Chapter 661
When Yoel heard that, he immediately persuaded, “That’s not a good idea, Horus. It’ll be very bad for our family’s reputation if anyone finds out what you did. How about we just buy it at a higher price?”
Horus’s expression soured instantly and he retorted, “What’s wrong with that? The item was supposed to belong to me, but that person from Brookbourn took it from us! Isn’t it just for me to snatch it back? It’ll be an even bigger disgrace to our family if I don’t get it back!” Having ended his sentence, Horus could not help but smirk as he glared at Yoel and said, “Or could it be that you’re jealous of me? After all, my wife Rachel is a beautiful woman, don’t you think? You’re just jealous of me for marrying such a beautiful woman! Didn’t you stop me when I wanted to marry her the other day? I think you’re in love with my woman too!”
Yoel was utterly speechless. Rachel did not like Horus at all, and she only accepted his marriage proposal under Horus’s threats and duress. During that moment, he felt pity for Rachel and help to stand up for her, since someone of Horus’s status would happily choose a woman from an endless pool of gold-diggers. Little did he know that Horus was determined to marry Rachel, and there was nothing else that Yoel could do for her.
As if that was not bad enough, Horus went so far as to accuse him of coveting the same woman simply because he had given a bit of advice regarding the jewelry.
Yoel then immediately defended himself. “You’re overthinking, Horus. Why would I want to take your woman? You of all people know better than anyone that I’m not all that close with Rachel!”
However, Horus threatened him, “I’m glad you’re aware of that. Let me warn you again: you have no business meddling in my affairs. If you keep doing that, I’m afraid my subordinates might have to put you in your place one day. I hope you don’t blame me for being ruthless if it has to come to that.”
Yoel’s mouth twitched a few times and he looked at Mason in the hopes that Mason could speak for him. However, Mason had turned his head to the other side and chose to remain silent.
“Yo, Horus! Where’s the necklace and ring? Have they been delivered? Show them to us and let us marvel at them!” All of a sudden, several rich young friends who hung out with Horus all the time showed up all of a sudden and asked Horus excitedly.
Horus’s face soured instantly and he said coldly, “They haven’t sent it over for the time being, but don’t worry. They’ll be here soon, and they’ll grace my woman’s beautiful body in another seven days!*
A woman immediately complained, “Sigh. Why haven’t they delivered it to you yet? Didn’t you say it was supposed to be transported by air? I was excited to see those two unique pieces, but I guess it was a waste of time for me to come here!”
“Yeah! What a disappointment!” said another fashionably-dressed man who stood at one side.
“Relax. You’ll see it soon!” Horus felt embarrassed, but he still assured them with confidence.
Those friends of his decided to go shopping after their little excursion to see the jewelry ended up in disappointment. They invited Horus to come along too, but Horus turned their offer down. Once everyone left, Horus cursed angrily, “Damn it, that was so embarrassing…”
Mason finally said, “You should go and get the pieces back, but at least show some courtesy first and ask. the buyer how much they spent to take it from us. If they’re willing to hand it over, then we’ll return the amount that he paid to get it. I’m sure he’ll be respectful when he knows that we’re from a county
