Too Late for Regrets Chapter 59
In front of them stood a high-end emerald store called Emerald Pavilion. The store's entrance was grand, and it was luxuriously decorated inside. Through the tempered glass walls, Timothy could see a dazzling array of emeralds.He glanced at Mavis puzzledly. "Darling, why are we here?"She replied calmly, "Today is Grandpa's birthday. I want to buy a gift for him."Timothy was taken aback. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I could have prepared something too."She shook her head. "There's no need for you to prepare anything. Just come with me and take a look."He grinned. "You can't say that. You're my wife, so your grandfather is my grandfather too. Of course, I should prepare a gift. I already know what I'll give him."She raised an eyebrow. "What are you going to give him?""It's a secret."He said with a mysterious smile as he reached into his pocket and felt a small box. Inside were two red eldergroot that Xavier had given him the night before.To most people, these red eld

"There's no reason. There are so many items here. There's no need to get fixated on just this ring."As Timothy said this, he tried to pull Mavis away from the display case.The store manager's smile froze, and she quickly stepped in front of Mavis, forcing a smile. "Madam, this ring is absolutely worth its price. It's hard to find a piece with such quality in Lormford City. This is the only one, so don't miss out!""Darling, don't listen to her. This ring isn't that great. Let's look at something else."Seeing Timothy still trying to leave, the store manager's frustration showed. "Sir, what's wrong with this ring? It's a perfect piece. If you don't understand, please don't make baseless claims!"He suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes at the store manager with a playful smile. "You're saying I don't understand?"The store manager hesitated momentarily, then quickly regained her composure and replied coldly, "Yes, you don't understand. This ring is top-notch. Tell me, what's wr

The store manager, Lily Walker's face turned pale. She became even more flustered as she shrieked at Timothy, "Who do you think you are to demand to see our boss? How dare you? Get out now, or I'm calling security!" "Are you trying to get rid of us because you feel guilty? Go ahead and call them then. Let's see who shows up." Timothy shrugged nonchalantly. Worried, Mavis tugged at his sleeve and said, "Timothy, we're at the Lynde family's store. Are you sure you're not just causing trouble? Is the ring really a fake?" Timothy smiled and said, "Honey, if it weren't for me, you would've spent over three million dollars on a fake emerald ring. Can you let that slide?" Glancing at Timothy, Mavis hesitated to speak. There was gratitude and concern in her eyes. If Timothy was right, she should indeed be grateful for him. But if he was mistaken, they could be seen as troublemakers on Lynde's family turf. This situation would not be easy to resolve! Timothy patted her shoulder to r

Mandy couldn't utter a single sentence. Beside her, Timothy smirked. "If she can't say it, I'll help her out. Mavis and I came here to shop, and we caught your Emerald Pavilion selling fake goods. She wouldn't admit it. "When we're trying to get someone to authenticate it, she called some men over to kick us out. Is this how you do business here?" Stunned, Mandy looked at Timothy as if she had just heard the biggest joke ever. Suddenly, she burst into a mocking laugh. "Fake goods? You're saying we're selling fake goods at Emerald Pavilion?" "Just ask your staff here and you'll know." Timothy pointed at the emerald ring. "You can take a look at that ring yourself." Mandy glanced at the ring and frowned. Though her family was in the jewelry business, she had not started working yet and only knew bits and pieces about it. She couldn't tell much just by looking at the ring. But the fact that Emerald Pavilion sold fake goods was simply impossible. Her family strictly prohibited

Mandy glanced at Lily. She took a deep breath before saying gravely, "Lily, I'm asking you one last time. Is the ring genuine or fake?" Seeing how things had escalated, Lily became scared. But she would be done for if she admitted it now. Denying it might still leave her a sliver of hope. Perhaps the appraiser would be too afraid to speak the truth since this was a store owned by the Lynde family. Hence, she decided to take a gamble! Lily steeled herself and said, "Ms. Lynde, I swear… this… this ring is real!" "Good!" Mandy turned to Timothy. "I'll take that bet then! To make things fair, you can choose any appraiser you want. Any institution is fine." Timothy calmly replied, "That's considerate of you, but it's not necessary. You can choose yourself. I'm sure you don't want to see counterfeit goods sold in your family's store either." Mandy bit her lip and gave Timothy a long look. "Alright." She took out her phone and dialed a number on the spot. She then put it on sp

It was impossible for Mandy not to be nervous. So many people were watching. Outside the store, there were numerous onlookers recording with their phones. If Timothy lost, not only would Emerald Pavilion's reputation soar, but she could also get revenge for the slap he had given her. Moreover, it would tarnish Mavis' reputation! On the surface, the Six Great Families were a united front. But in reality, they constantly fought against each other and tried to outdo the rest. In recent years, the Jefferson Group had been consistently ranked first among the six families. The other families had been suppressed by them, so there was naturally frustration and discontent. Since Mandy was presented with this opportunity now, she was eager to seize it. However, if she lost today… Mandy shuddered. She hardly dared to imagine the consequences. She would have to slap her own face and apologize to Mavis and Timothy in front of so many people, not to mention having to cut off Lily's han
Too Late for Regrets Chapter 65
She knew the Lynde family too well. Mandy might not cut off her hands herself, but the powerful figures in the Lynde family and their bodyguards certainly would! She was truly terrified now. Tears immediately sprang to her eyes. She trembled and cried to Mandy. "Ms… Ms. Lynde, please spare me. I know I was wrong…" Mandy looked at Lily with a shaking voice. "Lily, why… why did you lie to me? Didn't I ask you a few times whether it is real or fake?" "Ms. Lynde, I was wrong. I'm so sorry; I lost my mind for a moment. Please, spare me…" "You bastard!" Mandy screamed and lunged at Lily. She slapped Lily hard across the face. The blow left Lily's hair disheveled. There was even blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Mandy then grabbed her handbag and began beating Lily's head. Her eyes turned red with fury as she shrieked, "You bastard! You've ruined me! You've ruined Emerald Pavilion! Go to hell!" Lily lay on the ground crying as Mandy hit her. Utterly despaired, she kn

"Alright then! Timothy, Mavis, just you wait!" After that, Mandy didn't hesitate anymore. With a loud smack, she slapped herself hard across the face! A bright red handprint immediately appeared on her pale cheek. She glared at Timothy with resentment. Another loud smack could be heard. As she slapped herself the second time, blood trickled down the corner of her mouth! Everyone present held their breath as their faces turned pale. The atmosphere was extremely tense. "Is that enough?" Mandy asked with a bitter smile. She stared at Timothy. Timothy remained calm. "It's enough. I admire you for honoring the bet. Well, if there's nothing else, Mavis and I will be leaving." As he was about to leave with Mavis, Timothy suddenly paused and said casually, "Oh, by the way, a word of advice. If your store employee dared to do this, there must be someone higher up protecting her. I suggest you investigate your family." With that, Timothy led Mavis out of the store under everyone's
