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 angered by their remarks. He looked at Robert seriously. "I want to buy this shop. Just tell me how much?"
Robert was stunned. "You're out of your mind."
He shook his head, smiled faintly at Claude while girdling his loins. "You really want to know the price, huh. I'll tell you. The price of this shop is 85 million dollars. Can you afford it?"
That’s nearly 20% higher than the regular price.
Robert grinned,feeling confident that Claude would not be able to afford that price.
He knew this stupid young man would be scared away at once. After all, how could anyone buy a jewellery store for that much?
However, Claude nodded his head without any hesitation. "Alright, I'll buy it."
He just accepted it calmly, not afraid at all. Suddenly, it made everyone surprised.
"Is he serious?" the salesgirls behind them wondered.
"That's a fantastic price. He's really out of his mind." They shook their heads in disbelief at Claude.
Robert was silent. He stared at Claude,seeming like he’s trying to see him through.
Now he didn't feel unsure about Claude's identity. If Claude dared to say that, it meant that Claude was not a random person.
After all,he didn’t think that someone would be so stupid to fool him like this.
However, he couldn't decide on that. Robert finally decided to go to ask the director of this shop.
"Then, wait here for a moment." Robert waltzed away from them.
Robert got into the elevator, pressing the button directly to the floor where the store director was. All the way there, his head kept thinking about who Claude really was because, judging from Claude's appearance, the man didn't look like a rich man.
Robert arrived at the door of the director's office. He knocked gently. "Excuse me, sir. This is Robert."
The director, flirting with the sexy employee in the office, looked annoyed at being interrupted. "Yes, come in!"
Robert opened the door, immediately bowing his head. He felt a little uncomfortable about it. "Excuse me, sir. There are people downstairs who want to buy this store for 85 million dollars."
"What?" The old director was surprised to hear that. He was curious, who was the person who wanted to buy the store at that price?
The director immediately stood up and released his embrace on the female employee. He looked at Robert. "Do you know who the person is who wants to buy this shop?"
Robert shook his head slowly. "No, sir."
The old director girded his loins. "Why haven't we heard about this rich young man? Where is he now?"
"Downstairs, sir." Robert pointed towards the back where the elevator was.
"Come on, let's go there." The elderly director, named Alan, walked out of his office to meet Claude in person.
Alan and Robert got into the elevator. After they reached the main floor of the jewellery store, Robert immediately led him to where Claude was waiting.
"That's the man, sir." Robert pointed at Claude in a half-whispered tone of voice.
Alan frowned, looking at Claude's appearance. He felt he had been deceived. "Are you serious that that person is going to buy this shop?"
"That's right, sir. He agreed to buy this shop for 85 million dollars." Robert nodded, confirming it.
"You're trying to mess with me, aren't you?" Alan held back his anger. "Just look at that look. Are you so stupid that you can't tell if someone has money or not?"
Robert shook his head quickly. "I wouldn't dare to play a prank on you, sir. He looks like he's seriously saying he's willing to buy this shop. I raised the price by 20%, but he still agreed."
Alan approached Claude with a probing look in his eyes. "Are you the one who said you wanted to buy this shop?"
"Yes," Claude replied with a serious face.
Alan folded his arms across his chest. "Are you sure?"
"Yes," Claude answered briefly once again.
Alan was annoyed to hear that. He returned his attention to Claude's appearance, which did not look like a rich man. "Then, how are you going to pay for it? 85 million dollars. Do you really have that much money?"
The salesgirls, who thought like Alan and Robert, looked sarcastically at Claude. They shook their heads, of course he didn’t .
"Maybe he's just playing a prank on you, sir." The salesgirl behind them tried to heat things up.
"Yeah, it's impossible for someone like him to have that much money. Everyone can quickly judge him too. Just look at his appearance. Does such a person look like he has a lot of money?" The other salesgirls chimed in, which made Alan even more convinced that Claude had no money.
Alan raised his chin haughtily. "How? Do you have money?" He pointed his index finger in Claude's face. "If you make a fool out of me, I'll call security to kick you out of here!"
"Yeah, we should just call security. He's already disturbing the comfort of the customers here, sir." The salesgirls seemed content to stir things up.
Claude sneered, took out the black card in his pants pocket, holding it up in front of them. "I'll pay with this card now."
"Can a card prove anything? I own a card,too. Does it mean I can buy this store?" Someone chuckled.
