Chapter 769


    "Heh. Are you joking, sir? It''s 900 million bucks, and you''re increasing its worth to two billion?"


    The pretty saleswoman was tickled by Fane''s words.


    Another saleswoman walked over after she heard that. "Go out and take a closer look at the


    advertisement outside our store, sir. Is 900 million written there? If the Abyss is worth merely 900


    million, everyone should just sell all their assets to buy it first.


    They’ll be earning big bucks after they get: t!"


    "It''s not 900 million?"


    Frowning, Fane walked out; the two pretty saleswoman tailed after him.


    He looked at the price tag, scanning through the chain of ''0''s right after the digit 9. He silently counted


    the zeroes twice, and shock suddenly seized him. “It''s nine billion! Seems like my mother-inw


    miscounted and missed a zero there!"


    “Why don''t you take a look at our other merchandise, sir? It''s clear that you can afford it, and we carry


    plenty of exquisite nes here. The Heart of the Abyss is definitely not for sale. And it''s not worth


    just 900 million bucks-it’s nine billion!"


    The first saleswoman to have greeted Fane gave a wan smile.


    Although Fane was wearing regr clothing, she noted that he dared to pay two billion bucks. He was


    probably a wealthy man who liked to keep a low profile.


    However, his mother-inw had missed a zero in her calctions, causing him to run into this kerfuffle.


    She believed that he would have given up o n the ne long ago if he knew that it was worth nine


    billion bucks. There was too big of a gap between 900 million and nine billion; that single digit made all


    the difference. No one would spend that much money to buy such an expensive ne.

    That was why Fane would certainly give up on the Heart of the Abyss if she said that. It was way too


    expensive. Even someone from a second-ss aristocratic family would have to think twice before


    buying it.


    "Oh my. Hah! What a coincidence, Fane. What are you doing? Buying jewelry for your wife? A diamond


    ring, perhaps?"


    At this moment, a young man walked in, a beautiful young woman in tow. Several bodyguards trailed


    behind them.


    Fane immediately shed a frosty smile when he recognized the intruder. It was Kelly, the young


    master of the Gold family, and Cecilia Taylor.


    "I''m buying a ne. What diamond ring? I''ll bring my wife over to pick it out herself when we''re both


    free!"


    Fane replied, a mirthless smile twisting his lips.


    "Hah! Take your time!"


    Kelly guffawed before turning to another saleswoman. "Bring out all the expensive diamond rings here,


    as well as the bracelets and earrings and nes and whatnot. I want the entire set!" "Thank you,


    dear! The smile on Cecilia''s face brightened. She lifted her chin slightly, pride etched over her


    expression. "You''re so nice to me, dear. Unlike someone else who doesn''t have money and is too


    embarrassed to bring his wife over to pick out a ring. He''s probably scared that she''ll choose an


    expensive one, and he won''t be able to bring himself to spend the money. It would be so shameful for


    him!"


    "Really? Heh. Then I want to see how much your husband is willing to pay for you, exactly. You''re


    going to wear them during your wedding, right? Aren''t you afraid that no one would even attend your


    wedding, let alone someone to look at it when you wear i t?”


    Fane chuckled after he heard that, casually standing to the side and anticipating the jewelry they would


    pick out.


    "You kidding me? I''m getting married. And what about you? You’re just throwing a birthday party for


    your wife. You''re the one who''ll be crying then!"


    Cecilia rolled her eyes at him, picking up a ring and slipping it onto her finger.
