Chapter 24 Fulfilling Your Conditions!
Before Abigail could continue questioning, her sister sent another voice message, "I'm sending you the official account of the largest jewelry store in Houston. They have all the precious jewelry showcased there, including 'Endless Love'!"
A shared message came through.
Abigail had a faintly bad feeling, but before she could click on it...
"Open up!" Allan said nervously beside him. "Abigail, let's just forget about it. We don't need to indulge that idiot!"
Andy grabbed the phone nonchalantly. "What is there to be afraid of? We'll just open it, and today I will make Ryder get on his knees and bark like a dog!"
The online store information for the jewelry shop appeared, listing various jewelry items.
Among them, at the very top, was a diamond necklace called "Eternal Love" for sale! The selling price was 5 million USD and it was currently sold out!
Andy was taken aback. "There really is a diamond necklace called Eternal Love! It looks exactly like the one on the table!"
"That's impossible!" Abigail snatched the phone and carefully compared the picture of the Eternal Love diamond necklace with the one Ryder had.
Everyone gathered around to observe. The more they looked, the more their faces turned grim. Because the Eternal Love necklace in the picture was exactly identical to the one Ryder had.
Ryder spoke up, "Is there anything else to say now?"
Abigail still couldn't believe it, "It's fake! Your necklace must be fake! Do you have a diamond appraisal certificate?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized, "We almost got deceived by this useless person! Without even a certificate, this diamond necklace is definitely fake!"
Ryder had prepared for this. When he bought this diamond necklace, he had a diamond appraisal certificate, and he even signed his name on it.
He was afraid of losing the certificate, so he took a photo of it. Now it came in handy.
He took out his phone, opened the photo, and showed it to everyone! The diamond appraisal certificate bore the jewelry shop's official seal and Ryder's own signature. The picture was genuine, without any trace of modification!
"So, this is actually a real diamond necklace!?"
"Oh my god, a 5 million dollar necklace!"
"This worthless Ryder really spent 5 million dollars on a diamond necklace?"
In an instant, the entire dining room exploded!
It's important to note that the entire Johnson family's assets only just surpassed 100 million dollars, and the available cash was less than 10 million.
But Ryder unexpectedly spent 5 million to buy Sarah a diamond necklace!
It was truly horrifying!
Andy slammed the table and questioned, "Clark, where did you get so much money from?"
Ryder remained indifferent. "Why do you care?"
Andy was left speechless by the retort. In truth, he really wanted to accuse Ryder of embezzling the family's funds to secretly purchase the diamond necklace.
But the fact was, Ryder never involved himself in any of the family's businesses. Even the subsidiary company that Ernest was in charge of, which was sold off completely, was not worth 3 million dollars.
Accusing Ryder of corruption wouldn't hold up at all.
Karen snatched the diamond necklace, her eyes shining brightly, and murmured, "A 5 million dollar necklace! It's beautiful."
Sarah's mind went blank.
It had been three years since she married him.
The waste of a husband, he gave her a five-million-dollar diamond necklace as soon as he made a move!
This must be a dream! She pinched the back of her hand. Ouch! Where did Ryder get the money from...
Of course, the one who had the hardest time believing this result was Abigail! The diamond necklace was real. It meant that she lost the bet, and she lost to Ryder, the person she hated more than anyone.
Just when things couldn't get any worse, Ryder took the initiative to speak: "Abigail, a bet is a bet, you have to honor it!"
Abigail's mouth twitched violently twice, she couldn't understand how things had turned out like this!
Making her apologize to Sarah in front of so many people and even slapping herself. This kind of humiliation was even more painful than dying!
Abigail deliberately declined: "Ryder, can't you have a bit of foresight? Can't you see that the monthly meeting is about to start? What is your intention to disrupt the progress of the meeting!"
Ryder narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you scared?"
"You're the scared one!" Abigail's chest heaved in anger.
"If you're scared, just admit it. It's nothing. Just a friendly reminder, scroll down the mobile shop info, maybe there will be a surprise!"
"Playing mind games!"
Abigail grumbled unhappily, but her hand still honestly scrolled down the shop info.
Soon, she stopped.
She saw a very familiar necklace, the one that Allan had given her, priced at one million dollars!
Currently on special sale, fifty percent off! Bought for fifty thousand dollars!
Abigail exploded on the spot, questioning Allan: "Didn't you say the necklace was worth two million dollars? How come it's discounted to fifty thousand dollars?"
Allan panicked and didn't know how to explain!
Karen on the opposite side couldn't believe it either, "What? A fifty thousand dollar necklace?"
Her face turned black, and she muttered under her breath with a contorted mouth, "Sam is so unreliable. He almost fooled me!"
Sarah was even more emotionally complicated! Did Ryder know that Sam was buying a necklace to deceive her yesterday?
Thinking about how she had blamed Ryder a little for being so harsh on Sam yesterday, a hint of regret emerged...
As for Abigail, her face was so furious it could distort. She had planned to show off with Allan today, but unexpectedly, she ended up being embarrassed instead.
A ball of anger burned in her chest, and she naturally vented it all on Allan: "You liar! Get out of our the Johnson family!"
"Abigail! Please let me explain!" Allan pleaded.
Abigail continued to throw a tantrum: "Get lost! I only like men who sincerely spend money on me! You're not worthy!"
She even kicked Allan!
Knowing that staying would only be more embarrassing, Allan had to bid farewell and quickly left. as he turned around, he said to Ryder made a threatening gesture and said, "You little brat, you ruined my good reputation, just you wait!"
After Allan left, Abigail sat angrily in her chair while the Lawrence couple consoled her softly.
Grandpa Johnson tried to ease the tension by saying, "Ahem! Let's put an end to this matter and enjoy our meal." However, Ryder showed no signs of stopping and asked, "Abigail! When will you fulfill your bet?"
Abigail, exasperated, slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Ryder with arrogance. She said, "Let me tell you the truth. What will you do if I don't fulfill the bet? A useless person like you, what can you do? Dare to hit me, huh?"
With a provocative gesture, she brought her face close to Ryder's and tauntingly asked, "Do you dare to hit me if I come closer? Do you have the courage for it? Do you? you worthless piece of garbage?"
Before the words even finished, Ryder's hand landed on her face. He remarked, "Since you willingly approached, I guess I have to fulfill your request."
