Obviously, this was just a pretentious comment she made. Sophia knew very well the value of the Imperial Diamond Ring. Even though the Harper Family could afford it, they wouldn’t splurge on such an item. Sophia just wanted to humiliate Xyla at that moment. I didn’t really want to buy it! Alright, I wanted it, but the thought of buying it has never crossed my mind!
Sophia was so shocked that she looked as if she was struck by lightning. After a pause, she asked, “So, when Boss saw this surveillance tape, he bought it for me thinking that I like it, but I can’t afford it?”
Hale nodded honestly. “Isn’t that the case?”
Sophia was speechless upon hearing that. Rich people are so wilful.
The corner of Sophia’s lips twitched when she heard that. Now that he had bought the Imperial Diamond Ring, it was impossible to return it. On top of that, it would be a waste to just leave it there. Although Sophia liked it, it was impossible to wear it out regularly. It was better to use it to earn more money. Hence, she told Hale, “Find a museum for me tomorrow and rent this out to them. Ask them to bank in the rent to my account, and I’ll give you 10% of it as your bonus.”
Hale looked at her without any expression on his face.
The next day, he started to check out different museums. This ring was made from one of the largest rubies on earth, and it was a whole diamond, so it was a rare item. It was not a problem to rent it out to any museums to exhibit it.
The story of Xyla’s arrogant attempt to try on the Imperial Diamond Ring had spread around the elite circle of Bayside University in no time. Sophia even heard about it from her classmates during a lecture.
“I heard that Xyla tried on the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido, the Eternal Love. Hah! I can’t believe she has no limits when it comes to showing off!”
“Doesn’t she know her worth? Huffs Technology is just mediocre in Riverdale. Even though the Harper Family were listed and brought some benefits to Huffs Technology, her net worth remains the same!”
During the military training, the story of Sophia retaliating against her ex and his current girlfriend had spread like wildfire. Everyone was sick of the couple who kept flaunting their love in public. On top of that, every time they tried to flaunt in front of Sophia, she would retaliate and leave them no mercy. Even so, they were willing to do the same thing over and over again in front of her, as if they wanted to be humiliated by her, including that instance.
During the gap between lectures, everyone was discussing this matter excitedly. After the military training, everyone had gotten closer to each other, so a few classmates went to Sophia to ask her about this.
“I heard that the expressions of the Harpers changed immediately, and Mrs. Harper even told Xyla off!”
“Sophia, did you know about the value of the Imperial Diamond Ring before this and deliberately did this to humiliate Xyla?”
While revising the lectures, Sophia heard someone talking to her and took off her headphones with a blank look on her face. “What Imperial Diamond Ring? I have no idea about that. I was just sending food delivery in that area, and they deliberately dragged me over to look at engagement rings, so I helped them out kindheartedly. Unexpectedly, they scolded me even though I helped them to pick out a suitable one.”
Everyone covered their mouth, trying not to laugh. This time around, Sophia had accidentally humiliated Xyla. Hence, someone explained to Sophia about the backstory of this ring kindly. Since Ido had gotten the Imperial Diamond Ring, they placed it in their main hall as the crown jewel, and no one dared to buy it. However, there were many who had tried it on.
The people who tried it on came from impressive backgrounds. The Young Lady of the Winston Family, the fiancée of the Fletcher Family, the daughter of the president, some princesses abroad… In a nutshell, each and every one who tried it had powerful backgrounds. Hence, everyone wondered how Xyla had the audacity to try the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido.
Upon hearing their explanation, Sophia nodded, as if it was the first time she heard of this. Everyone was chattering away happily until someone changed the topic. “Sophia, where’s your boyfriend?”
