Claude remembered that there were 100 million dollars on the black card. "So, I do come from a rich family?"
Claude looked at the store in front of him, it had been a long time since he had given a present to Olivia-his beautiful wife would definitely be very suitable for a good gift. Claude took a breath from his mouth, this was the first time he had walked into an expensive store, so he was a little nervous that he might make a mistake.
The salesgirl at the store he passed by greeted him kindly. "Good afternoon, please have a look around, sir. We have some nice things."
Claude continued to walk around, looking at bags, shoes, and clothes with famous brands. He didn't know those big brands at all. Claude couldn't decide which one to choose for Olivia's birthday present.
"That's very pretty." Claude stopped when he saw a ring in the jewellery store window.
Claude walked into the jewellery store and approached the display case with two employees chatting there. "Excuse me, I'd like to buy this ring. May I know how much it is?"
The salesgirls there gave Claude a glance, then ignored him. The clothes he was wearing looked rumpled and inexpensive. They were busy chatting as if Claude wasn't there.
"Excuse me." Claude greeted them again, but the two clerks were still chatting.
One of them whispered. "Isn't that guy dangerous if we just leave him alone?"
"Leave him alone. He's just a poor man who likes to watch from a distance. How could he possibly buy jewellery here anyway?" The other employee whispered back sarcastically, sneering at Claude, who still looked tacky looking at the jewellery display.
Claude felt awkward, but also irritated, but he tried to hold it down because he still wanted to get the gift for his wife. "Excuse me, I want to buy that ring. Could you please take it out?"
The two employees behind the counter looked at Claude sarcastically. They looked Claude up and down. "This ring is the most expensive one here. You won't be able to afford it."
The long-haired woman with the annoying face stood up. "Maybe you entered the wrong place. That place suits you better."
The salesgirl pointed at the accessories shop across from the jewellery store. They laughed at Claude.
Some of the employees there also laughed. "Yes, there you can buy a lot of jewelry accessories that are priced within your wallet!"
Claude exhaled, their condescending gazes making his expression cold.
"I walked into the right shop and wanted to buy the ring, you should have given me what I wanted right away."
"You're out of your mind. There, just go! We don't have time to serve you!"
They left, leaving Claude to serve the man who had just come in better dressed. Claude exhaled harshly at their attitude. Is it so difficult to buy something here?
Then his gaze was drawn to another waitress not serving a customer.
"Excuse me, I'd like to buy this ring." Claude pointed at the ring again.
The salesgirl seemed reluctant to serve Claude. She took out another ring from the display case and handed it to Claude without saying anything.
Claude shook his head. "No, but that one." Once again, he pointed at the ring he wanted.
Again, the salesgirl picked up another ring. "This?" Her tone sounded annoyed.
Claude again shook his head with a smile. "No." Claude was already pointing at the correct ring. "This ring."
The salesgirl was getting annoyed. "Are you trying to prank me on purpose? I've already picked up the ring you pointed to twice!"
"You took the wrong ring." Claude answered,staring at her coldly.
The salesgirl snorted in annoyance. "Do you have the money to buy a ring in this shop?"
The salesgirl in the shop laughed. "It's obvious from his appearance that he's poor. He can't afford to shop here."
"Poor people are so insecure!" The salesgirl threw the receipt book rudely in Claude's face.
Claude shook his head,. "You shouldn't be rude to your customers. "
"Customers?" The salesgirl grinned. "What kind of customer should I serve? If you don't have money, you should just leave!"
Another salesgirl arrived, wearing glasses with short hair, her hands clasped together in front of her. She had a sweet face with a whole body that looked sexy, many men liked her, and the other salesgirls were jealous of her.
She now looked nervous when facing Claude,but still smiled kindly. "Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you? Our shop stocks a wide range of jewelry. Everything is of the finest quality. I saw you pointing to this ring in the display case. May I know which ring you want?"
Claude nodded his head while pointing back towards the ring he liked. "I want to buy this ring."
The salesgirl smiled kindly. "Okay, just a moment, I'll take it out."
Claude watched as the salesgirl politely served him. The badge attached to the left side of the clerk's clothing read Asley's name.
Asley picked up the right ring pointed out by Claude. "Is it this one?"
Claude nodded his head,smiling, "Yes, it is. How much is it?"
