Chapter 14


    What?!Kingsley’s words stumped Rosalind so much that her voice went up one octave. “Sir, mind I


    remind you that the total price of these nine rings goes up to fifty million!”“Fifty million; got it. Wrap them


    up then.”“Wrap… Wrap them up?” Rosalind’s face was beyond grim at this point. “Sir, we work closely


    with the police here. If you’re just causing trouble, I’m going to call the police over.”With that, she went


    to the door and called out, “Miss Sheffield, we have someone buying nine of our best rings in one go!


    Can you pleasee and deal with this?”What?!The entire jewelry atelier stirred upon hearing


    Rosalind’s words, and instantly, all the customers and staff gathered around, wanting to see for


    themselves who in the world could afford such arge spend.However, upon seeing Kingsley and his


    beyond-average attire, everyone began booing invariably.“Pfft, I was thinking there’s really a local


    tyrant spending big bucks here. Who’d have thought it’s just a stinkin’ pleb.”“Pretentious b*stard. I bet


    he can’t even afford one!”“He’s definitely just boasting in front of thedies. He’ll be gobsmacked once


    the billes!”Cecilia’s face turned grimmer by the second under the crowd’s scoffs.As the daughter of


    the affluent Larson Family, when had she ever been in such a humiliating situation?!“Reene, what’s


    wrong with your brother? Isn’t he just making a fool of himself?!”She was on pins and needles, having


    toe to terms with a judgy crowd.If Reene weren’t her friend, she would’ve long walked out the


    door!Reene, on the other hand, was flushed with humiliation, reproaching, “Kingsley, what in the world


    are you trying to do? This is not a ce for you to screw around!”“But I’m not. I just want to give you a


    present. Rx, I’ve got money.”“You…” Reene was so livid that she was speechless.As if she would


    believe Kingsley’s bullsh*t after having met his janky Santana!Just then, a woman in a ssy dress


    sauntered over.A sense ofnguorous ssic beauty enveloped her, and her every smile and frown


    exuded endless elegance.This woman was none other than the store manager of this Gavell Jewelry


    Atelier, Cameron Sheffield.“What’s going on, Rosalind?”With that, Rosalind pointed at Kingsley and


    scoffed, “Miss Sheffield, this loser is causing trouble. He said he wants to buy these nine rings.”Her


    words stumped Cameron, for only a handful in the entire Cleapolis could afford to make such an act,


    and every single one of them was a big shot who dominated the game!This man, on the other hand,


    was far too young…After a moment’s hesitation, Cameron still very politely spoke to Kingsley. “Sir, if


    you’re certain, please follow me to my office to make the transaction.”The sum was clearly far too


    massive to be transacted hastily, what more in front of so many pairs of eyes. “Miss Sheffield!”


    Rosalind eximed. “You don’t possibly think he can afford these rings, do you? He’s just a boastful,


    pretentious b*stard!”To that, Cameron shot her a cold nce, warning, “You better keep your mouth


    shut if you don’t want to lose this job.”“I—” Rosalind still wanted to retort, but she shut right up upon


    seeing Cameron’s cold gaze.However, indignation was still written all over her face as she shot a re


    at Kingsley as though taunting, I’d like to see how you’re able to pull out such arge sum!Meanwhile,


    Kingsley stood up and saidzily, “Let’s go. I give you the money; you give me the goods.”“Kingsley!”


    Reene was truly panicking now. “Things won’t end well if you keep this up. Let’s go!”“Rx, Reene.


    Just wait here until Ie back with the rings,” Kingsley said with a smile before following Cameron to


    her office.While watching their disappearing figures, Rosalind quirked her lips. “This pretentious


    b*stard. As if he really has the money. Later if the security kicks him out, I’ll surely take a picture of him


    and put it online so that everyone knows who this king of grandiose is.”The crowd burst intoughter at


    that and beganmenting.“Surely he’ll be a meme.”“If this goes viral, he’ll be the clown of


    the town. I guess you can call him a social media influencer by then.”“Haha, I have to be sure to take a


    picture with him and ride the wave!”On the other hand, Cecilia’s face was beyond grim. “Reene, I’m


    going to freshen up.”She really couldn’t stay any longer, for such ridicule was worse than being burned


    alive!Meanwhile, Kingsley sat across from Cameron in the store manager’s office. “Are you not worried


    that I might actually not have the money to pay?” he asked, curious.“What’s there to worry about?”


    Cameron smiled faintly, revealing a shallow dimple. “What if you do? Wouldn’t I have won the


    bet?”“Congrattions, you have indeed won.” Kingsley pulled a gold bank card and put it on the table.


    “Go ahead, swipe it.”“T-This is…” Cameron widened her eyes with incredulity upon seeing the print on


    the card. “Is this the Federacy’s joint Elite Gold Card?!”She gulped while gingerly scrutinizing the card


    in her hand.I can’t be wrong!This was the legendary Elite Gold Card she had only ever seen in her


    economics textbook!This card was practically like extraterrestrial life forms, only existing in theory!No


    one had ever seen the real thing, but right now, she was truly holding it in her hands!She was freakingN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    out so much that she had forgotten to breathe.“H-How may I… address you, sir?” Cameron gasped as


    she gawked at Kingsley.“Nicholson.”“Hello, Mr. Nicholson. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Cameron


    Sheffield, the eldest daughter of the jewelry-making family in Cleapolis, the Sheffield Family. I—”Tap,


    tap, tap! Before she could finish her words, a knock came at the door.
