“What did you argue about?” he asked.
My Gorgeous Wife is an EX- IVICT!
She hesitated, not wanting to expose him to this embarrassing matter. It would make her feel more inferior.
He seemed to see her concern and said, “You don’t have to say it if you don’t want to. But I hope you can tell me if you’re in any trouble. Don’t forget that you have a boyfriend.”
“Thank you.” Valda Theller was relieved. Then, she changed the topic and said, “By the way, will you go shopping with me later? Camille’s birthday is coming soon. I want to buy her a gift. Help me pick one out later.”
“Okay,” Brian said without any objection.
The two of them reached the shopping mall. Valda Theller looked at the clothes, cosmetics, and shoes in the shopping mall… For a moment, she had no idea what to get for Camille.
“What does your friend like?” Brian asked.
Valda Theller was speechless. “She’s a fangirl. She’s been fangirling over Neil for two years. She’s an avid fan of Neil. She bought a lot of Neil’s merchandise. She even bought a necklace from a jewelry brand endorsed by Neil.” “Neil?” Brian seemed to be thinking about something.
“Oh, yes.” Valda Theller’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Neil seems to be one of your artists. Why don’t you help me get Neil’s signature? She’ll be happy to get Neil’s autograph for her birthday.”
“That’s easy,” said Brian.
“In that case, why don’t I buy her something that Neil endorsed?
But she buys everything except for limited edition and hard-to-get ones.”
Valda Theller felt troubled as she thought of this.
“Let’s buy something limited edition, then,” said Brian.
“It’s not that easy. Those limited edition ones are either reserved or already sold out. It’ll be expensive even if we buy second-hand ones!” said Valda Theller as she gave an example. “It’s just like the jewelry brand Neil endorsed. The cross-lock necklace Neil wore on his poster is a limited edition. Even if it’s available in stores, only VIP customers can buy it. Ordinary customers can only buy another similar model.”
Camille could only choose the next best thing and buy a similar model. Valda Theller said the brand name, and Brian recognized it. He took her hand and said, “Come on.
Let’s go to the boutique.”
“Why?” she asked blankly.
3/3 “We’re going there to buy the limited-edition necklace,” he said.
“Are you a VIP member?” she asked in confusion. However, the brand was only an entry-level luxury brand. Besides, their target customers were young office ladies. It was not a brand Brian would patronize.
“I don’t. But as you said, Neil is an artist of my company, so it’s not difficult for me to get VIP limited edition items that he endorses,” said Brian.
“Will it be too much trouble for you?” she asked. Although Camille would be delighted if she bought her the limited-edition necklace, she did not want to cause him too much trouble.
“No, it’s a piece of cake. Come on,” said Brian.
Valda Theller smiled brightly. “I’m just gonna put it out there. I’ll pay for Camille’s gift. You can’t help me pay for it.”
She said in advance, fearing he would pay the bill again.
After all, whether it was their previous fake relationship or current real relationship, Brian took care of almost all of their expenses.
She knew she could not afford some high-end places, but she also hoped to bear the costs for some of the more affordable ones. She did not want him to be the only one bearing the expenses.
She was already grateful that he was willing to help her get the limited edition necklace for her friend’s gift. She did not want him to pay for her.
“It doesn’t matter if I buy it for you. After all, I’m willing to pay for it,” said Brian.
“But this gift is different. I still wish to buy a gift for Xinmina, and… uh… I can afford it. I can’t afford the expensive stuff, but I can afford ordinary stuff. I’ve been saving up over the years from drawing comics,” said Valda Theller.
He could not help wanting to laugh at her seriousness. Other women wished to spend more of his money when they were dating him, but she was doing the opposite and wished to spend less of his money.
“Okay, got it,” said Brian.
The boutique was on the fifth floor of the mall. On their way up to the fifth floor, Brian called his secretary and asked for a VIP account.
The brand had given them ten accounts when they worked with them.
When they came to the boutique, Brian showed the account, and Valda Theller asked about the limited edition necklace.
“Okay, each VIP account can purchase one limited edition necklace,” the sales assistant said.
“Okay, I want one. Can I have a look at it first?” Valda Theller said.
“Yes, please wait a moment,” the sales assistant said before turning around to the display case to get the necklace.
Valda Theller waited happily.
Just then, a voice rang out. “Valda Theller?” Valda Theller stiffened as she turned to look. Her face also turned slightly pale.
It was her classmate from university… Rhea Oliver. She was also one of the people who criticized her the most when she was attacked by the whole school because of Raymond Bowman.
Rhea Oliver also had feelings for Raymond Bowman back then, so Rhea Oliver kept causing trouble for Valda Theller when Raymond Bowman pretended to show interest in Valda Theller.
When Raymond Bowman later expressed in front of everyone that Valda Theller had pestered him, Rhea Oliver pretty much took the lead in attacking her.
Not only would she criticize Valda Theller nastily, but she would also get other girls to beat her up together.
Valda Theller was often covered with bruises back then!
The past was a nightmare for Valda Theller.
“So it’s really you,” Rhea Oliver said with a sneer. Her eyes were full of conte “It’s none of your business whether I can afford it or not,” Valda Theller replied coldly.
Rhea Oliver seemed to freeze for a while, not expecting that the pushover she could criticize at will in university would now give her a long face.
“Rhea Oliver, is this your friend?” The man who came with Rhea Oliver asked.
The man wore branded clothes and a luxury watch. The cheapest watch from the brand cost 200,000 dollars.
Rhea Oliver said in contempt, “I have no such friends. She’s disgusting. You don’t know how shameless she is…”
Valda Theller’s face turned pale instantly. Although Brian knew some of her dark history in university, she did not want him to learn anything from Rhea Oliver.
She knew that Rhea Oliver would say the most embarrassing things.
However, just as she was about to stop Rhea Oliver from going on, another voice already rang out. “I don’t care who you are, but if you insult my girlfriend again, I guarantee you’ll be more miserable than my girlfriend was in university!”
The affirmative tone and icy voice made Rhea Oliver stop speaking immediately. She shuddered and looked at Brian standing beside Valda Theller.
Brian had his back against Rhea Oliver earlier, so she did not see what Brian looked like.
Brian had turned around now, so Rhea Oliver could finally see his face. She could see him now, so her heart instantly became filled with jealousy.
‘Is this man Valda Theller’s boyfriend? Raymond Bowman is no match for the man in front of me.
‘How did Valda Theller get a boyfriend like this?’ Her boyfriend whom she had thought was a good catch as he was handsome and a rich heir was now nothing compared to Valda Theller’s boyfriend.
Valda Theller was probably tough earlier because she had her boyfriend as a backup.
Rhea Oliver said to Brian, “You probably don’t know what your girlfriend was like in university, right?
She’s a master at faking things. She looks innocent but is actually shameless. She’s been seducingmen since she was in university-”
“It seems you don’t take my warning seriously. I know Valda’s character. I also know what she’s gone through in university. Every word you say now will make things worse for you. I guarantee you!” Brian sald coldly.
Fear suddenly rose in Rhea Oliver’s heart. Perhaps he was so confident that it gave her the illusion that everything he said.
would come true.
“Who… Who do you think you’re threatening? You lunatic!” Rhea Oliver suppressed her panic and said, “I’m just reminding you out of kindness, lest the shameless woman fools you!”
