Chapter 41 James didn't pay attention to their cheeky laugh. He just proceeded to the checkout counter with Sandra. He brought out the necklace and handed it over to the staff in charge. She took it from him and put it on Gemstone Weight, which is used to weigh in carats. The other two sales associates stood by the side to watch, waiting for an appointed time to humiliate James and also to mock Sandra, their colleague, for not listening to them. The staff in charge of the checkout counter, after weighing the price of the necklace, looked at Sandra, “Was there any price tag attached to it?” Sandra nodded, “There was,” she replied, and the staff member let out a short breath, “Hmm….” She only uttered and looked at James, somehow. James ignored her gaze. But her words were signs of humiliation, which he knew but chose not to react to. The staff member packaged the necklace into a nice nylon bag, and after a brief hesitation, she faced James and said, “Are you sure you can

Chapter 43 Maxwell quickly nodded, “He's impersonating someone! Claiming to be the son of Mr. Thomas Crag, the richest businessman in town, but there are no bodyguards guarding him around!” Immediately, Beast heard that he spat in disgust and smirked contemptuously. He looked at James, “Is that true?!” James reluctantly gave a curt nod, and he confidently replied, his voice unwavering, “Yes, I am, and I don't have to go around with bodyguards before you'll know that!” Whack! Beast gave a tight and resounding slap across James' face before he could even realize it. The slap carried so much force that it sent James staggering backward. He almost fell to the ground but was able to hold himself. However, the wrapped necklace fell off his hand. As James forced himself to stand, he felt a hint of blurry stuff inside his eyes as he tried to look at Beast. His cheek was furiously burning, and it hurt painfully! How dare this man slap him like that! He must pay dearly! If it wer

Chapter 45 James lifted his chin in response, and he began to unwrap the necklace. Everyone fixed their gaze on him as he did the unwrapping. A disgusting expression appeared in Grandma Aurora's eyes, thinking James had bought a fake necklace for Evelyn. “It won't exceed a counterfeit,” she blurted out indignantly with disdain. James didn't pay any slight attention to her words. She was just always making a mockery of herself and acting foolish at the same time! “Here, Mom. Do you like it?” James asked after revealing the necklace. Wow! Everyone's mouths flew open in shock. It was a beautiful necklace that glittered, and its glittery nature made it extremely stunning!; Evelyn cupped her mouth in surprise. “For me? It's beautiful! I love it! Hope it didn't cost you a fortune?” “Nay.” James shook his head. “It's just a few bucks. I saw it and it was attractive to the eyes, so I decided to get it for you! And I'm glad you love it.” Evelyn clapped, feeling over the moon a

Chapter 47 “Should I come with my husband?” Olivia's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, “I mean, why? My presence is the one needed and not his, so why should he come with me?” “You both are legally married, right or wrong?” Mary asked, and a hint of a small sarcastic laugh erupted through the speaker, “Why, then, are you sounding like it is a crime to go out with your partner, or do you feel disgusted with him around you?” Olivia's jaw clenched tightly in frustration, and her face was turning red. It has turned out that Mary never had a good intention for calling her, but rather to mock her. Thus, she gave a swift, frustrating response, “Mary, did you call to mock me or what? Because that's what I'm clearly seeing.” “Ah, no! I was…. beside, I didn't ask a bad question that should get you provoked. If your husband isn't useless, then I don't see any reason why you should get mad at me just now!...” Olivia interjected before Mary could continue, “Fine! He's coming with me tom

Chapter 49 Sandra spun around and yelled angrily, “Don't touch me, Jeffrey, or whatever your name is!” Her voice was laced with frustration. “And why do you keep on following me!? I don't like you! So, stop following me about me, and let me be!” Jeffrey had always been on Sandra's neck, trying to make her his girlfriend, but she had turned him down several times. Jeffrey was just a simpleton who went about the street, flirting with ladies, and he had so much interest in Sandra, but she had never heeded him. One of Jeffrey's men laughed sarcastically. “That’s because Jeff loves you! He wants to have you to himself!” Another added shamelessly. “Don't you get it!” Sandra ran her hand through her hair, her face paling with annoyance. “Just go away! I don't want to see any of you around me! Just don't follow me!” She shouted, frustrated. “And as for Jeff, I don't really care about him. He isn't my type!” Jeffery gave a cold smirk, “Come on, Sandra. It has been half a year n
