Chapter 35
Noah had been in a bad mood lately. But when Ella suggested they look at rings together, he couldn’t refuse.
Coincidentally, Bethany was at the store that day to exchange her wedding ring.
She had tried it on before and felt that it was a bit too big. She had wanted a bigger size at the time, but realized it was actually too large. That day, she came to swap it for the correct size.
As she packed the ring into her bag, she spotted two people approaching hand in hand.
Bethany pressed her lips tight.
She wanted to pretend that she hadn’t seen them, but Ella grabbed her arm. “Beth, you’re here too? You weren’t home when Noah came to formally propose. Beth, I’m going to marry him.”
Bethany’s expression was calm, and her tone was indifferent as she said, “Congrats. If you’re done, let go. I’m leaving.”
But Ella wasn’t about to miss the chance to humiliate Bethany. She smiled sweetly as she looked at Noah beside her. “Noah, the rings are the most important symbol of our love. Can I ask Beth to help me choose?”
Noah’s eyes gleamed. “Sure.”
Bethany rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. “You ask him and not me? I told you, I’m in a hurry. Besides, we’re not even that close. Don’t bother me.”
As Bethany turned to leave, Noah blocked her path and said coldly, “Apologize to her.”
Bethany glared at him. “What if I don’t?”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “Then don’t expect to leave.”
Bethany finally understood what it meant to be forced into a corner. She looked at the sales assistant behind them and said, ‘ Hey, bring out your most expensive ring.”
The sales assistant nodded immediately. “Certainly. This is a limited edition. Does it suit your taste?”
Ella played coy. “Well, the price doesn’t have to be the highest. This one’s a bit plain. Do you have anything prettier?”
“How about this? It’s one of our best–sellers.”
Ella pouted. “Best–seller? Noah, I don’t want to match everyone else.”
Bethany crossed her arms, glaring coldly from behind them. Noah’s bodyguards stood like two gatekeepers on either side of her, watching her.
She decided to tolerate this for one more minute. If Ella didn’t find what she wanted by then, Bethany would call the police.
“Mr. Brennan, right this way.”
People surrounded Silas as he made his way through the mall. Just then, he spotted a familiar figure from a distance.
He paused mid–step as he noticed the two bodyguards beside Bethany.
She seemed to be pulling out her phone, saying something.
Silas‘ gaze turned cold. He quickly waved his hand and said, “Go over there and kick that couple out of the store.”
The mall manager was confused.
“Why are you still here?” Silas frowned at him.

“Yes, sir. I’m on it.”
The mall manager hurried over. As he went in, he didn’t notice the woman standing by the entrance. “I’m sorry, sir, ma’am, but the mall’s closing.”
