Chapter 680: Nitpicking

“Honey, do you think a million is too cheap? It seems to the case. After all, you’re worth hundreds of millions now, and a million really means nothing to you. How about I pick two… or three items today? We’ll set the budget at between 1 to 1.5 million dollars. Apart from a pendant, I’d also like a pair of emerald bracelets and some other good jewelry. May I, Honey?” She blinked at Brian coquettishly.

“Let’s… let’s just take a look. If there’s anything good, we’ll buy it,” Brian said with a stiff smile and a stiff voice.

“Please come with me.”

Jane brought them to a special display cabinet full of emerald products and introduced, “The price of the items in this cabinet happens to be all between 1 to 1.5 million. Please take a look. If there’s anything you take a liking to, I can give you a 20% discount.”

The items of the Heavenly Pavilion would never be on discount. Jane had offered a discount entirely because of Lucas.

After Lucas left yesterday, Kenneth had specially instructed her to give Lucas anything he wanted from the Heavenly Pavilion for free, regardless of its value. She just had to report it to Kenneth.

If Lucas brought his friends over to the store, they would enjoy a flat 20% discount, which was considered a favor from the Heavenly Pavilion to Lucas. They wouldn’t make any money off of Lucas’s friends.

Coincidentally, Lucas happened to bring a few friends here today.

As soon as she heard what Jane said, Vanessa was a little surprised. “Huh? The Heavenly Pavilion offers discounts too? I’ve never heard about this before! But it’s okay. My boyfriend is rich, so we don’t need the discount!”

She declined domineeringly.

At this moment, Brian really felt like vomiting blood.

This silly woman Vanessa actually asked for three items worth between 1 to 1.5 million dollars each, which meant that he would have to spend 3 to 4.5 million dollars. With the 20% discount, he would be able to save about 600,000 to 900,000 dollars!

Yet she turned it down without hesitating at all!

According to the information he had found, the items in the Heavenly Pavilion would never be on discount!

Now, there was such a rare opportunity, but Vanessa turned it down just like that. He was at a complete loss for words.

Does she really think I’m a fool who will never run out of money?

Hah, he couldn’t even afford to buy an item that cost $500,000 from the Heavenly Pavilion, let alone $5 million!

Seeing Vanessa already choosing items from the display case with great excitement, Brian really wanted to drag her out immediately.

Does she really think I’m so rich that I’d just casually give her jewelry that costs several hundred thousand every now and then?

She should take a look at her face and ask herself if she’s worth that much!

Brian cursed his heart out at Vanessa in his head, wondering what kind of reason he should use later to refuse to buy the things she picked. But he happened to hear her exclaiming happily.

“Honey, look at this emerald pendant. The quality of the emerald is so much better than the one you gave me before! It’s so beautiful! I want it. It costs only around 1.4 million!”

Vanessa pointed at an extremely lustrous and translucent pendant, which was obviously made of top-quality emerald, in the middle of the display case. Her face was full of excitement.

“Uh… this isn’t that nice. It doesn’t suit your skin tone at all,” Brian said with a frown.

“Is that so? Honey, do you think it’s unsuitable because my skin is nicer than this piece of emerald? Hehehe. I know you like my fair and tender skin the most! Okay, since this pendant doesn’t suit me, I’ll get another one!”

With a shy smile, Vanessa pointed at a pair of emerald bracelets in the display case. “These bracelets are beautiful! They’re made of the finest quality emerald, and the pattern is gorgeous too! It looks like a fantasy world of snow in the bracelets! I want these bracelets!”

When Brian glanced at the series of zeros on the price tag under the part of bracelets, which was 2 million dollars, his heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth. “This isn’t great. Don’t buy it.”

“Oh, okay then! What about this pair of bracelets? It’s very translucent.”

“It looks too tacky. It doesn’t suit you either.”

“Well, what about this pair?”

“It’s too old-fashioned. It’s not nice either.”

…

Vanessa pointed at seven or eight pendants and bracelets in a row, but Brian rejected all of them for various reasons.

“Oh, it seems that the items below 1.5 million aren’t that good.” Vanessa pouted and suddenly said to Jane, “In that case, take us to see the ones between two to three million. I don’t believe that I can’t pick a decent bracelet today!”

She spoke as if she was accepting a challenge.

In fact, Jane had already realized something from Brian’s expression. He didn’t seem to be planning to buy anything from the Heavenly Pavilion.

But these two had entered together with Lucas after all, so she kept mum and pretended not to know.

Now that Vanessa was requesting to look at the more expensive items, Jade still agreed with a presentable smile. “Okay, please come with me.”

“Wait!” Brian suddenly said and stopped Vanessa, who was about to follow Jane. His facial expression changed twice, and he suddenly said with a smile, “Vanessa, I think we should just forget it. The things here are all so-so. There’s nothing too special or outstanding.

“How about this? I heard that there will be a high-end auction after the exchanges today, and there will be all kinds of top-grade goods worth over ten million for sale. I’ll get you the best pair of bracelets at the auction! These mediocre items only worth a few million aren’t good enough for you at all!”

Vanessa was touched and incredibly excited. Even her breathing became much more rapid. “Honey, are you really going to buy me top-grade jewelry worth over ten million? Wouldn’t… wouldn’t that be too expensive?”

“Hah, you’re my woman. How can it be a waste when I’m spending money on my beloved woman?” Brian said affectionately with a tender look on his face.

“Honey, you’re too good to me! I’m so happy I met you!” Vanessa immediately looked at him blissfully and snuggled into his embrace.

Of course, she naturally didn’t forget to glance at Charlotte flauntingly. Although she didn’t say a single word, it was obvious from her gaze that she was saying, “See? This is my man! He’s willing to buy me jewelry worth ten million dollars without batting an eyelid. Do you have a boyfriend like him? I’m afraid your boyfriend can’t even afford something that costs a hundred thousand!”

Charlotte didn’t even look at the two of them hugging each other, so she naturally failed to see what Vanessa was trying to convey with her gaze.

Jane hesitated for a moment before reminding out of kindness, “Uh, I’m sorry. Although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, I still want to remind you that there won’t be an auction after the business exchanges today, be it the Elite Business Exchange or the ordinary business exchange. The information this gentleman got is probably wrong..”
