Chapter 679: I Want A New One

But after taking a few steps, Vanessa seemed to suddenly remember something and turned around to look at Brian. She said coquettishly, “Honey, I accidentally chipped the more than two-hundred-thousand-dollar emerald pendant you bought for me from here…”

“Ahem, is that so?” Brian coughed twice, and his eyes flickered slightly, but he still said generously, “Isn’t it just a two-hundred-thousand-dollar pendant? I’ll get you a new one later!”

“Wow, Honey, you’re great!” Vanessa immediately let go of Charlotte’s arm, scurried toward Brian, put her arms around his neck, and kissed his cheek.

Muacks!

The public display of affection attracted the attention of quite a few people, making Charlotte feel embarrassed for them.

But the parties involved didn’t seem to care.

Vanessa was still hugging Brian’s neck as she said to Charlotte with a proud look, “See, Charlotte? My boyfriend is so good to me! I’m not trying to put you down, but you should get a boyfriend like mine who’s not only wealthy but also willing to spend on me. Only men like him are good men!

“Otherwise, you’ll have to suffer for the rest of your life!”

Charlotte’s face suddenly stiffened, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words for how to respond to her former best friend.

But Vanessa noticed that Charlotte seemed upset, so she quickly rushed forward again to hold onto her arm, for fear that her ‘best friend’ would be provoked into leaving. “Charlotte, I didn’t mean it! Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore and go inside Heavenly Pavilion to have a look!”

With that, she pulled Charlotte into the wide and luxurious entrance of the Heavenly Pavilion.

Lucas silently followed behind them.

The Heavenly Pavilion was indeed much livelier today than it was when Lucas dropped by yesterday. There were numerous people browsing the ordinary products on the first floor. But even the cheapest items here cost at least $5,000, and most cost more than $15,000. So there were very few people actually here to buy something.

“Charlotte, the things on the first floor are mediocre. They’re just some cheap stuff that costs thousands to tens of thousands. We have to go upstairs to look at the good stuff!

“But the items upstairs cost at least a hundred and fifty thousand. Ordinary people can’t afford them at all, and they don’t even have the opportunity to look at them!

“If I hadn’t found a rich boyfriend who loves me, I wouldn’t be able to come here to shop or have so many pieces of jewelry from the Heavenly Pavilion! Seriously, my boyfriend is so good to me!”

Vanessa was really busy at this time. She would extend her arms and fingers to show off to Charlotte the expensive things that her boyfriend had bought for her from the Heavenly Pavilion while rattling on incessantly about her boyfriend. She was just out to make Charlotte green with envy.

Right from the beginning, Charlotte had wanted to tell Vanessa clearly about her exact situation. But Vanessa kept acting as if she had brought her here for an eye-opener to broaden her horizons. She even talked non-stop about her boyfriend and flaunted his wealth. So toward the end, Charlotte lost her urge to speak.

A woman dressed in the sales assistant uniform of the Heavenly Pavilion walked over to greet them. “Hello, dear customers, may I ask which kind of goods you would like to see today?”

“The items on the first floor are all too ordinary. We want to look at the things on the fourth floor. Please show us the way!” Vanessa raised her head and proudly instructed.

“Okay, this way, please.”

Seeing that Vanessa and Brian were well dressed and aware that the goods on the fourth floor were of a higher grade, the sales assistant ushered them to the VIP elevator with a smile on her face.

The moment the doors of the elevator were about to close, the sales assistant suddenly recognized Lucas, and her eyes widened in shock.

But before she could greet Lucas, a distinguished guest of the store, the elevator doors closed with a ding and rose to the fourth floor.

When the few of them got out of the elevator and entered the fourth floor, they immediately found that it was indeed much cleaner than the space downstairs. After all, the items on this floor were all high-end, and not everyone was qualified to come here.

“Dear customers, welcome.” A soft and tender female voice sounded, and a young woman dressed in the Heavenly Pavilion’s standard uniform with a ‘general manager’ nameplate pinned to her chest walked over.

When she saw Lucas among the four of them, she immediately beamed with joy and surprise. “Mr. Gr…”

Before she could greet Lucas, she stopped because she had already noticed him shaking his head slightly at her, indicating for her not to reveal his identity.

This woman was Jane, whom Lucas had met in the Heavenly Pavilion yesterday.

She was initially only a trainee sales assistant. But due to her excellent performance and Lucas’s request yesterday, she was promoted to the general manager of the Heavenly Pavilion. Thus, Lucas naturally became her benefactor.

Jane was a smart person to begin with. As soon as she saw Lucas’s gesture, she knew what his intentions were and immediately pretended not to know him. Instead, she started serving Vanessa and the others.

“Do you have anything you’re interested in? I can introduce and recommend some things to you,” Jane said with a smile.

Vanessa said, “My boyfriend bought me an emerald pendant worth more than two hundred thousand dollars from here. But unfortunately, I accidentally chipped a corner, so we’re planning to get a new one.”

Jane thought about it and kindly made a suggestion. “Did you bring the pendant here? We have a team of professional antique restoration masters in the Heavenly Pavilion, so if the damage is not serious, we can help minimize the loss through various craft techniques and re-carving.”

“Huh? You provide such services here too? But that’s not necessary. I don’t want it anymore since it’s already broken. My boyfriend has already promised to get me a brand new one.” Vanessa condescendingly declined the restoration service and held onto Brian’s arm.

She said with a sweet smile, “Right, Honey? You just said you were going to get me a new pendant. Can I get a better one?”

An unnatural look appeared on Brian’s face, but he still seemed indifferent and nonchalant. “Yes! Since you’ve said so, I will buy you whichever one you fancy!”

“Wow, Honey, you’re so nice!” This time, Vanessa planted a kiss on Brian’s lips.

Charlotte and Jane turned their faces away in unison, feeling rather awkward.

“Ahem… So, Sir, Ma’am, may I ask what your approximate budget is? I can recommend some items for you.”

After all, Jane was an employee of the Heavenly Pavilion. She quickly turned around and pretended that nothing had happened.

“Five hundred thousand… No, make it a million dollars! As long as it’s within a million dollars, it’s fine! Even if it costs a little bit more, it doesn’t matter!” Vanessa immediately said with excitement.

“Uh…” Brian opened his mouth, suddenly at a loss for words..
