Chapter 1078 A Gift From Rita


    The pair arrived at the jewelry store. Even though it was located on the most bustling street, it was


    decorated inly. The mahogany door revealed a hint of elegance.


    Nicole helped Rita ascend the stairs. The moment the duo came into view, the owner enthusiastically


    greeted them.


    "What brings you here, Old Mrs. Gould? It''s been a while!" The owner ttered them with a wide smile


    on his face.


    Rita pulled Nicole to the counter and introduced her to the owner, "I remember you telling me that you


    have a rainbow bracelet in your store. This is my granddaughter. She''s getting married soon, so I


    brought her here to see the bracelet. I''ll buy it if she likes it."


    The owner nced at Nicole before turning his attention to Rita and smiled. "This must be Miss Nicole.


    I was told she''s marrying a Gardner, isn''t she? The entire country knows about the news."


    "Enough talk. Let us have a look at the bracelet. You have a deal if she likes it." Even though Rita was


    old, she still behaved like a child.


    The owner nodded before turning around to reach for his safe box. He took out a small box from the


    back of the safe box and presented it to Rita before exining, "This is a rare bracelet. Therefore, it''s


    slightly more expensive than the other goods."


    Rita red at him before replying, "What are you implying? Do you think I can''t afford it?"


    He quickly shook his head upon hearing that. "I don''t, Old Mrs. Gould. Nobody will ever doubt your


    spending power. However, the bracelet is indeed a little pricier than my other goods. Many customers


    were interested in this piece of jewelry, but they thought the bracelet wasn''t worth this much. Thus, they


    ended up leaving without purchasing it."


    Rita took the box and opened it before presenting it to Nicole, thereafter asking for her opinion. "Take a


    look at this, Nicole. What do you think?"


    Nicole looked down at the box. She had doubts when she listened to the store owner''s exnation


    before seeing the bracelet herself. Now that she had the opportunity, she found that the bracelet was


    made of seven natural gemstones.


    Moreover, a jadeite cabochon shining in brilliant green was mounted in the center, which exined its


    price. Each gemstone on the bracelet cost a fortune, not to mention there were seven on the bracelet.


    Besides, the stones were polished to the same size. A tinum chain carved with antique patterns


    connected them all.


    It wasn''t extravagant but was very eye-catching. Everyone would fall for it at first nce.


    "You''re right. It''s not an easy task to polish the gemstones into the same size and without inclusions,"


    Nicole remarked. After working in the fashion industry for years, she was no stranger to jewelry. She


    considered the bracelet in her palm to be among the top jewelry she ever came across.


    "All right. We''ll take this one. I always knew there was such a bracelet in the store, and I thought it


    would suit you. I can''t wait to see you wearing it during your wedding." As Nicole had shown interest in


    the bracelet, Rita handed her card over to the store owner without hesitation.


    Since she was so ready to pay, the owner took the card and checked it out on the POS machine. She


    didn''t even ask about the price!


    After Rita paid for the bracelet, she put the bracelet around Nicole''s wrist. She studied the bracelet


    through her narrowed eyes and was pleased by what she saw. "The bracelet sets off your ivory skin.


    I''m not bragging, but you can always count on my taste."


    Nicole epted Rita''s kind gesture without resistance as the elderly woman put the bracelet around


    Nicole''s wrist.

    The pair left after Rita paid for the bracelet. Tilting her head, Nicole studied the joyful expression on


    Rita''s face before asking in a soft voice, "Old Mrs. Gould, did youe all this way only to buy the


    bracelet for me?"


    Rita nodded. "That''s right. I''ve been thinking about buying it for you since the owner told me about the


    bracelet. Consider it as a wedding gift from me."


    Nicole said nothing more. Instead, she shed Rita a grateful smile. "Thank you, Old Mrs. Gould."


    The two made small talk as they walked over to the car when a group of people showed up from


    nowhere. Before the duo could react, the men already lunged at Nicole.