"The price of this ring is ...." Before Asley could tell Claude how much the ring cost, her coworkers who were there laughed loudly, making her turn his head towards them.
"What a freak. Have you gone blind? Look at that guy's appearance. It's terrible. You can't pick the right customer!" One of the women ignoring Claude seemed content to mock Asley for serving Claude politely.
Even the couple being served by the two female clerks seemed to hate Claude and were unhappy with Claude's presence there. "So pretentious to ask the ring's price, when you don't have the money to buy it."
"Poor people have a lot of attitude." They acted arrogantly with haughty faces.
"Anyway, why did the security let a guy like him into the store? Did that man want to steal under the pretense of buying? Creepy." Other customers complained and were uncomfortable with Claude's presence.
"I can't believe it. The security in this store is so low that they let him in like that." The husband of the middle-aged woman who bought the jewellery looked sarcastically at Claude.
Hearing what those people said,Claude snorted and looked at Asley,. "Never mind them. Wrap up the ring for me."
Asley nodded her head politely. "Yes, sir.",then picked up the receipt book.
Claude, who was standing in front of Asley, spoke again. "I want to see your manager. Call him immediately."
Asley was a little surprised to hear that. "Ma-manager?"
"Yes. I'd like to see the manager of this shop," Claude repeated.
Asley nodded his head respectfully. "Yes, sir. I will call for you immediately. Please wait a moment." Asley left Claude's presence.
Meanwhile, the salesgirls there laughed and sneered at Claude. "What is that insane person going to do?"
"He wants to see the manager. What a lunatic."
Not long after, Asley arrived with the store manager. The store manager immediately approached Claude. "Can I help you?"
Claude looked at the manager. "I want to buy this store."
The jewellery store manager was surprised by Claude's offer. Buying this jewellery store? He noticed Claude's modest appearance, unlike the other customers in fancy clothes. The manager wasn't sure if Claude had the money to buy even one piece of jewellery in this store.The manager chuckled in response to Claude. "Are you kidding me? Don't waste my precious time on useless jokes!""I'm not joking, sir." Claude said with a serious face.The manager, named Robert, shook his head. "Nonsense." He gave Asley a sharp look. "What an idiot. You're taking his words seriously? I came all the way down here just to respond to this joke? You can't work properly?""She's a fool, sir!" Another salesgirls shouted at Asley."No one wanted to serve that man earlier, but Asley came as a hero to serve him." They complained to Robert about Asley serving Claude."What did that man say earlier? Want to buy this shop?" The servants laughed at Asley and Claude. "They're both stupid!"Claude did not feel ange
The Dracena family!Alan's face turned pale immediately.He bowed his head fearfully before Claude. "I-I'm sorry, sir. I made a mistake." Alan stuttered. Alan was afraid that Claude would be angry if he found out they offered a price much higher than the actual price. He heard a lot about the Dracena family, which was the most potent and mysterious one. All businessmen knew that the Dracena family owned almost every business. Many companies were under the control of the Dracena family. "I'm sorry, sir," Alan said in a frightened tone. Suddenly it shocked everyone who was there. "Why is the director suddenly apologizing?" "I don't know either. This is very strange. What happened?" The servants wondered about each other. They were confused about what had happened. Robert, who was also confused, whispered something to Alan. "Sir, why are you apologizing to him?" "Be quiet. Hurry up and apologize too." Alan nudged Robert's arm, which made Robert look down, not understanding. Claud
Anne was surprised to see the brand of jewelry on the gift box. "That's a famous jewelry brand that my friends often brag about. It's costly. You can't possibly afford it. It must be a fake ring, right?" Claude shook his head. "No, it's a real ring, ma'am. I bought it directly from the shop for Olivia." Anne snatched the jewelry box from Claude's hand and examined it. "It must be a fake!" She put the box on the dining table. "You insolent son-in-law. You're trying to fool us, aren't you? Do you think we don't know what a real ring looks like? You idiot!" "But this is a real ring, ma'am." Claude defended himself by showing Anne the ring. Anne ruffled her feathers in annoyance. "What do you think we are? It's worth tens of millions of dollars. Do you think we'll believe you? Where do you think you have the money? Just to buy vegetables, you still ask my daughter!" Olivia sighed. She got up and looked at the ring. "Claude, that's not a real ring because I know you can't possibly have
