Chapter 777
Lily lowered her gaze to look at the ring on her finger.It was magical how such a small band that
encircled her finger seemed to do the same to her heart.She used her finger to rub the ring lightly, then
looked up at Alexander, smiling.
"I like it."
After deciding on the rings, the two got up and headed out of the VIP room.
The sales advisor had already taken Alexander’s card to check out the rings while Alexander was on
his phone, talking business.
Other customers looked at jewelry in the store, and Lily left first.
"Mom, I think this looks good.It doesn’t necessarily need to be a jade ring.Diamond rings are fine too."
"You youngsters know nothing about rings.Gold is valuable, and jade is priceless.No matter how
expensive diamond rings are, how could they compare to jades?"
The old lady sounded displeased.
Lily did not listen in on their conversation, but they captured her attention because what they said was
too surprising.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe jewelry store only sold diamond rings.
For them to compare the rings and insist that jade rings were better than diamond rings in such a store
would make things awkward for the sales advisors.It would make those customers who came to
purchase diamond rings feel uncomfortable too.
"All right then.I know you prefer jade rings, but there isn’t anything like that here, is there? Since that’s
the case, why don’t you look around and see if you like anything else? Ralph is getting married next
month, so you need to be well-dressed, don’t you?"
Lily looked toward where the voice came from and saw a well- rounded old lady sitting by the counter
with displeasure written all over her face.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмThe middle-aged woman who stood by her
side seemed to have maintained her beauty well, but the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes revealed
her actual age.
"Look at this, and this too.This ring looks great, doesn’t it? It suits your demeanor well, too," the sales
advisor suggested.
"They're no great shakes." The old lady snorted, obviously dissatisfied.
"Do you guys have any pink diamond rings or sapphire rings? Show them to me.Anyhow, I want
something different from others."
"We have them, but the prices are..."
The sales advisors would remind the customers about the prices subtly should the rings be too costly.
Firstly, it was risky for them to move such expensive rings around, so it was rare for them to display
them.
Secondly, they were afraid the customers could not afford such expensive rings and might feel
awkward about not being able to afford them.
Such words might sometimes offend certain customers, especially those with great pride.
They would feel humiliated, as what was happening right now.
"What are you trying to say? What’s with the price? Do you think I can’t afford it?"
The old lady raised her voice, attracting the other customers’ attention.
"Exactly! What the h*ll are you guys saying? Do you know who my mom is?"
The middle-aged woman was displeased as well.
"We're from the Russell family.Have you heard of La Beauté Group before?"
Lily widened her eyes, wondering if she had heard things wrong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Russell family? La Beauté Group? Could there be another Russell family who owns a company with
the same name?’ "I’m sorry.I made a mistake.I-I’ll bring the rings to you now," the sales advisor
apologized and hurried to retrieve the expensive diamond rings.
The proud mother-daughter duo held their heads high and glanced around the store arrogantly.
However, they froze when they met gazes with Lily.
Lily wondered if she had seen it wrong, but she felt they knew her.It was just that their gazes revealed
hostility toward her.
"I'm done.Let’s go."
Alexander finished his phone call and exited the store with his purchased items.He spoke to Lily but
saw her gaze fixed somewhere in the distance and wondered what she was looking at.
"What's wrong?" he asked and looked in the direction of her gaze.
He was stunned for a moment by what he saw.
"Give me a moment,"
Alexander said and walked toward the two ladies.
"Hey, Grandma.Hey, Aunt Celine."