"It could be someone else's card that he borrowed. Or maybe it's a blank card that he brought along to look cool."
"Maybe that guy is trying to trick us all!" The salesgirls accused Claude. It made the atmosphere tense.
"I'm not a cheater." Claude said firmly.
Alan was furious at Claude, feeling he had been mocked. "You want to cheat us with that card? You won't be able to!"
He approached Claude, about to snatch the card to throw it in the trash.
However, when Alan saw more clearly that there was a symbol there which was a unique mark with the image of the black dragon belonging to Claude's family on the black card, Alan's eyes widened even more.
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
Claude had a cold expression as he stared at Erick, who looked so haughty after making a donation of three hundred thousand dollars. Currently, Erick was folding his arms over his chest and showing everyone he was a great man."You shouldn't just look at me like that. You better tell me right away how much money you're going to donate here." Erick raised his voice again as he didn't like the look Claude was giving him.Claude smiled, put both hands in his pants pockets, and said, "Of course I will make a proper donation that you would never expect." Claude said calmly and looked at Erick with a very serious look."Did you hear that? He said very arrogantly." Erick shouted in front of everyone and laughed at Claude again. But Claude was still acting very calmly, which annoyed Erick even more. In fact, Claude was acting very confidently without showing any shame on his face.Erick clenched his fists and sneered at Claude again. "He talks as if he has tons of money. Let alone to donate,
Bastian immediately changed his facial expression. He no longer showed his frightened face. He was not too stupid, and he had prepared many things for today. Even without Seina's knowledge, Bastian was planning something."Bastian, what should we do?" Seina felt panicked. Moreover, the gaze from Bruce seemed to intimidate her."You don't have to worry. This woman and that man will be eliminated at once." Bastian grinned faintly.Of course, he knew Claude would not let Olivia go alone. He would escort Olivia even if Olivia went out with her friend or cousin. He had proven it before. Until now, Bastian would not come alone."I had wanted to plan this day, so taking Olivia away from here was just a dream." Bastian stared at Bruce's face with a sharp gaze. He held a great grudge. Bruce had been on his side before. But Bruce immediately forgot about him and replaced his master with a new one. Of course, this made Bastian completely unable to accept it easily.Bastian immediately raised his
By this time, Olivia and Seina had arrived at a large shopping centre in the city. They started walking around the shopping centre and looked very happy.Olivia and Seina walked around, looked at several shops, and chose some items. At first, Olivia offered to pay Seina for some of Seina's shopping, but Seina refused."Olivia, I can pay for it myself. And you don't need to bother doing that at all. Didn't I say I have a black card and can pay for it? Even if you want, you can also take what you want, and I will pay for it for you." Seina assured Olivia. Of course, Saina didn't mind paying Olivia's bill because she was sure that after this, she would take Olivia's place as the queen of the Drakena family. And she would get much more than what was spent on Olivia. Meanwhile, Olivia shook her head. "Oh, that's not necessary at all. I'll pay for it myself."Olivia felt happy and thought that Seina had really changed. She only regretted her mother because her mother still thought that Se
Seina was currently feeling very upset. How could it be that after what she did, Claude wasn't tempted by her at all? Claude continued to look at her with a sinister look. And without hesitation, Claude also spoke in a coarse voice to her.But Seina recalled her purpose for coming to this house. And, of course, she would not waste her time until she continued to try to get Claude, and of course, Seina was currently still acting very sweetly."Alright, I'll get out of this room. But don't forget about my offer to you, Claude." Seina spoke in a very soft voice. She even winked her eyes and wanted to attract Claude's attention again. But it was useless because the cloud did not feel tempted by what Seina was doing. The rest of it just felt so disgusted with Seina."Claude, I'm ready to be your second wife. Once again, I will assure you that you will feel fortunate to have two beautiful wives at once. I assure you that you will not regret making me a second wife. I am not only a beautiful
Claude is currently in his office. It was already very late, but Claude couldn't sleep, so he went to his office and did some work.Claude sat in his chair and stared at the computer screen in front of him with a severe face until the door of the room opened, and it was Olivia who came in.Cloude stopped the movement of his fingers that previously looked agile on the computer keyboard. Then he looked at Olivia and spoke, "Olivia, why are you here? Haven't you been sleeping?"Olivia shook her head. Then she walked over to her husband and held Claude's shoulders. Then she spoke, "Why are you here? You should go to bed, Claude. You have been doing a lot of work all day, and it will surely make you feel tired."Claude shook his head. He smiled and spoke, "I had fun doing some of this work, and I don't feel tired at all, so there is no need to worry."Claude held Olivia's hand. She looked at Olivia and looked up slightly. "Olivia, it's late, and you should get some rest now. It's not good
