Chapter 7: Are You Worthy?!
1472 Words
Looking at Lauren's sad face, Edwin felt uneasy in his heart and said, "That's right, the person who rented Caesar Palace is..."
Suddenly!
A clear and loud male voice interrupted Edwin's words.
"Lauren, you're here. I've been looking for you for so long."
A man in a white suit came running towards them, holding a large bouquet of red roses.
Tyler Faulkner, the young master of the Faulkner family, with millions of fortune, owned a small company and was considered a talented young man in the city.
Tyler was the crazy pursuer of Lauren. Even if Lauren got married, he would still send gifts and invite her to dinner every once in a while.
But Lauren always refused.
"Lauren, this is for you. I just bought it."
Tyler handed the large bouquet of roses to Lauren, who wiped away her tears and smiled slightly, saying, "Thank you, but I can't accept it."
As she spoke, Lauren's gaze fell on Edwin. It had been four years, when did he ever give her flowers?
Indeed, he didn't give her even a bouquet of flowers.
Only then did Tyler notice Edwin standing beside them, his face immediately turned cold, sneering, "Oh, look who’s here, it’s Edwin."
How could this worthless man be worthy of marrying a beauty like Lauren?
Tyler harbored deep hatred towards Edwin in his heart.
Edwin raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Tyler, and said, "Are you here to bring flowers for my wife again?"
Tyler adjusted his suit collar and smirked arrogantly, retorting, "What do you want to say? One day, I will move Lauren's heart, and you, don't deserve to be with her."
After speaking, he turned around and seemingly performed a magic trick, taking out a high-end box from his pocket and opening it. Inside was a diamond necklace.
"Lauren, this is a new collection from Swarovski, the Heavenly Star Diamond Collection. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, so I can only afford the cheapest one, worth six hundred thousand. When I earn more money, I will buy you the most expensive one worth thirty million, the Blooming Fairy."
Tyler spoke sincerely and then looked at Edwin with a haughty expression.
Even if he couldn't afford it himself, he could still buy this necklace worth six hundred thousand!
But what about Edwin?
He couldn't afford it in his entire lifetime!
Lauren looked troubled and said, "Tyler, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it, it's too precious."
Lauren had also heard of Swarovski's new Heavenly Star Diamond Collection, especially the top luxury design of the Blooming Fairy diamond necklace, which consisted of 207 diamonds, a cascading diamond necklace featuring high-quality white diamonds, mostly pear-shaped, all set in platinum, its quality was self-evident.
Women were naturally interested in these things.
This Blooming Fairy diamond necklace was already priced at thirty million, limited to one hundred pieces per year.
Most of the buyers were from distinguished families, and it wasn't something money could easily buy. It required certain qualifications.
That was, having a Silver Card membership at Swarovski.
And the Silver Card membership required a minimum of five million worth of purchases at Swarovski!
That was not a small amount.
After Lauren refused, Tyler felt embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "Lauren, I..."
At that moment, Edwin hurriedly came up from the side, grabbed Lauren's hand, and stood in front of her, saying to Tyler, "Sorry, my wife doesn't need anything from anyone. If she likes this necklace, I can buy it for her."
Upon hearing this, Tyler was furious, exclaiming, "What are you saying? You can buy it for her? Edwin, what a joke! Do you even know what kind of person you are? You probably can't even afford this six-hundred-thousand necklace in my hand!"
Edwin smiled faintly, turned to look at Lauren, and asked softly, "Do you like that Blooming Fairy diamond necklace?"
Lauren froze for a moment, raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with mist, and quickly shook her head, saying, "I don't like it, let's go."
But her eyes and hesitation already revealed her inner thoughts.
Which woman doesn't love beauty and diamonds?
To own that necklace would make her the focus of the whole city.
Even at the upcoming Duncan family's annual mid-year banquet, she could shine brightly!
Perhaps, she could win back her Grandpa's favor and prevent the decline of the Duncan family's second branch.
