Chapter 118
What a brute!
“Justin, my chest feels so tight…”
Rosalind hurriedly came forward, held his arm, and leaned on his shoulder. She said
coquettishly, Since we’re already here, why don’t you go shopping with me? You’ve never
gone shopping with me before. Look, even Mr. Hoffman is shopping with Ms. Brown…”

Justin’s face was sullen. His eyes were still locked on Bella’s back.
“Okay.”
Bella walked forward with a glum face.
Her ex-husband was like a fly that landed on her dessert. He had completely ruined her
good mood.
“Hey.” Bella suddenly called out to Ryan.
“Yeah?” Ryan quickly responded to her. His eyes were shining brightly.
“I’m in a bad mood. Tell me a few more jokes.”
Ryan teased her. “I can tell you a few more jokes to brighten up your day, but if you really
want to have some fun, let’s go drinking at ACE tonight?”
“No need. I never drink with men I’m not close with.”
Bella glanced at him coldly. “Besides, aren’t you afraid that your little boat of friendship
with Justin will capsize if you’re always hanging out with me?”
“Damn, you’re both divorced. Even if you haven’t finalized it, it’s a done deal. I didn’t steal
you away from him or do anything to wrong him. Why should he cut off ties with me? He
can’t afford it!” Ryan
pursed his lips in indignance.
At this time, Bella noticed a sapphire necklace in the display window of a jewelry store
that shone
brightly under the spotlight.
She could not help but walk into the jewelry store.
Ryan followed her closely.
“Can I please take a look at this?”
“Miss, you have such good taste! This necklace is a limited edition work by our designer.
It’s the ‘ Starry Sky and Deep Sea’ collection this summer. There are only five pieces in the
country.”
The store attendant introduced the collection enthusiastically and took out the sapphire
necklace from the display case.
Bella knew a lot about jewelry. She could tell at a glance that the sapphire was of an
average color. It was not Vivid Blue or Deep Blue, but the excellent cutting technique and
design were outstanding. It showed that the designer was naturally talented.
Adding to the profit margin from the brand name, this necklace exceeded seven figures.
“Do you like it?”
Ryan sat on a small chair. His left leg was crossed over his stretched-out right leg. He put
his chin on his hand and smiled flirtatiously at Bella.
The store attendant’s eyes widened. This woman was so beautiful that she was envious,
and that man was equally handsome. They were such eye candy!
“Yeah,” Bella responded softly as she admired the necklace.
“Put it on and try it.” Ryan raised his chin.
“OMG! What a beautiful necklace! I like it so much!”
Suddenly, Rosalind’s shrill voice interrupted the peace, which made both Bella and Ryan
frown in disgust.
Bella turned and saw Rosalind walking over, holding Justin’s hand.
The store attendant was so shocked that she could not close her mouth. ‘OMG! Isn’t that
Mr.
Salvador? He looks so handsome and perfect in person that his sculpture can be displayed
in the
Louvre! But the woman next to him seems inferior to this beauty in front of me in all
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaspects.’
“Tsk! They’re everywhere…” Ryan muttered unhappily.
Justin’s cold gaze was fixed on Bella for an instant.
“Justin, I like this necklace so much… It’s really beautiful. Can you buy it for me?” Rosalind
acted cute and shook Justin’s arm, pouting as if she were a little girl asking for candy.
Ryan rubbed his arm because he got goosebumps hearing her sickeningly sweet voice.
Justin’s pupil shrank, and he pursed his thin lips.
In the past, Rosalind did not have to ask for anything. As long as she said something was
beautiful or if she liked something, Justin would buy it for her without hesitation.
But when he saw this necklace, all he thought about was “The Flaming Heart” necklace
that she had put up for auction. It made him feel so ashamed that he had locked that
necklace in a cabinet and planned to keep it there forever.
Justin hesitated.
Seeing that the man did not respond, Rosalind gradually felt a little awkward.
“Miss, take my card.”
Ryan quickly pulled out a black card and handed it to the store attendant. He looked at
Bella with a smile and said, “Wrap it nicely. It’s a gift for this lovely lady.”
Bella’s beautiful eyes squinted slightly.
Before the store attendant could say anything, another black card was handed to her.
“Swipe this card. I want that necklace.” Justin looked at Bella with gloomy eyes.
