Chapter 434 A Scumbag

They arrived at a luxury goods store, which William rarely visited. The brand's staff used to deliver watches to his house and let him choose personally, and tailored suits were made for him in his place.

However, Vicky relished the act of browsing in person rather than having items delivered to her doorstep. She derived greater pleasure from personally selecting goods at various storefronts, savoring the bustling ambiance of shopping.

"William, I'll buy things later and use my card. You don't need to buy for me," Ava said.

Goods here were very expensive. If William bought them for her, it would cost a lot of money. After all, they were in a fake marriage, and she couldn't let him spend money for her so extravagantly.

William said, "Don't worry about these things with me. Even though we are in a fake marriage, as a token of gratitude, it's nothing for me to buy you some things."

"But the items here are very expensive. I can't let you spend too much money."

"For me, it's not expensive. Besides, if I have no spending record at all, my dad will also be suspicious."

"Well..." Ava thought for a moment. "Alright, but don't buy me anything too expensive."

"Ava, don't think about saving money for William. He has so much money he can't spend it all. By the way, William hasn't bought you a ring yet, has he?"

Ava wasn't wearing any rings.

"Yeah, Ava, I haven't bought you a ring yet. Pick one you like. I'll buy it for you. It's necessary."

A ring was imperative. Even in a fake marriage, Ava had to wear it, so she nodded.

They entered a jewelry store, where the staff warmly greeted them and introduced different styles of rings.

Ava didn't have the mood to choose one she liked. She randomly pointed at one, but Vicky kept chattering beside her, saying this ring wasn't good and that one wasn't pretty. Ava's selections were repeatedly vetoed by Vicky, resulting in a time-consuming and prolonged ordeal.

Just then, a voice came from not far away. "Mr. Mitchell, how about this ring? It can adjust freely and is convenient for any finger size."

Upon hearing Mr. Mitchell, Ava was stunned.

Unintentionally, She turned her head to take a glance. Hearing the surname Mitchell, Ava involuntarily associated it with Alexander.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she indeed saw Alexander.

The staff was introducing a ring to Alexander.

Alexander shook his head, indicating it wasn't suitable. The staff enthusiastically introduced another one, but Alexander was picky and dissatisfied with all the options.

William also saw Alexander, his brows furrowed.

How could they encounter him in a place like this?

William was somewhat troubled. He knew Ava couldn't let go of Alexander. Every time she saw him, she would be upset.

Vicky saw Alexander, and her eyes lit up. 'He's so handsome!'

Ava didn't expect to meet Alexander here. For a moment, she didn't know how to face him, so she immediately avoided eye contact.

Originally, Alexander wanted to pretend he hadn't seen her, but he happened to see Ava and William picking out rings together, with another woman beside them, whom he didn't recognize. It made him unhappy.

Noticing that Alexander was staring at Ava, William directly stood in front of Ava, blocking Alexander's view, his eyes full of vigilance.

Vicky noticed something was wrong. "William, do you know him? He's so handsome."

"What's the use of being handsome? He's just a scumbag," William said bluntly, not afraid of Alexander overhearing.
