I Inherited Billions

Chapter 104

While I was in deep thought, I could hear Montana’s voice from behind me. “What are you thinking about?”

“N…Nothing.”

I recomposed myself and smiled at Montana. “We’ll be engaged the day after tomorrow. Let me bring you to buy some jewelry.”

“What engagement? It’s not even real,” Montana said with a pout.

“Even though it’s not real, we still have to make it look real. I can’t allow other people to say that I, Freddie Lang, am a pauper and I am reluctant to buy jewelry for you even when we’re getting engaged.”

“I don’t want them.” Montana was not very happy.

I knew why she was sad so I pretended to be mad. “No, we have to go.”

After I said that, I pulled her outside without allowing any explanation.

…

Half an hour later, we came to the most high-end mall in Shura City.

However, after we looked around, we still could not find any suitable jewelry.

It was not that Montana did not like them, instead, I was the dissatisfied one.

The economy of Shura City could not compare to Ocean City. So, the jewelry in the high-end mall here was pretty cheap.

“Freddie, you’re a man but why are you even pickier than me when it comes to jewelry?” Montana pouted in dissatisfaction.

“We have to pick a good one, of course. My wife is so gorgeous so how will normal jewelry suit you? Of course, I need to find the best one to match you.”

“But I’m tired,” Montana said.

“It’s fine. We’ll go to the last shop. Chewy Jewelry over there is a high-end brand so we can surely find a suitable one.”

After I said that, I pulled Montana to enter the shop.

The moment we stepped foot into the shop, my attention was attracted by a diamond necklace that was placed in the most eye-catching position.

The diamond necklace was very exquisite and under the spotlight, it was shining brightly and it was very dazzling.

I turned around and saw Montana staring at it.

She did not have the look of rejection as before anymore.

Women loved pretty things and how would Montana be the exception? It could only be said that she had not come across the one she liked.

When the saleslady saw how much Montana liked it, she took out the diamond necklace and allowed Montana to look at it up close.

At the same time, she started introducing it on one side.

“Miss, you have such a good eye. The necklace you saw is the representative piece of our shop. It’s called Green Hope and it was carved personally by our country’s famous designer Mr. Waterson using one year. It consists of 80 carats of emerald and 10 carats of the best South Savanna diamond, so it is a piece of peerless collectible gem.”

“Really?”

After hearing what the saleslady said, I started to take a fancy to this diamond necklace.

Others aside, this diamond necklace was made by a designer and not from an industrial assembly line.

However, just from its uniqueness, it could definitely stand out from the rest of the jewelry.

When I thought about this, I did not hesitate and said directly to the saleslady, “Alright, I’ll buy it. Wrap it up for me.”

“You’re buying it?”

The saleslady was surprised. Evidently, she had never met any customers who would buy something without even asking about the price beforehand.

“Yes, I’m buying it.” I nodded seriously.

After the saleslady recovered from her shock, she showed a professional smile on her face. “Sir, my introduction just now was not comprehensive enough. This diamond necklace is a collectible so the price is also very high. The selling price is three million.”

“Th…Three million?”

Montana liked it a lot just now, but when she heard the price, she quickly placed the necklace back to where it was just like the necklace was burning her.

“Freddie, it’s too expensive. Let’s go.”

“Is it? It’s not. As long as you like it, I’ll buy it for you no matter the price.” After I said that, I said firmly to the saleslady, “Write a receipt for me, I’m buying it.”

“Are you sure?”

A hint of hesitation flashed across the saleslady’s eyes.

Then, she looked at me with unsure eyes. It seemed like she was making sure whether I could buy it.

At this moment, a familiar voice said next to me all of a sudden.

“Oh, I was wondering who’s so cocky to say that they want to buy a three million dollar necklace. It seems that it’s Freddie!”

After that, the woman removed her sunglasses.

It was none other than the campus belle Lina who humiliated me before.

I was pretty surprised. Lina was also from Shura City. What a coincidence.

“Miss Holden, do you know this man?” The saleslady looked at Lina to seek confirmation.

“Of course! He’s the King of Trash in our school. He’s the one responsible for all the trash in school. Who doesn’t know him?”

Lina’s words were full of sarcasm.

However, I was not in the mood to pay attention to an unscrupulous woman like her. I only wanted to buy the necklace and leave, so I said to the saleslady, “Ignore that madwoman’s nonsense. Write a receipt for me, I can afford it.”

However, the saleslady clearly believed Lina who was dressing stylishly.

After hesitating for a while, she placed the necklace back in the display cabinet and said, “I’m sorry, Sir. This necklace is the representative piece of our shop so I don’t have the authority to sell it.”

After she said that, she showed me an apologetic smile.

However, I understood that she was rejecting me indirectly.

After Lina ruined everything, I looked at her angrily. “Lina, is it meaningful for you to do this?”

“Of course! Whenever I meet a man like you who doesn’t have money but wants to act like a poser, I’ll expose them mercilessly. Hey, you must have conned this girlfriend of yours too, right?”

After she said that, Lina said to Montana, “Girl, since you’re still young, let me remind you to open your eyes when you’re choosing a man. You can’t get conned by a pauper like Freddie!”

“Are you calling me a pauper?” I looked at Lina coldly.

“Yeah, if you’re not a pauper, who is?” Lina chuckled.

“Alright, just you wait.”

After I said that, I said to Montana, “Wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

…

More than ten minutes later, I came back holding a big black plastic bag in my hand.

When Lina saw me returning, she showed a look of surprise on her face. “Oh, you really do have the balls to come back. Are you holding money in your hands? If it really is money, won’t it be millions?”

Lina laughed. Even the saleslady at one side laughed.

I opened the plastic bag while the two laughed. Then, I took out a thick wad of cash and threw it on Lina’s laughing face.

Lina was still laughing just now, but at this moment, her expression froze instantly.

Meanwhile, I did not stop what I was doing. I took out a few more wads of cash and threw them on Lina’s face.

In a few seconds, the ground was full of fluttering cash.

Lina was completely shocked. Her mocking expression soon turned into surprise.

Her mouth was wide and it was so big it could fit an egg.

The saleslady was the first to react.

When she saw that I had come back with a bag of cash, she acted pragmatically and took out the diamond necklace from the display and said with a grin, “I’m sorry, Sir. I made a mistake just now and I can sell this necklace to you.”

“Alright, write me a receipt,” I said coldly.

“Right away, Sir!”

However, at this moment, Lina suddenly said after she was humiliated, “You can’t sell him this necklace. I want it.”

“But this man was the first one to lay eyes on this necklace.” The saleslady was in a dilemma.

“Stop talking. I can pay more money.” Then, Lina looked at me in anger. “Freddie, do you think you can forget who you are just because you have a few coins? Even if you have money, you can only be called a country bumpkin and a parvenu! You’re not worthy of this necklace!”

“If I’m not, do you think you’re worthy of it?” I said with a cold smirk.

In my impression, Lina’s family was just middle-class. She could not afford such an expensive necklace at all.

“Of course, I can afford it.” After she said that, she took out her phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Baxter. Didn’t you want me to be your girlfriend? I’m giving you a chance right now. I have my eyes on a necklace and as long as you buy it for me and teach a country bumpkin a lesson for me, I’ll agree to be your girlfriend.”
