Chapter 32


    Be''s lips lifted into a grin as she grew confident of her suspicion. "Why keep on grabbing onto something that is not yours?" Be thought she could provoke Ste. She could tell that Ste was not a calm person from the few interactions she had with her. Ste could not hide her jealousy whenever she had any close contact with Keegan. Be thought she would act the same asst time. But, Ste just nced at her indifferently. "If you insist on thinking that way, so be it. So, are you going to buy it?"


    Now, it was Be''s turn to keep a straight face. ''It feels like a scam if I buy it. But, Ste feels so odious as if she''s mocking me if I don''t buy it.''


    Ste seemed to have read her thoughts. She put the bag back into the case, and the moment the cover was about to close, Be stopped her and said, "I''ll buy it!"


    Ste paused and looked up at her. "Pay in full."


    Be gritted her teeth and said, "Don''t worry. You won''t lose a penny." Five million was not a small amount of money. Be went out to take a call and came back after Ste waited in the private room for thirty minutes. Yet, the look on Be''s face when she came in was not pleasant. In the presence of the store owner, the two had a deal. Be transferred five million to Ste''s bank ount on the spot.


    When Be signed the deal, she drew out her wrist from her dress. Then, a familiar diamond bracelet on her wrist caught Ste''s attention. The model and workmanship were very simr to the one she gave to Keegan in the past. When Be was done signing, she noticed Ste''s attention on her wrist. She lifted her wrist with a smile and said, "This bracelet was a gift from Keegan back in the year I debuted. Ste, are your pieces of jewelry from him all diamond too? Do you know what''s the reason?"


    Ste paused, and her fingers slowly curled up. The look on her face indicated that Be''s guess was correct. Yet, Ste did not want to know the reason behind it. She even had the urge to escape from hearing it. However, Be did not give her the chance to escape and mocked, "His knowledge of jewelry alles from me, and my favorite jewels are diamonds."


    Ste''s nails dug into her palm. Every word from Be was a humiliation at her ecstatic response to the gifts. The romance she thought she had was just Keegan projecting the shadow of other women on her. "Ste, Keegan doesn''t love you. If it wasn''t for his grandma opposing us being together back then, do you think you''ll have the chance to marry him? But, it''s different now, Cordelia is old and has no control anymore. The Kane family will be Keegan''s. What do you think will happen to you by then?" Be raised the corner of her lips. "If I were you, I would leave on my own. At least this way, I could leave with dignity. It''s a shame to be kicked out of the house."


    "Keegan and I were already married when you debut, right?"


    "Huh?" Be did not get it for a moment when Ste said that out of nowhere.


    "Doesn''t that mean that every penny he spent on you was our joint property? In that case, I am legally entitled to im it back."


    Ste let out augh. "It looks like you don''t understand that we are under the transaction of private goods. And, it has nothing to do with the market order. I only need to pay the value-added tax if this transaction ispleted. It''s not illegal or against the rules. Besides, values are just references for the buyers, yet it''s my choice for the price of the item since it belongs to me. You could call off the deal if you


    think it''s unreasonable."


    "Why you-" Be''s face turned green with anger. She was even more furious when she saw Ste being calm andposed. She sneered after thinking about it. "Ste, you increased the price on purpose and refused to sell the bag to me after realizing that I was the buyer, right?"


    Ste did not speak and gave her a cold stare.


    Be''s lips lifted into a grin as she grew confident of her suspicion. "Why keep on grabbing onto something that is not yours?" Be thought she could provoke Ste. She could tell that Ste was not a calm person from the few interactions she had with her. Ste could not hide her jealousy whenever she had any close contact with Keegan.
