When the saleswoman heard the conversation between Mrs. Harper and Xyla, she finally realized that they were trying to humiliate Sophia. All of a sudden, she could feel her nerves tingling as she was afraid that Sophia would cause a scene if she was enraged.
She knew that Taylor Murray was not only an internationally renowned Academy Award for Best Actor winner, but he also had a close connection with the Fletcher Family in Bayside City. That was why most people were scared of offending him.
Why does a small Harper Family have the courage to insult Michael’s wife?
However, she wasn’t able to clarify it on the spot. If she accidentally revealed Taylor’s hidden marriage, she would have no way to gain a foothold in this industry ever again.
Yesterday, when Michael and her were trying out the rings, she seemed to remember wearing this ring before, but it was taken off by Michael immediately.
Michael hated the ring for not being compelling enough.
These are the favorites of big bosses and upstarts.
After that, Xyla chose two rings for her and Richard to try. The rings seemed to be tailor-made for the two of them as they looked gaudy and bright.
When the two of them stood together to compare the rings, Xyla pulled Sophia purposely and chirped, “Sophia, look at this. Do you think this suits us for our engagement?”
Sophia’s face was calm and emotionless. It was as though she was looking at two dogs mating in front of her, and they did it purposely for her to watch. When she tried to turn her head away and leave, the dogs would bark and threaten to bite her if she dared to leave. Therefore, she was forced to stand and watch.
She nodded. “Yes. It suits you.”
“Madam Harper, you are so lucky. Your son is a brilliant man, and your daughter-in-law is very pretty too!”
“What a perfect match!”
Mrs. Harper was so pleased with herself that she began gloating. “Of course they are. Only a good girl like Xyla deserves the hands of my Richard.”
At the moment, Xyla’s face was flushed as she buried herself inside Richard’s arms. The affectionate interaction between them was echoed by the happiness on their face.
Just like that, Sophia looked at them as though they were two dogs mating. Not only did they prevent her from leaving, their owner also looked around for other people to praise how majestic their mating posture was.
Therefore, Sophia picked up her bag and uttered, “Since you are done choosing, I’ll leave now.”
Seeing the ‘lonely’ and ‘fleeing’ Sophia, Xyla didn’t want to let her go just yet, so she took out her phone and gave it to her. “Sophia, can you help take a picture of me and Richard?”
Sophia received her phone and took a picture of both of them. After she was done, she prepared to return the phone, but Xyla stomped her foot and whined, “Sophia, help us take a few more.”
Sophia resisted the anger inside of her by comforting herself, They are just two dogs… They are just two dogs. Not only are they forcing me to watch them mate, but they are also asking me to take pictures of them.
Therefore, she reluctantly took a few more pictures. In the shots, the two of them were very affectionate as they kissed, hugged, pouted and stared at each other.
After a few pictures, Sophia returned the phone to Xyla and prepared to leave, but Xyla still wouldn’t let her go. She knew that Sophia was now crying her heart out inside!
“Sophia, I feel that you have good taste. Please continue helping me choose a ring!” Xyla dragged her inside deliberately.
Sophia really wanted to hit her right now, but suddenly, her eyes rolled around and landed on a popular counter on the side. She pointed at a series of rings and said, “Look at that. That looks nice!”
Richard furrowed his brows when he saw the series of rings she was pointing at.
The saleswoman immediately followed her direction and explained, “Miss Edwards, you really have good taste. This is Ido’s famous ‘The One’ series. Everyone can only buy one with their ID card for the rest of their life! It symbolizes eternal love between couples!”
Richard’s face darkened when he heard about ‘The One’ series.
If I buy this ring, I won’t be able to buy another one for the rest of my life!
It was always hard to predict the marriages of the elites, because to them, marriage served as a way to benefit both parties. Once the interest changed, the marriage would not sustain for too long.
If I buy this ring, how embarrassing will it be when we really have a divorce in the future…
This time, it was Sophia’s turn to be enthusiastic, so she dragged Xyla over to try on the rings. “Come. Let’s try some rings from ‘The One’ series.”
Meanwhile, Mrs. Harper shot Richard a glance, telling him that Xyla must not buy that ring.
She was now very satisfied with Xyla, but who could predict what would happen in the future?
Not to mention they were just getting engaged; even if they got married afterward, the future was still hard to predict.
The Harper Family is now growing steadily, and my son is such a brilliant man. What if, in the future, some lady from the Four Great Family grows fond of him?
However, the saleswoman was already displaying the series of rings to them enthusiastically. Sophia picked a ring excitedly for Xyla to try. “This looks nice. It really is pretty. It’s even prettier than the last one!”
Xyla was moved when she saw that series of rings.
There isn’t a woman in this world who doesn’t want a perfect love!
However, she knew that Richard would never buy it for her because the marriages of the elites were too unpredictable!
She sneered inside, Is this a way for Sophia to hit back on me? She is making fun of how fragile our love is. Does she really think that Richard won’t buy a ring from ‘The One’ series for me? I must have it!
When Richard came, Xyla acted adorably and shook his arm. “Richard, can you buy one for me? I really want one!”
Sure enough, he hesitated. He really wanted to give her a special ring for the rest of her life, but if he actually bought it, news about it would spread out the next day since many people were now watching them.
If anything happens to our marriage in the future, it will really be embarrassing.
Therefore, he could only try to find an excuse. “I don’t think the rings from ‘The One’ series are that pretty. It doesn’t look as nice as its reputation suggested. Why don’t we check out that Y Series just now?”
Mrs. Harper also quickly followed up his words. “‘The One’ series doesn’t look that expensive at all. It can’t represent your identity as the daughter-in-law of the Harper Family. Don’t worry. We have the money, so let’s look around and see what else they have.”
Xyla felt gloomy inside because the Harpers had already indirectly rejected her request.
Sophia knew that this would happen, so she suddenly exclaimed, “You’re right. The Harper Family is the richest family in Riverdale. Since you are the richest family in Riverdale, the wedding ring must be the largest and most expensive one! Why don’t you try out that one? That looks big!”
She pointed right at the middle of Ido’s hall. There was a showcase made of tempered glass, which couldn’t be penetrated even by high-caliber machine guns. Inside the showcase, there were lots of infrared rays that heavily protected the world’s most unique ring.
The saleswoman quickly introduced them to the ring passionately, “That ring is the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido—the ‘Eternal Love’!”
