Chapter 9: Poor People Cannot Afford Expensive Jewelry!
1250 Words
At this moment, Peyton noticed Alexander beside her, his face suddenly turning dark, mocking: "Oh, I wondered who it was, Alexander Reynolds."
This was the useless man known throughout Golden Harbor, how could he marry a beautiful woman like Eleanor, as lovely as a fairy?
In Peyton's heart, he was filled with hatred for Alexander.
Alexander frowned slightly, looking at Peyton, saying: "Giving flowers to my wife again?"
Peyton straightened his tie, his lips curling slightly, answering dramatically: "What do you want to say? One day I'll make Eleanor happy, and you, you're not worthy of her."
After saying that, he turned around, like performing a magic trick, took out a small expensive box from his chest, opened it, revealing a diamond necklace.
"Eleanor, this is the new collection from Crystal Wave, the Star Diamond collection, but unfortunately, my current strength only allows me to buy this cheapest necklace in the collection, 1.8 million. When I make more money, I will definitely buy you the most expensive necklace, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, worth 90 million."
Peyton spoke very sincerely, and after speaking, he raised his eyebrows arrogantly at Alexander.
Even without much strength, he could still buy a 1.8 million necklace!
And what about Alexander?
He couldn't afford it in his lifetime!
Eleanor's face showed a bit of difficulty as she said: "Peyton, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this, it's... it's too valuable."
Eleanor had heard of the Star Diamond collection of diamond necklaces from Crystal Wave, especially the Hundred Flowers Fairy necklace, with 207 diamonds, a multi-layered necklace, all made from the best white diamonds, most of which were pear-shaped diamonds, and all diamonds were set in platinum, the quality was self-evident.
Women, after all, were very interested in these things.
The Hundred Flowers Fairy diamond necklace had reached an astronomical price of 90 million, with only 100 necklaces produced each year.
Most buyers of this product were wealthy people, and it wasn't just about having money, but also certain qualifications.
That was having a silver membership card from Crystal Wave.
And this silver membership card required spending 15 million on Crystal Wave.
This was not a small number.
Seeing Eleanor refuse, Peyton felt a bit embarrassed and slapped in the face, saying: "Eleanor, I..."
At this moment, Alexander stepped forward, grabbed Eleanor's hand, leading her away, saying to Peyton: "Sorry, my wife doesn't need anything from others, if she likes this necklace, I can buy it for her."
Hearing this, Peyton seemed to step on a cat's tail, shouting strangely: "What did you say, you can buy it for her? Alexander, are you kidding, have you looked at yourself, you can't even afford the 1.8 million necklace in my hand!"
Alexander smiled, turned to Eleanor, and softly asked: "Do you like the Hundred Flowers Fairy necklace?"
Eleanor was stunned, raising her eyebrows, her eyes filled with tears, looking at Alexander, her white lips trembling slightly, shaking her head hurriedly: "I don't like it, let's go."
But her eyes and hesitation revealed her true thoughts.
What woman doesn't love beauty, doesn't like diamonds?
A woman with that necklace could become the center of the whole city.
She might even achieve outstanding success at the Marshall family's annual meeting!
That way, she might gain her grandfather's favor, and the second branch of the Marshall family wouldn't decline.
At that time, she could also secure more positions for Alexander.
Eleanor thought so.
Alexander smiled, holding Eleanor's small, soft, cold hand, and left.
On the other side, Peyton watched them leave, angrily threw the bouquet of roses on the ground, cursing: "Damn it! Alexander, what are you acting for, sooner or later, I'll get Eleanor!"
Turning back to Eleanor, she pulled away from his hand, coldly saying: "Enough, how long do you want to hold, he's gone."
Alexander grinned foolishly, seriously saying to Eleanor: "Eleanor, wait for me, this time I will give you and Mary an unforgettable birthday party."
Eleanor's heart trembled at these words, saying: "What nonsense are you talking, grandfather won't agree for you to celebrate Mary's birthday together. Forget it, I shouldn't be mad at you, go home first, I'll go back to work."
After speaking, Eleanor turned around, her graceful figure entering the company.
Alexander stood at the door, watching Eleanor's departing figure, her slender waist, the goddess in many people's hearts.
Then, he turned around and rode his electric scooter to a nearby Crystal Wave store.
He wanted to buy Eleanor a Hundred Flowers Fairy diamond necklace,
Because he promised her, he would give her the whole world.
If it was something she liked, Alexander had to buy it for her, even if it was the moon in the sky, Alexander had to buy it!
Soon after, Alexander arrived at a Crystal Wave store on a nearby commercial street.
As soon as he entered, Alexander felt the luxury here.
Rings, bracelets, necklaces, as well as platinum, everything.
"Hello sir, may I help you with anything?"
A tall saleswoman in a black business dress walked up, her demeanor excellent, always with a smile on her face as she spoke.
Alexander glanced around, saying: "I'm just looking."
"Alright, sir."
After saying that, the saleswoman continued to stand behind Alexander, explaining each model he looked at.
After more than 10 minutes, Alexander hadn't mentioned buying anything.
Nearby, other saleswomen began to frown and whispered a few words.
One of them, a haughty saleswoman, with her arms crossed, walked up to Alexander, her face unhappy, saying: "Sir, you've been looking for over 10 minutes, buying or not? Don't play with our Gemma."
At the same time, the saleswoman pulled the saleswoman who had been following Alexander, scolding: "You are too serious, can't you see this guy doesn't have the money to buy our products?"
Then, the arrogant saleswoman appraised Alexander, criticizing: "Look, his pants and shirt are from the market, his shoes are fakes, all his clothes together aren't worth, someone like this, can he buy anything? Learn from us more in the future, understand?"
The female employee Gemma Connor bit her pink lips, looking at Alexander, seemingly wanting to explain something but finally nodding and saying: "Sister Emily, I understand."
Alexander looked at his clothes, realizing they were indeed not suitable for such a luxurious store.
He smiled, still maintaining a normal demeanor, and said: "Sorry, I would like to see the Hundred Flowers Fairy diamond necklace."
Thud!
Hearing Alexander's words, all six saleswomen in the store were stunned!
"Haha, what are you saying? You want to see the Hundred Flowers Fairy diamond necklace? Do you know how much that necklace costs? Can someone like you afford it?" Emily Poole raised an eyebrow, her words full of disdain.
He actually wanted to see the Hundred Flowers Fairy necklace, what a joke!
That necklace was priced at 90 million!
No one in Golden Harbor had bought one yet!
Could this poor wretch possibly afford it?
Alexander smiled and asked: "A customer in the store is still a customer. Can't I take a look?"
Emily frowned. Crystal Wave had a policy that employees were not allowed to drive customers away, nor could they casually judge a customer's attire or financial situation.
Today, Emily had violated this policy.
But in this store, no one would report it.
Suddenly, a mocking voice came from outside the door.
"Oh, Alexander, you actually dare to come here."
Following the voice, Alexander saw Peyton Roberts entering with a proud and smug expression.
