Chapter 169 He Used the Most Brutal and Direct Way to Rescue Her (1)
Kennedy said, "I sold this bracelet by myself, so I know it well."
She turned to Pearl, "May I also have a look at your bracelet?"
Pearl sneered, thinking Kennedy was just causing trouble. She held out her hand, "Take a good look! It's a rare pink diamond worth millions."
Kennedy examined it and smirked, "This is synthetic. A real diamond has a pure white, strong luster. This is just colored moissanite; the light it refracts is rainbow-colored."
Some ladies who knew Kennedy laughed at Pearl, "Kennedy's a jewelry expert with decades of experience. No one knows jewelry better."
The mood shifted. Jessica looked at Jack, shocked. Had he really bought her an expensive pink diamond as a birthday gift?
"Oh my God," she whispered. She'd thought it was just a synthetic diamond and wore it casually.
The ballroom went silent, all eyes on Pearl.
Pearl, feeling the room's disdain, looked at Jack and saw his guilt. She realized he had bought the expensive bracelet, but it was for Jessica, not her. She felt humiliated, flaunting a fake bracelet and being laughed at.
Rage took over. She stormed toward Jack, scratching his face. "Pearl, are you crazy?" Jack yelled, holding his face in pain. The room erupted in chaos.
Pearl grabbed his clothes and screamed, "Everyone, listen! This Mr. Kelly tricked me into sex, got me pregnant, then he and Jessica pushed me down the stairs, causing a miscarriage! He said this bracelet was compensation, but it's fake!"
The crowd gasped.
Jessica's mind went blank; if she could, she would immediately leave this place to avoid further humiliation by association with them.
But Pearl wasn't done.
Jack tried to escape, but Pearl clung to him, shouting, "Look at these two! Jessica caused my miscarriage and is wearing the bracelet that should be mine. She even sent her grandma to prison!"
She grabbed a glass of champagne and splashed it on Jessica's face.
Jack snapped and slapped Pearl hard.
