The Real Heiress's New Family Adored By All novel Chapter 33

Chapter 334 Shopping Spree

Finished

She’d ignored the pieces they had prepared for her at home, so he figured they just weren’t her style. Now that he’d brought her out she could pick exactly what she liked.

The Knox family never cherished her, but the Marlows would.

“Alright, but only this one store, then we head back,” Zora said softly

“We’ll just look first,” Jensen replied. If nothing suited her, they’d move on.

If nothing caught her fancy here, he could have jewelry catalogs sent over to the Marlow Manor so she could pick at her leisure.

Still, now that they were already out, it was better to let her browse in person.

“Okay.” Zora didn’t overthink his words and took it as him agreeing to stop after this shop.

In all her years, aside from countless medicinal herbs, Zora had never seen anyone spend money so casually. It left her a little stunned.

They’d bought so many things already; she made a mental note to ask Earl to send over a few more ginseng roots later as repayment.

Inside the jewelry shop-

‘Anton, this jewelry set is gorgeous. We should get it-Mom will absolutely love it. She’s been so upset lately because Zora refuses to come home. A beautiful gift like this is sure to lift her spirits.”

Jolie caught sight of a jewelry set displayed alone behind a glass case, awe flashing across her face.

She spoke to the man beside her.

You always have great taste. If you say Mom will like it, she will. Have them wrap it up.”.

Anton stood dressed in a crisp white suit with silver-rimmed glasses resting on his nose, his expression distant and detached.

He walked over to where Jolie stood staring at the display and glanced at the set-it was indeed stunning.

The thought of their mother’s sorrow stirred faint irritation in Anton.

What was Zora throwing a fit for? Their mother had gone personally to fetch her, yet she acted stubborn and refused to return.

Did she plan to stay at the Marlow Manor forever?

Ever since Zora had refused to come back, their mother had grown quiet and withdrawn, lost in her own thoughts.

Anton had finally gotten some free time to head home that day, only for Jolie to call and say their mother was in a low mood. She’d asked him to come out shopping with her, hoping a nice gift might cheer their mother up.

You flatter me. I just know Mom well enough, that’s all,” Jolie smiled gently.

Beneath her calm smile, unease lingered.

Ever since returning from the Marlow Manor that day, Wendy’s mood had shifted. She no longer doted on and fussed over Jolie the way she once did.

Jolie suspected that old hag must have said something to Wendy.

Wendy’s quiet, distant attitude filled jolie with quiet anxiety.

When she’d asked what Opal had talked about with her, Wendy no longer shared everything with her like before.

She’d tried asking Holden too, but he wouldn’t tell her a thing either.

She’d even tried eavesdropping once, but Paul, the family butler, kept a close eye on her, never letting her linger near the living room.

In the end, she’d learned nothing at all.

The uncertainty gnawed at her nerves.

She’d successfully pushed Zora out of the Knox family, yet everything felt like it was slipping out of her control.

Jolie pushed her tangled worries down deep inside.

Chapter 84 The Coveted Custom Jewelry

Finished

“Excuse me, could you wrap this jewelry set up for us? It’s absolutely gorgeous-my mother is going to

love it.”

Jolie kept her tone soft and gentle, never missing a chance to polish her perfect public persona in front of

others.

“I’m terribly sorry, miss, sir. This jewelry set was custom-ordered by Mr. Marlow and isn’t available for purchase.”

The clerk hadn’t expected Jolie and Anton to pick the reserved piece right away. It was a private bespoke piece commissioned solely by Jensen, never meant to be sold to outsiders.

“How much did he offer? I’ll double it. I’m taking this one-tell him to place another order for himself.”

Anton frowned, faint irritation crossing his refined features. Dark, heavy circles lingered beneath his eyes.

He hadn’t slept properly in ages lately.

He’d run out of his calming herbal tonic.

All he wanted now was to buy what he came for, head straight back to the Knox Villa, and ask Mae for more of the tonic.

He just longed to get a decent night’s sleep for once.

‘I’m truly sorry, sir. This requires Mr. Marlow’s personal consent,” the clerk said with a courteous smile.

Yet inwardly, the clerk sighed silently.

Ugh, here we go again with the classic boss act today.

Some big-shot throws money around just to snatch a custom piece someone already has their heart set on, all for the woman he likes.

Total CEO romance novel plot playing out right in front of me.

No doubt high-end jewelry stores are where all those overbearing CEO cliches come to life.

Too bad these rich bosses never seem to know the rules.

This is a custom-made piece reserved exclusively for the client. Whether it’s sold or not is entirely up to the person who ordered it. We can’t just hand it over because someone flashes more cash.

Our store runs on honesty and integrity.

There’s no way we’ll cross one powerful tycoon just to please another.

We’re not about to ruin our reputation over this.

Jolie, pick another set. The other pieces here are lovely too-this pale blue one is quite pretty.
