What a brute!
âJustin, my chest feels so tightâ¦â
Rosalind hurriedly came forward, held his arm, and leaned on his shoulder. She said coquettishly,
Since weâre already here, why donât you go shopping with me? Youâve never gone shopping with me
before. Look, even Mr. Hoffman is shopping with Ms. Brownâ¦â
((
Justinâs face was sullen. His eyes were still locked on Bellaâs back.
âOkay.â
Bella walked forward with a glum face.
Her ex-husband was like a fly that landed on her dessert. He had completely ruined her good mood.
âHey.â Bella suddenly called out to Ryan.
âYeah?â Ryan quickly responded to her. His eyes were shining brightly.
âIâm in a bad mood. Tell me a few more jokes.â
Ryan teased her. âI can tell you a few more jokes to brighten up your day, but if you really want to have
some fun, letâs go drinking at ACE tonight?â
âNo need. I never drink with men Iâm not close with.â
Bella glanced at him coldly. âBesides, arenât you afraid that your little boat of friendship with Justin will
capsize if youâre always hanging out with me?â
âDamn, youâre both divorced. Even if you havenât finalized it, itâs a done deal. I didnât steal you away
from him or do anything to wrong him. Why should he cut off ties with me? He canât afford it!â Ryan
pursed his lips in indignance.
At this time, Bella noticed a sapphire necklace in the display window of a jewelry store that shone
brightly under the spotlight.
She could not help but walk into the jewelry store.
Ryan followed her closely.
âCan I please take a look at this?â
âMiss, you have such good taste! This necklace is a limited edition work by our designer. Itâs the â Starry
Sky and Deep Seaâ collection this summer. There are only five pieces in the country.â
The store attendant introduced the collection enthusiastically and took out the sapphire necklace from
the display case.
Bella knew a lot about jewelry. She could tell at a glance that the sapphire was of an average color. It
was not Vivid Blue or Deep Blue, but the excellent cutting technique and design were outstanding. It
showed that the designer was naturally talented.
Adding to the profit margin from the brand name, this necklace exceeded seven figures.
âDo you like it?â
Ryan sat on a small chair. His left leg was crossed over his stretched-out right leg. He put his chin on
his hand and smiled flirtatiously at Bella.
The store attendantâs eyes widened. This woman was so beautiful that she was envious, and that man
was equally handsome. They were such eye candy!
âYeah,â Bella responded softly as she admired the necklace.
âPut it on and try it.â Ryan raised his chin.
âOMG! What a beautiful necklace! I like it so much!â
Suddenly, Rosalindâs shrill voice interrupted the peace, which made both Bella and Ryan frown in
disgust.
Bella turned and saw Rosalind walking over, holding Justinâs hand.
The store attendant was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. âOMG! Isnât that Mr.
Salvador? He looks so handsome and perfect in person that his sculpture can be displayed in the
Louvre! But the woman next to him seems inferior to this beauty in front of me in all aspects.â
âTsk! Theyâre everywhereâ¦â Ryan muttered unhappily.
Justinâs cold gaze was fixed on Bella for an instant.
âJustin, I like this necklace so much⦠Itâs really beautiful. Can you buy it for me?â Rosalind acted cute
and shook Justinâs arm, pouting as if she were a little girl asking for candy.
Ryan rubbed his arm because he got goosebumps hearing her sickeningly sweet voice.
Justinâs pupil shrank, and he pursed his thin lips.
In the past, Rosalind did not have to ask for anything. As long as she said something was beautiful or if
she liked something, Justin would buy it for her without hesitation.
But when he saw this necklace, all he thought about was âThe Flaming Heartâ necklace that she had
put up for auction. It made him feel so ashamed that he had locked that necklace in a cabinet and
planned to keep it there forever.
Justin hesitated.
Seeing that the man did not respond, Rosalind gradually felt a little awkward.
âMiss, take my card.â
Ryan quickly pulled out a black card and handed it to the store attendant. He looked at Bella with a
smile and said, âWrap it nicely. Itâs a gift for this lovely lady.â
Bellaâs beautiful eyes squinted slightly.
Before the store attendant could say anything, another black card was handed to her. âSwipe this card.
I want that necklace.â Justin looked at Bella with gloomy eyes.
