Timothy wanted to gift Annabella something.
After pondering on the road, he decided to buy the entire most famous crystal necklace in Easton City, a gift coveted by countless young girls, the Pearl Of Dreams.
Only this unique crystal necklace could be worthy of Annabella.
It wasn’t long before.
He walked into a jewelry store that extended across the nation, called Isle of Love.
Isle of Love is a subsidiary of Bright-Sky Group, and only a top-tier conglomerate like Bright-Sky Group could create a brand like Isle of Love and a top-of-the-line jewelry series like the Pearl Of Dreams.
Bright-Sky Group is involved in various industries, with countless products under its umbrella.
And Isle of Love is a premium jewelry brand lavishly crafted under Bright-Sky’s flag.
The target customers are those super-wealthy individuals.
Each piece of jewelry here has its own unique code, ensuring limited distribution.
It highlights one’s status.
It could be said that Isle of Love’s products represent the pinnacle of luxury jewelry in the country and are a symbol of money and status.
“I’ll take this one.”
After entering the store, Timothy pointed to the most eye-catching necklace in the showcase.
This necklace was the Pearl Of Dreams, which became an overnight sensation in Easton City half a year earlier.
Countless girls longed for it, yet after half a year, still no buyer had come forward.
The reason was nothing else.
It was too expensive.
“Sir, this is our shop’s treasure, called the Pearl Of Dreams, and we currently have only one in Easton City.”
“Do you see this crystal on top? It symbolizes dawn. This crystal is extremely precious, and there are only ten pieces in the Pearl Of Dreams series nationwide. Each has its own unique code.”
“The crystal represents pure love, making this necklace very suitable to present to one’s lover.”
The sales attendant introduced the necklace diligently, albeit with some skepticism.
This necklace had a price tag of 15 million, and although many people had looked at it several times, they could not make up their minds to buy it.
Judging by the customer’s attire, he clearly did not seem part of their consumer demographic.
Timothy took out a bank card and slapped it on the counter: “Just swipe the card. I’m in a hurry, you’d better be quick.”
As his memories gradually returned, his understanding of these treasures also steadily grew.
Sure enough, such a large crystal would not come cheap.
Especially under the light, it would refract a brilliant radiance.
If it were in the sunshine, it would probably be even more dazzling.
Most importantly, he was not short of money.
“Sir, this necklace is priced at 15 million, are you sure you want it?”
The sales attendant kindly reminded.
After all, such an expensive item was rarely purchased by anyone in a place like Easton City.
“Hmm. Swipe the card.”
Timothy nodded his head.
15, quite an amount. Seems befitting. He thought.
“Sir, it’s 15 million!”
The sales attendant reminded again.
She thought the customer might have misheard.
From his appearance, he did not look like someone wealthy, so how could he spend over ten million on a necklace?
This was a huge sum of money!
“I know! Swipe the card!”
Timothy became a little impatient; he was not deaf, was there a need to repeat it over and over?
“All right, please wait!”
The sales attendant, with a dubious look, went to the cashier’s desk.
“Swipe this, the customer wants to buy the Pearl Of Dreams.”
“What? That’s an Italian designer’s limited edition, costing 15 million!”
With the cashier’s exclamation, the other sales attendants were also drawn in.
“He doesn’t look like a typical wealthy scion, could there possibly be money on that card?”
“This necklace has been in the store for half a year; people come to take pictures every day, but I’ve never seen anyone really looking to buy.”
“At 15 million, if it’s true, I’m incredibly envious of that girl!”
Upon hearing the news, the store manager also came over.
It had hung for half a year, seen by many, but bought by none.
“Hurry up and swipe, let’s see if there’s actually any money.”
If they could close this deal, they would all earn a hefty commission.
“Great!”
The cashier took the card, took a deep breath, and gently swiped it through the POS machine.
“Damn! He really is rich!”
Everyone’s look at Timothy changed.
“He really keeps a low profile; you can’t tell he’s wealthy at all.”
“If only my boyfriend was like this!”
“Cecilia, I’m warning you, don’t you dare set your sights on the customer!”
The store manager scolded Cecilia and quickly walked up to Timothy .
“Sir, please take a seat here for a moment; I’ll go pour you a cup of tea.”
“No need, I’m in a hurry.”
Timothy took his card back and walked to the counter.
“Sir, add me on ChatMe, so you can contact me anytime you need something.”
The store manager struck a seductive pose, but it was wasted as Timothy didn’t even glance at her.
“The manager is too much, telling us not to add ChatMe, then she goes over to add him herself!”
Cecilia snorted softly.
She hurriedly packaged the necklace with great care and placed it on the counter.
Without saying anything more, Timothy picked up the necklace and walked out of the mall.
If he didn’t get home soon, his mother-in-law might really lock the door.
“Our shop’s treasure has been sold, to a handsome guy no less! I wonder which girl is lucky enough to have him!”
Cecilia took out her phone, snapped a photo of his back, and posted it on her feed. The post soon gained traffic and comments started flooding in.
“The one for 15 million! Damn, I’m so jealous!”
“Exactly, 15 million, and he didn’t even blink an eye! And so low-key, you really can’t tell he’s rich.”
Cecilia replied replied with a hint of jealousy.
Soon Cecilia, while scrolling, came upon another post on her feed. The picture was a bit blurry.
“Today my Prince Charming appeared, I think I might really be in love!”
“Stop being lovesick! Hey… why do our two photos from behind look so alike?” she commented.
After zooming in on the photo, Cecilia exclaimed, “Damn! Even the clothes are exactly the same!”
“Oh my God! What if Prince Charming was the one who bought the necklace?!”
The poster replied.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, Annabella was also comparing the photos.
“It looks like him, but how could it be? 15 million, that's so unlike her husband, that’s… astronomical!”
She lay in bed, feeling uneasy.
What woman wouldn’t want her husband to give her such an expensive gift?
But Annabella knew very well that Timothy couldn’t afford it.
He didn’t even have 15.
Although the clothes and build were strikingly similar.
Let alone Timothy; even Franklin Lawson, who was so wealthy, would be reluctant to buy it.
15 million might not be considered too much, but it still seems extravagant for just a piece of jewelry.
“Sigh!”
She sighed deeply, lying in bed looking at her phone.
“Maybe when there’s a chance in the future, my husband is very busy.”
Annabella replied in the group chat.
With her husband being like this and herself being so competitive, how could she have the heart to show him off?
Just then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.
