“Wow! A Porsche!”
One of the classmates exclaimed in astonishment. A Porsche was not as high-end as a Ferrari, but it enjoyed immense popularity among the masses. To the rest, both the Porsche and the Ferrari stood on the same level.
Nia felt a twinge of annoyance. She said, “It’s just a pathetic second hand car. At most, it’s just one hundred fifty thousand dollars. Compared to my Ferrari, it’s not much. A Ferrari costs around eight hundred thousand dollars!”
“What? How could there be such a vast difference in price?”
“Nia, it turns out that your husband is very rich!”
Her classmates’ jealousy towards Nia swelled further. There was indeed an incredible difference between the two cars. While a Porsche could be considered a nice car, it was nothing compared to a Ferrari.
Now that everyone’s attention was back on her once more, Nia deliberately put on a disdainful air. “Honestly, my husband isn’t as great and exceptional as you think. Back when he tried to gain my affection, I considered it for a very long time. Even after half a year passed, I still didn’t want to meet him. If not for this diamond ring he gave me, I might not even lay my eyes on him!”
Having said that, Nia purposefully waved her left hand. The others could see the large diamond ring on her ring finger, shining bright and dazzling under the sunlight.
“Wow! This diamond ring is one karat, isn’t it?” One of the female classmates said enviously. “It must be expensive, right?”
“It’s just around fifteen thousand dollars. It’s not much. I plan to ask him to change to a bigger one for my wedding anniversary this year.” Nia replied, smiling.
Right then, Jamie said smugly, “Sweetheart, I’ve prepared a surprise for you. At first I planned to tell you on the day of our wedding anniversary. But since all of your classmates are here, I’ll be direct. I've made an order of a new diamond ring customized from Tiffany!”
“Wow, Tiffany! That’s an extravagant brand indeed!”
“I heard the diamond rings from Tiffany are exceptional in terms of their cut, brilliance and brightness. No other brands can compare to Tiffany!”
“You know, a lot of famous celebrities used the rings from Tiffany when they got married!”
At Jamie’s words, their jealousy rose even further.
Nia appeared deeply touched. She wrapped her hands around Jamie’s neck in a loving embrace and gave him a kiss. “Hubby, thank you so much. You always treat me so well!”
“Sweetheart, if I’m not being nice to you, who should I be nice to?” Jamie said with a grin.
The male classmates who were present now bore ugly expressions. Jamie was so outstanding, to the extent they felt suffocated.
Some were unable to bear it and quickly changed the topic. “I heard Mandy’s coming today. Is that true?”
