Chapter 249


    “Oh, there’s nothing wrong with it.” The shop attendant was puzzled by J’s question.


    Perhaps sensing that she had been a bit impolite just now by staring at J’s ring, she waved her


    hands in dismissal and put on a smile. “I’m really sorry for staring at your ring just now, ma’am. I


    shouldn’t have done that. I’ve only seen photos of that ring before. This is the first time I’ve seen it in


    real life. It is indeed mesmerizing.”


    J frowned. She couldn’t understand what the shop attendant was talking about.


    ‘This is just a fake blue diamond ring. Why is she so curious about it?’ she wondered.


    Upon noticing the confusion on J’s face, the shop attendant asked hesitantly, “Don’t you know the


    origin of that ring, ma’am?”


    J nced at Ethan subconsciously.


    He was the one who gave her the ring. She didn’t think that there was any interesting background story


    about a fake ring.


    Thus, she shook her head and said, “I don’t.”


    Suddenly, Ethan faked coughing.


    “Ethan, are you okay? Is your throat sore?” J was worried about him, so she patted him on the


    back and handed him a ss of water. “Why are you suddenly coughing?” she asked.


    ‘He was fine just now,’ she thought.


    The shop attendant noticed that Ethan had been coughing ever since she started talking. She wanted


    to ingratiate herself with him, so she said, “We have some cough medicine in the store. Would you like


    some, sir?”


    Ethan waved his hand, picked up the ss of water on the table, and took a sip.


    He had been winking at the shop attendant, and he even faked several coughs, yet she still didn’t seem


    to understand his hint.


    The woman wasn’t Ethan’s employee, so she probably couldn’t understand his hints.


    Moreover, Ethan couldn’t say anything to her in front of J, so he was getting more and more


    anxious.


    The shop attendant took a look at J’s ring again and adjusted her tone. “The blue diamond on your


    ring is called the ‘Ocean’. It’s the most expensive and most famous jewelry in our brand’s history. It has


    an extensive history and high value. I heard that someone bought it at a high price a long time ago.


    Never did I imagine that I’d see the ring’s owner here today. Since you have it, you must be a very


    important customer,” the shop attendant exined respectfully.


    Upon hearing that, J was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, she asked tentatively, “Are you


    sure this isn’t just a fake?”


    She couldn’t believe that the blue diamond on her ring was the real “Ocean” that the shop attendant


    just told her about. ‘How could Ethan afford the real one? We’re poor!’ she thought to herself.

    Aside from that, J had seen several fakes that Ethan had gotten from his friends. Because of the


    development of counterfeiting technology, it was hard to tell that they were fakes.


    But to her surprise, the shop attendant shook her head and smiled. “Ma’am, you must be kidding. I’ve


    been at this job for years, and I know our brand’s most famous product all too well. I’m more than


    certain that your ring is the real deal. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and fine a professional jewelry


    appraiser to check it for you.”


    After hearing the exnation, J was stunned. The shop attendant sounded so sure that the blue


    diamond on her ring was real.


    Thinking back on Ethan’s weird behavior; his odd winking and sudden burst of coughs; her eyes


    widened in shock. She whipped her head to stare at Ethan as a mountain of questions built up in her


    head.
