Chapter 49

Vance’s face darkened. “You serious?”

“Yeah “Rebecca wasn’t joking, jealous, or throwing a fit.

“Fine!” he hutted. “Don’t come crying later!”

He returned to the counter and pointed at the watches. “I’ll take them all!”

By then, Vivian had pieced it together that Rebecca was this guy’s wife and that the pretentious woman earlier was the side piece. She closed the display case door. “I’m sorry, sir, but they’re not for sale.”

Vance never expected to be rebuffed by a store clerk. For the first time, he asserted his status. “Believe it or not, I could buy this whole shop out from under you right now.”

“Oh, I’d rather go bankrupt than sell. I may be insignificant, but I don’t want anything from my store to end up with a homewrecker,” she said defiantly.

Vance was infuriated.

Lestthings get out of hand, Rebecca stepped in. “You’re being silly. Sell them to him… at a high price. Scumbags like him have money to burn anyway. Feel free to rip him off.”

Vance clenched his teeth. “Screwing me over as always, huh?”

Ignoring him, Rebecca winked at Vivian to jack up the price. Catching the hint, the latter quickly pulled out all ten watches and quoted double the market valuie.

It was a highway robbery, but with Rebecca looking askance at him, he couldn’t back down.

“I’ll take them!” he declared, tapping on the counter. “And the rings!”

Vivian looked at Rebecca, who nodded in agreement. This time, Vivian didn’t hesitate and directly quoted double the price.

Vance paid up without blinking. Vivian packed everything and handed it over to him.

Her phone pinged again. This time, it was from the embassy, notifying her of her fingerprinting appointment Simultaneously, Lauren’s message cause through, forwarding the embassy’s notice and instructing her to go to Arelmoor for

fingerprinting, scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Rebecca racked her brains, trying to find a good excuse

Vance noticed her silence and prodded. “I’m talking to you. What’s on your mind?”

Rebecca snapped back to reality. “Oh, just thinking about how stuff holds value. You see, I can sell them second–hand and turn them into cash. But a husband? No takers.”

The red light flicked on ahead, and Vance slammed on the brakes.