By then, she could also fight for a higher position for Edwin.
That was how Lauren thought.
Edwin smiled, holding Lauren's delicate and cold hand, and left the place.
On the other side, Tyler watched the two leaving, angrily throwing the roses in his hand to the ground and cursing, "Damn it! Edwin, who do you think you are? Sooner or later, I will get Lauren!"
Looking back at Edwin, Lauren pushed his hand away, coldly saying, "Alright, how long are you going to hold on? Everyone's gone."
Edwin smiled foolishly and said seriously to Lauren, "Lauren, wait for me. This time, I will give you and Maggie an unforgettable birthday."
Hearing this, Lauren's heart trembled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Grandpa won't allow you to celebrate Maggie's birthday. Forget it, I shouldn't have gotten angry at you. Go back first, I'll go back to work."
After saying that, Lauren turned around and gracefully walked into the company.
Edwin stood at the door, watching Lauren's departing figure.
Followed, he turned around and headed to the nearby Swarovski store.
He wanted to buy a Blooming Fairy Diamond Necklace for Lauren.
Because he had promised her to give her the whole world.
Since it was something she liked, Edwin would buy it for her, even if it was the moon in the sky!
Not long after, Edwin arrived at a Swarovski boutique on the nearby commercial street.
As soon as he entered, Edwin felt the luxury of this place.
There were dazzling diamond rings, bracelets, necklaces, as well as platinum series, everything was available.
"Hello, sir. What would you like to know?"
A female sales assistant in a black professional dress walked towards him, tall and elegant, with a smile on her face as she spoke.
Edwin glanced at her and said, "I'm just looking around."
"Alright, sir."
After saying that, the female sales assistant followed behind Edwin, explaining each item whenever he looked at one.
After doing this for more than ten minutes, Edwin still hadn't said what he wanted to buy.
The other female sales assistants nearby began to frown and whisper to each other.
One of the female sales assistants, with an arrogant attitude, crossed her arms and walked up to Edwin, with a displeased expression on her face.
She said, "Sir, you've been looking for almost twenty minutes, are you buying or not? Don't make us happy just to tease our girl."
As she spoke, the female sales assistant grabbed the one who had been with Edwin for over ten minutes and scolded her, "You, you are too serious! Don't you see if this guy can afford our products?"
Following that, the arrogant female sales assistant looked Edwin up and down and commented, "Look at him, his shirt and pants are from a street stall, his shoes are fake, everything he's wearing doesn't add up to more than three hundred bucks. Can someone like him afford it? You should learn from them in the future and understand people's words and expressions, understand?"
The female sales assistant named Zora Dierser bit her lip and glanced at Edwin, seemingly wanting to explain something, but in the end, she nodded and said, "I understand, Maureen."
Edwin looked at his outfit and indeed, it didn't match with this luxury boutique.
He smiled and said indifferently, "Sorry, I want to take a look at the Blooming Fairy Diamond Necklace."
Bang!
Upon hearing Edwin's words, all six sales assistants in the store were dumbfounded!
"Haha, what did you say? Do you want to see the Blooming Fairy Diamond Necklace? Sir, do you know how much it costs now? Can someone like you afford it?" Maureen's tone was contemptuous, filled with disdain.
He wanted to take a look at the Blooming Fairy Diamond Necklace, what a joke!
That necklace cost over 30 million dollars!
It hadn't been sold in the whole city!
Did this poor guy deserve it?
Edwin smiled and asked, "All customers are welcome here, can't I take a look?"
Maureen frowned.
Swarovski had rules, they could not drive away customers and definitely could not make casual judgments about customers' clothing and financial situation.
Today, Maureen had obviously violated the rules.
However, no one in the store would report anything.
But suddenly, a mocking voice came from the entrance.
"Oh hey, Edwin, you dare to come here."
Following the voice, Edwin saw Tyler, with a smug and arrogant look, walking in.
