Not only Raina but Joshua and Stella were also shocked by Craig's words.
Joshua could sense Craig's hostility towards Raina all evening, and he spoke, "Mr. Jenson, Raina—"
Craig cut him off. "Stay out of this. She's the one who wants the earrings."
Joshua had no choice but to zip his lips.
Raina bit her lip, her tear-filled eyes unable to discern the look in Craig's, but the coldness emanating from him was unmistakable.
Raina asked in a voice filled with uncertainty, "If you feel my sincerity, you'll sell the earrings to me?"
Craig didn't respond, his gaze fixed on her with an unnerving intensity.
Taking a deep breath, Raina slowly bent her knees.
It wasn't the first time she'd knelt before Craig. Three years ago, she had begged him to pay for one night with her.
