Chapter 191
People with a passion for antiques naturally felt a sense of kinship towards those who appreciated their value.
The shopkeeper, delighted, took out the emerald pendant and handed it to Flora.
Holding the pendant in her hand, Floro felt waves of warmth seeping into her skin as if it could erase all fatigue.
Truly a fine piece of emerald.
“Shopkeeper, I was wondering.
Just as Flora was about to inquire about the price, she heard Yvonne declare, “We’ll take this emerald pendant!”
Flora frowned. Yvonne’s continuous provocations were becoming imitating.
Selene was also losing her patience. Yvonne’s childish tactics were simply beneath her.
Seeing Flora’s displeased expression, Yvonne felt even more thrilled. After all, with her wealth, she enjoyed thwarting Flora’s desires.
Flora eyed her, squinting. “Yvonne, are you doing this on purpose?”
“So what if I am?” Yvonne wore a smug expression.
Flora licked her teeth and remained silent. She didn’t dwell on the pendant and instead turned her attention to other items.
Flora: “Let me have a look at that vase…”
Yvonne: “Shopkeeper! Well take that one!”
Flora: “That bracelet looks pretty good too.
Yvonne: “Shopkeeper, well also take the bracelet!”
Yvonne was willing to pay double the price for anything Flora showed interest in
Initially, the shopkeeper was unimpressed by Yvonne’s behavior, but his smile grew wider as time went on. He was more convinced of Flora’s expertise.
The items she pretended to be interested in later were all fakes or of infenor quality. She was intentionally misleading Yvonne.
Given his disdain for Yvonne, the shopkeeper was pleased with Flora’s actions. Not only had she tricked Yvonne, but she also helped him sell a bunch of unsellable items.
“Enough! No more!” Selene realized Yvonne had almost maxed out her card and finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She grabbed Yvonne. “Have you had your fun? We came here to choose a gift for Josiah, Look at what you’ve bought!”
Although Selene wasn’t knowledgeable about antiques, she came from a distinguished family and had seen numerous valuable items. She could tell that the quality of the emerald pieces was mediocre.
Yvonne had overpaid for these items, making her a big sucker.
Only then did Yvonne realize how much she had bought. The five million from her dad, plus the three million she already had on her card, were almost all gone….
Flora looked at her with a smile. “Oh, Miss Yvonne, you’re running out of money, are you?”
Yvonne snorted coldly. The Brimer family is the second most prominent in Cedarvale, but the Irvings are just a minor family. If you didn’t shameless hook up with Connor, the Irvings would have been outcast long ago!”
“The wild tales and scandals of Wafr are still all over the internet. The Irvings maintain our integrity, something you can’t compare to…”
“You!”
Yvonne was so angry she wanted to lash out, but Flora calmly placed a counterfeit vase in her arms. “Here you go. You just bought this for six hundred thousand.”
After speaking, Flora looked towards an emerald pendant in the innermost display case. “Sit please take that out and wrap it up for mo.”
She had her eye on this pendant from the start. Although its quality wasn’t as good as the first one, she realized that with proper care, it would be more nurturing than the previops pendant
Upon receiving the pendant, joy was unmistakable in Flora’s eyes.
Yvonne suddenly had an epiphany, realizing Flora had played her.
What she truly wanted was this pendant, while all those previous items were just to deceive her into buying!
Just then, a couple walked in and couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing the pile of items in Yvonne’s arms.