After enjoying some dishes, Seina cast her eyes over every corner of the room. There were several small items that were very beautiful. And she was very sure if those items had a costly price. She even saw small items that came from a diamond, and some of them were also plated with gold. This is a very extraordinary thing. Everyone was admiring everything in front of him.Olivia saw her cousin, who seemed to be interested in all the furniture in the house. So she spoke, "Seina, do you want to look around the house? I could take you around and see everything here." Olivia made an offer.Seina, of course, nodded her head. She was so excited that she said, "Yes, of course I want to. Everything here is so amazing, and I've never seen it before. I'd love it if you'd show me around. Let's go right now." The woman was so enthusiastic. She quickly exited her spot and couldn't wait to see everything inside the Drakena family's main house.Olivia nodded, and they all got up and left the room. T
That night, Seina received a message from Olivia, and she said that Olivia had convinced her husband. And her husband had allowed Seina to come to his house. This, of course, made Seina feel very happy.She looked at her cell phone and was still reading the messages from Olivia. Then she spoke, "Olivia, you're foolish. Look at me coming and snatching your husband very quickly."The next day, Seina was ready early in the morning. She couldn't wait to get to Dracena's house. By now, she had imagined how marvelous Dracena's house would be. She had often heard about it, and some people said that Dracena's main house even exceeded a palace.Then she called Olivia. After the call was answered by Olivia, she immediately spoke, "Olivia, I have prepared. I can't wait to meet you and meet your mother. That way, we can talk. And I think it's going to be a lot of fun." She spoke with great enthusiasm.But of course, the main thing that made her feel impatient was that she wanted to get the action
Seina met Bastian again. They met in a very private place. Of course, that was all Bastian wanted. He didn't want anyone from Claude to know that he had escaped the deserted island.They are currently sitting and facing each other in a dimly lit room. And, of course, since yesterday, Bastian had not shown his true face. He used some fake things to cover his true identity. Because if his true identity got out again and he was seen wandering around in crowded places, of course, it would make him known to Claude again. And Bastian certainly didn't want that.Bastian settled towards Seina, and then he spoke, "Tell me, have you done it very neatly? And make sure that the woman still believes in you." Bastian said in a firm voice."Take it easy. I have done it just as you said. But I'm sick of pretending to be nice to that woman. Because I hate her so much, but fine, to destroy that woman, I will do everything very well." She spoke very confidently.Bastian, who was in front of her, nodde
She had been watching Olivia from a distance. Until the moment when she saw Olivia, who returned alone, Seina smiled with a sly face."Olivia, soon you will get your reward. You will have a life of suffering because I will soon become your husband's wife. And after that, I will ensure you will be wasted." She smiled bitterly.The thought of becoming Claude's wife made Seina's face very eager to destroy Olivia. She had even imagined being able to live like a queen who everyone would serve. And, of course, after that, she would get whatever she wanted just by mentioning it.The woman smiled again. Then she spoke, "Olivia, just wait. You will pay so dearly soon."The woman walked very carefully and stood in front of Olivia again. "Hi, Olivia?" her cousin greeted Olivia very gently.Olivia turned her eyes to stare at the woman who had just arrived. She looked at her with a cold face. Then Olivia looked away and spoke, "Did you come because you want to fight with me again?" Olivia said in
At this time, Saina saw Olivia, who was alone, so she immediately walked to approach Olivia. Olivia, who realized the arrival of her cousin, immediately smiled very kindly. "Hi seina. I'm thrilled to meet you."The woman smiled sarcastically. She knew that right now, whatever Olivia was showing was just a pretense. She hated Olivia so much that even though everything Olivia did looked good, of course, she didn't want to be fooled by Olivia's innocent face."Olivia, how about your current life? Are you spending so much money and enjoying life that you don't care about your big family? Even you have completely forgotten them." Her cousin deliberately mentioned Green's family. And, of course, her cousin knew about the enmity between the Dracena family and their extended family.Olivia watched her cousin. She didn't understand why her cousin was deliberately talking about her extended family. Finally, Olivia understood that maybe her cousin wanted to provoke Olivia's anger.Olivia continu
