Chapter 169 How embarrassing


    Joey had always considered herself a rich girl with the one million dors that Samantha had given her.


    She only realized that she was still very poor inparison with the Charles family.


    The salesgirl’s ttering smile was gone when she found that Vivian couldn’t afford the diamond ring.


    She said sarcastically, “Miss, do you still want to buy the ring?”


    She was implying that Vivian should get out of here immediately since she couldn’t afford it. Her


    sudden change of attitude really hurt Vivian’s feelings. Vivian was infuriated.


    “You’re such a snob!” Vivian said.


    She nudged Ben Hawk, “Ben, I want this ring. We’re buying it!”


    Ben Hawk was a senior manager in the Walter Group who was handsomely paid. Vivian believed that


    he could definitely afford the ring.


    Ben Hawk frowned. It was a very expensive ring. She was asking too much.


    He thought she was really selfish and capricious.


    It cost half a million dors, mostly equivalent to all his savings over the years. Had he worked so hard


    for such a fancy ring?


    She was kidding. It would be too ridiculous a thing to do for a girl.


    Joey wouldn’t have asked him to do such a thing, he thought. He impatiently brushed her hand away


    and said indifferently, “Something came up in the office. I have to go.”


    Before Vivian knew it, he had rushed out of the store.


    Vivian was stunned when he was gone.


    He had abandoned her in the store. He could have persuaded her out of the idea in a gentler way, even


    if he didn’t want to buy her the ring. What a disgrace! She suddenly hated his guts for that. He was


    even worse than Quentin.


    The salesgirl sneered and looked away.


    All the other salesgirls were trying their best to stop themselves from bursting intoughter.


    Vivian was burning with anger. But she couldn’t afford it herself. She was now too embarrassed to fight


    back.


    There was no point in staying here for another second. She quickly left the store.


    Ben Hawk, who had made up an excuse to leave Vivian at the jewelry store, didn’t go back to the


    He finally found them at the door of another jewelry store.


    He went to them with an annoying smile on his face, and came straight to the point, “Joey, I need to


    talk to you, alone.”


    He was asking Allen to give them some privacy.


    Joey was shocked and subconsciously grabbed Allen’s hand.


    Allen raised his eyebrows and looked at Ben Hawk with cold eyes. He shook his head, amused, “Ben


    Hawk, you have really thick skin. Leave us alone, or I’ll teach you a good lesson.”


    However, Ben Hawk ignored Allen and smiled at Joey, “I’m afraid he won’t like what I’m about to say,


    what do you think?”


    Allen was angry that he had been ignored by Ben Hawk. Before he lost his temper, Joey said to him


    with pleading eyes, “Allen… why don’t you wait here for a while? I’ll be back soon.”

    Allen was surprised and confused. Was there something going on between Joey and Ben Hawk that he


    was unaware of?
