Chapter 185
Instantly, a few women surrounded her and started a discussion.
"Yeah, it looks quite nice."
"Look at this finish. It must be very expensive!"
Patricia lowered her head and looked at her necklace while thinking about its price. All of them woulddefinitely be very shocked if she told them how much it cost. Hence, she smiled faintly. "It's just fromthe marketplace, so it's nothing expensive."
As she said that, she quickly placed the necklace underneath her clothes. I must be careful not to let itslip out again next time. Otherwise, if someone who knows its worth sees it, it will definitely be takenaway.
In fact, she didn't want to wear it out at all; she just wanted to keep it at home. However, Isaac wouldn'tlet her do that, and he even checked on her every single day. Sigh! He's the big boss, after all.
"How much is it, then?"
Cersei and Olivia were both staring at her, after which Cersei said, "Just tell us how much it is."
The two of them had their arms crossed in front of their chests, and they couldn't stop looking atPatricia's neck. They were completely drawn into her necklace.
Since they had been living their lives in high society for quite a long time, they were interested inaccessories like this, and they had good taste as well. Although they couldn't tell which brand thatnecklace was from, its craftsmanship and pattern made it a classic item, and its worth would increasewith time.
Even if it was nothing expensive, it didn't look awkward on Patricia. On the contrary, it made her lookclassy.
Since Patricia was being cornered by them, she eventually said, "Fifty bucks."
They probably wouldn't be interested in things that were worth only fifty, so she told them an extremelylow price to stop them from pestering her.
Unexpectedly, each of them transferred a hundred to her. "We want two necklaces for each of us."
A shocked Patricia looked at her phone. They're really buying a necklace worth fifty bucks? It wasreally out of her expectations, and she felt distressed.
After she named the price, a few of the maids came over too. "We want it too, Miss Patricia. It must begood if both Madams like it. Doesn't it cost fifty bucks? All of us want one as well."
Instantly, Patricia was surrounded by them, and they were taking up their phones, wanting to scan herQR code to transfer the money to her. At that moment, she felt as though she had come back to theAniston Residence for business.
Then, Adeline came over and sneered. "Are you doing business at home now, Patricia? Are you that
poor?"
When the maids heard that, they quickly moved out of the way as they were all afraid of Adeline. Evenwhen she hadn't been pampered before, she was already arrogant at home. Now that she was gettingmarried into the Arnold Family, she became even worse. When the maids made a little mistake, shewould scold them, hit them, and chase them out right away.
She walked to Patricia's side and looked at her neck in disdain. "Aunt Cersei, Aunt Olivia, what's therethat's attracting the both of you?"
Cersei and Olivia wore an awkward expression on their faces since they didn't dare go against Adelinenow. Adeline didn't like Patricia, so when Patricia returned, she could only be the little miss of theAnistons.
Both of them said at the same time, "Nothing."
While they were walking away, Patricia said, "Aunt Cersei, Aunt Olivia, this necklace is the only one inthe world. I'm afraid that I can't help you with it." She raised her voice on purpose to let everyone hear itso that no one would come to her, wanting to buy her necklace anymore. As for the payments shereceived on Venmo, she would transfer the amount back to them anyway.
At this moment, Adeline looked at her coldly and said, "Why did you come back? You're not one of theAnistons anymore. This is a family dinner within the Aniston Family, you know."
Even though Isaac was going to get engaged to Adeline soon, he wasn't in a position to participate inthe family dinner. He could only wait until they were married; only then was he considered one of theAnistons. Patricia has long been kicked out of the Aniston Family, so on what grounds is she here?
She walked to Patricia's side and looked at her neck in disdain. "Aunt Cersei, Aunt Olivia, what's therethat's attracting the both of you?"
