Chapter 289 I could not hear what Keith said.
Theo grew impatient and raised his voice, "When I say all, I mean all the jewelry stores in Whaldorf City." He hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at me. "Throw away those cheap things that Tyler gave you. Tellwhat you want and I promise to get it for you no matter what it is." "You're really rich, aren't you, Mr. Grant?!" I rolled my eyes at him, feeling tremendously speechless. He had too much money and did not know what to spend it o n.

He was simply... I was speechless! It looked like a man would lose his IQ when he was impulsive.
Not bothering to argue with him, I looked at the rings i n my hands that cost less than 31 bucks. They might not be expensive, but they carried significant importance to me.
I looked at him and said, "You know that my mom adopted me. A disabled woman like her went through a lot of trouble to raise Tyler and me. However, there were often times when kids were materialistic. On my tenth birthday, wearing jewelry was a trend among my classmates. I really wanted one but as I was poor and could not afford any, I began collecting scraps every day to save up." Theo froze, looking atrather sympathetically.
I laughed and continued, "Later, I was injured from collecting scraps and my mother was upset after learning about it. In order to earn more money to buya birthday present, she worked her dayjob during the day and folded boxes at hat night. Every night, the three of us would work late into the night. That was the first tthe three of us had ever worked as a team to achieve a common goal.
"Later, we collected enough money but I didn't buy the necklace that I had always wanted. I used the money to get three custom-made rings instead, one for everyone in the family. They're all the same, and they're our family's token." Theo's countenance was no longer dark and grim. He reached out to pullto his side. I stretched out my hand and pulled out one of the rings, handing it to him. "You may think that they're not worth a lot of money, but they're a representation of my mom's love for me. They also carry the love and care we have for each other." "These are precious to me. They're my best memories and also a reminder that I once had family members who loved me." He huggedtight, uttering softly, "You have a family now. I'll take over their role and take care of you. Tellwhat you need and I'll give it to you even if it means getting the stars in the sky." Those words were supposed to sound romantic but it did sound a little hilarious when they cout of Theo's mouth. It was as though he was showing off his wealth and omnipotence.
Keith was no doubt the best assistant out there. In less than two hours, he led seven people into the villa. Each of them was carrying a heavy suitcase.
Keith ordered them to empty out the contents in the suitcases and laid them on the floor. They filled up half of the room.

Theo did not even look up and merely glanced at me, saying, "Go and pick the ones that you like." I went forward and looked at the glittering gold jewelry in front of me. My eyes were nearly blinded. I asked Keith in a hushed tone, "Did you spend a lot of money buying these?" "Not much. Excluding the jewelry from our shop, it's only a few million dollars." Keith was expressionless.
I gasped, then turned around and said to Theo, "I don't like any of them. Ask them to take them back!"
He was clearly in the jewelry business yet still spent money to buy saying from other stores. Other than saying that he Wer that he was sick in the head, I really did not know what else to say. Theo looked up and stared atwith his eyebrows raised. "You don't like any of them?" I nodded. "Yeah. I don't like any of them. Hurry up and return them."
"Put them upstairs, then. I, Theo Grant, have never returned anything after making a purchase. Having said that, he looked at Keith and said, "Pay more attention when you make a purchase next time." He was blaming Keith for not doing his job properly.
Keith froze, then ordered the staff to temy move the jewelry to my room m without a single complaint before leaving with them afterward. X
