Chapter 33
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 33 âArenât you the daughter of the Murray family, the wealthiest family in Jubilife? How could you not have 87 million dollars? Are you an Imposter?â
The shop assistantâs sarcastic remark further embarrassed Yasmin. Still, she couldnât produce 87 million dollars on the spot.
Grinding her teeth, she took out her emerald pendant from her pocket.
âI forgot to bring my card with me today. Iâll leave my emerald pendant here and have my household staff bring the money later,â
Yasmin said.
âItâs 87 m million dollars, and youâre giving me an emerald pendant...â The shop assistant, who had been impatient moments ago, suddenly changed her attitude when she saw the emerald pendant. She became respectful and said, âPlease wait a moment. Iâll contact our manager.â
Noticing the sudden change in the shop assistantâs behavior, Yasmin was puzzled, but she immediately realized that the emerald pendant seemed to have significant value.
Her initial unease dissipated entirely. It was replaced by a triumphant gleam in her eyes as she tightly clutched the emerald pendant.
âHaha, Iâve hit the jackpot!â she thought.
âMr. Quinn, weâve just received news that Mrs. Quinn Seniorâs emerald pendant has been found,â Samuel reported respectfully to Wilson seated in the main position.
Wilson narrowed his eyes at the news. His voice was cold as he instructed, âPrepare the car. I need to pay a visit.â
Martha always talked about thanking her life savior. Even if it was just a formality, he had to go. Otherwise, Martha would nag him again.
Besides, the lady did save Marthaâs life, so it was only right for the Quinn family to repay her.
âOkay, Mr. Quinn. Iâll make the arrangements now.â Samuel then added, âOh, Mr. Quinn, thereâs another matter I need to inform you about. Elixirs Apothecary still refuses to sell the Nirvaroot to us.â
The Nirvaroot had excellent effects in treating Marthaâs heart disease, so Wilson had been searching for it. He finally learned that Elixirs Apothecary had one, but they refused to sell it, even when he offered 100 million dollars.
A layer of frost formed on Wilsonâs handsome face. He emanated an air of chilling hostility that sent shivers down Samuelâs spine. âIf they wonât sell it, then weâll take it by force.â
This was Wilsonâs usual modus operandi. Samuel thought this to himself before promptly replying, âUnderstood, Mr. Quinn.â
Back at the mall, the shop assistantâs attitude toward Yasmin changed dramatically. She became exceedingly polite. âPlease come with me, Ms. Murray. Mr. Quinn has requested your presence.â
This announcement shocked and excited everyone presept. Sá´aÊá´h thá´ Find_Nøvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âWhat? Mr. Quinn is here?â
âOh my God, Mr. Quinn is actually here! And heâs specifically asking for Yas âThis is so enviable!â
Hearing these remarks greatly satisfied Yasminâs vanity, and she felt a surge of pride.
âBut wasnât Mr. Quinn indifferent to Vas at last nightâs banquer?â
This sudden statement caused Yasminâs expression to darken instantly. Noticing the change in her expression, the other socialites fell silent at once.
Yasmin clutched the emerald pendant tightly. Although the words were harsh, they were true. Despite Wilsonâs cold demeanor toward her at the banquet last night, he now suddenly wanted to see her.
Could it be because of the emerald pendant in her hand?
The shop assistant led Yasmin to the lounge, where she saw the cold and elegant man seated in the main seat.