Claude looked coldly at Marley. "I would never envy someone like you." Marley again pointed his index finger at Claude's face. "Then why are you acting like that?" "I'm the owner of the shop where you bought the jewelry," Claude spoke calmly, not hesitating to face the man in front of him. Anne and Marley laughed again at this. Anne gave Claude a sharp look. "Never mind, stop lying. You'll only embarrass me and Olivia." "I'm not lying, Mom." Claude reiterated to his mother-in-law that he was telling the truth. Marley laughed as he girded his loins. "You think we'll believe you?" He shook his head with a grin. "If you were telling the truth, I'd be licking your feet. Now, where's the proof?" Claude smiled as he pulled his cell phone from his pants pocket and dialed Asley. "Asley." "Yes, sir? Can I help you?" asked Asley kindly from the other side. Claude gave Marley a cold look. "Send me the ten most expensive pieces of jewelry in the store to my house. I'll send you the address
Marley still did not believe everything Asley said. Even though Marley saw the evidence she brought and the seriousness on the woman's face, she still wouldn't believe it easily. Owning the famous jewellery store was certainly an impossible thing for Claude. Even Marley, who felt he was a great man, could not easily own the jewellery store. And right now, Marley thought Claude was just trying to scare her. If not, it was possible that Claude had dirty tricks or was doing something illegal. Marley, who had been very tense, grinned at Claude and Asley in turn, after which Marley said, "You think I'm a fool and will be scared by your threats? I'm sure you guys have something devious behind all of this." Marley smiled momentarily and then said accusingly, "Have you done something dirty and illegal?" Marley pressed Claude and hoped that he would confess immediately. But he only saw the calmness on Claude's face. "You've been talking big by trying to threaten me, but right now, I'm about
"Did you hear that? Even he doesn't mind. You should know that all this jewelry will never be able to replace the living expenses while 3he lives in this house." Anne gave Olivia a sharp look. She started closing all the jewelry boxes and arranging them. Afterward, she turned back to Olivia and said, "After all, before this she also said that all of this was a gift for you. I will keep it." Olivia seemed to sigh very heavily. She glanced at Claude and saw her husband, who nodded until finally Olivia felt resigned and accepted all the jewelry until she no longer stopped the actions of her mother, who was now grabbing all the jewelry boxes and taking them away from there. After Anne left, she remembered that she had an appointment with her friends, and then Olivia looked back at Claude. "I'm going to a party my friends are throwing to celebrate my birthday."Claude frowned, then asked Olivia. "Where are you going? Am I going with you?"Olivia immediately nodded. "Of course," Olivia s
Claude let out a long sigh, and afterwards, he immediately took his eyes off the man after Claude knew that the man was a man who admired his wife.Meanwhile, Erick was still laughing at Claude, who had nothing to be proud of. It was very different from him, who was now wearing very luxurious clothes and a watch wrapped around his hand with a famous brand.Claude took another step to immediately enter the restaurant, but suddenly, Erick took his hand out of his car as if showing the luxury watch he was wearing. Unintentionally, Claude glanced at the arrogant man."I know you must be very jealous of me because you don't have luxury items like me right now." Erick laughed again. He deliberately did not leave his car immediately because Erick wanted to show that he had a luxurious vehicle and was very different from Claude, who did not have anything.Meanwhile, Claude had to hold his steps again, only he didn't look at Erick, who was deliberately blocking his steps. He knew that a man li
Erick made the announcement on stage. He was still looking at Claude with a smirk on his face because he knew that Claude didn't have anything to donate. Or even if he only contributed a small amount of money, which would certainly embarrass him."Claude, please come to the stage and tell everyone that you'll be donating to this event as well." On the stage, Erick looked at the people below one by one. At this time, Erick could also see Olivia's face, which was filled with sadness. Then he looked back at Claude. "Isn't it your wife's birthday? I think you can make a small donation here."Erick looked at Claude with a sharp and mocking gaze. Especially when Claude remained silent, it made him even more certain that Claude would not be able to contribute anything to this event. Even now, Claude was looking at him with a cold gaze."Why are you just silent and looking at me like that? Come and get on stage and tell everyone if you have money to donate. At the very least, let everyone kno
