Chapter 1018
The Heart of the Ocean, valued at almost one hundred million dollars, definitely shouldn't be on this lady.
Could it be a replica?
Bryan suppressed all kinds of speculations in his mind and smiled gently. "With this dress, you should pair it with these earrings and bracelets. Do you like them?"
He handed over two gift boxes.
Nicole's breath hitched again. Wasn't it enough that Bryan gave her a dress? Now he was giving her jewelry too. Could Bryan have fallen in love with her at first sight?
Nicole opened the boxes and was immediately dazzled by the brilliance of the diamonds.
She said in disbelief, "These earrings look very valuable, at least a million dollars, right?"
Bryan was silent. A million dollars might only buy the diamonds on the earrings.
Bryan said lightly, "Nearly."
"That's too expensive!" Nicole quickly pushed the boxes back. "Mr. Lumi, you've already spent a lot on this dress. I can't accept anything else from you."
Although she really wanted the jewelry, she wanted to leave a good impression on Bryan even more.
She clutched her chest, her heart pounding wildly. For the first time, she understood what it meant to be crushed.
From the moment Bryan called out "Miss Jenkins" and she turned to see him walking towards her as if stepping on starlight, she was captivated.
"Take them. They're not expensive," Bryan said calmly. "I have no use for them. Accepting them would actually help me get rid of this trouble."
Nicole was a bit dumbfounded. How wealthy must Bryan be?
"Thank you, Mr. Lumi."
Nicole put on the entire set of jewelry in front of Bryan.
Bryan nodded. "Miss Jenkins, this jewelry suits you well. Let's go back to the banquet hall."
Bryan and Nicole walked towards the banquet hall, one after the other.
At the end of the hallway, Owen quietly peeked out, clapping his hands in satisfaction, smiling happily.
When Camilla returned to the apartment, it was pitch dark inside. Micah wasn't there, and neither was Nicole.
She went to the bathroom and saw herself in the mirror. Her lips were redder without lipstick than if they had been.
Ivan was really fierce, as if he wanted to devour her.
Camilla splashed her face with cold water and admonished herself in the mirror, "Camilla, Ivan is a married man. Stay away from him!"
After saying that, Angela's image appeared in her mind.
Angela really made her heart ache. For some reason, Camilla also thought of Cherry, whom she had run into on the street that day.
Their faces appeared in her mind simultaneously, and Camilla suddenly realized that the two girls looked somewhat alike.
Angela had a melancholic aura, while Cherry was a lively and cute little girl. Angela had a mother, while Cherry didn't have a mother. Both made her heart ache.
After Camilla finished her shower, Micah came back. He reeked of alcohol but was still somewhat sober.
"Micah, how did it go?" Camilla asked as she walked out.
Micah rubbed his temples. "The people from the Winston Group were very kind. I felt so guilty that I drank a bit too much. I'm going to my room to sleep for a while."
Just as he stood up, the door to the living room opened.
