The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride (Ethan and Janet) novel Chapter 249

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it." The shop attendant was puzzled by Janet's question.

Perhaps sensing that she had been a bit impolite just now by staring at Janet's ring, she waved her hands in dismissal and put on a smile. "I'm really sorry for staring at your ring just now, ma'am. I shouldn't have done that. I've only seen photos of that ring before. This is the first time I've seen it in real life. It is indeed mesmerizing."

Janet frowned. She couldn't understand what the shop attendant was talking about.

'This is just a fake blue diamond ring. Why is she so curious about it?' she wondered.

Upon noticing the confusion on Janet's face, the shop attendant asked hesitantly, "Don't you know the origin of that ring, ma'am?"

Janet glanced at Ethan subconsciously.

He was the one who gave her the ring. She didn't think that there was any interesting background story about a fake ring.

Thus, she shook her head and said, "I don't."

Suddenly, Ethan faked coughing.

"Ethan, are you okay? Is your throat sore?" Janet was worried about him, so she patted him on the back and handed him a glass of water. "Why are you suddenly coughing?" she asked.

'He was fine just now,' she thought.

Upon hearing that, Janet was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, she asked tentatively, "Are you sure this isn't just a fake?"

She couldn't believe that the blue diamond on her ring was the real "Ocean" that the shop attendant just told her about. 'How could Ethan afford the real one? We're poor!' she thought to herself.

Aside from that, Janet had seen several fakes that Ethan had gotten from his friends. Because of the development of counterfeiting technology, it was hard to tell that they were fakes.

But to her surprise, the shop attendant shook her head and smiled. "Ma'am, you must be kidding. I've been at this job for years, and I know our brand's most famous product all too well. I'm more than certain that your ring is the real deal. If you don't believe me, go ahead and fine a professional jewelry appraiser to check it for you." After hearing the explanation, Janet was stunned. The shop attendant sounded so sure that the blue diamond on her ring was real.

Thinking back on Ethan's weird behavior; his odd winking and sudden burst of coughs; her eyes widened in shock. She whipped her head to stare at Ethan as a mountain of questions built up in her head.
