Chapter 70 Happy Education: The Adulterer 3
However, before Rou's hand could reach Jessica, Grace grabbed her and lifted her up behind her.
Instantly, Rou cried out in pain. Tears streamed down uncontrollably. "It hurts so much."
"It hurts so much, you crazy woman, let me go."
Grace looked coldly at her. "Now you know it hurts, but you had no hesitation when you charged at me just now."
"Let me go, I'm Gabriel's sister."
Rou continued to shout, showing no signs of remorse.
Grace tightened her grip, causing Rou to cry out in pain again. "Let me go, or I won't spare you."
"Is that so?" Grace sneered. "I'd love to see how you won't spare me."
"Don't think just because you're Gabriel's sister, even if you were his real sister, I wouldn't be afraid. You better remember today. If you dare lay a hand on Jessica again, believe me, I'll break this arm of yours."
Rou harbored hatred in her heart, but Diana desperately shook her head at her. Her message was clear,: to give in quickly and suffer less.
Finally, unable to bear the pain any longer, Rou reluctantly relented, "I understand, please let me go, it hurts so much."
"Speak up, I didn't hear you."
Rou was almost driven to madness by anger but reluctantly followed Grace's orders. She raised her voice, shouting, "I was wrong, please let me go." Grace released her grip, and Rou's arm dropped limply.
Rubbing her sore arm, Rou pushed Diana's wheelchair towardstoward the counter. "Diana, let's ignore them and go pick out some rings."
"Okay." Diana nodded, smiling gently, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.
This acting , it was easy for people to believe.
As soon as they arrived at the counter, the clerk brought out several rings, but neither of them found any they liked.
At that moment, the clerk introduced a very unique and expensive ring with a very innovative design. Both of them immediately found it appealing.
Grace looked at it, a faint smile on her lips.
Good, they had fallen into the trap that had been set.
Jessica had originally thought that this farce was over and was about to leave when Grace grabbed her arm and whispered, "Jessica, don't rush, the most exciting part is yet to come."
"What do you mean?"
Jessica looked at the counter, recalling the scene where Grace had talked to the clerk earlier, and suddenly she understood everything.
The clerk introduced the ring in front of them as if it were the epitome of unique love, shining brightly.
Then, the clerk personally put it on Diana's hand while wearing gloves.
Diana looked at the ring on her fingerhand, unable to take her eyes off it, completely happy.
Especially when she saw the dazzling light refracting from the diamond, her heart fluttered even more, and she couldn't bear to take it off.
She raised her hand, looking at it from left to right, then nodded decisively, making her decision on the spot, "Okay, I'll take this one."
"Very well, Miss. Please wait a moment, I will create the invoice for you and wrap it up," the clerk said happily.
"You don't need to wrap it," Diana said, "I'll just wear it directlynow."
The clerk instantly smiled like a flower, "Very well, Miss. I will create the invoice right away."
Soon, the clerk returned with the store's receipt.
Diana handed over her card, but for several minutes, the clerk stood beside the card machine without moving.
After several failed attempts, she walked up to Diana, still smiling, "Msr. Bush, I'm sorry, but there isn't enough balance on this card. Do you have any other cards?"
"Why would I need another card?" Diana's lips trembled, she could hardly believe it.
There were was over more than two million hundred thousand dollars in this card, her secret fund that she had saved up for all these years.
If it wasn't for buying this ring, she would never have considered using it.
"How much is this ring? Show me the invoice," she demanded.
The clerk immediately handed the invoice to Diana.
When she saw the amount of one million dollars on it, her eyes blurred, and she felt dizzy.
Oh my god, one million dollars.
It was actually one million dollars.
For just one ring, how could it be so expensive?
She never expected that this ring in front of her would cost so much, her budget was no more than five hundred thousand dollars.
But in this situation, if she said no, wouldn't it be too embarrassing and disadvantageous?
Diana bit her lip, regretting her decision just now.
The American expert in Chinese to English translation and best-selling American author had a sense of regret for not asking about the price beforehand, which would have spared them from this embarrassment.
Especially when they noticed Jessica and the other woman shopping next to them, Diana became even more determined not to be outdone by them.
She had to buy this ring, no matter the cost.
No matter how great the cost, she was determined to purchase it.
"Some people, if they can't afford the ring, should just keep their pockets empty instead of forcefully buying it," Grace intentionally said slowly.
Jessica laughed and deliberately called out to her, "Diana, if you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you. Don't worry, the interest rate will definitely be lower than the bank's."
The two of them, one mocking and one assisting.
Diana was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
She bit her lip and clenched her hands tightly. "I won't trouble you. I can buy this ring myself."
"Alright then, we won't meddle anymore."
Soon, Diana looked at Rou and softly asked, "Rou, how much money do you have?"
Rou hesitated for a while before answering, "I don't have much money. Diana, this ring is really expensive. Do you really want to buy it?"
"I think it's better to leave buying a ring like this to my brother."
On the surface, this statement was for Diana's sake, but in reality, Rou was reluctant to spend her money.
Although she was from The Walton Family, since DadDad passed away, the mother and daughter had been running low on money, relying only on the stock dividend from The Walton Family as their only source of income.
Although that sum of money was still relatively large, neither she nor MomMom had jobs, and they had big expenses in their daily lives. They couldn't afford to miss out on designer bags and clothes. They truly didn't have much money left.
The reason why she got close to Diana in the first place was because she thought Diana would marry Gabriel, thereby relying on this relationship to stabilize her position in The Walton Family and gain benefits.
Unexpectedly, Jessica ruined everything, which made Rou deeply resentful towardstoward her.
But now that Diana had spoken, she naturally couldn't refuse.
"I have to buy this ring today, no matter what," Diana said.
She then looked at Rou and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, it's fine."
"There's no inconvenience, Diana. Where did you get that idea? Why wouldn't I be willing? It's just that I only have $250,000 on hand, and even with your money, it's only enough for less than half. We're still far off."
Diana furrowed her brows.
She thought hard for a few minutes, suddenly her expression relaxed, and she had an idea.
Immediately, she dialed a phone number.
