Chapter 1464


    Fleur sped along, with her bodyguards trailing behind in a state of panic. Eventually, she pulled over at


    the entrance of DL Mall.


    She hadn’t informed anyone in advance, so no one was there to clear the area or wee her.


    Lena stood at the opulent store’s entrance, uncertain of what to do.


    “Go inside!” Fleur urged impatiently. “Everything in there is a limited edition. Pick a ring. Don’t worry


    about the price.”


    Lena’s eyes widened.


    “Oh no, consider the price!” Fleur thought for a moment. “We can’t let them think my family can’t afford


    a ring. Go in and choose the most expensive one, got it?”


    Lena was rendered speechless.


    “Okay, okay, that’s the n!” Fleur said, turning away. “Select one. I’ll be back after using the


    restroom.”


    “Mrs. Hamerton—”


    Fleur hurriedly left before Lena could respond.


    Lena surveyed the store, marveling at its sophistication. They sold diamonds there, and the store itself


    was like a colossal, gleaming diamond that left one dazzled.


    The exterior alone hinted at outrageously high prices.


    The store was spacious, with more employees than customers, and even the floors were gilded.


    Lena took a deep breath and contemted calling Chris but hesitated, fearing Fleur’s reaction. She


    summoned her courage and entered the store.


    Yet, no one came forward to greet her.


    The sales assistants seemed uninterested in helping her because of her in attire. They nced at


    her with indifference and remained expressionless.


    Lena approached the counter, where rows of sparkling diamond rings glistened before her.


    “May I…” She gestured to one of them. “Try this one?”


    No one responded.


    She looked up and saw four or five people standing nearby.


    “Can I try this?”


    “What?” One of the sales assistants appeared annoyed by her persistence. She asked with a frown,


    “Which one?”


    Lena pointed again. “This one?”


    “Oh, that!” Instead of fetching it, the sales assistant remained where she was. “It’s a five-carat diamond


    from South Moaniain, exclusively designed by a famous European designer. Plus, it’s a customized


    piece! Are you still interested, miss?”


    Lena detected the sarcasm in her tone and smiled.


    If the sales assistants had been kind, she might have changed her mind about trying it.


    “Yes, please let me try it,” she said, locking eyes with the sales assistant. “I’m sure a high-end store like


    this wouldn’t refuse a legitimate request from a customer, right?”


    “Are you certain, miss?” The sales assistant scoffed, her arrogance unwavering. “I already told you it’s


    an exclusive design. Don’t try it if you’re not serious about buying it. We won’t be responsible if you


    damage it.”


    Suddenly, a sharp voice interjected, “What kind of ring is so expensive that it can’t even be tried on?”


    Almost all the sales assistants turned toward the source of the voice, their expressions changing to


    shock in unison.


    “Madam Fleur!”


    The manager rushed over, bowing deeply with an exaggerated smile that seemed painful. “Madam


    Fleur! Why didn’t you inform us of your visit? I would have personally weed you!”


    “Ha! Why would I bother you?” Fleur replied sarcastically, revealing her less gracious side. “You guys


    are keeping my girl waiting while she’s trying to look at a ring. It appears this store has be rather


    haughty.


    “I suppose you no longer require our family’s preferential treatment? Very well, I’ll speak to my nephew.


    Starting next month, you’ll pay double the rent!”


    “Please, no!” The manager paled with fright and groveled. He was eager to appease her. “I apologize,


    Madam Fleur. It’s my fault for my sales assistants’ misbehavior. I’m not sure what thisdy did to be


    offended like this. I…”


    The sales assistant trembled, her head bowed, saying nothing.


    Fleur was no pushover. She approached the ss disy and turned to Lena. “Is this the ring you’d


    like to try?”


    “Yes.” Lena nodded.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    “It’s so tiny!” Fleur rolled her eyes at the manager and sales assistants. “Although it’s small, bring it out


    since my girl wants to try it!”


    “Yes!” The flustered sales assistant attempted to open the case a few times without sess.


    The manager scolded her, and she stood aside, on the verge of tears. She regretted her misjudgment


    of Lena. Who would have thought such an unassuming person was with Madam Fleur?


    “Forget it!” Fleur waved impatiently. “It’s just a five-carat ring. What’s the big deal? Our Lena doesn’t


    care about it!”


    “Yes, yes!” The manager nodded fervently and bowed. “We can tell she’s exceptional. She certainly


    deserves the best!”


    “So?” Fleur fixed her gaze on him. “What do you have for her?”


    “Right this way, Madam Fleur, miss!” The manager extended his hand. “Please have a seat in the VIP


    room. I’ll have our most prized pieces brought to you immediately!”


    Fleur felt more at ease now. She instinctively reached for Lena’s arm, but Lena appeared


    absentminded.


    “What are you doing?” Fleur asked, pointing at her arm. “Come here!”


    Lena was bewildered, thinking, ‘Does she want me to… hold her hand? Doesn’t she think lowly of me?’


    “Hey!” Fleur scowled at her. “Has your mind gone nk?”


    “Mrs. Hamerton, I—”


    “Come on!” Fleur took the initiative, taking Lena’s hand and tucking it into her arm.

    Then she stood upright and strolled happily into the VIP room.


    The manager showcased several of the store’s most prized pieces, including diamonds, sapphires,


    rubies, and emeralds, each asrge as a pigeon’s egg.


    Lena felt overwhelmed as she looked at them.


    Fleur insisted on Lena trying them all. The most astonishing moment came when she simultaneously


    had pigeon egg-sized gems on all five fingers. Lena had never worn anything so extravagant.


    Ultimately, Fleur selected a ring with arge diamond, a price tag that would surely earn her prestige.


    Satisfied, she handed it to Lena and instructed her to put it on.


    The manager escorted them all the way to their car, bowing repeatedly and even offering to help with


    the seatbelt.


    “Mrs. Hamerton—”


    “Come with me!” Fleur didn’t give Lena a chance to speak and started the car.


    Lena was bewildered. Where were they heading now?


    Fleur nced at therge diamond ring on Lena’s finger and smiled contentedly. “We must show them
