    Chapter 31 I Love It as Long as It''s a Gift From My Husband


    Ava was boiling with anger, her face flushed with embarrassment.


    She had always been conscious of her reputation, and now it had been shatteredpletely. Taking

    out all her anger on Ste, she instinctively raised her hand to strike but was restrained by the people


    around her.


    They pointed toward the surveince cameras on the ceiling, advising her to restrain herself for the


    moment.


    ring at Ste, Ava gritted her teeth as she said, "What''s so great about marrying a penniless bum?


    Forget about a diamond ring. He probably can''t even afford a ring made of copper or iron! You and your


    wretched husband are destined to live a life of poverty!"


    With that, she turned and walked away while Ste observed her infuriated figure and curled her lips


    into a subtle smile.


    Looks like there won''t be any peaceful days ahead in thispany.


    She realized she needed to start nning and find an exit strategy.


    ...


    The following day, Ste appeared different when she arrived at thepany.


    Not one to wear makeup usually, she had applied a subtle touch today. And there was something new


    adorning her hand-arge emerald ring.


    Her colleagues in the office widened their eyes and gazed in astonishment. The ring''s setting was


    crafted from pure gold and adorned with intricate engravings on the band. The translucent green


    emerald on top exuded a sense of opulence and luxury.


    However, the design of the ring seemed a bit old-fashioned, reminiscent of antique styles.


    Lowering her head, Ste gently touched it.


    She had taken the ring out of the box the previous night. Her fingers were slender, and it was slightly


    too big for her. Liam had suggested taking it to a jewelry store for resizing, but she could not wait.


    Did Ava not say that her husband could not even afford a ring? Today, she was determined to show her


    what she wore on her hand!


    "Ste, this ring is stunning!" Her female colleagues gathered around, admiring it with curiosity. "I''ve


    never seen such a unique design before. Did you have it specially made?"


    "But it looks so old." Someone objected. "It''s like a piece of antique."


    "Ste, did your husband give you this? How did he manage to afford something so extravagant? Did


    your mother-inw also wear it? Is it a family heirloom?"


    Ste simply smiled and remained silent.


    As Ava walked past, her eyesnded on the ring. They sparkled with intrigue. Despite the ring''s antique


    style, it was evident that it was a meticulously crafted piece that had stood the test of time. However...


    How could Ste possess such a precious treasure?


    Ava snorted lightly and asked with a sneer, "Is it possible that it''s a fake?"


    Instantly, the office fell into an awkward silence, and everyone returned to their respective positions.


    "Ste, we graduated from the same school, and as your senior, let me offer you some advice." Ava


    cast a sidelong disdainful nce at her. "That ring looks old and worn-out, and the gem on top appears


    more like colored ss than an emerald... Ha, I suppose your husband gave you this junk just to


    appease you, didn''t he?"


    Touching the ring, Ste met Ava''s gaze and calmly replied, "I wear this ring simply to signify my


    marriage. It holds no other significance to me. Whether it''s ss or a gem, it matters not."


    Ste smiled lightly. "Moreover, as long as it''s a gift from my husband, it doesn''t matter if it''s made of


    copper or iron. It represents his love, and I cherish it!"


    "Hah," Ava mocked, "Truly a life of poverty!"


    Ste paid no attention and continued to immerse herself in her work.


    In the afternoon, as she was engrossed in working on the sales n for the next quarter, she


    overheard Annie murmuring beside her, "She''s gone mad chasing after orders, bringing all sorts of


    people into the office!"


    Stunned, she turned to look at Annie.


    Annie subtly gestured with her lips, and Ste turned her gaze toward Ava''s office, where she noticed a


    continuous flow of people entering and exiting.


    If Ste recalled correctly, this was already the fifth group of clients Ava had attended to that afternoon.


    Looks like she has taken note of the grudge regarding the stolen orders.


    She smiled gently and was about to resume focusing on her proposal when she heard Ava''s voice


    calling out from the doorway of her office, "Ste,e in!"
