My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 155

The saleswoman was very proud as she looked at the ring.

That was the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido—the ‘Eternal Love’! A legend of the jewelry world!

The ring was grinded from a huge rare high-quality red diamond, and the whole process took a year to finish. The whole ring was made of pure diamond with no other elements added. The ring was 150 carats, and all the materials were extracted from the heart of the diamond, which was the best part.

The grinding process of the ring required an extremely high level of technique, especially when making the circular part of the ring, which required the latest grinding technique. More than a dozen top grinding masters worked non-stop for a whole year for it to be made into this dazzling jewelry.

Sophia patted the glass cabinet in front of her and spoke boldly, “That’s big enough for the Harper Family. Someone come and take it out for Miss Huff to try!”

Richard and Mrs. Harper’s expressions changed drastically.

The saleswoman also revealed a distressed look. “That ring is the only one in the world, so it’s very valuable. Do you really want to try it…”

She actually meant, Can you even afford it? That ring costs 70 million! If it were Michael, we might take it out for him to try, but the wealth of the Harper Family…

Sophia continued to pretend not knowing anything about jewelry as she uttered boldly, “What kind of an expression is that? Do you really think that the Harper Family can’t afford it? What kind of a shop is this? How can you look down on them? Just do what I told you to do!”

The saleswoman felt aggrieved inside because she finally noticed that Sophia was trying to humiliate the Harper Family on purpose, so she could only ask someone to take it out.

Xyla waved her hand hurriedly. “There’s no need for that. I don’t like it!”

Everyone who came in the store could see the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido, so everyone knew about its price. It had been sitting there for a few decades already, and there were only a few people who had tried it before. The last time someone tried it was two weeks ago, and the last person before that dated back a year.

The people who had the confidence to try the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido were described as the elites among the elites! Xyla didn’t have the confidence to try it!

Sophia didn’t seem to understand the reason she rejected trying it out. In their eyes, she was a poor student who knew nothing, so it was logical for her to not know the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido. To her, it was just a big ring. “A diamond ring for the rich should be as big as possible. That ring will suit you very well! Try it! Try it!”

When someone requested to try the ring, the whole Ido seemed as though they were facing an attack from enemies while they started preparing to take out their Imperial Diamond Ring for Xyla to try.

Richard could not keep quiet any longer, so he spoke quickly, “No need for that!”

If we shamelessly try that ring, we will actually look shameless!

But the store was in chaos, so no one could hear him.

In an instant, the store was noisy, and everyone came over to see which billionaire was here to try the ring.

After the infrared rays were turned off, the armed security guard carefully opened the layer of tempered glass. A soft anti-skid carpet was laid down on the marble floor as the saleswoman took out the Imperial Diamond Ring before carefully sending it to Xyla.

The staff were in high alert. There were more than a dozen armed security guards forming a human shield while the explosion-proof door at the entrance was lowered. The whole operation of Ido was shut down for the time being so that Xyla could try the ring.

The ring was Ido’s Imperial Diamond Ring, and it cost 70 million USD, so there couldn’t be any accidents!

Even though diamonds were the hardest material, they were still brittle. If it fell to the ground, gravity would shatter the diamond into millions of pieces right away.

Everyone in Ido, from the salespeople to the security guards, were holding their breath. Even the saleswoman had sweat rolling down her forehead.

Then, she looked at Xyla and said to her seriously, “Miss Huff, this ring is worth 70 million. Please be careful when you try it. Come here and wash your hands first.”

After all, this was the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido. In order to prevent any malicious intent, nobody could get a few meters near the ring when someone was trying it, so the fully-armed security guards formed a human shield to separate the ring from everyone else. These security guards were actually retired special forces who had gun licenses, so the firearms in their hands were real.

The atmosphere was extraordinary!

Everyone watched from afar as Xyla prepared to try on the Imperial Diamond Ring of Ido.

At the moment, the Harpers became the center of attention. Both Mrs. Harper and Richard’s expressions darkened, but they had no choice other than to smile. Xyla bit her lower lip while looking at the ring placed in front of her, which was dazzling like a bright star.

70 million! Now that everyone is watching and the ring has been taken out, I have no choice but to try it!

She could only brace herself and reach out to try it.

When she wore it, the people beside started whispering among themselves.

“Where did the Harpers get their confidence to try that ring?”

“That ring is worth 70 million, and they can’t even afford it, so why try it? What are they thinking?”

“Maybe they are trying to impress others.”

As soon as Xyla heard the ugly whispers from the crowd, her hands trembled when trying on the ring. She lowered her head as she felt humiliated, and her lashes drooped to cover the hatred in her eyes.

It’s all Sophia’s fault! She’s doing this on purpose to humiliate me!

She revealed a hateful smile and said to Sophia, “Sophia, come and have a try yourself. It’s not easy for you to enter a high-end place like Ido once in your life. I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to come here again!”

Sophia smiled as she stood aside far away from the 70 million. She replied, “Even though I want it very much, I’m broke. I can’t afford this ring, so I’ll pass!”

She was right to openly admit that she was a poor student and she couldn’t afford the ring! However, the Harpers didn’t dare to do so because they were Riverdale’s most powerful family. Could they simply admit that they weren’t able to afford a little ring? No, they couldn’t!

It was even impossible for them to buy it because the ring cost 70 million USD. If the price was converted into Cethos’ currency, the number would be much higher than 70 million.

Xyla looked toward Richard pitifully. His face revealed his anger as he put all the blame on her again.

If she didn’t actively provoke Sophia, she wouldn’t have been humiliated by her this badly! She can only blame herself for this predicament!

Then, he spoke in a deep voice, “I don’t think this price suits you. Why don’t we just leave it?”

Xyla nodded her head.

The saleswoman still maintained her professional smile. “Since you don’t want to try it, I’ll just put it back!”

She carefully placed the ring back in the box. Under the protection of a dozen armed guards, the Eternal Love was put back inside the tempered glass. After several layers of tempered glass were locked, multiple infrared rays appeared to keep the ring under strict security.

The saleswoman was definitely mocking them in her heart, If you can’t afford it, don’t try it! Broke fellas!
