you can’t solve it, you still have me.”Daisie ran up to him, wrapped her arms around Nolan’s, and grinned. “It’s great that you’re not angry at us. Colton actually helped me today. That bad woman even planned to frame me with a fake diamond bracelet as if I’ve never seen one before this.”Nolan frowned.‘Why do I feel that this little girl is just connoting herself?’After the two children went upstairs, Quincy walked in from outside in a hurry and stopped in front of Nolan. “Mr. Goldmann, Hans just called, saying that Elder Master Goldmann has fallen ill.”Nolan frowned. “Does my father know about this?”Quincy nodded. “He already knows. Mr. Goldmann traveled to Stoslo this morning.”Nolan stood up. “Purchase two tickets to Stoslo tomorrow.”Quincy nodded. “Oka
“I know, right?” Lucy looked delighted too. “Ms. Vanderbilt has high standards when it comes to looking for a design. Apart from the refinement of the workpiece, she looks for creativity too. She also insists that all creations must have their own souls.”“Soul?” Naomi stared at her.Lucy explained, “Although I don’t know what the soul of a workpiece is, the motto of Soul Jewelry is to instill souls in all its products. Ms. Vanderbilt said even though a jewelry piece is an inanimate object, its designer must give a meaning to its existence when it’s being designed.”Naomi arrived at a lightbulb moment all of a sudden.Lucy turned to look at her. “Ms. Vanderbilt has high hopes for you.”Naomi was stunned for a split second. “Me?”“Yes.” Lucy nodded as her gaze was fixed on the jewelry in the cabinet. “Ms. Vanderbilt said that you’ll also become a successful jewelry designer in the future.”Naomi’s eyelashes drooped as she did not know what to think.However, at this time, Lucy s
Seeing that Nolan and Maisie had come, Nicholas was slightly flustered. “Why are you here?”“We’ve come to see Grandpa.” Nolan glanced into the ward. “What happened to him?”Nicholas snorted. “What else could have happened? He’s still as stubborn as a mule at such an old age. He wouldn’t even come to the hospital even though he already felt not too well since long ago.”As soon as Nicholas finished explaining to Nolan, Titus’ dissatisfied voice sounded from inside the ward. “B*stard! Isn’t it just hypertension? My body is still as tough as it could ever be.”Nicholas glanced at Nolan with a speechless expression. “You see?”The doctor said that Titus suffered from hypertension. Since he was very old, the sudden hypertension wasn’t good news for the elderly.Nicholas seconded the doctor and said to Nolan after the doctor left, “Go in and persuade your grandfather.”Nolan adjusted his suit’s jacket and walked into the ward.Titus was leaning on the bed for an infusion. He lifted
‘But what can we say? He’s the tycoon of Yaramoor. He’s wealthy enough to wage war on a country without any hesitation. Not to mention that his family is closely connected to Yaramoor’s nobility. So, why would he take a fancy to a woman from our circle?‘Frankly speaking, marrying a princess might not even be on his to-do list.’Yorrick apologized to them, walked toward Anthony with a wine glass, and proposed a toast.Anthony was flattered and said with a smile, “Mr. Hathaway, I should be the one who’s proposing a toast here.”Yorrick responded solemnly, “You’re an elder, and I’m the one who wants to collaborate with you, so it’s only natural for me to show you some respect.”Anthony did not say anything more. Since the other party did not care about such trivial matters, he went with the flow and casually accepted his toast.The director standing beside Anthony asked with a smile, “Mr. Topaz, why didn’t your daughter come with you?”Anthony replied, “My daughter isn’t very used
“Mr. Hathaway, is this how you make a fool out of the women that you’ve approached before this? I really took what you said very seriously.” Jodie looked very disappointed.Unfortunately, this trick did not work on him either. “Are you serious? So did you play hard-to-get with me the other day?”She came up with an excuse instantly. “I... I just needed some time to think about it at that time. I wasn’t playing hard-to-get.”Yorrick smiled. “Then are you telling me that you’ve thought about it thoroughly now?”“Yes.” Jodie approached him boldly, pulled his hand, and pressed it against her chest with all her strength. “I’m deadly serious and sincere this time around, Mr. Hathaway. I can be yours tonight as long as you’re willing to accept me.”The door of the next room just happened to be pushed open at that exact moment. Xyla, who had taken off her makeup, showered, and had not dried her hair, came out to the corridor in a bathrobe to pick up a call from a takeaway delivery man.T
