Chapter 221
Hubert refused to make way and even asked Beatrix, “Beatrix, do you like Mr.
Cline’s jewelry too? That’s fantastic! I plan to purchase one for your sister
tonight and perhaps another one for you. What do you think?”
Beatrix’s curiosity was piqued, so she stopped walking and asked, “Oh, when
