Chapter 1078 A Gift From Rita

The pair arrived at the jewelry store. Even though it was located on the most bustling street, it wasdecorated plainly. The mahogany door revealed a hint of elegance.

Nicole helped Rita ascend the stairs. The moment the duo came into view, the owner enthusiasticallygreeted them.

"What brings you here, Old Mrs. Gould? It's been a while!" The owner flattered them with a wide smileon his face.

Rita pulled Nicole to the counter and introduced her to the owner, "I remember you telling me that youhave a rainbow bracelet in your store. This is my granddaughter. She's getting married soon, so Ibrought her here to see the bracelet. I'll buy it if she likes it."

The owner glanced at Nicole before turning his attention to Rita and smiled. "This must be Miss Nicole.I was told she's marrying a Gardner, isn't she? The entire country knows about the news."

"Enough talk. Let us have a look at the bracelet. You have a deal if she likes it." Even though Rita wasold, she still behaved like a child.

The owner nodded before turning around to reach for his safe box. He took out a small box from theback of the safe box and presented it to Rita before explaining, "This is a rare bracelet. Therefore, it'sslightly more expensive than the other goods."

Rita glared at him before replying, "What are you implying? Do you think I can't afford it?"

He quickly shook his head upon hearing that. "I don't, Old Mrs. Gould. Nobody will ever doubt your

spending power. However, the bracelet is indeed a little pricier than my other goods. Many customerswere interested in this piece of jewelry, but they thought the bracelet wasn't worth this much. Thus, theyended up leaving without purchasing it."

Rita took the box and opened it before presenting it to Nicole, thereafter asking for her opinion. "Take alook at this, Nicole. What do you think?"

Nicole looked down at the box. She had doubts when she listened to the store owner's explanationbefore seeing the bracelet herself. Now that she had the opportunity, she found that the bracelet wasmade of seven natural gemstones.

Moreover, a jadeite cabochon shining in brilliant green was mounted in the center, which explained itsprice. Each gemstone on the bracelet cost a fortune, not to mention there were seven on the bracelet.Besides, the stones were polished to the same size. A platinum chain carved with antique patternsconnected them all.

It wasn't extravagant but was very eye-catching. Everyone would fall for it at first glance.

"You're right. It's not an easy task to polish the gemstones into the same size and without inclusions,"Nicole remarked. After working in the fashion industry for years, she was no stranger to jewelry. Sheconsidered the bracelet in her palm to be among the top jewelry she ever came across.

"All right. We'll take this one. I always knew there was such a bracelet in the store, and I thought itwould suit you. I can't wait to see you wearing it during your wedding." As Nicole had shown interest inthe bracelet, Rita handed her card over to the store owner without hesitation.

Since she was so ready to pay, the owner took the card and checked it out on the POS machine. Shedidn't even ask about the price!

After Rita paid for the bracelet, she put the bracelet around Nicole's wrist. She studied the braceletthrough her narrowed eyes and was pleased by what she saw. "The bracelet sets off your ivory skin.I'm not bragging, but you can always count on my taste."

Nicole accepted Rita's kind gesture without resistance as the elderly woman put the bracelet aroundNicole's wrist.

The pair left after Rita paid for the bracelet. Tilting her head, Nicole studied the joyful expression onRita's face before asking in a soft voice, "Old Mrs. Gould, did you come all this way only to buy thebracelet for me?"

Rita nodded. "That's right. I've been thinking about buying it for you since the owner told me about thebracelet. Consider it as a wedding gift from me."

Nicole said nothing more. Instead, she flashed Rita a grateful smile. "Thank you, Old Mrs. Gould."

The two made small talk as they walked over to the car when a group of people showed up fromnowhere. Before the duo could react, the men already lunged at Nicole.
