Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Soul Torture
Steve Price raised an eyebrow, “Miss Wendleton has bad hearing, so let me say it again, you and your dog... are not allowed inside!”
Upon hearing this, Sara Wendleton unbelievably stepped back, her face ashen. She hadn’t heard clearly just now, but Steve Price’s words lingered in her ears, not giving her room to misunderstand.
Caleb Mamet’s eyes darkened, falling on the grey-blue trench coat, “Pack it up.”
He then led Xaviera Evans away, holding her hand. Xaviera smiled at the man in front of her, suddenly feeling a warmth and coolness in her hand.
Xaviera looked down and saw Caleb slip a transparent, warm jade into her hand. Although she didn’t know much about jade, she knew that this piece must be valuable, as it seemed to have been seen at an auction before.
Moreover, someone paid one hundred million dollars for this warm jade at that time.
“This jade?”
“It’s for you.”
Caleb held her hand, his face full of tenderness, “In a few days, I’ll have this jade polished and made into a pendant for you to wear.”
Xaviera was stunned for a few seconds and said helplessly, “This jade is worth a fortune, it’s better to keep it for collection. Wearing it on my neck every day will be too conspicuous, won’t it?”
Caleb raised an eyebrow, “Conspicuous?”
Xaviera nodded her head, was that wrong?
“You said I’m the person you love the most, but why is it only today that you give me this jade? Does that mean the person you loved the most wasn’t me before?”
Caleb: “...”
The touching atmosphere instantly dissipated.
Steve Price was shocked and thought, President Mamet is finished!
“Let’s go, I’ll take you shopping.”
...
Meanwhile, at the Jewelry House in Libanan city center.
As the name suggests, this shop, named Jewelry House, sells various jade objects and also designs custom jade pieces for wealthy clientele.
The antique-style courtyard, the garden with small bridges and flowing water, looked like a scene from ancient times, resembling an ancient wealthy family’s residence from TV dramas. No one could tell it was a jade store from the outside.
Anna Campbell and a group of friends entered the door at this moment, seeing Sara Wendleton angrily walking over and softly asking, “Sara, what’s wrong?”
Sara’s face was full of anger, “Cousin, it’s that adopted daughter of your family, she’s so arrogant!”
Anna Campbell’s eyes flashed with sinister intention, then made a feigned expression of surprise, “You mean, Xaviera? She bullied you?”
“That bitch, spending the Campbell family’s money and daring to fight with me for things. Cousin, she even ordered people not to let me enter that store. She’s just an adopted daughter yet dares to bully me!”
