Just as the crowd was full of astonishment, Kenneth greeted Charlotte. “Miss Carter, you’re here too.”

Charlotte smiled. “Hello. I didn’t expect your business to have expanded to such a large scale, Mr. Parker. There are indeed many good things here in the Heavenly Pavilion. It has given me an eye-opener.”

She was very polite.

After all, Charlotte already knew that the Parkers had an extraordinary relationship with Lucas. Now that she learned the huge Heavenly Pavilion actually belonged to the Parkers, it was reasonable for her to give him some compliments out of courtesy.

Kenneth laughed and said with a great sense of pride, “Miss Carter, if there’s anything you’ve taken a liking to in the Heavenly Pavilion, feel free to take it. You can have it for free!”

Cheyenne hurriedly waved her hand and thanked Kenneth for his kindness.

Each of the items on this floor of the Heavenly Pavilion was worth at least $150,000. She had never bought such an expensive item before, so she obviously couldn’t bring herself to accept such a gift from Kenneth for free.

Charlotte would never be able to accept a gift from someone for no reason, especially a gift of such high value.

Lucas smiled, walked to the display case of emerald jewelry, and pointed at two emerald pendants inside. “Wrap these two up.”

One of the two emerald pendants was highly translucent and had an alluring red hue that was as ethereal as mist, appearing extremely beautiful and romantic. The other was a glassy purple emerald that was also translucent and gorgeous.

When Vanessa was looking at the emerald jewelry, Lucas had noticed that Charlotte had taken several glances at the pendant. She obviously liked it, but she quickly looked away after glancing at the price and didn’t say a word about it.

Reason being, the price of this pendant was 2.5 million dollars, which was far more than Charlotte could afford. So after merely taking a few glances at it, she looked away decisively.

Lucas decided to give the other pendant to Cheyenne.

Since he was already in San Francisco and had shopped in the Heavenly Pavilion twice, he naturally had to get a gift for his wife.

Due to the rare material and color of the pendant, it was even more expensive at three million dollars.

The total price of both items was 5.5 million dollars.

“I’ll pay by card!” Lucas took out a black card from his pocket. It was none other than his Black Diamond Card that had once caused an uproar and was a top status symbol that had a credit limit of five billion dollars anywhere in the world!

At this moment, many of the people in the Heavenly Pavilion were from prestigious families and had extensive knowledge. After seeing the gold pattern on the black card Lucas took out, many people exclaimed in astonishment, “It’s actually a Black Diamond Card!”

“Oh my God. I’ve always only heard about this Black Diamond Card, but I’ve never heard of anyone actually owning one. I got to see it in the flesh today. It’s exactly what it looks like in the photos online!”

“Who is this young man? How can he possess a terrifying Black Diamond Card?! Even the people of the top three families of San Francisco haven’t been able to get a Black Diamond Card!”

Even those who didn’t know what the black card signified found out from the exclamations just how prestigious this card was!

For a while, countless gazes of shock, envy, and intrigue were cast on Lucas.

In particular, Brian’s and Vanessa’s eyes were about to fall out of their sockets. They couldn’t believe this at all!

Lucas was clearly just a penniless man who couldn’t even afford a decent set of clothes. How could he suddenly take out a Black Diamond Card that was so impressive that it left everyone present incredibly shocked?

Vanessa was extremely uncomfortable!

Just a few minutes ago, she had bragged to Charlotte about how rich her boyfriend was and how good he was to her. But in the blink of an eye, the shameless Brian dumped her and even revealed that he had been lying to her all this while and that his gifts for her were all worthless pieces of garbage.

Now, Charlotte’s boyfriend, who was supposed to be poor, turned out to be the owner of an impressive Black Diamond Card!

The great contrast, as well as the resentment and pain of being inferior to Charlotte again, was almost on par with the pain of being abandoned by Brian!

Jane was just as surprised. She didn’t know Lucas’s identity, and yesterday, she had even once thought Lucas was just an ordinary person with a mediocre life. Seeing Lucas actually holding a Black Diamond Card that was extremely rare in the world, she was also incredibly astonished, so much so that it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.

“Ah, okay…”

Just as Jane was about to reach out to take the Black Diamond Card in Lucas’s hand, Kenneth stopped her.

“Mr. Gray, if there’s anything you like in the Heavenly Pavilion, just take it away. How can I accept your money?

“Given your relationship with the Parkers, you can take away everything here as you please, let alone just two pendants worth around 5.5 million dollars. If you pay for anything from the Heavenly Pavilion, my grandfather will definitely scold me when he finds out!” Kenneth said in the most sincere tone possible. He even seemed bizarrely afraid that Lucas wouldn’t take the items for free.

The people around them became even more shocked.

After hearing what Kenneth said, Vanessa became so envious that she was about to burst into tears.

The Heavenly Pavilion was massive, and the total value of the items in the store was probably at least several billion dollars.

Yet Kenneth actually said that Lucas could take whatever he wanted, even if he wanted to take everything away. This left everyone wondering just how Lucas was related to the Parkers.

If she could get her hands on these items, she’d no longer have to work for the rest of her life, and she could even spend the rest of it in luxury!

Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Vanessa was about to lose her mind from envy.

“Hah, dimwit! Now you know to be envious, huh? Weren’t you having a good time pointing at them and mocking them earlier?” Brian mocked sarcastically while looking at Vanessa.

“Just look at how respectful Mr. Parker is to him. Lucas Gray isn’t a penniless loser at all. He’s definitely an impressive figure with an absurdly powerful background!

“Hmph! It’s all your fault, you idiot. You and Charlotte were former best friends in high school. Since she has such an impressive boyfriend, you’d definitely get lots of benefits after just saying a few pleasant words. But you didn’t take them seriously and even fell out with Charlotte!

“Great, now he can take away multi-million-dollar items for free as he pleases, but you and I have to compensate almost three million dollars for the vase! You’re such a jinx. Anyone close to you is bound to become extremely unlucky!”

Brian was full of envy, jealousy, and regret, but he could only vent his anger on Vanessa.
