Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 353

Chapter 353 Ten Million dollars like idants to you?

"Ten million dollars? That's daylight robbery! Do you really think I don't know the prices in the jewelry market? Do we look like Astrid had been living in Manovia for so many years. Naturally, she knew everything. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to pick a fight with the store owner The store owner just shrugged before opening the display cabinet. Then, he took out the necklace and handed it to me.

"I was wondering why there was an 'S' behind the necklace 1 could tell right away that it was an initial for a name. But since the seller has already sold it to me, the necidace is ultimately mine even though your mother's initial is carved on the necklace. So, do you want to buy it?

The store owner placed the necklace on my hand graciously. He even flipped it over to show me the back. The "S" was very small, but I could still see it clearly.

I just chuckded softly, feeling quite bitter on the inside. I remembered Amelia's mother's last name was Sanders. Could it be that Amelia told Leonard that this necklace belonged to her mother?

"Wait, it has the 'S' engraving? Eva, this really is your necklace!"

Jill nudged my arm. I just nodded in response.

The store owner retrieved the necklace right away. "So? Who'll be the one paying for it?"

He had already brought out the POS machine and was smiling at us.

Astrid was about to whip out the black card when I pressed her hand. "This necklace is worth five million dollars at most. Also, the jewels aren't pure pink. Based on the market price, it's four million dollars at most.

"I give you a price. Three million dollars for this necidace."

I glanced at the store owner. "There won't be another person who's foolish and generous enough to buy this necklace at this price. It's been with you for at least three years now, right? You should know that no one will buy it."

As expected, the store owner licked his lips. Still, he refused to relent.

"Eight million dollars. That's my lowest price. Miss, surely, this necklace is worth eight million dollars due to its significance to you!"

I knew that the store owner was confident that I'd definitely buy the necklace, hence the ridiculous price. If Amelia was the one who had sold the necklace, she must have sold the necklace at a low price because she didn't know of its actual value. I took a deep breath. Then, I dragged fill and Astrid out of the jewelry store.

"I don't want it anymore. I've been searching for so many years anyway. I can always choose to ditch it."

If the necklace really was that expensive, I'd rather give up on it. If I no longer had money, I wouldn't be able to continue treating my cancer. What was the point of having the necklace by then?

1 lowered my head and rushed out of the store,

store, not caring about the fact that the store owner was yelling at me to go back to him.

That was when I felt myself colliding with a person. I apologized immediately, "Sorry, I didn't mean to run into you."

"Jack? What are you doing here?" Astrid's voice rang out at that moment.

I rubbed my head while looking up to see Jack's calm eyes.

"I came here to check things out."

He glanced at me before walking into the jewelry store right away, "I'll pay you a million Pyrosian dollars. Now, give me the necklace." "Sir, you've got to be kidding me!"

The store owner didn't even bother looking at Jack. He moved to put the necklace back at that moment.

The next thing the store owner knew, Jack had grabbed his hand tightly.

"A million dollars for the necklace. Otherwise Jack slowly leaned in. "Imagine this-if I were to lodge a report and tell the authorities that you obtained these jewelry pieces through illegal means, just how much evidence can you procure in order to show them that you're innocent?" Then, he released the store owner's hand before showing the latter aside.

"Don't think no one else knows about the things you've done. You're able to buy necklaces of this quality at 700 grand. I'm kind enough to offer you a million dollars."

Jack pulled out a checkbook and wrote down a string of numbers quickly. Then, he snatched the necidace away f The store owner tried to reach out for the necklace, but he ultimately stopped himself after glancing at Jack. Instead, he flicked a finger a away from the store owner.
